A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

Ji Chen was taken to the hospital, and Song Yuanyuan went with him.

"Xiaoqi, let's go home."

Xu Shuli waited outside for a long time but couldn't reach anyone by phone, so she had no choice but to come in and look for Xu Qiluo.

She could find out about the playground as soon as she entered by asking anyone. She was quite capable, even knowing to keep the playground a secret. After walking a few more steps, she saw Ji Chen lying on the ground and Song Yuanyuan crying.

She found it offensive, including to Luo Yunqi.

A person who has disappeared for so long should disappear completely, instead of returning after being gone without a trace and disrupting her normal life.

"elder sister…"

The once domineering, ruthless, and loyal dog suddenly became incredibly gentle when Xu Shuli called his name. Chen Li almost knelt down before him; this guy's mood changed way too quickly.

"Let's go home. We missed a lot of classes today."

Upon seeing Gu Baisheng and Lin Ran, Xu Shuli nodded slightly, "Brother Baisheng, Brother Lin Ran, come to my house for dinner tonight. Aunt Wang has prepared your favorite dishes. She always talks about you."

"Ok"

Gu Baisheng gave an OK sign, his eyes glancing casually behind him. "Yaoyao, can I bring a few more friends?"

Luo Yunqi's dim eyes suddenly lit up.

Lin Ran smiled and said, "Yes, Yao Yao, a friend of mine also wants to go, is that okay?"

Chen Li rushed in front of her, almost knocking her over in his excitement. Xu Qiluo, with sharp eyes, caught Xu Shuli and frowned unhappily, "Brother Chen, be careful."

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, is Yaoyao alright?"

Chen Li could feel the gaze of the knife-wielding man and quickly called out to save him.

Xu Shuli wasn't an idiot; their purpose was so clear that they practically revealed the person's full name.

"It's good that you're here. It's awkward for people who don't know each other to sit at the same table."

Unexpectedly, Xu Shuli refused, and refused decisively without any room for negotiation.

Luo Yunqi could even hear the sound of his heart tearing open. Lin Ran and Gu Baisheng paused for a second, then their expressions returned to bright smiles.

"Okay, then we'll go on time tonight. Tell Wang Ma to prepare more food. I won't eat dinner when I go."

"Okay, then we'll head back now."

Xu Shuli turned and left. The autumn wind carried a slight dampness, lifting the stray hairs on the girl's forehead. Her lips curled slightly, and her eyes were full of smiles, but her eyes remained indifferent.

"Xiaoqi, let's go home."

Xu Qiluo took her small handbag and carried it, while the tall man stood beside her, protecting his sister like a guardian angel.

Luo Yunqi sat dejectedly on the stone bench next to him, like a defeated general.

Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud, and in that laughter was also a mockery and disappointment at his sudden departure three years ago.

"Young Master Luo, you're back so quickly! You were gone for three years. What brings you back now? Just for a meal? Or to see your friends?"

“Aran…” Chen Li disagreed with him, slightly annoyed. “Why are you saying all this? It’s already good enough that he’s back.”

Gu Baisheng, standing beside him, simply stared intently at him. "Yunqi, I don't know what happened to you in these past three years. Your return was so sudden. Chen Li's simple statement, 'You're back,' shattered the peace that Aran and I had enjoyed for the past three years. You left the country without a word, only occasionally popping up in the group chat, and sometimes not even replying to a single message for a whole year..."

His voice suddenly turned solemn, "We can ignore all of this, but you've wronged Yao Yao..."

"We've been best buddies since childhood. I believe you might have your reasons, but none of those are reasons for leaving Yao Yao alone at your engagement ceremony, nor are they reasons for disappearing without a trace. So if you want us to help you win Yao Yao back, then I'm sorry... Besides being your best buddy, I'm also Yao Yao's good older brother."

“Bai Sheng…” Chen Li scratched his head. He felt the same way about Yao Yao. “Old Luo, Bai Sheng’s words make sense. Back then, you left without a word, leaving behind so much trouble and mess. Uncle Xu was even almost hospitalized because of you. Unless Yao Yao forgives you herself, none of us can forgive her.”

Luo Yunqi lowered his head, his eyes slightly red, his mind filled with her words about strangers and unfamiliar people, which seemed to prick his heart like needles.

Was she just as heartbroken back then?

"I..." Luo Yunqi clutched his chest, large tears falling like worthless drops onto his palms and the floor, burning hot and searing the eyes of the three of them.

According to age, Luo Yunqi is the youngest of the four, and also the most reckless and fearless big devil. When have you ever seen him shed a single tear like this?

Seeing their state, Gu Baisheng, the eldest among them, sighed helplessly, "Yunqi, if you truly have your reasons, then speak up. No matter how Yaoyao, Uncle Xu, or Xiaoqi treats you, you should accept it..."

"Because you need to know that back then, Yao Yao was in even more pain and suffering than you were."

Why do people have mouths? It's to express what they want to say.

“That’s right, Lao Luo, even if Xu the Demon King throws a durian at your head, you can’t dodge it.”

Chen Li added a sentence in a serious tone.

Gu Baisheng "..."

Lin Ran "..."

Luo Yunqi simply covered his eyes and didn't say another word.

That evening, while Ji Chen was still lying in the hospital, the Xu family's letter of annulment had already reached Ji's father, Xu Xiong, who was so angry that his heart was churning with rage.

"What a despicable bastard! Who does the Ji family think they are, daring to treat my daughter like this?"

"Retreat! Our Xu family isn't short of such a small thing!"

Within ten minutes, Xu Xiong's assistant rushed into the house, went to the study, and then hurriedly left with the annulment letter.

Ji's father looked at the letter of annulment on the table, and even outlined the reasons for the annulment in big red letters, as if afraid that no one would see it.

Ji Chen is dissolute by nature, inconsistent in his words and deeds, and vulgar in his speech. He is truly unworthy of Xu Shuli of the Xu family.

The post also included a photo of Ji Chen and Song Yuanyuan being affectionate.

"You damned bastard! Where is Ji Chen? What's wrong with this brat? He can't even hold onto the Xu family's coattails anymore? Is he trying to ruin the Ji family?"

Mr. Ji was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table. Not seeing anyone, he became even angrier. Mrs. Ji rushed downstairs, sobbing, not noticing Mr. Ji's expression. She was extremely worried. "Husband, we have to go to the hospital to see Chenchen. He's been beaten up and is in the hospital!"

"what's the situation?"

No matter what, he was still his only son. Upon hearing that he was hospitalized, Mr. Ji immediately forgot about the matter and he and Mrs. Ji changed their clothes and set off for the hospital.
