When Luo Xi was little, he remembered that his father was a man who loved his wife very much.

And his mother was beautiful.

She was a totally gorgeous woman. Even when she quarreled bitterly with his dad, smashed up jewelry and dear antique, or cut the expensive wedding dress with scissors furiously, she did not look ugly at all.

Her every move, frown, and smile all looked extremely gorgeous.

His father used to hold him on his lap, gently telling him that his mother was the most beautiful woman in the world.

No one could surpass her.

Besides, his father told him that he was very like his mom.

Just because of this, his father told Luo Xi that he would have a beautiful wife in the future and live a happy life.

At that time, Luo Xi didn’t know what love was. He just felt that his dad and mom lived a happy life.

To curry favor with his mom, his dad would do whatever he could.

It was just that his mom always cold-shouldered, despised, and detested his dad.

Sometimes when Luo Xi spent some time alone with his mom, she would even show her aversion towards him.

She said, “If only you had not been born.”

The words confused Luo Xi, but Luo Xi could understand that his mom hated him.

Even though his mom hated her husband and her son, she still stayed with them.

Luo Xi’s dad was a normal and contented person. As long as his wife stayed with him and their son, he would be pleased and happy.

However, Luo Xi’s mom didn’t enjoy an unexceptional life.

When Luo Xi was seven, his mom ran away with some other man.

Before she left, she stole a great deal of money from Luo Xi’s dad.

Since then, his dad had been ill and had never recovered. During the time Luo Xi’s father waited for his mom’s news, his illness worsened and he died very soon.

That was when Luo Xi began to detest women, especially those ingrates who betrayed their men.

Then he wouldn’t trust any women in the world.

And he had never thought of living together with one in his life.

But even so, Luo Xi’s life did not go well.

His uncle always found fault with him and tried to sideline and set him up again and again.

Luo Xi’s uncle tried to let Luo Xi’s grandfather completely lose faith in him.

Luo Xi knew that he would finally meet his doom if this went on.

His uncle dared not to hurt him when his grandfather was alive.

But his grandfather was getting on age and would die someday.

When he died, what could he do?

For an instant, lots of things flashed through Luo Xi’s mind.

Song Yunxuan looked at Luo Xi, saying, “Childe Luo, please think about your future.”

Luo Xi frowned, and his hand which hung in the air trembled.

Song Yunxuan said, “Perhaps you are in a bad mood. When you calm down, talk to me if you will.”

Luo Xi pressed his lips and slowly put down his hand. His eyes revealed his hesitance.

Seeing Luo Xi’s reaction, Zang Linger knitted her brows.

Song Yunxuan did not go any further, saying, “I’ll leave. I’ve got something else to do. See you.”

With this, Song Yunxuan turned around.

After taking two steps forward, Song Yunxuan heard Luo Xi’s voice, “Betty, see them out.”

Hearing this, the maid who led them in just now entered and said to Song Yunxuan and Zang Linger, “This way, please.”

Song Yunxuan gave a backward glance at Luo Xi.

Luo Xi also looked at her, frowning.

After slightly nodding her head, Song Yunxuan left with Zang Linger.

After they left the Luo Family, Zang Linger asked Song Yunxuan dubiously, “Will Luo Xi work with you?”

“I’m not sure. But I can guarantee that he’ll ponder it over.”

After pondering for a moment, Zang Linger asked, “What else do you know?”

Zang Linger’s words amused Song Yunxuan. She asked, “What do you mean?”

“I think you must know something that I don’t.”

“I really don’t know anything else.” Song Yunxuan denied, “I’m from Yuncheng, and it was only yesterday that I met Luo Xi. How could I know something that you don’t?”

“But it seems that you know him very well.”

“Not really. But I don’t think he is that bad.”

Most rumors were formed on mistaken premises. Even if it was a minor mistake, it would turn into a big one through all kinds of hearsay.

People would talk. This was how it worked.

Song Yunxuan was not a person that believed in rumors. Before she judged someone, she must see him in person.

After seeing Luo Xi, Song Yunxuan returned to the King Hotel to have a rest.

The sky was still cloudy at night.

Mei Qi knocked on the door. Hearing that, Song Yunxuan went to open it.

Mei Qi said to her at the door, “Childe Gu Yi will go out tonight.”

“So late?”

“I made a deal with him and will meet him at the bookstore at No.7 wharf.”

Song Yunxuan nodded, replying, “OK, I see.”

“At seven.”

Song Yunxuan took a look at her watch, smiling, “Let me get dressed first.”

“OK. I’ll be waiting outside.”

Mei Qi waited for Song Yunxuan outside the door.

After getting dressed, Song Yunxuan left her room and hurried to the No.7 wharf with Mei Qi.

While driving, Mei Qi said, “I saw Gu Yi outside his school today.”

Song Yunxuan smiled, “I don’t think you can talk with him there. Shao Tianze must have got lots of men around Gu Yi.”

Mei Qi said, “Just as you expected, there were many bodyguards around Gu Yi.”

“So how did you make the deal with Yi?”

Song Yunxuan was curious.

Mei Qi replied, “I asked the teacher in the school to send a message to him.”

Hearing that, Song Yunxuan couldn’t help chuckling, “You are really resourceful. You’ve got your men everywhere.”

“It’s just an old friend of mine. And he only needed to lift a finger.”

“Nevertheless, I’m very grateful to him. Prepare a gift and send it to him.”

Song Yunxuan ordered Mei Qi.

Mei Qi nodded, “Let me thank you on behalf of him.”

“It’s nothing.” Seeing the night scene flashing by, Song Yunxuan continued, “I’ll remember every person that helped me before. And of course, I’ll also remember those who hurt me.”

Shao Tianze was such a b*stard.

He supervised Yi to this extent. Did he treat him as a criminal?

Song Yunxuan held grudge against Shao Tianze, but she did not show it.

After some time, they got to the bookstore and found Gu Yi. Gu Yi looked around and greeted Song Yunxuan, “Sister Yunxuan.”

Hearing Gu Yi calling her like that, Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “Wow, now you are calling me sister?”

Gu Yi paid no attention to her teasing. He just asked her, “How is Miaomiao in Yuncheng?”

Song Yunxuan was gratified to see that Gu Yi still thought of Miaomiao in such a circumstance.

“She’s doing good.” Song Yunxuan held Gu Yi’s hand and took him to a secret bookshelf inside the bookstore. Then she squatted, looking at Gu Yi and asking, “So how about you? How is your life in Harbor City?”

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s question, Gu Yi lowered his eyes, nodding, “Not bad.”

The life in Harbor City was surely worse than the one in Yuncheng.

However, he couldn’t stay in Yuncheng. Thus he had no choice but to stay in Harbor City.

Song Yunxuan grabbed his arm, smiling, “Don’t worry. Enjoy your life in Harbor City. You will have a chance to return to Yuncheng.”

“Okay.” Gu Yi nodded.

Song Yunxuan added, “You must be careful in Harbor City.”

“I’ve got many bodyguards. Don’t worry.”

Song Yunxuan nodded, not going any further.

It was just that she could not figure out what Shao Tianze had got up in his sleeve now.

Judging from the thing that Shao Tianze sent Gu Yi to Harbor City, he didn’t like the son anymore.

And it was partly because of Gu Changle’s pillow talk.

The more Gu Changle’s pillow talk was, the more Shao Tianze wobbled.

Besides, Shao Tianze was basically a heartless man.

“Even if it appears to be safe, you still need to be careful.”

Song Yunxuan said to Gu Yi.

Gu Yi gently frowned.

Song Yunxuan added, “Cats hide their claws, right?”

Thinking of his mom’s death, Gu Yi nodded firmly.

Song Yunxuan was right. After living with Gu Changge for so many years, Shao Tianze actually betrayed her and killed her.

How could he treat his son left by Gu Changge well?

Exiling him to Harbor City was just Shao Tianze’s first step. Who knew what Shao Tianze would do to him in the future?

Song Yunxuan stroke Gu Yi’s hair, and her eyes were filled with love for him, “You just need to be careful in Harbor City, and everything will be fine. I’ll also send someone to protect you in secret.”

Gu Yi nodded.

Song Yunxuan sighed. Then she rose to her feet and held Gu Yi’s hand, asking him, “What books do you want? I’ll buy them for you.”

Looking at the shelf that was filled with books, Gu Yi lowered his eyes, saying, “I don’t want to buy books.”

Song Yunxuan smiled, saying, “Your dad wants you to study hard in Harbor City. You don’t want to fail him, right?”

Gu Yi slightly sneered, “If I don’t learn anything, he will be happy.”

“Since you know it, get a few books.”

Shao Tianze didn’t want Gu Yi to inherit the Shao enterprise.

What he wanted was to let Gu Changle have a child for him or have a child with some other woman, and then he would let him inherit the Shao enterprise.

But the Shao enterprise belonged to Gu Changge.

How could Gu Changge let a b*stard inherit her company?

If Gu Changge wanted to choose an heir, the person must be Gu Yi or Miaomiao.

Only her son and daughter were qualified to inherit the whole Gu’s.
