At this moment, Xiao Yunyi truly felt a little panicked.
He had placed Lan Xi in the hospital because he thought that there would be someone in the hospital who would care about the number of people who didn't dare to lay their hands on her.
But what he didn't notice was that the hospital's president knew Xiao Jianan.
As he thought of this, Xiao Yunyi gave a self-deprecating smile. How could there possibly be someone in this city that his grandfather didn't know!
"Have you decided?"
Xiao Jianan's calm voice sounded from the study room.
"Do I have a choice?"
Xiao Yunyi asked in a mocking tone. Under his calm eyes, there was a surging volcano and angry lava was bubbling.
"Of course you do." Looking directly at his grandson, Xiao Jianan said, "If you agree to not care about Lan Xi from now on, I will have my men arrange for her to be taken away there. Take her to a place where you can't find her and settle her down. You can avoid marrying Mu Yaran in the future as long as you are able to completely take over the Xiao family. Moreover, it won't cause any damage to the Xiao family just because the two of you aren't engaged. Can you do it?
Xiao Yunyi clenched his hands into fists and didn't say anything for a long time.
Even though he was very confident in his own abilities, it would still be very difficult for him to accomplish this in a short period of time. Moreover, how could he bear to let Lan Xi leave his side?
Even if his grandfather didn't do anything to her, Mu Yaran might not have let her off.
In addition, Xiao Yunyi knew that Lan Xi might not listen to their arrangements. She had yet to take revenge, her younger brother had yet to find him, and Lin Shengkun also did not have the punishment he deserved. How could she be willing to leave like this?
"Hur hur." Old Man Xiao imitated Xiao Yunyi's tone as he spoke, "I was the one who personally taught you, so I naturally understand your abilities. It was undeniable that you are the strongest person in the Xiao family's generation. However, it wouldn't be easy for you to completely control the Xiao family so quickly. Before you succeed, you should listen to the arrangements at home. "
Although he didn't want to admit it, Xiao Yunyi knew that the person in front of him was right, and he didn't have any other way to deal with it.
Xiao Yunyi felt a sense of defeat that he had never felt before, as if all of his pride and confidence had been reduced to nothing at this moment.
"Before you fully mature, you can only listen to me. Since we're getting engaged this Sunday, Mu Yaran will be returning to work from tomorrow onwards. I naturally will not care about the existence of Lan Xi after your engagement, but it's best for you to look after her for the next few days. " Xiao Jianan pressed on step by step, "Did you hear what I said?"
"I agree."
Xiao Yunyi closed his eyes, his voice hoarse.
Only he himself knew how much struggle he had experienced in his heart.
He had truly let Lan Xi down this time. He absentmindedly thought that he had just told her yesterday that he would solve all of her troubles. He didn't expect that he would turn his back on her after just a day.
Xiao Yunyi bitterly smiled. The moment he walked out of the study, he returned to his usual cold and detached appearance.
Looking at his sorrowful back, Butler Lu shook his head. So the two of them who were so intimate with each other had turned out like this.
Xiao Jianan pushed open the door and entered the study. He was currently sitting on his office chair and lost in thought while looking at the large character in front of him.
Xiao Yunyi's heart didn't feel good, but how could Xiao Jianan feel good?
For an elderly person, their heart wasn't as hard as it was when they were young. Adding on to that, Xiao Yunyi was the grandson he had grown up with. How could a grandfather be willing to touch his bottom line time and time again?
"Old Lu, do you think he can understand my intentions?"
Butler Lu stood at the side silently.
I don't think so." Old Man Xiao said in a lonely voice, "But this is good too. At least he suffered this loss because of me. It is said that he was cold and experienced, but to me he was still the same kid who played under my knee. He had grown up quite a bit in the past few years and the results he had achieved were quite outstanding. However, he had never passed this stage in his relationship. "If that woman was a little more ordinary, she could have just been a little more simple-minded. However, with her complicated background, how could I not be worried about the Xiao family?
Butler Lu had not spoken a word since he entered the room. He knew that Xiao Jian An needed a listener, not an analyst. And he's always been good at listening.
Xiao Yunyi left and returned to Lan Xi's side. He didn't know when he would return again.
The Xiao family's old patriarch and his housekeeper were still guarding the house, quietly watching the situation outside. Occasionally, a commotion would break out.
Even after Lan Xi and Qiao Lin finished their dinner, Xiao Yunyi still hadn't returned.
Lan Xi was a little worried. However, she was comforted by Qiao Lin. It must be something that had delayed her company.
Although Qiao Lin knew very well that Xiao Yunyi had gone to the old residence.
The reason why she was able to accompany Lan Xi in the hospital for so long today was because Xiao Yunyi had given her a day's leave. Furthermore, because of her previous conversation with Lu Zihao, she had a vague inkling that the old man was going to ask Xiao Yunyi to go there today, and that it was about something related to Mu Yaran.
It wasn't until around eight in the evening that Xiao Yunyi returned. When Qiao Lin saw him return, she immediately left. Lan Xi was the only one left to take care of the red-faced man who reeked of alcohol.
"Why did you go out to drink? Is it a social event? "
Lan Xi gently asked as she helped Xiao Yunyi lie down.
Seeing how Xiao Yunyi was frowning, Lan Xi thought that he was feeling uncomfortable and probed him on his forehead. After some thought, Lan Xi felt that she should make Xiao Yunyi some wine and tea.
Of course, when Lan Xi asked Qiao Lin to make a cup of tea for him, she found that she had already left.
"I'm really thinking for your boss." Lan Xi mumbled to herself as she got up from Xiao Yunyi's side and went to find something from the fridge to make him some tea. "This really is a VIP ward. It has everything you need." Lan Xi sighed.
When Lan Xi turned around, Xiao Yunyi's eyelids twitched as he gave her a quick glance before closing his eyes again.
Lan Xi came back with a cup of hangover tea and helped him up. She slowly fed it to him and coaxed, "Drink it quickly. You won't feel uncomfortable after you finish drinking it. Come …"
Xiao Yunyi obediently finished his sobering tea, and pulled Lan Xi into his embrace after she had turned around and put the cup back in its place.
"Don't go." "Don't leave me."
Lan Xi thought to herself, after drinking so much, Xiao Yunyi is like a child, so childish.
Although he thought this way, his mouth still echoed him. His hand gently caressed his back. "I'm not leaving. I can go there."
"Lan Xi, no matter what happens, don't leave. Stay by my side!"
Xiao Yunyi's voice was frail and frail like nothing Lan Xi had ever heard before. Her heart softened as she replied, "I'm not leaving. I'll stay wherever you are. I definitely won't leave you."
