The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Lu Tao went to find Xia Lin to reconcile early in the morning, but didn't see her come out of her house until noon.

The two talked for a long time, and Xia Lin was very determined to break up because Xu Zhisen had come to see her before Lu Tao did.

Xu Zhisen came to persuade Xia Lin to break up with Lu Tao. He didn't preach to Xia Lin, but just took out a medical report.

His own case report.

"Miss Xia, I'm sick, very sick, and I don't have many days left to live," Xu Zhisen said sincerely.
"I only hope that in my lifetime I can properly nurture Lu Tao and let him inherit my career."

Charlene picked up the medical report and glanced at it. Although she wasn't a medical student, she could still understand the final diagnosis.

"Uncle Xu, is there really no cure for your illness?"

“I’ve seen the best doctors in the United States,” Xu Zhisen said frankly. “The doctors said I only have three to six months left to live.”

Xia Lin felt some sympathy for Xu Zhisen upon hearing this.

“Miss Xia, I know my request is a bit excessive, but I really don’t have much time left.” Xu Zhisen took out a bottle of medicine and took two pills in front of Xia Lin.

Xia Lin quickly handed the water glass to Xu Zhisen.

"Thank you." Xu Zhisen took a sip of water and smiled. "Miss Xia, I know you are a good girl and you truly love Lu Tao."

But Lu Tao's entire focus is on you right now, so I really can't train him."

Xia Lin said with a gentle look in her eyes, "Actually, I broke up with Lu Tao yesterday."

Xu Zhisen was not surprised at all and continued, "I know Lu Tao; he won't give up on you."

Charlene frowned and asked, "Uncle Xu, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Zhisen said, "I heard Lu Tao mention that you want to study in France. I can provide you with the tuition fees."

Charlene firmly refused, saying, "I can't take your money."

Xu Zhisen laughed and said, "Don't misunderstand, this money is a loan to you. Consider it an interest-free loan, and you will have to pay it back in the future."

Charlene's expression softened a bit.

Xu Zhisen continued, "Miss Xia, I only need six months. After I die, whether you want to return to China to rekindle your relationship with Lu Tao or continue your studies abroad, I cannot stop you."

Charlene lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

Xu Zhisen pleaded, "Miss Xia, I just want to spend more time with Lu Tao before I die, and pass on everything I know to my son. Please understand my good intentions as a father."

Charlene was moved and said, "Okay! I promise you."

Xu Zhisen was overjoyed and said, "Miss Xia, please write down my bank account number and I will transfer the money immediately."

Charlene said, "I'll write you an IOU, and I will definitely pay you back."

Xu Zhisen smiled and said, "I believe in Miss Xia's character."

The two parties reached a deal, so when Lu Tao came to see Xia Lin, Xia Lin firmly refused him and told him that she would be studying in France and would not be back for several years.

Lu Tao was very disappointed, feeling that Xia Lin had completely abandoned him. He became very depressed and went home to drink alone, not leaving the house for several days.

At this moment, Xu Zhisen stepped forward again to comfort Lu Tao.

“Lu Tao, you don’t need to be sad or upset for a woman like Xia Lin.”

"What did you say?" Lu Tao exclaimed excitedly, "I won't allow you to slander Xia Lin."

Xu Zhisen sighed, sat down next to Lu Tao, and said, "Actually, there are some things I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

Lu Tao was taken aback, put down the wine bottle, and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Xu Zhisen said seriously, "Actually, I talked a lot with Mr. Xu from the nightclub that day, about Xia Lin."

Lu Tao asked excitedly, "What happened to Xia Lin? Is that President Xu going to cause trouble for her again?"

Xu Zhisen said, "Actually, Xia Lin isn't as innocent as you think. She does offer escort services at nightclubs, but the prices are quite high."

"Impossible!" Lu Tao exclaimed excitedly, his eyes wide. "Xia Lin isn't that kind of woman. She promised me she'd only accompany people for drinks, not for prostitution." Xu Zhisen sighed. "I know you don't believe me, but it's the truth. Isn't Xia Lin about to study abroad? Where would she get the money for that?"

"Uh." Lu Tao felt his throat tighten and couldn't speak.

Xu Zhisen said, "Studying abroad is expensive. With Xia Lin's income, she simply can't afford it. Her family's financial situation is also average, so it's impossible for them to give her money to study abroad."

“I heard from Mr. Xu that Xia Lin had been secretly going out with other men for a long time. If you hadn’t caused trouble at the nightclub that day, she would have left with that man long ago.”

Lu Tao was stunned, unable to accept what Xu Zhisen had said.

"No, I'm going to find Xia Lin and get to the bottom of this." Lu Tao stood up and was about to leave.

“What’s the point of you going to see her again?” Xu Zhisen advised. “She has already decided to break up with you, which means she is prepared that she can’t hide it anymore.”

Lu Tao was struck dumb and slumped down in despair.

Xu Zhisen comforted him again, "Lu Tao, don't be sad or upset over that kind of woman. It's not worth it."

You should focus on your career. Once you're successful, you can have any woman you want.

Lu Tao burst into tears, saying, "But I love Xia Lin, I really don't believe she would lie to me."

Xu Zhisen patted Lu Tao on the shoulder and then took out a stack of photos.

In the photos, Xia Lin walks into a hotel with different men, behaving intimately and smiling brightly, which makes Lu Tao feel as if a thousand swords are piercing his heart.

"Actually, I've been secretly investigating Xia Lin all this time, just in case you're being deceived by her."

Lu Tao picked up the photo with trembling hands, completely breaking down.

"Liar, big liar!" Lu Tao angrily tore up the photo.

Xu Zhisen watched Lu Tao vent his anger from the sidelines and sighed inwardly, "Lu Tao, I'm doing this all for your own good!"

The photos were obviously fake; they were all composite photos that Xu Zhisen paid someone to make. In fact, if Lu Tao had looked closely, he could have seen the unnatural parts.

Unfortunately, Lu Tao was emotionally agitated and had been drinking, so he had long lost his senses and was dragged into the trap by Xu Zhisen.

Lu Tao vented his anger for a long time, almost smashing up the house. Xu Zhisen patiently stayed by his side the whole time, like a caring father, offering comfort.

A day later, Lu Tao finally calmed down, but his eyes had completely changed, filled with ruthlessness and hatred.

"Dad," Lu Tao called out to Xu Zhisen.

"What did you call me?" Xu Zhisen asked excitedly, his lips trembling.

"Dad, thank you for being there for me," Lu Tao said gratefully. "I know I was too naive before."

Xu Zhisen comforted him, saying, "Good son."

Lu Tao said calmly, "Dad, I know you want me to go back to work at the company."

Xu Zhisen exclaimed, "You are my only son, and my company will all be yours in the future."

Lu Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Before I go back to work, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Xu Zhisen said happily, "Tell me, I'll agree to anything you say."

Lu Tao said angrily, "I want to take revenge on someone!"

"You want to get revenge on Charlene?!"

Xu Zhisen was worried that if Lu Tao contacted Xia Lin again, he would easily expose his lies.

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "I'll settle accounts with Xia Lin myself later. I want you to help me deal with someone else."

Xu Zhisen asked, "Who is it!"

Lu Tao, his hatred surging, cried out, "Gao Qiang!!" (End of Chapter)
