C81 Why Do You Have to Deceive Yourself

Lu Zihao went to investigate Ling Qi's identity. Seeing that she couldn't help him, Qiao Lin returned to her room.

Xiao Yunyi was the only one left in the study, and the peaceful and quiet study made him feel a little lonely. After giving it some thought, he turned off the computer and left the study, heading straight for Lan Xi's room.

The room was dark. Xiao Yunyi turned on the light and saw that the room was tidy, so he knew that Qiao Lin had already come to clean it up. Although it was neat, he couldn't find any trace of Lan Xi's presence. It was as though she had never appeared here before.

Lying on the bed with his head buried in the blanket, Xiao Yunyi tried his best to find a trace of Lan Xi's scent between the sheets, but to no avail.

Ye Xiao took in a deep breath. The inside of his nose was filled with the scent of sunlight. Xiao Yunyi felt a trace of exhaustion. He sighed in his heart: Lan Xi, where are you?

Xiao Yunyi thought of Lan Xi as she happily chatted with Chi Mo Han for a while before she prepared to rest. After experiencing so many things today, she felt very tired. It wasn't just her body, but her heart as well.

Chi Mo Han could see her exhaustion, even if his heart still wanted to stay with her a little longer, he held it in.

It didn't matter. There was still a long way to go. One day, he told himself, he will see how good you are to her.

"Have a good rest, I'll be going out first."

After Chi Mo Han and Lan Xi said good night to each other, they left. He still had to find a way to disturb Xiao Yunyi's line of sight, so that he wouldn't be able to find Lan Xi. Otherwise, when he couldn't find anything at Ling Qi's place, he would come back.

In Xiao Jianan's study, Old Man Xiao was practicing calligraphy when Butler Lu came in to report the situation.

"You said that Yunyi went to Lin Shengkun's base to look for Lan Xi tonight, but he came back empty-handed?"

"Yes."

Impossible, there were only these few hidden places in Qingcheng. He had already searched for the rest of the places, but this place was the most likely place he had yet to find. How could he not find it? Where could an orphan parent of Lan Xi go?

Xiao Jianan put down the pen in his hand and quietly pondered.

"No, no, no. This could be an empty fort strategy devised by Chi Mo Han and Lan Xi. They had calculated Yun Yi's heart and thus tricked him. "How about this, during this period of time, get someone to keep an eye on him from Chi Mo Han's side. See what he does, Lan Xi must still be with him."

The Xiao family's old patriarch ordered Butler Lu. Butler Lu nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by someone behind him.

"If that Lan Xi is really at Chi Mo Han's place, then help them hide it from Yun Yi. You absolutely cannot let him find Lan Xi. Didn't you say that Lan Xi left with another man? Then, you should try to lure him up here and confuse his identity as well. "

Housekeeper Lu left, but Xiao Jianan was no longer in the mood to continue writing.

He didn't know who Xiao Yunyi's personality was, but he knew that his determination and his feelings for Lan Xi had already affected his judgement. If this were to continue, he would definitely suffer an even bigger loss.

"Yunyi, don't blame Grandfather. Grandfather did this for your own good."

Old Man Xiao muttered to himself before writing a large word on the paper — Home.

"Someone, send this word to Eldest Young Master."

The servant walked into the study and took out the words Old Man Xiao had written. When he came out, he bumped into Xiao Ran, who was drinking tea in the living room. The servant purposely avoided Xiao Ran's gaze, but he was still discovered by him.

"Wait, what did you take? "Come and show it to me." Xiao Ran said domineeringly.

The servant did not dare to go over. He stood on the spot and stammered, not saying a word for a long time.

Xiao Ran was instantly angered when she saw his appearance. "Pa!" She placed the teacup on the tea table, stood up and walked towards the servant.

Taking the words from the servant, Xiao Ran said fiercely: "What do you mean, do you look down on me? Even if I don't have any status, I'm still the Xiao family's second young master. You, a mere servant, dare to disobey me? Do you not want to work for the Xiao family? If you don't want to, then scram. "

The servant shook his head apologetically. After Xiao Ran gave him a kick, he chased him away. Then, he sat back down on the sofa and unfolded the words in his hand. He saw that there was a big — — home.

Xiao Ran closed the word with a 'whoosh'. She felt that it was a great mockery towards herself.

He had long since lost his home, yet the old man had actually written this word to Xiao Yunyi. Was he hinting at it? Was it to make him completely accept the Xiao family's intentions?

Xiao Ran's mind changed several times as she panicked. She felt that she would soon lose her final resting place.

No, definitely not like this. Xiao Ran silently made a decision in her heart.

He definitely couldn't allow Xiao Yunyi to completely take control of the Xiao family. That way, he could easily find an excuse to kick himself out of the Xiao family. Although he didn't care about what happened last time, he was definitely not a magnanimous person. He had always been the type to take revenge.

The more he read, the more frustrated he became. Xiao Ran ruthlessly tore the word into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

After drinking the cold tea on the table, Xiao Ran calmed himself down. He felt that with his current strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to deal with Xiao Yunyi, so he needed a helper. The best candidate would be the person who had a grudge against Xiao Yunyi.

He knew that it was time for him to find that person.

He grabbed the car keys on the table and walked out in large strides.

No one could rest well that night.

Lan Xi was lying on the bed in her old room. For the first time, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the bed she had lived in for more than twenty years. Perhaps it was because she usually had someone by her side to accompany her, but today, while she was alone in this large bed, Lan Xi felt lonely.

She tried her best to focus on other things to prevent herself from thinking about Xiao Yunyi, but the more it was like this, the more she couldn't let go. In her heart, she secretly cursed herself for being so unpromising, but as she cursed, she couldn't help but cry. Today's events in the coffee shop lingered in her mind.

Lan Xi couldn't help but secretly wonder, if she hadn't come out to meet Chi Mo Han, would she still be in Xiao Yun Yi's embrace? The moment this thought appeared in her mind, Lan Xi ruthlessly slapped herself in the face.

Even if he hadn't met with Chi Mo Han, wouldn't Xiao Yun Yi have gone on a date with Mu Ya Ran?

The emergence of a thing is composed of many reasons, even if today do not see, will see, why deceiving oneself.

So be it, Lan Xi told herself. The best ending would be if she found her little brother and left this place.
