"You knew?" Xiao Mingyang slammed the cup in his hand onto the table. "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you knew?!"
Li Xiangze reached out and pinched the back of the man's neck: "Calm down."
"I don't think it matters," Xiao Dayang said in a relaxed tone on the phone. "After all, you never treated him as an outsider, did you?"
Xiao Mingyang was silent for a moment: "Have you talked to grandpa?"
Xiao Dayang smiled and said, "We talk about it often, you know that."
"Has he ever told you about your father and uncle's childhood?" Xiao Mingyang asked.
"That's not the case. Why are you talking to me about this, Grandpa?"
Xiao Mingyang smiled: "It seems that you haven't understood the real uncle yet."
Xiao Mingyang told him about the open and secret struggles between the two brothers, and his uncle felt dissatisfied and unbalanced from the bottom of his heart.
"If my uncle knew now that he was not Xiao's biological son, what do you think he would think?" Xiao Mingyang's tone darkened.
The person on the other end of the phone didn't speak.
"He will feel that everything has a source." Li Xiangze said.
"That makes sense," the person on the other end of the line suddenly said, "Let me add one more piece of information. My mom was first introduced to my uncle. They were classmates, and he pursued her for years until she saw my dad and began to pursue him vigorously."
"That's why my uncle hasn't been in a relationship yet," Xiao Mingyang murmured, "That's why he killed my father, but it didn't affect my mother and me..."
"By the way, my uncle's biological father was a sworn business rival of my grandfather back then." Xiao Dayang said.
Xiao Mingyang stared at the hot pot in front of him: "If he is our mortal enemy, why did grandpa adopt him?"
"Because we are sworn enemies, we know each other's character best." Xiao Dayang stopped there.
"Then the company that Grandpa gave to my uncle..."
Xiao Zhichen's biological parents died suddenly. While inspecting the factory, an accident occurred and many people died.
On the day of the funeral, the lawyer found Xiao Guozhen, Xiao Mingyang's grandfather, with the will. The couple handed over the company and their only son to him, and specifically stated that the company belonged entirely to the Xiao family, and the child only needed to be raised to adulthood and did not need any family property.
But now, grandpa not only returned the company to him, but also wanted to take over the head office with his father after his uncle got through the difficulties.
No one knew my uncle's true identity except my grandfather and my deceased grandmother.
My uncle should be very confused now. After all, from his perspective, my father is indeed quite enviable.
In addition, my uncle must have been under a lot of mental pressure recently, which, combined with his personality, may lead him to take some extreme actions.
"I want to find some time to talk to him." Xiao Mingyang said.
"We should have a talk. It would be best if we could persuade him to see a psychiatrist." Li Xiangze held his cold hand.
"Okay, but you must take safety measures." Xiao Dayang said.
Xiao Mingyang's mouth twitched: "My uncle and I have a pure family relationship, what are you talking about?"
Li Xiangze was amused by him and pinched the back of his neck: "What kind of mess is going on in your head?"
The person on the other end of the phone was laughing wildly.
Xiao Mingyang's face flushed red: "Still laughing! It's all because you said such ambiguous words!"
"That's progress! Now you know what ambiguity means!" The person on the phone continued to mock.
Xiao Mingyang: "..."
Li Xiangze couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xiao Mingyang: "No love..."
"Yes." Li Xiangze kissed his lips and continued to smile.
Xiao Mingyang licked his lips.
Well, grudgingly forgive the world for a minute.
After dinner, it’s almost time to pack up and go back to school.
My grandfather has confirmed the employment terms, but some details still need to be coordinated. It’s not convenient to go to the hospital, so I decided to go back to the old house to recuperate.
The whole family was worried, so they all moved in. Xiao Mingyang couldn't live on campus for a few days.
Just what he wanted.
It was safe to live under the same roof, and he could just find some time to chat with his uncle.
Unfortunately, my uncle had to go on a business trip for a few days, so I had to give up.
The process of returning to school is the same as before, with homework collection and student council meetings.
There will be a sports meet in a few days, which requires cooperation between the Discipline Inspection Department and the Culture and Sports Department. The two departments stayed and held a small meeting separately.
The meeting was over and it was almost time to go home for school.
Uncle Shi called and said the car had arrived at the door.
Xiao Mingyang rushed to the classroom door and just caught up with Li Xiangze coming out.
He hugged the other person and said, "I'm going home."
"Well," the other person patted his back and pinched the back of his neck, "Go ahead."
Xiao Mingyang buried his head in his neck: "I don't want to go back..."
"See you tomorrow." Li Xiangze led him forward.
Xiao Mingyang sighed, rubbed his neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."
Li Xiangze touched the back of his head and said, "It will take you an hour to get over there. No need."
"Yes," Xiao Mingyang raised his head and looked at him with a curled lip, "The breakfast at my grandfather's place is delicious!"
"Okay." Li Xiangze said with a smile.
They walked very slowly. There were not many people in the corridor at this time. After waiting for the last person to pass them, Xiao Mingyang pushed open the door of the cleaning room next to them and pulled Li Xiangze in.
Li Xiangze was pushed against the door by the other party, and the door was closed.
Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "What?"
Xiao Mingyang stepped forward and pressed his forehead against his: "We can't sleep in the same room tonight..."
"Yeah." Li Xiangze smiled.
"I want a goodnight kiss." Xiao Mingyang slowly approached, their noses intertwined and their lips and teeth blended.
Xiao Mingyang's attack was as fierce as ever. Li Xiangze was pressed against the door panel and responded slowly.
The other party still had a trace of rationality left. He protected the back of his head with his hands, but his lips and tongue were frantically demanding, like a traveler who had been thirsty for days and was madly craving for water.
I don’t know how long it took before I heard footsteps outside the door.
The security must be here.
The two separated slowly, their eyes still lingering.
"It's time to go out." Li Xiangze pinched the back of his neck.
"Hmm..." Xiao Mingyang held his hand and rubbed his face against his palm.
Li Xiangze smiled and said, "The driver must be waiting anxiously at the door."
Xiao Mingyang sighed, then interlocked his fingers with his backhand. After thinking for a moment, he placed his hand to his lips and kissed it: "Sweet dreams."
Li Xiangze smiled and said, "Well, sweet dreams."
When I opened the door, as luck would have it, I bumped into the security guard walking towards me.
"What's wrong with you two? Are you still in the teaching building so late?" the security guard asked sternly.
Xiao Mingyang hugged Li Xiangze and flashed his signature smile to the security guard: "We were just washing the mop."
"Xiao Ming," the security guard knew him, "Alright, alright, let's go. Go faster next time."
"Thank you, uncle!" Xiao Mingyang smiled at the uncle again, then walked out slowly with his wife in his arms.

Li Xiangze spent three days studying the email, wrote a version and sent it to Xiao Mingyang, who then forwarded it to Xiao Dayang.
They also tried to directly push Xiao Dayang's business card to him, but it didn't get through at all. They could only transfer it and use the voice call during lunch break to change it to an email.
Xiao Mingyang felt dizzy when he saw English, but he was unwilling to give up the few moments of love every day. Every time Li Xiangze was editing emails, he would move a stool next to his wife and sleep next to her.
If his wife changed in bed, he would run to his wife's bed and hug her to sleep.
After going through six or seven versions, we finally finalized it.
"Not bad, it seems you know something." Xiao Dayang said.
"Well, I've read some literature and am indeed interested in clinical aspects." Li Xiangze clicked to send the email.
Xiao Mingyang hugged his waist and looked up at him when he heard this: "You want to be a doctor."
"Yeah." Li Xiangze pinched the back of his neck.
"Aze did mention it to me," Xiao Dayang sighed on the other end of the phone, "but every time he mentioned it, he would change the subject. I didn't expect him to do it so early..."
"What is Aze doing now?" Xiao Mingyang asked.
"Now," Xiao Dayang smiled, "my vice president."
Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "Can I still do business?"
"My baby can do anything." Xiao Mingyang rubbed his waist.
"You're just flattering me." Li Xiangze pinched the back of his neck.
The person on the phone laughed: "In the beginning, your personality was indeed not suitable for business. You suffered a lot, but you changed a lot later... Fortunately, everything is not too late now."
Li Xiangze paused pinching Xiao Mingyang's neck and chuckled, "Thank you."
Xiao Mingyang looked at him and smiled, his smile was silly: "No need."
"I thought there would be a butterfly effect," Xiao Dayang sighed, "but it's okay. At least I saved my mother-in-law from another world. It's a good thing!"
＊
In the early morning of that day, Li Xiangze received a reply from Lucas Carter.
The other party said that they would come to China in the near future to observe the old man's condition before deciding whether he could participate in their clinical trial. In addition, they sincerely invited the person who wrote the letter to participate in their trial.
Li Xiangze declined, saying that he was still in high school and didn't have time.
The other party was obviously more interested in him and said in the email that he hoped to meet her when he came to China.
Li Xiangze had a terrible headache and called Xiao Mingyang. The other party's voice was vague: "What's wrong, baby? Do you miss me?"
"Lucas Carter replied," Li Xiangze translated the entire conversation between him and the other party. "What's the reply?"
"Do you have a deep understanding of this research?" Xiao Mingyang asked.
"The surface." Li Xiangze replied.
"If he meets you, he'll definitely ask a lot of questions. If you can't answer them, he'll become suspicious..." Xiao Mingyang pondered for a moment. "So, tell him that you haven't done any in-depth research on this subject. Those are just your guesses, and they're not necessarily correct. If they do make sense, they're just coincidences. Wait until you go to university and study in depth, and reach a level where you can truly discuss relevant issues with him. Then you must come visit him in person. If you meet now, you'll be wasting his time, and his time is precious, so I suggest you postpone the meeting."
"Okay." Li Xiangze translated his words into English and sent it over.
The other party replied quickly.
"What did you say?" Xiao Mingyang asked.
Li Xiangze finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I look forward to meeting you in the future."
"Finally..." Xiao Mingyang also breathed a sigh of relief. "Tell him about your upcoming schedule and connect with the email address I sent you."
"Okay," Li Xiangze opened the chat box, "Whose email address is this?"
"My grandfather's secretary, our mission is accomplished, let's hand it over to them next." Xiao Mingyang felt relieved.
