Leo told her one by one what happened in SG while Lin Yilan was away from the United States.

She hadn't paid attention to SG for more than a year, so she really didn't expect so many things to happen.

The two people who originally thought they would divorce are not divorced now.

And it is said that the two are now a loving couple.

Thinking of Nevaeh's character, Lin Yilan had a hard time imagining that the "beautiful wife" in Leo's words would be her.

"Leo, are you sure these two are reconciled?"

Leo hesitated for a moment, but finally said what was in his heart. "Lin, I think the Dewey couple's matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The best way for you is to distance yourself from them.

William's ex-wife's family is not simple. One of SG's current major shareholders is GH, and GH has a close relationship with William and his ex-wife. It’s hard to say whether it will have an impact on your company in the future, so I suggest you carefully consider investing in GH.”

“After all, you seemed to have a good relationship with Nevaeh before. I know what happens to the couple in the future will not involve you."

Lin Yilan nodded. She also felt that Nevaeh must be planning something behind her, but she doesn't know yet.

She silently marked GH with a cross in her heart, and continued to look at TP's information.

There is nothing special to note about TP Company, but the conditions given are the most general among all investment banks.

Another thing she didn't tell Leo was the reason why she didn't want to choose TP.

LXuniverse has already planned to cooperate with Leo's law firm, and the relationship between TP and Leo's law firm is extremely close.

It would be troublesome if the company's legal affairs staff were from the other party.

Even if she cooperates, it is impossible for her to lower her vigilance.

Leo saw Lin Yilan read the TP information and talked about the FQ situation.

"Lin, I'm really curious about what kind of bad relationship you have with those people in SG."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yilan looked up and put down the information book in her hand.

Leo pointed to the name of a director of TP, "This person has a very good relationship with another shareholder of your company, Nevaeh Dewey. Before Nevaeh and Mr. Dewey got married, the two seemed to have dated for a while."

" Of course, I don’t know the specific situation. This director and I are just acquaintances. If you want to confirm their relationship, you may have to try harder elsewhere." Leo suggested a vague way.

Lin Yilan decisively abandoned TP. She propped her head and looked at HS's information.

There were so many companies, but in the end there was only one suitable company left.

Sure enough, these investment banks all seem to be interested in LXuniverse. In fact, they each have their own plans behind it.

She does not believe that GH and FQ, two companies that have connections with SG, would simply want to invest in LXuniverse.

"I have just carefully reviewed the conditions given by HS. Although they are not the most preferential treatment, they are indeed very good." Leo took HS's information and explained the situation to her. "HS is also a well-established investment bank in the United States. Their company is very large and covers many fields."

"During this period, I also heard a rumor that the current ED (executive director) of HS is very interested in the computer field. I was interested, so I contacted a large number of companies in the emerging computer-related industries. I guess it was at this time that LXuniverse came into their company's sight."

Lin Yilan did not speak, but looked at the information on the current ED of HS.

He likes to pursue emerging hot spots. During the years he led HS, HS has slowly shifted from investing in traditional industries to investing in emerging industries.

The return on investment has also far exceeded that of his predecessor. He is an investor with a very sharp vision and originality.

After turning this page, the last page left in the folder was Felix's information.

Phil, the English name of Pei Yan’s family.

Thinking of the meeting just now, she felt a little dazed for a moment.

"This Mr. Pei is from Hong Kong. Although Felix, the company he founded, is a young company, he is a popular figure on Wall Street. If he hadn't returned home to inherit the property, Wall Street financial giants would have left his name in the future. ." Leo's tone when he mentioned Pei Yan's family was more excited than the previous ones.

Lin Yilan looked up at Leo and crossed her legs with a smile, "What? Do you know him? Listening to your tone, those who didn't know would have thought he was your idol. If I remember correctly, he seems to be about the same age as you. "Okay."

Leo hesitated and nodded decisively, "Yes, I admire him very much. He is my junior, but he was very famous when he was in college."

Speaking of the Pei Yan family's glorious deeds in college, Leo is such a talker.

Lin Yilan couldn't help but cough a few times when she heard what was going on. "Let's not go off topic. I just want to know about Felix's situation."

Leo blushed for a few seconds and returned to his previous seriousness.

"Compared with the first few companies on the list, Felix has an advantage and a disadvantage, that is, its boss is from Hong Kong City. I know that many businessmen in Hong Kong City have different feelings towards you from the mainland, so among these companies Felix is ​​probably the best at negotiating.

But the biggest disadvantage is that Felix’s funds come from Hong Kong, and it will be of limited help to your LXuniverse to gain a foothold in the United States.

This is what Lin Yilan considers and worries about.

In addition, she thought the Pei Yan family was a bit strange, so she didn't put Felix on her list.

She closed the folder, "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you today. Thank you, Leo."

Leo shook his head, "You're welcome, you and I are friends now."

"Of course, you helped me I've been busy so many times and it's not too late for me to thank you." Lin Yilan put the folder into her bag.

She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and saw that it was getting late, so she stood up and prepared to leave.

By the time she returned to the house rented by Fan Changxing, it was already past dinner time.

Lin Yilan bought a sandwich from a roadside store for dinner.

When I got home, it was pitch dark, and Fan Changxing hadn't come back yet.

Lin Yilan took the opportunity to go to her room and made a simple analysis report based on the content of today's chat with Leo combined with the data.

At eight o'clock in the evening, she deliberately squatted next to the phone booth.

"Ring, ring, ring—"

As soon as the phone rang, she immediately picked up the phone.

"Hey, long time no see, Nevaeh."

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, "Long time no see, Lin."

"Okay, the old talk is over, I have something to do later, let's keep it short. You want me to check the information for you. , everything was found.”

It was still the investment bank's analysis, but this time Lin Yilan got the information from Nevaeh.

As someone who understands that eggs cannot be put in one basket, Lin Yilan found three parties to collect information.

In addition to Leo and Nevaeh, the other one is a lawyer who specializes in investigation and analysis.

Time passed bit by bit, and Lin Yilan's stay in New York became longer and longer.

Fortunately, after she finished writing the investment analysis report and submitted it to Fan Changxing, what she came to New York to do was completely completed.

"Xiao Lanlan, do you recommend accepting HS's investment?" Fan Changxing was sitting in the office. She had just finished reading the analysis report submitted by Lin Yilan.

Immediately afterwards, she took out the folder placed beside the table and handed it to Lin Yilan.

"We have a good understanding this time. Unexpectedly, we are interested in the same company."

Lin Yilan picked up the folder, which was the result of Fan Changxing's research during this period.

Unlike her, she found it by asking people everywhere, while Fan Changxing analyzed the information collected from company performance reports and public information in the stock market.

Sure enough, she just wasn't very good at this.

She has been able to accept the fact that she has almost no talent in stock trading and finance, and is even lower than ordinary people.

However, Sister Changxing looks like she is very talented.

"Then we are definitely HS?" Fan Changxing put his hands together on the desk.

Lin Yilan nodded, "Okay, the rest depends on the company's internal processes."

After Fan Changxing put the folder away, he asked her about her next plan. "Do you want me to find someone to spend a few days with you in New York?"

She shook her head. The company was so busy now, how could she still go out to play?

Moreover, I have been abroad for too long this time. I have been in New York for almost a month.

"After signing the contract with HS, I will go back."

"In less than a month, I will start school. This time when school starts, I will be a senior. Senior year is the year with the most professional courses in our department. I've been studying hard for a year."

Fan Changxing looked at her in disbelief, "Really? If a project comes to you, you will rush to it immediately."

Lin Yilan paused, her expression on her face. Still maintaining the same smile as before.

She probably won't have any projects in her senior year, and she didn't want to talk more about the domestic situation. Telling Fan Changxing would just make her worry; and abroad, once she returned to China, there would be no channels for getting information.

If Sister Changxing is not busy, she can still ask her for help. As far as the company's recent situation is concerned, Sister Changxing has been busy in the company for several days. She has the nerve to ask Sister Changxing to help her pay attention to these things.

Fortunately, there is another Qiu Xiuzhen who will contact her at some point.

Ms. Qiu probably won't break the contract... right?

-

"Bah bang bang bang -"

"Congratulations, congratulations."

"Congratulations!!"

People on the stage were shaking hands, and people in the audience were applauding.

"Wouldn't you be resigned to not being on stage?" Nevaeh clapped softly, but looked at the people next to him.

Lin Yilan didn't look back and continued to applaud, "I knew you would want to sow discord between us."

She now fully understands Nevaeh's true nature. She really likes bad jokes and is also very boring. people.

And she, Lin Yilan, is also such a person.

When others try to tease her, she will immediately fight back.

"I thought you wouldn't come over today." She turned her head and looked at Nevaeh with a half-smile.

It's a pity that both of them are shameless.

Knowing each other too well can be really boring sometimes.

Nevaeh pretended to be stupid without changing his expression, "As a shareholder of LXuniverse, HS invested in our LXuniverse, how could I not come!"

"For such an important thing, I would come even if I broke my leg."

Lin Yilan twitched her lips , too lazy to listen to her nonsense.

After completing the contract signing, it was time for Fan Changxing to speak.

Seeing her speaking from above, the people below started to move again.

Nevaeh pinched Lin Yilan's waist, "Are you really not willing to give in? We have known each other for so long, there is no need to force yourself in front of me."

Lin Yilan put her hand on Nevaeh's shoulder and squeezed hard .

"Everyone performs their duties. I don't manage the company, so why should I go up here at this time! Speaking of which, aren't you a shareholder too? Do you want to go up and give a speech? I'll find someone right now. How about that?"

Nevaeh was really afraid of her. , quickly grabbed Lin Yilan's wrist.

"Designer Lin, I surrender. Thank you for your kindness."

Lin Yilan curled her lips and smiled inwardly.

After dealing with Nevaeh so many times, will she still not know how to deal with Nevaeh's bad taste?

You must have underestimated her, Lin Yilan.

Time flies and it’s spring again.

Just as Lin Yilan guessed, she spent most of her senior year studying hard because there were no projects for her.

The only two things that are worth celebrating are that the sales of the furniture she designed in the furniture factory are getting better and better, and her income has increased a lot. The other is that LXuniverse has successfully established itself in the US market. In the first year of official operation, the company's net profit was There are hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And decided to open up the European and Asian markets this year, that is, 1983.

Oh, no, to be precise, the Asian market already has customers.

Although it seems that she is the only one, Lin Yilan.

After she received dividends from the furniture factory, she took the money to go to Hong Kong to buy two computers and successfully installed the software developed by her company.

She, Lin Yilan, became the first architectural designer in China to use computer drawing!

Although there is nothing to be thankful for, in this unremarkable past year, at least it is better than nothing.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the new year, there is a new atmosphere.

She successfully received an invitation from the organizers of the Canton Fair to participate in the interior design of this year's Canton Fair pavilion.

She was able to get this job because of the suggestion she made to the furniture factory last year - donating a batch of chairs, stools and other furniture for free to the Canton Fair as a place for merchants to rest and stay.

After this suggestion received a lot of praise last year, Lin Yilan directly served as the designer of this part of the work this year.

Don’t underestimate the design work of the rest area. After all, mosquito meat is meat.

Lin Yilan comforted herself in her heart.

"Alas -"

Xiong Zhaodi pushed the dejected Lin Yilan, "What's wrong? Xiao Lin, aren't you being blocked by the teacher from the school's Academic Affairs Office from asking for leave again?"

Lin Yilan explained with black lines on her head: "Don't worry, Sister Zhaodi, they will definitely not dare to get stuck in asking for leave this time."

How dare the school's Academic Affairs Office block the invitation letter sent by the organizer of the Canton Fair in person? !

"I just think this ordinary life now is a bit boring." She looked up at the sky and sighed deeply.

Xiong Zhaodi felt speechless towards Lin Yilan for the first time.

If she didn't have a good relationship with Xiao Lin, she would really think that Xiao Lin was showing off.

"Tomorrow, you will take the train to Guangzhou, so you won't be bored anymore." She held it in for a long time and finally comforted her.

Lin Yilan patted Xiong Zhaodi on the shoulder. Sister Zhaodi is really a good person.

She said such shameful things, but Sister Zhaodi actually comforted herself.

Early the next morning, Lin Yilan took her suitcase and got on the train to Guangzhou.

As soon as she landed, she went to the hotel to check in, took a shower and hair, and immediately went to the Canton Fair working group to report.

Compared with last year’s working group, the number of members in this year’s group has increased.

After Lin Yilan reported to the general leadership team, she went to the design team to start working.

The chief designer of the Canton Fair venue is a master who specializes in exhibition hall interior design.

Being able to work under him is also a kind of learning for her.

The busy days passed quickly.

After the final design draft was finalized, the chief designer took all members of the design team out for a big meal.

At the table, the chief designer kept praising Lin Yilan.

"Xiao Lin, you are worthy of being Mr. Wu's student. I am inferior to you in terms of your learning ability."

Lin Yilan quickly stood up to refill the tea for the boss, "You are joking, I am just a young man who has just started, how can I compare with you?" How do you compare to such a master?"

The chief designer waved his hand, "Xiao Lin, don't think I'm older, but I'm very self-aware. If I can't compare with you, I'm great, no matter how old I am. People who are good at themselves should have the courage to admit that they are inferior.

Only in this way, even if I become an old man, I can still make progress. Don't you think so?"

Lin Yilan raised the drink bottle, "You are right, I am. I want to learn from you!"

The more she interacts with powerful bosses over the years, the more she realizes that she still has many shortcomings.

No matter in terms of design level, life, or work, there is still a lot for her to improve on.

The chief designer glanced at the other people on the table and saw that everyone was chatting, so he waved to Lin Yilan.

"Xiao Lin, I've heard everything about you. Don't worry, those old gangsters won't be active for long."

"When I go back, I will help you find a solution with Mr. Wu."

His voice was very loud . It was small, but Lin Yilan felt a little warm in her heart.

It can be said that she and the chief designer just met by chance, but he was willing to worry so much about himself.

"Don't worry, I'm not anxious at all. Compared with them, my biggest advantage is that I'm young. It takes time, but they probably can't waste it on me."

She raised the corners of her mouth, raised her chin slightly, and deliberately made a proud gesture. expression.

The chief designer laughed loudly, "Girl Xiao Lin, I just like your spirit of not giving up easily."

Lin Yilan smiled shyly.

After dinner, everyone went back to their homes.

Lin Yilan did not go back to the hotel where she was staying, but called a post office.

She first called Wang Ersheng.

It has been a year since Wang Ersheng went to Hong Kong City. After his leg was re-operated in Hong Kong City, it almost returned to normal.

During this year, Wang Ersheng spent more than three months practicing.

Over the next six months, he began the work entrusted to him by Lin Yilan.

As soon as the call was connected, Lin Yilan said hello.

"Er Sheng, I'm Lin Yilan."

Wang Ersheng was very surprised, "Sister Lin, why did you think of calling me? I just happened to have something to ask you."

Lin Yilan glanced behind her, "What are you talking about? ."

Wang Ersheng reported his busy situation during this period, "I found a way to become a driver for Mrs. Liao Jingming's third house a few days ago. I heard them talking about the Liao family's big house in the car. It’s still a second bedroom, and I’m going to find someone to go to the mainland in July to find Liao Jingming’s previous children in the mainland.

I didn’t expect that Liao Jingming actually has two children in the mainland. The family of a wealthy man in this Hong Kong city must be too chaotic."

Lin Yilan said. He tightened the microphone and his voice trembled, "Then...can you confirm whether it is the Liao family's first bedroom or the second bedroom?"

Wang Ersheng shook his head, "It's hard to say. The Liao family has their own fixed rooms for the first bedroom and the second bedroom. People, only the third room is short of people because this wife is the youngest."

He looked around, then covered the phone and his mouth and whispered: "Sister Lin, let me tell you about the brother of the second room wife of the Liao family. He's just from Hong Kong City.

You told me before that Hong Kong City was in a mess, but I didn't expect them to be so messy."

Lin Yilan heard his caution, and she suppressed her nervousness and comforted Wang Ersheng.

"You have to be careful. I can't help you in the mainland. And since you have become the driver of the third wife of the Liao family, you don't have to find someone to help me collect information. No matter what you do, you have to put your own safety first." Lord. Do you know?"

She asked Wang Ersheng to help, not to die.

"Also, do you have enough money in Hong Kong City? If it costs anything to collect information, just tell me and I will find a way to transfer it to you."

Wang Ersheng scratched the back of his head. He was surprised that she was so polite. Sorry.

"Sister Lin, don't worry. I make almost 7,000 a month now, and sometimes I even get overtime pay and bonuses. The Liao family is very generous with their wages.

If you ask me, I would like to thank you. If it weren't for your help , my legs won’t heal, and I won’t be able to have such a lucrative job.”

He held the microphone and said in a very sincere voice, “Sister Lin, I’m so grateful. If you have any use for me in the future, just tell me. Tell me, I will definitely find a way to help you."

Lin Yilan smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. You need to pay attention to your own safety in Hong Kong City, and help me keep an eye on the group of people I asked you to pay attention to. That's fine."

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Yilan's family hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she looked solemn and dark.

Looking at the buttons in front of her, she pinched the microphone in her hand. Without holding the phone down, a beeping sound came out.

"Um...Comrade, do you want to make a call? The people behind are waiting to use it."

The person in charge of managing the phone at the counter came over.

Lin Yilan was interrupted from her thoughts and looked at her apologetically, "Sorry, I have to make another call."

The person managing the phone nodded, "Then make the call quickly."

After the person left, Lin Yilan pressed the phone number she wanted to call one key after another.

"Hello, who is this?"

A lazy voice came slowly from the phone.

Lin Yilan cleared her throat silently and raised a big smile, "Hello, Ms. Qiu, I am Lin Yilan."

Qiu Xiuzhen was quiet for two seconds, "Ah~ Designer Lin, long time no see, why do you suddenly think Did you call me?"

Lin Yilan said politely: "I want to ask Ms. Qiu, do you still plan to continue your previous project?"

Qiu Xiuzhen covered the phone and motioned to the people around her to leave.

"Of course, continue. I've been waiting for Designer Lin's call. I didn't expect you to call me after so long."

This statement made Lin Yilan stunned for two seconds.

Why don't you take care of your own project? Why should you let the designer take care of it?

It turned out to be an extraordinary customer from the beginning.

"Ms. Qiu, when will it be convenient for you?" Lin Yilan worked hard to cooperate with Qiu Xiuzhen.

Qiu Xiuzhen suddenly lowered her voice, "Wait a moment."

"Okay." Lin Yilan felt sorry for her money for two seconds.

She held up the microphone, afraid of missing Qiu Xiuzhen's voice.

There was just a lot of noise coming from the phone. She could hear that Qiu Xiuzhen seemed to be talking to someone, but she couldn't hear exactly what was being said.

She was not interested in other people's private affairs and secrets, but she couldn't put the phone down, and it wouldn't be good if she didn't put it down...

Fortunately, she couldn't hear what was said over there.

After listening to the noise for three minutes, Qiu Xiuzhen seemed to pick up the phone again.

Lin Yilan quickly straightened her expression and put the microphone tightly to her ear.

"Designer Lin, your university has summer vacation at the end of June, right?"

"It's almost the same. In previous years, it was summer vacation at the end of June and beginning of July." She explained the situation truthfully.

Qiu Xiuzhen's voice sounded more energetic than before, "Then you can come to Hong Kong City as soon as you have summer vacation. I will help you get the documents to prove your coming here. When you receive the documents, you can apply for a visa."

Lin Yilan didn't expect that things would progress so smoothly, and her previous depression was wiped away.

"Don't worry, I'll be here as soon as I have a holiday."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to designer Lin's new work. I have kept the American version of "Design Style" last year."

Qiu Xiuzhen was very satisfied with this answer, her voice It sounds much more pleasant.

Lin Yilan was a little stunned when she heard the name of the magazine. She had never read it herself.

"Then I'll try my best not to disappoint you."

"That's easy to say. When the time comes, I'll have a surprise to tell you when you come." Qiu Xiuzhen was obviously very happy.

Lin Yilan relaxed a lot and her tone became softer.

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, she paid the phone bill and walked to the hotel.

Sure enough, the leisurely days are short-lived. After spending half of my senior year comfortably, the remaining days will be busy again.

It's just that...the Liao family is finally about to appear...

Looking at the sun that was about to set on the horizon, Lin Yilan clenched her fists.

After finishing the design work for the Canton Fair, Lin Yilan did not stay to see the furniture factory's participation in the exhibition, but took a car to find her two "good brothers".

Speaking of which, the third and fourth brothers should really thank the teachers at their school. I don’t know what method their teacher came up with to assign these two people to work in a city.

Later, her third brother didn't know what he thought of, and transferred both of them to Shencheng.

All she can say is that her third and fourth brothers are more capable than she imagined.

She arrived at Shencheng City after passing the inspection with the border defense permit she had prepared in advance.

After getting out of the car, she immediately saw her fourth brother standing in the crowd.

Her fourth brother has become ugly...

Lin Yilan walked up to him and shouted tentatively: "Fourth brother?"

Wang Xing put his hand on her shoulder excitedly, "Xiaowu, long time no see, I miss you so much. "

It turns out that this dark and thin guy is really her fourth brother.

She put her hands into fists and covered her lips, coughing twice, "Fourth brother, I miss you too."

But I didn't expect you to become such a fourth brother.

"By the way, why didn't Third Brother come today?"

Wang Xing held her hand tightly and walked out from the crowded crowd.

"He's busy at work and can't take leave, so I'm here."

"Be careful and hold the fourth brother's hand." He turned around and told him from time to time.

I have never seen Fourth Brother with such a careful side. Lin Yilan followed behind Fourth Brother in a daze.

What had her fourth brother experienced? He had changed so much.

Could it be that he suffered a big loss?

Thinking of this, Lin Yilan suddenly felt panicked. She held her fourth brother's wrist and said, "Brother, tell me, have you been bullied?

Who bullied you? Tell me, and I will beat him up." The more she spoke, the more excited she became.

She's darkened, lost weight, and seems to have been bullied.

Her current mood was like that of a child she watched grow up and endured hardships without even realizing it.

It's so uncomfortable.

Just when old mother Lin Yilan was getting upset, Wang Xing let go of her hand.

"You girl, how come you have lost so much weight after not seeing each other for half a year? Fortunately, I just held your hand, otherwise I would be really afraid that you would be squeezed away."

He squeezed her shoulders as he spoke, "I felt that you were the best when I was a child. A girl is harder to raise than a pig. Pigs will gain weight even if they are fed. Even if you eat so many delicious things, you will not gain weight."

These words instantly calmed her down.

Lin Yilan pinched the fourth brother's cheek hard, "I'll give you one second to retract what I just said, and think carefully about who is the pig!"

Wang Xing was forced to pouted, begging for mercy, "I am, I am Yes! I'm a pig, okay."

Lin Yilan let go of her hand with a sneer, and then turned her wrist. "After working for so long, I always feel a little self-aware."

Wang Xing rubbed his cheek from time to time. He stared at her secretly, still muttering something in his mouth.

She didn't want to care what he was talking about, she just held her fourth brother's hand and continued walking out.

If this guy doesn't fight for three days, he will go to the house to uncover the tiles.

All he could do in front of her was to scold her secretly.

"Third brother, are you still working in the bank now?"

"Xiaowu, did you secretly eat something good behind my back? Why are you still so strong?"

The two of them asked the question in their hearts at the same time.

Lin Yilan glanced at Wang Xing, who trembled all over and quickly answered her question.

"The third child is in trouble now. He is now the favorite of their bank president and is very busy."

"What about you? Fourth brother, what unit are you in now?" She continued to learn about the current situation of her two brothers.

Wang Xing curled his lips, "I'm still working in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Recently, I'm helping a port city boss to cooperate with a state-owned enterprise. In a few days, I will accompany the leader to the countryside for an investigation."

"What about you? Xiao Wu, I I haven't seen your news in the newspaper for a long time, and suddenly I felt a little lonely."

She stared at Wang Xing speechlessly for a while, and then couldn't help but push his head.

"Where did you learn these words? Are you still lonely? I think you are just idle. Didn't I tell you before that you should study hard in your senior year, and you may have to go to an internship in your fifth year.

" Soon the noisy and noisy mode of getting along as before was restored.

When the third child didn't show up, Lin Yilan and the fourth child had no time to talk.

After coming out of the train station, when the two of them stood at the bus stop on the roadside waiting for the bus, Lin Yilan took the opportunity to observe the city in front of her.

As Shenzhen City develops faster, the city's construction efforts become stronger.

A large number of construction projects made the air in front of us seem to be filled with dust, and the sky turned dark yellow.

There were no fewer cars on the road than what she saw when she went to Shanghai.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the fourth brother who was in a daze. Lin Yilan had thousands of words in her mouth, but she didn't know where to start, so she had to swallow them back.

There was silence for a long time, and the bus never came.

She asked a question that everyone in the family was concerned about before coming.

"Fourth brother, do you and third brother still plan to do business?"

Wang Xing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, "Third brother, you are doing well in the bank now, why should I take a leave of absence to do business with my salary?"

"Really?" Lin Yilan's tone was full of doubt.

Wang Xing lightly hammered her shoulder, "It's not like you don't know your third brother's temper. It was my own idea to start a business, but he just wanted to follow me.

This stinks Boy, you have been following me since you were a child, and you are still like this now. How old are you?"

He took a deep breath, raised his head and slowly let it out.

"He's doing a pretty good job at the bank. I don't want him to stop working and do business with me just because he has to take care of me. So I decided to just take it slow first."

Lin Yilan gently hammered back with her backhand. "Fourth brother, if third brother knows that you call him a brat, he will definitely beat you up."

"Ha! Don't worry, Xiaowu, if third brother beats you, he won't beat me." Wang Xing said to This is very stinky.

Lin Yilan rolled her eyes, she really couldn't stand these two brothers.

She has known since she was born that her third brother and fourth brother have a good relationship.

The reason for their good relationship is said to be because the third brother was almost abducted by human traffickers, and the fourth brother fell into the river in winter to save him. Because of this incident, the fourth brother's already poor health became much weaker.

The third brother also felt that he was responsible for the fourth brother's poor health, so he always protected the fourth brother.

She was not born when this happened, so she only heard it from other people's mouths.

But she has always felt that another reason for her fourth brother's poor health was that he was severely picky about food. In an era when people couldn't even get enough to eat, her fourth brother was also a unique eccentric.

Turning to look at the somewhat sad fourth brother, she pushed him gently and said, "Fourth brother, if you want to do business, go ahead. Tell third brother clearly what you are worried about, and he will understand you. "

Both of them are thinking about each other, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

Wang Xing stared at her for a while, then jumped up and hooked Lin Yilan's shoulders.

"Little brat, why are you pretending to be serious!"

Lin Yilan bared her teeth and glared at Wang Xing, her neck was about to break. "It's your uncle, let go now."

"Isn't my uncle your uncle? I've cursed my own family members even with the curse words." Wang Xing nodded her forehead, "You little brat, don't worry about me and my family all day long. It’s your third brother’s business. At such a young age, he has no energy at all.”

She pinched the finger that the fourth brother pointed at her forehead, making her teeth itch.

But this guy is a squishy guy, and it would be bad if she breaks his fingers too hard.

"I know, please let me go quickly."

Wang Xing smiled so hard that his toothache was exposed. He rubbed her head, "I don't! I finally got the chance to touch your head, and I want to touch it more."

"Get out!" Lin Yilan almost jumped on the spot.

She pinched his cheek unwillingly and said, "I won't care about your business anymore. I'm just a puppy. Please let go of me quickly. It's really pissing me off."

"I won't! I won't! I won't !"

The two of them were just stuck in place, one's neck was about to be broken, and the other's face was about to be swollen.

"I'll count 1, 2, 3, let's let go together."

After a long stalemate, Wang Xing decided to bow his head.

He is the elder brother, and it is natural for him to give in to his younger sister.

Lin Yilan gestured, "1?"

"2, 3!"

As soon as the 3 sound came out, the two of them let go at the same time and jumped away at the same time.

While she was rubbing her neck, she was still in the mood to make a face at the fourth brother who was rubbing his face.

"Xiao Wu, you are so cruel."

Wang Xing felt that his face was completely frozen.

Both sides suffered losses, so they called for gold and retreated their troops.

After getting on the bus, Wang Xing took Lin Yilan to the house he rented with his third son.

After Lin Yilan placed her luggage, she went out to eat out with her fourth brother.

After ordering and waiting for the waiter to serve, Wang Xing was using boiling water to disinfect the dishes and chopsticks.

Watching the fourth brother's movements, Lin Yilan lowered her head and thought about the problems in her heart, but she couldn't help but look up and glance at the fourth brother.

With the continuous peeks, anyone who is not a fool can see the problem.

Wang Xing placed the hot dishes and chopsticks in front of her.

"What's wrong? If you have anything you want to ask, just say it."

"Why is a person who is usually so thick-skinned suddenly so shy?"

She held it in for a while, but still couldn't hold it back.

"Fourth brother, are you...having a relationship with third brother?"

After asking, she felt annoyed, picked up the juice next to her and drank it in big gulps.

Wang Xing was a little surprised. He shook his head, "Not yet. Why are our parents urging us to find a partner? That shouldn't be the case. Those two busy people still have time to worry about us?"

"Or, you have a partner. Already?" He looked at the little girl in front of him warily.

"Ahem...Either my parents asked me to ask you, or I'm just curious." She almost choked to death from the fourth brother's fright. She wiped her mouth with a tissue, "Also, I don't have a partner. I'm so young now. I have my own career to be busy with, so who can I find a partner for?”

Wang Xing stood up and patted her back, "Are your third and fourth brothers very old? Otherwise, why are you so idle?"

"26 is a good age. I don't want to get married and have children so soon." He muttered something.

His complaints sounded unjust to her.

Obviously...this was not the question I originally wanted to ask.

She clutched the tissue in her hand and couldn't help biting the knuckle of her index finger.

Wang Xing saw this and took a photo of her hand that was in her mouth.

"Lin Yilan, what on earth are you asking? Just say it, don't be coy."

The last time I saw this action was when my younger sister proposed to change her major.

This little movement of hers would only come out when she was particularly nervous and anxious.

Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes and spoke in an unprecedented serious tone, "Tell me! Did you do anything bad without telling us?"

Lin Yilan quickly explained: "Fourth brother, I didn't do anything bad. I study hard every day. Work hard on design."

"Then why are you so guilty?" Wang Xing didn't really believe her.

She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and asked the question she really wanted to ask.

"Fourth brother, I would like to ask, apart from that house, did your father leave anything else to you and your second sister?"

After saying these words, Lin Yilan felt that at least half of her soul had flown out.

His shoulders slumped and his waist became bent.

After all, she had never asked about the biological mother of her eldest brother and third brother, or the biological father of her second sister and fourth brother.
