After Mu Ran finished eating two plates of fruit, Xie Zeyao opened the door.

Unlike before, the corners of Xie Zeyao's lips were pressed down, and a low breath lingered all over his body.

The moment he changed his shoes and walked towards Mu Ran, his expression changed instantly, as if nothing had happened.

Mu Ran was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself, as expected of a man who makes money in the entertainment industry, his face changes really fast.

Aunt Zhang also noticed that Xie Zeyao was in a bad mood, and left after preparing meals for the two of them.

Xie Zeyao had two mouthfuls of rice, but he had no appetite. After Mu Ran put down his chopsticks, he asked, "Have you been in touch with Auntie recently?"

Mu Ran blinked: "No, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Xie Zeyao said casually, "Have you not seen each other for a long time?"

"It seems like half a year."

Mu Ran glanced at the phone calendar, and was stunned when he saw the date.

The day after tomorrow is Christmas.

Auntie should be on vacation.

Mu Ran clicked on WeChat: [Auntie, are you going back to China for Christmas? 】

In the next second, it was convenient to reply to the WeChat message.

Q: [Already in China. 】

Mu Ran: [!Why didn't you tell me? ! 】

Q: [I have something to deal with, I will find you after I finish it. 】

Mu Ran: [Okay. 】

Mu Ran put down the phone and said to Xie Zeyao, "My aunt is already in China."

"Tell us to come back to us when you're done."

Xie Zeyao nodded, and asked casually: "Mom has a younger sister like aunt, where's dad?"

"Have any siblings?"

Mu Ran was stunned for a while, not understanding why he brought up this matter suddenly, but Dan still told the truth: "There is a brother."

"But it's not a good thing, so there is no contact."

Xie Zeyao pursed his lips, becoming more and more sure of the speculation in his heart.

Mu Ran sighed lightly: "Brothers in the world are as black."

"You said yes, bro?"

Xie Zeyao: "..."

After a moment of silence, he asked again: "Has the relationship between Dad and uncle always been bad?"

Mu Ran hadn't heard the title of uncle for a long time.

He was dazed, and slowly said: "Uncle is grandma's own son, and my dad was picked up by grandma."

"We didn't have a good relationship since we were young. Later, when we started a company, my uncle came to ask for money all day..." Mu Ran paused, his eyes wandering, "Later, grandma passed away, so I cut off contact with my uncle's family."

Seeing that he was lying, Xie Zeyao responded and continued: "It seems that our father is a very decisive person."

Mu Ran looked vigilant: "I have no Electra plot."

Xie Zeyao: "..."

"I don't want to learn from Dad."

Mu Ran didn't believe it: "Then why did you mention uncle for no reason?"

Xie Zeyao: "...I feel that he is not a good person."

Mu Ran stared at him for a while, and said with emotion: "You really treat yourself and others."

Xie Zeyao: "..."

*****

The next day's physical therapy was in the afternoon. Mu Ran woke up in a daze in the morning and put some water on it. Xie Zeyao washed his face and brushed his teeth, and packed it up to take him to the company.

After arriving at Yaoxing, Mu Ran fell asleep.

Xie Zeyao closed the door of the lounge and called the male secretary: "Xiao Fang."

The male secretary shuddered: "Here!"

Xie Zeyao: "Check out Xiang Gang, brother of Xiang Mu, former president of Mu Mu Company."

The male secretary was stunned for a while. Mu Mu was originally a real estate company, but seven or eight years ago, the company shifted its focus abroad and successfully transformed into a technology company.

Why did you suddenly want to investigate the ex-president's brother?

Xie Zeyao raised his eyelids, looked at the stunned male secretary, and frowned slightly.

The male secretary came back to his senses and quickly responded, "I'll go right away."

Xie Zeyao picked up the document casually, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "By the way, does the company have a manager named Fan Pai?"

The male secretary nodded after hearing about Fan Pai's gossip.

Xie Zeyao glanced at his expression: "His information and deeds are sorted out for me."

Male secretary: "Yes."

The male secretary hurried back to his work station, tugged on Secretary Yang's sleeve, and whispered, "Sister Yang! Mr. Xie asked me to investigate two people just now."

Secretary Yang pushed his glasses: "Really, who to check?"

The male secretary told the truth: "The brother of the former president of Mu Mu Company, and the manager named Fan Pai."

He swallowed, lowered his voice and asked, "Why did Mr. Xie suddenly ask me to do such a thing?"

Secretary Yang smiled: "Of course I want to reuse you."

The male secretary was taken aback, and said with a bitter face, "Yang, Sister Yang, I'm afraid."

"A companion is like a tiger!"

"Okay, let's get to work."

After finishing speaking, Secretary Yang immediately turned his head and snickered, almost losing the expression on his face just now.

After sorting out her emotions, she straightened her sitting posture and saw a secretary get up.

"Xiao Fan, where are you going?"

"bathroom."

"Didn't you just go there, why are you going again?"

"Er... my stomach is not feeling well."

…………

Mu Ran woke up and it was time for physical therapy.

After arriving at the hospital, he walked into the physiotherapy room familiarly, lay down on the chair, and looked at Thompson as he took out two jars of scented candles.

"Mr. Mu, which flavor do you prefer?"

Mu Ran leaned over and smelled it, one smelled slightly sweet fruit, and the other had a faint floral scent, like a shower gel used at home.

"That." Mu Ran pointed to the floral fragrance.

Thompson nodded, lit the aromatherapy, and played soft music with a slow melody.

Mu Ran lay down for a while with her eyes closed, not feeling sleepy at all.

After all, he just woke up two hours ago, so he can't sleep at all now.

Thompson didn't chat with him either, looking down at his book.

Mu Ran was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Can I play games?"

"Of course," Thompson asked with a smile, "I'm also playing games recently. What kind of games do you like to play?"

"Stand-alone or the kind of multiplayer online?"

While turning the arrow keys, Mu Ran said, "Play all of them, I like to play for fun."

"I still prefer to play stand-alone games," Thompson said casually after taking a sip of tea, "I'm too old to keep up with my teammates."

Mu Ran groaned and focused on the game.

Seeing this, Thompson continued to ask: "I heard that you also like to read novels. Do you have a favorite type of novel?"

Mu Ran said slowly, "There's nothing I particularly like."

"I will first look for those spoilers and explanations, and watch it if you are interested."

"I see."

Thompson smiled, chatted briefly, got up and left the physical therapy room.

Xie Zeyao was outside the physiotherapy room. Seeing Thompson come out, he was a little surprised: "Is it over so early today?"

Thompson shook his head and said slowly, "I'm here to find you."

Xie Zeyao followed him into the office.

Thompson asked straight to the point: "Mr. Xie, do you know that patients like to be spoiled?"

Xie Zeyao nodded: "I know."

Thompson asked lightly: "So do you know the reason?"

Xie Zeyao was quiet for a moment, and replied: "The control of the plot and the plot."

Thompson stared at him for a while, then chuckled and said, "This is the reason for some people. They like certain results."

"There are still some people who are unconsciously looking for things they are familiar with, and want to find new changes from certainty."

Xie Zeyao pursed his lips.

Thompson continued: "Mr. Xie, as far as I can see, your understanding of the patient is too superficial."

"Now may be an opportunity to get to know each other better."

After speaking, Thompson left.

Xie Zeyao sat on the chair, pondered for a long time, clicked on "Brother Leng Qing Loves Hardly", and continued to watch.

The content of this novel is very simple. The protagonist Shou has been abducted for many years, and only then did he find his biological parents. His parents love to travel and are away from home all year round. The protagonist Shou spends day and night with his elder brother who is very controlling.

Xie Zeyao only saw a third of it last time, and just saw that his elder brother had evil thoughts towards the protagonist, but his younger brother didn't know it.

familiar things...

With calm eyes, Xie Zeyao switched back to the catalog of the novel, and saw the youth episode by the protagonist.

He read ten lines at a glance and quickly.

The protagonist Shou had a miserable childhood, irritable adoptive father, weak and incompetent adoptive mother, greedy and lustful uncle, bullying and fearful aunt, and uncle's son who coveted the protagonist Shou...

Seeing the uncle's family, Xie Zeyao clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white.

"Professor! I'm here—" Bing Yang's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Xie Zeyao turned around and looked at him coldly.

Bingyang instinctively took a step back and slammed the door shut.

A moment later, the door was gently pushed open again.

Bingyang stuck to the crack of the door, rolled his eyes, and came in quickly after making sure that Muran was not there.

"Brother, is Mu Ran in physical therapy?"

Xie Zeyao hummed: "What's the matter?"

Bing Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and explained, "I'm looking for the professor."

"Didn't you let me see Muran less? I lied to him that I had a closed meeting abroad, and I almost thought I was going to be exposed just now..."

Xie Zeyao interrupted: "Do you know Ranran's uncle's family?"

"Uncle?"

Bingyang thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, I only heard about my aunt from Muran."

"Does Muran still have an uncle?"

Xie Zeyao was silent for a moment, and told him what his aunt said, Thompson's analysis, and the situation of the uncle's family in the novel.

Bingyang couldn't help but say a damn thing: "Then Muran's uncle's family must have problems too! Otherwise, why would he never mention it."

He rubbed his chin and began to analyze: "Mu Ran must have suffered a lot in the uncle's house before."

"Brother, think about it, the most important things for Muran are to eat, sleep and play games. His appetite is a bit big. I can't eat as much as he eats even if I'm hungry for two days."

"Could it be that I didn't eat or sleep at my uncle's house before, so now I can sleep for more than ten hours a day..."

While talking, Bing Yang slapped his thigh: "By the way, Mu Ran said that he only started playing games in high school."

He said categorically: "It must be because of the hardships and hardships in the uncle's house, plus the pain of losing my parents."

"Only games can comfort his fragile young heart."

Hearing this, Xie Zeyao's face was gloomy, his brows and eyes were cold.

2,

Friday

Mu Ran was brought to the company again by Xie Zeyao.

Halfway through the game, Xie Zeyao suddenly asked, "Is there a live event tonight?"

Mu Ran was puzzled: "What live broadcast?"

Xie Zeyao frowned: "Didn't Xi Tong tell you?"

As soon as the words fell, Mu Ran received Xi Tong's WeChat.

Xi Tong: [Friday night at [-]:[-], Happy Life has a live interview!Lu Liancha wants you to be a guest! 】

Xi Tong: 【Damn it, I just saw that yesterday's sending failed. 】

Xi Tong: 【You don't have plans for the evening, do you?I'll pick you up then. 】

Xie Zeyao glanced at the screen and said to Mu Ran: "I will take you there."

Mu Ran snorted, and replied to Xi Tong's message: 【Xie Zeyao said he would send me off. 】

Xi Tong: [Then I will wait for you at Bihuo, the live broadcast will last for about two hours. 】

Xi Tong: [This is the process script, take a look. 】

Xi Tong: [File.pdf]

Mu Ran received the documents, saw the male secretary walk in, got up and went to the lounge.

After the door was closed, the male secretary handed Xie Zeyao a document: "Mr. Xie, this is the information from the Fan faction."

Xie Zeyao put the document aside and asked, "Where is the other person?"

The male secretary replied: "Xiang Gang owed millions of debts because of gambling ten years ago. Maybe he changed his name and moved because he couldn't pay it off. It's unclear where he is now."

Xie Zeyao frowned: "Is he addicted to gambling?"

The male secretary continued: "Xiang Gang's former neighbors said that he was also an alcoholic and domestic violence..."

Xie Zeyao frowned even tighter.

The male secretary's heart was pounding nervously, the Emperor of the Night wouldn't take it out on him, would he?

He hurriedly said, "I'll check his whereabouts right away!"

Xie Zeyao has calm eyes, addicted to gambling, alcoholism, domestic violence...

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Ran finished a game, walked out of the lounge, and met Xie Zeyao, whose air pressure was lower than the previous two days.

He was stunned, and instinctively walked to Xie Zeyao's side: "Did something happen?"

Xie Zeyao raised his hand and hugged him into his arms: "Let me hug you."

Mu Ran snuggled into his arms, wrapped his arms around his waist, and asked softly, "Is Yaoxing bankrupt?"

"……No."

Xie Zeyao lowered his head and sighed softly, "I just want to hug you."

Mu Ran pondered for a moment, and said to him, "Today is the last day of diarrhea."

"..."

Xie Zeyao said helplessly, "No."

The company is fine and doesn't want to doi...

Mu Ran reached out and touched his forehead: "Brother, are you sick?"

Xie Zeyao: "..."

After a while, he pursed his lips and said, "I just feel sorry for you all of a sudden."

Mu Ran was confused: "Why do you feel distressed?"

"Do you feel bad that I don't have to go to work? Do you feel bad that I sleep late? Or do you feel bad that I play games?"

Xie Zeyao: "I feel sorry for Xiao Muran."

Mu Ran looked down at the crotch of the pants: "Little Mu Ran is very happy these days."

Xie Zeyao was silent.

Mu Ran said slowly, "But Da Mu Ran is hungry."

"Well, let's go eat."

There was a live broadcast at [-] o'clock, so Xie Zeyao took Mu Ran directly to Hao Chi Xuan for dinner.

Halfway through the meal, the boss suddenly walked into the box and said softly to Xie Zeyao, "Mr. Xie, some people say they are Mr. Mu's classmates and want to come in for dinner."

Xie Zeyao glanced at Muran who was eating well, got up and walked out.

After walking out of the box, he asked, "What classmate?"

Boss: "It doesn't look like a liar when you say you are a high school classmate."

Xie Zeyao pursed his lips: "Arrange a table in the lobby."

The boss nodded: "OK."

Xie Zeyao returned to the box and said to Mu Ran, "I'll make a phone call."

Mu Ran puffed her cheeks and nodded to him.

Xie Zeyao closed the box door and walked quickly to the lobby.

Lobby

The waiter led a dozen men and women to empty tables.

"Squad leader is awesome, he actually knows the boss of Hao Chi Xuan."

"What's the matter, call me if you want to eat later."

"Fuck, these dishes are too expensive, aren't they?"

"Huh? I think it's okay."

Cui Gang glanced at the menu, and there was not a single dish whose price was below three digits.

"Oh, the squad leader already knows the boss, so he must be able to get a discount, isn't the squad leader?"

Cui Gang smiled: "Of course, you can order whatever you want."

He flipped through the menu, wondering which sentence he just said made the waiter usher them in.

Add money?

Is it an employee of Yaoxing?

…………

Cold dishes and fruits were served first, and everyone chatted about gossip while eating.

"Have you seen the trending searches in the past two days? I found out that that kid Mu Ran has become a superstar."

"I saw it! I didn't expect him to be thin and small in high school, but he looks pretty good now."

"He's a big star, no wonder he doesn't join the class reunion."

Hearing Mu Ran's name, Cui Gang sneered: "Mu Ran really knows how to show off, just like in high school, he doesn't participate in group activities."

"And his face is too different from before, probably due to plastic surgery."

A woman with curly hair asked with a smile: "That's right, monitor, you work in Yaoxing, so you must know a lot of gossip about the entertainment industry."

"I haven't seen any works by Mu Ran, why did it suddenly become popular?"

Cui Gang took a sip of his wine: "I only know that Muran is in the company of Bihuo, and Happy Life 2 is sponsored by their company."

"It's not that Bihuo doesn't have first-line artists, but Mu Ran went to that variety show..."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions became ambiguous, and several men began to make strange noises.

Cui Gang was drunk, thinking that he had sent so many messages to Mu Ran, but Mu Ran refused to come, the more he thought about it, the more angry he continued, "I heard that the president of Bihuo likes the type of man like Mu Ran. "

"Think about it, Muran couldn't even afford to eat in the cafeteria when she first entered high school, and after a month, she suddenly wore big names."

"Damn it, maybe he was taken over by someone when he was in high school?"

"Laughing to death, then his benefactor is really not picky."

"Don't laugh, maybe he will live well."

Cui Gang put down his wine glass: "Mu Ran's uncle is a well-known gambler in our area, he knows a lot of dubious people, his eldest aunt likes to seduce men, and his cousin is even a little hooligan. None of them are good—"

Before he finished speaking, Cui Gang was poured all over his face, and the soup dripped down.

He looked at his hands in shock, and slammed the table: "Who the hell is that!"

Xie Zeyao looked at him coldly: "What's his name?"

Cui Gang's anger disappeared instantly after seeing Xie Zeyao's face clearly.

His eyes darkened, why is Mr. Xie here?

What did he do wrong!

"Cui, Cui Gang."

"From tomorrow onwards, you don't have to go to the company."

Xie Zeyao tilted his head and said to the waiter beside him, "Call the security guards and drive them out."

There was a lot of movement about driving people away. The boss came forward and apologized to the other tables in the lobby: "I'm sorry, everyone's consumption is free today."

When Xie Zeyao walked back to the box, Mu Ran had already finished eating and was standing in the corridor waiting for him.

"Why are you standing outside?"

Mu Ran stared at him, frowning slightly: "Brother, are you really alright?"

Xie Zeyao lowered his eyes: "It's okay."

Mu Ran: "If the company goes bankrupt, we can start all over again."

"The company is fine."

Xie Zeyao paused, and half-truthfully said: "There is a difficult contract, and I am looking for someone."

Mu Ran let out an oh, and was about to speak when Xie Zeyao spoke first: "Are you full?"

Mu Ran nodded.

Xie Zeyao: "It's almost time, let's go to the fire first."

The live interview was held in a dedicated studio, and many viewers were invited to the scene.

Mu Ran separated from Xie Zeyao after entering Bihuo, and didn't see Xie Zeyao and Wang Huo mixed in the back row of the audience until he entered the studio.

"Now we have our good friend Mu Ran who invites us to Liancha!"

Mu Ran walked to the center and sat on the empty seat next to Lu Liancha.

"Hi everyone, I'm Muran."

[Ah, ah, my wife, you are finally here! 】

[Fuck!I never expected that Lu Liancha's mysterious friend is Mu Ran! 】

[If it's not Muran, can it still be those former members? 】

[Is this beauty a little too strong? 】

[You can tell by looking at Lu Liancha's face, it's not beautiful. 】

…………

There was a dense pile of bullet screens, Mu Ran took a look twice, his eyes were a little sour, so he turned his eyes away and looked at Lu Liancha.

Lu Liancha winked at him, hooked Muran's neck, and leaned in front of the camera: "Everyone remember to support our TV series "Love in Troubled Times"!"

"There is no news yet about when the broadcast will start."

The host smiled and asked Lu Liancha: "Liancha, why did you invite Muran to be the guest of this live broadcast?"

Lu Liancha pointed at Muran: "Isn't it because this kid is usually closed, fans all ran to my Weibo to ask questions."

Mu Ran was stunned for a moment, with a blank expression on his face: "Is that so?"

Lu Liancha curled her lips: "Did you not read Weibo recently?"

Mu Ran nodded: "I don't use Weibo very much."

Seeing this, the host asked: "What does Mu Ran usually do at home?"

Mu Ran said truthfully, "Play a game."

The host smiled: "Lian Cha has always praised you as a top student. It seems that top students like to play games just like us."

Mu Ran said seriously: "I'm not considered a top student, because I didn't study hard in high school because of playing games."

"Versailles!" Lu Liancha couldn't believe it, "You graduated from 985 and said you didn't study hard!"

The host interrupted: "I found another common ground with Xueba, but Xueba can still get into a good university without studying."

He glanced at the barrage, and read: "Some audience asked, did Mu Ran start playing games in high school?"

Mu Ran nodded.

The host asked again: "Why did you start playing games?"

Mu Ran was stunned.

this problem......

Xie Zeyao's complexion changed, and he looked at Wang Huo coldly: "There is no such process in the script."

"Who made him ask that question?"

Wang Huo winked at the director team while wiping his sweat.

The director team hurriedly gestured to the host.

The host was stunned, not understanding why this question could not be asked, he racked his brains to think about how to smooth things over.

Before he could figure it out, he heard Mu Ran say slowly, "Of course it's because the game is fun."

Mu Ran looked at the host in confusion, do you need a reason to play games?

The author has something to say: Xie Zeyao: Don’t you need it?
