Time passed quickly like quicksand. The laughter and laughter in the manor had stopped, and the manor became quiet in the afternoon.

Chen Zihan, Han Bo'an and others seemed to just come to the manor for a walk, have a meal and then leave. After all, Ling Rulan failed to go to the manor to see Chen Zihan and others.

Ling Rulan was very unhappy. Obviously the manor could be liquidated. For so many years, her eldest brother had been using the manor and never gave her a penny. Instead, he took a lot of money from her, and now he is threatening her. She is coming. After all, they had whetted their appetites. Thinking of Ling Xi being drunk and alone in the manor, Ling Rulan couldn't let go and drove to the manor.

She wanted to know what kind of things Ling Xi had cooperated with the Gu family in recent years. Ling Rusen always used Ling Xi's identity to talk about things, which made Ling Rulan feel embarrassed and entangled.

Thinking of what happened when she was young, Ling Rulan was afraid of hatred in her heart. Otherwise, if the Ling family was greedy for the Han family's wealth, she wouldn't be suffering like this now.

Ling Rulan drove to the manor. The steward met with Ling Rulan and told Ling Rulan what he saw bit by bit. The steward said to Ling Rulan: "I heard the eldest young master and the foreign man talking. As for the manor, if the manor is well built, it can bring in a lot of money, but it’s a pity that such a large piece of land is left empty.”

Ling Rulan sighed: "I also want to make more money, but the old man just doesn't want to touch these manors, and I don't know why he leaves the manors empty. Don't worry about these things. Just watch and take care of them." That’s fine, it’s indispensable for your benefit. By the way, didn’t you see that Xiaoxi is here?”

"Ah, is Miss Xi here? I didn't see her." The steward was a little surprised. He really didn't know Ling Xi was here.

"Xiao Xi is drunk and has been running here all day and all night." Ling Rulan said helplessly.

"Did Miss Xi have a conflict with the eldest young master? It's true that the eldest young master knew that Miss Xi was in the manor, but he didn't see Miss Xi."

"I can't control the young man's affairs. I'll go over and see her. You can make some sobering soup and bring it to Xiao Xi later." Ling Rulan ordered the steward.

"Okay, then I'll take you there."

"No, I'm going to go by myself. By the way, how about the security guard my brother brought here last time? Is he still doing his job? Why didn't I see him?" Ling Rulan looked around and saw that the only person in charge could be seen in the entire manor. of a person.

"Well, they often don't come out. They just stay in their studio. They say they want to watch the surveillance and protect every flower and grass in the manor. There are so many people here today, but they don't come out." The manager complained.

"Them? Aren't they the same person?" Ling Rulan asked strangely.

"It was really just one person at first, but then that person said that the manor was too big for him to see alone, so he brought five people over, and the five people also divided the areas to be guarded." The manager said with a smile:

"Before they came, the manor looked like this, and after they came, the manor looked like this too. Who would come here to steal these flowers and plants?"

Ling Rulan felt worse and worse, she felt that her brother had been kept in the dark.

Ling Rulan quickened her pace and walked towards where Ling Xi lived.

Ling Xi had indeed drunk too much, and she was still confused until now.

When Ling Rulan opened the door to Ling Xi's room, a smell came out. Ling Rulan covered her nose in disgust, stood for a while and finally walked into Ling Xi's room.

Ling Xi was still lying on the bed, but the bed and the floor were covered in the dirty things she had vomited.

Ling Rulan was angry and distressed.

She walked to the window, pulled back the curtains, opened the window, picked up the phone, called the manager, and asked the manager to arrange for someone to take care of Ling Xi, while walking downstairs to wait for Ling Xi to wake up.

After waiting for a while, a maid came.

Ling Rulan looked at the maid and frowned and said, "Miss Xi has been together all day and night, and no one of you has taken care of her. Look what she has become."

The maid explained: "Madam, I'm really sorry, we didn't see Miss Xi coming. I will go take care of Miss Xi right away."

Ling Rulan said angrily: "She is a big living person, and she drove a car in, and you didn't even know? What do you do for food every day?"

Maid: "Ms. Xi drove here? Did she go through the back door?" Ling Rulan: "You should be able to see it even if you go through the back door?"

The maid sighed: "The security staff don't let us move anywhere, especially the back door, let alone come here. Our range of activities is in the front."

Ling Rulan glared at the maid: "You are the only one who talks a lot. Let me tell you, you are a bunch of people, and you still don't take care of Miss Xi."

Waiting for the maid to clean Ling Xi's room, she also woke up Ling Xi.

Ling Xi went downstairs and saw Ling Rulan sitting on the sofa with a gloomy look on her face.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Ling Xi was still confused.

"If I didn't come, you would probably die here." Ling Rulan said angrily.

"Auntie, don't be angry, Xiao Xi won't drink anymore." Ling Xi sat down next to Ling Rulan.

"Hurry up and wash up. I'll take you to have something to eat. You're all smelly." Ling Rulan looked at Ling Xi with disgust.

Waiting for Ling Xi to finish packing, Ling Rulan and Ling Xi walked towards the front door together.

"What have you been doing lately? And is your father busy lately?" Ling Rulan asked Ling Xi tentatively.

"What are you busy with? It's not just busy with dad's messy business. Before, the business was small and I didn't get angry. Now that the business has grown, I am controlled by others and don't even have any freedom." Ling Xi thought of Luo Meng's insults to her. , feeling very sad and wanting to tell Ling Rulan about the humiliation in her heart.

"Did the Han family treat you badly? If that's the case, I'll talk to your uncle." Ling Rulan looked at Ling Xi distressedly.

"It's not the Han family's business," Ling Xi hesitated.

"Whose business is that? Did your father make you suffer?" Ling Rulan looked at Ling Xi with concern.

"I recently had a business deal to make, and the negotiation with the buyer wasn't going well. I feel a little aggrieved." Ling Xi did not reveal what happened between her and the Gu family after all.

"I heard from your father that you will become famous after completing this deal, but is it true?" Ling Rulan asked quietly.

"It's not as if we'll achieve great success. If the Lu family is willing to help us, we still have a bright future." Ling Xi said calmly.

"Lu family? Which Lu family?" Ling Rulan asked while standing.

"And the Lu family? The Lu family in the capital." Ling Xi glanced at Ling Rulan.

"When did you get in touch with the Lu family in the capital? Who did you get in touch with?" Ling Rulan's heart was filled with confusion.

"You know, Mr. Lu Zhan, right? Everything we do has something to do with him. Don't look at that man's sanctimonious look. In fact, that's all. I've been in the Magic City for the past two days."

Ling Rulan could no longer hear clearly what Ling Xi was saying.

Ling Xi didn't notice anything wrong with Ling Rulan. She still had something to do. The deal between the Gu family and Chen Zihan was just in the past two days. She actually slept here for so long. She didn't know whether Boss Gu and Lu Zhanjun would What would she say.

After hurriedly drinking the hangover soup, Ling Xi said goodbye to Ling Rulan and hurried to see Boss Gu and Lu Zhanjun.

Ling Rulan drove back to the Han family in a daze. She couldn't sit still, so she decided to meet the man from the Lu family. However, she was a little scared.
