The Rebirth of an Orphan

Chapter 9 I just want to find an ordinary person

This Deng Xiao has sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. Although he is a young man from a noble family, he reveals a hint of the chivalrous air.

He and Gu Lun grew up together as childhood friends. This time, he finally brought Gu Lun out to relax, and he was also asked to do so by others. For many years, he had refused to compromise with his family, and that powerful figure in a high position could not do anything to his own son.

"How do you feel now? After this trip out, why don't you just admit your mistake when you go back?" Deng Xiao raised his hand and poked Gu Lun's shoulder.

Gu Lun angrily pushed his hand away, his eyes tinged with cold frost: "Deng Xiao, how many times have I told you to stay out of my relationship with my family from now on, or we can stop being brothers, and you don't have to drink any more wine if you keep nagging me."

"Okay, okay, you're the boss and you have the final say. Don't be angry. Let's go. Zhao Chenyang has prepared some wine and food. Let's have a drink and chat. Otherwise, it will be difficult to talk when we go to the Sun family tomorrow. It won't be good for others to see anything."

Gu Lun was about to follow Deng Xiao to leave, but suddenly stopped and asked, "Oh, by the way, how many daughters does the Zhao family have?"

Deng Xiao was horrified and said, "No, you are not attracted to someone, are you? The daughter of this small family is not worthy of you. If you want to find a wife in Yuncheng casually, I am afraid that your master will not forgive you if the family background is not right for you."

Gu Lun glared at him coldly, and Deng Xiao was so scared that he quickly shut his mouth.

This guy is really too outrageous. How dare the Zhao family, who is of such a low status, marry the daughter of the mayor of Kyoto? He is really too bastard. But Deng Xiao dared not say anything. After all, even the Deng family was oppressed by the powerful in Kyoto. And this cold guy in front of him is the only son of the head of the Gu family, the head of the four major families. He is the only heir to the most powerful and top-level wealthy family in Kyoto. The entire Gu family will belong to him in the future. Deng Xiao can't afford to offend this prince.

Zhao Xihua returned to her remote courtyard, and Pingshui came to greet her, smiling and saying, "Sister, the old lady sent some new clothes and shoes over. Let you try them on later. If they don't fit, tell Mrs. Zhang and she will help you change them."

Zhao Xihua looked at the box of clothes and was slightly stunned. Why are they all brand names? She opened the box and the clothes looked too gorgeous. Zhao Xihua felt that something was wrong.

Without thinking too much, she asked Pingshui to go to the old lady to inquire about the situation. Pingshui was smart and clever, and she came back soon. She whispered to Zhao Xihua: "I asked Mrs. Zhang at the old lady's place. The old lady sent you clothes today to get your place at the Sun family's banquet. The old lady specifically asked you to go. Sister, this is a great happy event that fell from the sky!"

Zhao Xihua raised her lips with a hint of sarcasm and said, "How can there be any happy event?" She looked at Pingshui and smiled faintly, "An orphan like me with a bad fate should not dream of the wealth of a noble family. Which big family would be willing to marry a woman with a bad fate and heavy yin energy? The old lady clearly knew that I was unlucky, but she still asked me to participate in this disguised blind date event of the Sun family. Do you think good things will come out of it?"

Pingshui was stunned when she heard this, and her expression suddenly became nervous: "Sister, what should we do?"

Zhao Xihua herself was at a loss for a moment. In her previous life, she did not attend the Sun family's banquet, but in this life, the old lady asked her to attend. It seemed that some things had gradually changed.

"There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. A living person will never let himself be held to death by urine. Let's walk and see. Don't worry, there will always be a way to solve it." Pingshui nodded, and seeing that Zhao Xihua was also tired, she took some food and asked her to rest early.

At night, looking at the faint light coming in from the window, Zhao Xihua tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. This was her first night after her rebirth, and she was actually a little scared. She was afraid that after falling asleep, she would wake up and find herself back in the dark and damp basement of the Sun family. That was her cage, and all the best years of her life were imprisoned there, unable to escape.

In this life, she neither wanted to live under the roof of the cannibalistic Zhao family, nor did she want to go to the Sun family and marry that vegetative person. She just wanted to find an ordinary person to be with for the rest of her life. She didn't ask for wealth and honor, as long as she could live in peace.

But for a woman like her from a prominent family, marriage is never decided by herself. It is all planned for the benefit of the family. What's more, she is an orphan and has no say in it.

Zhao Xihua slowly closed her eyes. Since God allowed her to start over again, she would seize the opportunity to live a wonderful life for herself. Even if there were difficulties and dangers, it didn't matter as long as she could face them bravely.

The next morning, Zhao Xihua chose a goose yellow dress given by the old lady and put it on. Old people like bright colors. Since she was going to thank the old lady, she still had to cater to her preferences and not dress too plainly.

The clothes she usually wears are very plain in color, but today she wears this light yellow dress, which makes her look both cute and charming, with a kind of dazzling beauty.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xihua decided to wear a white pleated skirt, adding a bit of plain color, so as not to make the sisters too jealous. But even if she wanted to be low-key, she still attracted a group of people's attention when she came to the old lady's room.

The second sister Zhao Siqi's face suddenly darkened, and she deliberately provoked: "Fourth sister is dressed so eye-catchingly today that the sisters can't open their eyes." This remark caused a burst of laughter from the people around, but Zhao Xihua pursed her lips and smiled without answering, and the whole person remained calm.

Zhao Ziqin stepped forward, took Zhao Xihua's hand, and asked her to sit next to him. He smiled and said, "I heard that Fourth Sister will also go to the Sun family's banquet this time. I wonder if Fourth Sister is ready?"

Zhao Xihua secretly found it funny that her elder sister was really good at pretending. It seemed that she was determined to win the Sun family's banquet this time, and she had to be careful not to steal the limelight from her younger sister who had a bad fate.

She really didn't mean to steal her limelight at the Sun family's banquet, so she lowered her voice and said, "Big sister, this is my first time attending such a banquet, and I don't know what to prepare, so I didn't prepare anything. If I really go, I hope Big sister will take good care of me."

Zhao Ziqin's heart tightened when she saw Zhao Xihua's outfit. This fourth sister was usually considered a beauty even when she dressed simply. Today, after a little bit of dressing up, she had a kind of beauty that could overwhelm the whole country. She felt like she was being outdone.

She immediately became angry. She had originally wanted to let her fifth sister Zhao Lingyun go, but that fifth sister actually wanted to compete with her for the music score. So she deliberately told the old lady about some of the ridiculous things that her fifth sister had done in the past. After hearing them, the old lady was worried that Zhao Lingyun would not be steady enough outside, and it would be a disgrace to the Zhao family.

So Zhao Lingyun couldn't go. After some thought, the old lady actually asked Zhao Xihua to go. This made Zhao Siqi very angry.

Seeing how Zhao Xi painted today, Zhao Ziqin felt inexplicably flustered, but things couldn't be changed since they had come to this point. In addition, seeing how Zhao Xi painted it seemed like she really hadn't made any preparations, she probably wouldn't be able to overshadow her.

The sisters had just talked for a while when Mrs. Zhang came in nervously and said to the old lady in a hurry, "Madam, the young master of the Deng family in Kyoto is here and said he wants to visit you."
