Xu Zhixu nodded slightly, a look of deep fondness on his face. He said, "If you need anything, be sure to tell me."
Bai Lan smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, I know. I will miss you too, and you should take care of yourself too."
The two of them chatted for a long time before ending the call.
Xu Zhixu's heart was filled with warmth, a feeling of being surrounded by love. He looked at the wallpaper on his phone screen, where Bai Lan's smile was still visible, and her sweet voice seemed to still echo in his ears. He took a deep breath, knowing that with such a woman by his side, his life was enough.
Xu Zhixu put away his phone and prepared to head to the hotel. It was already late, and the streetlights cast long, dappled shadows on the trees, casting a rather lonely shadow on him. He had taken just two steps when he suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed to his right, a serious expression on his face.
"Who sent you?" He growled, his voice carrying an authority that could not be ignored.
"you guess."
A dark figure walked out from the corner. It was a tall man with a playful smile on his face. He was wearing a black jacket and a hat on his head, covering most of his face.
He slowly approached Xu Zhixu, each step steady and powerful.
When the man finally took off his hat, revealing a familiar face, Xu Zhixu frowned deeply.
A familiar face appeared in Xu Zhixu's sight.
"It's you?" Xu Zhixu frowned upon seeing this man. He looked at the man with a complicated expression, a hint of obvious disgust flashing in his eyes.
However, when Xu Zhixu saw that this man was not Gu Jisui's man, he felt relieved. He and Gu Jisui already had enough conflicts, and he didn't want to cause more disputes with other people.
"I thought you were a forgetful person. Some time ago, my sister went to jail instead of Bai Lan. Didn't you say you would provide us with food and clothing? Now we have no money. Why haven't you sent money to our family yet?" The man raised his eyebrows, a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth.
"Do you want us to make a big fuss before you'll actively transfer the money?" He looked at Xu Zhixu with a provocative attitude.
Xu Zhixu looked at the man in front of him and felt helpless.
Of course he remembered this man. He had helped this man and his sister in Bai Lan's case, and he had promised them a comfortable life. But now, they appeared here, threatening him and demanding more money.
Xu Zhixu looked at him with a hint of helplessness and irritation in his eyes.
He sighed and said, "You guys are so extravagant with your money. I didn't expect you to spend it this way at first! I'm short on cash now, so please be frugal and I'll transfer the money to you later."
After hearing this, the man sneered. He walked closer to Xu Zhixu, almost getting close to his face and said, "Who are you kidding? Your company is so big, how could you be out of money?"
Xu Zhixu looked at him, feeling annoyed, and said indifferently: "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."
A fierce look flashed in the man's eyes. He stared at Xu Zhixu, as if trying to find a trace of panic in his eyes. But Xu Zhixu's eyes were calm and firm, and he could not find any flaws.
The man curled his lips and turned to walk away. He cursed softly as he walked away, "Rich people are unreliable. Their nice words about having everything they need are all lies. If it weren't for you, my sister wouldn't have been sentenced this long."
Xu Zhixu took a deep breath. He knew that the other party was threatening him.
"How much do you want?"
The man raised a smug smile and said, "Give us one million first, and we promise not to harass you during this time."
Xu Zhixu smiled bitterly. He knew the man was blackmailing him. However, he couldn't let him continue to pester him. So, he said in a deep voice, "I can give you one million, but if you continue to spend money lavishly and come to me every now and then, I tell you, I really don't have any more money to give you."
A hint of hesitation flashed across the man's eyes, but he quickly nodded, "Okay, we'll try our best."
Xu Zhixu took out a bank card and handed it to the man, "There's one million in it, you can withdraw it anytime."
The man took the bank card and a happy smile appeared on his face. He turned and left, his back disappearing into the night.
Xu Zhixu watched the man walk away, feeling a deep sense of helplessness in his heart. He knew that the relationship between them was like an unbreakable thread, always entangled with him, making him unable to break free.
Otherwise, just send them abroad together!
…
It was a sunny day, and Su Yao was sitting at her computer desk in the office building, working.
Gu Jisui walked out of the president's office and saw Su Yao. Why did this profile look so familiar?
The sunlight shines through the window onto Su Yao's face, making her skin look even more delicate. Gu Jisui secretly sighs in his heart that this girl looks so much like Bai Lan, almost 70% similar.
Slowly approaching Su Yao, he was wearing a dark suit, calm and composed.
Su Yao and Bai Lan do look somewhat similar, both have that elegant temperament like a chrysanthemum, but Su Yao's face is rounder, making her look more youthful and lively.
Su Yao's facial features are very delicate, and her big, watery eyes sparkle with shyness. Her long hair falls on her shoulders, and a few strands of hair gently fall on her face, adding a bit of softness. Her lips are slightly raised, with a faint smile, which makes her look very cute.
Her eyes are typical almond-shaped, bright and gentle, and looking at them for a long time seems to make people intoxicated.
Su Yao felt Gu Jisui's gaze, she lowered her head shyly, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, her face became even redder, and she lowered her head shyly.
She thought Gu Jisui was attracted by her beauty, and she felt a little proud, but also a little nervous.
Gu Jisui coughed lightly, breaking the silence.
"Su Yao, you've worked hard." He spoke slowly, his voice gentle.
Su Yao raised her head and looked at Gu Jisui in surprise. She didn't expect him to talk to her, and she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.
"No, no, it's not hard." She stammered.
Gu Jisui smiled slightly. He walked to another empty desk and sat down. He began to look through the documents, glancing over from time to time. He had an idea in his mind to plot against Xu Zhixu.
Su Yao continued to focus on her computer screen, but occasionally stole a glance at Gu Jisui.
Time passed unknowingly, and the atmosphere in the office was a little subtle. Su Yao's heartbeat began to accelerate. She tried to control her emotions, but deep in her heart, a voice whispered, "Don't waste time, go up and confess, otherwise you won't have a chance."
