Chapter 68 Xie Yu's uncle stood outside...

Xie Yu's uncle, who was standing outside, heard the entire questioning process.

Shen Lang and Jiang Can were able to go to the restaurant because they wanted to buy a house. That's how they met Wang Aiguo at the real estate agency. The two were rich enough to attract Wang Aiguo's attention, and he led them to the restaurant.

Shen Lang and Jiang Can were incredibly clever and cautious, and their methods were extremely ruthless. They confidently entered Wang Aiguo's lair, slaughtered everyone, and rescued the victims.

They promptly called the police and an ambulance.

Things went so smoothly and coincidentally as if Shen Lang and Jiang Can had arranged it all on purpose.

Xie Xuan didn't believe in coincidences, but after learning about Shen Lang and Jiang Can's resumes in detail, all his doubts disappeared.

These two young people, who are not even 19 years old, are really not simple. Their rich experience is astonishing.

The two men took down a high-ranking official in Zhou City, causing a major reshuffle of officials in Liao County and sending a large number of people to their deaths.

How difficult is it for two powerless ordinary people to overthrow the officialdom of a county or city? The two of them did it.

They also killed the armed thugs hired to kill them and saved a bus passenger.

Both of them received second-class merit awards, and Shen Lang was specially recruited into the Public Security University.

During this period, the two became rich twice due to land expropriation, opening restaurants and factories, and accumulating a fortune of tens of millions at a young age.

Last time, Xiaoyu was abducted by human traffickers, and it was truly a coincidence that she was rescued. The traffickers had their eyes on Jiang Can, even drugging him and hiding him in a coffin, which angered Shen Lang. Shen Lang sealed off a temple with a huge flow of people, managed to find Jiang Can, and arrested all the traffickers. He even followed the trail to their hideout, rescuing all the victims, including Xiaoyu.

This wasn't the end of it; he also forced the human traffickers' supplier to come out, and the incident caused a huge uproar.

Later, Shen Lang was awarded a first-class merit.

There was also the involvement of Xie Yu's father, Xie Shuo, in this.

A first-class merit is not easy to obtain.

It's no wonder that this couple is so formidable, managing to cripple Wang Aiguo and his group.

Xie Xuan felt a little regretful. Shen Lang should have gone to a military academy. Someone with his talent would have been a top soldier in the army, with incredible combat power.

Xie Yu's father, Xie Shuo, said, "Can Can and A Lang are such lucky kids. If Xiao Yu, this unlucky child, plays with them more, maybe his luck will change."

Xie Xuan: ...

At first glance, this makes a lot of sense.

Xie Xun hesitated for a moment before asking, "Father, may I take a look?"

He wanted to know what Shen Lang had done.

Xie Xuan said, "Go and play with Xiao Yu. You don't need to doubt A Lang and Can Can anymore. You should also learn more from them."

Xie Xun clenched his fist. "Yes, Father."

Jiang Can came out first, and Xie Yu ran over and handed Jiang Can a set of clothes, saying, "Sis, go change your clothes, you can take a shower inside."

Xie Yu had changed into a colorful round-neck puff-sleeved dress. Her washed hair was half-dry and was now hanging loosely down her back like a little butterfly. However, her cheeks were still swollen, which affected her appearance.

Jiang Can certainly didn't like feeling sticky and smelly, so she took the clothes and towel to change.

Xie Yu was waiting outside and even asked Jiang Can if he needed a back rub.

Jiang Can: "Thank you, no need." She washed quickly, without washing her hair. There was no blood on her hair, and it wasn't convenient to wash her hair outside.

The clothes are the same style as Xie Yu's clothes. The upper part is a white round neck with puff sleeves, and the skirt is a colorful tulle skirt with a particularly large and dynamic hem.

Jiang Can felt it was a bit too flashy; she had never worn clothes like that before.

But it's still much better than the blood-stained clothes she wore before.

She combed her hair again and came out. Xie Yu rushed over like a butterfly, circling around Jiang Can: "Sister, you look especially beautiful. Auntie has the best taste; she's the best at buying clothes."

Xie Yu's aunt, Lu Li, smiled and tapped Xie Yu's head: "You have such a sweet tongue." She looked at Jiang Can and praised her earnestly: "Extremely beautiful."

He couldn't help but reach out and pat Jiang Can's head.

She is actually a very slow-to-warm-up person, but she liked Shen Lang and Jiang Can very much the first time she saw them.

She especially wanted to see the child again, especially Shen Lang.

Everyone just advised her to go home and rest. She had just returned from abroad and had taken a flight that took more than ten hours. She was jet-lagged and was very tired, but she didn't want to leave.

Xie Xun: "Mom, Xiaoyu is fine. You're very tired. Go back and rest. You have dark circles under your eyes. I feel so sorry for you."

Lu Li shook her head: "I want to see you all." She patted Xie Xun's hand to reassure him not to worry.

How could Xie Xun not be worried? But he couldn't say anything more.

Xie Shuo came out from inside, stood in front of Xie Yu, looked at her and Jiang Can, and said with a smile, "You really look like sisters. I have a piece of land in the east of the city. I'll transfer it to your name as a gift from me and A Ling to our goddaughter."

Jiang Can: !!!

"This is too valuable."

Xie Shuo: "It's not valuable at all, it's just water."

Xi Ling said, "I have two shops near Huada University that have been vacant and have been transferred to Cancan's name."

Jiang Can was instantly stunned by the unexpected windfall. "This isn't good, is it?"

Xie Yu held Jiang Can's hand and said, "Thank you, Mom."

Shouldn't Jiang Can say thank you to his godfather and godmother?

Even if I gave it to her, she wouldn't feel comfortable taking it.

It couldn't have been just a casual remark, could it?

Although she felt uneasy about holding onto it, she was willing to be uneasy.

Lu Li turned her head to look at the corridor. Xie Xuan and Shen Lang walked out together. Her heart skipped a few beats. She stared blankly at the two figures side by side.

Xie Xun called Lu Li several times but couldn't wake her. He was terrified. He gritted his teeth and reached out to shake Lu Li's arm: "Mom, Uncle and Aunt are both bleeding heavily. Shouldn't you do something about it?"

Lu Li then snapped out of his daze, shifting his gaze from Shen Lang's face to Xie Xun: "Xun, what did you say?"

Xie Xun: "Both your eldest uncle and second aunt gave Cancan gifts. Shouldn't you and your father also give something in return?"

Lu Li pondered for a moment and said, "I will give the jade jewelry set I wore at my wedding to Can Can."

Xie Xun felt a lump in her throat. That set of jade jewelry was worth millions! Most importantly, it was left to her by Lu Li's mother. Was she really going to give it away to those two bastards, Shen Lang and Jiang Can?

Is this what blood ties are?

Even without knowing it, they still gave the best of everything.

Xie Yu said with a grin, "Sister, you should thank Auntie. That set of jewelry is very precious. Auntie usually doesn't wear it herself, and she wouldn't even give it to me!"

Lu Li reached out and gently pinched Xie Yu's nose: "It's clearly because you don't like wearing jade that you took my diamond ring."

Xie Yu chuckled.

Jiang Can hesitated for a moment, wondering if the gift was too heavy.

Do all members of the Xie family love to boast? Are they just making empty promises now, only to refuse to give anything later?

Jiang Can looked at Lu Li again. He didn't seem like the type to brag. "How about we just forget about it?"

Lu Li chuckled, "It's yours." He immediately instructed his assistant to go back to the ancestral home to retrieve it.

They really gave it to me!

Jiang Can held Xie Yu's hand and said, "From now on, you'll be my little sister."

It's as precious as real gold and silver.

As Shen Lang and Xie Xuan walked in, Jiang Can couldn't help but grab Shen Lang's hand, wanting to share the joy. Unfortunately, there were too many people, and it wasn't the right occasion to talk about these things.

It made her seem like she was very ignorant.

Ugh, she's so ignorant.

My goodness, I've become rich overnight!

I don't know the location of the shop or its size. I don't know where the land is in the east of the city, or if it's suitable for building a factory. If the location is good, it's definitely not a good place to build a factory; that would be such a waste. Should we build a building instead?

And that set of jade jewelry must be quite valuable. It would be even better if it were a set of gold jewelry. Oh well, she just loves gold.

Jiang Can tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, not letting his smile be too flamboyant, at least not enough to show his teeth.

That's so undignified.

Seeing Jiang Can so happy, Shen Lang couldn't help but smile and reach out to ruffle Jiang Can's hair.

Lu Li picked up a set of clothes from the chair and walked over to Shen Lang. "Try this outfit on and see if it suits you."

Shen Lang took the clothes and said "thank you".

Lu Li's eyes immediately reddened, her nose felt a little sore, and she inexplicably wanted to shed tears. As she watched Shen Lang walk towards the bathroom, her gaze followed him.

Jiang Can sensed something was wrong. "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Lu Li smiled: "It reminds me of my son, A Yun. He hasn't been home for two years. He should be about the same height as A Lang by now."

Xie Yu said, "My eldest brother joined the army! He hasn't been home for two years." He then explained, "My eldest brother and second brother are twins."

Jiang Can thought to himself, "This Xie Xun really doesn't inherit good looks. Not only is he not good-looking, but he's also short."

Xie Xun is probably around 1.75 meters tall, though he may have grown taller later in life.

Shen Lang showered very quickly, emerging from the bathroom in just five minutes. His hair was already washed, and he casually dried it, though it was still dripping wet.

His clothes were simple: a white short-sleeved shirt and light blue jeans. He looked very youthful in them.

Whenever Shen Lang appeared, Lu Li couldn't take her eyes off him. She said, "Why isn't your hair dry? Don't catch a cold."

Jiang Can had already taken a towel to dry Shen Lang's hair. Shen Lang was tall, so he had to bend over to let Jiang Can dry his hair. He sat on the stool and obediently let Jiang Can dry his hair, making him look particularly cute.

He happened to sit next to Lu Li.

Lu Li's hands trembled slightly. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Looking at Shen Lang's profile, she seemed to see a young Xie Xuan for a moment.

Xie Xuan walked over and put his hand on Lu Li's shoulder: "Tired? Go back and rest first?"

Lu Li shook his head, unwilling to go back.

After leaving the police station, we all went to a restaurant for dinner.

At the dinner table, Jiang Can received jade jewelry from Lu Li.

A bracelet, a pair of earrings, a jade pendant, and a hairpin.

Even though Jiang Can didn't know much about jade, he could tell that this set was very precious, had no cheap feel at all, and was very beautiful.

Lu Li gently put the bracelet on Jiang Can's wrist and praised, "It's very beautiful."

Jiang Can smiled brightly, "Thank you, Auntie."

Lu Li then looked at her and smiled.

Immediately afterward, the gifts from Xie Shuo and Xi Ling arrived. Shen Lang signed the property transfer certificate and glanced at the land in Beicheng—three thousand square meters. She gasped, "Wow, that's huge!" The other two shops were also very large: one a three-story street-facing shop of over four hundred square meters, and the other a ground-floor street-facing shop of one hundred and eighty square meters.

Do wealthy families always give such extravagant gifts?

Her hands were shaking when she signed.

If Jiang Can were aloof, she would definitely refuse at this moment, saying: I save people without expecting anything in return.

But the Xie family gave her too much, and her mouth seemed to be glued shut with invisible tape, unable to utter a single word of dissent.

Xie Xun's gaze also fell on Jiang Can's hand as he signed; all these things should have been his.

Not only these, but the entire Xie family should belong to him.

He took a deep breath, almost breaking the chopsticks, and steadied himself, taking it slow.

The meal was very lavish, and Jiang Can enjoyed it immensely, as did Shen Lang.

During the meal, Xie Shuo talked to Shen Lang about things at the cotton mill, giving Shen Lang a lot of advice. He also asked Shen Lang if he had time to introduce him to some friends.

This is to support Shen Lang's business, and of course Shen Lang has the time.

When Xie Xuan asked Jiang Can about his plans to build a factory, he said, "The piece of land you're looking at is quite nice. If it weren't for the trend of going abroad, no one would sell their ancestral home."

Then the conversation turned to the West District, which is next to several cemeteries and has even cheaper houses. Some people have even left the country without selling their houses because they felt that the houses wouldn't sell for a good price.

Jiang Can was taken aback, his mind racing. Why did they say the West District?

She felt that important people wouldn't speak casually, especially Xie Xuan, who barely said a word during the meal.

Xie Shuo complained, "I have another piece of land over there, but I don't know what to do with it. I can't even sell it."

Xie Xuan stopped talking and took care of Lu Li's meal, while Lu Li took care of everyone's meal, using serving chopsticks to roll up the roast duck for everyone, and finally giving some to Shen Lang and Jiang Can.

Jiang Can took the roast duck roll, took a bite, and said it was delicious. "Thank you, Auntie."

Lu Li smiled very gently, rolled up some shredded pork with sweet bean sauce for Jiang Can and Shen Lang, and then rolled one up for everyone.

Xie Xun: "Mom, you eat too." He rolled one up for Lu Li as well.

Lu Li took the food and smiled at Xie Xun with the same gentleness.

Jiang Can had already eaten two of Lu Li's wraps, so she served Lu Li a bowl of sour soup and also served everyone else a bowl.

Lu Li sipped the soup slowly. "It's delicious, thank you."

She looked at Jiang Can with tender eyes, as if they were filled with water.

After dinner, the Xie family escorted Shen Lang and Jiang Can home. Xie Yu walked them all the way to their doorstep and then asked, "May I come in and sit for a while?"

Jiang Can is incredibly patient with his younger sister, so of course she can get in.

Xie Yu's parents also came in.

The room was very tidy. Jiang Can made flower tea for everyone, but there weren't many snacks. This was a new home, and there were no signs of anyone having lived there.

Xie Yu: "Sister, brother-in-law, shall we go to the temple next Saturday? You two come with me to burn incense for peace and donate some money to get rid of all this bad luck."

Jiang Can nodded seriously: "Which temples in the capital are efficacious?"

Xi Ling said, "Sendai Temple is very effective in praying for peace. Xiao Yu has suffered many misfortunes since childhood, and I donate to Sendai Temple every year to bless Xiao Yu with peace and safety."

Jiang Can: "Then let's go to another temple."

Xie Yu: "Mom, you've been fooled. If Sendai Temple were truly effective, would so many things have happened to me? Don't donate to Sendai Temple anymore. Let's go to Fulukuji Temple instead."

Xi Ling thought to herself that she had donated money to every temple, which was why Xiao Yu, despite her many misfortunes, always seemed to encounter benefactors who helped her. However, she didn't tell the children any more about it.

Xie Yu stayed a while longer before going home with her parents.

Jiang Can took out a set of jade jewelry from her bag, looked at it, and tried it on for a while. It was indeed quite beautiful, making her wrists look even whiter. However, she still preferred to wear gold bracelets. She would keep this one for future appreciation. The property certificates for the land and shops would have to wait for the Xie family to transfer the ownership.

She fiddled with the bracelet, remembering Xie Xuan's words: "Is the West District going to be demolished? Or is it going to be developed? Let's buy land in the West District!"

She felt that Xie Xuan's words must have a deeper meaning, otherwise why would he say such a thing?

Shen Lang: "Buy it!"

Jiang Can: "We'll buy a courtyard house too."

Shen Lang: "Buy it!"

Jiang Can: "Don't you think Xie Yu's aunt looks at us with an unusually gentle gaze? At first glance, she seemed distant, but I didn't expect her to be so gentle, and she seems to really like me."

Shen Lang cupped her face and kissed her: "Who could not like you?"

Jiang Can beamed, "Yes, yes, money loves me."

One trip out and his net worth doubled, increasing by five million.

The next day, Jiang Can asked Teacher Hu for a day off. She needed to take advantage of Shen Lang's presence to get rid of the real estate matter. If it were on her own, she really wouldn't dare to run around like that; Beijing was still quite dangerous.

If you're unlucky enough to run into a perverted boss lady again, there's no way to guard against it.

Jiang Can felt that he was having some bad luck. With Shen Lang away, Jiang Can felt that the school was the safest place.

Without asking any further questions, Teacher Hu granted Jiang Can his leave and then told him about the class: "Xiao Su's university spot in our class was taken by a high school classmate. The school has already checked the records in the local area, and Xiao Su will be coming to school this week. The police have already intervened."

Jiang Can didn't ask Teacher Hu why she told her, or whether she suspected that she wrote the letter. None of that mattered. What mattered was that the real Xiao Su's life hadn't been stolen, and his bright future belonged to him.

Jiang Can was overjoyed: "That's great!"

Teacher Hu is a good teacher, and the school is a good school, which is why they were able to find out the truth in such a short time and choose to call the police.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Can shared her joy with Shen Lang. Her suspicions were correct; that 'Xiao Su' really was an imposter, and the real Xiao Su was able to return to school.

Shen Lang: "That's great."

Cancan is so nice.

-

The atmosphere at the Xie family was not good at this moment. The Mo couple brought their youngest son, Mo Yiping, to the Xie family to apologize.

Xie Yu got into trouble when she went to the botanical garden with Mo Yiping and the others; they all grew up together in the compound.

The elders were also at ease; they couldn't keep Xie Yu confined at home forever.

Grandma Xie instructed Xie Xun and Mo Yiping to protect Xie Yu and bring her back safely.

Xie Xun is Xie Yu's cousin, and Mo Yiping is Xie Yu's cousin. With both of them around, the family is at ease.

We can't keep preventing Xie Yu from going out and having fun with other kids her age forever.

Xie Xun and Mo Yiping promised to keep a close eye on Xie Yu and not let her out of their sight, but Xie Xun had something come up and was called to school by the homeroom teacher. He left early in the morning and was unable to go to the botanical garden with them.

Mo Yiping and his group led Xie Yu out the door.

Upon arriving at the botanical garden, the seven or eight teenagers initially seemed to be having a good time. However, when Xie Yu and Xu Ruyi were playing together, Xu Ruyi fell and scraped her leg, claiming that Xie Yu had pushed her. Xie Yu quickly apologized to Xu Ruyi, explaining that she hadn't used any force. The others then began to criticize Xie Yu and hurriedly took Xu Ruyi to the hospital.

Xie Yu was left in the botanical garden.

Xie Yu didn't dare to run around. She felt she was unlucky and prone to encountering bad people, so she stayed in crowded places and called her family to wait for them to pick her up.

Xie Shuo quickly told Mo Yiping to go back and pick up Xie Yu, while he himself hurriedly drove to the botanical garden.

Mo Yiping didn't go back. He insisted on taking Xu Ruyi, who had injured her leg, to the hospital. When Xie Shuo arrived at the park, he couldn't find Xie Yu, and he couldn't get through to her on the phone.

He immediately called the police and used all of the Xie family's connections to find Xie Yu.

They searched all morning but couldn't find Xie Yu. Later, after Jiang Can called the police, the Xie family suspected that Xie Yu was also there, so they rushed to the restaurant. After the police found Xie Yu, they also contacted the Xie family, which is why the Xie family was able to arrive so quickly.

This was kept from Old Mrs. Xie. The old lady was in poor health, and Xie Yu was her precious child; she didn't want her to worry about Xie Yu.

The Mo family brought Mo Yiping to apologize, and the old lady immediately guessed what had happened. Xie Shuo and Xi Ling dared not hide it any longer and told them what had happened. The old lady wouldn't listen to them; she wanted the documents. She hit Xie Xuan with her cane, shouting, "The documents! Give me the documents!"

Xie Xuan didn't dare to dodge the blow; he took it solidly and went inside to give the old lady the detailed information.

The more the old lady looked at it, the angrier she became, and finally she threw the teapot at Mo Yiping's face.

Mo Yiping dodged the teapot, but still got splashed with tea.

The old lady was furious: "Your sister went missing once at the beginning of the year and almost didn't come back. How could you be so careless as to leave her in the park? How could you guarantee that to me?" She hugged Xie Yu: "My little Yu."

Mo Yiping lowered his head and said, "Grandma Xie, Xie Yu deliberately hurt Ruyi. Ruyi's leg is injured."

The old lady's tears streamed down her face: "My Xiaoyu wouldn't even step on an ant, would she intentionally hurt someone? Did that Ruyi break her leg or die? Did you five or six people have to go and take her away?" Pointing at Xie Xuan: "Xie Xuan, you go and investigate, investigate that Ruyi inside and out. Why did she fall now and then, but she falsely accused my Xiaoyu of falling her in the botanical garden?"

Mo Yiping retorted, "Grandma Xie, don't be unreasonable."

Mo Yiping's father was furious and reached out to hit Mo Yiping. The old lady said, "Xie Shuo, quickly find him a suitable stick to hit him with, but don't hurt Guoan's hand."

Xie Shuo quickly handed Mo Guoan a long stick, saying, "Big brother, use this."

Mo Guoan silently took the stick and chased after Mo Yiping, beating him. Mo Yiping tried to escape, but the Xie family's servants closed the door, leaving him only able to run in the living room. Although the living room was large, the space Mo Yiping could escape to became increasingly narrow, until finally Mo Guoan pinned him down on the sofa and beat him.

Mo Yiping cried out to his parents, "Mom, please save me, Mom, Mom. Xiaoyu, I was wrong, Xiaoyu, please save me."

Mo Yiping's mother looked reluctant and was about to stop her, saying, "Pingping knows he was wrong."

The old woman cried even louder, pointing at Mo Yiping and yelling, "You think Xiaoyu is so big and healthy now, but do you know how dangerous it was? If Xiaoyu hadn't been lucky enough to be rescued, what kind of suffering would she be going through? Would she even be alive?" She hugged Xie Yu, crying more and more bitterly, "That human trafficker has more than a dozen lives in his hands, all of them tortured to death. And this is just what they found out during interrogation. What about the ones they didn't find out? He killed someone this morning, and the body was chopped up and shredded. Xiaoyu, are you trying to break your grandma's heart?"

She dared not think about it.

Mo Yiping's mother dared not stop her anymore. Yes, Xie Yu was indeed alright now, but what if she had been unlucky and hadn't been rescued? The relationship between the Xie and Mo families would be completely ruined, and Xiao Yu was a child she had watched grow up.

Mo Yiping only took a few hits; he wouldn't be beaten to death or maimed by his own father.

He threw his cousin into the botanical garden and ignored Xu Ruyi; he deserved to be beaten.

Xie Yu hugged her grandmother and cried along with her, "Grandma, I won't go out anymore. I'll stay home with you. Grandma, I was so scared. I saw them stab that sister who asked the family for money to death, cut off her leg, and throw her into the meat grinder. They made me make a phone call, but I was too scared to. They were going to beat me up. That woman was so fierce and cruel. She took a needle and poked another sister, stabbing her here and there, making her bleed all over. She said it was my turn soon. I was so scared. Just as she was about to stab me, I received a call saying that another shipment had arrived and she was going to prepare it. That's when Sister Can Can was tricked into coming. That crazy woman let Huang Mao deal with me all by himself. Huang Mao held me underwater, trying to drown me. If Sister Can Can hadn't saved me, I would be dead."

Lu Li and Xi Ling wiped away their tears, and the room was filled with the sounds of women crying.

Xie Xun rushed forward, grabbed Mo Yiping by the collar, and punched him twice. "Mo Yiping, what the hell did I tell you? What did you promise me?!"

Others also brought their children to the Xie family's house to apologize and make amends, but none of the children were able to leave the Xie family home unharmed.

Their biggest mistake was leaving Xie Yu, a 16-year-old girl, in the botanical garden. Even if they had a falling out with Xie Yu, they should have sent her home first before having a fight.

Who doesn't know that Xie Yu has had a lot of misfortunes?

Xie Yu went missing before the Lunar New Year, causing a huge uproar in the city. Everyone in the compound knew about it.

After everyone left, Old Mrs. Xie hit Xie Xun with her cane, "You really trust them with Xiao Yu like that?"

Xie Xun knelt before the old lady, his back hunched as he took the beating. He was also crying, tears streaming down his face and falling to the floor. "Grandma, it's my fault, it's all my fault."

Xie Yu stopped the old lady: "Grandma, how can you blame my second brother? It's just that I'm so unlucky."

It wasn't even Mo Yiping and the others' fault, but Xie Yu found it incredibly satisfying to see them get beaten up! Their butts are bleeding, aren't they? They're happy now!

The old lady pulled Xie Xun up, her eyes filled with tears: "You silly child, I hit you twice, why didn't you run away?" Both of them were her precious children.

The old lady hugged Xie Yu, intending to sleep with him that night. Before returning to her room, she instructed Xie Xuan: "Find out about that Ruyi for me."

Lu Li wanted to check Xie Xun's injury and help him apply red medicine, but Xie Xun shook his head: "Mom, although I'm not as strong as my older brother, I'm not that delicate either. It's nothing."

Lu Li still applied red medicine to Xie Xun and told him not to overthink it and to go to sleep early.

Xie Xun: "Mom, you've had a long day, you should get some rest too."

After returning to her room, Lu Li couldn't fall asleep. Xie Xuan put his arm around her and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so preoccupied? I'm thinking of persuading my second brother to send Xiao Yu to the army."

Lu Li was shocked: "Go to the army? Xiao Yu doesn't like being a soldier."

Xie Xuan: "We're about to lose our lives, what's the point of talking about liking or disliking someone?"

At least the military base is safe enough; it's not good if something keeps happening.

Xie Xun heated up the milk, knocked on the door and came in, "Dad, Mom, I heated up some milk for you."

Lu Li smiled gently: "Thank you, Xun." He reached out and ruffled Xie Xun's hair.

Xie Xun smiled shyly, "Mom and Dad, you should go to sleep. I'm going back to my room."

Lu Li drank hot milk but still couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about Shen Lang and Jiang Can, especially the scene of Xie Xuan and Shen Lang walking out together, which echoed in her mind over and over again.

She couldn't help but ask, "Ah Xuan, do you remember Ah Xun when he was little? Didn't people always say he didn't look like our family's children?"
