After hearing this, his mother seemed to agree with his point of view, "That's right! Otherwise, why would we raise him? If we treat him well, isn't it so that he can repay us in the future? If he doesn't repay us, then he is unfilial and will be talked about behind his back in society."
Behind his back, his parents were secretly calculating how much they had sacrificed and how much they would recoup in the future.
Hearing this sent chills down his spine, casting a deep shadow on his young mind.
It turns out that even your biological parents will calculate the benefits you bring them.
There is no such thing as love without a reason...
From then on, he fell silent, stopped being willful and mischievous, and began to grow up as the good son they envisioned.
Gradually, the warmth between family members diminished.
"Don't you have an older brother?" Yi Tianran hadn't forgotten the way he called her "Brother Qilin" on the phone that day.
If someone is associated with Yi Qilin, then it's definitely not a simple matter.
"That's... my savior. If he hadn't brought me back from the clutches of human traffickers when I was little, I wouldn't be who I am today." Xu Zhe's eyes were still full of admiration when he mentioned Yi Qilin.
Yi Tianran was even more confused.
When he was young, Yi Qilin was just a teenager, yet he already possessed such great abilities.
She felt something was off about everything, but she didn't have time to think about it.
"I'm leaving now, do as you please!" She still had a good show to watch!
"Wait!" Xu Zhe mustered his courage and followed her to the school gate. "I...I'll walk you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Yi Tianran pause, her gaze fixed ahead, a dazzling light flashing in her eyes.
His heart pounded wildly, and he instinctively looked in the direction she was looking.
Just ten meters away, a tall, slender figure was seen leaning against a Rolls-Royce.
The sunlight shone on the man, as if gilding him with a layer of gold.
Yi Tianran had completely forgotten about Xu Zhe beside her and lunged towards the man. She stopped a meter away from him, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Mr. Fu, did you secretly cast a spell on me? How come you can appear in time wherever I want to go?"
Even voyeurs aren't as dedicated as him, okay?
Fu Yunchen raised an eyebrow, not denying it, but going along with her words, "Yes, a love potion."
Yi Tianran: "..."
This is flirting?
She asked deliberately, "You mean that the Gu worm can also control my emotions, making me fall in love with you without me even realizing it?"
A hint of doting appeared in Fu Yunchen's eyes, "Aren't you already deeply involved?"
Yi Tianran: "..."
That makes some sense!
“Then what if I told you…” Yi Tianran tilted her head back, leaned close to his ear, and breathed softly, “I was the one who cast the spell. I did it to manipulate you and use your feelings to achieve my unspeakable secret. What would you do then?”
Thinking about it carefully, why would someone as high and mighty as Fu Yunchen be so devoted to me?
Sometimes she wondered if she had unintentionally cast a spell on him, bewitching his mind.
Otherwise, for such a despicable woman who uses him and then throws him away, he should have caught her and given her a good beating. He should have started with a sadomasochistic romance, tormenting her until she was physically and mentally exhausted and heartbroken, then pursued her relentlessly until they were deeply in love and he was unable to extricate himself from the situation.
Instead, he skipped all the dramatic and convoluted processes and showed his true feelings through his actions.
Fu Yunchen lowered his eyes, reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, and said calmly, "Sacrifice your own interests to prevent you from harming the common people."
Yi Tianran: "..." What a jerk!
She couldn't help but curse inwardly, but a bright and charming smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
...
In the distance, although the content of their conversation could not be heard.
Xu Zhe could still sense the atmosphere between the two of them, an atmosphere that no outsider could easily intrude upon.
Especially just now, after that guy surnamed Fu deliberately tossed her hair, his cool eyes casually swept in his direction, with a hint of provocation in his gaze.
Xu Zhe gritted his teeth in anger.
Even though he already knew the other person's identity, he still mustered up the courage to step forward and said sarcastically, "Some people, as the eldest brother-in-law, lay hands on their own niece. I really don't know if it's a moral decline or a distortion of human nature... If this were in the news, they would be treated as perverts."
He had already heard his classmates talk about the relationship between Fu Yunchen and Yi Tianran, so even if he was the dignified CEO Fu, he couldn't act recklessly.
Fu Yunchen naturally put his arm around Yi Tianran's shoulder, his demeanor noble and his tone aloof: "My relationship with Yao Yao has already transcended three generations, so there's no need for unimportant people to worry about it."
Xu Zhe clenched his fists tightly. Being young and impetuous, he finally couldn't contain his panic.
He refused to admit defeat, saying, "Some people are still single at an advanced age, yet they rely on connections to get close to young and beautiful female college students. Aren't they ashamed?"
Old man!
He's 14 years younger than Qin Yao, who's 20 years old. It's like an old ox eating young grass; he really has a thick skin.
She calls Yao Yao so affectionately that even he doesn't dare to call her that.
He only got there because of his uncle's status; otherwise, someone his age wouldn't have had any chance at all.
"Only those who have the ability to stand at the same level as me are qualified to challenge me." Fu Yunchen crushed his opponent with his overwhelming aura.
Xu Zhe was so angry that he choked. Thinking of the other party's current status in the business world, he said angrily, "If I were your age, I might not be any worse than you."
A strong smell of gunpowder permeated the air.
Fu Yunchen's cold gaze swept over him, as if he were looking down on an ant. "But at your age, I had already started my own business and become a Midas touch master on Wall Street."
Xu Zhe felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
His aura weakened visibly, and the invisible dog ears on his head drooped down, making him look dejected and pitiful.
This time, he was truly utterly defeated and dared not stay to invite further humiliation.
After watching a duel between men, Yi Tianran returned to her car, resting her chin on her hand with interest as she gazed at Fu Yunchen's profile. "Mr. Fu, you were far too cunning just now. You were born into privilege, while he was just an ordinary citizen. You started from completely different points. How could you use your 20-year-old glory to discourage someone?"
It's incredibly childish of you to argue with a child over such a small thing.
Fu Yunchen narrowed his eyes, his hand on her waist slowly tightening. "We've only known each other for a short time, and you're already taking his side?"
