I'm just a background board, why do you like me?

At the corner of the stairs on the second floor, Lu Songxi, who could hear everything downstairs, raised his lips silently.

He just didn't believe that without the support of the Lu family, Lu Xihui, who was penniless, could make a comeback.

Lu Linxing was not surprised to receive this message.

He removed Lu Qingwen's number from the blacklist, and the next second.

A familiar ringtone rang.

He skillfully swiped the answer button, and Lu Qingwen's superior voice floated out from the microphone.

"Lu Xihui, if you apologize to me now, I can still say something good about you in front of dad..."

"Who asked you to say nice things?" Lu Linxing interrupted him with a sneer, "I just came to tell you that I have transferred the money. Try to stay away from me in the future. I have a bad temper. I can't control what will happen if I explode."

The Lu family probably forgot that since he became an adult, they have rarely returned to that home.

Living expenses are sometimes available and sometimes not. When I remember, I'll transfer tens of thousands of yuan. But when I don't remember, there will be no money for three or four months in a row.

Lu Qingwen subconsciously felt that Lu Xihui was still being stubborn, and said impatiently:

"Lu Xihui, you won't give up until you see Huang He, right? Xixi has suffered so much, what's wrong with us pampering him? Are you so stingy? Can you please stop making trouble? A three-year-old child is more sensible than you..."

The voice in the microphone kept chattering, and Lu Linxing said coldly: "I said I never make trouble."

Just hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Qingwen stared at the screen in his hand gradually going dark, stunned for a long time.

An indescribable sense of loss filled his heart.

Something seemed to be slipping away, withdrawing from their lives.

Lu Qingwen didn't understand how their family had come to this point.

He used to be looking forward to Lu Xihui's birth and was looking forward to having this little brother.

But before he was born, Xixi disappeared.

The whole family was focused on finding Xixi, so it was inevitable that they would neglect him.

But isn't this normal?

Xixi is also a child of the Lu family. He was only six years old when he disappeared. How scared he must have been to encounter such a thing at such a young age.

Compared to Lu Xihui, who grew up in luxury in the Lu family, she is much happier.

dong dong——

The knock on the door interrupted Lu Qingwen's memories and he turned around.

Lu Songxi poked his head out from behind the door, a hint of timidity flashed in his eyes, "Brother, can I come in?"

Lu Qingwen happened to see this timidity, and was immediately distressed. His voice softened a lot, "Xixi can go into Big Brother's room whenever she wants. There are no so many rules."

He personally walked over and took Lu Songxi's hand to sit on the bed.

"What's wrong? What do you want to see big brother about?"

"Well...I..."

Lu Songxi opened his mouth awkwardly, his eyes somewhat evasive, "Brother, when will the third brother come back? No matter how he treats me, he is still my younger brother."

Lu Qingwen's face darkened, and he felt a little sorry for Lu Songxi since Lu Xi had treated him like this.

He also spoke for him.

"Leave him alone. Let him suffer outside. If he doesn't suffer a little, he will never know his mistakes."

Lu Songxi glanced at Lu Qingwen's expression and felt relieved when he saw that he was full of disgust.

The booth was filled with smoke, and the boy was wearing a mask, so his face could not be seen at all.

Only a pair of peach blossom eyes looked unusually cold under the light.

The man who entered the room turned around and sat down in the booth near the young man.

The younger brothers following him were a little confused, "Brother Ji, don't you always dislike being in the lobby?"

I think the lobby smells too strong.

Are you in a different mood today?

Ji Zhongjiu gently adjusted the cap on his head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to go anymore."

His younger brothers did not ask any further questions about what he said. After all, Ji Chongjiu's thoughts have always been difficult to understand.

in their eyes.

No matter how outrageous or absurd something is, it would not be surprising if it happened to Ji Chongjiu.

The guys walked to the bar and ordered a few drinks. Jize was sitting next to them.

It was not difficult to find them, and with Ji Chongjiu's back, he would not dare to forget it even if he turned into ashes!

Ji Ze whispered a few words to Lu Linxing, then stood up and walked over, "Cousin Ji, why are you free to come here today?"

"I was bored, so I came out to take a look." Ji Zhongjiu glanced at the boy next to him casually, "Your friend?"

Ji Ze looked back at Lu Linxing, smiled and nodded, "Would you like to drink together?"

Ji Zhongjiu did not answer, but stood up, walked to the next room, and sat down opposite Lu Linxing.

Ji Ze stroked his hair with a puzzled expression on his face. Why did he feel that his cousin was a little strange?

He still remembered that before he was invited out for a drink, he had to keep asking.

How come he's so nice now?

Unable to figure it out, Ji Ze had to put the idea behind him.

The rich second generation had already sounded the alarm in their hearts the moment Ji Zhongjiu sat down.

Everyone was on pins and needles.

I didn't even dare to take a breath.

"Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Ji Zhongjiu." Ji Ze sat between the two of them. He said to Ji Zhongjiu and then pointed at Lu Linxing, "My good friend, Lu Xihui."

Although it was noisy all around, this corner was exceptionally quiet.

Ji Zhongjiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "New friend? I've never heard you mention that before."

Lu Linxing raised his eyes, the coldness in his eyes had disappeared, and the bangs on his forehead were all lifted up because of riding a bike.

His eyebrows are long and his eyes are unforgettable at first sight.

He glanced at Ji Chongjiu, who was wearing a baseball cap, half leaning against the back of a chair, and wearing a casual black windbreaker with the collar slightly open, revealing his well-defined collarbone.

His facial features were very handsome, at least they were the most striking facial features Lu Linxing had ever seen.

His eyelids twitched, and just as he was about to look away, the other person's gaze moved over.

The four looked at each other, one with a smile and the other expressionless. After just a second, Lu Linxing was the first to look away.

Ji Zhongjiu gave a silent chuckle.

"We've known each other for ten years. His family is rather special and he doesn't like to show off, so we seldom play together in public." Ji Ze, who was unaware of all this, explained.

But I became more and more doubtful.

When did my cousin become so curious?

Lu Linxing stood up and interrupted his thoughts, "It's too late, I'll go back first."

"I'll drive you there." Ji Ze said quickly.

Lu Linxing turned around, her dazzling peach blossom eyes curved, "You forgot, I came here by bike."

"Let's go, friend."

The young man waved his hand in a free and easy manner. His back was slender and the loose sweatshirt concealed his body lines, making him look even taller and slimmer.

Ji Zhongjiu retracted his gaze, and Ji Ze picked up the wine glass, "Cousin, shall we toast?"

Ji Zhongjiu glanced at the wine in his hand and said calmly, "Drink it yourself."

He stood up slowly and walked out the door.
