Liu Wen is three years older than Li Mo and was once a child prodigy. Of course, like all child prodigies, he was arrogant and had a high opinion of himself.

However, after meeting Li Mo, Liu Wen became insignificant, like the moon meeting the sun, or a stream meeting a river. Li Mo's aura was too dazzling; everyone else paled in comparison. This wasn't surprising. After all, those destined for greatness always receive special treatment.

Liu Wen thought that by shedding Li Mo's shadow, he, like a pearl, could finally shine.

Little did he know that society values ​​connections and interpersonal relationships. Liu Wen, upon entering society, was arrogant and conceited, unaware of his own limitations. As a result, he encountered setbacks and suffered many humiliations before finally realizing his mistake.

But it was too late; he had already cut off all the surrounding paths. If he wanted to succeed, he had to start over somewhere else.

As the old saying goes, "While one's parents are alive, one should not travel far." Liu Wen stayed with his parents and refused to move, ultimately becoming an idle member of the "parasite generation" who sponged off his parents.

In contrast, Li Mo, once a prominent figure, remained as dazzling as ever after entering society, nearly blinding him.

So when Li Mo walked towards him, Liu Wen avoided eye contact and turned to run away.

The difference is too big!

They came from the same family, yet the other person had achieved great success and become a household name. Meanwhile, the older brother was still stuck in the dirt, having accomplished nothing.

I’m too embarrassed to see anyone!

Liu Wen, hampered by his pride, wandered around shyly, leaving Li Mo to chase after him.

He fled, he chased, he couldn't escape...

Well, it didn't happen.

Li Mo's long legs swept across the ditch, and he appeared in front of Liu Wen.

Liu Wen forced a smile, revealing an awkward yet polite one.

Can't we just talk things out properly? This is like forcing someone into prostitution. Liu Wen silently moved to the side, creating some distance.

"I need your help."

Before anyone could speak, Li Mo launched into a tirade, emphasizing the promising future of their collaboration and the immeasurable potential for future achievements.

Liu Wen's eyes lit up as he listened. Working with such a genius was something he could laugh about even in his sleep. His lack of confidence in Li Mo had long since vanished.

He looked up and stared intently at Li Mo, as if he had met his mentor. Standing on the street, he talked to Li Mo about their ideals and grabbed Li Mo's hand, refusing to let go.

He truly is a good brother; even after becoming successful, he hasn't forgotten me. He didn't let me down back then... back then...

Liu Wen racked his brains for a while and realized that the two of them didn't really know each other. It was just that in their youthful arrogance, he had recklessly challenged Li Mo. In reality, he had lost a competition, and Li Mo had no idea of ​​his provocation. He had seen Li Mo a few times in the library afterward, but had no recollection of him after that.

Liu Wen truly hadn't expected that the other party would seek him out after achieving success, and that they would speak so kindly. To express his gratitude, Liu Wen insisted on treating Li Mo to a meal.

"It's already 5 p.m., time for dinner. Come on, bro, I'll treat you to a meal."

Li Mo finally managed to free his hand and wished he could run away right then and there.

They're so enthusiastic, it's almost overwhelming. What exactly happened to Liu Wen after graduation? How did he change so much?

One person asks another for a favor, and the other insists on treating them to a meal.

Li Mo was initially reluctant to go, as he was busy with various matters. However, Liu Wen was so charming and adept at handling people that Li Mo couldn't refuse and had no choice but to go to the restaurant with him.

These past few years of hard work and experience have made Liu Wen much more worldly-wise. He initiates conversations, observes people's expressions, and the two of them get along very well, with almost no awkward silences.

Midway through, Li Mo's communicator rang.

It's Brother Fang.

Because he was outside, Li Mo did not turn on the video.

"Xiao Mo, where are you? How have you been lately?" Fang's voice on the other end of the line was as warm and comforting as ever, and Li Mo couldn't help but smile.

"Your godmother misses you. Could you come back for a bit later?"

The smile on his lips froze on the spot. "I've been quite busy lately."

Actually, I don't really want to go back, since every time we meet, it's never a pleasant experience. Some things you can't have, so you just have to accept it.

Is there anything more important than a godmother?

There was a pause on the other end, as if realizing her tone had been a bit harsh, she softened it and continued, "Xiao Mo, are you listening?"

"Yes, I'm here." Li Mo stared blankly at the ground. He had been happy to receive Fang's message, but now he couldn't quite manage a smile.

"To tell you the truth, your godmother said she's going to throw a dinner party for you. Do you know how happy she was when she saw you on TV? She's been bragging about it everywhere, saying she has a wonderful son. She's been preparing for this party for days, just waiting to surprise you tonight. If you don't come, your godmother will be very sad."

"Xiao Mo, I know that Godmother's actions can be hurtful at times. But she does that just to get your attention. Godmother's illness still hasn't gotten better, can you really bear not to come back and visit?"

Wang Lei, overcome with emotion, gently touched his aching chest. The scene of a loving mother and filial son, the deep affection between parent and child, even moved me to tears.

Will Li Mo, this filial son, come back without hesitation?

After such a heartfelt speech, even the most hard-hearted Li Mo will probably come back to take a look.

Indeed, blood ties are the hardest thing to sever in this world. Upon hearing that his mother was ill, Li Mo's outward composure was immediately shattered.

"How is my mother? Has her condition worsened? Has she been to the hospital? No, she can't go to the hospital now, there are too many patients there. You wait at home, I'll go back now."

Li Mo's face was pale as he staggered towards the station. Those were his family; no one cared about them more than he did. His previous talk of giving up, of cutting ties, was simply because he had been yearning for them in vain.

Liu Wen reached out and grabbed him, "I have a car, I'll take you home."

Li Mo turned and glanced at him. "Okay!"

Li Mo's condition was worrying, so Liu Wen grabbed him and started walking back, afraid he might suddenly disappear. Li Mo was now his ladder to success, and he couldn't afford any mistakes.

On the way back, Li Mo was completely absent-minded, muttering to himself.

"It'll be alright, you're just sick..."

"Li Mo, don't scare yourself. It'll be alright... everything will be alright..."

Liu Wen opened his mouth, thinking, "Surely this isn't serious; he's practically gone mad." But considering this was a matter of life and death for a family member, and that a mishap could easily turn into enmity, Liu Wen ultimately chose to remain silent.

The car is driving on the road.

Liu Wen skillfully overtook two cars on a curve; if the situation hadn't prevented it, he would have cheered himself on.

It only took 5 minutes and 32 seconds to travel from the south of the city to the north. This performance was top-notch, fantastic!

Liu Wen couldn't help but have his own thoughts, and several times he almost grinned from ear to ear with excitement.

Looking in the rearview mirror, I realized that people's joys and sorrows are indeed different.

Liu Wen pulled back the corners of his mouth that had been smirking as he ran away from home, trying his best to put on a blank expression.

You can't be too gloating, or you'll get beaten up.
