After deciding to pursue Liu Xiusi, everything became extremely simple.

After a few polite words with Kone, Lewis left.Kone could see that Lewis was eager to return, so he didn't stop him.When Lewis was driving, he didn't know whether to go home or go to the "Proud Eagle" building first.In order to avoid waiting for Hughes in vain like last time, Lewis decided to call Liu Xiusi in advance.

When Liu Xiusi received the call, he seemed to have expected that Lewis would contact him early in the morning, and his tone was very calm: "Come to see me, Xiao Yi?"

"Well, yes." Lewis replied, "Are you in Proud Eagle?"

"Not here. Don't come here." Liu Xiusi said, "I'm going to the law firm to see my lawyer now."

Lewis thought about it, and felt that it was the same. Liu Xius was accused, so he should go to a lawyer first.

"Do you need me to accompany you?" Lewis asked, "I'm worried about you."

"You don't have to worry about anything." Liu Xiusi said, "I'm fine."

Can't hear the truth of this statement.

Lewis was silent for a while, and then said again: "But I can't help worrying. In order to make me feel more at ease, please tell me what I can do."

"You can..." Liu Xiusi pondered for a while, then smiled, "You can focus on your own brand first, and solve the problem of investment. That's the most important thing."

Of course, Lewis is currently focusing on the establishment of the "Osmanthus" brand, and the biggest problem encountered during the establishment process is the shortage of funds.Now, it was in Lewis' best interest to handle the matter.

Liu Xiusi said this sentence as if it was for Lewis' good, but it made Lewis sound unhappy.Lewis thought about it for a while, and soon found the reason, and said dissatisfiedly: "You mean—teach me to take care of myself and not make trouble, so it's a favor for you?"

"What?" Liu Xiusi smiled wryly, "Of course I didn't mean that."

"Oh?" Lewis always felt that he was perfunctory by Liu Xius, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied, "Then what do you mean? Can you explain it more clearly?"

Liu Xiusi said, "I mean, the problems I'm encountering now are not troublesome. In comparison, if you suffer setbacks, it's my troubles."

Lewis said uneasily: "My business is a trivial matter compared to yours."

"Xiao Yi," Liu Xiusi said in a pleasant tone, "How can your matter be a trivial matter?"

"..." Lewis didn't expect Hughes to say that, and was stunned for a while.

"Then you take care of your own affairs and don't worry about me," Hughes still said gently, "Okay, Xiao Yi?"

"Yeah." As if hypnotized, Lewis unconsciously nodded and agreed, "I will."

"That's great. Then I'm relieved." Hughes said, "Then I'll see you at home tonight."

After hanging up Liu Xiusi's phone, Lewis stayed in the garage, not knowing where to go.After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was led away by Hughes again.

"I'm really useless... Every time I want to express my position to him, but I can't do it..." Lewis complained as he pulled the car out, but when he was driving on the side of the road, he saw the person on the side of the street A familiar figure - it was Kone.Kenny was standing on the street, talking on the phone anxiously, chattering about something, beside him was the BMW motorcycle.

"Kennie?" Lewis parked the car on the side of the road, rolled down the window, and greeted Kenny.

Seeing Lewis, Kenny wiped the sweat from his brow and said with a smile, "Oh, what a coincidence!"

"Isn't it?" Lewis looked at the car, then at Kone's anxious expression, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the car?"

"Yeah!" Kenny nodded heavily, and said displeasedly, "It's still a BMW! If you say it's dead fire, it's dead fire!"

"Then what do you do now?"

Knie said: "I called the dealership and then towed the truck." After speaking, Knie paused, and then said: "But now I have an appointment... I'm in a hurry."

"Well," said Lewis, "where are you going? Shall I drive you?"

Kenny was very happy, left the motorcycle on the side of the road, and got into Lewis' car.Lewis smiled and said, "Just leave your car there, don't you care?"

"The after-sales service will take care of it." Kenny said indifferently, "Let's go."

Lewis started the car and said, "Where are you going?"

Kone gave an address.

That address is a law firm, which Lewis is very familiar with. An important partner of that law firm is Liu Xiusi's personal lawyer.

Lewis frowned, and had some thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't say it, but he couldn't help it for a long time, and said, "That's... you are going to see my brother, right?"

Kenny gave an exaggerated "ah" and said, "How do you know? You are suitable to be a policeman."

"I...how can I?" Lewis smiled wryly, and said, "What's the matter with you going to see him? Could it also be related to the fact that he is not the parent and child of the Liu family?"

Kenny shook his head and said, "What does that matter have to do with me?"

"That's true." Lewis shrugged, "Then what do you want him to do?"

Kenny said: "The purpose of looking for you today is the same. It is to ask him how much he knows about your parents' marital status."

"Oh... Indeed, it's more suitable for you to find him than me." Lewis smiled wryly. "He was quite old at that time, and his mind was delicate. He should know more about family affairs than me."

Kone said, "I think your brother should know a lot, but I think he's always reluctant to tell me... From my intuition, he should be hiding a lot of secrets."

"Really?" Lewis immediately questioned, "He just doesn't like to talk, and because of his family environment and other reasons, he doesn't want to share his inner feelings. I don't think he hides it." Lewis said The above said so, but that's because to outsiders—the other party was a criminal policeman—of course he defended Hughes.But in fact, Lewis also felt that Hughes was hiding a lot of secrets, even a little suspicious.

Kone said: "Well, yes. And he has been in so much trouble recently, he doesn't want to spend time on me, I can understand - but in fact it can't, it's his mother's business after all... ..."

Hearing this, Lewis' face changed.

Kone realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...my bad mouth..."

"It's okay." Lewis pursed his lips and forced a smile.

Soon, Lewis drove the car downstairs to the law firm, and said to Kernie, "Go up by yourself. I won't go. I don't think they want to see me either."

"Why?" Kenny asked curiously.

Lewis said, "Before, didn't my brother tell you not to tell me about my mother?"

"Ah, that..." Kone said, "But in fact, I should let you know. That's why I also think his attitude is very strange."

"It's not surprising." Lewis laughed at himself. "He's always like this, and he refuses to share his real troubles with me. Maybe he thinks I'm a child. He thinks I can't understand or handle it..."

"That's so annoying." Knie complained for Lewis, "You're a smart adult."

Lewis smiled and said, "Thank you."

Kenny laughed too.

Lewis thought for a while, but said: "Then you better not talk about the fact that you are in contact with me. In case he is not happy."

When Kenny heard this, he felt strange: "Didn't I lie to him?"

"I didn't ask you to lie. I just told you not to tell it." Lewis smiled, looking a little cunning, "The so-called 'lying' means that you have to tell a lie to be a lie. If you don't tell it, how can you lie?"

Kenny also walked in for a moment, but remained silent for a while.

After sending Kone to the law firm, Lewis went home by himself.Not long after he got home, he received a call from Hughes.On the other end of the phone, Hughes said: "Since you said that you have something to discuss with you, I will talk about it."

"What's the matter?" Lewis said with a little doubt in his tone.

Hughes said: "I intend to issue a statement denying their allegations, but I will admit that I am not a Liu family heir and declare that I will sever father-son relationship with Lao Liu."

Lewis was taken aback, his mind buzzing like a bell.

This is really explosive news.

"Xiao Yi?" Unable to hear Lewis' reply, Hughes couldn't help but continued, "Are you listening?"

"Ah, I'm listening." Lewis reacted quickly and adjusted his voice, "Have you decided yet?"

"Yes." Hughes said, "I don't want to be a member of the Liu family anymore."

Lewis seemed to understand Hughes, he understood Hughes' decision.

but……

"But..." Lewis said hesitantly, "but..."

"But what?"

"But," Lewis said after thinking for a while, "is that also equivalent to breaking off the relationship with my brother?"

There was silence on the phone for two seconds.

Hughes' voice sounded again soon: "Yes. In a sense, we are not brothers anymore."

Lewis' heart swayed again, drifting away.

A close connection between him and Hughes was about to be severed, and he was a little bit reluctant.

"That, that..." Lewis was a little confused, as if he was groping for something in the dark.

His hesitation also infected Hughes.

Hughes lowered his voice and asked him, "Aren't you happy for me to do this?"

"Huh?" Lewis was stunned for a while, but suddenly thought: If they have always been brothers, they will definitely be criticized if they are together.If they were no longer brothers...

Lewis' heart jumped like a deer again.

"It's not that I'm unhappy." Lewis settled down and said, "It's just that it feels a little sudden."

"Suddenly?" Hughes smiled, "How long has it been since I found out the results of my DNA test? Isn't there enough time for you to digest?"

Lewis felt a little unreasonable when he heard this.

"I thought...it wouldn't affect it." Lewis said a little confusedly, "I didn't expect this matter to be so vigorous."

"It's only when it's vigorous and vigorous." Hughes said, "It's also suitable for you and me."

"Ok?"

Hughes smiled and said, "Then I will take it as your consent."

Lewis smiled wryly, and said, "Are you pretending to ask for my opinion? In fact, you have already made up your mind."

"You can say that." Hughes readily admitted, "but didn't you ask me to ask for your opinion?"

"Okay." Lewis felt a little comforted. It seemed that Hughes still took his words to heart.After a while, Lewis asked again: "Then do you have anything else to discuss with me?"

"Not for the time being," Hughes said.

Lewis felt a little unhappy again—then, why did Kone ask you for it?Are you really going to keep it completely hidden from me?

After hanging up the phone, Lewis kept checking the news media, waiting to see the breaking news.After half an hour, he really saw the headline ""Proud Eagle" young boss Liu Xiushen published a statement to sever the relationship between father and son".

Lewis clicked on the news, read the full text, and found that the headline of the news only focused on "severing the relationship between father and son".In fact, this statement is a response to Uncle Liu's statement.Uncle Liu accused Hughes of not being from the Liu family, and used fraudulent means to win the position of chairman of the group, and reported Hughes for insider trading and stock price manipulation.Hughes’ statement responded to each of these items. First, he said that he only recently learned that he was not Lao Liu’s biological son, and he did not intentionally deceive the board of directors. He did not carry out any illegal activities, and denied all the allegations made by Uncle Liu; in the end, he said that he was indeed not a child of the Liu family, and the Liu family refused to accept him, so he voluntarily announced that he would sever ties with the Liu family, and soon It will go to the household registration office to carry out corresponding operations.

However, the news media like to focus on "not the key point" and exaggerate the information that Hughes and Lao Liu severed the father-son relationship.

Not long after, another media person found a new "hot spot" and posted an article saying "The second ancestor of "Proud Eagle", Lewis, may become the biggest winner."The article pointed out that Lewis is a silver-like wax gun head, and he is not good anywhere. He is useless except for his family's money, and there is no place for him in the family business.But because Hughes was removed from the genealogy, Lewis was able to "turn over and become the master".Some people thought that Lewis had obtained Hughes' equity and became a director before, thinking that this was Lewis' victory.

"It's too boring." Lewis didn't care about such reports.

Hughes, on the other hand, was not very happy when he saw the report: "Why is Xiao Yi the second ancestor?"

Is there such a cute second ancestor?

Hughes was afraid that Lewis would be in a bad mood due to the influence of the media, so he went home directly without returning to "Proud Eagle" after dealing with the affairs of the lawyer's office.When Hughes arrived home, Miss Lianzi came up to him and said, "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master is waiting for you to come back for dinner."

When Hughes heard this, he looked at his watch and said, "It's so late, he hasn't eaten yet?"

Originally, Hughes planned to take a shower and change clothes after being away for a day, but now he was afraid that Lewis would be hungry, so he immediately went to the restaurant and ordered Sister Lianzi to serve dinner immediately.

Hughes sat down at the dining table and said to Lewis, "Why do you have to wait for me to come back? You can eat first by yourself."

Lewis said, "We haven't had dinner together for a long time." As he spoke, his tone seemed to be complaining.

Hughes quickly apologized: "It's my fault, too many things have happened recently."

"It's okay." Lewis smiled gently, "Recently there have been a lot of things." After speaking, Lewis asked again: "You openly cut ties with the Liu family...Aren't you afraid that the company's people will be unstable?"

"In fact, as early as when I went to Ainia, everyone in the company was talking about this. It was almost an 'open secret'. The period of really 'unstable' has long passed. Now only It's just talking," Hughes explained to Lewis, "so you really don't have to worry about it."

"What about the lawsuit?" Lewis asked again.

"If you really want to file a lawsuit, it is even more important to disclose that I am not the son of the Liu family. I don't want to argue, so I just admit it." Hughes said, "I also made an announcement in the company, and don't call me 'Liu' in the future. "Mr. Liu", to be honest, there are enough "Mr. Liu" in this company." Hughes sneered when he thought of a lot of "royal relatives" surnamed Liu in the company.

Lewis was stunned, only to realize that Hughes' surname was no longer Liu, and he asked after a while, "Then your name is not Lucius anymore?"

"Well, yes." Lucius and "Liu Xiusi" are homophonic, and it is really not suitable to continue to use it.But in fact, Hughes has already thought about it: "Indeed. I have asked the administrative staff to print a new business card for me, and office documents and other things have to be changed accordingly. My name is 'Hughes', and my surname is 'Lambert', the English name is Zeus."

"Zeus..." Lewis smiled, "It sounds very similar to 'Zeus'."

Maybe, Hughes had thought about it a long time ago.

Lewis smiled, and asked again: "What about the cabinets in the wine cellar? There are also some old objects with engraved letters..."

The cabinets in the wine cellar of the old house were smashed by Lao Liu, and a new wine cellar was built here, and the cabinets were replaced with new ones, with "LL" written on it.Lewis also asked him at the time: "I remember that the old cabinet was engraved with Lucius Lau, how did it become an abbreviation now?" Lewis replied at the time: "Oh, it's not Lucius Lau. This is Lucius Lewis."

As for other old things, those that Hughes brought here from the old house were either related to Lambert, or related to Lewis, or related to both of them.Naturally, Hughes would not give away these old things just because they had traces of the Liu family.

"Don't change that." Hughes said, "It should be what it is."

"Then..." Lewis thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "I...can I still call you brother?"

When Hughes heard this, his heart softened, and he said softly, "Of course."

Lewis thought for a long time, then looked at Hughes with great embarrassment.Hughes caught his gaze and asked again, "What else do you want to ask?"
