I took out the knife, but Crazy Patch held my waist and acted coquettishly

Xie Lan stared at Lu Haili again and again, his eyes drifting here and there, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Haili frowned: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Actually, I think Mr. Wang is jealous of your relationship with Elder Ji."

"Wang Xi and I can't be friends," Lu Haili immediately darkened his face.

"Maybe he doesn't want to be friends with you," Xie Lan reminded, "but he wants to be a real family member."

"He can have sweet dreams. It's absolutely impossible for him to steal his granddaughter from me." Lu Haili's face turned even darker.

Xie Lan: "..."

"You can't believe Wang Xi's words. Also, your promise to him doesn't have to count. Your Grandpa Yun Heng saved my grandpa's life. So, your Grandpa Yun Heng is our family."

What the family said was really kind.

And he had long regarded Ji Yunheng as a family member.

"Oh..." Xie Lan was helpless.

Mr. Wang, I can only do this.

Xie Lan's heart moved slightly.

Could she have misunderstood?

In fact, what Wang Xi is really eyeing is Ji Yunheng?

Thinking of the triangle relationship, Xie Lan's mouth twitched.

The relationship between the older generation is really complicated.

"Hearing what you said, I have to go and take a look to prevent Wang Xi from messing around again." Lu Haili was actually worried that Ji Yunheng would be attacked by Wang Xi.

Xie Lan watched Lu Haili leave with a complicated expression, and silently put his hand on Zhong Liyu's hand, slowly breathing in his energy.

Zhong Liyu's eyelids moved slightly, then he opened his eyes and looked at her: "Alan."

"Don't talk," Xie Lan said, "Save your energy and rest."

"I didn't expect that I would be so weak and become a burden to you."

"What are you talking about?" Xie Lan frowned: "This is not like you at all."

Zhong Liyu's lips curved into a slight smile, "Which one does Ah Lan like better?"

Xie Lan glared at him: "Isn't it all you?"

"Alan finally admitted it."

Zhong Liyu's eyes lit up with a deep smile.

Look happy.

"Admit what."

"Admit that you like me."

"..."

"Alan is angry."

"Do not talk."

"I'm afraid if I don't say anything, I won't have a chance." Zhong Liyu's bright eyes dimmed slightly.

"You're only a few years old and you're saying you have no chance. Don't think blindly," Xie Lan's tone was a little stiff.

"I'm eight years older than A Lanxu," Zhong Liyu looked a little dismayed. "Did A Lan ever despise my age, so he never wanted to admit that he liked me?"

"...It has nothing to do with this."

"It really doesn't matter."

Seeing the dimness in his eyes, Xie Lan frowned: "The age difference is just right. It doesn't matter if you are older, I know how to care for others."

The dull eyes brightened again, and the smile hanging on the corner of the mouth became thicker. It seemed that most of the illness was gone at once: "You're not lying?"

"No," Xie Lan frowned awkwardly.

"Alan..."

"Shut up," Xie Lan pulled up the quilt and covered his mouth, "Don't waste my treatment, close your eyes and have a good rest."

Zhong Liyu closed his eyes with satisfaction, but the curve at the corner of his mouth never disappeared: "No matter which time I meet you, it's great to meet you, Ah Lan!"

He reached out his hand and held it tightly with hers.

Xie Lan lowered his eyes and silently looked at the hands held by the two of them. “Zhong Liyu, I won’t let you die.”

This sentence is like a solemn promise.

When night came, Su Mingchong walked into the door with good news: "He Xuan and the others have news! They are on their way here!"

Hearing this, Xie Lan couldn't help but relax, and there was a smile on his face: "Go and pick it up in person, make sure everything is safe."

"I have such a plan," Su Mingchong glanced at Zhong Liyu who fell asleep again: "He will ask Miss Xie Er here."

Xie Lan nodded and sent Su Mingchong out.

At this time, Jie Lian came over and said, "Xie Lan, Mr. Su and I will go together."

Su Mingchong instinctively wanted to reject anyone from the Xie family, but Xie Lan's relationship with Xie Lian was not bad, so he did not speak.

"This has nothing to do with the reconciliation."

"I just wanted to do something to atone for my sins."

Jie Lian's eyes were very sad.

Xie Lan opened his mouth, and finally looked at Su Mingchong without saying anything.

Su Mingchong had no choice but nodded, "Just follow me."

Jie Lian got this permission, and he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Jie Chenmo stood in the dark, watching this scene.

"Teacher Xie," Jiang Xiaoyi has now gradually come into contact with supernatural powers. Although she has only started practicing at this age, with the aid of medicine, her abilities can still be visibly effective.

So she also understands the psychology of those who want to become stronger.

Jie Chenmo looked back at the place where Jie's family was being guarded, and smiled bitterly: "You don't have to follow me anymore in the future."

Jiang Xiaoyi's eyes widened: "Teacher Xie! Is there something I didn't do well?"

"You did a good job, but I won't bring anyone else with me." He would temporarily leave the Jie family, saying he was escaping, or else.

In the short term, he will not return to Xie's home.

The sense of superiority of being a family member was completely dissipated at this moment.

Jiang Xiaoyi said anxiously: "I will go wherever Teacher Xie goes. I am your student."

"It's time for you to start training," Jie Chenyou's eyes darkened as he walked past Jiang Xiaoyi, "Xie Lan."

He stopped Xie Lan who was walking in front.

Xie Lan looked over.

Jiang Xiaoyi retreated awkwardly, leaving space for them.

"You're not being guarded."

"Third Master Wang and Elder Ji did not intend to guard me and reconcile the company. I provided them with some things, which can be regarded as making up for it." Jie Chenmo said bitterly: "I'm leaving."

"Where to go."

"Temporarily out of the confines of the Jie family," Jie Chenyou said, "I can't face these truths. Do you think I'm cowardly?"

"Everyone has different acceptance levels and different ways of solving problems." Xie Lan could not say that Jie Chenyou was cowardly. "You are just choosing to act in a way that makes it easier to heal yourself."

Jie Chenmo looked at Xie Lan blankly for a while, then suddenly smiled: "I really regret that I didn't get to know you earlier, and I regret that I did that in the first place."

Xie Lan looked at him indifferently and did not respond.

"I'm really sorry about Zhong Liyu's matter," Jie Chenyou said hoarsely, "I had some speculation before, but I just didn't want to know more about it... If I had known more about it, I might have been able to stop it."

"With Jie Jia's research capabilities, even if we give him a few more years, we may not be able to develop the best enhancement drug. Unless you subdue Zhong Liyu and extract all his abilities."

Jie Chenmo's face turned ugly, and his body became stiff.

Because he knew that if no effective medicine could be found, the Jie family might really do that.

Xie Lan looked indifferent: "It seems that you know your family very well. If they really get to the point of being crazy, they will do that."

"I will stop them," Jie Chenyou clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he promised.

Xie Lan glanced at him: "Then you'd better keep your word, otherwise what awaits the Jie family will be the crusade and trial of all outsiders."

Jie Chenyou closed his eyes heavily, and Xie Lan turned around and walked back.
