Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Bay.
Late at night, Song Fuxue crawled out of the sea, shivering from the cold.
She had been the Third Miss of the Song Family on Hong Kong Island. For the first twenty years of her life, everything had gone smoothly, and she had never endured any real hardship.
But this day had been nothing but misfortune.
Early that morning, the old master had informed her that she was a mistakenly raised fake heiress of the Song Family and no longer had the right to stay.
Before she could even process the shocking news, she had already been driven out.
The old master had directly frozen her bank accounts.
Her father, mother, and older sister were all overseas and unreachable.
So Song Fuxue thought of her cousin in Beijing, who had always doted on her, and decided to go there to rely on him.
However, before she could even reach the airport, she encountered a kidnapping halfway there.
Gang conflicts on Hong Kong Island had always been severe, and kidnappers were ruthless, killing without hesitation.
Song Fuxue had no choice but to seize an opportunity and jump into the sea to survive.
The good news was that she had miraculously lived.
The bad news was that she was lost, her phone was gone, and she had no money at all.
The worse news was that thunder roared, and rain began to pour from the night sky.
Song Fuxue told herself not to panic.
She looked around. Not far from the beach, there was a winding mountain road, where faint lights could be seen.
Perhaps someone or a vehicle would pass by.
With that thought, she endured the pain all over her body and walked toward the mountain road.
At this point, her luxury-brand dress was already in tatters, her shoes long washed away by the sea, and her delicate skin was covered in wounds of all sizes.
There was no trace left of a wealthy young lady.
But Song Fuxue could not care less.
All she could think about was contacting Older Brother as soon as she was rescued.
Before heading to the airport, she had already spoken with Older Brother on the phone. He had promised to personally pick her up at the airport.
If she failed to show up and could not be contacted, Older Brother would definitely worry.
Thinking of this, Song Fuxue quickened her pace and finally reached the mountain road.
The rain grew heavier, and fog spread everywhere.
Visibility on the mountain road dropped to its lowest.
Song Fuxue could no longer see anything, and fear crept into her heart.
Just then, she heard the sound of an engine.
Looking up, she saw a car rushing toward her.
She had no time to dodge and was knocked to the ground, her head slamming heavily against it.
…
“Oh no, I think we hit someone!”
“At this hour, on a remote mountain road—how could there be anyone? Could it be a ghost?”
“Get out of here! What ghost? Hurry and save her!”
“It’s a young woman! Go inform President Pei!”
…
A flurry of chaotic voices sounded around her.
The cold rain pattered against her body.
Song Fuxue was in so much pain that she was on the verge of losing all sensation.
In her hazy state, she saw a tall man in a suit walking toward her.
His figure, his profile, his aura—all were extremely similar to Older Brother.
Was it Older Brother?
Had Older Brother come?
The man’s face gradually overlapped with that of Older Brother.
Then, Song Fuxue fell into unconsciousness, losing all awareness…
One week later.
Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Bay Private Estate.
Pei Shangyue sat in the study, flipping through documents while listening to his assistant’s report.
“President Pei, we haven’t been able to find out who that young lady we hit is.”
“We’ve checked all nearby surveillance and dashcam footage—everything that could be checked—but found nothing.”
“It’s as if she appeared out of thin air in the middle of the night, like a fairy!”
Hearing this, Pei Shangyue looked up at his assistant.
The assistant gave an embarrassed smile.
“Ahem… these past few days, the maids have been saying that the girl is extremely beautiful—so beautiful she looks like a fairy descending from television…”
“I guess I just picked it up and said it without thinking…”
Pei Shangyue withdrew his gaze and removed his glasses. “How are her injuries?”
“Quite serious. She has wounds all over her body, and her head suffered a heavy impact. She’s been unconscious for several days.”
“But the doctors can’t say when she’ll wake up or what kind of aftereffects there might be.”
Pei Shangyue pondered for a moment. “Go invite the top group of doctors. Since it was a driver of the Pei Family who hit her, we must take full responsibility.”
“Yes, President Pei.”
Just as the assistant acknowledged the order, a maid rushed in hurriedly.
“Mr. Pei, Assistant Xu, that fairy has woken up!”
“That’s great news! President Pei, shall we go take a look?”
Pei Shangyue set down the documents, stood up, and walked toward the hospital room.
This estate had originally been a recuperation residence for the Pei Family on Hong Kong Island, fully equipped with medical facilities.
Thus, after the accident, Song Fuxue had received immediate treatment.
At this moment, Song Fuxue had already opened her eyes and was staring blankly out the window.
Sunlight fell across her profile. Her skin was fair and luminous, her features flawless and delicate—she looked like a person from a painting.
Pei Shangyue watched her for a moment.
The maid hesitated before speaking, “Mr. Pei, after this young lady woke up, we discovered that she has lost her memory.”
“Lost her memory?”
“Yes. We’ve asked her. She doesn’t know how she ended up in Kowloon Bay, and she doesn’t even remember her own name.”
Pei Shangyue turned to his assistant. “Call the doctors over immediately.”
“Yes, President Pei!”
The assistant hurried to make the call.
Pei Shangyue then walked toward Song Fuxue.
The person who had been staring out the window heard the movement and turned her head.
In the next moment, a bright, crystalline light appeared in her confused eyes.
She suddenly reached out both arms and threw herself toward Pei Shangyue, hugging him tightly.
“Older Brother!”
The girl in his arms nuzzled against him affectionately, her soft fragrance wrapping around him as well.
For the first time, a clear look of astonishment appeared on Pei Shangyue’s usually calm and composed face…
