Coming out of the bar, Wang Miao watched Lu Rong go away in a black Bentley with a thoughtful expression on his face.

After getting in the car, he poked Xu Xizhou's arm.

"Are you really going to the banquet? Are you not afraid that Lu Rong's father will show his face when he sees you?"

Xu Xizhou leaned on the back of the seat, his handsome cheeks were a little red and his eyes drooped slightly after drinking a few glasses of cocktails.

"Now, he shouldn't dare to show me face."

"That's right, you are now the grandson of the richest man in City B. The last time Mr. Ren came to Lu's house, it must have a deterrent effect. If you want me to say, you should tell your real life experience in the bar just now , Guaranteed to frighten those people surnamed Zhong to the shit!"

Xu Xizhou chuckled, "It's not necessary to waste time with those people."

"You have a good temper, don't care about it. I am a person who will take revenge! Next time, if I dare to catch them with a few bad mouths, I will definitely make them worse than today!"

After gritting her teeth, Wang Miao glanced at the boy with half-closed eyes.

"You have to be careful the day after tomorrow. I always feel that Lu Rong hides a knife in his smile."

"understood."

Xu Xizhou changed his posture, leaned against the window sill, and closed his eyes.

Soon it was the day of grandma's birthday.

Xu Xizhou didn't sleep in, but asked the cleaner to come to the house early in the morning to clean the apartment inside and out.

Seeing the messy living room restored to cleanliness, Xu Xizhou's mood also improved a lot.

After washing up, he went to the cloakroom to pick out clothes for the banquet. As soon as he opened the door of the closet, he saw the two suits that Zhuang Jingchun had given him earlier.

At this moment, some suppressed bitter emotions seemed to resurface, piercing his heart like densely packed needles.

He took off the two suits with a blank expression, wrapped them in a random paper bag, and stuffed them into the innermost storage box.

Xu Xizhou simply stopped wearing a suit, and just put on a sweater and a thick down jacket.

After leaving the apartment, he went to a nearby department store first, picked out a gift and wrapped it up.As soon as he walked out of the store, he received a call from Lu Rong.

"Xiao Zhou, have you gone out? Do you want me to send someone to pick you up?"

Xu Xizhou didn't want Lu Rong to know where he lived.

"No need, I'm already on my way to Tea Saint."

"Okay, then you should pay more attention to yourself."

Entering the gate of the tea sage, Xu Xizhou felt as if he had passed away for a moment. Last year's grandmother's birthday party was also held here.One year passed, my grandfather left, and everything changed.

When he entered, there were already many guests sitting in the banquet hall, all of them were relatives and friends of the Lu family. Seeing him coming in, the expressions on their faces were somewhat surprised.

Xu Xizhou didn't care what these people thought of him, and went straight to the innermost box with the gift.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside, and a tall figure in a dark Chinese tunic came out. It was none other than Lu Feng.

Xu Xizhou was well prepared and said politely, "Uncle Lu."

When Lu Feng saw him, his face became stiff for a moment, and soon he put on a smile, his tone almost flattering.

"Xiaozhou, it's rare that you can come. You really have a heart. Your grandma and... adoptive mother are all inside."

Xu Xizhou nodded and walked into the box.

Grandma has white hair and a wool cap on her head. She is sitting in front of the electric stove and warming herself.The south is humid and cold in winter. Although there is heating in the hotel, grandma is old and weak, so she can hardly do without the electric stove in winter.

"Is Xiaozhou here?"

The old man's cloudy eyeballs slowly turned around, and a smile appeared on his wrinkled face when he saw the handsome and straight boy at the door.

"Xiaozhou, sit here with grandma!"

Xu Mei, who was sitting beside her, also saw Xu Xizhou, with a relieved smile on her pretty face.

"Xiaozhou, don't stand at the door, come in and sit down, your grandma is so happy to see you."

Xu Xizhou smiled, put down the gift, and walked over.

He sat by the electric stove, talked with his grandmother and Xu Mei for a while, and after a while, Lu Rong also came in.

He is dressed very formally today. He is wearing a neat three-piece suit. His black hair is combed back, exposing his smooth forehead. His handsome face has a trace of coldness, as if he already has a bit of the coldness of the future head of the Lu family. momentum.

"Xiao Rong is here too, the two of you brothers finally met and just had a chat." Xu Meirou said.

Lu Rong smiled and sat beside grandma.

The old man looked at the two grandchildren on the left and the right, with a loving smile on his face, holding the left and right hands of the two with his thin palms, and placing them on her knees.

"Xiao Rong, you are an older brother. No matter where Xiao Zhou goes or what happens to him in the future, you will help him and take care of him, you know?"

Xu Mei looked at this scene with a sore nose, and said softly, "Mom, have you forgotten? Xiaozhou is now the grandson of the Ren family. How could Mr. Ren let others bully his precious grandson."

"That's what I said, but I haven't visited Ren's house. I don't know what their house looks like, and whether everyone will treat Xiao Zhou well. I don't feel relieved."

Xu Xizhou clenched the old man's withered palm like bark, and his throat was a little choked.

In his previous life, not long after he was kicked out of the Lu family, his grandma died in depression, and he didn't even see her for the last time.But now, he can still sit here, holding the old man's hand and talking with her, how lucky he is.

"Grandma, don't worry, the Ren family treats me very well, no one bullies me."

Lu Rong also held the old man's hand slightly, with sincere eyes, "Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaozhou in this life."

His tone was solemn, but the last sentence fell into Xu Mei's ears. The latter frowned slightly, always feeling that there was something weird about it.

Xiao Rong's tone of voice when he said this was a bit too intimate, it didn't seem like he was treating Xiao Zhou as a younger brother, but as if he was...

I hope she thinks more.

Half an hour later, the birthday party officially began.

Xu Xizhou's special status saved him from many entertainments.He sat next to his grandma, helping the old man peel shrimp or serve soup from time to time.For the rest of the time, he didn't participate in the discussions with other relatives at the table, but just ate what was in his bowl attentively.

"Auntie, I heard that my cousin has gotten very close to the daughter of the Lin family recently, and may be engaged in the future. Is this news true?" A girl's voice suddenly sounded from the table.

The daughter of the Lin family?

Xu Xizhou narrowed his eyes and thought about it. In his previous life, Lu Rong seemed to be engaged to a daughter of a certain family right after graduation.Now that he is slowly starting to take over the company, it is estimated that he is not far away from getting engaged.

Xu Mei took a piece of shrimp meat to Xu Xizhou, frowned slightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing wrong with it. He's a young man with the same interests, just to be friends, don't talk nonsense."

"I also heard that the Lin family has only one daughter. Chairman Lin spoils her so much that he is afraid of melting in the palm of his hand. If my cousin can marry the daughter of the Lin family, wouldn't the Lin family's family fortune be full of wealth in the future?" ..."

"It's your mouth!"

Xu Mei interrupted her somewhat helplessly, "This is a banquet where there are a lot of people talking. If these words reach the ears of the Lin family, then you won't be able to eat and walk around."

"All right, aunt, I won't talk anymore."

The girl covered her mouth and smiled, then glanced at a table not far away.Lu Rong was tall and straight, wearing a suit and leather shoes, he stood out from the crowd, and was toasting with Lu Feng everywhere.

"To be honest, my cousin is so handsome, outstanding and capable. If I were the daughter of the Lin family, I would also be tempted."

As soon as this was said, everyone else at the dinner table laughed.

Only Xu Xizhou felt bored, took a sip of fruit wine, and showed no expression.

The girl glanced at Xu Xizhou. She had met Xu Xizhou a few times at the family banquet, and she didn't have a good impression of him. Unexpectedly, a counterfeit would have the face to sit at the main table, and she was somewhat upset in her heart.

"Brother Xizhou, speaking of it... have you got a girlfriend yet?"

Xu Xizhou put down his cup and glanced at the girl.He knew exactly what the other party was thinking, like a mirror.

Curling the corners of his mouth, Xu Xizhou smiled wickedly, "Whether I have a girlfriend or a boyfriend, don't you...don't know?"

The girl was choked suddenly, her face was a little ugly.

Xu Xizhou had almost eaten, and didn't want to stay longer.Both grandma and adoptive mother regard him as a relative, but the other relatives of the Lu family don't think so, especially the relatives on Lu Feng's side, most of them want to mock him openly and secretly.

He can't afford to be angry with them here.

"Grandma, I still have something to do at the club, so I'm leaving first, and I'll come to see you next time."

After greeting grandma and Xu Mei, Xu Xizhou left the banquet.Just as he was about to go to the door, he ran into a waiter who hurriedly came with a tray.

With a bang, the waiter hit him on the shoulder, and the soup from the tray spilled over him.

The waiter suddenly panicked, held the tray, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry! Customer, I didn't mean it!"

"Xiao Zhou, why did you finish eating so quickly?" Lu Rong just finished toasting at a nearby table, when he saw Xu Xizhou standing at the door, he quickly put down his glass and came over.

"What happened to the clothes?"

After Xu Xizhou came in, he took off his down jacket and only wore a sweater.This happened just as he was going to pick up his clothes, and he could only admit that he was unlucky.

"It's okay, they didn't do it on purpose, I just go home and change it."

"How can you do that? If you go out like this, you will definitely catch a cold when you are blown by the cold wind. There is a rest room inside. I will send someone a new shirt. You should change the soiled clothes first."

"Yes, guest, let me take you to change clothes first, I'm really sorry."

Seeing the way the waiter kept apologizing to him, Xu Xizhou had no choice but to follow him to the lounge.

Lu Rong stood where he was, watching him walk in, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Xiao Rong, you, Uncle Lin, are here too, why are you standing here stupidly? Hurry up and toast."

Hearing Lu Feng's voice, Lu Rong lowered his eyelashes and showed a decent smile.

"it is good."

Before turning around, he sent a text message to his assistant, asking him to send the spare shirt in his car to the VIP lounge inside.

"The son of the Lu family is really a good-looking talent, young and promising, Lu Feng, you have raised a good son!"

"No, it's because this kid is smart on his own, so I don't need to worry about it. But Lao Lin, your daughter is getting better and better. It's really a girl's [-]th change!"

"Hahahaha! I love hearing what you say!"

Amidst the laughter, the young and beautiful girl in a light pink coat looked at him from time to time, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Lu Rong raised his head and drank a glass of wine, met the girl's gaze, and smiled slightly.The girl's cheeks flushed immediately, and she lowered her head to pick up some vegetables, never daring to look at him again.

Lu Rong lowered his eyes, a trace of irritability and impatience flashed in his pupils.He has no interest in the daughter of the Lin family. In fact, no matter how beautiful a woman is in front of him, he has no interest.

He knew that most of these daughters liked him because of his family background. If he was still Lu Rong who came out of the ravine before, would these daughters still like him?

With a cold snort in his heart, Lu Rong drank another glass of wine.Just as he put down his wine glass, he caught a glimpse of the assistant coming in from the door with a bag in his hand, probably going to deliver clothes to Xu Xizhou.

Thinking of Xu Xizhou wearing his clothes, somewhere in Lu Rong's heart seemed to be scratched by a cat's paw, and it felt inexplicably itchy and hot.

After finding an excuse to leave the banquet, Lu Rong went to the innermost VIP lounge alone.

I ran into the assistant who came out of the room head-on, and the other party was a little surprised when he saw him.

Lu Rong made a booing gesture and asked him to leave first.

He was good at drinking, although he drank a lot at the banquet, he was not drunk, but his fair face was slightly blush.

He blinked, put his hand on the doorknob, and gently turned it open.

Sure enough, the door was unlocked, and the boy in the room was changing clothes with his back turned to him.

The naked, powerful shoulders suddenly came into his sight. Under the crystal chandelier, the boy's skin was like flowing honey, with a lustrous luster.

Lu Rong thought, he must be a little drunk, otherwise, why would his eyes be glued to the tight waistline of a man of the same sex, as if his soul had been taken away, and he couldn't move his eyes away.

In just an instant, that smooth and beautiful waistline was covered by the shirt.

Xu Xizhou buttoned up his buttons, vaguely aware of something wrong, turned around, and met Lu Rong's gaze unsuspectingly.

He had never seen Lu Rong look at him with such eyes.

Xu Xizhou felt it was weird, so he quickly put on his down jacket.

"I will return your clothes to you next time, thank you for today."

"It's a small matter, no need to thank you."

Lu Rong smiled, walked into the room, and locked the door.

At this time, in the garden.

Steward Chen stood in front of the master bedroom door with a tray in his hand, and knocked on the door nervously.

"Master, are you feeling better? Eat something."

There were a few weak coughing sounds from inside, Chen Butler's heart tightened, and he hurriedly opened the door and walked in, ignoring the impoliteness.

He put the tray on the bedside table and looked at the pale young man who was leaning on the pillow and coughing non-stop, with a very worried expression.

"Master, didn't your fever subside yesterday? Why is your complexion still so ugly? Did you not take your medicine on time?"

"You don't have to... take care of me."

Zhuang Jingchun's pale and handsome face was sunk in the pillow, her hair was wet with sweat, and she looked sluggish and embarrassed.

Seeing Zhuang Jingchun giving up on herself, Chen Butler sighed softly.

"Master, if you were reluctant to part with Mr. Xu, why didn't you keep him when he came to move things? Why did you make it like this, and you felt uncomfortable."

Zhuang Jingchun looked out of the window. In the greenhouse in the courtyard, Clivia was in full bloom. In a daze, he seemed to see Xu Xizhou standing in the courtyard watering the flowers.

The itchiness in his throat rushed up again, he frowned and coughed heavily.

"You won't understand."

Butler Chen was speechless for a moment.Ever since Xu Xizhou moved out, this villa has lost all popularity.

The young master leaves early and returns late every day, often working overtime at the company until midnight before returning home.I came back in the rain and snow a few nights ago, which probably caused me to catch a bad cold.

If you catch a cold, it's fine if the young master is willing to recuperate and rest, but the young master is not willing to cooperate with the doctor's treatment at all, and refuses to take medicine when the fever subsides, and loses his temper like a child.

Last night, the young master slept in Xu Xizhou's room again without a quilt.The symptoms of the cold really got worse today.

Looking at Zhuang Jingchun's thin face, Chen Butler sighed and suddenly thought of something.

"Master, people from the Lu family came to deliver invitations two days ago, saying that Chairman Lu's mother-in-law is celebrating her [-]th birthday today. I think you are not feeling well, so I declined."

Chairman Lu's mother-in-law, isn't that Xu Xizhou's grandmother?

Zhuang Jingchun retracted her gaze from the window.

If Xiaozhou was still in Wancheng, he would definitely go.If he really went, he would be at a disadvantage if he met some unreasonable relatives of the Lu family.

What's more, that fellow Lu Rong is also there.In case, he wants to take the opportunity to bully Xiao Zhou again...

"Look, do you want to send me a gift?" Steward Chen tentatively asked.

The man who was originally sluggishly lying on the quilt seemed to suddenly gain strength, propped up his palms, and sat up from the bed.

"Choose a gift, I'll deliver it myself."

in the lounge.

The corners of Lu Rong's eyes were slightly bent, and he looked at the boy opposite him with a smile.

"Xiaozhou, you are actually very suitable for wearing a shirt."

He walked up to Xu Xizhou and stretched out his hand to straighten his collar.

Lu Rong was too close to him, and the smell of alcohol on his body was clearly audible, goosebumps appeared on Xu Xizhou's arms, so he took two steps back to distance himself from him.

"Sorry, I have other things to do, so I'm leaving first.

Just as he was about to turn around, his arm was suddenly grabbed by a force.Lu Rong pulled him back, with a hint of sternness on his handsome face.

"Xiao Zhou, am I not good enough for you? Why do you avoid me like the plague?"

"Lu Rong, did you drink too much?"

Xu Xizhou was sure that Lu Rong was drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have been pestering him for no reason.

"Did I drink too much? Don't worry, I can drink very well, and it's no problem to drink a few catties."

Lu Rong stood in front of him, with a pair of black eyes full of paranoia.He stared at Xu Xizhou's face firmly, then raised his hand suddenly, and stroked his black hair.

"Xiaozhou, I just want to tell you what's in my heart. You don't know. I wanted to go to the last race of F2. I wanted to witness with my own eyes that you won the championship. But there are too many things about the company. I was under a lot of pressure and didn't have time to go, so I missed it. Xiao Zhou, can you forgive me?"

Xu Xizhou stared at the door, forced a smile, and dealt with him perfunctorily.

"You're going to take over the Lu family soon. You're a busy person. It's normal to take care of everything, so don't blame yourself."

"Do you know...why I work so hard? Because I don't want to be compared to that fellow Zhuang Jingchun! Doesn't he think I'm too young and look down on me? I'll prove to him what I, Lu Rong, can do!"

"Xiaozhou, I'm actually very happy to hear that you broke up with Zhuang Jingchun. I don't know why, but I feel relaxed..."

Listening to Lu Rong's words, Xu Xizhou's handsome brows frowned more and more tightly.

This trend is really not good. He originally thought that after these few months, Lu Rong wouldn't have that kind of thought about him, but he didn't expect this guy to become more and more paranoid.

"Xiaozhou, you said...why is this?"

Lu Rong's eyes were blurred, and he looked at the person in front of him with fiery black eyes, and suddenly raised his hand, wanting to touch his face.Xu Xizhou was always on guard against him, so he took a step back quickly.

"I really should go, I have something important to do."

Looking at Lu Rong, who was drunk and talking nonsense, Xu Xizhou was calm on the surface, but he was a little flustered in his heart. There were all guests from the Lu family outside. If they saw the intimate behavior of the two of them inside, if it spread , and must not be slandered.

Seeing Xu Xizhou insisted on leaving, Lu Rong felt as if something had burst in his heart, his eyes were dark, he took a step forward, and hugged him tightly from behind.

"Xiao Zhou, I haven't finished my sentence yet, can you stop being so cruel to me?"

Xu Xizhou gritted his teeth. Today is grandma's [-]th birthday. He didn't want to make it too ugly, but Lu Rong challenged his bottom line again and again, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

He directly bent his right leg and kicked backwards, hitting Lu Rong's kneecap.

Lu Rong cried out in pain, fell on the carpet, and got up unwillingly.

Xu Xizhou hurried to open the door, only to find that the door was locked.He cursed angrily and kicked the door.

"Is there anyone out there?"

At first, I thought that no one would answer, but I didn't expect that the moment the voice fell, there were voices outside.

"Mr. Zhuang, it's not good for you to barge in like this. Our young master is resting inside."

Could it be that Zhuang Jingchun is here?

Xu Xizhou leaned against the door, happy in his heart, and soon cast aside his weakness.

"Xiaozhou, are you inside?" Sure enough, Zhuang Jingchun's voice sounded from outside.

Xu Xizhou glanced at Lu Rong, who was rushing towards him tremblingly, and responded boldly.

The next moment, the door was opened, Xu Xizhou flicked to the side, Lu Rong was caught in the air, and fell directly to the ground.

Zhuang Jingchun was wearing a black overcoat and her hair was a little messy, as if she had hurried over from home.His cheeks were morbidly pale, and when he saw Lu Rong on the ground, he immediately understood something.

He quickly walked up to Xu Xizhou and looked him up and down.

"Xiao Zhou, Lu Rong didn't do anything to you, did he? Are you okay?"

"It's just a drunkard, what can you do to me?" Xu Xizhou lowered his eyes, not wanting to talk to him.

"Zhuang Jingchun, get your dirty hands off and don't touch the boat!"

Lu Rong got up from the ground, and when he looked up, he saw Zhuang Jingchun holding Xu Xizhou's shoulder, and his eyes suddenly ignited with anger.

"Master, be careful!"

A black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and in the next second, his cheek hurt, and a burning pain came.

Zhuang Jingchun was already ill and had a low fever. Lu Rong punched her so hard that she saw double images like snowflakes in front of her eyes. She swayed and fell backwards.

"Zhuang Jingchun!"

Xu Xizhou was the closest to him, and subconsciously reached out to catch him.
