Beicheng, night bar.

Before it was open to the public, Huo Yanzhi stayed alone in the box.

Thick curtains blocked outside light.

The wall lamp reflected Huo Yanzhi's figure.

He was slumped on the sofa, his outline half-dark and half-brightened by shadows.

The aura around him was not as sharp as usual.

As if absorbed by the darkness.

The whole person was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

Dark factors were beating around him, constantly devouring his positive emotions.

In front of Huo Yanzhi, there was a bottle of wine.

The light reflected by the goblet was slightly dazzling, just like the childhood he didn't want to face, it was always like a thorn in his heart.

It's not fatal, but it always hurts from time to time.

Huo Yanzhi's jawline tightened.

Just as he was raising his glass to drink again, the box door was pushed open from the outside.

"I just said, second brother must be here!"

Gu Yixi's voice immediately sounded.

He suddenly appeared and showed off the wine bottle in his hand.

"Second brother, look! I bought it from my dad's wine cabinet specially for you, I..."

Before he could finish his words, he was silenced when he saw clearly the wine bottles placed on the table.

“Damn!! 1992 Royal Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon!!”

Gu Yixi was startled, and excitedly stepped forward to pick up the wine bottle and check it repeatedly: "Three million bottles of wine!! You are here alone!! Second brother, you are so uninteresting!! You...

…”

Before he could finish his words, someone slapped him on the head.

"ah……"

Gu Yixi covered the back of her head and turned around in dissatisfaction: "Fourth, why did you hit me?!"

Luo Siyan, who followed in, glanced at him.

"No one will think you are mute if you don't speak."

He said and sat down opposite Huo Yanzhi.

"That's necessary! I'm so handsome, young master. It would be a big loss if I were mute!"

Luo Siyan ignored him and just picked up the empty glass and poured wine.

Don't forget to give Huo Yanzhi a cup.

"The Mu family's party is over. Your stepmother's face has not looked good since you left."

Because of his mention, Gu Yixi remembered their purpose.

He retracted his previous reaction.

While calm, she mocked: "Of course, after all, in her opinion, the heir to the Mu Group must be her son. Now that Mrs. Mu has openly announced that she will hand over the family business to her second brother, she can laugh.

It’s weird to have to come out!”

"When someone calls her Mrs. Mu, does she really think of herself as a dish? She is just a mistress who destroys other people's families by relying on her youth and beauty! If it weren't for Uncle Mu's sake, who would take her seriously, let alone

Don’t talk about that fool Mu Jingyan..."

"His brain is even worse than mine! He still wants to inherit the Mu family's business? Will he be defeated by him in an instant? Really, can't he be as self-aware as me?"

"..." Lose was speechless.

How can you hurt yourself by scolding others?

He shook his head helplessly and just poured him wine to shut him up.

"What happened today was purely accidental. Mianmian probably didn't know about it beforehand. She was led into the trap by Mrs. Mu..."

Luo Siyan said to him: "After Lao Liu and I found out, we decided to ask you after careful consideration. Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late."

He said, sighing regretfully:

"It seems that the old lady is determined to have you return to the Mu family, and is using various methods to make your existence known to the outside world in order to tie up the relationship between you."

The conversation between the two never elicited a response from Huo Yanzhi.

Look at his dark face.

Luo Siyan took the initiative to change the topic: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's..."

Without waiting for him to bring up a new topic, Gu Yixi eagerly took advantage of every opportunity:
Chapter completed!
