As it got darker, the lights in the living room were turned on.
In the room.
After the conversation, Lan Guoxiong asked with some doubt: "I remember that you have a good relationship with the Zhai family. Logically, wouldn't it be better to find him, or the Mu family who has a close relationship with him?"
The Lan family cannot compare to the Mu family, or even the Zhai family. After all, they are in Beijing, and the Zhai family has people in the core.
Chen Xingzhou lowered his eyes and smiled: "Old Lan, this is the reward that the Lan family wants to give to me."
Lan Guoxiong choked. Yes, he had done a favor for the Lan family, so he should be rewarded. As for the rest, it was none of their business.
He smiled helplessly: "I said too much."
Shen Xingzhou smiled without saying anything.
Among the Zhai family, he only has a good relationship with Zhai Jiu, and has a faint relationship with others. There are too many members of the Zhai family, and everyone has different ideas. He doesn't want to get too involved with them.
The current head of the Zhai family, Zhai Zhengrong, did offer to help him, but he would not accept it. Even from the current Lan family, he only wanted his share of the rewards.
Because if I agree to their other condition, I will be very successful in the first few years, but what about the future?
The end of the prosperous past is almost foreseeable.
I'm afraid I'll be controlled by others for the rest of my life.
As for the Mu family, let alone him, he doesn't want to get any benefit from it.
Although he was not afraid of being controlled by the Mu family, he even had some expectations, because the future Mu family would belong to Fu Xiao.
Being under her control is what I want.
He is not afraid of being accused of being a gigolo, but as long as he takes a bite of this meal, he will have no hope of possessing the most precious treasure of the Mu family.
He raised his right hand and unconsciously twirled the beads on his left wrist. His eyes deepened and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Lan Zhuojing stood up and poured him another cup of tea, then began a casual chat.
The atmosphere was no longer serious.
Lan Shuyin came to the reception room and secretly opened a crack in the window to look inside.
The moment she saw the man, she was slightly stunned, her eyes full of amazement.
He sat on the chair with his eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. From Lan Shuyin's direction, she could only see his profile. Under the light, his eyes looked sparkling, his eyelashes were raised and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, which made him look a little cold, yet inexplicably charming.
She came to the door and looked inside through the crack, now she could see the man's full appearance.
Those sparkling peach blossom eyes, those thick, ink-like eyebrows, that tall and firm nose, and that perfect jawline.
This man was more handsome than any other man she had ever seen.
I don’t know what Lan Zhuojing said, but he paused slightly, and the curve of his lips became more obvious.
Lan Shuyin's face turned red quietly. He looked very handsome when he smiled. His sharp and deep eyebrows were slightly curved, and his thick eyelashes like a fan trembled slightly, making her heart itch.
She suddenly thought of the person she was dating now. In comparison, he was not even half as good as the one in front of her.
While she was daydreaming, Madam Lan's voice came from behind her, "Shuyin, what are you doing lying here?"
Lan Shuyin looked panicked for a moment, then she smiled and shouted, "Grandma, I'm just passing by..."
Old Madam Lan looked at her seriously. She was a person who paid great attention to rules and etiquette. She disliked some of Lan Shuyin's behaviors. She told the eldest son several times to discipline her children well. However, Lan Zhuojing did not know how to discipline his children, so he left it to Yu Wenwen.
Judging from her behavior, she must not have been taught well.
But children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She is so old now, and now that she has the youngest son, she doesn't care much about the family affairs of her other sons.
It is difficult to be a mother-in-law these days. Although she has many rules of her own, if she were to ask her daughter-in-law to follow them, she is afraid that it would cause unrest in her son's family.
He said to Lan Shuyin indifferently: "There are guests here, please leave."
Walk into the room.
Lan Zhuochi ignored Lan Shuyin, snorted lightly, and followed her into the reception room.
Lan Shuyin bit her lip, stamped her feet, and turned away.
Madam Lan walked into the room, and Lan Zhuojing stood up to help her, but she dodged and walked straight to Chen Xingzhou, and gave a thank you salute, "Thank you, benefactor, for saving my son."
Chen Xingzhou dodged the greeting and helped the man up with both hands. "You are too kind,"
Madam Lan waved away Lan Zhuojing who was approaching again, and said solemnly, her eyes red, "If my son doesn't come back, I will die with him. Shen family boy, are you able to accept this gift..."
Her voice was a little hoarse. She recalled how she had been worried and sick every day during the days when Lan Zhuochi was abducted. If she hadn't received the news from Hong Kong City, she might not have been able to hold on.
Seeing her like this, Lan Guoxiong hurriedly stepped forward to support her and comforted her softly: "Mother, it's okay, the youngest is okay, don't worry, I will repay Comrade Shen well, don't get excited, be careful not to faint again."
There was an expression of emotion in Lan Zhuojing's eyes, and he sighed slightly.
Lan Zhuochi stood in front of her and acted coquettishly and cutely, only then did he coax Old Madam Lan into submission.
Looking at the deep love between the couple and the loving mother and filial son, Shen Xingzhou felt mixed emotions. They looked like a loving family, but what kind of filthiness could have caused the Yi brothers and sisters to fall to this point?
It was rare for him to feel unfair for the Yi brothers and sisters.
How did these brothers and sisters become victims in this seemingly harmonious family?
When they met for the first time, Shen Xingzhou didn’t dare to judge people based on superficial impressions, nor did he dare to speak casually.
No matter what, your own safety is the most important.
After another round of greetings, Shen Xingzhou said goodbye.
Knowing that he had important matters to attend to, the Lan family did not force him to stay, but only invited him to visit the Lan family again next time.
