Rarely affectionate

When the spring was cold that year, the Yuan family experienced the most turbulent power transfer more than ten years ago.

Yuan Cheng was bitten by a rare poisonous snake when he went out to sea to pick up his eldest son back to Hong Kong.Although the doctor arrived by boat within two hours and brought life-saving serum, Yuan Cheng was still affected by the neurotoxin. After returning to Hong Kong, he was immediately sent to the ICU, and he is still in a coma.

All the tabloid reporters in Hong Kong know that Yuan Cheng has been wandering between his two sons for more than ten years, and has never written a will.However, as a century-old underworld family, the Yuan family naturally has its own crisis management system—under the intervention of Yuan Cheng's confidantes, the board of directors was forced to accept Yuan Cheng's eldest son, Yuan Zou, as the temporary acting chairman.

The young master of the Yuan family did not participate in the voting of the board of directors at all.After returning to Hong Kong from Yuancheng, he has been guarding in front of his father's hospital bed, not eating, drinking or talking, and sitting on the edge of his father's bed for a short while when he was sleepy, and would be awakened immediately by any movement.Every time he wakes up, his first reaction is to immediately go to see his father, to see if Yuan Cheng is still awake and breathing.

Facing his younger brother's panicked and haggard eyes with no face, Yuan Xiao almost knelt down and begged Lang Bai to eat something and get a good night's sleep.But no matter how much he begged, Lang Bai remained silent without saying a word, as if the real person had died.

In the end, Yuan Xiao could only ask someone to set up another bed in the ICU for his younger brother to sleep in; then he called a strong nurse to give Lang Bai regular nutritional injections every day.

If Yuan Jue could not be brought down by a single Langbai, then Yuan Cheng's certificate of transfer of property rights would be enough for Yuan Jui to open the window and jump off the 28th floor of the group building.All the property rights listed in the transfer letter, including a smuggling route running through the entire Pacific Ocean and an incalculably worth 50.00% of the shares, made all the elders of the Yuan family scream like they were hit by high-voltage electricity. Break Yuan Xiao's neck.

"I signed the transfer of property rights this afternoon. When I was going home this evening, a car without a license plate suddenly lost control and ran into me at a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour. If it wasn't for the bodyguards who broke through immediately As for the front tires of that car, I am no longer alive now." Yuan Xiao pulled the chair closer, almost sitting next to his brother, "Abai, I took such a big risk to do this If you fall down with your father, wouldn't all the efforts your brother and I have made now be in vain?"

Lang Bai didn't respond at all, and quietly lowered his eyes.The light sprinkled on his long, curved eyelashes, flickering almost invisible.The pale blue blood vessels on the porcelain-white skin of his cheeks melted into the orange halo like warm jade.

Yuan Xiao sighed for a long time, and finally struggled a bit: "Abai, your friend Rosethorn is still waiting for you to deal with it."

Lang Bai moved slightly for a while, turned his head, stared at his elder brother calmly like water, and asked, "Is Qi Xiaguo dead?"

Yuan Xiao took a breath, stood up abruptly and strode out of the ICU.

Outside, Zhou Zhengrong, Wang Yi and others were waiting respectfully. When they saw him coming out, they immediately stepped forward and said, "Where is the young master?"

Yuan Xiao walked forward without looking back: "Go to Qi Xiaguo."

As soon as Qi Xiaguo arrived in Hong Kong, he was imprisoned in a secret place, and before he could be tortured, he voluntarily admitted that he set a snake in an attempt to murder Lang Bai.

Qi Xiaguo grew up with Yuan Zhui, but it is known that he received the salary of the Wang family.The influence of the Wang family has penetrated deeply around Yuan Zou. Not long after Qi Xiaguo was imprisoned, someone persuaded Yuan Zou in a roundabout way: "He is also doing this for you to ascend the throne smoothly. His original intention is to eradicate the young master. Who knew that he accidentally injured Mr. Yuan? He I have been by your side for so many years, after all, there is no credit but hard work..."

After hearing this, Yuan Xiao only sneered, but said nothing.After two or three days when more people said this, he wrote down all the names of these people on a piece of paper, and then threw the piece of paper to Zhou Zhengrong: "I don't care what method you use, just kill them!" It doesn't matter if you are demoted, in short, I don't want to see these people in Yuan's house again."

From then on, Yuan Xiao's ears were pure, and no one dared to intercede for Qi Xia.

Yuan Xiao pushed open the heavy iron door, and the room was dark and narrow. A ray of dim light came through the iron window, and dust slowly floated in the air.Qi Xiaguo was tied behind his back to the chair, and within a few days he lost a lot of weight, almost completely changing himself.

Yuan Xiao came over, stood two steps away from him, looked at him coldly and said, "My father is still awake."

"I thought you would thank me." Qi Xiaguo said, his voice extremely hoarse: "If it wasn't for me, you would be nothing when you returned to Hong Kong. That illegitimate child is still on your head."

"The illegitimate child you mentioned is my biological brother, and the one lying unconscious on the hospital bed is my biological father."

Qi Xiaguo laughed ironically: "Come on, I've been in Yuan's family for so many years, when have I ever seen a father who is kind and son filial, brother and friend respectful?"

Yuan Xiao stared at him silently, and after a long, long time, he shook his head lightly: "I should have told you earlier, everything that happened that night."

"What night?"

"On my father's birthday, the night Abai tied me to the surface of the sea. He took me to the deck with a gun in his hand. When I asked him if he was going to kill me, he said no, He was going to send me to live in rural America until the day he died. You know how shocked I was, I thought I had something wrong with my ears."

Yuan Xiao paused for a moment, and then said: "At that time, I had... planned to trick him over and kill him."

Qi Xiaguo was taken aback, his voice was full of disbelief: "I don't believe he is so soft-hearted!"

"It's not a matter of being soft-hearted or not. I was just shocked at the fact that he was unwilling to kill me in such a situation where he must win, so if he came to power and became the head of the Yuan family, he would not kill me either. "Yuan Xiao's voice gradually lowered: "...And I, if I had been in power at that time, I would have killed him without hesitation. I always thought that our two brothers hated each other exactly the same, who knows In the end, I realized that I was wrong."

Qi Xiaguo couldn't say a word for a long time, and only after a while did he laugh miserably: "The Wang family has planned for you for so many years, but in the end, it's not as good as your brother's one-time grace of not killing?"

Yuan Xiao looked at him coldly and asked, "Do you think I've been sleeping in Taiwan for so long without thinking about anything? How much benefit did the Wang family take from the Yuan family through my hand? For me not to get close to myself How many unspeakable things did my biological father, grandfather and uncle say in front of me? How many secret things did Wang Jiadong do back and forth so that my future children would have half of the royal blood? To put it bluntly, if I marry I gave birth to a young lady from the Wang family, and gave birth to a son whose mother is surnamed Wang, you don’t expect me to die early every day?!”

Qi Xiaguo choked for a moment, wanting to say something, but couldn't say a word.It took him a long time before he whispered unwillingly: "If you kill me, it means you have completely turned against the Wang family. Your grandfather and uncle..."

Yuan Zou looked down at him and said, "My surname is Yuan!"

Qi Xiaguo was stunned.

"It's a pity. All along, you have deliberately wanted me to forget this. In the end, even you yourself have forgotten the fact that my last name is Yuan."

Yuan Xiao took half a step back, pulled out the gun from his waist, and pointed it at Qi Xiaguo.

"The murder of the young master of the Yuan family caused serious injuries to the head of the Yuan family. According to the family rules, you should be cut into pieces and burned alive. For the sake of your hard work and no credit for more than ten years, I will leave you with Let me save you a whole body."

Qi Xiaguo stared at him motionlessly, his eyes seemed a little unbelievable, but after a long time, they finally turned into ashes: "Yuan Xiao, you..."

Yuan Xiao closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

A shot went off.

A week later, Yuan Xiao and the Wang family fell out completely.

Not long after, a strange rumor spread quietly within the group.Everywhere you can see people describing how old Mr. Yuan Xingzhuan and several elders colluded with Qi Xia's special assistant and conspired to kill Yuan Zong and the young master; How much money was stolen from the Yuan family, and how much welfare was deducted from the group, which caused major difficulties and troubles for the board of directors...

These rumors became more and more intense, and when the extent reached the point where Yuan Xiao felt it was serious enough, he finally made his first major decision since taking office: depriving Yuan Xingzhuan of its representative seat on the board of directors, And cancel Yuan Xingzhuan's qualification and dividend right to participate in the family's annual meeting from now on.

So far, the misfortune of the elders has been basically eliminated in the Yuan family.

Of course, Yuan Xiao also paid a heavy price. During this period of time, he even got used to being assassinated constantly.Almost all the people who were usually close to him were betrayed, and overnight he was alone, as if his hands and feet had been cut off, and he was alone with nowhere to focus.

Although sitting in the highest position, he was faced with an unprecedented situation of being alone and empty.

"What do you want to do if my father can't wake up?" When he came to the ICU again, Yuan Xiao stood in front of Lang Bai, looking down at Lang Bai's beautiful and cold profile.In just half a month, the vitality was quickly drained from his body. He was pale, thin, and silent, his whole chin was thin and pointed, and even his wrists were protruding with fragile and branched bones.

"Father left you an incomparably rich property, enough to keep you rich and safe for the rest of your life, but you actually wanted to kill yourself so that all his painstaking efforts would be in vain? If you knew that you would be like today, your father would not have It’s time to save you! Anyway, you don’t want to live anymore!”

Lang Bai sat silently beside the hospital bed without saying a word, his eyes seemed to fall on a certain point floating in the void.

"What are you looking at! Do you think you can feel at ease when you look at your father like this?! The more you look at him, the more uncomfortable you are! If I were my father, I would want to beat you away now!" Yuan Xiao stepped forward fiercely, and pulled Lang Bai up. , the force was so great that even the blanket on the hospital bed was distorted, "Follow me!"

Lang Bai struggled violently twice, and then was dragged out of the ICU by Yuan Xiao half-dragging and half-holding him forcefully.Lang Bai hadn't touched a grain of rice for a few days, so of course he didn't put much effort into it. When Yuan Zai pushed him out of the ward, he even had one free hand to close the door behind him.

As soon as he let go, Lang Bai rushed to the door, his voice hoarse and angry: "Let me in!"

Yuan Xiao grabbed his shoulder, and then slapped him mercilessly.

--Snapped!

Lang Bai was beaten and fell down on the bench in the corridor, and he didn't get up for a long time.

"You know that you regret it now. Did you ever think about how sad your father was when you faked your death? He couldn't wait to jump into the sea to accompany you! The person he loves the most in his life is you! If you are even a little bit bad, he can't wait ten times He will suffer for you a hundred times, how sad will he be if he sees you sleepless for days?!"

Lang Bai covered his face and half-lyed on the bench, unable to see his expression clearly.

"Abai, brother, I beg you, you have to take good care of yourself until your father wakes up, and let him see you healthy and safe when he opens his eyes, otherwise, how can you embarrass him? Are you telling him , did he save you by mistake? Father is willing to die for you, he loves you so much, do you have the heart to make him sad again?!"

Yuan Zhen felt that his eyes were a little damp. He looked at Lang Bai's motionless appearance, and felt a little angry and uncomfortable. After a while, he took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the moisture in his eyes, "Come on, let's go to the kitchen to get some Bring some food for the young master, something lighter."

Zhou Zhengrong didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and immediately slipped away without saying a word.Within a few minutes, he came up with a bowl of fish porridge, and said in a low voice: "Master, the kitchen can't tell you what to eat, and there aren't many things. I'll cook it and send it over later."

Yuan Xiao glanced at it and said, "That's fine too." Then he took the porridge bowl, sat next to Lang Bai, forcibly picked up his younger brother, scooped up the porridge with a spoon, and brought it to Lang Bai's mouth.

Lang Bai was in a daze, he opened his mouth and took a mouthful, and swallowed without taste.He ate every mouthful of Yuan Zhen's feed, and when he had fed more than half of the bowl, he suddenly covered his mouth and frowned tightly: "...that's disgusting!"

Lang Bai hadn't eaten any food for a few days, and his stomach felt very uncomfortable after eating a little.Yuan Xiao didn't force him, he put down the bowl and asked, "You don't want it anymore?"

Lang Bai nodded.

"Follow me to see a doctor right away, have a general health checkup, and then go to see a lawyer to receive some property rights certificates from the American branch. In the evening, the two of us will have dinner together."

Lang Bai said in a low voice: "I won't go."

Yuan Xiao looked at him coldly, and after a while he resisted the desire to fight, and asked, "Do you want father to sleep restlessly?"

Lang Bai remained silent.

"Why don't you listen to people's persuasion!" Yuan Xiao looked at his thin side face, and the anger was helplessly extinguished, and an indescribable exhaustion surged in his heart in an instant, "Abai, do you know how big brother is? How did you get here in a few days? Do you know how many times the eldest brother walked back and forth on the tip of the knife? The Wang family has completely fallen out with us, and several elders of the Yuan family have also rioted. No, there is no one around me. I know you feel uncomfortable, but Ah Bai! Now that I am here, if I am also killed, wouldn’t it be a thousand times or ten thousand times more uncomfortable for you than now!”

Lang Bai was slightly shocked, and the expression on his face changed.Seeing this, Yuan Zhen was momentarily angry and momentarily sad, before sighing after a long while: "Now you still have me, we are biological brothers after all, if you know I am gone, you are really the only one left in this world." ! What will you do then? Will you die with your father and brother? Ah?!"

Lang Bai raised his head to look at Yuan Zou, his gaze instantly seemed to be like he was looking at Yuan Cheng back then, panicked, timid and helpless.

Yuan Hao's heart felt sour, and his eyes were wet unconsciously: "Abai, you and I are the only ones in this world. Let's stay together and be safe and sound. Let's wait for father to wake up together, okay?"

Lang Bai stared at Yuan Xiao without blinking, his beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, so bright that people dare not look directly at them.The tears finally accumulated more and more, and finally overflowed his eyes, flowing down his thin and pale cheeks: "Brother..."

Yuan Xiao whispered, "I'm here!"

Lang Bai looked at him, took a quick breath, and suddenly burst into tears uncontrollably.

From the day Yuan Cheng was bitten by the snake until now, Lang Bai has never really cried out, even when he shed tears, he still suppressed his sobs and tried his best to hold back.This was the first time he had cried so unabashedly. Yuan Xiao patted his back and said softly, "Just cry...don't hold back...just cry..."

At this moment, Zhou Zhengrong, who had been staying in the doctor's duty room, suddenly stumbled out, followed by a doctor who was equally panicked, and shouted from afar across the corridor: "Young Master! Mr. Yuan is awake! Mr. Yuan is awake! "

Yuan Xiao stood up suddenly: "What?"

"I saw Mr. Yuan move and opened his eyes in the camera just now!" Zhou Zhengrong strode towards this side in a hurry, while dragging the doctor with all his might, "Go in and have a look! Doctor, doctor, you faster!"

Lang Bai's feet were so weak that he couldn't even stand up from the bench.Yuan Xiao gave him a hand, and pushed open the door of the ward with trembling hands. When he ran in, the lock hit his arm hard, but he didn't feel any pain.

Yuan Cheng on the hospital bed opened his eyes slightly, his gaze was still very distracted. Seeing them coming in, he didn't respond at all for several seconds.Until Yuan Xiao pushed Lang Bai to the front, Yuan Cheng stared at Lang Bai, his eyes flickered for a while, and slowly showed a smile-like expression.

Lang Bai's whole body was trembling, even his voice was trembling and out of tune: "...Dad..."

Yuan Cheng reluctantly raised his hand, Lang Bai grasped it in his palm, tears rolled down his cheeks: "Father..."

Yuan Cheng slowly wiped away the tears on his face with his fingertips, then turned his gaze to Yuan Xiao, and then to Zhou Zhengrong.After several seconds, he barely nodded his head, and there seemed to be some encouragement in his eyes.

Yuan Xiao was not much better than Lang Bai. He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak a few times, as if his vocal cords lost their function in an instant.Just as he was finally able to stammer and make some sound, Yuan Cheng had already.

closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Only then did Yuan Xiao's body go limp, but fortunately the doctor quickly stopped him, "Father!..."

Zhou Zhengrong was in a hurry and bit his tongue several times in a panic: "Young master, hold on! Hold on! The group will depend on you before Mr. Yuan stands up. You must not fall down!"

One sentence reminded Yuan Xiao.Worried about his father and younger brother at the same time, the crown prince Yuan Zou, who had been working tirelessly for half a month, spinning like a spinning top day and night, finally rolled his eyes and passed out successfully.

In the ward, someone screamed for Mr. Yuan, someone screamed for the young master, someone screamed for the doctor... and fell into complete chaos.
