Li Xinze pulled out a rose and offered it to Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu quickly took it, sniffed it and said, “It’s so fragrant.” It was so frickin’ fragrant.

  Li Xinze: …


  Li Xinze ordered two steaks, and the two of them ate quietly, as they sat facing each other. From time to time, Ning Shu would glance at Li Xinze. When she saw that Li Xinze was about to speak, Ning Shu took the initiative to say, “How did you deal with Long Shuangshuang’s matter?”


  “How else would I deal with it?” Li Xinze put down his knife and fork and wiped his mouth. “I just needed to say a few words to Long Shuangshuang’s father, and now Long Shuangshuang isn’t able to cause trouble anymore.”


  Ning Shu nodded. Recently, no one had been following her. In addition, now that school had started, those shady people wouldn’t be able to enter school grounds that easily.

  Li Xinze looked at Ning Shu, pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, but Ning Shu interrupted him again, “What if Long Shuangshuang finds other people?”


  “She can’t. For the sake of the cooperation between our companies, Boss Long won’t let her willfully make trouble. Besides, Long Shuangshuang wants to inherit the Long family, so she won’t be so foolish. She still has more than a dozen older brothers who all want to inherit the Long family.”


  “More than a dozen older brothers?” Ning Shu was a little surprised.

  Li Xinze said indifferently, “That’s just the number of older brothers. There are still many younger brothers below her. Boss Long has many mistresses.”


  “Every one of his children has the right to inherit the business. It all depends on who has the greatest ability,” said Li Xinze flatly.

  Boss Long was really capable at having kids. He had a huge pile of illegitimate kids.

  It seemed that in the original storyline, Long Shuangshuang had won the right to the Long Family in the end. She had the assistance of Yang Yuhui, someone whose luck could soar all the way into the sky. Naturally, as Yang Yuhui’s woman, Long Shuangshuang also had a lot of luck.

  Now, Yang Yuhui couldn’t even take care of himself, so there was no way he could pay attention to Long Shuangshuang, who was caught up in the struggle for the Long family.

  “Since they won’t come find me, I can rest assured.” Ning Shu let out a long sigh of relief.

  “Um, Jianan, I think…”


  “Ning Shu, Yang Yuhui is nearby,” 2333’s voice sounded in Ning Shu’s mind.

  Ning Shu quickly stood up, and said to Li Xinze, “I have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”


  “Jianan, wait, hey…” shouted Li Xinze discreetly.

  “I’ll be back soon.” Ning Shu turned around and ran out of the restaurant, as she asked 2333, “Which direction should I go?”


  “Go forward and turn left,” said 2333. “Hurry up.”


  Ning Shu hurriedly ran in the direction indicated by 2333, took off her high heels and rushed over there.

  Ning Shu hurriedly caught up with Yang Yuhui who was ahead. Yang Yuhui was sitting in a wheelchair as he entered a neighborhood.

  Due to Yang Yuhui’s mobility difficulties, he rented a house on the first floor. He rolled his wheelchair into the house with great difficulty.

  Just opening a door used up a lot of his energy. Although his hands were no longer swollen, he was still very weak and half of his body was still a little numb.

  Yang Yuhui didn’t dare to appear in front of anyone right now. He even hated himself for being like this. He didn’t dare to see other people’s reactions at all.

  The contempt, the strange looks.

  Not everyone could bear the sense of loss that came from falling from grace.

  Yang Yuhui even wanted to kill himself. His mouth filled up with drool every time he spoke, his hands were powerless, and half his body was paralyzed due to the stroke.

  He took the money he got from selling the house to go abroad for medical treatment, but there was no cure. His symptoms hadn’t eased at all. Rather, he had spent nearly all of the money he got from selling the house already.

  Yang Yuhui watched his money flow out in huge torrents. Every day he took pills labelled in English. The urine in the toilet had a strong medicinal smell, and even his sweat smelled like medicines.
