Self-cultivation of spare tire

No one thought that following the news of Xu's stock hitting a new high, came the shocking news that the people in power of Xu's family had entered the police station and hospital.

Xu Lanting's commotion at the airport was too loud, and the news that he was fined for provoking trouble and then sent to the hospital for stitches couldn't be suppressed no matter what.

In other words, Xu Lanting didn't care about these messy news at all.

After simple stitches in the hospital and treatment of the wound, Xu Lanting didn't stay for a moment.

While using all available manpower to track down Chen Zhu's whereabouts, he went back to the main house to look for clues left by Chen Zhu before he left.

Ziyu Villa seems to have not yet woken up from the joy, and the flowers along the way covered the entire villa.

When Xu Lanting got out of the car, his heart sank.In front of him is a road paved with flowers, and servants standing on both sides to welcome him. Even the musicians of the band are looking forward to it and waiting quietly.

Everyone, is waiting.

They were all waiting for Chen Zhu to come home.

Xu Lanting took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Everyone has withdrawn."

The old butler was startled when he saw Xu Lanting's appearance, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and hurriedly asked people to remove all the decorations.

Xu Lanting walked into the hall slowly. The dishes on the dinner table had been reheated many times, and the cocktails had lost their original luster.

He looked coldly at the leftovers on the table, and suddenly smiled.Then the man raised his hand and ripped off the tablecloth violently.

The plates were shattered, the wine was spilled, and the candles on the table burned with alcohol.

The people below were all terrified. Seeing the tongue of fire burning all the way along the tablecloth to the curtains, everyone screamed and hurriedly searched for water to put out the fire.

In the chaos, the man stood in front of the fire, his deep pupils were full of reflections of the flames.

He squinted his eyes, dejectedly watching everything he had carefully prepared turn into ashes, watching the little rabbit cake quickly melt in the firelight.

"Third Young Master..." The old butler looked worriedly at the man standing in front of the fire with an expressionless face, "Third Young Master?"

Xu Lanting lowered his head, put his hands on his forehead, and said in a cold voice: "Uncle Xu, call out all the surveillance at home these days, and Chen Zhu's room—" he said, looking at the place where Chen Zhu once lived. Go to the bedroom.

The man's abnormal calmness was even more worrying. The old housekeeper could only follow Xu Lanting's order to switch out all the surveillance cameras.

But he looked at the gentle and kind boy in the surveillance, and couldn't figure out what happened.

The old butler knocked on the door, thinking that Xu Lanting would try his best to check the room to the bottom, but when he opened the door and entered, he only saw Xu Lanting sitting on the small sofa by the bay window, looking into the distance. Thinking about something.

"Third Young Master?" said the old butler, "The monitoring has been adjusted, can you take a look?"

The man's voice was hoarse, "No need."

Xu Lanting's condition was really bad, and the old butler approached with some anxiety.

When he got closer, the old housekeeper found that there was a note on the small sofa.

Xu Lanting gave a wry smile, the edge of the note was crumpled by him.

"Board and lodging expenses, medical expenses..." Xu Lanting suddenly laughed in a low voice, but the voice was faintly broken, "He really does not want to owe me anything."

"IOU," Xu Lanting gritted his teeth, "it's another IOU...everything between us is just this IOU. Heh..."

The man suddenly lowered his head and buried his face in his palm.

The IOU fell lightly on the ground, and the old housekeeper leaned over to pick it up. Seeing the sharp handwriting on it, he never thought that the seemingly gentle child's handwriting was so unruly.

The board and lodging expenses for the past few days were included in the IOU, and the old housekeeper sighed, "Third Young Master, since Mr. Chen Zhu wrote the IOU, it shows that he will not disappear forever, and he will come back one day."

"Yes." Xu Lanting raised his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot, "But Uncle Xu, I didn't even know I was so miserable... He would rather give up his future, leave his family, and go to an unfamiliar place alone..."

He couldn't go on talking anymore, Xu Lanting didn't dare to think about how his A Zhu... a kid who can speak English fluently, is going to survive alone in a foreign country.

Compared with sullenness, what tortured Xu Lanting more was belated self-blame and heartache.

Where did he go wrong? He asked himself that he had tried his best to keep him, and he also made plans to spend the rest of his life with Chen Zhu...

Even, as long as Chen Zhu is willing, they can immediately wear the ring that symbolizes eternity for each other.

Xu Lanting was finally willing to put everything he had into the balance.

For the first time in his life, a calculating man gives his all, no matter the cost.

But what Xu Lanting waited for was Chen Zhu's departure.

Chen Zhu shattered all Xu Lanting's imagination about their future in the most ruthless and unexpected way.

Xu Lanting didn't understand why his wholeheartedness would result in such a result...

He was extremely confused, what should he do to get his A Zhu back?

Confusion, restlessness, self-blame and guilt—all the weak emotions that Xu Lanting once despised imprisoned him overwhelmingly.

He stepped into the world of mortals and fell into the abyss set by Chen Zhu himself.

He couldn't struggle, and he didn't want to struggle.

With the fermentation of public opinion, the news that Xu Lanting entered the police station quickly spread throughout the circle.

And Xu Lanting didn't have any time to rest, he had to sort out all his emotions and deal with everything quickly.

Otherwise, the group of people who were watching his seat all the time would jump out and bite at any time.

But Xu Lanting just sat in front of the bay window for a long time without moving.

"Third Young Master, Madam just called to ask about your situation." The old butler looked at Xu Lanting's dejected appearance and sighed, "She said, if you don't give an explanation to the outside world, those people at home..."

The Xu family is surrounded by wolves, and Xu Yonglian is not a kind person.Xu Lanting must face everything with a complete attitude at any time, otherwise, if he is not careful, his hard work over the years will be in vain.

But Xu Lanting just said lightly: "You said it's too late for me to drop everything and chase him..."

Is Ah Zhu still angry because I missed his birthday?

Then I put everything down to keep him now, is there still time?

The old butler didn't know what to say for a while, he looked at the man he had grown up with, and he didn't know Xu Lanting.

The third son he knew would not let Xu down for anything.Even Xu Lanting himself is ranked behind Xu.

In the silent bedroom, a heavy sigh.

When Xu Lanting got up, the old housekeeper thought he was going to the company.But the man said: "Get ready for the car, I'm going to Zhongguancun."

He didn't have the slightest thought of taking care of the Xu family's group of people, so he drove to Zhongguancun.

He detoured in the direction of his home and parked the car at the door of Fang Xu.

The last time I saw Fang Xu, Xu Lanting was still at ease, looking down on this insignificant "rival in love" with an attitude of looking down from above.

But this time, Xu Lanting was standing downstairs in his house, looking up at the window.

The man did not move extraneously, nor did he appear to force his way into Fang Xu's house.He just stood there, looking expressionlessly at the French window.

Xu Lanting knew that Fang Xu must have seen him.

As the man expected, Fang Xu held back for half an hour, and finally couldn't help but opened the window and yelled at him, "Get out!"

With a self-deprecating smile on his lips, the man stood there unconsciously, indifferent to Fang Xu's roar.

As it was getting late, Xu Lanting stood alone under the night light with injuries all over his body, as if he would stand until dawn until Fang Xu came down.

In terms of scheming people's hearts, Fang Xu is not Xu Lanting's opponent after all.

In the early hours of the morning, Fang Xu rushed to Xu Lanting full of anger.

"Bastard bastard, what on earth do you want to do?" Fang Xu grabbed Xu Lanting's collar, but the man was too tall, so he had to stand on tiptoe, but he still had a lot of momentum, "Don't think I'm afraid of you, you Xu family want to It's not that easy to move us!"

Xu Lanting did not evade, looked down at the angry Fang Xu, and only asked him, "Chen Zhu, where are you?"

As soon as Fang Xu heard Xu Lanting mention Chen Zhu, he became very angry, and shouted loudly: "You still have the face to mention him, if you didn't force him—" Fang Xu raised his fist and hit Xu Lanting hard on the face.

Xu Lanting turned his head away from the beating, bloodshot eyes appeared from the corner of his mouth.

However, he just raised his hand to wipe away the blood, as if he didn't know the pain, "Chen Zhu," the man asked repeatedly, "Where is it?"

Fang Xu thought of Chen Zhu's lonely look before leaving this morning when he came to say goodbye.

The young man should have a bright future, but he had to leave his hometown.

Just because of such a scumbag, just because of Xu Lanting, a scumbag...

Fang Xu pushed Xu Lanting away fiercely, "Dog, do you think I will tell you?"

"Aren't you capable? Aren't you powerful and omnipotent?" Fang Xu yelled at Xu Lanting fiercely, "Let me tell you, even if I knew, I would never, never tell you!"

"Get out! Don't stand here and block my eyes!"

Fang Xu put down his harsh words and went upstairs without looking back.

And Xu Lanting listened to Fang Xu's insults without saying a word, then turned and got into the car.

At least, he knew from Fang Xu's mouth that Chen Zhu hadn't settled down yet, probably because he didn't want him to find out his whereabouts, so he had to travel to several countries along the way.

Escape... Xu Lanting could deeply feel that Chen Zhu was running away from him.

Chen Zhu treated Xu Lanting like a scourge—this was sharper than anyone's abuse, and it ruthlessly crossed Xu Lanting's heart.

Xu Lanting tried his best to abandon the gloom that surged up, gritted his teeth, and went to the next place.

When Jiang Jianren was pushed out by a group of people, he was still wearing pajamas.

He didn't even have time to put on his glasses, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Xu Lanting who broke into his house in the middle of the night.

"You, what do you want to do?" Looking at the battle in front of him, Jiang Jianren couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine.

Xu Lanting glanced at Jiang Jianren, then waved his hand to signal the people under him to start moving.

A group of people held Jiang Jianren down and began to search for something.

"What are you trying to do? You..." Jiang Jianren yelled halfway, and saw that someone had easily hacked his computer, and then all the data in his computer was wiped out.

Then, a recording pen hidden in the cabinet was dug out.

Xu Lanting glanced at him and asked him, "Did you meet Chen Zhu on the day you filled out the volunteer application?"

Jiang Jianren gritted his teeth: "No..."

"Then he gave up his studies, did he tell you?"

Jiang Jianren was stunned for a moment, then couldn't believe it, "No, it's impossible." Chen Zhu obviously has the best future, how could it be possible...

"Impossible, he has already been escorted." Jiang Jianren raised his head in astonishment, trying to tell the truth from Xu Lanting's eyes, "He obviously still has such a great ambition, and his ideal has not been realized—"

Jiang Jianren realized something: "Is it you? You put him—"

"Shut up." Xu Lanting held Jiang Jianren's neck with a sullen face, "Jiang Jianren, I haven't settled with you yet when you tried to sow discord between me and Chen Zhu."

The strength in the man's hands increased, and Jiang Jianren almost suffocated.

"Tell me, before Chen Zhu left, did you see him?"

Jiang Jianren endured the suffocation, and stared at Xu Lanting viciously: "It's you, you ruined him. Do you know how many people's hope he is? Do you know how many people are looking forward to Chen Zhu's success! Why did you force him away? !"

"Heh..." Xu Lanting sneered, and slowly let go, "Don't you think that what you said to Chen Zhu was forcing him?"

Xu Lanting narrowed his eyes, "The so-called proud son of heaven, the 'light of the [-]th High School', the future pillar, you impose these things on Chen Zhu and threaten him to break up with me."

Jiang Jianren was rescued from suffocation, coughed, and almost knelt on the ground, "No, it's not like this. I, I'm for his benefit, I'm for Chen Zhu's future..."

As he spoke, Jiang Jianren's voice gradually dropped, and he wept softly, "I didn't think about forcing him away, I just wanted him to go on the right path."

Xu Lanting didn't even want to give him an extra look. After making sure that Jiang Jianren had nothing in his hands that could threaten Chen Zhu, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Xu Lanting." Jiang Jianren said suddenly, "Do you know what Chen Zhu would have been like if he hadn't met you back then? He would have a simple but happy high school, a wonderful college life, and his future life He will be with his ideals, and he will live a very happy life."

Jiang Jianren said slowly: "However, you appeared in Chen Zhu's life when you should not have appeared at the last time. Your appearance is the biggest disaster and stain in Chen Zhu's life."

It was already early morning when he left Jiang Jianren's home.

Xu Lanting leaned tiredly on the back of the chair. He closed his eyes, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Fang Xu's words and Jiang Jianren's words were mixed together, running rampant in Xu Lanting's mind.

Before Xu Lanting could clear his mind, an unexpected call came in.

Xu Lanting sat up slightly, "Hello, Mr. Chen."

Chen Wenguo also didn't sleep all night, Chen Zhu's interview was played repeatedly on TV, and every time he watched it, the dull pain in his heart increased.

"You are, Xu Lanting." Chen Wenguo dialed the opposite number according to the contact information given by Chen Zhu.

"I'm Chen Wenguo, Chen Zhu's grandfather." Chen Wenguo said slowly, "I think you remember me. Although I don't want to repeat some things, I think you will hold Chen Zhu in your hands by whatever means. Had to say it again."

He said: "I don't know why, but you must tie Chen Zhu and refuse to let go. Master Xu, I want to ask you, why?"

Xu Lanting couldn't say a word, he was silent and didn't make a sound.

Chen Wenguo sighed: "I've known you before, but to you, your relationship is just that you don't get along well, so you changed to the next one. Can't you just let Chen Zhu go?"

"Could it be that just because Chen Zhu left you first, you feel uncomfortable after being slapped in the face?"

"Mr. Chen," Xu Lanting finally said, "Don't say that."

Chen Wenguo said coldly: "Why, can't you beat Xu Lanting in the face?"

"Xu Lanting." Chen Wenguo felt pain in his heart when he thought of Chen Zhu being alone abroad, "You let our Zhu'er go, let him go, okay?"

Chen Wenguo: "I have gone through a lot of hardships in raising him, and it is not easy for him to walk out of this ravine. If you still have a little bit of conscience, let him go, let us Chen Zhuxing go?"

Xu Lanting suddenly couldn't say a word, and he couldn't say a word until he hung up the phone.

Every word Chen Wenguo said pierced Xu Lanting's heart sharply.

He bowed slowly and took a long breath, guilt almost bent his back.

"I'm sorry," the man whispered in vain and weakly, "Azhu..."

It turned out that his love was the original sin.
