Chapter 269 Deep Sibling Affection

After everyone entered, Ning Xiuyang's gaze fell directly on Bai Xiaoji, who was standing alone in the corner, head down, looking like a defeated rooster.

At this moment, Bai Xiaoji was heartbroken and downcast, her eyes lowered, her heart filled with indescribable emotions, a complex and helpless feeling.

In particular, in this luxurious living room that spans over 100 square meters, any one of them could be considered a top-tier goddess. Countless 'simps' would be happy to give up ten years of their lives for them. They were all dressed to the nines and were showing off their figures to Ning Xiuyang, practically ready to strip off their clothes for him to admire.

Looking at herself, she was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, which made her feel somewhat out of place in the atmosphere, making her feel even more ashamed.

But to everyone's astonishment, Ning Xiuyang walked straight toward her.

Bai Xiaoji felt his approach, her body stiffened, and she lowered her head even further, not daring to look at him.

However, Ning Xiuyang did something that surprised everyone present.

He didn't blame her, nor did he tease her. Instead, he reached out and, with utmost naturalness and gentleness, took her hand.

Bai Xiaoji trembled and suddenly raised her head, meeting his deep and gentle eyes.

Ning Xiuyang didn't say anything, but simply took her hand and led her step by step to the center of the living room.

He walked up to all the women.

Under the enormous crystal chandelier, Ning Xiuyang, holding Bai Xiaoji's hand, stood in the center of everyone's sight.

Twenty stunningly beautiful women, some standing and some sitting, all focused their gazes on the two men, their eyes filled with surprise, curiosity, and inquiry.

Bai Xiaoji, in particular, became the focus of the entire event.

Among the many women present, most had already met Ning Xiuyang intimately, and the few who were meeting him for the first time or had not yet reached the final step had also fallen for him. However, for most of them, this was the first time they had met Bai Xiaoji.

She was pulled to the front of the stage by Ning Xiuyang, feeling the scrutinizing gazes from all directions. Her pretty face flushed red, her heart was filled with panic and confusion, and her palms were sweaty.

What the hell is this bastard trying to do?

Oh……

Do you want to embarrass her in front of so many people?

Shen Youyou, Zheng Yulu, and a few other clueless girls looked curiously at the cool and sassy older sister who had suddenly been led out by her brother, wondering about her identity.

Meanwhile, Shen Yourong, Cheng Qingxia, and You Jinyu, these meticulous women, all frowned. They could sense that Ning Xiuyang's next words would likely be very important.

Zhao Yihuan watched this scene with great interest, as if she were watching a wonderful drama about a wealthy family.

Only Wu Xingyao nervously clutched the hem of her clothes. She knew that Bai Xiaoji and Ning Xiuyang had an unusual relationship, but she never expected that Ning Xiuyang would use this method to push her in front of everyone.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ning Xiuyang slowly spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"I know that everyone here today probably has a lot of questions on their minds."

"For example, why did I call everyone here? What is my identity that makes all these beautiful ladies fall for me?"

"For example..." He glanced at Bai Xiaoji, who was so nervous that her body was stiff, held her hand tightly, and gave her a reassuring look.

"……who is she."

Ning Xiuyang took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over every woman present. His eyes, which had been lazy and casual just moments before, became incredibly serious, even... carrying a hint of vulnerability and sadness that no one else had ever seen before.

Before introducing her, I'd like to tell you a story about myself.

"A story... that I've never told any of you before."

Upon hearing this, all the women's hearts jumped; they realized that Ning Xiuyang was about to get down to business.

The living room fell silent instantly, with only his magnetic voice echoing in the air.

"Everyone probably thinks that I, Ning Xiuyang, am a rich second-generation born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and that I have everything by nature."

"But actually, that's not the case."

Ning Xiuyang's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile.

"My parents both died in an accident when I was very young."

boom!

These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the hearts of every woman!

What?!

Shen Youyou, Tang Wei, the Zheng sisters, and others all covered their mouths in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

They always thought Ning Xiuyang came from a wealthy family, but they never expected that he was actually... an orphan.

Shen Yourong, Rong Qing'e, You Jinyu and the others were also shocked. Their eyes as they looked at Ning Xiuyang were instantly filled with indescribable heartache and pity.

No wonder they had never heard him mention his family.

No wonder he is so young, yet he possesses a maturity and composure far beyond his peers.

It turns out that beneath his sunny and cheerful exterior lies such a tragic past!

At this moment, all the little emotions of jealousy and suspicion in the hearts of all the women vanished instantly, replaced by a strong maternal glow and a protective instinct.

All they wanted to do was hold this heartbreaking man tightly in their arms and comfort him.

Bai Xiaoji trembled all over, and her eyes instantly reddened.

This is Ning Xiuyang's deepest scar, one he never lets anyone touch. Today, however, he personally reopened it in front of so many people.

Ning Xiuyang ignored the shock of the crowd and continued to speak in a calm yet heartbreaking tone.

"After my parents passed away, I became an unwanted ball, kicked around by my relatives."

"Just when I thought I was going to be sent to an orphanage and struggle alone in this cold world..."

He turned his head and looked deeply at Bai Xiaoji with a gaze that contained endless gratitude and tenderness.

"It was she, and her parents, who took me in."

He raised their tightly clasped hands and solemnly introduced them to everyone.

"Her name is Bai Xiaoji. She's my older sister... I grew up with her naked since I was little."

"In my darkest and most desperate time, it was Sister Xiaoji who, like a ray of light, illuminated my world."

She would give me the only chicken leg in her bowl and eat a steamed bun herself.

"She would fight until she was bloodied and battered to protect me from being bullied by older kids."

"She would secretly use her allowance, which she herself wouldn't even spend, to buy me new clothes."

"All the expenses I paid for school, allowing me to grow up and reach adulthood, right up to this day..." Ning Xiuyang's voice trembled slightly.

"It was all thanks to Uncle Bai, Aunt Bai, and my sister who saved every penny they had to support me."

"Therefore, to me, Ning Xiuyang, they are not relatives, but they are closer than relatives."

"They gave me a second life; they have given me a second chance!"
