The Xia familys apartment is located in the suburbs of this city, a rich area where only the wealthy can live, with spacious villas and gardens that showcase the Xia familys wealth.

  Because Yang Muye said he wanted to visit Old Man Xia, so he and Xia Tianmeng entered the Xia residence together.

  The maid, though puzzled by the relationship between the young lady and this young talent who often appeared on TV, just took a few sneaky glances before opening the door and respectfully saying: "The old master and Mr. and Mrs. are in the living room."

  Before entering the living room, I heard Old Man Xias dissatisfied scolding: "Do you know that its a brothers duty to take care of his sister on her return today? Instead, shes still busy with trivial matters at the company. Its really unreasonable!"

  Then came the comforting words: "Dad, with such a big company, Tianyu must be very busy. Tianmeng is not young anymore, cant get lost, right? Besides, didnt Tianyu ask his friends to pick him up?"

  "Hmph! Always using this excuse! Cant the company function without him? What Xias successor needs is management, not dictatorship! If you dont trust and empower your subordinates, who will be willing to go all out for him?"

  Mrs. Xia was obviously displeased: "Dad, its not the same as when you were around now. I think Tianyu is fine this way. Besides, if Tianyu doesnt take over, who will? And isnt Tianmeng going to marry someone and become an outsider too?"

  The mother treats her own daughter as an outsider, these words are really a bit harsh.

  Yang Mu Ye obviously didnt know that Xia Tian Meng wasnt well-received at home, and now hearing these words only made him feel heartache for her.

  "Foolishness! As a woman, you actually look down on women, its really pitiful!" Old Master Xia was clearly furious, his wooden cane banging on the floor. "Xia Shi is not just our Xia familys, but also belongs to all employees! Whoever we choose as successor will affect the future of the company! No matter who Miao Miao marries in the future, as long as Xia Shi is good, it will forever be Xia Shi!"

  There was a moment of silence in the living room. Xia Linfan, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Tian Meng should be almost home by now."

  Her voice had just fallen when Xia Tian Mengs crisp voice was heard: "Im back! Grandpa, what are you in a bad mood about? Everyone at the gate heard it!"

  The white-haired Old Man Xia saw Xia Tianmeng approaching, discontentedly: "You little devil, youve been gone for five years and havent even come back home! If it werent for the occasional phone call with this old man, I would have forgotten that I had such a granddaughter!"

  "In the summer, Meng pouted and hugged her grandfathers arm, coquettishly saying: "Grandpa didnt you always say that you support me in being a strong woman? Didnt we agree that I wouldnt enter the house until Ive achieved something?"

  Old Xia patted her forehead, and the smile on his face couldnt deceive anyone. Seeing Yang Mu Ye with a rare humble attitude, he said: "Ah, its the young master of the Yang family!"

  Yang Muyeh, although he had been working with the Xia family for several years, rarely met Old Man Xia. When he saw Old Man Xia remembering him, he restrained his usual arrogant demeanor and smiled: "Yes, it was Tianyu who asked me to pick up Tianmeng." Then he politely greeted Xia Linfan and his wife: "Uncle, Auntie."

  Old Xia nodded and motioned for Yang Mu Ye to sit down.

  "Mom and Dad."

  Xia Linfan nodded and asked: "Are you used to living in the United States?"

  In the summer, Miao smiled and said, as if talking to an unfamiliar elder: "Its okay."

  Mrs. Xia glanced at Xia Tian Meng, but ultimately didnt say anything.

  After dinner, Xia Tian lay on the bed with her eyes closed, recalling the plot. At this time, the heroine should have already entered the heros company and become his assistant. The two people were like happy enemies, with the hero disdaining the heroines "hypocrisy" while being unable to remain unmoved by her clumsy efforts. Even when the female partner returned, the hero did not let the heroine leave, which was the tyrannical way of the president in this novel. He even asked the heroine to be his mistress after marrying the female partner.

  "Hmm..."

  "Xia Lao is very good to you. Remember to report tomorrow."

  Xia Tian Miao hooked her lips, and Yang Mu Ye indeed treated the goddess with concern, comforting her in this way. If it were the original owners cold and weak self, she would definitely be moved.

  "Uh-huh."

  Yang Mu Ye looked at the returned message, slightly pursed his lips, and glanced sideways at Lu Wan Qi who was wearing a pure white dress with her back straight and her face pale, staring ahead. "Urgent matter?" She had always been very serious about work, but today she suddenly saw her hurrying to ask for leave in the company parking lot, apparently it was an urgent matter.

  Lu Wanqi looked at him with his head tilted, one hand on the steering wheel and the other casually resting on his leg. The dim streetlights cast a warm glow on his face, adding a hint of warmth to his normally cold expression. But this side of him was something she couldnt afford to hope for.

  "Hmm... Ziyan has fallen ill."

  She lost her parents at an early age and now has only her younger brother who depends on her for survival.

  Makino saw her clutching her skirt with a somewhat pale hand and fell silent too.

  "Hmm~"

  A short message with just two words: thank you.

  She puckered her lips, and I could almost imagine her pursing them in a serious expression, and somehow my mood improved just a little.

  Lu Wanqi tried hard to suppress himself from looking at the message that made him soften up a bit, but still saw the two words "Meng Meng".

  Who is Momo? Is she his girlfriend? Didnt he not have a girlfriend? Does he really like her? Can a single text message make him laugh out loud? Am I being too greedy? Every time, Im reluctant to part with the time spent with him, telling myself that maybe there will be a different ending, deceiving myself that its okay just this once, but seeing him smile at someone else really hurts my heart!

  Yang Mu Ye saw Lu Wan Qi lowering her head, her long black hair covering the side of her face, and thought she was worried about her brothers affairs, so he turned up the music in the car, Richard Claydermans "Whispers of Autumn".

  Lu Wanqi leaned her head against the car window, warm tears silently streaming down, her fingernails digging into her palms, but this was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

  Lu Ziyu fainted suddenly during class, and the teacher had already sent him to the hospital. Lu Wangqi rushed to the ward in a hurry, saw Lu Ziyus pale face lying on the bed, and burst into tears: "Ziyu! Sorry, its my fault for not taking care of you..."

  The teacher who had been guarding the sickroom looked rather embarrassed, and upon seeing Yang Mu Yes confident demeanor, said: "The doctor said it was congenital physical weakness, which has never been supplemented, plus eating problems, so his body couldnt withstand it and he vomited blood."

  Lu Wanqis face turned pale in an instant, she grasped Lu Ziyus hand tightly and trembled with her voice: "Im sorry, sister is busy with work and cant take care of you, Ziyu, its sisters fault, sister failed to live up to Dad and Moms trust, sorry to you!"

  Yang Mu Ye saw her so fragile and felt a sense of pity, stepped forward to put his arm around her thin shoulders: "Dont worry, the doctor will be able to cure you."

  Lu Wanqi buried her face in Lu Ziyuans small hands, her shoulders shaking with sobs: "Its my fault, I shouldnt have let him be alone, hes only nine years old, how can he take care of himself..."

  The young female teacher frowned in dissatisfaction, the whole class was like this, she had been extra careful with Lu Ziyu because she knew his family situation, but Lu Ziyu was somewhat introverted and couldnt get along with his classmates at all.

  Yang Muyexiao comforted her by holding her shoulders tightly, but in his heart, he felt that Lu Wanchi was different from the kind of heartless and money-worshipping woman he had always thought she was.
