Several men gathered in a private room at the bar, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.
Recently, many happy events have occurred. Bai Jingyuan and Yao Wanyin got engaged and plan to get married in a year. At the same time, the two companies will also complete a comprehensive cooperation.
From now on, the Bai and Yao families will share both glory and hardship, and work together towards a brighter future.
Shen Xiao not only successfully confessed his feelings, but Huo Zhixin also lived up to expectations by getting seven A's in the spring self-enrollment exam, which led to her being exceptionally admitted to the Central City Medical College and securing a spot for a combined bachelor's and master's degree program.
She and Shen Xiao made a promise that they would pursue their doctorates together and stand on the operating table side by side in the future.
Lu Lishan was a little confused. Was this some kind of high-class romance for a top student? How old would they be after finishing their PhD? And did they even want to get married and have children?
So you're just going to dedicate your whole life to contributing to human medicine?
"So, Brother Lu, someone like you with no education can't possibly understand the joy of those academic high-achievers!" Bai Jingyuan chuckled foolishly.
Lu Lishan gave him a cold, insidious glance, and Bai Jingyuan felt a chill run down his spine.
The next second, as if a wolf had devoured a sheep, Lu Lishan ferociously pounced on Bai Jingyuan and snatched the wallet from his arms with lightning speed.
Fang Han was holding a black cat and grooming it. This was a stray cat he had adopted and named Sheriff. It ate less than Fatty Orange, but its loyalty to its owner was much stronger.
He loved watching the excitement and kept cheering from the sidelines, while Black Cat Sheriff also let out excited meows.
Huo Zhixing leisurely took out a cigarette and lit it, while Lu Lishan could only watch enviously. Having a mother-in-law backing you up really makes a difference...
Only Ye Chen remained out of place amidst the festivities, drinking alone in silence, his mind heavy with worries.
His relationship with Tang Yilan has not progressed at all. He is a eloquent lawyer, but he can't say a word in front of Tang Yilan.
Lu Lishan and Bai Jingyuan were tired from fighting, so they sat down on either side of him. They exchanged glances and immediately understood Ye Chen's feelings at that moment.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jingyuan smiled. "Tang Yilan still won't accept you?"
"Have you not inquired about her lately?" Huo Zhixing turned to look at him.
“She… went to another city to film a movie.” Ye Chen said in a low voice, “This time it’s a period drama, and there’s a scene that needs to be filmed in the desert. She’ll be gone for more than ten days. There’s no signal there, so we can’t contact her.”
"Anything else?"
"And..." This was the last thing Ye Chen wanted to mention, "Nie Xin is the male lead again."
"Heh, I think these two are quite good!" Lu Lishan chuckled deliberately. "A director and a leading man, they work together seamlessly, they're a match made in heaven!"
"Are you even cultured?" Bai Jingyuan continued to press the gun, "That's called a match made in heaven!"
Lu Lishan glared at him, and he obediently shut up.
Ye Chen glanced at Lu Lishan, his eyes filled with reproach. "Brother Shan, aren't you going to help me?"
"How do you want me to help?" Lu Lishan shook his head. "Use my current influence in the entertainment industry to trip up Nie Xin?"
"Old Ye," he said earnestly, "if you truly love Tang Yilan, so much so that you can't let go, as your brother I can help you find an opportunity. But if you're just unwilling to accept it, or rather, if you only love Tang Yilan who doesn't have feelings for you, then I advise you to stop now and not bother her!"
“Yes, I agree!” Bai Jingyuan stood on Lu Lishan’s side. “Old Ye, why did you do this in the first place? You’ve already lost someone who was sincere to you. If you want to win her back, you’ll have to show even more sincerity!”
Ye Chen was dizzy from the back-and-forth of the two. He looked up at Huo Zhixing, who didn't say anything, but a complex look flashed across his deep eyes.
"Third Brother..."
"I'm afraid I can't help you," Huo Zhixing said in a deep voice. "The reason I came here today is actually to say goodbye to you all."
"What?"
"I'm taking Can Can to England to rest and prepare for her pregnancy, so I might not see you for a while."
The group was somewhat surprised, looked at each other, and remained silent.
"Why are you all making that face? It's not like we're not coming back!" Huo Zhixing chuckled. "Cancan is afraid of the heat right now, and the humid and mild climate in England is perfect for her. My grandfather also has a lot of things to take care of, so I'm taking this opportunity to go back."
Lu Lishan looked at him for a while, then gently stepped forward, "Well... I wish you all the best. Once the baby is born, be sure to come back soon so your uncle can hold it!"
"Also, although I don't have much influence in Britain, if you ever run into trouble, just let me know, and I'll be right there!"
Huo Zhixing patted him on the shoulder and smiled.
When Lu Lishan gets serious, he's quite adorable and also very touching.
Huo Zhixing hesitated for a moment, then decided to give him a farewell hug. At that moment, Lu Lishan also opened his arms, his sincere smile making it impossible for anyone to refuse.
The two hugged each other, but the moment they parted, Huo Zhixing clearly felt that something was missing from him...
I reached out and touched it.
The cigarettes are gone!
"Lu Lishan! You son of a bitch!"
Lu Lishan, with a wallet in one hand and a cigarette in the other, was laughing heartily.
