Lewis couldn't help but asked curiously: "I heard from him last time that he and his younger brother are not related by blood? His younger brother also doesn't like to associate with the relatives of the Audister family...?"

What Lewis originally wanted to ask was "what's going on" or "is there any secret in it".

But such a question seemed impolite, so Lewis didn't ask it.

But Liu Xiusi also understood, so he directly told him the answer: "It's like this, the wife of the former Patriarch of the Audister family gave birth to Chillide, and she died of illness not long after. But it doesn't mean that he didn't date other women. He just didn't want to remarry so early. One of the women was pregnant, so he married this woman. In fact, this woman was not pregnant with the old Patriarch's child, it was just her It's just a trick to marry into a wealthy family..."

Lewis suddenly realized: "The child born to this cunning woman... is Chillide's 'baby brother'?"

"Yes, the second young master of the Audister family is called 'Soder'. Chilid and Soder have grown up together since childhood, and they have a deep relationship. Soder was originally a modest and kind man, if he hadn't Due to the change of fate, his temperament will not become as withdrawn as it is now."

Lewis became even more curious: "What happened?"

"Soder got a rare disease when he was 15 years old. The doctor thought it had something to do with heredity. Everyone became suspicious, so they tested the DNA, and it turned out that Soder was not a descendant of Audister." Liu Xiusi said lightly. Said, "The old master was very angry and forced his wife to tell the truth. After learning the truth, the old master was furious and expelled the mother and son from the Audister family. No matter how much the woman begged, he was very sorry for Sodel's illness. Don't ask. None of the relatives are willing to help—even if they know that if they don't help, Soder will probably die of illness."

Lewis had mixed feelings for a moment, and only said: "Fortunately, Soder survived?"

"Yes, he survived." Liu Xiusi replied with a smile, "It was Chillide who secretly helped him. But despite this, after the physical illness healed, the psychological trauma could not be repaired, and Soder became very He is lonely and unwilling to interact with relatives. Chi Lide wanted to pick him up to recuperate in a place with better living conditions, but he was also unwilling, saying that he was not worthy of a good life, so he lived alone in a remote farm and sold paintings to make ends meet. born."

"It's such a pity." Lewis sighed. "And Soddle's mother?"

"She has passed away." Liu Xiusi replied, "She was a woman with strong vanity. After being expelled from the Audister family, she still wanted to maintain a decent life. As a result, her debts were so high that she was forced to commit suicide by debt collectors. "

Lewis took a deep breath, feeling sad, and said, "Then Chillide didn't help her?"

"No." Liu Xiusi said, his tone was very indifferent, as if he also felt that this woman was not worthy of help.

Lewis let out a long sigh. This sad story made his heart grow heavier tonight.

He believed that Soder's current situation must be very embarrassing. Facing the help of his unrelated brother was both ashamed and disrespectful.

And the mother's death probably also cast a shadow in Sodel's heart!At that time, Soder was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

As for others, Lewis remembered that he was also at that age when he lost his mother.What's more, he was still living a good life at that time, and his heart was so damaged, it was even more difficult for him to imagine how Sodel would accept this blow after his life experience was revealed, abandoned by his family, and even contracted a serious illness!

Liu Xiusi and Lewis looked at each other, relatively speechless.

The silence grew deep, and Lewis was always willing to be the first to break it.Therefore, he pretended to be relaxed and smiled, and said, "Then you remember to say hello to Mr. Sodder for me. I hope he is all right."

Liu Xiusi smiled: "You are so kind to strangers, you have to extend your sincere blessings. But for me, you go to harm your relatives, it's really embarrassing for you."

This made Lewis look embarrassed: "Then you are still teasing me?"

"Yes. This is what I did wrong." Liu Xiusi admitted his mistake, "But I still couldn't help it."

This made Lewis speechless.

Lewis looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "It's getting late, you have to go out tomorrow..."

He originally wanted to say "You should go back as soon as possible", but before he could say this, Liu Xiusi cut it off and said, "Yes, then I'd better sleep here for the night. It would be dangerous to go back so late."

Lewis was a little surprised that Liu Xius would say that, but since Liu Xius had said so, it was hard for Lewis to refuse.

Lewis said: "Then... there is no vacant room here..."

"I'll just squeeze with you." Liu Xiusi said in a natural tone, "Just like two days ago."

Lewis couldn't believe that he had slept in the same bed with Liu Xiusi for three consecutive nights.

But that's what happened.

Liu Xiusi ran to take a bath on his own, and Lewis took advantage of the time when Liu Xiusi went to the bathroom to hide the bear doll.

Seeing the innocent bear doll stuffed into the dark corner of the suitcase, Lewis touched the bear's head with regret: "I have wronged you..."

When the bear doll's head was held down, it seemed to nod in understanding.

Liu Xiusi walked into the bedroom wearing Lewis' nightgown, and lay down naturally.Lewis sat by the bed and asked, "When did you make an appointment with Chillard tomorrow? Do you want to run back to the mountain again?"

"Just wait at the bottom of the mountain." Liu Xiusi patted the bed, "Don't think so much, go to bed early."

"I'm afraid you'll be in trouble." Lewis said, "I'm thinking of making an appointment for an mcall for you, and I want to make an appointment for a car to go down the mountain..."

"I'm also afraid of trouble for you." Liu Xiusi hugged Lewis and put him on the bed, "Go to sleep."

Half of Lewis's body was almost suppressed by Liu Xius, but he felt that his breathing became short of breath, as if it was not Liu Xius who was suppressing him, but a boulder.He couldn't even breathe well.

Fortunately, Liu Xiusi quickly turned over and turned back to the other side of the bed, keeping a distance of at least 10cm from Lewis.Lewis felt the fresh air return to his body, allowing him to breathe smoothly again.

Day, it will be bright soon.

Liu Xiusi got up on time without even needing an alarm.

He went into the bathroom to wash, changed his clothes, pushed the door out, and saw Lewis breathing evenly and sleeping deeply, like a baby.

He liked how Lewis was sleeping, so peaceful.He likes how Lewis is as secure as a child.

This is one of the few things in this world that can make Liu Xiusi like and be happy.

Liu Xiusi didn't want to make any noise that would wake Lewis up, so he finished washing and dressing in the bathroom, and when he came out, he just put on his shoes slowly.After he sat on the edge of the bed and put on his black leather shoes, he turned his head and saw that Lewis was still sleeping soundly.

He was relieved, and gently scraped Lewis's tall and straight nose bridge with his knuckles.

As if being harassed, Lewis wrinkled his nose and eyebrows, looking uncomfortable.

Liu Xiusi withdrew his hand and brushed the loose hair on Lewis' forehead.

Then, Liu Xiusi opened the window lightly, jumped out from the window, and closed the window from the outside.

An hour later, Lewis woke up from the bed in a daze.

He looked around and found that the building was empty, and he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable loneliness in his heart.

Lewis' eyes fell on the bedside table and saw a piece of paper - it was obviously left by Liu Xiusi before he left.He picked up the paper and glanced at it, his expression changed slightly, and he ran out.After walking away from the bedroom, Lewis saw Yang Olive was watching TV in the living room, and asked, "Have you seen my brother?"

Yang Olive was startled, not understanding what Lewis meant, and said, "See, I've seen it..."

Lewis flicked his hair a little annoyed: "When?"

"Two months ago...?" Yang Olive thought for a while, "Maybe it was a month ago...at some elite party..."

Lewis was stunned before he understood: "Didn't you see him today?"

"Ah?" Yang Olive didn't understand, "I just got up this early in the morning and haven't gone out yet. How did I see him?"

Lewis shut his mouth, realizing that he had really asked the wrong question.

Yang Olive saw that Lewis was hesitant to speak, so he thought something was wrong, and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Is 'Proud Eagle' bothering you?"

Thinking of his e-mail and social accounts full of unread emails, Lewis said, "Now, the whole family is searching for me."

"Haha!" Yang Olive laughed, "Then you are most suitable here! There is no better place to hide from the limelight!"

Lewis remembered his brother's entrustment last night, shook his head, and said, "I have to go back quickly. I can't hide anymore."

"Oh?" Although Yang Olive didn't understand why Lewis suddenly changed his mind, he was happy to see such a change, "It's good! Hold your chest up and be a responsible man!"

Lewis smiled and said, "Thank you for always supporting me."

"It's okay." Yang Olive said casually, "Basically polite."

"What's your plan?" Lewis asked. "Are you going to stay here, or go back to China?"

"I haven't finished the business I've discussed here," Yang Olive replied, "I may not be able to accompany you back home, is that okay?"

Lewis couldn't help laughing: "Of course it's okay, I'm not a child! Do I have to be under the supervision of an adult to fly?"

Yang Olive also laughed.

In this way, Lewis and Olive Yang parted ways. One stayed in Ainia to continue to discuss the business he had not yet negotiated, and the other took the nearest plane back to the embrace of the motherland.

When Lewis got off the plane, he saw the butler standing there waiting.He didn't tell his family he was coming back, but they were there waiting.

In fact, he wasn't too surprised, the whole family scraped his whereabouts like oil.Probably the second he used his passport to buy a plane ticket, his family already knew about it.

"Why are you here?" Lewis walked towards the butler with a smile on his face, as if he was expecting the butler's arrival early in the morning, "Where's Dad?"

The housekeeper also smiled: "Master is waiting for you in the car."

"Let's go." Lewis smiled faintly, followed the butler to the outside of the airport, and boarded the old man's Limo.

Old Liu was sitting in the back seat, and when he saw Lewis, he smiled: "Are you back? Is Ainia fun?"

"There's nothing to do. The infrastructure in that place is not good, and the signal is very weak. I couldn't even make a call. I didn't know that everyone was looking for me until I came back." Lewis opened his eyes and said nonsense, smiling, "I'm so sorry!"

Old Liu sneered and said, "The signal is really weak! When Lucius signed an agreement with you and entrusted a domestic agent to handle the equity transfer, the signal became stronger?"

"This is what you're talking about?" Lewis said suddenly, "I don't know about this, so I just signed it, and Lucius did everything else."

"Oh?" Lao Liu raised his eyebrows, "You mean, it has nothing to do with you?"

"You can't say that, after all, I am the beneficiary." Lewis replied, "You said, he is willing to give me equity, so I have no reason not to?"

Old Liu smiled and said, "That's the smartest sentence I've ever heard from you... Before when I said I wanted you to join 'Aoying', you made excuses in every possible way, but now you know the benefits of equity gone?"

Lewis replied, "Father, are you blaming me?"

"No, no." Old Liu shook his head. "I think it's good. After all, we are father and son. You have figured it out, you are sensible, and Dad is very pleased. Let's go to a meeting tomorrow and vote to decide, We, father and son, will join the board of directors together...what do you think?"

Lewis smiled: "Okay."

Lewis agreed so readily that Lao Liu was also shocked.

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, and said, "You agreed?"

"Of course, we are the real father and son!" Lewis smiled, "I'm always very obedient, aren't I?"

Old Liu actually couldn't say "no". After a while, he just nodded and praised: "Of course, you have always been my best son!"
