After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

Lin Xu looked at the wound on his face curiously. The corner of his mouth was torn and bruised. It didn't look like it was caused by a knock, but more like he was beaten.

Xie Changyan's eyes flashed, and the place where her gaze touched felt slightly hot.

He opened his thin lips and was about to speak when he saw Lin Xu's slender white fingers reaching out to his wound.

Xie Changyan's brown eyes gradually became darker. He only needed to move his body slightly to avoid her fingers, but his body froze in place...

"Oh, sorry." Lin Xu was the first to react. Just when she was about to touch him, she quickly withdrew her hand.

She picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip to hide her embarrassment.

Just now, she almost mistook Xie Changyan for her husband.

He also touches people.

What if someone calls the police?

Xie Changyan concealed the emotions in his eyes, his expression returned to normal, the corners of his lips raised with a smile, he leaned back in his chair and raised his hand to the waitress in a casual manner, asking her to refill his cup of coffee.

Then he asked Lin Xu casually, "Ms. Lin seems to be very familiar with Mr. Ji?"

"Yes." Lin Xu said as a matter of course.

"Mr. Ji seems to care about Miss Lin very much, not like an ordinary friend." He said casually.

"He and I..." Lin Xu thought about it and suddenly didn't know how to describe their relationship to others.

The atmosphere of thinking was silent for a long time, so long that Xie Changyan thought she would not answer, she opened her mouth and said, "We are family."

The mother-child relationship is also a family relationship, and this statement is very appropriate.

Thinking of Ji Tingyang's anger last night and that Lin Xu had mentioned before that she was married, the smile on Xie Changyan's lips faded a little.

I had heard before that Ji Tingyang had a beloved canary in his villa.

It turned out to be the case.

He tore open the syrup and stirred the newly served coffee with a casual and indifferent expression, but the aura he exuded added a sense of distance from her. "Next time I meet President Ji, I will say to him..."

"Do you like to put half syrup in your coffee?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Xu's surprised tone, and she looked at his coffee, as if she had discovered something that surprised and happy her.

Xie Changyan caught the key words in her words.

and also?

Who else is like him?

Ji Tingyang?

Lin Xu was still asking excitedly, "Will you go for barbecue? Do you like girls with long hair or short hair? What kind of music do you like? Do you have any hobbies..."

It seemed as if she was looking for something in common with him.

Xie Changyan looked calm, but he was upset in his heart.

……

Even during the Spring Festival, Ji Zeqiu was still busy, flying to various places to catch up on announcements.

And suddenly, some evil spirit possessed his younger sister. She said she wanted to go back to school to work hard during the New Year, which resulted in Ji Tingyang failing to successfully call her back home.

In the end, Lin Xu was unable to have the New Year's Eve dinner that the whole family had hoped for.

The Spring Festival passed like this.

After Ji Zeqiu finished work, the first thing he did after getting off the plane was to rush back to his apartment.

Although Lin Xu had been sending him messages during this period and the two had communicated, for some reason, thinking that Lin Xu was at home, he still couldn't wait to rush to the apartment.

wrong.

He was not rushing back to see Lin Xu.

He was just too tired after working for so long and wanted to go home and rest early!

That's right!

Ji Zeqiu thought so, suppressed the excitement in his heart, pretended to be calm and pushed the door open.

However, after seeing Wen Li in the room, he was stunned for a while, "Why are you here?"

As he said this, he looked around the room again, but did not see Lin Xu.

"I returned home after the first day of the Lunar New Year," Wen Li explained.

Originally, her parents were angry because she had stopped contacting Ji Tingyang and lost such a big cash cow, but they stopped being angry until Ji Zeqiu found a new job for his father.

During the days when she was back home for the New Year, her parents had been trying to figure out the relationship between her and Ji Zeqiu, asking her not to lose another rich man.

"These two men are so rich, why do they have to hang themselves on that poor student?!" They were furious and wanted her to make more money for the family.

Wen Li was fed up with what she heard, so she left home before the Spring Festival was over and came to live here.

After hearing her words, Ji Zeqiu realized that it was he who asked Wen Li to move here.

I told her everything, including the password to the apartment, so it's not surprising that she's here.

It’s just that I haven’t thought about her during this period of time and actually forgot about this matter.

Lin Xu doesn't like Wen Li, so of course he won't come to the apartment to live with her.

Ji Zeqiu's little expectation before going home suddenly disappeared. He responded faintly and pushed his suitcase into the door.

Then he secretly glanced at Wen Li, feeling a little conflicted.

If Wen Li continues to live here, will Lin Xu never come back?

So should he let Wen Li leave?

Just when he was hesitant, Wen Li spoke first, "Ze Qiu, I plan to move back to school today."

"Ah?" Ji Zeqiu's eyes lit up for a moment, and he immediately said, "Are you leaving now? Do you have a lot of luggage? Do you want me to help you move it?"

The inquiry seemed very gentle and considerate, but why did Wen Li feel it sound strange, as if she was impatient?

She thought Ji Zeqiu would try to persuade her to stay, but in the end he said nothing.

Wen Li was stunned for a moment, "No, no need, I can move it myself."

She came in a hurry, so she didn't have much luggage and had packed it long ago.

"Thank you for taking me in during this time. I..."

"You're welcome. I'll take you downstairs."

Before Wen Li could finish her words, Ji Zeqiu took her suitcase and pulled her out without saying a word.

Wen Li: “…”

After watching Wen Li get into a taxi and leave, Ji Zeqiu did not return to the apartment, but drove directly to the Ji family villa.

Halfway through the journey, he became conflicted again.

How could he be so anxious to find Lin Xu without any reserve?

Another little man in his head said that Lin Xu had already promised him that she would go with him, so of course he couldn't let her continue to live in Ji's house.

Otherwise, how could he take revenge on Ji Tingyang?

That's right!

Thinking of this, he stepped on the accelerator even harder.

Arrive at the villa.

Ji Zeqiu pretended to be calm and searched secretly around the villa but couldn't find Lin Xu.

Just as I was about to go over and ask the housekeeper, my attention was drawn to the empty swimming pool in the backyard.

Last time I was setting off fireworks in the backyard on New Year’s Eve, I didn’t notice anything unusual about the swimming pool.

"Housekeeper, why is the water in this swimming pool drained?"

"Well, last time the young master fell into the swimming pool and nearly drowned, Miss Lin was very scared for a while, so she asked us to drain all the water. Later, the young master didn't let us fill it up again, so we just left it like that."
