Fang Ziyang stared at the photo of the wallet compartment in his hand, feeling confused and solemn.

Because the person in the photo in the wallet interlayer left by Yan Tong was none other than his mother!

To be precise, it should be a photo of his mother and a strange woman. In the photo, the two seemed to have a good relationship. One of them was holding a baby with a bright smile, and they looked like friends.

Although his mother died very early, Fang Ziyang still knows most of the things and friends about her during her lifetime.

After all, no matter what, his mother was a famous beauty in Jiang City's circle. The Lu family has a wide network of contacts because of their relationship as a scientific research family. With Fang Yandong's ability, it is impossible for him to hide everything about his mother.

Growing up, every year a few of his mother's friends would send him things and call him. As a result, he learned a lot about his mother's life from those aunts and uncles.

But in his memory, he didn't know that his mother had a female friend in this photo.

Judging from the quality of the photo, it was taken about twenty years ago, when he was not yet born, so the baby held by the mother in the photo should be his...brother?

Why did Yan Tong post such a photo?

Who is this photo for?

Is that person in that box?

Is there any relationship between the other party and his mother?

Why did Yan Tong do this? Will it have any effect on the other person if he sees this photo?

Given Yan Tong's personality, if this matter had no impact on him, he would never go to such great lengths to do it. In fact... the impact of this photo on him might even be fatal.

It seems that the content of the golden book is not comprehensive. Everything he currently knows may be superficial. There are many deeper things hidden deep underground, waiting for him to dig out the truth.

"Even if I die again this time, I will take all these people with me to be buried with me!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. If you don't understand, just check it out slowly!"

Fang Ziyang coldly put away the photos and threw the wallet into the trash can, his eyes unusually determined.

…

at the same time.

In the club box where a small incident just happened at the door.

Tang Xun's face was grim as he listened to what Xie Zheng said. His gentle face rarely showed any emotion. He clenched his fists to show his anger.

"Boss, what you mean is that Xie Wenxu is not indifferent to Ziyang at all, but has been thinking about cheating on her for a long time?"

Rick's expression was a bit strange. "Looking at the situation today, I'm afraid Xie Wenxu is not just thinking about cheating, but is planning to cheat, but just hasn't found a suitable opportunity yet?"

"It's not that he hasn't found the key yet, but that he found it and tried but failed. He did not offer help during the trending search incident on purpose. Xie Wenxu wanted to ruin Fang Ziyang and give himself an excuse to cancel the engagement!"

This was the first time that Tang Xun, who was always calm and peaceful, could not hide his anger in front of outsiders.

He is not someone else, but someone who has worked with Xie Zheng for many years. He has some understanding of the situation of the entire Xie family and the temperament of everyone in the family.

But now it seems obvious that they still know too little about the Xie family.

He originally thought that Xie Wenxu was just a little hypocritical and stupid, but he still had some good points. At least from the initial proposal and his performance in recent years, he felt that Xie Wenxu's feelings for Zi Yang were genuine.

Although he was not very satisfied, Zi Yang also liked the other party very much. The two of them were in love with each other, so he could only agree.

Anyway, with him around, even if Xie Wenxu is a little stupid, the situation won't be too bad when they get married in the future. For his sake, Xie Zheng promised him that after the Xie family split up, he would help Xie Wenxu take control of the overall situation of the second house and get rid of Ms. Zhou's control.

But no one expected that Xie Wenxu would be such a weak-minded and vicious person!

He wants to cancel the engagement but doesn't want to be branded as a cheater, so he uses his former lover as a stepping stone!

"This shameless fellow!"

Tang Xun was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

Xie Zheng's serious expression didn't get any better, and he said in a low voice, "Maybe it's more than that..."

To be honest, he had never expected that his adopted son, whom he had never paid attention to, would be such a thing in private. He was indeed the one "carefully selected" by Ms. Zhou, and he was stupid and vicious by nature.

Xie Zheng poured a glass of water for Tang Xun and continued,

"I think there may be something between Fang Ziyang and Xie Wenxu that we don't know. Last time we met, I was intimidated by his unconventional behavior. When I saw him again today, I found that Fang Ziyang was very angry. When he looked at Xie Wenxu, he had a strong hatred in his heart."

"Although he tried his best to hide it, I still found out. The emotion was so strong that I don't know what words to use to describe it. I can only say... it made me tremble."

Xie Zheng's face was stern. "Tang Xun, do you understand what I mean?"

Tang Xun's face turned pale.

Rick also opened his eyes wide, making Xie Zheng feel trembling. To what extent was that?

Outsiders may not be very clear about what kind of person Xie Zheng is, but those who are close to him know it very clearly. Xie Zheng's calmness and strength are almost beyond ordinary people's imagination. So far, they have never seen anything that can really shake him.

He was able to hold the position of the head of the Xie family at the age of 28 despite being suppressed since childhood, he was able to empty the ancestral property and split the family because he was tired of those filthy people in the family, and he was able to quickly calm down and give a thunderous counterattack after being stabbed in the back by a close friend...

It can be said that Xie Zheng's calmness and willpower are unimaginable.

However, it was such a person like Xie Zheng who was influenced by an emotion and spoke trembling words. What a terrifying fact it was.

Thinking back to the boy who made him change his mind again and again after just two meetings, Xie Zheng felt very complicated.

It was also the first time he met someone who could so easily arouse his emotions.

Xie Zheng rubbed his temples.

"I have already sent someone to investigate the matter. Before that, Tang Xun, I hope you can stay quiet and don't do anything until the matter is fully investigated. If necessary, I will intervene for you."

"But……"

"No buts."

Xie Zheng said seriously, "Tang Xun, you are too concerned. Fang Ziyang is not as weak as you think. On the contrary, if you intervene hastily, unexpected accidents may occur, and he will know of your existence. How will you explain it to him then?"

"After all, even Rick and I can't accept and understand why you are so good to him. Will he trust a stranger who only gives to him without asking for anything in return?"

Rick nodded in agreement, and with an expectant inducement, "Thanks, that's right, Don. Unless you can tell me why you're protecting him?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xun immediately pursed his lips and kept silent.

Obviously, it is impossible to get him to tell the reason. Even if the people in front of him are his closest and best friends and brothers, he cannot express his true feelings.

This is the reaction every time it's mentioned.

Xie Zheng and Rick have long been accustomed to it. There is disappointment, but not too much. After all, it is all expected.

Tang Xun is always stubborn and annoying, but this is also his charm. You can become true friends and brothers with others without worrying about being betrayed.

However, considering how much Tang Xun cares about Fang Ziyang, Xie Zheng feels that he should still be on guard.

"Tang Xun, if you can't control yourself and intervene, then I suggest you go back to the M country branch with Rick and stay there for a while..."

Rick's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded quickly.

"Go back! Tang, I'll take you to Phil Manor to attend my uncle's fifth wedding. Although my uncle is a little annoying, I have to admit that he is really a very romantic person. Every wedding is always a surprise. I heard that my uncle has a new male lover this time. The other party will wear a skirt. I have seen the photo and it is really beautiful. I think we can refer to it in the future... oh!"

The sound of excitement eventually turned into a scream of pain.

Tang Xun couldn't control the bulge on his temple and kicked Rick hard on the calf, this brainless guy.

Xie Zheng smiled when he saw this.

Life seems interesting sometimes.

…

The other end.

After Yan Tong left the club, thinking that everything was going well, his bad mood finally became much happier because something good was about to happen.

Although he felt a little guilty inside, the guilt in his heart disappeared when he thought that he had cut off Fang Ziyang's greatest support. No matter how much Fang Ziyang jumped around in the future, he would never be able to create any huge waves and would never be able to shine so recklessly.

Extreme times call for extreme measures. He cannot allow Fang Ziyang to grow up just because of a little guilt. Sacrificing one person can save so many people. He did nothing wrong.

Yan Tong comforted himself in his heart.

But the good mood that had just emerged was ruined when I returned home and saw the house was in a mess.

When Zheng Yating saw her son coming back, she also roared with anger.

"Yan Tong, where's the box? Where's the box where I keep my old things? Where did you take it? Find it out quickly! I told you not to touch my box. Why are you getting more and more disobedient as you grow older? Why are you touching my things!"

She is obviously a beautiful woman with charm and lovable appearance, but when she gets angry, she acts like a shrew with no manners at all.

Yan Tong was really fed up with this cheap mother. If she wasn't related to him by blood, if he didn't still have to rely on this mother to live, and if he hadn't got her ID card yet, he would have wanted to pack up and leave a long time ago.

The original owner's mother was simply a psychopath. She would either lose her temper and go shopping all day long, or tell him in a nasty way how cruel Fang Ziyang's mother was to them and their son, how hard and miserable his mother was, and that he must study hard and return to the Fang family... She was almost crazy.

Originally, he really didn't want to listen to Zheng Yating and go back to the Fang family, but now he had to do it.

"I don't know where the box you mentioned is, and I don't have your room key. If you lose it, don't blame me."

Impatiently glancing at the roaring shrew Zheng Yating, Yan Tong walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa, looking coldly at his middle-aged but well-maintained mother.

"I don't want to argue with you. Sit down calmly and tell me what happened again. I want to go back to the Fang family..."
