Lu Yan's words made Lu Lin and Lu Wanting feel like they were falling into an ice cellar.

They both knew that Lu Yan was a bad person.

But Lu Yan was bad before because he was forced to do so by survival.

but now……

His arrogant smile, cold face, and emotionless eyes...

All of this... made the siblings Lu Lin and Lu Wanting feel unfamiliar.

Their younger brother Lu Yan is not like that.

Although he was bad before, he still has humanity.

But now...

The siblings Lu Lin and Lu Wanting found that they could not quite understand the current Lu Yan.

"Lu Yan, was it really you who was responsible for the death of the twins?" Lu Wanting asked.

Before this, she always believed that Lu Yan was not a bad person, he just lacked love.

But now, seeing how things were developing, she was a little uncertain.

"Of course I killed him." Lu Yan raised his chin with a perfect curve provocatively.

"It's just two lives. In my hands, what's the difference between killing them and killing two ants?"

"I think you two have been lacking discipline lately. You actually came to me and quarreled over such a small matter."

"Someone, take these two away."

"Fifty lashes."

Fifty lashes?

The pupils of brother and sister Lu Lin and Lu Wanting trembled.

The 50 lashes that Lu Yan mentioned are different from the ordinary 50 lashes.

That is a punishment that is so painful that it makes people want to die but cannot.

The light in the eyes of the two siblings flickered, but they were finally taken away.

However, the two had just been taken away for a short time, and the young man, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly changed his expression, bit his lips, quickly opened the drawer, and stuffed a pill into his mouth.

After taking the pill, the painful expression on Lu Yan's face gradually eased.

He slumped limply in the chair, not wanting to move.

"Tsk~" He made a disdainful sound.

"No one can change my decision!"

……

Winter in Kyoto is long and cold.

Xie Mucheng studied an unpopular major, and she was the only student under his tutor's name.

After winter came, the weather was cold and the teacher, who had nothing to do, gave Xie Mucheng a holiday more than a month in advance.

Xie Mucheng did not tell her family and planned to drag her luggage back to give her parents a surprise.

She was walking on the street outside the school, planning to hail a taxi back.

Just then, a slightly familiar car stopped beside her.

Lu Yan, who hadn't been seen for a long time, popped his head out from the passenger seat.

"Ms. Mu Cheng, are you going back?"

"I can take you there."

Xie Mucheng couldn't help but look up at Lu Yan.

It seemed like she hadn't seen him for a while since the last hooligan incident.

Thinking about the last time someone helped her block a knife, Xie Mucheng spoke.

"How are your injuries?"

The young man was thinner than before, and a charming smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Thanks to you, Miss Mucheng, I'm almost well now."

"It's just that I'm weak, and I feel a little pain when I exert force occasionally."

The young man frowned, just that little bit of melancholy made people feel as if they had done something wrong.

However, Xie Mucheng has never been very fond of this person, as if she didn't see him at all. She never gets pretentious with others, nor does she allow others to get pretentious with her.

"It's okay, I'm leaving now."

Xie Mucheng dragged her luggage and went to find a car.

Lu Yan got out of the car, walked forward with a smile, and invited him politely and gentlemanly.

"Ms. Mucheng, you want to go back, right? I can take you there."

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

Xie Mucheng opened her mouth and wanted to say something sarcastically to the young man.

But seeing that the young man seemed to be much thinner than last time, he finally changed his words.

"...take a taxi back, just pay for it," she said.

The implication is that if you take someone else's car back, you have to accept the favor.

"Ha~" The young man relaxed and leaned against the car.

"Actually, I have something to ask Miss Mu Cheng." The young man's eyes turned and he already knew how to find a person's weakness.

"I have a set of tea sets from the Northern Song Dynasty in my car. I don't know if it's real or not, so I just came here to ask you for advice."

Xie Mucheng glanced at the young man with a bit of disgust.

"You are so smart, and it has been so long, but you still haven't established contact with my teacher?"

The young man seemed embarrassed, and his earlobes turned slightly red.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Mucheng."

"I may be too stupid and don't know how to please others, so I haven't made any progress."

"You are really modest." Xie Mucheng couldn't help but say.

"Then it's no use for you to come near me every day."

"Miss Mucheng, this is really a tea set from the Northern Song Dynasty. It's a set, very rare."

"Please help me check whether it is real or not, only then I will dare to do business with my employer." The young man pleaded with soft eyes.

Xie Mucheng looked at the luggage behind her, then looked at the road.

It's not time to go home from school yet, and taxis are hard to come by.

She nodded reluctantly.

"OK then."

"But you just need to send it outside."

"Okay." The sadness that surrounded the young man's brows suddenly dissipated, just like the dark clouds that blocked the sun's rays suddenly disappeared.

He walked up and wanted to help Xie Mucheng carry the luggage.

Xie Mucheng glanced at him and said, "You'd better not come up to help."

"I'll help you get your legs off later. I won't pretend."

The young man was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing.

"Heh~"

"Is it that exaggerated?" he asked.

"Or did I scare you last time?"

"Have you forgotten who my parents are?" The girl puffed her lips and raised an eyebrow.

"Cough~" The young man raised his hand to his lips and coughed.

The smile between his brows widened a lot.

The girl looked at him and smiled too.

"You look better when you smile now."

"The usual kind, a little fake."

The smiling young man was stunned for a moment.

Ask, "Really?"

The girl nodded heavily, "Yes, yes."

"Like a sculpted plastic doll."

"Then I'll try my best," he said.

"Let's go, brother Rui." The girl said sarcastically and sat in the back seat.

"Hey, could you help me take a look, please?"

The young man sitting in the front passenger seat turned around and handed Xie Mucheng a set of packaged tea sets with both hands.

Xie Mucheng raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Qingnian Wen.

"Teaware from the Northern Song Dynasty?"

"Yeah, that's right." The young man replied.

"I've had someone authenticate it, and it's probably real."

"But I want to verify it again."

"You know in our line of work, reputation is very important."

“Both shipping and receiving goods must be done very rigorously.”

Xie Mucheng listened to the young man's words and started to dismantle it quickly with her hands.

She took out the tools, looked at them for a long time, and came to a conclusion.

"The Ru kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty was specially made for the imperial family."

"The color is unique, with a beautiful sky-blue color like the clouds breaking after the rain, the glaze is warm and simple, and the crackle is beautiful..."

"This tea set is indeed authentic." Xie Mucheng put the tea set back into the box.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Lu Yan's lips.

"Thank you Miss Mucheng, you really have a good eye."

"You should congratulate yourself first. This set of tea sets can make you a lot of money." The girl said with a rare smile.

"Thanks to Miss Mu Cheng for your good wishes, I will treat you to a meal later."

"Just call me Xie Mucheng, no need to call me Miss. In the past, that would have harmed me."

"Okay, Xie Mucheng, thank you."

Xie Mucheng got off the car on the road outside her house.

Lu Yan's driver helped her take out the luggage.

Lu Yan asked worriedly, "Xie Mucheng, can you handle so many things?"

"Do you want me to help you?"

"Help me, no no." Xie Mucheng waved her hands quickly.

"I have hands and feet, so I won't bully people with disabilities."

"My parents will scold me for being unloving later."

Xie Mucheng stepped back repeatedly as she spoke.

Just at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded towards this side.

"Let go of that girl!"
