Xu Xuezi listened to his words and then looked at the person in front of her, who seemed entirely like a devil, "No matter what, Grandpa has raised you and trusted you so much. How could you imprison him? You’re inhuman."
Everything of the Xu family had long been under his control. Now, Grandpa was imprisoned, and her parents and younger brother were even locked up somewhere.
Now, everything in the Xu family was dictated by his word.
To outsiders, it was Grandpa who voluntarily gave up his position to let him manage the Xu family’s business, but in reality, he was just a bastard.
"Raise me?" Men Chao sneered, "If my parents were alive, would I need to stay in an orphanage, needing his hypocritical adoption?"
"Now the Xu family is already in your hands, what more do you want?"
"What more? Naturally, a life for a life."
"Men Chao, the things that happened back then were done by my grandfather and others, they have nothing to do with me. Please let me go; I promise, I will not ruin your plans." She did not want to lie in bed like a living dead.
Either give her a swift end or let her stand up.
"Don’t worry, you are still useful to me; I won’t let you die so quickly." Men Chao glanced at her and left directly.
At the door, Yin Li stepped forward, "Brother Chao, a message has come from below, saying that the Dragon King, who had disappeared for more than four years, has reappeared."
"Dragon King?" Men Chao’s eyebrows knotted together.
"Yes, the one ranked before the Wolfman."
"Find a chance to test this Dragon King’s background, if he’s willing to join us, then pull him over. If he’s unwilling to work for us, eliminate him." His heart had always been hard; one could say he was ruthless.
To seek revenge, being tenderhearted and soft was definitely not acceptable, of course, one must be ruthless.
Yin Li, watching Men Chao’s retreating figure, had another silhouette emerging in her mind. That fool, after knowing she was a fraud, must despise her thoroughly.
Men Chao had once saved her life, so, for whatever Men Chao wanted to do, she would stick with it to the end.
As for those unattainable dreams, they could only be thought of in dreams.
Looking up at the sky, she let out a bitter laugh, "Su Peng, you fool, you have to find a good woman to have a good life with."
"Has Su Xiaofeng made any moves since she returned?"
"Nothing but managing the business; she has always been a businesswoman."
"She indeed lives freely; her husband died for her, yet she left the Gu family with her children and never looked back." Speaking of ruthlessness, this Su Xiaofeng was also notably unyielding.
The family business was managed by Su Peng, so she didn’t need to worry too much.
However, Manman had called her several times, saying that there had been several disturbances recently, urging her to come back soon.
Manman was, after all, a young girl, and without any significant force behind her, she really would be helpless against a few ruthless people.
"You, taking two kids on a train by yourself?" At the train station, He Ximei looked at Xiaofeng, who had one child on her back and another in her arms, unable to bear the sight.
When she came back, Quan Sifang had assigned two people to escort her, so she wasn’t all flustered.
Now, going back, she was on her own with two kids, really a bit overwhelmed.
"Mom, it’s fine, I bought sleeper tickets. Once on the train, I’ll let them sleep. If I need to use the restroom, I’ll carry one on my back and hold the other." Xiaofeng thought of the scenario, and her lip twitched.
Having to handle two kids alone was indeed not easy, as if one needed three arms and six legs.
"You..." He Ximei listening to her, was somewhat amused and distressed, "The train has all sorts of people mixed together, be extra careful for me. Call us as soon as you get to the Imperial Capital. Both tykes just started calling me, and now you’re leaving, you can imagine how I feel."
"Mom, next time I come back, they’ll be able to run around with you, just think of that scene, and you’ll be happy, won’t you?"
Guaizi watched mother and daughters board the train, his eyes slightly moist; anyway, as long as they were all right.
The sleeper carriage, compared to a regular carriage, was naturally much quieter. Since a sleeper ticket was typically twice the price of a seat ticket, many people were reluctant to spend the extra amount and just bought seat tickets.
After finding her bunk, she threw her luggage aside, settled the kids, and Xiaofeng pulled out a book to read.
This train went directly to the Imperial Capital and would take twenty-two hours to arrive.
Yes, a full day and night.
"Mommy, water." Erbao, unable to sleep, sat up on his own and smiled at Xiaofeng, expressing his desire.
