The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

Eric looked at Lawrence again: "Uncle, I think I understand. You are right. We are a family. I am willing to stay and help you."

"What?" Gu Yueze raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief, "Little yellow-haired boy, you..."

Gu Xuan was also shocked.

The two looked at each other and saw the same question in each other's eyes: Is Ari betraying us?

Lawrence was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes piled up together: "Good! Good! This is my good nephew!"

Eric remained calm, not even frowning: "But I have a condition."

"Oh?" Lawrence narrowed his eyes and gently rubbed his finger on the trigger.

"Don't hurt her." Ai Rui looked at Gu Xuan and said, "You know she is very important to me. Sparing her is just a favor to me."

Lawrence rolled his eyes and suddenly showed a sinister smile: "Okay."

He was worried that he couldn't find any leverage to control Eric, but now his nephew had handed his weakness to him.

He can use this woman to control Eric.

Eric: "Thank you, uncle."

Gu Yueze's eyes widened: "What about me? Shouldn't you also plead for me?"

His movement attracted Lawrence's attention.

Lawrence looked at Gu Yueze and smiled sinisterly: "Give him some more pepper water to taste, so he knows the consequences of going against me, Lawrence!"

"Fuck you!" Gu Yueze yelled as he was held up by two burly men. "Ari, please beg your uncle to let me go! You bastards... Gu Xuan, do you see clearly? You are not allowed to fall in love with this little yellow—ugh!"

A heavy punch shut him up completely.

Gu Xuan watched Gu Yueze being beaten and said anxiously, "Ari, please beg for mercy! If this continues, he will die..."

Eric looked at Lawrence and said, "Uncle, it would be boring to kill him all at once. My suggestion is to keep him and torture him slowly."

Lawrence raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

He turned to look at his men and waved his hand casually: "Take these two 'distinguished guests' to the guest rooms."

Lawrence deliberately emphasized the word "distinguished guest" and signaled his men to take Gu Xuan away as well. "Treat her well and don't neglect her."

Several men came forward and carried Gu Xuan.

As they passed by, Eric's fingers lightly stroked her palm.

Gu Xuan's pupils dilated slightly, then she regained her composure and was taken away obediently.

"Now, my good nephew." Lawrence pushed the wheelchair forward and invited enthusiastically: "I will take you to taste delicious Chinese food."

Eric smiled and put on a submissive expression: "Okay."

Boone was lying on the ground with his gums bitten to pieces. Damn his father, could he not see that he could not get up?

Who is his son? Why does he treat Ari more affectionately than him?

Boone pounded the ground angrily.

His face was pressed against the cold ground, his right arm was twisted at an abnormal angle, and every breath brought him severe pain as if his ribs were broken. But what hurt more than his body was his father's indifferent attitude.

Butch came over and helped him up.

Boone gritted his teeth and said, "Father...how could he do this?"

Bu Qi lowered his head and whispered, "Why are you so anxious? Father is just using him."

Boone raised his head and widened his eyes. When he saw Butch's affirmative look, he instantly came to his senses.

......

In the room, Lawrence was inviting Eric to have Chinese food.

Lawrence highly recommends the fish head tofu soup and the chopped pepper fish head.

But Ai Rui was so preoccupied with the four children that he had no appetite at all. Especially when he saw the chopped pepper fish head on the table and remembered the chopped pepper water he had just poured on Gu Xuan, his eyes turned colder. "Gu Xuan is injured. I want to go see her."

Lawrence continued to eat, his smile undiminished: "Since my uncle has promised you, he will naturally not touch her. I have had her placed in a luxury suite. It's just right for her to take a shower and change into clean clothes."

Eric said nothing, staring at Lawrence with a serious look.

Lawrence seemed oblivious to his coldness as he picked up a piece of fish and ate it with relish. "Try it! This fish is really tender and fresh, with firm meat. Paired with the spicy chopped pepper, it's absolutely delicious!"

Eric glanced at Lawrence's fat body and felt disgusted.

Is this how he ate himself into this state?

"I'm not hungry." Eric pushed the bowl away. "Since uncle likes it so much, leave it all for him."

The smile on Lawrence's face gradually faded, and his tone became meaningful: "Eri, uncle really wants to be good to you."

Subtext: Don’t be ungrateful.

Ai Rui curled his lips and said, "I naturally understand my uncle's intentions, but I just want to make sure Gu Xuan is safe."

Lawrence narrowed his eyes and slowly put down his chopsticks: “Do you care so much about that woman?”

Eric looked at him directly: "Yes."

After a while, Lawrence suddenly smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Okay, you go, but..."

He paused, his tone hinting at a reminder, "Don't let your uncle down. Everyone around here is his people."

You can't run away even if you want to.

Eric smiled and said, "I understand, uncle."

......

In the luxurious suite, Gu Xuan had just finished taking a shower.

She stood in front of the mirror, looking at the skin on her shoulder that was burned red by the chili water. She touched it lightly and hissed in pain.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

She turned around suddenly, and the moment she saw Eric, her tense body relaxed a little.

"Eri." Her voice was a little hoarse.

Ari's gaze fell on her shoulder and his eyes suddenly darkened.

"They didn't treat your wounds?"

Gu Xuan shook her head: "They said they would send the medicine later, but no one has come yet."

Ai Rui's eyes darkened. He turned and walked towards the door, and said coldly to the bodyguard outside: "Go get the golden medicine, now."

The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, but under Eric's cold gaze, he finally left quickly.

Gu Xuan looked at his tense back and asked softly, "You...are not on Lawrence's side?"

Ari was silent for a moment, then walked back to her and said in a very low voice: "What do you think?"

Gu Xuan stared into his eyes and suddenly smiled: "I don't think so."

The corners of Eric's mouth rose slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. He whispered, "Don't worry, I'll take you out."

Gu Xuan nodded and was about to say something when footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

The bodyguard pushed the door open and handed over the ointment: "The medicine is here."

Ari took it and said indifferently: "Get out."

After the door closed, he looked at Gu Xuan again, his eyes softening: "I'll help you apply the medicine."

Gu Xuan looked at him, and the words he had just said emerged in her mind, and she was hesitant to speak.

Is he really willing to go against the entire Bronn family for her?

Or were those words just to save her and deceive Lawrence...

After applying the medicine, Ai Rui finally remembered to ask, "Where's Gu Yueze?"
