Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

He Xi and Lu Jinan's home is the most beautiful house in the entire area. Their home does not have the flavor of a "nouveau riche" home, but rather has a secluded feel.

As you enter the gate, you can see the purple rose that Lu Jinan carefully planted - Fairy Zixia.

On the other side is a pavilion, a place for dining and barbecue in the summer. Slightly forward is a man-made pond with fish and small water lilies in it. It looks elegant, but cleaning it is a huge project.

Behind the small garden, Lu Jinan specially placed a swing for He Xian. He Xi's original intention was that the pond was not far from the swing. Lu Jinan was worried that her hand would slip and fall into the water. In fact, she still felt that that was more elegant and peaceful.

There was an orchard behind her. Lu Jinan remembered what someone else had said to her: "As long as you have a husband, you have everything."

The gate was locked and Xiao Yan couldn't get in, so he climbed over the wall. Looking at the locked doors and windows everywhere, he sat on the flower bed boredly waiting for someone, and from time to time he fiddled with the flowers that Lu Jinan had carefully maintained.

Although He Xi had only just started working in the fashion industry, she seemed to have learned a rule: whether the design was good or not was not important; the key was the exaggerated publicity and who created it.

Just like the down jackets sold out of season now, we don’t talk about the amount of down filling, but the down content. It has been upgraded from three-proof to five-proof, and you can wear one in the three provinces of Northeast China during the winter. That’s nonsense! You will be frozen to death with that little down content.

When they came back, they found several footprints on the wall at the gate. Judging from the size of the footprints, they must have been left by the same person.

The three of them exchanged glances instantly, and Lu Jinan opened the door with the stones he picked up at the door, trying to make his movements as light as possible.

He thought that thieves nowadays were so bold that they blatantly left their bare footprints at the door. It was no wonder that the thieves chose their house, as their house was decorated so beautifully.

As the door was quietly opened, a man's voice came: "Why did you come back just now? I waited so long that the flowers withered."

It was him! None of the three expected this. He Fei was stunned for a moment: "You climbed over the wall to get in?"

"How else can you get in?"

Xiao Yan's expression was a little awkward: "How is your clothing store business?"

He Fei was still angry with Xiao Yan, so naturally she had nothing nice to say: "Thanks to you not being here, business is very good."

Xiao Yan knew that He Fei was still angry. Although he was unhappy, he did not show it. He said in a low voice: "I am here to ask for your forgiveness."

"Ah?" He Fei seriously doubted her ears, and the words she said were still squeezing Xiao Yan, "No, how could the second young master of the Xiao family be wrong? The one who was wrong was me who was ignorant of the world and stepped into your door."

"Do you have to talk like this? Is there any point in hurting each other?" Xiao Yan frowned and looked at He Fei seriously.

Lu Jinan interjected with a cold remark: "The footprints on the wall have been cleaned up and restored to their original state."

After walking a few steps, he noticed with his sharp eyes that Fairy Zixia had also been moved by him. Three of the flowers were "listless", with no leaves left, leaving them "lonely". When she looked at Xiao Yan again, her eyes were full of indifference and doubt.

"Did the flower irritate you?"

Xiao Yan was stunned by Lu Jinan's cold eyes. He said stiffly, "It's just a few flowers. I'll compensate you."

Lu Jinan stared at Xiao Yan with narrow eyes: "This is the reason why your marriage failed. You don't want to care about anything, and you don't want to spend your time on anything. Even if a pie falls from the sky, you at least have to open your mouth to take it. You are too lazy to even open your mouth."

Xiao Yan was stunned. He thought his good brother would say a few good words for him, but he didn't expect that he would also accuse him of the same thing. Is he the only one who was wrong in this marriage?

Xiao Yan raised the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself: "In your heart, brothers are not as important as your three flowers. We grew up together, and we should be a family. It's fine if you don't comfort me, but why are you blaming me like them?"

It was already May Day and the weather should have been warmer, but Xiao Yan felt cold all over. His family members also accused him of being unmanly, irresponsible, and without his own opinions.

He Fei was also praised for his good behavior, saying that he should work hard for his goals and see the big picture from the small. Without the power of a drop of water, there would be no rivers, lakes or seas. He was just too dependent on his family and too concerned about his reputation.

What's wrong with borrowing money from your family, or what's wrong with your family investing in you? Also ask him what he thinks about his future and whether he has any plans?

He just shook his head when asked, and at worst he could just follow Lu Jinan.

Father Xiao was so angry that he slammed the table and scolded him loudly over the phone: "Follow him? Doesn't he have his own life? He can take care of you, but what about his family? Why should he support you?"

Xiao Yan's face instantly turned red, and he defended himself: "Why do I need his care? Am I the worst child in your eyes?"

Seeing the father and son quarreling over the long-distance call, Xiao's mother angrily hit Xiao's father, snatched the phone and said slowly: "Son, we never meant that. You have always been the best, but no one's future depends on others."

"Son, remember, even if all of us have overlooked your strengths, you should still let your strengths shine and attract people's attention. It's not that we deny you, it's that you don't think highly of yourself from the bottom of your heart."

Dependence is a kind of survival relationship, and it can also be understood as the person in front of you clearing the obstacles for you and paving the way for your success, provided that you will not be abandoned because of uselessness during the process of dependence.

Xiao Yan's body was shaken by his parents' and brothers' words. He clenched his hands into fists and felt like there was a fire burning in his chest.

Then he punched the low wall of the flower bed heavily. With a dull sound, the fence of the flower bed didn't even move, but Xiao Yan's hand was covered in blood.

The dull voice successfully frightened He Xi and He Fei. He Fei's face was filled with worry and distress. She ran back and carefully picked up Xiao Yan's hand to take a look. She turned to He Xi and said, "Xi, the medicine box."

"Oh." He Xi finally recovered from her shock and rummaged in her bag to get the key to open the door.

Unlike He Fei's nervousness, Xiao Yan's expression was much calmer. He pulled back his hand and looked at the bloodstain on the flower bed: "If it doesn't work out, then let's get a divorce."

"Ah?" He Fei bit her lip, walked towards Xiao Yan, raised her hand and slapped him in the face, "You are a cowardly man through and through, with only a good-looking appearance."

He Fei pointed at the people present in a nearly 180-degree semicircle with her hand, and said in a tearful voice: "Ask who is not afraid? I won't talk about those far away, but ask the two people nearby."

Isn't He Xi afraid?

Have.

I was afraid of the unfamiliar environment when I woke up, afraid of communicating with people, afraid of dying again if I failed to complete the mission, afraid of not being able to get along with people and disappointing Lu Jinan's feelings...

Is Lu Jinan afraid?

Have.

He was afraid that one of his decisions would lead to the "nightmare" happening again. His family was innocent. He thought about taking drastic measures to take revenge, but he was more afraid that this would change his family's fate, which had already changed, and return them to the starting point.

Are we going to do nothing just because we are afraid?

"No, we...we...should actively change our...cowardly selves."

Before He Fei could finish her words, Xiao Yan fell headfirst and no matter how hard she tried to pull him back, she couldn't stop him.

He Xi summoned the system to diagnose him: "Fainted from hunger."

"Hungry?" He Xi curled his lips, "Nothing, I'm just hungry. I guess I've been waiting for a whole day."
