After settling Lu Baoyun and Wu Ma in, Ruan Jiaojiao placed the key on the table in the entryway, then made an excuse to go downstairs to buy some food and called Huo Jingxi.

He called Lu Yi countless times, but Lu Yi didn't answer.

For her, this was no big deal, because she didn't know what to say to Lu Yi.

Your Lu family's house was robbed?

Your fourth sister is homeless and has moved into a villa you may have forgotten about?

Let's ask him how he would feel if the Lu family were truly gone...

She entered the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. "Brother Jingxi, why did it take you so long to answer the phone!"

Huo Jingxi glanced at Liang Shiyue, who was sleeping on another hospital bed, and said in a low voice, "Going to chat with the King of Hell? Don't you have anything to do?"

Ruan Jiaojiao shrugged.

"Baoyun and the Lu family's nanny had nowhere to go, so I kindly helped them out. By the way, is Lu Yi here?"

Huo Jingxi scratched his head. "He's not here, he just left. Call him later!"

Ruan Jiaojiao said angrily, "What's wrong with him? Such a big thing happened to the Lu family, and he didn't even react. Does he have any humanity at all?!"

Having spent quite a bit of time with Lu Baoyun, Ruan Jiaojiao quite liked her poetic and artistic personality.

Although you could tell she had toned down her domineering ways, she was much easier to get along with than the average young lady from a wealthy family.

The project they worked on together made a lot of money.

Ruan Jiaojiao regarded Lu Baoyun as her best friend from the bottom of her heart.

"If he had any humanity, the grass on his grave would be two meters tall by now. He's gone now, and I'm busy here!"

Huo Jingxi hung up the phone and turned around to find that both hospital beds were empty.

"Big brother? Liang?"

Huo Jingxi threw off the covers and ran to the door to look around.

Seeing that no one was in the hallway, he ran to the window and saw a taxi drive away. His heart skipped a beat.

Just as she returned to the hospital bedside and changed her clothes, Liang Shiyue came in carrying two meals.

"Second brother, eldest brother said he's going to see someone and asked me to keep an eye on you."

A hint of worry crept into Liang Shiyue's innocent eyes. "If you run away, I can't stop you... If you all leave, I'll have to go find Lu Yi."

Huo Jingxi tossed his hospital gown onto the bed, took the food from her hands, and went to the small living room.

"You've misunderstood. I was just stretching my muscles. Come on, sit down and eat. Oh, this sweet and sour pork rib looks delicious. I've been craving it."

Liang Shiyue's eyes were bloodshot, and her nose was red.

When he spoke, his heart seemed to be hanging in his chest, and his voice was always trembling.

Seeing her shoveling white rice into her mouth, Huo Jingxi took a new pair of chopsticks and put a piece of meat into her bowl.

Liang Shiyue paused and looked up.

Then he quickly bent down, pushed the meat aside, and continued eating his rice.

"Don't blame Lu Yi, he has his difficulties. If you want a home, I can give you one."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jingxi's lips twitched involuntarily.

"I mean, you could be my dad's goddaughter. He's praised you at home many times. It's much better than what you are now..."

Liang Shiyue placed the lunchbox on the table, wiped the rice grains from her mouth, and looked serious.

“I have a home, I have my own home. I am not anyone’s burden, I just…”

She just craved a little warmth.

My home in Jiangzhou is full of traces left by my mother. I don't need to go back; I can clearly imagine her nagging with my eyes closed.

At that time, she had a huge argument with her mother because of Lu Yi.

They even tore the photo of the mother and daughter to shreds and threw it all over her face.

Now that her mother is gone, Liang Shiyue didn't even get to see her one last time. How can she ever make up for this regret in the rest of her life?

Her nose stung, and the emotions she had been suppressing suddenly burst forth in front of Lu Yi.

She put down her lunchbox and chopsticks, and burst into tears.

There's no one she cares about here, so she doesn't need to worry about other people's feelings.

The cries were mournful, and Huo Jingxi was in a dilemma.

Thinking that he had said something inappropriate that touched a nerve, he rubbed his hands together and sat there motionless...

Lu Yi's car hadn't even left the city when Lin Shu called.

"Third Brother, Lu Han wants to board a ship at some random dock; we probably won't be able to catch up."

Lu Yi paused for a moment, then said, "Find a way to stop them. Send me the address!"

The location was sent over very quickly.

Lu Yi followed the shortest route and sped off.

After half a day of fuss, it was already getting dark.

Qin Fengying had only a simple band-aid on the wound on her neck.

After getting off the bus, I almost twisted my ankle because I lost my footing.

"Han'er, is there a boat in a place like this?"

The wind blew up her thin dress, and she shivered, glancing around in a panic.

Lu Han stood with his hands in his pockets, exuding a roguish and cunning aura from head to toe.

“I wouldn’t come if it weren’t for the money. As soon as the money arrives, I’ll call the boatman to come over.”

He firmly believed that his own mother would never betray him.

That "Cuihua" was even more greedy than him, and her act of robbing the Lu family of everything before leaving was exactly what he wanted.

Knowing she was going abroad to enjoy a life of luxury, how could she possibly abandon her money-making son and run away on her own!

Lu Baofei called the finance department again, urging her to keep a close eye on the account.

Seeing Lu Han's arrogant attitude, I wish I could just step on the gas and run him over.

She noticed her mother trembling as she hugged herself, and her agitated mood instantly subsided.

He turned off the car lights, got out of the car, and walked up to the two people, craning his neck to look at them.

"This beach isn't developed, but that doesn't mean it's unmanaged. Lu Han, is the boat you found reliable?"

Lu Han looked impatient.

"Do you think I'm as brainless as you, handing the company over to the Huo family? I really don't know if you were after that blind cripple or someone else's godson!"
