In the study room of the Lu's residence, smoke swirled, and a strong smell of smoke approached. Nicholas sat on the chair in front of the desk, smoking one cigarette after another. They hadn't seen each other for a few days. In an instant, Nicholas had aged more than ten years. One of his sons was still alive, while the other made him lose his life. No matter how good his mentality was, he wouldn't be able to withstand such a big blow. "Stop smoking. Your health is more important!" After that, Martha extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette in Nicholas's hand in the ashtray, and her eyes were full of pain. Only then did Nicholas slowly turn his head. Looking at his wife, who had lost quite a bit of her hair after not seeing her for a few days, he felt even more guilty. She patted the back of her hand gently and said, "I'm sorry to make you worry about me!" Martha pulled a stool over and sat down in front of her husband. She said softly, "Min
Mu Yan looked at the rolling mountains in front of him. They had been searching here for nearly a week, and they were only one step away from turning the whole mountain upside down. "Young Master Yan, what should we do? We've already searched the vicinity, but there's no news of our young master." A man walked up to Mu Yan and asked anxiously. However, on the other side of the mountain, in a shabby village, Mo Zixiao and Xu Yuan were sitting outside, basking in the sun. "Brother Mo, do you feel better?" He had been here for a few days. The skin on Mo Zixiao's body was almost healed, but he was weak. It was very hard for him to do it for a long time. "Still the same!" "How could this be? It doesn't make sense!" Xu Yuan clutched his head and said worriedly. She didn't know why, but she always felt very uneasy these days, especially the people in this village. She always felt that those people looked at her like prey, which made her ve
In the middle of the night, the village was exceptionally quiet. Apart from the calling of insects and birds from time to time, the barking of dogs came from time to time. "Brother Mo, can you really do it?" "Don't worry, follow me closely!" Mo Zixiao held Xu Yuan's hand and left the room quietly. He took advantage of the night to quickly walk in the direction of the forest. In the past few days, while they were not paying attention, he had almost touched the exit of the village, but all of this was done secretly. "Ah..." He tripped over something and stumbled to the ground. Mo Zixiao hurriedly pulled her up and asked, "Did you get hurt?" Suddenly, a shout came from behind. She turned her head and saw people in the village rushing in their direction with torches in their hands. "Oh no, they're coming after us!" "Let's go!" After helping Xu Yuan up, the two of them quickly walked forward. "No, Brother Mo, you go first! I
After bidding farewell to the cold winter, Caulford City welcomed the first spring of this year. There was vitality everywhere. The big trees beside the cemetery were hanging green branches, giving people a feeling of hope. But in the slender figure in the cemetery, everything was completely out of place with her. Because her heart was dead. The moment he knew that Christiano had left, he left as well. She gently touched the face on the tombstone that she used to be so familiar with, and everything in the past sounded in her ears. The man, who had promised to protect her and take her around the world, had cruelly abandoned her without warning. She hated him! "Christiano, I hate you!" After who knew how much time had passed, Adeline finally spoke these words. Beside the bushes on the other side of the cemetery, Christiano was dressed in a black suit. A pair of sunglasses covered his handsome features, and his eyes were fixed on the petite
"What's so bad about that? Besides, isn't it just a name? Besides, you're Xiaowan's friend as well as Adrian's friend. Since that's the case, you're naturally also my friend. If you're being so polite, then I'll really be angry. Furthermore, I'm very angry. At that time, you'll definitely need my help when you're together with Adrian." Lin Mengya winked at her and smiled mischievously. "But you misunderstood me. There's nothing between me and Adrian. We're just friends!" Bai Qian'er was worried that if she didn't explain it to her, it would really be a misunderstanding. Lin Che did not say anything. He just took her hand and said with a smile, "Although I don't know what happened between you two, I can see that Adrian really likes you. I know him longer than you, and I even know him better than you do. I believe you can also see that Adrian treats Xiao Wan differently, but that's in the past. When she met Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan was already married. Xiao Wan told him
"Xiaowan, this was what Christiano asked me to give you before he died!" Nicholas handed her the document in his hand. If he could, he really didn't want to do that. Looking at the document, Adeline's face turned very pale. Although he hadn't read it yet, he had already guessed what it was. "Dad, are we really going to do this?" Adeline didn't dare to accept the document because she knew that as long as she accepted it, she was destined to be removed from the Lockwood family. He stuffed the document into her hand and said slowly, "Xiaowan, Christiano has left. You are still young and your life will be very long in the future. I sincerely hope that you can find your own life." After a pause, Nicholas took out a document from another drawer and handed it to her. "This is Christiano's manor in the suburbs. It's his personal property. It has been transferred to your name." Adeline picked up the document with trembling hands and opened it. He saw th
She didn't know how long she had slept, but when she woke up, she was already in her bedroom. Looking at the familiar room, she finally found a sense of security in her uneasy heart. No! Didn't she fall into the bottom with Mo Zixiao? And... She tried hard to recall the scene at that time, but no matter what she thought, everything that had happened before was like a meteor streaking across the sky. There was nothing at all. "Yiyi, you're finally awake. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?" A gentle voice brought her thoughts back. When she saw the person coming, the corners of her eyes became slightly moist. "Mom..." As soon as she saw her mother, her nose twitched and she lay in Mother Xu's arms, sobbing in a low voice. Mother Xu caressed her daughter's long hair gently. It had been more than a year since they last met, and her precious daughter had grown up. "Oh, what's wrong with our little princess? Has she been bullied at school?
"Stop right there!" Mother Xu stood up and looked at her sons angrily. To be honest, her sons were really excellent and filial. But when it came to marriage, these guys ran faster than rabbits. They were going to die of anger. Xu Mingyi pretended that he didn't hear anything and left the living room quickly. "You mean this child..." Looking at his back, Mother Xu was really angry and helpless. "Madam, in my opinion, you'd better relax a little. The young masters may not have met a suitable girl yet. When they meet, they will definitely bring her back for you to see!" The butler handed Mother Xu a cup of tea and comforted her. Mother Xu took the tea and took a sip. She sighed softly and said, "I did it for them, didn't I? Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law entrusted them to me before they left, hoping to see them get married one day. Now Mingyu is already 30 years old. But look, none of them wants to get married." Originally, she want
