After the Secrets of the Passerby Were Leaked, He Was Cherished by the Entire Family of Antagonists-Chapter 117

Ning Xu experienced three major turning points in his life by the time he turned twenty.

The first was when he was eight years old, and his parents tragically passed away during a research expedition. In the blink of an eye, Ning Xu and his sister, Ning Xing, became orphans.

Fortunately, they received a substantial compensation sum, which sparked a competition among their relatives to claim custody of the siblings. In the end, their paternal aunt secured their guardianship.

Initially, people speculated that the aunt took them in only for the inheritance and compensation. Even Ning Xu and Ning Xing almost believed this. However, despite these doubts, they were too young to do anything but live anxiously under her care.

To their surprise, life with their aunt turned out to be far better than expected. She provided for them, cooked hearty meals, and even bought them new clothes during the holidays. Over time, Ning Xu and Ning Xing realized that their aunt had no ulterior motives and truly cared for them.

As the years passed, the siblings also learned more about their family’s past. They discovered that their father had distanced himself from their aunt due to her sexual orientation, but their aunt had never wanted to cut ties. This newfound understanding brought them closer to her, and they grew to appreciate her even more.

The second turning point came when Ning Xu was sixteen, during the rise of esports. At seventeen, with his exceptional gaming skills, he quickly gained a large online following and was soon recruited by a well-known team. After obtaining his aunt's approval, Ning Xu dropped out of school to join the youth training program.

He thought this would be the beginning of a new chapter in his life, but instead, he faced isolation and cold treatment within the team. This led to severe psychological issues, and eventually, the team demanded compensation for breaching his contract due to his undisclosed mental health problems. The combination of his isolation and the lawsuit left Ning Xu in a deep emotional crisis.

At his lowest point, with his sister studying abroad and his aunt also overseas, Ning Xu found himself with no one to turn to. It was during this period that he first met Huo Ze.

Ning Xu would never forget the day Huo Ze appeared at his door, dressed casually but soaked from the rain, offering him a spot on his team. From there, things moved quickly—before he knew it, Huo Ze had taken him to the hospital, and Ning Xu began a six-month treatment plan for his mental health.
