After the fake young master left home, he discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside.

"Ah Rang!" Lan Li panicked when she saw Zhu Yan about to leave and rushed forward to stop him, but before she could touch Zhu Yan, she was pushed away by the bodyguards that Lin Shen had brought.

She rushed up not because she realized her mistake, nor because of overflowing maternal love and a sudden realization that Zhu Yan was the son she had raised for more than ten years, but for her own life of luxury.

She couldn't accept the outcome of falling from a wealthy socialite into a quagmire.

"Mr. Wen, please have some self-respect. You were the one who pushed Yan away back then, how dare you still cling to him now?" Lu Ze couldn't help but lecture Wen Lin as he passed by. "Think about it carefully. When you were in the Wen family, it was always Yan who was making sacrifices, and did any of you ever love him?"

Everyone else got into the car, leaving only Xu Zhiyuan standing outside. The tall Xu Zhiyuan, standing at 1.88 meters, approached Wen Lin step by step, scaring him into retreating.

"This is the last time, out of consideration for the more than ten years you've raised Ayan." Xu Zhiyuan reached out and, taking advantage of his natural height, straightened Wen Lin's collar. "If I see you bothering Ayan again, I'll let you experience what hell on earth is like."

Before leaving, Xu Zhiyuan gently patted Wen Lin's collar, a chilling smile on his face.

Xu Zhiyuan knew that Zhu Yan was soft-hearted and unwilling to be ruthless towards them, but he had no intention of showing any mercy to the Wen family.

"It's over, it's really all over now..." Wen Lin's legs went weak, and he took a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.

Wen Chen told Wen Lin that Zhu Yan was going back to school today. He originally thought that as long as he softened his stance and said a few nice words, Zhu Yan would come back, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yan wouldn't even look at him now.

Wen Huai quickly stepped forward to support Wen Lin, "Dad, this Zhu Yan is too heartless. He's an ungrateful wretch. Why are we still begging him? We can make a comeback on our own."

Wen Huai couldn't stand seeing his father being so subservient to Zhu Yan.

What gives him the right? What makes him so arrogant?

Wen Lin was already annoyed because Zhu Yan ignored him, and when he turned around and saw his useless eldest son who only knew how to talk, he was even more disappointed in him.

"You... if you had half his ability, I wouldn't have to be so subservient to him!" Wen Lin's chest burned with anger. He just couldn't understand how Wen Chen and Zhu Yan, who were the same age, could be so different, and then there was Wen Huai, who was a few years older but even more ignorant.

This is truly a case of Heaven wanting to destroy the Wen family!

-

In the car, Zhu Yan seemed to still be thinking about what had just happened.

Zhu Yan's car couldn't fit everyone, so the others got into the bodyguards' car. Lin Shen occasionally glanced at Zhu Yan through the rearview mirror.

Zhu Yan's tense brows and eyes silently conveyed his frustration.

"Young Master, what do you plan to do with them?" Lin Shen noticed that Zhu Yan's emotions were affected by Wen Lin and the others, and asked Zhu Yan for his thoughts.

"Let them fend for themselves."

Zhu Yan didn't want to disturb them, and hoped they wouldn't bother her life again in the future.

"Is the apartment far away?" Zhu Yan asked, trying to shake off her recent low spirits.

"It's not far, only five minutes away." Lin Shen peeked out the window at the buildings outside to confirm their location.

After giving a soft "hmm," Zhu Yan didn't say anything more.

He ran into Xie Shengan again after he arrived at the apartment.

Xie Shengan must have just arrived. He was standing at the apartment entrance, blocked by a group of bodyguards in black.

"What do you mean? Do you even know who I am before you dare to stop me?" Xie Shengan was used to being treated like royalty in the Zhu family and had never seen anyone dare to treat him like this before.

"This place has been reserved and is now private property. Please leave immediately." The bodyguard only recognized people, and since he had never seen Xie Shengan before, he was naturally very rude to him.

Seeing that these bodyguards were being unreasonable, Xie Sheng'an turned around and yelled at the people behind him, "What kind of job are you doing? Is this how you get things done?"

The person who was scolded was Liu Yi, a servant of the East Building. He was sent by the elder of the East Building to follow Xie Sheng'an, and in just half a day, he had been scolded by Xie Sheng'an no less than ten times.

Now, whenever Xie Shengan speaks to him, his body will instinctively tremble uncontrollably.

"Young Master Sheng'an, I did indeed buy an apartment here before, but I don't know why... it was taken back by someone else at a high price." Liu Yi didn't even dare to look Xie Sheng'an in the eye, and his answer was trembling.

"If you take it back, can't you just buy it back at a higher price? Do you think I'm short of money? You're so stupid, what are you good for?" Xie Shengan didn't hold back at all. He only became more furious at Liu Yi's submissive attitude.

"But they won't sell..." Liu Yi's voice trailed off.

Zhu Yan and his companions witnessed this farce from their car.

It seems Xie Shengan's androgen levels have spiked again.

Lin Shen then got out of the car and opened the door for Zhu Yan. After getting out, Zhu Yan walked slowly to Xie Sheng'an's side.

"Greetings, Young Master!" Before Zhu Yan could speak, the group of black-clad bodyguards lined up and bowed to him.

Xie Shengan slowly turned his head and found that it was Zhu Yan again. His anger surged, his face turned red, and you could see the anger about to overflow from his eyes.

"A banquet...! It's you again!"

Zhu Yan was truly innocent this time; he had no idea about this incident, let alone that Xie Shengan was also there. Otherwise, he would have found it unlucky.

"Young Master, it's like this. The Second Young Master was worried about your safety, so he specially bought the other floors next to the apartment so that he could send people to protect you." Lin Shen knew that Zhu Yan was also confused, so he stepped forward and explained to Zhu Yan in front of Xie Sheng'an.

Zhu Yan nodded, ignoring Xie Sheng'an, whose eyes were bloodshot with anger, and simply instructed Lin Shen, "Throw out any irrelevant personnel."

"Yes." Upon receiving the order, Lin Shen instructed the bodyguard beside him to lift Xie Shengan up, preparing to throw him out.

"You dare!" Xie Shengan panicked. Judging from this, they really were going to throw him out.

Lin Shen: Who cares about you?

"Young Master said, throw him out." Lin Shen deliberately watched Xie Sheng'an give the order to the bodyguards.

So the two bodyguards carried Xie Shengan out, and during the process, Xie Shengan's pig-like screams and wails could be heard.

"Are you from the East Building?" Lin Shen noticed Liu Yi, who was huddled to the side, afraid of implicating him.

Liu Yi naturally recognized Lin Shen, and bowed to him, saying, "Yes...yes."

"Go back and ask your East Tower Elder." Lin Shen's warning gaze swept over Liu Yi's entire body. "Is he feeling too comfortable in his position? He dares to provoke the young master."

Young...Young Master?

Liu Yi trembled with fright, nodded repeatedly, got into the car, and fled in a panic.

Meanwhile, Zhu Yan and the others had already entered the apartment.

"Ayan is back."

As soon as Zhu Yan entered the door, Bai Zheng, wearing an apron, stood at the entrance, smiling as she greeted him, "You must be starving, come and eat."

Looking up, the scene shifts, revealing a dining table laden with delicious food.

This time, all the dishes were ones that Zhu Yan loved to eat.

"Ayan's back? Come on, bring your classmate and sit down." Zhu Mo happened to be coming out of the kitchen with dishes when he came into his view.

The gentle, warm smile on Zhu Mo's face was something Zhu Yan had never seen on Wen Lin before.

This could have been an ordinary home-cooked meal, but it was two people in high positions who willingly cooked it themselves.

It was just a simple lunch, but they drove for more than an hour to come and cook this meal for him.

They could have been enjoying a life of luxury on the estate.

Yet they went to great lengths to come here and, upon returning home from the banquet, presented a table full of hot food.

Sometimes, happiness isn't about sitting in a luxurious villa eating delicacies; it can also be about coming home exhausted to a simple, home-cooked meal from your family.

For some reason, Zhu Yan suddenly felt that everything in front of her had become somewhat blurry...

Once, some people regarded him as worthless; now, some people cherish him like a treasure.
