From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear; apart from love, there is neither worry nor fear.

——Mo Qingxian

Meng Yuannian and Mo Qingxian didn't go home until evening, because Mo Rou had always restricted Mo Qingxian from staying outside for two years.She can bear the occasional not returning, but if it happens frequently, she will not think about food and tea because of worry. For the sake of her mother, Mo Qingxian can only endure the reluctance to go back to the Lin family.And Meng Yuannian went back to his residence directly because it was inconvenient for Lin's family to deal with something.

The first thing he did when he returned to the room was to put the peach branches that Mo Qingxian gave him during the day into a long sandalwood box with great care. He wasted money.But he looked at the peach branches in the box with a gentle expression, and stroked the buds, scattered petals, and black branches with his fingers over and over again.

He didn't close the box until a voice sounded behind him, his expression slightly changed into a cold and serious one.

"Any news?"

"Young Master, something went wrong in Shanghai."

Meng Yuannian's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned to look at the visitor: "Pick up the important ones."

"Yes, master." The man stood up respectfully, and replied in a solemn tone: "A few days ago, the stepwife of the Cao family went to Shanghai, and we just learned that the wife of the chairman in Pudong is Mrs. Shao. My cousin, Mrs. Shao now has a young daughter who was sent to Shanghai to be raised by the president’s wife since she was a child. During this period of time, we moved too frequently in Beijing. On the second day after Mrs. Cao went to Shanghai, Pudong The case over there was suppressed by the president."

Meng Yuannian clenched his fist with his right hand, and said in a cold voice with an ugly face, "I underestimated Cao Pan. No wonder he is willing to marry a widow. I really underestimated him!"

"Master! We..."

"We are holding back in Beijing, and our manpower is not as strong as others. If it weren't for the big tree of the Lin family, we would not be able to make waves. Shanghai is our biggest reliance..." Meng Yuannian rubbed wearily Rubbing his forehead, his eyes were filled with a look of painful struggle as a storm brewed.

"Master, you are still young, we can take our time. You push yourself too hard."

"Young? Huh." Meng Yuannian sneered, with a mocking smile: "Youth is the most worthless, haven't you heard a saying? You think you are still young, it doesn't matter, you will be old in two years." He raised his head and muttered to himself with a long sigh of relief: "I can't wait that long, it's too long...I'm going to go crazy."

"Look at my face." He raised his head and looked at the man with desolate disgust in his eyes, "Look at my face, if I don't push myself tighter, maybe I will be killed in the next second Locked in those people's cages. Just like that time..." He sat on the sofa with his head supported in pain, his eyes revealed a chilling determination: "How could I, I still have time to wait, no Time...Uncle Pei."

When Mo Qingxian stepped into the house, he immediately saw Lu Mengruo sitting there talking and laughing with his mother. I don't know what they said, but the mother rarely smiled happily, no longer just a faint smile like before. between the lips.Before he could speak, he saw Lu Mengruo stood up and shouted at him: "Brother Qingxian!" Looking behind him with surprise on his face, Mo Qingxian knew who he was looking for, so he didn't say anything, just changed He took off his shoes and called softly: "Mother." Then he asked Lu Mengruo gently: "It's so late, is there anything else? I'll take you back first, Brother Ning will pick you up later."

"It's all right, I forgot the time when I was talking to Aunt Rou." Lu Mengruo eagerly replied that she wished she could go out with Mo Qingxian right away so that she could ask him about Meng Yuannian.In Mo Rou's eyes, she felt that Lu Mengruo was a little anxious because she saw Mo Qingxian. She smiled and looked at Lu Mengruo for a long time before turning her head and said to Mo Qingxian with a little reproach: "You are too, how could there be any one?" When you come back, you will rush to let people go home."
