The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Why does she only care about her adopted son when her own son is living such a miserable life?

Luo Huai sobered up considerably.

She didn't leave.

I continued listening to what was happening inside.

Xing Zhengyu: "Mom, I'm twenty-nine. Thanks to your teachings over the years, I'm fully capable of supporting myself."

"Then you're my child too!" Mother Xing shook her head. "No, you can't leave. As for the company..."

The women of the Xing family never participate in the group's decision-making. She looked at Xing's father.

Xing's father said, "The capable should occupy the position."

He has nurtured Xing Zhengyu for so many years, expending so much effort, resources, and money. He can't just kick him out of the group as soon as his biological son is found. First, all his hard work can't be wasted, and second, it would undermine morale.

Their biological son is still a good-for-nothing. If they really hand over power, their branch of the family will be finished.

First, send them to the group for training. If they improve, they can be given authority. If they are hopeless, the Xing family will just be supporting another person.

It's good for the two brothers to compete.

Xing Zhengyu's gaze deepened. He knew that his father always cherished the blood ties with Xing Yanzhao, but he also understood that whoever could protect the Xing family's wealth and prosperity, and whoever could elevate the Xing Corporation to a higher level, would ultimately be in power.

Xing Yanzhao, Xing Yanzhao, how can you compete with me when you've had limited resources since childhood and never received an elite education?

There was originally also the Pei family.

Today he married Pei Youyou, and the Pei family's power is now his.

People started coming out one after another.

The people nearby quickly pulled Luo Huai to a corner to hide.

This dodge.

Even after Xing Yanzhao was brought back, he couldn't find anyone.

He was still on the phone, saying, "Are you all alright? It's good that you're alright. Is the old lady still angry? Try to appease her. I'm fine, I'm doing great."

How could it not be good to marry the one you love?

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I can't find you."

"Who?" the wilderness asked.

"My wife." Xing Yanzhao looked around.

"Ran?"

"I'll sew your mouth shut, you bastard." Xing Yanzhao hung up the phone, turned his head, and saw someone peeking out from around the corner.

"Young Master! Young Mistress is here!"

Xing Yanzhao strode over.

"Young Master, I'm leaving now!"

The hotel staff member slipped away.

Only Luo Huai sat on the stairs in the corner. Her eyes were somewhat vacant, and her cheeks and the corners of her eyes were flushed from drinking.

It's like she's been crying a lot.

She sat obediently, looking up at him without saying a word.

Xing Yanzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said fiercely, "What are you doing hiding here?"

"I heard you." Luo Huai's head was a little sore from looking up, so she shifted her bottom to the side and patted the cold steps with her little hands.

The filming was quite realistic; you could even hear the sound.

Xing Yanzhao sat down next to her and saw her twist her neck. He then reached out and pinched the back of her neck.

"Comfortable." Luo Huai couldn't help but sigh, squinting his eyes comfortably.

It turns out that pinching the back of the neck is more comfortable than touching the head.

Xing Yanzhao laughed; the young girl was no longer reserved after drinking.

"What did you hear?"

"They insulted you and even drove Grandma away." Luo Huai frowned. "And, they even heard about your past... your alcoholic father, your gambling mother, you running away from home, Grandma..."

"Grandma will take you home."

“Yes.” Xing Yanzhao did not deny any of his past experiences, nor did he find it difficult to talk about. “It was the old lady who brought me back, and Kuangye was the first to find me.”

Luo Huai turned his head and looked over.

He propped up his swaying head with one hand.

He blinked his eyes, looking very curious.

Xing Yanzhao rarely talks about his past, but seeing that she was behaving like a child wanting to hear a story, he told her.

"We argued over an empty bottle. He couldn't win the fight with me, and being a coward, he turned around and went to complain to the old lady. The old lady asked me if I had a place to stay, and I said no."

The old lady took him home.

That very night, the timid Wilderness got into a fight with him.

She was crying as she hit him.

Because the old lady couldn't afford to raise another child.

The family lived in a dilapidated, leaky bungalow, located in the outskirts of Ningcheng, next to a garbage dump.

Finally, the old lady heard the commotion and came out to break up the fight.

"The old lady was kind, so I didn't want to leave. I told her that he could keep all the bottles we collected from now on, and the kid agreed." Xing Yanzhao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "He's got no ambition."

Luo Huai couldn't laugh.

Girls are naturally more empathetic, especially Luo Huai, who grew up living under someone else's roof.

My eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"Poor little thing..."

"Hmm?" Xing Yanzhao turned his head to look at him.

Luo Huai added, "Brother Zhao."

Poor thing, Brother Zhao.

Xing Yanzhao's smile deepened as he stood up and scooped Luo Huai up with one hand, saying, "Let's go back."

Luo Huai managed to keep his balance and catch up.

This time, Xing Yanzhao slowed down, and the two of them went up the elevator together.

As Luo Huai stepped out of the elevator, the smell of alcohol suddenly rose in his stomach, and he couldn't help but let out a soft burp, which went almost unnoticed.

Because the moment she noticed the hiccup, she immediately closed her mouth and tried to swallow it.

Burping while drunk in front of someone is not only impolite, but also not in line with Luo Huai's character.

Having lived under someone else's roof for so long, she mostly swallowed her anger in silence.

I couldn't swallow it completely, and some of the alcohol fumes came out from the tip of my nose, pungent and irritating to my eyes.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she staggered slightly as she lifted her foot.

This time, his large hands rested on her waist, rotating along her waist and slowly moving to the front, where Xing Yanzhao pulled her into his arms.

Luo Huai felt extremely dizzy and his consciousness was slightly scattered. It felt like there was a broad and warm mountain next to him, so he leaned against it.

He gently tapped Xing Yanzhao's head on the chest.

Hard.

Luo Huai suddenly stood up straight, blinking her watery eyes at him, seemingly confused and aggrieved.

And then he obediently remained silent.

Xing Yanzhao wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He slightly pulled his arm back and hugged the person close.

Looking up, the Pei family of three was just coming out of another suite.

The Pei couple merely glanced at them politely before leaving.

Only the three of them remained in the corridor.

Pei Yuanzhou stared at Luo Huai's waist.

The man's arm around her waist was almost blinding.

Xing Yanzhao hugged her even more vigorously, as if asserting his sovereignty.

"The wine cup used for toasting may be small, but it's high-proof liquor..." Pei Youyou suddenly spoke up, noticing that Luo Huai wasn't looking at him. He took a deep breath and looked at Xing Yanzhao.

"Xiao Huai never drinks alcohol, but when someone comes to teach Youyou about wine, Xiao Huai will go along and take a few sips during the learning process."

"She doesn't like alcohol either. She can't taste the aroma of alcohol, and she only feels that it stings her throat, even if it's a low-alcohol drink. She drank a bit too much today and will have a hangover and headache."

"Please take good care of me, Young Master Xing."

“It’s no trouble for husband and wife to talk about such things.” Xing Yanzhao replied naturally. “It’s kind of President Pei to think about Luo Huai, but it’s not good to always be thinking about other people’s wives. Doesn’t President Pei learn his lesson?”

A hint of ruthlessness appeared in the man's eyes.

Pei Yuanzhou said, "I am her brother."

"Really? Then you're a really bad brother." Xing Yanzhao said bluntly, "When you asked her to marry someone in Pei Youyou's place, why didn't you think of yourself as her brother? When you conspired to deceive her, why didn't you say you were her brother? You've taken all the credit, how shameless of you."

"Young Master Xing, why pretend to be innocent after getting such a good deal?" Pei Yuanzhou said angrily. "I think you really like Luo Huai."

"My wife is naturally beautiful, who wouldn't like her?" Xing Yanzhao teased, harboring a secret motive. "Does President Pei, as her older brother, not like her?"
