Shen Yu then noticed that the girl in front of him had a small mouth and was eating like a hamster. Her mouth was stuffed and her cheeks were bulging, she looked very adorable.

His grandfather, Shen Yan, had invited five of the most renowned doctors to a restaurant today. He wanted to ask them for treatment plans for his grandson’s illness.

​​ 

None of their proposed treatments satisfied Shen Yan.

Over the past few years, he had tried many different methods, but there was no progress at all. His grandson was still getting more and more ill as the days passed.

To be honest, Shen Yan didn’t expect much today. These kinds of psychological illnesses were the most difficult to treat.

Regardless, the results of the meeting today still made Shen Yan’s heart ache.

Compared to his grandson’s lively appearance when he was younger, his perpetually gloomy face today made Shen Yan feel more and more distressed. He hated the Sanford family. How could they lay their hands on a child?

Shen Yan and the five doctors walked out of the restaurant. When they saw the scene in the alley, they were all surprised.

The doctors are fully aware of Shen Yu’s condition.

Shen Yu had literally lost interest in pretty much everything.

The fact that he was standing here, talking to a girl, watching her eat, and spending time on her, was a major change for the better.

These experts in psychology agreed that this little girl was the breakthrough to treat Shen Yu.

Shen Yan looked at the little girl who was in tattered clothes and raising her head to look at the group of people in front of her.

Shen Yan didn’t want to scare the girl, so he asked with a smile, “Hey buddy, wanna come to this boy’s house? He has many friends there at home as well. Do you want to play with them too?”

Emily knew that the old man in front of her meant to adopt her.

As her big round eyes blinked, a light gleamed through them. Her lips moved a few times, but words wouldn’t quite come out. She nodded eagerly, afraid that if she was even a little late, this old man would take back what he said.

“Haha, alright then little girl. From now on, this is your Fifth Brother. When you return home, there will be other brothers there to play with you.”

“Hi Grandpa! Hi Brother!” Emily greeted, her soft and tender voice echoed in the alley. Shen Yu once again felt that there was still light out there. With light, the darkness of the world wasn’t so scary anymore.

Shen Yan looked at his grandson, Shen Yu, and the corners of his mouth lifted up slightly.

Just as he was about to give up, hope presented itself to the Shen family once again.

The car soon arrived at the Shen family mansion.

The Shen family mansion was located at the top of the mountain and occupied an extremely large area. The entire mountain belonged to them.

The Shen family has a hundred years of history, it was very prosperous and was home to countless people that belonged to the top echelons of society.

As the head of the family had returned, the butler led a group of servants to welcome him at the gates.

“Welcome back, Sir.”

The synchronized, loud, and clear greeting resounded in Emily’s ears, chasing away the sleepiness in her head and energizing her.

Shen Yan turned his head and saw the little fellow staring with her eyes widened at the Shen family mansion.

“What do you think? This will be Emi’s home from now on.”

“It’s beautiful, Grandpa.”

After thinking for a while, Emily continued, “Grandpa, I’m very easy to raise, I only need a little bit of food.”

When Shen Yan heard that, he had mixed feelings.

She was only a child, yet she had already been through so much hardship. She had no sense of security at all. Shen Yan didn’t know what she’d experienced at such a young age.

Shen Yan squatted down and said to Emily sincerely, “Emily, regardless of whether you can understand what I’m going to say next, you must remember it. From the moment you’ve come to the Shen family and became one of us, you’re destined to break away from your previous life. You will start a new life from here. The future will be very different from what you’ve experienced before, but at the very least, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing. I promise you as the head of the Shen family.”

“Thank you, Grandpa. I will repay you in the future.” Emily’s gaze was firm as she spoke sincerely.

Although she didn’t quite understand, Emily knew that this was a promise that Grandpa had made to her.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw the dazzling plants in the garden.

Old Mrs. Shen, the heirs of the Shen family, the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, and all five of Shen Yan’s grandchildren were waiting at the door of the main house.

Emily looked at the unfamiliar surroundings timidly.

She hid behind Shen Yu and peeked carefully at the group in front of her.

Even though she knew that everyone here was Grandpa Shen Yan’s and Shen Yu’s relatives, she found it hard to process any of this.

Even though they’d heard from Shen Yan’s secretary that Shen Yu’s condition had improved, the scene before their eyes was still incredulous to the Shen family.

Ever since that incident, members of the Shen family had had to stay at least half a meter away from Shen Yu, let alone touch him.

Mrs Shen and the others looked at Emily fervently.

“Grandma, First Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother.”

Shen Yu turned his head, hinting at Emily to follow his lead and greet everyone.

Emily knew that it was no good to hide behind Shen Yu, so she held on to the corner of Shen Yu’s clothes and revealed herself. She smiled sweetly, “Grandma, First Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother. Hi everyone, I’m Emily.”
