"What do you mean by that?" Xu Mo narrowed his eyes, but a murderous intent arose deep in his heart. He suddenly had the urge to kill Xu Feng. What was going on?

"You may not be the smartest, but you're ruthless when it comes to your methods! You know your parents and sisters hate you, so you bought a villa across the street and then spent the money you extorted from them, all so you could flaunt yourself in front of the Xu family every day, right?" Xu Feng chuckled, hands behind his back. "You did all this to spite them, and then, so you could stir up some trouble and watch some drama when you're bored! Too bad you didn't get to watch any drama yesterday, right? So you were disappointed, weren't you?"

"Hehe." Xu Mo neither admitted nor denied it, but instead looked at Butler Li beside him: "Butler Li, how much money did the Xu family pay you? Is it worth you working so hard for them? Why don't you come and work for me, and I'll give you double the salary, how about that?"

"This...this..." Butler Li admitted that he was tempted, but he felt that Xu Mo must have misunderstood something. The reason he sent people to keep watch yesterday was entirely because Young Master Feng reminded him, not because of his own ability.

"100,000! I'll give you 100,000 a month. Come and work for me, how about it? Of course, if the work goes smoothly, I can give you 200,000, or even 1 million a month!" Xu Mo began to paint a rosy picture.

As long as Butler Li agrees, he will fire him after squeezing out all of Butler Li's value. Then, even if Butler Li wants to return to the Xu family, the Xu family will not want someone who has betrayed the enemy! Xu Mo can then achieve his goal, eliminating Butler Li as a pawn and weakening the Xu family's strength at the same time!

Butler Li turned his gaze to Xu Feng, and then glanced at Xu Mo a few more times. As a doctoral graduate, he was not stupid and naturally knew which place to choose between the two. However, he was genuinely tempted by the 100,000 yuan a month offer!

Xu Mo asked impatiently, "Have you thought it through?"

Butler Li shook his head: "Thank you for your generosity, Young Master Mo, but I'm the kind of person who tends to side with the winner, so I'm sorry, I can't work for you!"

"Brother, you're really wicked. Too bad, Butler Li isn't stupid. He didn't choose the 100,000 a month you offered, but instead insisted on staying and working for the Xu family." Xu Feng shrugged and laughed. "Also, brother, I have something I want to ask you. Why do you seem to have found complete liberation after leaving the Xu family? Now you don't even hesitate to do bad things!"

"What nonsense are you spouting? I don't understand what you mean at all!" Xu Mo's eyes were cold as he leaned against the villa door. "Brother, can you tell me what you meant by what you just said?"

“What do you mean, brother? Don’t you understand? I know you’ve hated them since you were little. You hate that Mom and Dad threw you in the trash can, so you want to get revenge on them. Even the fact that you were found when you were 14 was because you were searching for missing children cases from 14 years ago, and that’s how you finally found the Xu family’s information! Then, you used other means to expose a piece of information to the Xu family: the child who went missing in front of XX Hospital 14 years ago is in XX Orphanage.” Xu Feng explained calmly.

"Oh?" Xu Mo's eyes twitched, and an unnatural smile appeared on his face: "Xu Feng, your imagination is really quite good. However, I have never done any of the things you mentioned. As for why the Xu family brought me back, you should ask them, not me!"

"Am I right? Or am I wrong? Only you, brother, know the truth, don't you? So in a way, we're both two-faced. I, with my high IQ, pretend to be a cunning girl, while you, who are determined to destroy the Xu family, pretend to be a good child. In reality, your mind is darker and more twisted than anyone else's. And I can probably understand you, after all, you were abandoned as a child, and even after returning to the Xu family, it was to reclaim everything that belonged to you. You thought you could get revenge on everyone in this family by integrating into it. But your idea failed. You probably didn't even realize that you've been contributing to this family all along, so why is everyone in this family blind to your efforts?" Xu Feng said this with a nonchalant air.

Xu Mo was silent for a moment, then looked up and stared into Xu Feng's eyes, suddenly spread his arms and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Hahahahaha!"

"Little brother, you're really clever! You guessed it all! But can you tell me why I lost to you? I've given my all to the Xu family, so why did they choose you and abandon their own son?"

Xu Feng gestured to Butler Li to leave with his eyes.

After glancing at Xu Feng, Butler Li turned and went back into the villa.

Xu Feng then walked to the iron gate, staring intently at Xu Mo: "Brother, I actually admire you quite a bit! How could you pretend to be nonchalant and lie on the ground when you were about to be beaten to death? Your ability to endure is terrifying!"

"But brother, do you want to know why you lost to me? [Because I acted stupid enough, bad enough, and manipulative enough; because I was full of flaws and not good enough], so they thought I could control them, and therefore chose me instead of you!"

"Of course, that's just the first reason. There's a second reason, for example, my initial assumption was that [they know they abandoned you, and they also know that you returned to the Xu family for revenge, so they beat you to death and tortured you to death]. Even if they torture you to death, they don't care!"

"The third reason is a bit cruel, but you have to accept it, my foolish brother. [Your father is afraid of losing control of the family, your mother is afraid of losing her voice in the family, and your sisters know their own mediocrity and are afraid that you, being too outstanding, will steal your parents' love. They are also afraid that your return will result in them receiving very little of the family property.] So, it's not that your family didn't see your efforts, but rather that they saw your efforts and still chose to give you up!"

"There might be a fourth reason, a fifth reason, a sixth reason, a seventh reason... So, the question is, do I still need to explain the later reasons? No, I don't need to, right? Just the first three reasons, any one of them, is enough to make them abandon their conscience, target you, mess with you, and take everything you bring for granted, but give you nothing in return!"

"Crunch—crunch—"

As Xu Mo lowered his head to ponder the problem, he clenched his fists tightly.

The problem that had troubled him throughout his past and present lives had clearly been solved by Xu Feng, so why was he still so unwilling to accept it?
