The battle for the succession to the Xiao family, one of the top wealthy families in the imperial capital, has resulted in heavy casualties and countless bloodshed and sacrifices in each successive generation. Therefore, even though the Xiao family is romantic at heart and has countless illegitimate children, the core descendants of the family have never prospered.
The clue Xiao Yunting found not only included the heir that Grandpa Xiao originally intended, but also the fact that in order to protect Xiao Wanshan, he coldly ignored the fact that his grandson Xiao Yunting suffered inhuman abuse for several years.
Realizing this, Ye Lan's face turned a little colder, and he recalled the short time Xiao Yunting spent in the Xiao family when he was a teenager. Although he had never received any education, he was particularly favored by the old man, who also showed him admiring eyes.
It is conceivable how sad Xiao Yunting felt when he learned the truth and the only remaining family affection in his heart was cruelly taken away.
"This time, I will help you kill him too." She gently held the man's hand and made a promise in a serious tone.
Just like she dealt with Celia last time, this time she will also deal with Xiao Wanshan for him.
The two of them were talking about such a bloody topic as if no one was around, but the atmosphere was very intimate, which made the people on the opposite side shake their heads and sigh.
As expected, no matter how cold-blooded a boss is, once he falls in love, he will become a terrible love-brained person.
Xiao Yunting did not refuse the girl's protection, even though he had decided to do it himself. But the way the girl's heart and eyes were full of thoughts for him made him feel very moved.
When she returned to the city, Tang Sinian called her and asked her about the situation there. She was greatly relieved when she learned that everything was fine.
"I'm glad you're safe. I'm really sorry that this incident has caused you a lot of trouble."
Only then did the two of them have time to chat.
Tang Sinian apologized sincerely.
"It's none of your business." Ye Lan didn't accept it, and said in a calm and cold tone: "This was originally directed at me."
If you have to say it, it was she who caused trouble for Tang Sinian.
"Miss Ye, what do you mean?" Tang Sinian asked hesitantly on the other end of the phone.
Ye Lan then briefly recounted how she had recently wiped out a castle hidden by a foreign organization in an uninhabited area. She recalled how the other party was most likely seeking revenge and wanted to get back at her, so they used the Shark platform variety show to lure her into the game.
Tang Sinian couldn't help but gasp when he heard this. He couldn't imagine what kind of thrilling life the girl had led during the time she disappeared.
He suddenly realized that he didn't understand her at all.
Ye Lan also promised to make compensation for this incident, "I will hold another live broadcast tonight to explain the situation."
The matter of the old western-style building and the deceased guest on the show was resolved by the authorities.
She will make up for the platform's losses.
Tang Sinian wanted to say no, but there was a lot of discussion on the Internet and someone was really needed to calm the situation.
And Ye Lan is the most suitable candidate.
"Then I'll arrange an account for you." Tang Sinian continued.
He thought that a mysterious person like Ye Lan would not use the Internet, but Ye Lan refused and said, "No, I have my own."
Tang Sinian: “…”
This time I went back to the Xiao family.
They are leaving for Texas tomorrow and will come back to see if there are any remaining clues.
Xiao Yunting flies abroad all year round and rarely comes back since he took over the position of head of the family. The servants and housekeeper in the family are cautious and respectful when they greet him at the door.
"Master, you're back." The butler stepped forward and opened the car door, but he caught a glimpse of a slender silhouette inside from the corner of his eye and was stunned.
It was not until Xiao Yunting stepped out of the car and went around to the other side to pick someone up that he could see the girl's appearance clearly.
"It's the eldest lady." The housekeeper's expression relaxed, and he took a few steps forward and complimented her, "I didn't expect the eldest lady to come. This is the first time we meet. I am an elder of the Xiao family. You can call me Old Chen."
Old Chen was a familiar face. Ye Lan took a quick look and recognized that he was the butler who served the old man in his memory.
"Uncle Chen." She greeted him lightly without explaining that she was no longer registered in the Xiao family.
Old Chen was quite enthusiastic. He greeted them as they entered the house and prepared a table full of food. However, before they could sit down, they heard footsteps on the stairs.
"Uncle Chen, is Yun Ting back? Why didn't you call me?"
An elegant female voice came over.
Ye Lan looked up and saw a beautiful woman with big wavy hair and wearing a top-quality matte long dress walking down slowly.
The other person was well-maintained and looked to be only in his early thirties. His eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Xiao Yunting, and he was holding a young girl beside him.
"Miss Qi, are you awake? I was afraid to disturb you. After all, you just flew back to China and have to adjust to the time difference. I have prepared a light meal for you for dinner." Old Chen looked up with a loving face, and by the way, he stretched out his hand to guide the woman to sit at the dining table.
The woman pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this. "Uncle Chen is so considerate. No wonder Dad always praised you when he was alive."
As the voices were heard, she had already arrived at the restaurant and met Xiao Yunting head-on. It was the first time she felt his cold and powerful aura. She was shocked and didn't dare to look at him, but then she came to her senses and found it funny.
"Yun Ting, why didn't you call me 'little aunt' first when we met? Even though you're the head of the family, I'm still your elder. Or maybe you've forgotten what I look like? It's no wonder. After all, I left the country just after you returned to the old house, and we only met once in front of your father's coffin."
She forced herself to remain calm and acted like an elder, trying to suppress the young head of the Xiao family.
Unfortunately, all I got was cold indifference.
"Uncle Chen." Xiao Yunting looked past her and directly at Old Chen. His eyes were calm and without a trace of warmth. "Did you let that person in?"
