Zhou Jingshan sighed helplessly, seeing Lin Xuece's expression was calm, he did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Rao Zhou Jingshan, a businessman with a deep city, couldn't help but mutter in his heart at this moment.

He has been in the mall for a long time and has met all kinds of people, so his vision is naturally higher than Steward Zhang's.

It can be seen at a glance that Lin Xuece is not pretending, but really doesn't care.

He doesn't care if the house is full of luxury goods; he doesn't care when he sees the father of the richest man in the city; he doesn't care when he sees a fake young master;

A young man in his 20s has such a calm demeanor.

Zhou Jingshan asked himself that at Lin Xuece's age, he couldn't do this.

However, when he thought that he had a bright future, he only made a mere few million, ran back to open some kind of shelter, lived with a group of wild cats, dogs and small animals all day long, and lived the life of a retired old man, Zhou Jingshan felt a little bit stuffy.

If you have no ambition, no matter how capable you are, it will be useless.

The four of them enjoyed a seemingly happy lunch. Zhou Jingshan and Chen Shuling took Lin Xuece out in the name of taking a walk after the meal. As for Zhou Yuping, they were also taken with them.

The luxury car drove around Haijing City all afternoon, and Zhou Jingshan fully demonstrated his financial resources in front of Lin Xuece.

I thought it would shock Lin Xuece, but in fact, Lin Xuece just wanted to laugh after hearing it.

Wu Gui also did this kind of thing, he still remembers the situation at that time, it was much more interesting than now.

He was thinking about the cubs in his heart, and his face was calm. Zhou Jingshan couldn't tell what he was thinking. Seeing that the time was almost up, he temporarily sent Chen Shuling and Zhou Yuping away. Lin Xuece smoked a cigarette.

"I don't smoke." Lin Xuece said.

"It's a good habit not to smoke, but sooner or later you have to learn to adapt to the world of adults." Zhou Jingshan said, lighting a cigarette, and said slowly, "Xue Ce, you are very smart and excellent, far exceeding my expectations." I expected to have a son like you, I am very satisfied and amazed."

Lin Xuece didn't know what to respond, so he didn't speak.

Zhou Jingshan didn't care, and continued: "I'm almost 60 years old. Although I don't want to be old, I have to admit that people of my age are far inferior to your young people. But I can't fall Next, the Zhou family is on my shoulders, behind you is your mother and many members of the Zhou family, so many employees, relying on the salary that the Zhou family gives them every month to survive, as an entrepreneur, I You have to take responsibility for their lives."

Zhou Jingshan said, and said to Lin Xuece: "If you are willing to take over the Zhou family, I can immediately transfer a part of the company's equity to you. First, use a few small companies to practice and grow up slowly, and strive for it before I fall down. , take complete control of the Zhou family and become the person in charge of the Zhou family, can you do it?"

Hearing this, Lin Xuece looked at Zhou Jingshan.

All the property of the richest man, who would not be tempted by any ordinary person?

If it weren't for the experience of crossing books, Lin Xuece wouldn't be able to say what kind of mood he would be in now.

However, after going through those storms, the properties of the Zhou family are no longer attractive to him.

But it was Zhou Jingshan's appearance of throwing the bait that made Lin Xuece wary.

Lin Xuece said: "Mr. Zhou may as well speak up if he has something to say."

Zhou Jingshan was really a little surprised this time. Lin Xuece's eyes were calm, but they seemed to be able to read people's hearts like a deep pool of water.

Zhou Jingshan said: "You are my own son, and mine is naturally yours. There is nothing to hide. But as I said just now, I am responsible for the tens of thousands of employees and the entire Zhou family. If you want to stand in my place and succeed me, you have to make the same sacrifices as I did."

"The reason why the baby was changed was not discovered, not only because Yu Ping looked very similar to your mother when he was a child, but more importantly, they have the same blood type, so we never had any doubts."

"Blood type?" Lin Xuece raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zhou Jingshan looked at him and said, "That's right, you are the same as them. The three of you are all rare blood. Yuping is not in good health and often needs surgery. Shuling, although she looks dignified on the surface, is actually the most beautiful." It's easy to hurt yourself if you are careless. I hope the three of you can support each other and treat each other like family."

After hearing this, Lin Xuece understood immediately, and couldn't help but smiled slightly.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingshan couldn't help staring at him and asked, "What's the matter, did you remember something funny?"

"Nothing." Lin Xuece said.

In fact, Lin Xuece was suspicious when he saw Zhou Jingshan and his wife.

Zhou Jingshan is calm and sophisticated, and Zheng Shuling loves Zhou Yuping even more.

If the child is in poor health and even needs surgery, he must have undergone a comprehensive physical examination and genetic screening.

They must have known that Zhou Yuping was not their biological child.

But it wasn't until now that Lin Xuece was found.

What he wants is not his son, but his blood.

It is said that they help each other, but among the three, the only one with problems is Zhou Yuping, Chen Shuling is not suitable, and the rest is Lin Xuece who should bleed.

Back then when he was in the Lin family, for Lin Qingtian's luck, the Lin family wanted to draw blood from him, a fake young master.

Now that he is in the Zhou family, for the sake of Zhou Yuping and Chen Shuling's bodies, the Zhou family wants to draw the blood of the true young master again.

Obviously two worlds, different parents, their needs for him are surprisingly consistent, isn't it ridiculous?

Although Lin Xuece was a little abnormal, Zhou Jingshan didn't take it to heart.

He just asked Lin Xuece to draw a little blood when necessary, and he didn't want his life.

Compared with the wealth of the Zhou family, this request cannot even be called a request.

Therefore, Zhou Jingshan continued: "In addition, I made an agreement with a family friend of yours. When the child reaches the right age, we will hold a wedding and the two families will join forces. This family friend is an important backbone of overseas Chinese organizations. Most of the shops in Chinatown are owned by him, and all the gold is traded through him. His jewel in the palm of his hand is the dream lover of countless people. With such a girl, you are afraid that you will become the rival in love of many people. .”

Lin Xuece was almost stunned: "What?"

Zhou Jingshan thought he was overwhelmed by joy, and said with a smile: "The wedding will be held in two months, and then you will live in their house for a year before returning to China. The two children follow your surname Zhou."

Lin Xuece laughed directly this time: "But my surname is Lin."

Zhou Jingshan glanced at him disapprovingly: "Back to the Zhou family, you are my Zhou Jingshan's son, so naturally you have to change back to my surname."

"So you need to find a son, not only as a mobile blood bag, but also as a marriage partner, going abroad to be a son-in-law?" Lin Xuece said.

At this time, Zhou Jingshan took a closer look at the expression on Lin Xuece's face, and after confirming that he was not half happy, he frowned slightly: "Xuece, you are a sensible and smart person, you may not be able to accept the content of today's conversation, but as long as you If you go back and think about it for a while, you will understand that there is nothing harmful to you. A little bit of blood and one or two children's surnames are nothing. As long as the Zhou family is still there, we will all be your backing. "

"Sorry, I already have a lover, and he's still a man, so it's impossible for me to marry someone, let alone a woman." Lin Xuece said directly.

When Zhou Jingshan heard this, a look of surprise and disgust flashed across his face: "You actually like men?"

"That's right." Compared to Zhou Jingshan's disgust, Lin Xuece was very frank, "I'm already with him."

Zhou Jingshan glanced into the distance with some annoyance: "Why have I never heard you mention it before?"

"You want to say why the investigators didn't find out." Lin Xuece said.

He had never had a boyfriend before, so of course it was impossible for anyone to find out.

However, there is no need to discuss this matter with Zhou Jingshan in detail.

Although Zhou Jingshan was not happy, but he was a seasoned businessman after all, he quickly calmed down and said, "It's my fault that I didn't bring you back sooner, and you got such a strange disease. But it doesn't matter, as long as you can stop those messy things , I can help you cover it up and convince them to accept you..."

"I think you may not understand what I mean." Lin Xuece emphasized, "I like men and I already have a boyfriend. It is impossible to marry a woman in this life."

Zhou Jingshan scolded: "You are crazy, do you know what you are talking about? You are also a man yourself. Do you think love is something you can rely on for a lifetime? In front of fame and money, do you choose love or be with a man?" Love together?!"

He thought that Lin Xuece would quickly realize his stupidity after being scolded by him.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuece nodded seriously: "Yes, I choose love."

After finishing speaking, seeing that it was not far from the shelter, he could take a taxi back by himself, so Lin Xuece bid farewell to Zhou Jingshan immediately.

Zhou Jingshan was very angry at Lin Xuece's remarks just now. Seeing that Lin Xuece was going back to the shelter, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "I heard that something happened in your shelter, and many small animals died of illness? You It was true that there were some deposits before, but after running the shelter for so long after leaving the company, and now the job competition is so fierce, the operation of the shelter fails, and if you return to your original position, how many companies do you think will want you? Even if you have How much more money do you think you can spend your whole life with this money and that wild man who doesn't know where he came from?"

Lin Xuece paused, stared at Zhou Jingshan, and said, "What did you say?"

Zhou Jingshan thought that Lin Xuece was frightened by his warning, so he continued to take a puff of cigarette, and snorted coldly: "You are still too young. You are only in your twenties, in good health, and focus on the present, just the amount in your bank account Money, a moderate illness will consume all your assets, as your biological father, I kindly remind you—”

Seeing Zhou Jingshan getting further and further away, Lin Xuece couldn't help interrupting Zhou Jingshan, and said, "Who told you that all the animals in the shelter died of illness?"

Zhou Jingshan was interrupted by Lin Xuece in the middle of his speech, and he gave Lin Xuece a sullen look.

Seeing Lin Xuece's nervous expression, he didn't seem to be joking, Zhou Jingshan asked suspiciously, "Didn't you watch the news?"

Lin Xuece quickly lowered his head and took out his phone.

The development of mobile phones in this world is slightly behind the world in the book.

Lin Xuece hadn't used a mobile phone in this world for a long time. He opened the webpage and searched it a little strangely. Soon, several news pages popped up.

Haijing Morning Post, Toutiao, etc., have released relevant news.

[Animal flu is rampant, and many animals in the city are sick, and all the animal shelters died of illness overnight...]

[Animal flu broke out in Haijing City, and the death of countless small lives affected the hearts of the citizens...]

The pictures on the news are all pictures of Lin Xuece's shelter.

Because the animal flu swept across the city, only his shelter was the worst, and all the small animals disappeared overnight.

Every photo is shocking.

Lin Xuece stared at the phone blankly, but didn't react for a long time.

Looking at the date of the news, it turned out to have happened recently.

"This is impossible..." Lin Xuece murmured.

He clearly remembered that before he passed through the book, all the cubs were with him in the shelter, and after passing through the book, everyone followed him into the world of books.

In his memory, there has never been a case of a cub dying of illness in the shelter!

Lin Xuece turned around immediately and ran towards the shelter.

Zhou Jingshan seemed to yell a few words angrily behind him, but Lin Xuece was no longer in the mood to listen.

He rushed back to the shelter as fast as he could.

The shelter was no different from when he left, it was still empty.

Holding the mobile phone, Lin Xuece looked around the shelter carefully while comparing the news.

Until night fell, the shelter was still quiet and empty, only Lin Xuece stood stiffly in place.

He clenched his phone tightly and made a few calls.

Although he lives independently and spends his days with small animals, Lin Xuece still has many friends in this world.

Contacting friends at this time is just to confirm one thing, is the news true or false?

The friends who received the call from Lin Xuece all expressed concern when they heard the questions raised by Lin Xuece.

One of them even said: "Xue Ce, I know you may not be in a good mood recently. My family's business failed and I lost tens of millions. I am also in pain now. My mother made an appointment for me. A psychiatrist is quite professional. , do you want to take a look with me?"

As he spoke, he seemed to flip through the book, and said to Lin Xuece: "In your situation, it should be that you have been thinking too much and refused to accept the memory disorder that occurred in reality, which led to hallucinations. By the way, now your eyes can see the shelter. There are no more small animals, so can your ears still hear their voices?"

Lin Xuece looked around blankly, not knowing how to react for a while, so she shook her head and said, "No."

"Then you should be awake now." The friend said, "Aside from losing the memory of the dead animals and fantasizing that they are still alive, do you have any other fantasies? What are you fantasizing about?" , It is likely to project your subconscious mind, as long as you know what your subconscious mind needs, you can treat the symptoms...Of course, I am not a professional psychiatrist, if you don't mind, I will record the following conversation and send it to My psychiatrist, please ask him to take a look at it for you, and save you a lot of consultation fees..."

Lin Xuece smiled wryly.

Besides fantasizing that the little animals are still alive, what else does he fantasize about?

That's too much...

Children who grew up in an orphanage and have never lived in a normal family have more or less psychological problems.

Lin Xuece has always performed well and has a fair ability to work, but he is very tired of dealing with people and prefers to be with small animals.

After entering the society and experiencing all kinds of human feelings, this sense of boredom has reached its peak.

During the rising period of his career, returning to his hometown with a "pension" to open an animal shelter, this kind of behavior, whether it was a former classmate or a colleague, could not understand and found it incredible.

But the same child who came out of the orphanage felt extremely normal.

Even compared with them, Lin Xuece seems to be very close to normal people.

Children with serious illnesses often have obvious self-destruct tendencies, and symptoms such as self-mutilation, depression, and schizophrenia are not uncommon.

Apart from being afraid of trouble, Lin Xuece looked healthy and normal.

However, at this moment, Lin Xuece's expression was stiff, and he fell into a terrible self-denial.

He looked at the empty shelter, and for a moment, he couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality.

He longs to be a family member with the little animals, so in another world, all the cubs are transformed into human forms;

He longs to be found by his relatives and to have a lively and complete home, so in another world, Wu Gui and other cubs have been looking for him for several years. He is the demon king, and all the cubs surround him and never leave him;

He has never had a normal love experience, so Styx appeared. No matter in terms of personality, appearance or other aspects, they all fit him perfectly. The two of them hardly had any conflicts or disputes. They are the perfect lover in his ideal...

The more Lin Xuece thought about it, the colder he felt.

Could it be that all of this is fake?

"Xue Ce, Xue Ce? Are you okay? If you feel pain, don't say it for now, maybe it's because I'm not professional enough. Do you need me to push your WeChat to the doctor and let him chat with you in person? Seeing that Lin Xuece didn't respond for a long time, my friend said quickly.

"No, I want to take a break, thank you."

After hanging up the phone with difficulty, Lin Xuece got up slowly and walked along the shelter again.

Every time he searched before, his focus was on searching for small animals.

At this time, looking carefully from another angle, Lin Xuece discovered that there were many details that he hadn't noticed during the day.

For example...not only the cubs disappeared, but also their food, cat litter and other supplies.

All the things that Zai Zai has used have traces of disinfection, and even Lin Xuece's room seems to have been tidied and cleaned.

But he has no impression of these.

There is no evidence to show that his experience of wearing a book is real.

But whether it is news or friends, witnesses and evidence can prove that the death of small animals in the shelter has become a fact.

If everyone in the world can see this fact, but he cannot see it, what does it mean?

Lin Xuece didn't dare to think about it any further.

Scenes from the past flashed in my mind, so real, but also because it was too perfect, it became a little false.

He covered his face in pain, like a drowning person immersed in a lake composed of fantasy and reality, trying to surface, but his body sank bit by bit, sinking deeply into the dark bottom of the lake among.

I don't know how long it has passed, suddenly, something lightly rests on Lin Xuece's curled finger.

His hand moved unconsciously, and he immediately felt something on the ring finger of one of his hands.

In the other world, he was a student; in the real world, he was alone, without a partner, and unmarried.

In either case, it is impossible to have jewelry on hand.

Lin Xuece lowered his head slightly, and saw an unfamiliar ring on his finger.

It was dark all around, but the ring was even darker than the night.

Like a gem soaked in the darkness of the abyss, it encircled his ring finger coldly.

Lin Xuece was taken aback for a moment, stared at the ring for a long time, and unconsciously said: "Styx..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ring seemed to have heard his call, and it spread out like light smoke and mist, turning into a black mist that surrounded him, drifted into his body little by little, and finally disappeared.

Lin Xuece stared blankly around for a long time.

Until a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and fell on him through the window lattice.

Lin Xuece raised his head, looking at the slightly blue morning morning outside the window.

The night passed, and a new day came.

Its daybreak.
