Chapter 7: A dog at heart, a pet rabbit was taken to a wolf's den...

Needless to say, Chi Jue was wary of and hostile toward Xu Huaiting; anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

No wonder he's so nervous.

Mr. Xiao Sheng straightened his clothes, found a chair and sat down.

As soon as I looked over there, I realized that I was already getting too excited, but Xu Huaiting, on the other hand, had his arms firmly around the waist of the beautiful girl, his head slightly raised, and his gray eyes looking at her with unpredictable emotions, which would make anyone shudder.

In his early years, Xu Huaiting was thrown into the army by the old man of the Xu family to hone his skills for a few years, and then stayed on the front line there for two years. Later, he was injured and retired to take over the Xu family's business in Beijing. It has been the past two years that he has settled down.

When he was young, he was not the reserved and refined man he is now.

To Mr. Xiao Sheng, this guy is a dog at heart.

There is a vicious dog inside. No one is allowed to enter.

Who dares to get involved with him?

When Xu Huaiting, his sister, and his mother were first brought back from Xixili by his father, they were often troubled by people in the circle. Some of them were the lackeys of the young masters of the Xu family, and some were simply because they couldn't stand his and his sister's unusual appearance.

However, they all underestimated the ferocity of Xu Huaiting and Xu Ziyi.

His mother was gentle in nature. She was the eldest daughter there in her early years. Later, all her family members died. Because of her beauty, she was favored by Xu's father. The situation of the remaining three people, mother and son, in Xixili became difficult again. They relied on the two young wolf cubs for protection.

How could these young masters in Beijing be a match for the people who got their start in that place? Xu Huaiting really didn't care about his life when he fought, and he beat up all those who wanted to pick a fight.

If it weren't for Xu Huaiting's ability, he, who is half Chinese and half Western, would never have been able to sit in the position of the head of the Xu family. Old Master Xu cares a lot about this issue.

Xu Huaiting has a reputation for being fierce, and although the Chi family is one of the top wealthy families in Beijing and has been on the rise in the past two years, it is still far behind a giant like the Xu family.

The little beauty whom Young Master Chi calls brother is being pinched by the waist by the person in charge of the Xu family. She can neither run away nor push him away. Her eyes are as red as a rabbit. Can you blame her relatives for being anxious?

How is this any different from watching your pet rabbit being grabbed by the neck by a wolf in a den?

Chi Jue looked at Ye Man and said, "Xiao Man, hurry up and get off Mr. Xu."

The room had been quiet for a while, but suddenly there was a banging sound coming from a door on the left.

Ye Man wanted to slip away as quickly as possible. When Chi Yan left, she reminded him to follow Chi Jue. Not only did he slip away, but he also encountered such a thing. He felt guilty.

As a result, he was startled by the sound of someone banging on the door nearby and shrank back.

I could faintly hear someone's laughter.

With a loud bang, Meng Yao pushed the door open and rushed out of the pond, his face bruised. "Chi Jue!"

Chi Jue, who was worried that Ye Man would offend Xu Huaiting, was stunned for a long time and said with mixed feelings: "Meng Yao? Why are you here?"

Ye Man moved his ears. What? Meng Yao?

He didn't come out when he should have, and now he is here again?

The system was annoyed: "He was locked up in a small dark room by Xu Huaiting's people! I said we were in the right place!"

"But Xu Huaiting was too cruel. He beat up his own nephew just to break up Chi Jue and Meng Yao? How mean."

Ye Man listened to some gossip about the wealthy family.

Suddenly I realized a problem.

"Brother Tong, the relationship between Chi Jue and Meng Yao is having problems, isn't it because of Xu Huaiting?"

The system can’t tell.

Although Xu Huaiting was instructed by Mr. Meng to break up Meng Yao and Chi Jue, he had no intention of directly lecturing the other party.

Meng Yao wanted to say something, but Xu Huaiting waved his hand and dragged him back to the small dark room.

Chi Jue’s face turned pale and he wanted to speak.

The man smiled and said to Chi Jue who had pulled Ye Man behind him to block him, "Is it okay for an uncle to educate his nephew, Mr. Chi?"

Chi Jue's expression froze slightly: "...No."

After catching the person who was following Xu Huaiting with ill intentions, Secretary Chen simply asked Ye Man about what happened and let Chi Jue take Ye Man away.

After this happened, even if Meng Yao was found, Ye Man would not be able to continue his mission.

The system said that the plot must be logical.

If he rushed over to sit on Meng Yao's lap at this time, Chi Jue probably wouldn't be jealous or angry, but would think he was crazy.

When going downstairs, passing by a certain place, Ye Man heard a terrifying beating sound.

"You were the one who put drugs in Mr. Xu's wine before, right?"

"court death."

Bang!

Someone wailed and shouted at the top of his lungs: "I did embezzle the company's money to lend money, but I said, give me some time, I can pay him back ten or twenty times the amount, there's no need to rush and kill him!"

"Xu Huaiting! You——"

Secretary Chen came down from the building and calmly ordered, "Shut up, Mr. Xu is too noisy."

Ye Man lowered his head even more and stopped listening to the sound from the other side.

System: "Tsk tsk, you can't see, Xu Huaiting is really ruthless."

Ye Man thought to himself, "He deserves it."

The system was stunned.

Ye Man: "Where do you think the ten or twenty times the money came from?"

It was squeezed out of many people like Ye Man.

That is a debt that can never be repaid even with interest. No matter how hard you try, even if you work all your life or until you die, you will never be able to pay it off.

If the Chi family hadn't come looking for him, he would have almost reached his limit.

Knowing that if he continued to stay in the Chi family, he would end up being disliked by everyone because of his personality, and might even lose his life, Ye Man never thought of leaving.

The system's description of the plot that inertia leads to death did not make much sense to Ye Man, but he knew that he would definitely die if he had no money.

If he couldn't get the Chi family's money, he should at least get the money given by the system.

But now the mission has failed for the second time.

The system also discovered his lies and would no longer believe him or go easy on him. Ye Man began to feel a little anxious.

System: "Ye Man......"

Ye Man touched his eyes, pressed them hard, and responded in a low voice: "Hmm?"

System: "...Nothing."

The horse can't be ridden.

Chi Jue pulled Ye Man out of Xu Huaiting's hands, stuffed her into the car without saying a word, and returned to the Chi family in a hurry.

evening.

Ye Man sat in the middle. Chi Yanrong and Qin Fangrui looked at their newly recognized little son and felt worried.

After hearing what Chi Jue said about Xu Huaiting and Ye Man, Chi Yanrong was surprised and doubtful: "It should be a misunderstanding, right?"

Who is Xu Huaiting? He is not Meng Yao, so he should not have any thoughts about Ye Man.

While they were talking, Ye Man was taking the hot soup that Zhou Ma handed over to her to dispel the cold, and said thank you obediently.

Qin Fangrui was sitting close to him, and seeing some soup stains on the corner of his mouth, she subconsciously wiped it with a tissue.

Ye Man was stunned for a moment, and said in a very low voice, "Thank you, Mom."

After a while, Qin Fangrui felt a soft source of heat approaching her side, holding her closely like a small animal.

The people around her didn't know that she had noticed his furtive little action, and she lowered her head and drank the soup in small sips.

Qin Fangrui's heart softened immediately.

She actually didn't quite know how to get along with her new son.

As a mother, she had good thoughts and knew that she had to be fair and not cause any trouble that would make people laugh at her.

As for sons, she already has two, and both are doing well, so she will just follow suit with this one.

But when she really met Ye Man, she realized that some things were not that simple.

Go up and cry and beg for my son? She couldn't be so enthusiastic to a stranger, and she didn't know that she had the wrong son. Chi Jue was outstanding and excellent, which was always her pride. In recent years, there was no lack of mother-son happiness. Besides, Chi Jue was not her biological son, but didn't she still have Chi Yan? This was her biological son, so Ye Man's presence seemed a little awkward.

Between Chi Jue and Ye Man, she always subconsciously gets close to Chi Jue and is more polite and distant to Ye Man.

She could see that Ye Man was trying very hard to get close to her and please her, and she knew that this might hurt Ye Man's feelings, but she found it difficult to control herself.

She found an excuse to stay at the company for a few days, and was on a business trip for a while and didn't go home.

After coming back, Ye Man appeared in front of her less and less often.

She thought she had made the child a nuisance.

But Ye Man is a good child and much more sensible than she thought.

Chi Yan came back from outside in a hurry and made the final decision: "Try to avoid situations where Xu Huaiting appears in the future." He looked at Chi Jue again: "You should also have less contact with Meng Yao."

Chi Jue's eyes darkened: "I understand, brother."

Qin Fangrui said, "At Xiaoman's age, he should go to school. Is there anything he wants to do in the future?"

As long as you don't rush to get up, you will be busy and you will never meet him. To put it bluntly, how can a person like Xu Huaiting catch a blind man? Impossible.

This question stumped Ye Man.

Chi Yan was trained to be an heir since childhood and will definitely inherit the Chi family in the future. Chi Jue was young and skipped two grades. Before he graduated, his company was already shining in the field of drones. He was excellent since childhood and, with his appearance and abilities, he got in touch with the prince circle and became a favorite of everyone.

Where is Ye Man?

If he had to answer, it would be making money.

He would do anything to make money, pay off his debts, and live a peaceful life.

He had never thought about anything further in the future, nor was he qualified to think about it.

The Chi family probably wouldn't like his vulgar and merciless answer. Saying so would make people look down on him.

Ye Man stirred the soup with a spoon, trying hard to come up with a pleasing answer.

That's the limit of his vision and what he's been exposed to.

Cashier, waiter, cleaner... being able to set up a small stall to sell pancakes and scallion pancakes seemed like an unattainable dream to him.

He hesitated for a long time, but couldn't come up with any respectable profession that would make people applaud, and his face became redder and redder.

"Brother Tong, Brother Tong, can you tell me an answer? I promise to work hard to complete the task next time, and I will definitely not fail again!"

If the system wants to say that it does not guarantee this to him, it can also tell him that he does not have to give anything in exchange.

This made it wonder if it was too rude to Ye Man, which made Ye Man feel like he was walking on thin ice.

"Ye Man, you can actually say you don't know."

The system said earnestly: "It's not wrong not to know. No one will hate you just because you don't know what you should do in the future."

"I said so."
