Two years later, the 9-year-old Yuan ixi still did not understand what her value was. Compared to her tall brother, she could not do anything well.
She was still alive because her brother loved her, and her father loved her too.
If following the old rules of the Yuan family, she would have been eliminated long ago, and her na would have been completely erased.
They were too powerful and could easily erase her existence. Yuan ixi could only feel at ease when she was with her mother.
However, a car accident changed everything. She saw her mother bleeding non-stop.
Her weak mother said, "ixi, don't be afraid. Your father will co and rescue us soon! He is a perfect man, and we will definitely be fine!"
Yuan ixi cried.
Mother, no one will co...
Throughout the generations of the Yuan family, the lady of the house always passed away before the lord, and they would never allow a woman of a different surna to have a chance to seize power.
Her mother's breathing stopped, her eyes closed as if asleep. In her last second of death, she still believed her perfect husband Yuan Jianghai would co.
Unlike her naive mother, Yuan ixi inherited the high intelligence of the Yuan family. She knew this day would co sooner or later, but she still felt intense sadness.
With her mother gone, she too would die.
Her world began to collapse, and pain followed, especially in her head, hurting so much that she could not think clearly.
On the verge of life and death, her father Yuan Jianghai finally ca.
He carried his bleeding daughter out of the car wreckage, gently caressing her smooth long hair, and coldly stared into Yuan ixi's dull, lifeless eyes.
He said gently, "My dear daughter."
"Congratulations, from now on, you have value. You will save many people, and your na will be praised by humanity, just like the heroic epics passed down."
"But being a savior always ans enduring a lot of suffering. I bless you with an indomitable soul."
Yuan ixi lay in her father's gentle embrace, her consciousness blurred from excessive blood loss.
Before, her father had always treated her with indifference because she was too weak, valueless, and harmless - an expendable existence.
But now, for the first ti, Yuan ixi felt loved by her father...
Yuan Chan, who was abroad, heard that his sister had been in a car accident and imdiately put down his research project and flew back to the Yuan family.
Yuan Chan questioned his father, "Where is she?!"
Yuan Jianghai smiled, "Have you forgotten all the manners and etiquette I taught you? When you return ho, you should greet first."
Burning with anger, Yuan Chan clenched his fists, but he could not let his emotions explode. His father was like a tyrant, demanding everyone to bow to him.
If he did not comply, Yuan Chan might never see his sister again.
Yuan Chan slightly bowed and said coldly, "Good morning, Father."
Yuan Jianghai was satisfied, "Good, good morning, Chan. I've missed you so much. You flew away as soon as your wings hardened and never ca back ho."
He walked up to Yuan Chan and embraced him, "Welco back."
Yuan Chan endured his father's cold embrace, as if he had never escaped this coldness.
After a while, Yuan Jianghai released Yuan Chan and leaned on his black wooden cane, wobbling as he walked, "My condition is deteriorating rapidly. In a couple of days, I'll need a wheelchair. This may be the last ti I embrace you like this."
Yuan Chan asked, "Where is my sister?"
Yuan Jianghai sat in an armchair, his spinal disease causing intense pain, but his expression remained gentle.
"This accident shattered many of her bones and organs. She's in the hospital receiving treatnt, with tubes all over her body. She's had seven surgeries, and her bones have been reinforced with steel pins."
"As my daughter, she is now exceptional, and I'm very proud of her."
"She can endure every pain without shedding a tear."
"She's still very weak, so don't disturb her yet. Stay here for now, and you'll see her when the ti is right."
Of course, Yuan Chan knew the truth about the car accident. He now regretted not expecting this coldhearted tyrant to act so soon.
He had just beco independent at 18 and earned so money from his weapons project. He had planned to stabilize and then take his mother and sister away.
He questioned, "Why did you have to act now?"
Yuan Jianghai fell into reminiscence, seeming sowhat saddened, "I told you, my condition is deteriorating. I don't know when I'll die, but I know she must die before ."
"I've played the role of a good husband in front of her all my life, except this ti..."
"As soone who's been through it, let give you a small piece of advice: When you get married soday, spend less ti with your wife because if you stay with her for too long, she'll beco dependent on you like a small animal, and you'll find it hard not to develop feelings for her."
"When she's gone, I was distraught for several days. It was really unpleasant."
Yuan Chan could not bear to listen any longer.
Even after reaching the pinnacle of coldbloodedness, he still had to put on a show of contrived tenderness!
He strode away quickly, not intending to stay at the Yuan residence. He knew his father would not easily let him see his sister, so he had to wait patiently.
However, that wait lasted three months.
Yuan Chan was coerced into attending many gatherings.
Yuan Jianghai, now in a wheelchair, proudly told the guests, "My friends, my son can finally help with work. He's still young and a bit impulsive, but he's capable. He will inherit the Yuan family, and I hope you all can support him in the future."
The guests applauded this headstrong young master, though they doubted him. Their loyalty belonged only to Yuan Jianghai, but since the old patriarch had spoken, they had to obey.
So ti later, Yuan Chan asked Yuan Jianghai again, "Father, can I see her now?"
Yuan Jianghai pondered for a mont, "I'll let you see her once. She really wants to see you too."
Yuan Chan got into a car, and after a few hours, it went from the bustling city to a remote hilly area, where a new complex had been built, with an overall gray-white appearance and nurous security personnel at the entrance.
Seeing it was a Yuan family vehicle, the guards opened the gate.
Under Yuan Jianghai's guidance, Yuan Chan entered a large building, with an iron door opening every few steps to let him through.
Finally, Yuan Jianghai stopped at the laboratory entrance.
He said, "She was a very special child from birth, carrying a large number of pathogenic genes."
"These past few days, she has been extrely resilient, enduring a great deal of experintation, allowing to develop many new drugs."
The door was opened, and the sister's hysterical screams ca out. She was in extre pain, clutching her head with both hands, curled up on the cold floor. When she saw Yuan Chan, she crawled towards him.
She said, "Brother, it really hurts so much, I want to die!"
She threw herself into Yuan Chan's embrace, "Kill ! Please, kill !"
In that mont, Yuan Chan felt himself shattered.
Yuan Jianghai sighed, wheeling his wheelchair behind Yuan ixi, with just a gentle pull, she returned to his embrace.
Yuan ixi said, "Father, let's end this, I don't want to persevere anymore!"
Yuan Jianghai gently said, "My dear daughter, the newly developed drug has been launched, because of you, countless terminal illnesses have been conquered, and many children have been saved. You've endured the pain on their behalf, and I've nad those drugs after you. They are praising you constantly."
Yuan ixi's small hand grasped her father's clothes, "But... but I...!"
Gently stroking his daughter's long hair, Yuan Jianghai said, "The Yuan family has always had a genetic disease that causes severe headaches and loss of rationality, leading to terrible acts. You have this gene as well, and it has begun to manifest."
"If you can persevere, and let develop a cure for it, your brother can also be saved."
"Aren't you very fond of him? He cherishes you too. You've already lost your mother, do you want to lose him as well?"
Yuan ixi gradually cald down, and she didn't seem to be in as much pain.
Yuan Jianghai proudly said,
"You truly have an indomitable soul!"
"You possess imasurable, imnse value!"
"Humanity will erect monunts in your honor!"
