After thinking it over carefully, Join put the watch away, then turned around and handed Xuan'er a medicine bottle.

"If I'm not mistaken, the medicine Lilith gave you was definitely not for diarrhea. When you go back, take one pill a day. After a month, you'll be fine."

After taking the medicine bottle, Xuan'er took a careful look at it and put it away.

But Join was not very reassured, and reminded him of the symptoms he might have, as if he was afraid that Xuan'er would forget.

Xuan Er looked at Join helplessly and said, "You're so long-winded. You've said the same thing twice! Don't worry, I will definitely be careful. As long as you don't stand on Lilith's side, you are my partner, and I will not betray my partner!"

Looking straight into Xuan'er's eyes, Join didn't expect that a child's eyes could be so sharp. They were exactly the same as his father's.

Seeing Join in a daze, Xuan'er urged impatiently: "Okay, then let's make it a deal!"

After saying that, Xuan'er sneaked out, while Join stayed there, deep in thought.

……

Pushing Xiao Jincheng under the sycamore tree, Lilith gently massaged his legs, looking up from time to time and smiling, "Grandpa, is this comfortable?"

Reaching out and touching Xuan'er's hair, Xiao Jincheng smiled and said, "Lilith is really filial."

Hearing the compliment, Lilith seemed very happy and said, "It's my duty to be filial to Grandpa."

Xiao Jincheng sighed and said, "Oh, it would be great if every child could be as sensible as you."

Hearing this, Lilith showed a confused expression and asked knowingly, "What's wrong? Did someone make Grandpa angry?"

Looking up, Xiao Jincheng looked into the distance, frowned, and said, "I don't know what's wrong with Xuan'er lately. He's always absent-minded, not serious about his work, and has even learned to lie. Sigh, I really don't know what's wrong with him. He wasn't like this at the beginning."

While massaging Xiao Jincheng's legs, Lilith smiled and said, "Children, of course, get bored with the old and love the new. After the initial excitement, they'll naturally get tired. But Xuan'er is so smart. With some guidance from Grandpa, he'll definitely come to his senses and turn back."

Xiao Jincheng shook his head and said, "I think I overestimated that kid's ability. Maybe he was just pretending to be smart. After a long time, he didn't want to pretend anymore, so his true face was revealed."

Hearing Xiao Jincheng say this, Lilith was almost overjoyed, but she still looked worried on the surface and advised him in a 'sympathetic' manner, "Grandpa, don't say that. After all, he is a descendant of the Xiao family, so he is definitely not an ordinary child. Look at how capable Mingyang is. Xuan'er has inherited Mingyang's strengths, so he is definitely a rare talent."

Thinking of Xiao Mingyang's rebellion, Xiao Jincheng frowned even more tightly and said, "Who knows if the one I trained will be another Xiao Mingyang? This is really too risky!"

Seeing Xiao Jincheng gradually dislike Xuan'er, Lilith almost wanted to scream. She hadn't expected her plan to be so successful. As long as she worked harder, she believed that Grandpa would give up Xuan'er, and she would become his favorite again!

However, although Lilith appeared happy on the surface, she still said earnestly, "But we've already brought Xuan'er here, and we can't send him back. We must train him well. Grandpa, please don't be so petty with a child. Maybe when Xuan'er figures it out, he'll naturally be obedient."

Xiao Jincheng seemed very touched and said, "Grandpa ignored you a while ago. I didn't expect you to speak up for Xuan'er. Alas, it was Grandpa who was confused. You are the support of our Xiao family. Grandpa should take care of your emotions more."

Hearing this, Lilith smiled and said, "Why would I be jealous of a child? Besides, I'm Xuan'er's adoptive mother, and I really want to see him do well. I'm also responsible for not raising Xuan'er well. I hope Grandpa won't blame Xuan'er. I will also work hard to guide him and get him back on the right path as soon as possible."

Patting Lilith's shoulder, Xiao Jincheng sighed, "You're truly worthy of being raised by your grandfather. I'm very pleased to hear what you said."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Jincheng seemed very tired and put his hand on his forehead.

Seeing this, Lilith hurriedly said, "Grandpa, you must be tired. I'll take you back and rest."

Xiao Jincheng nodded, no longer having the strength to speak.

Lilith stood up and stood behind Xiao Jincheng with a smug smile, thinking that if this continued, it would not be long before her grandfather would lose patience with the bastard, and then she could throw him into the sea to feed the fish!

Lilith was feeling proud, but she didn't notice Xiao Jincheng in front of her, who had a fierce look on his face, revealing a murderous aura.

According to Lilith's timing, Xuan'er will become more and more sleepy, with no time to learn skills from his grandfather, and only know how to sleep. Such a young child is the most energetic. While he is running around all day, Xuan'er hides in his room and sleeps. Anyone who sees him will think he is lazy.

In order to hide his tracks, Xuan'er actually stayed in the room all day, but he didn't sleep. Instead, he drew a floor plan of the Xiao family's house from memory.

If someone comes to rescue Dad, they will definitely need to know the terrain here very well, so getting a topographic map for yourself will definitely be helpful.

At the same time, Xuan'er used a computer to make a copy of the Xiao family's accounts to avoid Xiao Jincheng being truly disappointed in her. Although the Xiao family had a dedicated financial staff to manage the accounts, the fact that she could recreate it from memory and analyze the pros and cons would definitely shock Xiao Jincheng.

Although Xuan'er couldn't go out, it didn't prevent him from understanding the situation outside, because Lao Fang would bring meals to Xuan'er and tell him about what was happening outside.

Xuan'er was not surprised to hear that Lilith was valued again.

But Old Fang was very worried about Xuan'er and said, "If the master really wants to give up on you, then your situation will be dangerous! Xuan'er, listen to Grandpa Fang and stop pretending. I'm afraid the master will lose patience with you!"

Xuan'er wrote and drew, without looking up, and said, "I've been in the spotlight for too long. It would be inhumane not to give some people a chance to show their talents."

"What about you?"

"I'm fine. After all, I'm the great-great-grandson of my great-grandfather. He won't do anything to me."

Lao Fang frowned and was about to say something, but then closed his mouth.

Xuan'er, no matter how smart he is, is still a child. He doesn't know the darkness of the Xiao family and naively believes that family affection will save his life. If I don't tell him, Xuan'er will continue to be naive, which will put him in more and more dangerous situations. But if I tell him, he is so young that he will definitely think that the world is dark.

Oh, this is so difficult.

Seeing that Old Fang looked embarrassed, Xuan'er looked up and said, "Grandpa Fang, what do you want to say?"
