Ye Qiaoxi was stunned for a moment, looked at her aunt, and asked in disbelief, "Aunt, who is that fat man? What has he done to you?"
Guan Ziyu didn't answer, but shook his head helplessly, looking a little confused and painful.
Ye Qiaoxi quickly got out and grabbed An Ran's wrist, "Cousin, what happened to my aunt? Why is she so afraid of that place?"
An Ran turned away and seemed a little embarrassed to speak. After repeated questioning by Ye Qiaoxi, she finally said, "Because I need to go outside to find a job during the day, so I can only leave my mother alone in the shelter, but I asked the people inside
The staff helped take care of her. But she still had other things to do... You know, her mental state was always unclear, and there were some homeless people or beggars there. There was a fat man among them, and he... took advantage of me
When I'm not here..."
Her voice was choked, her eyes were red, and she didn't say any more. Ye Qiaoxi let go of her hand with a complicated expression. No matter what happened to her aunt before, after all, she was the relative who raised her since she was a child. When she heard that something like this happened to her, she felt sad in her heart.
It was like being cut by a knife. She knelt down again and looked at her aunt, and stretched out her hand, "Aunt, can you come out?"
Guan Ziyu shook his head, "No, you drive me away..."
Ye Qiaoxi took a deep breath and smiled at her, "Don't worry, I won't drive you away."
Lan Xichen, who was standing at the door, frowned, but said nothing more and led Arthur downstairs.
An Ran glanced at the two father and son, then looked back at Ye Qiaoxi, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
Guan Ziyu stared at Ye Qiaoxi closely, and finally slowly stretched out her hand to hold her, letting her lead him out. When she saw her daughter, she lowered her head and hid behind Ye Qiaoxi.
"Mom, how can you make things difficult for Xixi?" An Ran shook his head and sighed, looking at Ye Qiaoxi apologetically, "Xixi, I didn't expect it to be like this. I'd better take my mother away right away, otherwise Lan will be unhappy.
of."
Ye Qiaoxi waved her hand, "How can I let my aunt leave with peace of mind when she is like this? Let's wait until she stabilizes."
"Isn't this bad..."
"It's okay," Ye Qiaoxi helped Guan Ziyu lie down on the bed and comforted her softly, "Aunt, you can sleep for a while first. Don't worry, just stay here."
"Xixi, okay," Guan Ziyu only expressed her emotions in the most direct and simple way. In her unabashed smile, Ye Qiaoxi saw the long-lost sincerity. Once, her aunt was also a gentle and kind woman.
.
After leaving An Ran in the house to take care of Guan Ziyu, Ye Qiaoxi walked downstairs a little tiredly. The father and son both chose to ignore her in a tacit understanding.
"Okay, I know I was wrong." Ye Qiaoxi walked over and hugged her with one hand, and said helplessly, "You have also seen my aunt's condition. I can't force her to leave at this time. This is not the same as rushing.
What difference does it make if she leaves? After all, she is the one who raised me, and I really can’t get over myself."
Lan Xichen narrowed his eyes and turned to look at her, "What if she refuses to leave? What are your plans? Let them stay here?"
Ye Qiaoxi pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, "After my aunt has stabilized for two days, I think it is best to find a hospital with complete medical facilities and send her for treatment. This is the most effective thing for her."
Arthur said calmly, "My aunt has a daughter. Why would mommy take her daughter's work away from her?"
Ye Qiaoxi patted her son's head unceremoniously and corrected, "Damn it, auntie's situation is not very good. Of course we have to help them."
Arthur curled his lips indifferently, "Mommy, sympathy depends on the target."
"Oh, why are you such a cold-blooded brat? Have you forgotten what I usually teach you?" Seeing that Ye Qiaoxi was about to abuse violence again, Lan Xichen immediately protected her son behind her and gave her a dissatisfied look, "Even
A six-year-old child understands the truth, but you can’t see it?”
Ye Qiaoxi couldn't help but rolled his eyelids, "Oh my God, CEO Lan Da, this six-year-old child you mentioned has an IQ of close to 180. Is he a normal person?"
Lan Xichen stroked Arthur's head and shrugged, "My son's words are nothing unusual. However, my patience is limited. I will not allow someone who once wanted to harm you to stay in this house.
"
"Xichen, my cousin has already paid the price for the mistakes she made." Ye Qiaoxi sighed and said with emotion, "Six years in prison is enough punishment."
"If you hadn't begged for mercy, I would have kept her from getting out for the rest of her life." At this moment, Lan Xichen looked ruthless and even cruel.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Ye Qiaoxi quickly changed the subject, "Didn't you say you would take us to have breakfast? I'm already hungry, let's go quickly."
Lan Xichen bent down to pick up Arthur, and put his arm around Ye Qiaoxi, "I made an appointment with Xuan, and I heard that there is also a mysterious friend of his."
"Huh? Male or female?"
“…will he date men?”
"Wow, you changed your girlfriend again? I want to take a look."
"Mommy, you're like this-"
"Want me to show Wenwen your nude photos?"
"..."
Upstairs, An Ran watched all this coldly.
What a happy and enviable family of three. The husband is handsome and rich, the wife is sexy and charming, and the son is smart and cute. It is difficult not to be the center of attention wherever he goes. This is Ye Qiaoxi's life now, with everything that every woman dreams of.
everything of.
But what about her?
A woman had just been released from prison. Her father committed suicide out of fear of crime, and she owed a huge amount of debt. Now she has a mentally ill mother. She was originally aloof and like a little princess, but instead she became a poor person who needed to live in a shelter.
.Haha, how ridiculous, her life was completely ruined by Lan Xichen and Ye Qiaoxi!
How can she repay them?
After breakfast, Lan Xichen left Arthur directly to Ye Qixuan, and he took Ye Qiaoxi straight to the largest jewelry store in the city center.
"Mr. Lan, you're here." When the manager saw him, he immediately enthusiastically welcomed the two of them into the VIP table.
"Well, are you ready with what I want?"
"Ready, please wait."
Ye Qiaoxi pulled him curiously, "Xichen, why did you bring me here?"
Lan Xichen put his arm around her shoulders, held her hand, and stroked her bare fingers, "I need something to tie her up here."
Ye Qiaoxi realized something and chuckled, "Hey, you want to give me a ring now, but I want a big one."
Lan Xichen raised the corners of his mouth but said nothing. At this time, the manager came over and, with a signal from his eyes, opened the beautifully packaged box in his hand. Inside was a dazzling emerald diamond ring. Ye Qiaoxi fell in love with it at first sight.
It said, "Wow, so beautiful!"
The manager introduced with a smile, "The emerald inlaid on this ring was the oldest emerald 'lucky' in the world that just appeared at the Colombian auction last month. Mr. Lan bought it at a sky-high price and commissioned us to customize this
A ring.”
"Xichen!" Ye Qiaoxi picked up the ring moved and touched the shining emerald, "Thank you, I really like it."
Lan Xichen took it, grabbed her hand again, put the ring on her ring finger, looked at it back and forth, then stretched out his palm to hold her hand, "In this way, you will never escape." Ye.
Qiao Xi shyly leaned on his shoulder, "I have experienced so much, but the person in my heart has never been shaken."
While the two were having a deep love affair, Lan Xichen's phone rang. When he saw it was Ye Qixuan, he picked up the phone and answered casually.
"Hey, Chen, we are in Black, you and Xixi come quickly."
Lan Xichen was startled and quickly asked, "Where is Arthur?"
"Of course the little guy is here too." Ye Qixuan helplessly looked at Arthur who was surrounded by beauties, "Your son is more popular than us."
"Shit, you actually took my son to a nightclub?!" Lan Xichen was so angry that he went crazy. After closing the line, he pulled Ye Qiaoxi away, cursing words such as "You are dead" and sat in
He quickly ran to black in the car.
The car sped along and stopped at Black's door. After throwing the key to the parking boy, he immediately walked in. The deafening music filled the dance floor. Lan Xichen simply didn't dare to see the wildly twisting bodies inside.
How could little Arthur, who was like an angel, endure such a chaotic dance of demons?
But when he saw the little man surrounded by everyone in the center of the dance floor, he felt a burst of blood above his head.
"Wow~Son!" Ye Qiaoxi clapped her hands excitedly, ignoring Lan Xichen, and pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
Arthur was popping with a girl with short hair, causing people around him to shout excitedly.
Ye Qiaoxi was so excited that she took off her coat and threw it to Lan Xichen. She immediately came to the other side of her son. She was startled when she saw the short-haired girl next to her. She was the girl he met in the mall last time! The other party obviously recognized her too.
, they seemed to have a deep impression on each other, they just smiled knowingly.
The addition of Ye Qiaoxi pushed the atmosphere to the climax. People crowded forward crazily, only squeezing Lan Xichen to the outside. Looking at the two women and son dancing happily inside, Lan Xichen seemed like a
Like a father who is worried that his children will learn bad things, he can't wait to rush out and take the two of them home quickly.
Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder, "Chen,"
Looking back and seeing the culprit Ye Qixuan, Lan Xichen's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You're just going to bring my son here?"
Ye Qixuan crossed his shoulders helplessly, "I can't stop that crazy woman." Then he raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Ye Qiaoxi inside, "Have you taken care of your woman?"
"..."
The two men were so gorgeously ignored.
****
After returning home, Ye Qiaoxi rushed into the bathroom first and threw Arthur to Lan Xichen. As soon as she entered, An Ran walked in and timidly said, "Well, you must be very tired, I'll help Arthur
It’s time to take a shower.”
Lan Xichen looked at her coldly, "No need."
Unexpectedly, Arthur smiled politely and said, "Daddy, I'd better ask Auntie to wash it for me." After saying that, he walked over and took An Ran's hand, "Auntie, let's go."
An Ran felt a little flattered and held his hand hesitantly, "Oh, okay, okay,"
"I'm going to wash in Auntie's room." Arthur raised his head, looked at An Ran's surprised face, and smiled, "Auntie and I should get closer."
An Ran always felt that something was wrong, but she never felt that a six-year-old child could pose any threat. She smiled and said, "Okay."
After walking into the room, An Ran quickly went to the bathroom to fill the water. Arthur's small body leaned against the door, his eyes flashed, and he slowly exited and closed the door with a "bang" and locked it with a "click".
"Arthur?!" An Ran woke up in surprise, rushed to the door and held it tightly, "Open the door! Arthur!"
"Auntie, the bathroom door seems to be broken~" Arthur raised his lips and said casually, "What should we do? Auntie can only tolerate it tonight, and no one will open the lock until tomorrow."
An Ran's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice, "Did you do this on purpose?"
"Haha," Arthur chuckled and plucked his hair with his little hands, "Auntie, I don't understand what you are saying. I'm just a kid. Oh, by the way, the sound insulation effect here is very good. Auntie, don't bother.
Go call mommy. It would be bad if you disturb my daddy. Haha, good night, aunt."
She heard Arthur's cheerful footsteps fading away. An Ran's chest heaved violently, her expression almost distorted, her clenched hands, and her nails dug into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain at all. A trace of light suddenly appeared on her face.
Cruel smile…
After Arthur came back again, Lan Xichen just glanced at him and closed his eyes without asking anything.
The next day, Ye Qiaoxi discovered that An Ran was locked in the bathroom. When she came out, she didn't mention a word about Arthur. She only said that she accidentally locked the door while taking a shower.
Lan Xichen gave Ye Qiaoxi an ultimatum. Within three days, the mother and daughter must disappear.
After overhearing the conversation between the two and seeing the sudden extra ring on Ye Qiaoxi's hand, An Ran knew very well that she didn't have much time to use it.
She helped Guan Ziyu back to the room and looked at her mother, whose face was getting more and more rosy. She sneered and took out a photo and put it in her hand, "Mom, do you still remember dad?"
Guan Ziyu's eyes fell on the photo, his eyes flashed, and his lips moved, "Guo, Guobang..."
"That's right, it's dad. He used to be the boss of An's Enterprise, and he was the object of everyone's fawning. Our family also lived an enviable and wealthy life. You are the rich wife, and I am the rich lady..."
Through An Ran's description, a smile slowly appeared on Guan Ziyu's face. The fragments of his previous life flashed before his eyes like a slowed-down movie reel.
"But, because of Ye Qiaoxi, my father's company went bankrupt, our house was gone, everything was gone. And my father... committed suicide." An Ran approached Guan Ziyu, staring at the ever-changing expression on her face,
He said cruelly, "It was Ye Qiaoxi who killed dad and caused us to lose our home!"
Guan Ziyu's eyes widened, with some sadness, fear, and hatred in his eyes, and he unconsciously murmured, "She...the murderer..."
An Ran smiled ferociously, "Yes, she is the murderer."
