Unexpectedly, Lan Xiatong didn't like her at all, so Lin Ruoran could only leave the bar depressed, but was accidentally bumped by someone when she got out of the bar, and when she realized it, her phone was gone.

"Bastard, catch the thief... catch the thief..." Lin Ruoran shouted nervously, but unfortunately no one heard it in the noisy bar, even if they heard it, no one would pay attention.

Lin Ruoran's expression was extremely ugly, it didn't matter if she had a mobile phone, mainly the photos on it, although she had already backed them up, but if it got out, she could almost foresee how she would die.

After a restless night, Lin Ruoran felt a little relieved when there was no movement until the next day. Maybe the other party was just an ordinary thief.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruoran's nerves became less tense.

……

After Lan Xiatong left the bar, his ears were finally quiet, and there was still no news from Mu Ruyi on his phone. Thinking of the address provided by the woman, his eyes were deep.

"Help me book the first flight to America tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Lan Xiatong glanced back at the bar and drove away.

The whole street is decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of the flavor of the New Year, but it makes people's hearts even colder.

Just then Lan Xiatong's cell phone rang.

"Brother, where are you?" Lan Xueyan hadn't seen Lan Xiatong lately, and sometimes no one answered the phone, so she asked excitedly when the call was connected.

This year is destined to be an uneasy new year for the Lan family.

"I'm in the car, where are you?" For his younger sister, Lan Xiatong felt a little guilty. He couldn't take Lan Xueyan's emotions into consideration for the recent accidents.

"Brother, go home later, I made delicious food." Lan Xueyan tried her best to make her voice seem cheerful.

"Okay." Lan Xiatong replied crisply.

Lan Xueyan finally showed a long-lost smile on her face.

Half an hour later, Lan Xiatong arrived home, and Lan Xueyan cheerfully helped Lan Xiatong open the door and lift her shoes, as attentively as a little daughter-in-law.

"Brother, have you been drinking?" As soon as Lan Xiatong and Lan Xueyan approached, they could smell a strong smell of alcohol. In Lan Xueyan's memory, her eldest brother almost never drank alcohol.

"It's okay." Lan Xiatong's drinking capacity is not bad, and he was a little dizzy when he was in the bar. After he came out, he blew some cold wind and woke up a lot. He might be a little dizzy, but he is very sober.

Lan Xueyan didn't talk too much, and silently helped Lan Xiatong hang up his coat.

Lan Xiatong had already walked to the dining table, looking at the sumptuous dinner on the big table, he raised his head with some doubts, "Can the two of us finish the meal?"

Lan Xueyan at the side lowered her head when she heard her brother's words, two red clouds rose on her fair face, and said reluctantly, "Brother, there will be someone later."

In the past few years, Lan Xiatong has traveled back and forth between the United States and City S, rarely staying here, and Lan Xueyan deliberately concealed it, so Lan Xiatong didn't know about her relationship with Smith.

After hearing Lan Xueyan's words, Lan Xiatong looked at Lan Xueyan inquiringly. Seeing that her sister's face was abnormal, she immediately understood what the sentence meant.

"It's still hidden very deeply." Lan Xiatong said amusedly.

"Brother..." Lan Xueyan scolded, her little face turned even redder.

Lan Xiatong's face was also stained with a smile, and he was quite curious about what kind of man could conquer his little sister who was always a man.

ding dong... ding dong...

Just then the doorbell rang, Lan Xueyan wiped the sweat from her palms, her little face was flushed, she really said Cao Cao Cao Cao would be here, this was the first time she introduced a man to her elder brother.

Lan Xueyan and Lan Xiatong lost their mother and father since they were young. It can be said that Lan Xueyan was brought up by Lan Xiatong. It is said that an elder brother is like a father, which is more appropriate for Lan Xiatong and Lan Xueyan.

"Why are you still standing there? Your lover is here, are you willing to shut yourself up outside and blow the cold wind?" Seeing Lan Xueyan in a daze, Lan Xiatong urged her jokingly.

"Brother..." Lan Xueyan was so ashamed that she almost had no place to put her face. She was a different person from the past. In order not to make herself look too weird, Lan Xueyan hurried in and applied cold water to her face before going open the door.

Smith was carrying a lot of presents. Although he knew that Lan Xueyan had no relatives, he still had to be polite, but what Smith knew better was that he and Lan Xiatong still had a tough battle to fight.

open the door.

Lan Xueyan took the things in Smith's hand roughly as usual, her voice had returned to its normal pitch, "Come in."

"What's wrong with your face?" Smith noticed that Lan Xueyan's face was flushed, and it became hotter after splashing it with cold water.

"It's nothing?" Lan Xueyan was carrying something, unable to move her hands, so she could only pretend that she didn't feel it.

"Did you have a fever? Smith stretched out his hand to touch Lan Xueyan's forehead, and it was really hot. He directly pressed his face against Lan Xueyan's, neutralizing it with one cold and one hot.

As a result, not only did Lan Xueyan not cool down, but her face became even hotter.

"Let go of me." Lan Xueyan struggled to back away, her eldest brother was still inside.

"I haven't touched your place? You have learned to be shy now?" Smith deliberately teased Lan Xueyan.

"Say it, let go." Lan Xueyan broke free, carried her things and walked inside, Smith still had a smirk on his face, but suddenly turned cold when he saw Lan Xiatong in the next second.

Lan Xiatong also turned pale.

"Brother, Chu Li, hurry up and wash your hands, let's eat!" Lan Xueyan didn't notice the change between the two of them at all, she put down her things and shouted cheerfully, but then felt something was wrong.

"By the way, this is Chu Li. I...my boyfriend, everyone calls him Smith. Chu Li is my brother, Lan Xiatong." Lan Xueyan introduced to the two.

"Hello, Brother Lan." Smith offered his hand, after all, he was the one who abducted the girl.

"Hello, Young Master Chu." Lan Xiatong stretched out his hand and shook it back. The two shook hands seemingly calmly, but it was a turbulent contest, just because Lan Xueyan's presence was not so obvious.

"Brother, do you know each other?" Lan Xueyan said excitedly, not expecting her brother to know Smith.

"Well, I know him, but not very well." Lan Xiatong smiled at Lan Xueyan.

"It's okay, we'll get to know each other in the future." Lan Xueyan didn't expect her brother to meet Smith, and she wasn't so nervous about the meeting, she went up to grab Lan Xiatong's arm, and said cheerfully.

Smith on the side was a little displeased, and he had never seen this woman be so enthusiastic about him.

"En." Lan Xiatong nodded, and gave Smith a faint look.

"Yeah, we'll be familiar with each other in the future." Smith also replied meaningfully.

"Hahaha, let's eat then." Lan Xueyan was so nervous that she didn't even smell the gunpowder between the two of them.

Lan Xiatong nodded, and Lan Xueyan happily entered the kitchen.

Smithmer was directly ignored.

After a while, Lan Xueyan also brought out the remaining hot dishes. The dishes were rich, and Lan Xueyan took out all her box-pressing skills.

"Xiaoyan, did you do it?" Smith looked at Lan Xueyan in surprise. It was the first time he had seen Lan Xueyan cooking. He was a little surprised. He always thought that Lan Xueyan could not cook.

"Of course, did you do it?" Lan Xueyan was proud.

Lan Xiatong looked at the delicate expression on her sister's face, and looked at Smith even more dangerously.

However, Smith didn't seem to feel anything at all. He swaggered and sat next to Lan Xueyan, and he was not polite at all. Since he decided to be with Lan Xueyan, he already knew that he had to pass this test. Did the boss open it back then? The real thing that moved Lan Xiatong was Mu Ruyi's relationship, but it was more or less related to his relationship with Lan Xueyan.

"Young Master Chu, have you thought about when you will marry Xiaoyan?" Lan Xiatong asked very sharply when he asked.

"As long as Xiaoyan agrees to this, it can be anytime." Smith answered impeccably, but who is Lan Xiatong? At the beginning, it is impossible for anyone who wins and loses to live in peace.

Smith is also Huangfu Lie's confidant, Lan Xiatong is a little embarrassed, after all he can see from Lan Xueyan's face that she is really in love with Smith.

"I don't know what uncle and aunt's opinion is?" Lan Xiatong heard that Smith had a fiancée who had been engaged since he was a child, that is, the baby mother in ancient times. This kind of thing may not matter in other families, but the Chu family Different, like all military and political families, the Chu family must also attach great importance to tradition and lintel.

If nothing happened to the Lan family a few months ago, then even if Lan Xueyan was not a daughter of orthodox background, she still had a strong backing. Now that the Lan family is in trouble, and it is still a political scandal, one can imagine How low is the chance of everyone accepting Lan Xueyan.

Lan Xiatong's question seemed ordinary, but it implied murderous intent.

"Of course my own marriage is up to me. I think Xiaoyan should be the one too, right?" Smith returned the question to Lan Xiatong with four or two thousand dollars.

"Naturally, Xiaoyan is an adult, and her feelings are up to her. However, if someone dares to deceive Xiaoyan's feelings, then my elder brother will not be polite." Lan Xiatong said with a smile.

"Brother, Chu Li, what are you two talking about?" Lan Xueyan was a little embarrassed to hear that, she knew that Lan Xiatong was hurting her, but she shouldn't talk like that, she felt weird in her heart, the temperature on her face just dropped up again.

"Brother, this is for your own good." When Lan Xiatong saw Lan Xueyan's appearance, he patted her on the head lovingly. He almost forgot that his sister was already 30 years old. When did the little follower who followed me change?

It is said that when the daughter brought her first boyfriend home, the father felt as if the cabbage he had worked so hard for a season had been raped by a pig.

Lan Xiatong is in this mood at the moment, even though Lan Xueyan is only his sister.

"I know..." Lan Xueyan pouted to act like a spoiled child to Lan Xiatong. Smith had never seen such a Lan Xueyan before, and the expression on that face with deep features became even more stinky.

"Hey, eat!" Lan Xueyan saw that Smith was making a face for herself, and she roughly tapped him in front of him with her chopsticks to hide her nervousness. She was really afraid that her elder brother would disagree with her and Smith's affairs.

Smith compared Lan Xueyan's attitude in front of himself and Lan Xiatong, and felt even more disappointed. Although he knew that he was only Lan Xueyan's brother, how could his woman smile at other men?Really should educate this woman well.

She looks like a little wild girl in front of herself, but she acts like a good girl in front of Lan Xiatong. The most important thing is that Lan Xiatong still looks very useful.

If he hadn't investigated Lan Xiatong secretly, even Smith would have thought that this man was handsome and upright, as beautiful as God's perfect masterpiece.

Unfortunately, no one is perfect.

"Eat more, too." Lan Xiatong brought vegetables to Lan Xueyan.

"Yeah, Xiaoyan, you've been tired and thin recently, eat more." Smith saw Lan Xiatong's actions and didn't show weakness.

After a while, Lan Xueyan's bowl was piled up like a hill, she stared at her brother and Smith dumbfounded, wondering what the two of them were doing today?

When ignoring her normally, one ignores her, so one will treat her well and the other will join in the fun?Can you stop making such a fuss?

"Okay, I'll eat it myself!" Lan Xueyan stopped her and pulled her bowl into her arms to prevent the two of them from doing it again.

Lan Xiatong gave Smith a cold look, but Smith shrugged indifferently.

So this meal was finished in a very weird atmosphere.

After dinner, Lan Xueyan wanted to see Smith off but was blocked by Lan Xiatong, "Young Master Chu and I have something to say, you go and clean up the dishes."

Lan Xueyan glanced at her elder brother helplessly, and was lazy again, but she went there in a weird way, and even gave Smith a wink to listen to her elder brother.

Smith pretended not to see, and looked up, Lan Xueyan was very helpless.

After leaving the community, Lan Xiatong stopped.

"I remember that Young Master Chu should have a fiancée?" Lan Xiatong cut straight to the point.

"I'm serious about Xiaoyan." Smith didn't directly answer Lan Xiatong's words.

"So what? Can Young Master Chu guarantee that your seriousness can make Xiaoyan happy? If not, I suggest that Young Master Chu's subordinates be lenient and let my sister go." Lan Xiatong is not easy to fool.

"Hehe... Since it is the woman I have identified, I will naturally be responsible for his happiness." Smith did not show any weakness.

"Then I hope Young Master Chu didn't just talk about it. As far as I know, Young Master Chu's fiancée should live in Chu's house, right?" Smith will investigate Lan Xiatong, and Lan Xiatong will naturally investigate Smith.

bang...

Just when Lan Xiatong finished speaking, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground shocked both of them, and they saw Lan Xueyan standing behind them in a daze. There was a clanging sound.

"Xiaoyan." Smith was the first to react, shouting Lan Xueyan's name and going up to hug him.

"Don't come here, is what my brother said true?" Lan Xueyan subconsciously took a step back, avoiding Smith's hug, looking straight at him, begging for an answer.

Looking at Lan Xueyan's painful expression, Smith never thought that the secret he had kept for so long would be known by Lan Xueyan so unexpectedly. Originally, he wanted to settle the matter by himself first.

"Tell me, is it true?" Seeing that Smith didn't speak, the pain in Lan Xueyan's eyes became clearer, but she insisted on an answer.

"Yeah." Smith nodded after all.

Lan Xueyan's tears fell out of control, she really didn't expect that she was the third party in a relationship, the third party who everyone got to punish.

"Why did you lie to me?" She should have thought that he always disappeared for no reason, could never be contacted, never introduced his family to her, and even proposed to break up with her.

It turned out that she wasn't his marriage partner at all, he didn't plan to marry him at all, did he?

Lan Xueyan only heard the last sentence, but her heart seemed to be broken.

"I..." Smith wanted to say that he didn't lie to her, he just wanted to settle the matter by himself, and give her a marriage full of blessings without hindrance, but at this moment, he found that these reasons were extremely pale.

"Let's break up!" In almost a minute, Lan Xueyan put away her fragile tears, and said coldly to Smith, her tone didn't even have the slightest room to hold back.

That's not a solicitation, it's a notification.

Smith stood there in a daze, completely unaware that the woman who was crying and clamoring to keep her would suddenly break up with him so decisively?When he broke up with him back then, he didn't think there was such a lack of room, did he?

Or Smith once thought that a girl like Lan Xueyan should break up so gracefully, but when things really happened like this, Smith felt that he couldn't accept it at all.

A deep and tough handsome face was full of unbelievable and forbearable anger.

"Say it again if you have the ability?" Smith said through gritted teeth.

"Why bother?" It was not as cold as before, but the thinness in that voice still hurt Smith.

What Lan Xueyan hated the most in this life was the third party. When her mother was pregnant with her, her father cheated on her and her mother died of dystocia. Later, her father felt guilty that her mother had an accident while driving while drunk.

Although she didn't know it when she was young, there are countless people who chewed on her ears these years, so Lan Xueyan's childhood was not good, even disgraceful. Without her brother, she could hardly imagine what she would grow up to be look.

Subconsciously, Lan Xueyan hated the third party, and at the same time gave herself a bottom line, but Smith let her break the bottom line without knowing it, how could she tolerate the other party?

It was true love to keep it, but it is really unacceptable to give it up.

"Lan Xueyan, can't you listen to my explanation?" Smith stepped forward to pull Lan Xueyan to his side, but was stopped by Lan Xiatong, who could only let Lan Xueyan look at him with grief and disappointment.

"It's getting late, Young Master Chu, please come back." Lan Xiatong said seriously.

"You..." Smith glanced at Lan Xiatong angrily, and he knew that this man was the most cunning one.

"I won't give up on Xiaoyan." Smith swore resolutely in this cold night.

"No." Lan Xiatong said coldly.

Lan Xueyan didn't look at Smith, but just stood quietly in the wind.

Smith had no choice but to turn around and leave, but it was snowing in the city, the first snow of the year.
