Chapter 5 Swallow, is that you, Swallow?
It must be a special fate that brought us together as a family again.
That night, lying on his large bed, Lin Zhihao's hands trembled as he tapped his phone to send a message. Meanwhile, He Manman, hearing the notification sound, was about to pick up her phone when her manager stopped her with a look.
"He Manman, He Manman, besides your Weibo side account, is there anything else you're hiding from me?" Manager Zhang Nick asked, pointing at He Manman with his delicate pinky finger.
"Heh...hehehe, that's all, Brother Zhang," He Manman replied.
In fact, you only realize this after experiencing it firsthand. Although He Manman in the book debuted as a child star, her career had already begun to decline at that time. Fortunately, she still had some die-hard fans who continued to follow her.
As a member of a collateral branch of the He family, He Manman gained attention a few years ago due to her status as a child star, attracting the attention of many people, including members of the main branch of the He family.
Wealthy families have always been averse to her entering the entertainment industry, so in recent years, her career has begun to decline due to suppression from the main branch of the He family.
"This is a one-time exception, but your secondary company needs to be monitored."
"it is good"
Lin Zhihao didn't receive a reply for a long time and thought she was overthinking it. Of course, how could that girl be her?
Lin Zhihao and He Manman grew up together in the welfare home. They have been through every important moment for each other. As the two most accomplished people in the Sunshine Welfare Home, they often give back to the welfare home.
When they were very young, He Manman was raised by a couple. Everyone thought that her suffering had finally come to an end, but they didn't know that the couple had psychological problems. They abused He Manman. In front of outsiders, they acted like honest people, but in private, they beat and kicked He Manman, leaving wounds on every private part of her body.
The orphanage regularly interviews the adopted children, and no one knew about the abuse He Manman suffered at home.
It was Lin Zhihao who noticed something was wrong. At only fifteen years old, she went alone to rescue He Manman. From that moment on, Lin Zhihao became the most important family member in He Manman's heart.

Because of their last conversation, He Yifan didn't speak to Lin Zhihao for several days. Time always flies by in school life, and soon the last monthly exam before the end of the semester arrived.
After two days of intense exams, the school gave the students no time to relax.
All results were announced on the third day.
"Shen Zhihao!!!" Li Haiping roared at Lin Zhihao from his office. How could he have taught such a genius who could get a perfect score in physics but only a 6 in math?!
Lin Zhihao held her blank math answer sheet in her hand.
I thought to myself: Hmm, how can this not be considered progress?
"As your homeroom teacher and math teacher, I am deeply saddened. You can get near-perfect scores in other subjects, but you only got 6 points in math?? Do you have a problem with me?" Li Haiping said, slamming his hand on the table loudly.
Lin Zhihao frowned. "Leaving blank spaces is a unique kind of Chinese romance."
Li Haiping picked up a textbook and tapped Lin Zhihao on the head.
"There's an old Chinese saying, 'A beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love.' See if I'm not affectionate towards you, huh?" Lin Zhihao, who was being hit on the head by Li Haiping, dared not resist.
He just had a frown on his face.
Seeing Lin Zhihao's furrowed brows, Li Haiping's eyes even held a hint of grievance. "How could you treat me like this? I've put so much effort into you. Is this how you repay me? You really...you..."
Lin Zhihao: ? ? ? Is this ambiguous?
"Hahahaha, hey, Lao Li, you still need to work on your teaching skills. Not just anyone can teach someone to get a perfect score in physics!" the physics teacher laughed heartily.
Li Haiping: "..."
Lin Zhihao: Please stop talking.
The other teachers in the office were trying to suppress their laughter.
"Take all of these back and finish them," Li Haiping said, rummaging around and putting all sorts of practice questions into Lin Zhihao's hands.
Looking at the three-centimeter-thick stack of practice questions in her hand, Lin Zhihao felt ashamed.
"Teacher, I..."
"Alright, you can go now."
Lin Zhi was interrupted by Li Haiping before he could finish speaking.
Lin Zhihao: ? ? ? I'd like to ask you a question.
Lin Zhihao, holding the test paper, was stopped by He Yifan before she even reached the classroom door; "Let's talk."
On the tree-lined path, He Yifan asked, "What did you mean by what you said last time?"
"literal meaning."
So you're doubting me, right?
"What do you think?"
When Shen Zhihao returned to the Shen family as a child, she had a high fever and lost some of her memories.
Aside from knowing that an older brother took her home, she had forgotten everything else. The original Shen Zhihao might not have known that He Yifan was related to the human traffickers, but Lin Zhihao, who had read the book, did.
“Shen Zhihao, twelve years, twelve years! We’ve lived together for twelve years, and now you’re starting to suspect that I’m in cahoots with human traffickers? You’ve disappointed me so much.”
He Yifan was gambling. He gambled that Shen Zhihao had not regained her memory, that she was just testing him, or even that she had forgotten because so much time had passed.
Lin Zhihao didn't argue with He Yifan much, but just silently uttered a few names.
"Village of Cheap Women, Old Man Li, Aunt Wang"
"Enough! Lin Zhihao, I don't care whose words you've believed, the fact is I saved you back then. Our twelve years of relationship can't compare to other people's nonsense?"
Looking at He Yifan's expression, Lin Zhihao sneered inwardly. She would help Shen Zhihao get justice from He Yifan, but not now.
"Who, who on earth said those things to frame me? I am the big brother who will always protect you in this world. I repeated a year to be with you, don't you understand?"
Lin Zhihao scoffed, "You repeated two years because you were stupid when you were young. Don't try to pin all sorts of accusations on me."
He Yifan wanted to say something more, but Lin Zhihao immediately stopped him, "If you continue to cause trouble like this, I'm not sure if Mom and Dad will find out about this."
After hearing Lin Zhihao's words, He Yifan stopped talking, and Lin Zhihao turned and left, unaware of the unwilling look in He Yifan's eyes behind her.
Perhaps the two were too engrossed in their conversation to notice the figure eavesdropping behind the big locust tree. As Lin Zhihao left, the other person also silently retreated from behind the big locust tree.
