The battle for the heir to the Xiao family, the top wealthy family in the imperial capital, has resulted in heavy casualties and countless bloodshed and sacrifices every time. Therefore, although the Xiao family is romantic at heart and has countless illegitimate children, the core heirs of the family have never been prosperous.

The clue that Xiao Yunting found was not only the heir that Mr. Xiao originally intended, but also the fact that in order to protect Xiao Wanshan, he turned a blind eye to the fact that his grandson Xiao Yunting suffered inhuman abuse for several years.

Realizing this, Ye Lan's face became a little colder, and he recalled the time Xiao Yunting spent briefly in the Xiao family when he was a boy. He had never received an education and was especially favored by the old man, and he also showed his admiration in his eyes. .

One can imagine how desolate it was that the moment Xiao Yunting learned the truth, the remaining family affection in Xiao Yunting's heart was cruelly taken away.

"This time, I will help you kill him too." She gently held the man's hand and made a promise in a serious tone.

Just like she solved Celia last time, she will also solve Xiao Wanshan for him this time.

The two of them talked about such a bloody topic as if there was no one around, but the atmosphere was so intimate that a group of people across from them shook their heads with emotion.

Sure enough, no matter how cold-blooded the boss is, he is still a terrible love brain.

Xiao Yunting did not refuse the girl's protection. Even though he had decided to take action himself, the way the girl was so focused on him made him feel very moved.

When she returned to the city, Tang Sinian called and asked her about the situation tactfully. She was relieved when she learned that everything was fine.

"As long as you're safe, this incident really caused you a lot of trouble. I'm sorry."

Only then did the two of them have time to chat.

Tang Sinian sincerely apologized.

"It's none of your business." Ye Lan didn't accept it, and said in a calm and cold tone: "This was originally meant for me."

If I had to say it, she was the one who caused trouble for Tang Sinian.

"What...does Miss Ye mean?" Tang Sinian asked late on the other end of the phone.

Ye Lan then briefly explained how she had wiped out an ancient castle hidden by an overseas organization in no-man's land some time ago. The other party was probably deliberately retaliating and wanted to regain their position, so they used the Shark Platform variety show to lure her into the game.

Tang Sinian couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. He couldn't imagine what kind of thrilling life the girl lived when she disappeared.

He suddenly realized that he didn't understand her at all.

Ye Lan also promised to make compensation for this incident, "I will hold another live broadcast tonight to explain the situation."

The old western-style building and the dead guest on the show will be dealt with by the authorities.

The platform’s losses will be made up by her.

Tang Sinian wanted to say no, but there was a lot of discussion on the Internet that someone really needed to come out to calm things down.

And Ye Lan is the most suitable candidate.

"Then I will arrange an account for you." Tang Sinian continued.

He thought that a mysterious person like Ye Lan should not play online, but Ye Lan refused and said: "No, I have it myself."

Tang Sinian: "..."

This trip was to the Xiao family.

They will leave for Texas tomorrow and come back to see if there are any clues left.

Xiao Yunting flew abroad all the year round and rarely came back since he took over the position of head of the family. The servants and housekeepers at home were cautious and respectful when greeting him at the door.

"Master, you are back." The butler stepped forward and opened the car door, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a slender silhouette inside, and couldn't help but be stunned.

It wasn't until Xiao Yunting stepped out of the car and went around to the other side to pick up someone that he could see the girl's appearance clearly.

"It turns out to be the eldest lady." The butler's face relaxed, and he stepped forward and complimented: "I didn't expect the eldest lady to come here. This is the first time we have met. I am an old man from the Xiao family. You can call me Lao Chen."

Old Chen was a familiar face, and Ye Lan recognized him as the butler who served the old man in his memory after a quick look.

"Uncle Chen." She greeted lightly, without explaining that she was no longer a member of the Xiao family's household registration.

Lao Chen was enthusiastic. After welcoming them all the way into the house, he set up a table of food. However, before they could sit down, they heard footsteps on the stairs.

"Uncle Chen, is Yunting back? Why didn't you call me?"

An elegant female voice came over.

Ye Lan looked up and saw a beautiful woman with wavy permed hair and a top-notch luxury matte dress walking down.

The other party was well-maintained and looked to be in his early thirties. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Xiao Yunting's, and he was holding a young girl beside him.

"Miss Qi, are you awake? I was just afraid of disturbing you. After all, I just flew back to China and I'm still jet-lagged. I've also prepared a light meal for you for dinner." Old Chen looked up with a loving face. At the same time, he extended his hand to guide the woman to sit down at the dining table.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, "Uncle Chen is still considerate. No wonder dad always praised you when he was alive."

Accompanied by the sound of voices, she had arrived at the restaurant and met Xiao Yunting head-on. For the first time, she touched the other person's cold and powerful aura. She was startled and did not dare to look at him. After reacting, she found it funny. .

"Yun Ting, why don't you call me sister-in-law first when we meet? Although you are the head of the family, I am also the elder after all. Or, you have forgotten what I look like. It's no wonder. After all, you just returned to my old house. He went abroad, and we only met once in front of your father's soul."

She forced herself to stay calm and acted like an elder, trying to overpower the young head of the Xiao family.

Unfortunately, all I got was cold indifference.

"Uncle Chen." Xiao Yunting looked past her and looked directly at Old Chen, with no emotion or warmth in his eyes, "Did you let him in?"

Old Chen was froze by this sight, and the strong sense of oppression made him lower his head almost instantly, "Sir, Miss Seven has not returned to China for many years, and she has always lived here. I thought, thought..."

He thought Xiao Yunting would welcome him very much.

After all, this is one of the few close relatives of the main line of the Xiao family.

Seeing this, the woman's face darkened on the spot. She stretched out her hand and pointed the finger at Ye Lan, "You can claim your goddaughter and let someone with no blood relationship enter the Xiao family. Why should I, a legitimate person like you?" Can't the Xiao family live here? Yun Ting, don't forget that I am also one of the shareholders of the Xiao Group."

The last sentence was already a clear threat.

From top to bottom, everyone in the Xiao family, regardless of age or sex, is not a good person, and the seventh young lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Yu, who has returned from studying abroad for many years, is no exception.

She has a neat and capable appearance, speaks loudly, and is full of confidence. She has a bit of the old man's demeanor when he was young.

The atmosphere in the dining room suddenly became tense.

Ye Lan stood speechless. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the young girl opposite him, whom he had never met before, staring straight at Xiao Yunting, and showing a provocative look at her from time to time.

She understood what was going on after a moment's thought, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, a little playful.

Xiao Yunting was silent for a while, and then sat down with a cold face as if he was being restrained.

Xiao Yu raised the corner of her mouth, sat opposite him, and called to the young girl: "Xiao Ran, sit next to me. Don't be restrained, just treat this place as your home."

This was said quite rudely, especially in front of the head of the Xiao family.

But Xiao Yunting remained expressionless and didn't say a word. He just served Ye Lan beside him with soup and vegetables.

Xiao Yu looked at the eyesore, and her eyes fell on Ye Lan again. After looking at her, she said in a sour tone: "Miss Ye is indeed beautiful."
