"Uncle Wang, it's me, Xiangxiang!"

On her way back to the Su family from the Yan family, Su Xiangxiang had imagined many problems she might face this time, but she never expected that she wouldn't even be able to get through the door.

The butler became Uncle Wang.

The cast iron gate remained completely unmoved.

Su Xiangxiang realized that things might really be bad, and hurriedly said to the housekeeper, "They are not answering my calls. Please tell my parents that I know I was wrong and I have reflected on my actions."

The butler remained silent.

He'd heard the same thing so many times he was sick of it.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Su Xiangxiang continued, "Did Second Brother ask you to stop me? Hasn't he forgiven me yet? I already know I was wrong and I've been punished. I don't even care about him sending me to the detention center, so why is he still holding a grudge against me for drugging me?"

She also said that she didn't really want to harm Su Shaoze; she just wanted to protect him, but she used the wrong methods.

The housekeeper listened quietly, and only after she calmed down did he tell her his arrangements.

Su Xiangxiang's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

"What?"

"Rent a house?"

"What about my houses?"

By this point, she naturally knew what she needed to protect.

Even if she couldn't get into the Su family's house, she still had the house and car they had given her, the pocket money they had given her, and some investment projects they had introduced her to...

As long as she has money, she can still do whatever she wants.

Killing Yan Can is just a matter of adding a few zeros.

But the butler's next words struck her like a bolt from the blue, shattering her spirit and leaving her utterly terrified.

"Your belongings have been packed and delivered to the rental apartment."

"This refers to the clothes and shoes you wore, as well as jewelry, baby accessories, and some other collectibles, all of which have been auctioned off."

"As for the house you mentioned..."

He paused, glanced at Su Xiangxiang's face, which looked as if she had been struck by lightning, and continued, "As well as the car you didn't mention, and the money that never belonged to you, have all been recovered."

Su Xiangxiang felt dizzy and her ears were ringing.

What does "auctioning all" mean?

What does it mean to recover all of them?

What exactly does the Su family want?

Finally, all she heard was the butler's condescending voice, as if he were bestowing a handout.

"Logically speaking, even if the Su family didn't give you a single penny, no one could say anything about an ungrateful wretch like you. But considering our years of friendship, we've still arranged a place for you and left you enough money for living expenses. You'd better take care of yourself."

The housekeeper left.

Su Xiangxiang suddenly went berserk, punching and kicking the cast iron door while cursing incessantly.

On what grounds?

She only did one wrong thing, why should all her things be taken back?

How dare they say they care about our years of friendship? Do the Su family really have any feelings for her? They're a bunch of cold-blooded monsters!

But no matter how much she raged and vented, it was all in vain.

The Su family's doors were forever closed to her.

...

Upon returning from his vacation, Su Shaoze received a call from his housekeeper at the airport.

"Have they left?" he asked.

The housekeeper said, "After all that commotion, Chen Zhou finally picked her up."

Upon hearing this name, Su Shaoze and Yan Zhuo both glanced at each other secretly, surprised that they could leave the house so quickly.

It's unreasonable, but it happened.

The butler said he had arranged for people to monitor and follow them, so that they could immediately learn of any movements by Su Xiangxiang and Chen Zhou and take appropriate measures.

Su Shaoze: "Okay, we'll talk about the rest when we get back."

He then gestured to Yan Zhuo, "Take Can Can into the car first."

If we don't leave soon, we'll be stuck at the airport by fans again.

Thanks to Su Shaoyang's mindless propaganda, his fans have developed a keen eye for detail.

Even though Yan Can was wearing a mask, she could still be recognized.

This made their carefully planned trip rushed and stressful, and they always encountered some obstacles and ambushes whenever they went out.

Yan Zhuo would always carry Yan Can on his back and run away, leaving Yan Can behind to draw fire.

The journey was busy but also joyful, with countless happy moments, but he really didn't want to experience being chased by fans again.

...

"You're all back?"

When the three returned home, not only were Su's mother and Su Shaoyang there, but even Su's father and Su Shaozhou, who had been abroad that morning, were sitting on the sofa.

Su's mother called Yan Can to her side and asked her if she was tired and happy.

Yan Can said, "The ancient city behind is nice. The scenery is not as gorgeous as the newly built ancient streets in the city, but the ancient buildings are well-arranged, the gardens are beautiful, and the murals are unparalleled. It's a very good experience."

Su's mother went with them, but something came up and she had to come back after a day of fun.

Then she showed the photos she had taken to Su's mother.

Su's mother flipped through a few pages and suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch!"

"Isn't this Xi Bai?"

Upon hearing this, Su Shaoze immediately looked at her.

Yan Can and Yan Zhuo, on the other hand, seemed to have known all along, so they showed no unusual expressions.

Su Shaoyang leaned closer for a closer look, nodded, and said, "It looks like him. He went out to play too. Why didn't he contact Second Brother and the others?"

"Judging from his conversation with someone, he might be working," said Su's mother.

But as she flipped through the pages, she found Xi Bai's image in different background panels.

If you blur out the other unfamiliar people, these photos look like pictures of Xi Bai and Yan Can together. Every single one shows him standing firmly behind Yan Can, gazing at her with tender eyes.

Su's mother suddenly felt her throat was dry and didn't speak for a long time.

Su Shaoyang, however, quickly stole a glance at Yan Zhuo, and only when he saw that Yan Zhuo did not react did he feel relieved.

Xi Bai is also very good.

Very good.

He stood by Yan Zhuo.

"They've been playing for a few days and are tired. Let Can Can and Yan Zhuo go and rest first."

Su's father said.

This is to get the two of them away.

His feelings for Yan Can stemmed from a desire to protect and cherish her.

My feelings for Yan Zhuo stemmed from a desire to protect him.

Otherwise, if Yan Zhuo stays here, Chen Zhou, who can barely walk upright, will have to go through another brush with death.

But Yan Can and Yan Zhuo were well aware of all this.

"Let's soak our feet first."

"Was the force appropriate?"

Yan Zhuo filled a tub with hot water and let Yan Can sit down to soak her feet, while he half-squatted down to massage her calves.

"They're doing this for your own good."

Hitting someone is nothing, but killing someone is a lot of trouble.

Yan Zhuo nodded. "I know."

Yan Can gently tugged at his ear, "You know, but you won't change, will you?"

"Um."

"Won't."

Yan Zhuo has always been completely honest with Yan Can.

There are no secrets between them.

Yan Can sighed and said helplessly, "Actually, I could have done it myself, you know I can."

She might even be more ruthless than Yan Zhuo.

This is their rule of survival.

If you don't scare your enemies, the troubles will never end. A one-time solution is the best choice.

Yan Zhuo raised his head, looked at her deeply, and spoke in a gentle but unquestionable tone.

"I know."

“But they must die by my hand.”
