"Sister, today is the first day I entered school as a 3rd grade junior high school student. Don't you want to drive me?"
The words came out from the lips of a 15-year-old girl named Xia. Born in an upper middle-class family and also highly respected by many people.
"It's good if you don't come back here. America is a place that suits you." the voice of a man was Xia's older brother.
Her sister Xia was indeed her attitude like that. Always never thought Xia was around. The relationship between the two is also not familiar, it is very clear when the brother answered the request and his sister.
"Please, just this once, my brother dropped me off. I promise, I will obey you, brother," Xia promised.
Regardless of Xia, her brother left just like that after breakfast. Between Xia and her brother had different clans, all because they were not siblings. This Xia was the son of Chen's stepmother, the older brother of Xia, whose blood did not flow from Chen's father. Instead, Xia's mother had an affair with her father Chen's younger brother. That's why Chen never thought of Xia as his sister.
The look on the face of this teenager looks gloomy. It has become a daily food for him about his brother who is indifferent to him. Even so, Xia never gave up and kept trying to get love from her brother.
Xia's life was very good. His needs are always fulfilled, never feeling short of nothing but the affection of the family. Her mother died when she was 7 years old. Then his real father also died from arguing with his stepfather. The two killed each other and eventually between Xia, Chen, already did not stay together with the old man anymore.

"Xia!"
At school, Xia was loved by many. It doesn't look like one of them hates it. It was because they knew, who this Xia family was.
"Xia, I'm calling you," said a teenage girl patting Xia on the shoulder.
That breathless breath made Xia slightly step back. Wei Mian was the name of the teenage girl. "Eh, I'm sorry" he said softly.
"What did you call me?" xia asked with a look on her face that was still moody.
"What ka—eh? What's with your face? Why don't you look happy we're back in school?" wei Mian had not had time to say what he was about to say to Xia, instead he was wrongly focused on the look on his friend's face.
Without replying, Xia brushed Wei Mian's hand off and immediately entered her class. The curious We Mian kept urging Xia to talk. However, Xia still chose to shut up.
School is something Xia hates. This cheerful girl hates lessons, but really likes to meet her friends at school. It was able to make him forget for a moment about the tension at home when with his brother.
His encounter with a man who will change his life begins with the wedding invitation of Chen's client, his stepbrother Xia. That night when dinner together, for the first time also the brother invited Xia to talk long.
"There will be a wedding. I want you to come with me because the family of my biological parents are also there" Chen said, still in a carefree tone.
"Don't ask much, the dress will arrive tomorrow morning. Tomorrow night the show is held. Remember, don't behave as casually as what you do in your daily life" Chen continued.
"My family has a different background than ours. Not only the background is different, even the culture and everything about his life is different. So, don't make a tantrum. Do you understand?" firmly Chen, without staring at Xia.
Instead of replying with glee, Xia gaped wide. He still did not expect if his brother asked him to talk that long.
"Xia, are you listening to me? You're not deaf, are you?" chen's question broke Xia's daydream.
"L-yes, I understand, sis," Xia replied, his voice trembling.

In the room, Xia was still thinking hard about who the biological family of her stepbrother was. He also just found out if his brother is not the biological child of the Wang family.
"If you're not Dad's son, then why did you get here? Is your sister adopted? But how is it possible ... Sean said that his brother's biological family is a Muslim, but how could it be adopted by that family ...."
"Uh, I don't care about any of that. To be sure, my brother wants to take me to an important event, especially to the wedding of his biological family. That's the sign, brother must have recognized me as a sister,"
"True, brother already recognized me as his sister. I can't mess things up, or brother will get mad at me and send me to America again,"
That night, Xia tried to sleep so that the night soon changed. Unfortunately, it's been two hours more Xia just flip through his body alone. So happy, Xia could not sleep.
"Jeez .. Why can't I sleep!" the upset.
"Come eyes, I have to sleep. If you don't sleep, I can flash it until you get out of .. uh, can blind me,"
"No, no, no, I have to sleep, I have to sleep,"
Xia covered his entire body to the face using his blanket. But after the fifth minute, the teenager again opened his blanket with a gasp of breath. "I can die, I can't breathe!"
"How do I get to sleep?"
"Oh, I remember. Spongebob movie where he can't sleep, which is drinking warm milk. Okay, we're going to the kitchen!"
Xia and her brother's room was next to each other. Seeing her brother's room door alone, Xia can be happy to be excited considering tomorrow he wants to be invited to an important event. When going down to the kitchen, have to pass through Chen's work space first. Xia saw that the room had its doors open and the lights were still on.
"Is sister not asleep? Huft, it's a pity that he has to work overtime" Xia murmured.
Xia overheard a conversation between her brother and her assistant.
"Sir, are you sure you're going to take Miss Xia to your birth family event?" ask Sean.
"I have to take her. Although I'm not sure, actually" Chen replied.
"What made you take her?" ask Sean again.
Chen remained silent. No one knows why he took Xia to the important event. But Chen just said that Sean didn't have to worry about him.
"I believe in Xia, he can definitely keep the trust I gave him. You just prepare everything tomorrow for him," Chen said firmly.
"Good, Sir."
Xia heard that and she felt moved because her brother gave her trust. He muttered in his heart, if he could definitely keep his brother's trust.
