The Shrewd Existence Chapter 4

After asking others, grandma found out that the two words on the note read "Ethan Yu". From then on, grandma made a living by farming hard and raised him with great difficulty.

Ethan Yu is very ambitious and has studied well since he was a child. He originally had a bright future, and now he should also be able to swim on the university campus. However, his grandma was seriously ill and he had to give up his original studies. As a sophomore, he started studying early. The school became independent.

Because of his status as an Omega, he can't find a suitable job. He doesn't like those who want him, and those who like him don't want him.

Ethan Yu was in a lot of tangles. Just when he decided to commit himself to a special place, the missing person notice appeared in front of him like a pie in the sky.

Ethan Yu was not sure if it was him at first, but the heart-shaped birthmark mentioned in it...

After repeated confirmations, Ethan Yu found the police who issued a missing person notice. The police took him to find his biological parents, and then he and his father went to the hospital for a paternity test.

Something unexpected always happens suddenly.

Ethan Yu's parents, who had abandoned him for nearly twenty years, had been looking for him, and he was found.

However, there is very bad news that his mother has passed away.

His father, who was related to him by blood, told him that his mother suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to him. After losing herself due to an accident, her mother's illness became more serious and she eventually died.

Later, Ethan Yu went downstairs again.

The living room downstairs was bustling with activity.

His half-sister was sitting upright in front of the piano placed by the floor-to-ceiling window, her hands jumping on the black and white keys, and each sweet and vivid note popped out of it.

His biological father, David Shen, was sitting on the sofa, staring at his daughter kindly, with a proud smile on his face.

Ethan Yu walked downstairs slowly on the handrail of the stairs, walked to his father, bent down and said hello: "Dad, you are back."

The beating notes stopped the moment Ethan Yu made a sound. The girl looked back and saw him, then stood up and walked to sit next to her father.

"Dad, how was the performance I just played? Did it sound good?"

Ethan Yu's father ignored his greetings and turned to comfort his daughter:

"Lily plays the piano very well. It's not in vain that I spend a lot of money to hire a teacher for you."

The very favored girl rested her head gently on her father's shoulder, but her face was dark and she gave a mocking smile to the boy.

She thought that by doing this, she could force Ethan Yu back to where he came from, but the girl's idea was too simple, and she had no idea what kind of person she was fighting against.

Ethan Yu smiled faintly, completely ignoring the girl's existence and continuing to talk to her father.

"Dad, Aunt Grace said you have something to discuss with me?"

The father patted the girl on the shoulder, then stood up and said to Ethan Yu, "Follow me to the study."

Ten minutes later, the two of them hugged each other lovingly and went downstairs.

Aunt Grace, who had just prepared a meal from the kitchen and brought it out, looked at the scene in front of her and winked at her husband. Seeing her husband's confident nod, she knew that the matter was done.

A smile suddenly appeared on her face and she walked to the boy's side, "Lele, sit here and eat, next to your dad."

The girl also wanted to be close to her father, but when she was about to stand up, her mother held her thigh down.

"Mom..." The girl looked at her mother aggrievedly.

Aunt Grace first glanced at her husband and the boy, then whispered something into the girl's ear, and then saw the girl quiet down for a moment.

After eating, the family went back to their bedrooms.

Ethan Yu sat on the bed, thinking about what his father had just said to him in the study.

"Lele, you just came back. You don't know the situation at home. It's hard to make money now."

"It's not a bad thing that you're married. The Fu family has a great business. If you tell others about it when the time comes, maybe the grandma who raised you can get better treatment."

"Of course, dad doesn't mean that I won't be willing to pay for you. After all, I have raised you for nearly twenty years. I will definitely help you until your grandma is cured, but...our family's current situation The situation is really not conducive to some big expenses."

"Besides, Lele, this marriage...Dad, let me tell you the truth. This marriage was agreed upon when you were still in your mother's womb, so we have no choice. It's not in our hands either."

...

After all, this marriage must be done.

Moreover, things are definitely not as simple as they seem. Since his family has a great career, he must have promised something to the Shen family, otherwise the Shen family would not have issued a missing person notice to look for him for two years. And the son who was finally found has not gotten along well with the whole family. No matter it is his father, stepmother, or anyone else, he will be forced to marry.

However, if grandma can be cured...

Ethan Yu was briefly wavering, and this uncertain factor was...

It's because the person he wants to marry is the marshal of the empire. He is rumored to be the youngest marshal in the history of the empire. He has accomplished countless great achievements and is a legend in the empire.

He was loved by all, but also feared.

the next day.

When Ethan Yu came back from work during the day, he saw the living room full of people as soon as he entered the door, all of them soldiers in military uniforms.

Ethan Yu subconsciously reached out and touched the glands on the back of his neck. Only then did he realize that he had not put on a pheromone isolation patch. He looked a little flustered. He didn't know whether the soldiers in the living room were Alphas or Betas. If it was the former, he was undoubtedly The sheep enters the wolf's den.

The man who was surrounded by people on the sofa in the middle had been staring at him as sharp as an eagle when he entered from Ethan Yu.

The man caught Ethan Yu's small gesture of stroking the back of his neck. His resolute face showed a warm smile that was very inconsistent with his appearance. It was like an oasis that appeared in time when he was in the desert. It made people yearn for it, make people heart-throb, and make them laugh. People are blurry.
