Chapter 155 Damn, where have you gone?
This is a very simple story.
Xiao's father deeply loved his first wife, but his original wife was just an ordinary person. She could not bear the pressure and rules of the big family and committed suicide when her youngest son was only eight years old.
Xiao's father married a new wife who looked very similar to his original wife, but they separated again because of their incompatibility.
Until Xiao Jingrun's mother appeared, she was one in a million in terms of both family background and ability.
Old Master Xiao has spoken, and if Father Xiao doesn't want to be kicked out of the center of power, he should either continue to pursue love or honestly go for the arranged marriage.
This loveless political marriage meant that Xiao Jingrun was doomed to not receive the attention of his father.
"My father always told me to be humble and respectful to my elder brother, so when my father, my elder brother and I went out together, and we encountered an assassination attempt halfway, my father's first reaction was to protect my elder brother and push me out. If it weren't for the bodyguards protecting me, I would have died overseas fifteen years ago."
Xiao Jingrun smiled and said, "Now, my relationship with my brother has reached a point where even my father can hardly maintain it. My father will make a choice between him and me."
It was the first time that Jiang Zhiyue heard about the Xiao family’s secrets, which could not be seen in gossip. The photos of the Xiao family published by the media all showed a harmonious and happy family.
Xiao Jingrun is known as the little prince who grew up in the Presidential Palace. His maternal grandfather has a powerful family background and his mother is a prominent figure in Brandenburg.
Jiang Zhiyue had seen many family marriages, but she had never seen a child whose maternal family was powerful enough to be pushed out to take the blame. If Xiao Jingrun died, it would be obvious who would benefit.
She looked at the man in surprise. Xiao Jingrun said, "Liansheng hates me because Uncle Mu has always supported our Xiao family. Just like my relationship with Yanzhu, Uncle Mu has known my mother since childhood. My grandfather was his teacher. Twenty percent of our political donations come from his support."
Mu Liansheng’s mentality is easy to understand. He doesn’t want to be inferior to others. He is young and energetic. Who would want to be inferior to others?
What's more, Mu's father had so many lovers that Mu Liansheng felt disgusted when he looked at that face and was disgusted when he heard the words "Xiao family".
This also indirectly proves that these major families are tightly bound together. Hundreds of years of reproduction have allowed them to integrate into each other at all levels, and any move will affect the whole body.
The road ahead is long and difficult...
Perhaps she should really treat Xiao Jingrun's previous words as hallucinations. If he really wanted to change the world, leaving aside Mu Liansheng, there were also the Qin, Chu and Gu families before him.
This activity caused most people to suffer physically, but it did not help their spiritual transformation.
In this kind of activity, Xiao Jingrun has already taken most of the risks, and she can imagine the situation he will face in the Xiao family.
"We will have to go through many tests before we can become qualified heirs." Xiao Jingrun looked at her and said, "It will cost a lot. If Jiang Zhiyue wants to achieve a certain goal, are you willing to pay the price?"
Jiang Zhiyue hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Xiao Jingrun looked at her through the firelight with clear eyes and fell into a long silence.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't know how much time had passed. She was so hungry that she sat next to the man, leaning against the rock wall. Xiao Jingrun was not a talkative person. He would only look at her when she looked at him.
This was a good opportunity. Jiang Zhiyue would never be so close to him again. She could take the opportunity to bring up more topics and continue chatting with Xiao Jingrun.
But she said nothing and sat as quietly as the man.
The fire was still crackling, and only when it went out did Xiao Jingrun stand up. He asked Jiang Zhiyue to stay where she was, and he took out a rope from his pocket and threw it up.
Jiang Zhiyue was about to speak, but he shook his head. After making sure there was no danger, he let down the rope and let Jiang Zhiyue come up.
Jiang Zhiyue opened her mouth again, as if she wanted to ask something.
The man seemed to see what she was thinking and said, "Take your own destiny into your own hands. You can use the power of others to help you, but never forget to save yourself."
Jiang Zhiyue figured out the way back to the camp based on the direction of the wind. Xiao Jingrun showed a hint of admiration in his eyes and took her hand.
The camp had already become a mess.
Xiao Jingrun was gone, and everyone seemed to have lost their backbone. Some boys even held their heads in worry, and howled to the sky, "Oh my god, the president is gone. Will the cruise ship that's supposed to take us home come on time? Ahhhh, I can't go back! Am I going to be a savage on a deserted island for the rest of my life?"
Gu Zhaoye didn't care whether Xiao Jingrun lived or died. When he didn't see Jiang Zhiyue in the camp, he ran out to look for her immediately.
Chu Junche originally wanted to follow along, but he lay in the sleeping bag for a long time and couldn't get up. When he finally turned over and sat up, there was a tie around his neck, and his little head was tilted, looking like a disabled patient who had sprained his neck.
He begged Chu Junyue to find Jiang Zhiyue.
Lin Xian'er widened her eyes and wished she could strangle him to death on the spot.
"Brother, Zhiyue saved me. It's so late and she hasn't come back yet. Someone must be trying to harm her!" Chu Junche said anxiously, "Please, brother, go and help me find her! If something happens to her, how can I repay her!"
Chu Junyue had a cold expression, and his deep eyes were clear without any ripples.
After a moment's silence, he held the torch and walked outside.
Lin Xian'er hurriedly chased after him and asked him where he was going, but the man did not respond.
Lin Xian'er's lips turned white from biting them, and she tasted blood in her mouth. She ran over and stopped him.
Chu Junyue then said, "If something happened to Xiao Jingrun, who do you think would be the first person to be suspected?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xian'er's eyes.
Chu Junyue left, but he didn't go far. Xiao Jingrun and Jiang Zhiyue came back one after another. Both of them looked a little embarrassed. Jiang Zhiyue was holding a torch in her hand. When she arrived at the camp, she extinguished the torch. A gust of wind blew, and her little face was blackened by the smoke.
Everyone was extremely surprised and quickly surrounded him, asking Xiao Jingrun what had happened.
The man blended into the crowd and became the focus.
Everyone's concerned faces didn't seem fake.
Jiang Zhiyue slipped away quietly, but didn't notice Xiao Jingrun turned back to look at her.
She didn't see Gu Zhaoye in the camp, and her scalp suddenly went numb. She heard him running out to find her, and she got up quickly without having time to tidy up.
Chu Junyue glanced at her and said, "He can't run far. It's getting late. Be quiet."
After saying this, the man's figure merged into the dense forest.
Jiang Zhiyue didn't sleep most of the night until Gu Zhaoye came running back more than ten minutes later, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Zhaoye was really anxious. She had never come home late before, so she hurried forward and hugged the girl.
"Damn it, where have you been?"
