When Huo Yan arrived at Ziyu Villa, the old butler was anxiously waiting at the door.

"Mr. Huo, you're finally here. The third son of our family hasn't eaten properly for several days. He has been shutting himself in the room without seeing anyone. We really have no choice—"

"I know." Huo Yan said, knocking on the door of Xu Lanting's bedroom.

There was no movement inside.

Jiang Yu also stood at the door of the room, knocking on the door anxiously: "Xu Lanting, what's wrong with you?"

She knew that Xu Lanting had fallen into it, but she didn't expect him to fall so deep.

A woman can't imagine that the head of the Xu family she cultivated by herself will one day leave the entire family behind!

"Xu Lanting, are you really going to give up your career for so many years for a brat? Do you know what kind of chaos the Xu family is now—"

"Auntie." Huo Yan stopped the woman from complaining, "Just avoid it for a while, I'll come."

After finishing speaking, Huo Yan slammed on the door, and the lock trembled.

"Xu Lanting, I'll slam the door open later. If you do something with me, I'll accompany you at any time." Huo Yan said, and slammed the door hard again.

At the moment when the door was faltering, the lock finally turned gently.

The moment the door opened, Huo Yan almost thought he was wrong.

He had never seen Xu Lanting look so downcast.The man's eyes had lost the vigor and vigor of the past, and there was a smear of blackness in his eyes - but after not seeing him for a few months, Xu Lanting was already so thin that he described it as haggard.

"You," Huo Yan didn't know what to say for a moment, he was always not good at words, let alone comforting others, "You fucking..."

Xu Lanting turned away slightly and let him into the room.

As soon as he entered the door, Huo Yan realized that this was not Xu Lanting's master bedroom. The room was too warm, and the bright yellow color tone was not Xu Lanting's usual style.

Although Xu Lanting looked emaciated, he did not collapse and lose control as Huo Yan imagined.

The man walked slowly to the table and poured him a glass of water, "You came just in time today."

Huo Yan looked at Xu Lanting's strangely calm expression, and said, "Xu Lanting, are you sure you're okay?"

"What can I do?" Xu Lanting gently put down the kettle, and smiled faintly, "I can't die."

"you--"

"Okay, I'll be fine." Xu Lanting sat down on the sofa and clasped his hands in a relaxed posture.

But what he said was not so easy, "There is one thing, you have to help me."

Huo Yan: "About Chen Zhu?"

"En." Mentioning Chen Zhu, the man's heart tightened, he took a deep breath, and continued, "I want you to keep an eye on him for me."

Huo Yan frowned, "Xu Lanting, can you calm down?"

"No." Xu Lanting said quietly, "I just want you to take care of his safety. He is alone in a foreign country now, and I don't know what dangers he will encounter...I just want you to make sure that he is fine and not injured. There is no illness, and no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Huo Yan: "First of all, he is an adult, and I don't think his temperament will be a person who is afraid of suffering; secondly, why don't you do these things yourself?"

"Well, I understand the truth." Xu Lanting glanced at Huo Yan, "But if you can't let it go, you can't let it go. You should and have a deep understanding."

Huo Yan paused and didn't speak.

Xu Lanting continued: "I can't bother him anymore..." As he spoke, he felt a faint headache, and the depression in his heart almost overwhelmed him, "I can't."

The man lowered his head slightly and sighed, "I can't look for him anymore, I have to disappear from his world..."

"So," Xu Lanting raised his eyes, his eyes were filled with dead silence, "Huo Yan, help me."

"Okay." Huo Yan still agreed.

Xu Lanting said solemnly: "Even if I point a knife at you one day, don't tell me his whereabouts."

The man's voice was hopeless and weak, "I beg you."

He can only be safe if he cuts off all his eyeliner and locks up that uncontrollable and greedy beast—locks himself up.

Huo Yan looked at Xu Lanting's appearance, and said helplessly, "Understood. Also, do you still care about the Xu family?"

Speaking of the Xu family, Xu Lanting finally showed a hint of ferocity in his eyes, "Of course."

It happened that he was very idle, and there was nowhere to vent/vent the prey in his heart.

Right now, Xu Lanting planned to distract himself with some old men jumping up and down.

In the next month, Xu Lanting dealt with several people in the company who jointly signed a shareholder meeting.

While punishing those who disagree with him, he also killed chickens and monkeys to appease those vacillating idiots, so that the company's senior executives would not dare to act rashly again.

But the incident of Xu Yonglian being sent to prison was so big that it almost became a family scandal.

Mr. Xu was so angry that he was sent to the hospital, and the stocks of the Xu family also plummeted.

But soon, Xu Lanting completely cut off the Xu family from Xu Yonglian regardless of Mr. Xu's wishes.

A report that can be called the righteous killing of relatives soon appeared in the public eye.

Xu Lanting even admitted in the interview that he was personally sent to prison by Xu Yonglian.

"Anyone who violates the laws and regulations of the country should be punished accordingly. No one can walk outside the law."

The next day, the industry was in an uproar and public opinion was boiling, and Xu's stock finally stopped falling.

With his own strength, Xu Lanting turned the tide and pulled the Xu family back from the brink of danger.

Not only that, he also persuaded Mr. Xu with ingenious words, half threatening, half comforting, so that Mr. Xu gave up his appeal against Xu Yonglian's case.

Xu Lanting seems to be born good at winning people's hearts and leading public opinion.In just one month, a big storm gradually subsided.

Everything seems to be back on track.

However, no one would have known that the smooth, thoughtful and eloquent Mr. Xu would hug a worn blanket in the dead of night and suffer from insomnia all night.

No one will know that Xu's powerful person in power will always drive to a dilapidated old housing area late at night, and immerse himself in pain night after night.

Asking for trouble in the memory over and over again.

"Really." Chen Zhu bowed and huddled in the phone booth, listening to Fang Xu's description of the Xu family's activities these days, "Xu Lanting, are you really going to let me go?"

Fang Xu was also a little surprised, but he checked carefully and was sure that Xu Lanting had no plans to go abroad to look for Chen Zhu.

Even the eyeliners arranged by Xu Lanting near their home have not appeared in the past few days.

"But for the sake of safety, you'd better not come back." Fang Xu said, "Who knows if this is not the old fox's or something... What kind of delay plan?"

Talking to Fang Xu always made Chen Zhu smile. Listening to Fang Xu's rote idioms, he smiled softly, "Well, I know."

Chen Zhu said, "Grandpa, are they all okay?"

Fang Xu patted his chest and said loudly, "Don't worry, I'm here. It's the teacher of the school... Do you know the dean of our age? You usually look like a fierce girl. I heard that you didn't go to college. I went to the Education Bureau several times to ask to keep your student status, and the principal did everything possible to keep your student status—"

With a sore nose for no reason, Chen Zhu sniffed, "Thank you."

After the call, Chen Zhu walked slowly on the quiet streets of Melbourne.

There were unfamiliar faces in front of his eyes, and Chen Zhu's half-understood language was in his ears. The different culture also made Chen Zhu quite uncomfortable.

However, Chen Zhu did not stop. Behind him were family members, teachers, and friends, and there were so many motivations that supported him to move forward.

He had already bought the ticket to the next country, and without Xu Lanting's hindrance, Chen Zhu's pace became more determined.

He was born in the barren soil, and he has long been used to absorbing nutrients from the predicament and striving to grow, so Chen Zhu didn't have much anxiety about the uncertainty of the future.

He is even full of fighting spirit and expectation.

Just as Chen Wenguo taught him, as long as you know where you come from and where your roots lie, you will not lose your way in adversity, and you will be able to firmly move towards your future.

In the evening, the owner of the orchard held a dinner party to reward a group of people who had worked hard for two months.

Chen Zhu relaxed like never before. He sat in the lively crowd, and the cold and delicious fruit juice, roasted meat overflowing with burnt aroma, and soothing music all made people feel happy.

And, of course, the ebullient blond sweetheart.

Even though parting was imminent, Ye Xi still smiled brightly. He hugged everyone on the table one by one, and his sweet mouth made the orchard owner smile from ear to ear.

"Summer, you are such a pistachio!" The orchard owner said with a smile, his face was full of joy after being coaxed.

"That's my honor." Ye Xi said, bowed and performed a gentleman's salute, which made everyone present laugh happily.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and many people began to invite them to dance.

Looking at the lively crowd, Chen Zhu smiled knowingly.

To be honest, he also likes Ye Xi quite a lot, he is sunny, bright, cheerful and generous, he is very contagious when he smiles, and seems to be able to dispel all the haze.

When getting along with Ye Xi, Chen Zhu can always feel unprecedented happiness.

Although sometimes he would cause some ironic little troubles, but Chen Zhu still liked him as a friend.

After hugging everyone, Ye Xi's ears turned red. He walked up to Chen Zhu and said softly, "Chen Zhu, it's our turn to hug."

Chen Zhu got up, originally intending to hug this lovely friend lightly, but unexpectedly, he was hugged tightly by those powerful arms.

It seems, as if... Ye Xi's hug with someone just now was not like this...

Chen Zhu struggled, and he could feel Ye Xi's solid muscles and warm body temperature through the thin cloth.

"Ye Xi?" Chen Zhu noticed Ye Xi's unexpected silence, which was a little inexplicable.

After a while, Chen Zhu's shoulders became moist.

He heard Ye Xi's crying voice, "Brother, I can't bear you."
