Xia Yizhou

Because no one came out to say hello in advance, and Gao Jianlin was not a member of Emgrand International, he was stopped by the door guard just like his sister. After some communication, it was Benson who finally came to welcome the two of them in.

After entering, Benson led them directly to the coffee shop, where Barnes was already waiting inside.

The first picture Mother Xia saw of Steve Barnes was him standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, his blond hair shining brightly in the sun, and the well-tailored shirt and trousers set him off even more He is tall and straight, with a gentle and harmless smile on his face. With such an appearance, Xia's mother really has no way to connect him with the image of a demon.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Steve Barnes. Nice to meet you." Barnes stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and Mother Xia shook it out of politeness.

"What do you want to drink?" After the three of them were seated, Barnes waved his hand, and the waiter brought the menu.

Mother Xia is not in the mood to drink some coffee now, she is now full of her son, returned the menu and said to the waiter: "Thank you, no need."

The waiter took one look at Barnes, who nodded at her, and the waiter left.

"Mr. Barnes, I have been unable to get through to my son. Jian Lin told me that he is with you, so I wanted to come and have a look."

Barnes glanced at Gao Jianlin, who was looking at him vigilantly: "Yes, Jeff is indeed with me, but he is asleep now. He has been suffering from insomnia recently, and he finally fell asleep. I don't think I will disturb you." He's fine."

"Is he really asleep, or are you trying to hide something else?" Gao Jianlin asked.

"I have nothing to hide. He really fell asleep because he was too sleepy."

"Mr. Barnes, I saw the news on the Internet today, and I also know a little about the past grievances between you and my son. Based on this, I am very worried about my son's safety. I must see him with my own eyes, otherwise I will I won't feel at ease."

Barnes turned his gaze, Xia Mu's face was stubborn and determined, Xia Yizhou inherited most of his mother's appearance, but Xia Mu's facial lines were much softer.

"In that case, come with me."

Xia's mother, Gao Jianlin followed Barnes into the presidential suit, and after entering the bedroom, Xia's mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xia Yizhou lying safely on the bed.

I walked a few steps closer, called Xia Yizhou a few times, and found that he didn't respond, and it was a little strange. Although he didn't live by my side these years, my son had never slept so soundly since he was a child, and he was too familiar. They slapped his face with their hands, without even giving any reaction.

"Why can't he wake up?" Mother Xia turned her head to look at Gao Jianlin, stretched out her hand and patted it twice, but there was still no response.

Gao Jianlin saw that he was not sleeping naturally, either passed out or was drugged, so he straightened up and looked at Barnes who was standing at the door.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I just sedated him."

"Why use a sedative?" Gao Jianlin asked.

"Well, you also know that Jeff has a little sleep disorder. I think he hasn't been able to sleep well recently, and the bags under his eyes are so big. I really can't bear it, so I gave him some, and the dose is very small."

"Why does he have sleep problems, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"

Instead of arguing with him, Barnes turned to Mother Xia and said, "Auntie, let's go out and talk, don't quarrel with him."

After several people left the bedroom, Xia's mother said: "I want to take Xiaozhou back. It's not very convenient for him to be here. I can take care of him when I go back."

"Auntie, do you have this time?" Barnes twitched the corners of his mouth and asked indifferently.

Mother Xia was taken aback by the question, but didn't immediately understand what Barnes meant.

"You and uncle are so busy with scientific research projects, why do you still have extra time to take care of Jeff." Seeing that Xia's mother was about to speak again, Barnes shook his finger to stop her words and continued: "Your research team is about to talk again." I'm going to start another project, but it seems that the funds are not enough. An important instrument is late, right? You see that you and your uncle are so busy, obviously it is impossible to have extra energy to take care of Jeff, unlike I, I'm just a idler, and I have a lot of time to take care of him."

"I don't have time, but Jianlin does. They grew up together. His father and I are very relieved that he will take care of Xiaozhou."

Barnes smiled and said, "Auntie, do you think I'm the kind of person who would give the person I like to my rival?"

Xia's mother was poor at words, and she looked at Gao Jianlin for help. She wanted to take Xia Yizhou back, because she was really worried about letting him here. This person knew that she was going to join a new project, and she really felt too insecure. , it seems that there is no privacy at all.

Gao Jianlin said: "You have a fierce quarrel with his news website. If people know that he has been with you all the time, it will not do him any good."

Barnes laughed like a fool and said, "You think those photos and comments on the Internet can be posted without my permission? Don't you really think that the netizens in your country are really so powerful? Those photos are amazing. They are all my private collections. Before the photos were released today, no one except me had a second copy, and the media in your country are very knowledgeable, knowing what can and cannot be blown up, and even if there is something that shouldn’t be blown up If something broke out, I also have a way to delete it in the first place, so you don't have to worry about the news that he is on my side will have a bad influence on him."

"Do I have to take the boat with me?" Mother Xia felt uncomfortable seeing Barnes's haughty look, as if everyone wanted to listen to him.

"Auntie, I don't want to leave a bad impression on you, but don't force me. I don't like people who disagree with me. Maybe you can see it. I said that if Jeff wants to stay, he must Stay!" The smile on the corner of Barnes's mouth disappeared, and the expression on his face made Xia Mu's skin crawl, and she was only now convinced that this person was not a good person.

Xia's mother's hair stood on end, but Gao Jianlin was not afraid of him, and wanted to say something, but Xia's mother stopped him and said, "Can you guarantee the safety of Xiaozhou?"

"I can."

Xia's mother was not reconciled but also helpless. He is Xiaozhou's manager now, so he can't make it too ugly on the surface, so he asked Barnes to promise that Xia Yizhou would call herself immediately after waking up and leave with Gao Jianlin .

After watching their car drive away, Barnes said to Benson: "To solve the equipment problem in Auntie's laboratory, I offended her a little today, and it was a surprise for them."

"Okay, boss, Miss Anna wants to talk to you."

"understood."

Back in his studio, after connecting with Anna, Barnes started working while listening to his sister tell him about the situation in country A. After finishing the serious business, Anna raised her eyebrows and asked, "Brother, I heard You are making a lot of noise in the capital, where is Jeff? Have you caught up again?"

"It's so easy for him to come back, do I still need to work so hard?"

"I heard that this year's VOICE Awards Ceremony is going to be hosted in the capital city. Your generosity is too big!"

"Isn't it boring to do it in the same place every year? And you also know that we just merged with Mance, so we need to make a big move."

"This move is too big. There are so many people chartering planes to the capital. Even if it is the one with the largest capacity, it will take more than a dozen planes. Brother, it will cost a lot of money."

"Do you think I care about the money?"

Anna held her chin and smiled, watching her brother keep messing around, and asked, "What is this? It looks like a flying feather! Silver? Are you going to give it to Jeff?"

Barnes took off his goggles and took a look, then nodded and said, "These days, I keep an eye on our good uncle. He wants to be a demon again as soon as I leave."

"The old guy is old-hearted, and wants to do something again." Anna said with a cold smile, "I will pay attention to his movements. If there is a problem, do you need to deal with it?"

"No, there's no rush now, it's still useful for me to keep him."

"Then I wish my brother to chase Jeff back as soon as possible. I will go to see him when the VOICE awards are presented, and I will bring Cindy to him by the way."

"Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the video connection, Barnes continued to make the flying feather necklace.
