After a while, I heard Si Wen say:

"Just choose a better community to buy. I think Tongfang community is pretty good."

Uncle Zhong glanced at Si Wen through the rearview mirror and saw that she looked listless, completely different from the sunny look she had just had with Miss Lin Xi. He quickly responded:
"Okay, Miss, I'll ask the agency tomorrow."

"Ah."

Si Wen leaned back in her seat and looked out the window.

As time went by, she felt more and more lonely.

Especially when I saw Lin Xi and Xue Yang as a couple, I felt even lonelier.

But even if she is lonely, what else can she do?

Going back home would only add to my troubles.

Si Wen let out a long breath, and then continued to look out the car window.

It seems that only by looking at the hustle and bustle of traffic outside the window can I feel that I still exist truly.

……

It was already past twelve o'clock when Mingyue returned to Wang's house after she finished arranging tomorrow's affairs.

As soon as I got home, I heard a weird voice:
"Sister, congratulations. I heard that you sold that money-losing supermarket. That's a great move."

Mingyue's pretty face darkened. When she looked over, she saw Wang Duoduo sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, a mocking smile on his face.

"Shut up. If it weren't for you, would I have sold this supermarket? Instead of spending your time mocking me, you should think about how you should live in a foreign country for the next three years."

When Wang Duoduo heard Mingyue’s words, his face instantly darkened.

Little did he know that just a small decision would make those hateful and troublesome people stop coming.

Didn’t you always beg to go to the supermarket to buy things in the past?

Nowadays, they run away eagerly when others give them the little favor.

Wang Duoduo hasn't realized his mistake until now.

Such ideas are destined to be eliminated by the times.

"Do you think this is still the feudal era? Wang Duoduo, let me tell you, even in the feudal era, the common people are still a group that cannot be ignored. Haven't you heard that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it? Do you really think that your supermarket is the only one in the entire Yancheng? If you look down on the common people, you will only end up dead."

"..."

Wang Duoduo was speechless.

"You're going to fly to the United States tomorrow, so go to bed early and try to come back reborn as soon as possible, otherwise... the person you want to pursue may become someone else's girlfriend."

"What do you mean?"

Wang Duoduo asked.

Mingyue ignored him and went upstairs.

After all, he is my biological brother, even though they don’t have the same mother.

Mingyue still hopes that he won't continue like this.

You can grow up earlier.

But if he doesn't listen, then she won't do anything about it.

Wang Duoduo chased to Mingyue’s room, looked at the closed door, wanted to knock, but gave up.

"Damn Mingyue, if you dare to trick me, I won't let you off easily."

Leaving behind some indignant words, Wang Duoduo turned and left.

He has a flight tomorrow afternoon, so he still has time to get some things done.

……

Xue Yang and Lin Xi returned to their home in Tongfang Community.

The time was just after eleven o'clock.

This is the advantage of being close to the school.

It’s convenient to go home and you don’t have to fight with your roommates for the bathroom.

Not to mention the need to worry about having different living habits from his roommates. Xue Yang had to admit that during the time he was with Lin Xi, he was somewhat spoiled.

After Lin Xi fell asleep, Xue Yang came downstairs to the community.

Uncle Liu was already waiting for him.

He just came back from the police station.

"Uncle Liu, how are those four people now?"

"It has been handed over to the police station."

"Ah."

Uncle Liu looked at Xue Yang's gloomy expression and asked, "Master Xue, are you blaming yourself?"

Xue Yang took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and asked Uncle Liu if he wanted to smoke. Seeing that the other party shook his head, he took it back, took out a cigarette, and lit it himself.

He doesn't have much of a smoking habit and only takes a puff or two when he has to.

But tonight, he took one puff after another until the cigarette was finished, then he slowly spoke:
"If I hadn't been busy with work, Xiaoxi might not have encountered such a thing."

He worked to give Lin Xi a better life, but now because of his work, he put Lin Xi in danger.

If Xiaoxi hadn't practiced self-defense skills since childhood... the consequences would have been disastrous.

If something really happened to Xiaoxi tonight, Xue Yang couldn't help but wonder, is it really right to work so hard?
"Master Xue, you don't have to blame yourself. The young lady has the skills to protect herself, and I'm watching nearby, so nothing will go wrong. What happened today was just an accident. If the young lady knew that you would blame yourself so much, she might go out less often in the future." Uncle Liu comforted him.

But in fact, he also felt very guilty.

I thought that there were college students there, and with so many students shopping, nothing would happen...

Lin Xi has never wanted to be a burden to Xue Yang.

If she knew that Xue Yang blamed himself so much, she would definitely blame herself first and ask why she went out.

"Master Xue, actually, this is mainly my responsibility. I will explain the situation to the chairman tomorrow and will not make it difficult for you."

Uncle Liu knew that it would be difficult to explain to the chairman when such a thing happened just after he got engaged to the eldest daughter.

He will take this matter upon himself.

"If you explain the situation to Uncle Lin, will you be punished?" Xue Yang just asked.

"Master Xue, don't worry. I have watched the eldest lady grow up since she was a child. Even if there is a punishment, it will not be too severe."

Xue Yang was silent for a while, then said, "Uncle Liu, you can go back first. I'll need you to continue protecting the creek in the future."

Uncle Liu opened his mouth, finally nodded, said goodbye to Xue Yang, and left.

As soon as Uncle Liu left, Xue Yang called Lin Zhenhai.

It's not his style to put things off until tomorrow.

Usually, when there is a problem, he solves it on the spot.

"uncle."

"What's the matter with calling me so late?"

Lin Zhenhai's indifferent voice came from the other side.

Obviously, he was still working overtime at this time.

And now the time is past twelve o'clock.

Xue Yang briefly explained to Lin Zhenhai what Lin Xi had encountered today.

"So, with you and Lao Liu here, you didn't protect Xiaoxi, and instead let him deal with those bullies himself, right?"

There was no joy in Lin Zhenhai's voice, but Xue Yang knew that he should be angry at this moment.

"Uncle Lin, I'm sorry. But I promise you, this is the first and last time."

"My daughter just got engaged to you and this happened. I find it hard to believe your assurances."

In fact, Lin Zhenhai already knew what happened to Lin Xi tonight.

But he wanted to see how Xue Yang would handle it.
