She returned home to a full house; young and old, everyone was there.

Gu Xiaoxi’s father, Gu Hua, was a striking man in his forties. Of course, having such a beautiful daughter, his looks were naturally not too far behind.

Her mother, Tian Mei, however, was in her thirties and looked so young it was almost inappropriate.

As for her brothers and sisters, there were even more of them.

Just the ones who came to express their concern for her numbered four, and these were her closest kin. Cousins and paternal female cousins weren’t even counted.

In the end, it was obvious that for such a large estate, the family was bound to be extensive.

Among these smiling faces offering warm concerns, how many were sincere remained an unknown.

In the end, Gu Xiaoxi felt somewhat dizzy.

Seeing her discomfort, Bai Yaxuan immediately instructed Mi Xi to take her back to her room to rest early.

After Gu Xiaoxi returned to her room, she finally had her freedom.

Seeing her discomfort, Mi Xi called the doctor. It turned out she was just tired.

Once everyone at home had dispersed, Mi Xi stood in front of the bed and instructed a servant, "Prepare a bath for the young miss and let her sleep early. She indeed had a hard day today."

"Yes!" The servant was very submissive.

Mi Xi walked forward, touched Gu Xiaoxi’s head, and gently patted the back of her head, saying, "Sleep well. If there’s any problem, call your brother immediately. Your brother has taught you many times, do you remember my number?"

Gu Xiaoxi shook her head! She wasn’t the real person, how could she remember so much.

Mi Xi patiently took out his phone and carefully entered his number again. Then he taught her how to use it repeatedly, "At home, you must be good. In two more months, everything will be alright. No one will bully you anymore, understand?"

Gu Xiaoxi listened, bewildered. Was someone often bullying her?

After Mi Xi left, the girl who took care of her approached to help her undress.

Gu Xiaoxi threw her phone onto the bed and abruptly stood up.

The girl was startled, "Miss, it’s time to take a bath and sleep."

"I know!" Gu Xiaoxi crossed her arms and looked around the room.

The room was huge, as big as three ordinary rooms put together.

The bed for sleeping was fan-shaped, clearly custom-made; the wardrobe was so expansive it could stock a boutique.

Compared to her previous life, it was like she had suddenly fallen into Golden City.

This was the life of the foolish Gu Xiaoxi, too luxurious for words.

Even bathing required someone to assist!

"Miss? Don’t scare Qiao Wan!"

Gu Xiaoxi naturally knew why the girl wore such a terrified expression. She stepped forward, hooked her chin with her finger, and revealed a mischievous smile, saying, "Sis isn’t stupid anymore. But you can’t go talking nonsense, got it?"

"Can’t I tell Master Mi Xi either?" Qiao Wan asked incredulously.

"Who’s Mi Xi?" Gu Xiaoxi raised an eyebrow.

"The one who just left!"

"Of course not!" Gu Xiaoxi wasn’t about to let others know about her.

This family might be wealthy and glamorous, but it felt more like a golden cage.

She didn’t need much money; what she valued was her freedom.

Besides, she had no intention of getting married.

"Start by telling me about the family. My father and that mother who looks so young—what’s the story there?" Gu Xiaoxi, sitting on the small sofa in the room with one leg propped over the other, massaged her temples and asked.

"Your father is very wealthy. He’s been in the oil mining business, has many high-tech product companies under his control, as well as tourism, hotels, entertainment, and other industries.

He’s currently the third richest man in the country.

Your mother passed away early, and the mistress is the one who married into the family later.

All the other children are hers, except for you. "

Gu Xiaoxi naturally realized that Qiao Wan was referring to the four siblings she had met in the living room earlier.

"And Mi Xi?"

"Oh! He’s a child adopted by the master and grew up with you. In this household, if it weren’t for his protection, you might have already..." Qiao Wan’s voice trailed off to a whisper.

Gu Xiaoxi was smart; she understood without further explanation, didn’t she?

Since ancient times, there had been strife between the former wife and the current one.

Furthermore, she was the child of the former wife.

"Miss, don’t be sad. The master also cherishes you!" Qiao Wan, seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s silence, thought she was upset about the matter.

Gu Xiaoxi ignored her and continued to inquire, "Do I have any relationship with President Bai?"

Mentioning Bai Yaxuan, the young girl’s eyes lit up.

"Miss, President Bai is your fiancé," Qiao Wan said enviously, "I heard that you weren’t silly when you were little.

You saved President Bai in a car accident and became silly as a result.

President Bai recognized you as his fiancée from then on and vowed to marry you in the future. Think about how romantic that is!"

Gu Xiaoxi touched her head; was there really such a thing?

It seemed that President Bai was quite principled and explained why he would still want to marry her despite her being foolish.

"Alright, I got it. You can go now! I can bathe and sleep by myself," Gu Xiaoxi said, attempting to dismiss her. She wasn’t accustomed to being watched while bathing.

"That won’t do. If the lady asks, what shall I say? The master will also scold me for not taking care of you properly."

Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and felt it made sense; this way, she wouldn’t expose herself.

"Then go get me a glass of milk!" Gu Xiaoxi said and slipped into the bathroom. By the time she came back with the milk, she would have finished bathing.

As for this family, Gu Xiaoxi’s lips curled into a brilliant smile. How could a person without any skills have managed to be sold to such a distant place?

She was curious to see who would dare be arrogant in front of her!
