A man and a woman are alone in a room, which does not bring any ambiguous atmosphere.
After the two maids left, Xu Cheng asked with a puzzled look: "What on earth is going on?"
Evelin walked over slowly, sat down on a chair nearby, and said slowly: "What question are you asking about?"
"The problem with what they call me."
Xu Cheng looked at her elegant sitting posture and said: "Although I saved you, I don't think you would turn a mixed-race child into a direct descendant just to thank me. What did you do to make a group of people discriminate against me?" People who have completely changed their attitude?"
"You're right."
Evelin agreed with Xu Cheng's words: "If you just saved me, it wouldn't be a big deal. Ed has saved me many times, but he is still a servant. He must stand while I sit. I He can’t sit while standing.”
Xu Cheng frowned slightly and said nothing, but waited for Evelin's next words.
Evelin continued: "I didn't do anything, I just announced your true identity. Now you are no longer the guard of the manor, but my nephew."
"My true identity? Am I your nephew?"
Xu Cheng looked stunned. He had considered many possibilities, but he had not considered the possibility of being related by blood to Evelin.
Evelin crossed her long legs and said, “Yes, your mother is my half-sister. To prevent any mistakes, I already did a blood test for you when you were unconscious, and the results were all right. .”
Xu Cheng rubbed his temples with his hands: "Let me rub it first, Miss..."
Evelin interrupted him rudely: "You should call me aunt now."
"aunt……"
Looking at Evelin's young and beautiful appearance, a sentence suddenly flashed in Xu Cheng's mind - Elder? Wouldn't that be more exciting?
Good guy, it turns out the dog manager is waiting for him here.
Evelin's real age was twenty-seven, but she looked like she was in her early twenties. She really couldn't say "Aunt Xu Cheng" this time.
He coughed: "If there is a blood relationship between us, then why did you refuse to recognize each other before? Is it because I saved you that you think this family relationship is valuable?"
"The reasons for this are complex."
Facing this nephew who saved her life, Evelin patiently explained: "It's normal for you to have resentment in your heart, but how about you listen to me tell you what happened before and then make a judgment? "
Xu Cheng nodded and made a please gesture.
Before coming, Evelin had obviously already anticipated the topics that she should talk about when meeting Xu Cheng, so she had already prepared the copy in her mind.
Without thinking, she began to tell what happened decades ago: "All these tragedies begin with your grandma..."
Evelyn's father is Claire. He has two younger brothers, Henry and Michael, and a childhood sweetheart named Melissa.
The four grew up together and have a great relationship with each other.
However, a woman between three men will definitely trigger an emotional battle.
All three brothers like Melissa, and Melissa and the youngest Michael have long been in love with each other.
When the four of them came of age, Melissa's father betrothed her to Claire for the sake of the family's interests.
Michael privately begged his brother Claire, hoping that he would refuse the marriage, but Claire also liked Melissa, so he rejected his brother's request.
The young couple Michael and Melissa were eventually broken up, Melissa married Claire, and Michael turned against his eldest brother.
In the second year of her marriage, Melissa gave birth to a daughter, who then died in childbirth.
This daughter was named Lisa. Clare resented her arrival and took away his wife, so he ignored this daughter. He remarried and gave birth to several children, including Evelyn.
Lisa, who has lacked father's love since she was a child, has an eccentric personality, but receives the care of her uncle Michael, from whom she feels the long-lost father's love.
As she grew older, Lisa's appearance gradually became similar to that of her mother, almost exactly the same.
Michael, who was extremely affectionate towards Melissa, actually fell in love with his niece because of it.
When Claire found out about this unfaithful relationship, she became furious and immediately broke them up and sent her daughter to study abroad.
In order to cut off her brother's thoughts, Claire found a suitable fiancé for Lisa and they would get married after graduating from studying abroad.
As a result, Lisa, who returned from studying abroad, actually brought back a child - she fell in love with a classmate while studying abroad, and eventually became pregnant and gave birth to a child without telling her father.
Lisa's behavior humiliated Violet, who values her bloodline. Claire was so angry that she almost had brain congestion. She severed the father-daughter relationship with Lisa on the spot and kicked her out of the house.
Lisa took care of her children alone and lived a life of poverty. She eventually died of illness fifteen years ago, leaving behind a five-year-old only son, Archer Grant.
Michael wanted to secretly take Archer home for adoption, but was blocked by Claire.
This brought Michael's hatred for his eldest brother to its peak. Finally, ten years ago, Michael took advantage of Claire's serious illness to seize power, plunging the family into serious civil strife.
The civil strife ended with Michael's failure to seize power. Claire has always felt guilty about her brother and did not kill him in the end, but was imprisoned in the dungeon forever.
This civil strife caused the entire family to collapse and several of Evelin's brothers were killed. She happened to be studying abroad at that time, so she escaped.
Evelin, who was only seventeen years old, immediately gave up her studies and rushed home to take charge of the overall situation, stabilizing the crumbling family.
Her father, Claire, died of illness soon. He had many last words, one of which was that Evelin was not allowed to recognize Archer, a mixed-race child, and he would never be allowed to step into the Snow Mountain Manor.
Evelin had never met Lisa, her half-sister, and had no feelings for her. Instead, she hated her because of her, which eventually led to the family civil strife, so she agreed to her father's request.
In the next ten years, Evelin focused all her energy on reviving the family and completely forgot about Archer, her nephew.
The opportunity for change came at a family gathering this year. At the gathering, Evelin suddenly discovered that the Grant branch was already dying.
The only elder left was her uncle Henry, who was obsessed with art and ignored worldly affairs. Her only equal was her uncle's daughter Dinah.
There are only two girls left among the core members of the entire family. Even if she restores the family's glory, who will inherit the family?
It was impossible for the direct bloodline to get married, and the collateral bloodline was too far away to find anyone.
Under this situation, Evelin finally remembered Archer, her nephew. Although he was a mixed race, his mother, Lisa, was a pure blood, and the blood relationship was much stronger than the other collateral lines.
So, Evelin began to tell the housekeeper to find Archer's whereabouts. Although this went against her father's last words, Evelin had been in charge of the family for ten years and no longer cared much about her father's last words.
Her search for Archer was misunderstood by Lucian, Kyle and others, and they secretly planned to obstruct her, which led to what happened next.
After taking Archer, who was Xu Cheng, back to the manor, Evelin was not in a hurry to acknowledge this nephew.
On the one hand, he had to observe his character and temperament. On the other hand, because of the civil strife caused by his mother Lisa, Evelin felt a little disgusted with this nephew.
That's why Evelin acted so contradictory after bringing Xu Cheng back, obviously tolerant but indifferent.
After listening to Evelin's story, Xu Cheng realized that there were so many reasons behind it. It was indeed a big family, and the entanglements of love and hate were much more exciting than those of ordinary families.
The brothers Claire and Michael are just mentally ill. As the eldest brother, he steals his younger brother's girlfriend, but as the younger brother, he falls in love with his daughter.
After sorting out the relationship between the characters, Xu Cheng looked at Evelin: "Since you hate the trouble caused by Lisa, why do you still admit my identity now?"
Evelin said calmly: "If you don't recognize your identity, you will die."
In that battle more than ten days ago, Xu Cheng shot Kyle in the head and hit Lucien in the waist, causing Lucien to bleed to death from behind.
According to the laws of the Violet family, any collateral member who dares to kill a direct member, no matter what the reason, will be sentenced to death without exception.
Xu Cheng was not only a collateral member, but also a mixed race. He also killed two important direct members in a row. This was a heinous crime. Shooting him for ten minutes in a row was not excessive.
Since he did this to rescue Evelin and Dinah, his sentence could be reduced to only one minute of shooting.
In order to save Xu Cheng's life, Evelin had to announce his identity to the public and officially recognize this nephew.
This involves another law of the Violet family - the law of self-defense between the direct line and the direct line.
If Xu Cheng is a direct blood descendant, then his killing of Kyle and Lucien is self-defense and will not be punished.
But Xu Cheng is a lower level mixed blood than the collateral line, and everyone can tell that he is not a direct line.
However, his mother is pure-blood Lisa, which involves another rule of the Violet family, the concept of pseudo-lineage.
A direct line does not suddenly become a collateral line. If a direct blood descendant and a collateral line give birth to a child, the child is still considered a direct line, but the status is lower than that of a true direct line.
If this child gives birth to a child with a collateral line again, he will completely become a collateral line. However, if he can find a direct line to marry and have children, he will still be counted as a direct line.
Evelin used this concept of pseudo-straight lineage to defend Xu Cheng's innocence. To this end, she even took the initiative to expose the scandal that the family had covered up for many years.
Of course, the whole process is not that simple, and it must involve a lot of exchange of interests. After all, the mother of Xu Cheng's body is Lisa, but the father is not a collateral, but a complete outsider.
Evelin betrayed a lot of interests to protect Xu Cheng and even restored his direct status.
In addition to saving Xu Cheng's life, on the other hand, Evelin also realized that Lisa was not actually to blame for the family's tragedy.
Neither Melissa nor Lisa could resist their fate. The real cause of the family strife was the entanglement between her father and uncle.
After listening to the explanation, Xu Cheng finally understood why these maids and guards all respected him so much when he woke up.
They discriminated against Xu Cheng simply because he was a lower-level mixed-race than the collateral line. Now Xu Cheng has transformed into a direct line. Although he is lower than the real direct line, he is the savior of Evelin and Dinah. , and is the only male core member of Grant's group.
At least in Snow Mountain Manor, his status has been turned upside down, enough for the servants to look up to him.
Not to mention that he also mastered powerful force to protect two women under the siege of boxing champion Hunter and hundreds of guards, and finally killed boxing champion Hunter and dozens of guards. This horrific record has long been known to the entire Violet family. widely circulated in China.
After Xu Cheng thoroughly sorted out the current situation, he found that the start of the second phase of his mission was countless times better than the first phase.
At the beginning of the first stage, he was seriously injured and lying in a small shabby house waiting for death. He was still a mixed-race bastard at the bottom of the contempt chain, and there were enemies watching him outside.
At the beginning of the second stage, he is already a direct blood descendant that everyone respects, the savior of the patriarch candidate, a core family member, and everyone knows his strength and prestige.
However, the treatment in the second phase of the mission was entirely the result of his hard work in the first phase, and was not a result of the conscience of the dog management.
Evelin was still telling what happened after Xu Cheng fell into coma. Wayne, whose leg was broken by Xu Cheng, had been sentenced to death. No one in his immediate family could tolerate such a servant who betrayed his master, and his whole family was also taken away. Property, drive it out to fend for itself.
As for Kyle and Lucian, their property and net worth were all taken over by Evelyn. These were her trophies, and it would be useless even if other direct blood descendants were jealous.
"I went to see Michael in the dungeon."
Evelin suddenly said that she had no family ties to this uncle for a long time, so she called him by his first name: "I exchanged some family secrets from him on the condition of recognizing your identity. He asked me to take good care of you. He donated all his private properties to you, and then committed suicide. His body has not been buried yet, so you can go see him."
Xu Cheng felt a little sad. This Michael was indeed an affectionate man. He loved Melissa deeply, loved her daughter, and even her grandson loved her.
When Evelin saw that Xu Cheng was silent, she thought he was feeling sad, so she changed the subject: "Do you still think that mixed blood is stronger than pure blood?"
Xu Cheng raised his head and glanced at her: "Without me being a mixed race, you two sisters would have been made into RBQs long ago. Do you still need to question who is stronger?"
Evelin didn't know what RBQ meant, but she could tell it wasn't a good word.
She took on the posture of elders, frowned and lectured: "Dina and I are your aunts, you should correct your attitude and don't speak nonsense. Also, you are now a direct blood descendant, so you are not allowed to say anything about mixed blood." Damn words like strong, anyone who mentions your mixed-race status is disrespectful to you, do you understand?!"
Evelin acted very sternly, but this kind of sternness was what one should expect when getting close to an elder, instead of completely ignoring him like before.
Xu Cheng had no interest in arguing about bloodline with Evelin, he just ran away after completing the task, no matter whether she was pure blood or mixed blood.
"What are you going to do with me next?"
Seeing that Xu Cheng still refused to call her aunt, Evelin was a little dissatisfied.
But considering Xu Cheng's upbringing and personality, she didn't force it and could just correct it slowly in the future.
