“…”

"It seems like last night," Xie Zijie glanced around the big bed, "you two made up?"

Her eyes suggested a "quarrel at the head of the bed, reconciliation at the foot of the bed" mentality. An Meng quickly said, "It's not what you think!"

"Oh, I didn't think much of it," Xie Zijie said softly, amused. "Second sister-in-law, don't look at my second brother's cold face and his reticence. He's actually not that way..."

An Meng looked at her with a stiff face, feeling very dull.

[I think so too! Xie Yun is being shameless and acting like a gangster. He claims to be second, and no one dares to compete for first place!]

"Ahem," Xie Zijie laughed inwardly, paused, and continued, "Second sister-in-law, please don't tell my second brother what I said. In fact, my eldest brother, my fourth brother, and I all feel very sorry for my second brother."

An Meng knew what she was about to say.

Xie Zijie was not sure whether An Meng knew everything, so she decided to tell her everything.

She said coyly, "Back then, that master said my second brother was a 'star of misfortune'. Later, my parents got into trouble again. I was ignorant at the time and subconsciously blamed my second brother for it."

An Meng lowered her eyelids and listened silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Now that I think about it, it's quite outrageous. My parents died because of revenge from their enemies. How can I blame my second brother?"

Xie Zijie's face was filled with guilt. "And he was sent to the Huo family. I don't know what kind of life he lived there. Sigh. Later, no one took care of the family business. My eldest brother was obsessed with academics, and I was a complete loser. I had no interest in that matter. As for my fourth brother, he also entered the entertainment industry. Only my second brother could take on this important responsibility."

"After all these years, I still don't know what the definition of 'unlucky star' is, but fate is something that everyone has their own destiny. I can't just blame everyone else's fate just because I'm having a bad life. Besides, I don't want to think that way anymore."

The warm morning sun shines through, the bedroom is bright and clean, and the crisp bird calls outside the window make the room even quieter.

Xie Zijie peeked at An Meng's expression and whispered, "I think I've gone off topic. I'm not saying this to win sympathy for my second brother in front of you. I just want to say that the experiences of these years have destined my second brother to have a more complicated personality, but that doesn't mean he really has no heart..."

"I know," An Meng interrupted, raised her eyes and stared at Xie Zijie's uneasy face, and repeated, "I know."

Not sure what she knew, Xie Zijie suddenly stopped talking, feeling that she had said too much.

"It's time for breakfast," Xie Zijie said with a faint smile, "Then I'll go down first?"

"Okay, I'll go down right after I finish washing up." An Meng nodded.

The door was closed quietly, and silence filled the entire space. An Meng suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart.

However, the reality did not make her feel disappointed for long. After breakfast, An Meng specifically reminded Xie Sixian not to drive to work these days.

Xie Sixian had the same idea and agreed without hesitation.

After Xie Sixian went out to work, An Meng changed her clothes, deliberately avoided Xie Yun in her movements, and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going?" Xie Yun didn't let her go.

"..." An Meng changed her shoes silently, without looking at him, and said, "Something happened."

"I send you?"

"Uncle Zhang, just send me off. Don't you have to go to work?" An Meng said helplessly, "It seems like you haven't been working properly during this period!"

Xie Yun rolled up his shirt sleeves and raised his eyebrows. He was supposed to go to the company today, but seeing An Meng doing great things quietly, he suddenly didn't want to go anymore.

"If I have to sit in the office every day," Xie Yun joked, "what else will the employees do?"

Yes, if a company's top manager needs to keep up with the company's daily dynamics all the time, it only means that the executives below are too useless and have not been weaned.

An Meng couldn't refute, so she opened the door with her head down. Xie Yunquan took it as her consent, took a step forward with his long legs, and followed her out.

Xie Zijie had not yet used up her accumulated long annual leave. She sat on the sofa bored, staring at the backs of the two people as they left.

She also wanted to watch the fun! Following An Meng, there would definitely be fun things to watch and gossip to relieve boredom. She knew this!

But second brother’s emotional happiness is more important than just watching the fun!

It’s better not to be this light bulb!

"Where are you going?" Xie Yun turned his head and asked An Meng.

"Heaven on earth."

There was a hint of surprise in Xie Yun's eyes. This was a nightclub with extremely high consumption and luxury. What was she doing there?

As if she knew what he wanted to ask, An Meng whispered, "Go find someone."

Li Xiaolei's boyfriend isn't very loyal either. As soon as he returns to China, he goes to a place like this to have a good time!

【Men are really no good! 】

"..." Xie Yun released the handbrake and stepped on the accelerator. He drove a distance away from the Xie family before slowly saying, "I don't have this habit."

"You?" An Meng turned her head to look at him and said disdainfully, "I don't believe it."

['They all went, but I didn't go. I was afraid of getting dirty.' Yo yo yo~]

Xie Yun almost choked on his own saliva, but managed to calm down and said, "Really."

"Where's your girlfriend?" An Meng raised her eyebrows and glanced at him. "Don't tell me you're 29 and you still haven't had a girlfriend?"

【Is there something wrong? 】

【Could it be that Xie Yun is not capable? 】

An Meng chose to vent the anger she had felt last night unreasonably, and Xie Yun had no way to defend herself against this.

"No," he glanced at An Meng's expression in the rearview mirror, which made no sense. "Since I'm destined to be alone, I'd better not bring disaster to others."

The truth is far from as simple as he said.

The heavy weight of fate weighed on his back constantly, and just trying to convince himself to spend his days and nights calmly like an ordinary person was enough to burn out all his energy.

Love? Such unnecessary pastimes were not something he was qualified to consider.

As for An Meng? That was purely an accident.

An Meng thought about it for a few seconds, but still didn't say the words "Then come and harm me" that came to her mind.

It's too hurtful, she thought silently.

And of course she knew better than anyone else that the so-called "unlucky star" might be just a cover!

Thinking of the dream she had last night again, she felt a chill all over her body. What was real and what was fake?
