Shi Xuanzhu stood in the center of the living room, the light dim and yellow, casting his shadow long and slanted. In front of Song Yun, he had always been gentle but commanding, yet at this moment, facing Father Shi, all his authority vanished instantly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun, standing to the side, felt a bit uneasy watching him.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2026Although ten minutes later, Song Yun realized his sympathy had gone to waste.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Father Shi didn\u2019t know what his son-in-law was thinking, he just looked at Shi Xuanzhu with a serious expression.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He was tall, his back straight like an old tree weathered by storms, looking aged yet still radiating an unassailable authority. His face was thin, cheekbones slightly protruding, giving him a stern appearance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cHmph, look at you now, so pathetic!\u201d Father Shi frowned as he spoke, his voice booming through the room. \u201cYou went on a variety show and created a bunch of scandals, ruined your relationship with your brother-in-law, and there are rumors of infidelity. Are you trying to ruin the little reputation our Shi family still has?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Father Shi grew more agitated as he spoke, and the cane in his hand slammed heavily against the floor. The dull \u201cbang\u201d made Shi Xuanzhu flinch.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His normally tall frame trembled slightly. He buried his head deep in his chest, the veins on his neck standing out as if he were trying to carry an invisible mountain. His hands hung limply at his sides, fingers curled like shriveled worms, gripping his pants tightly, knuckles white from exertion, completely colorless.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The honor the man desired most in life was his father\u2019s recognition. For Shi Xuanzhu, that was far from empty words, but\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu stared at the floor, avoiding his father\u2019s gaze. His eyes were full of despair, like a wild animal trapped in a snare, helpless and confused.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

By normal logic, seeing this, Song Yun should have felt pity, but\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun looked at Shi Xuanzhu, soaked by the metaphorical storm, and slowly typed a question mark.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Wasn\u2019t it a bit strange for Shi Xuanzhu to look like a fragile, bullied little flower in front of his own father?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Who would act like a helpless little flower in front of their own dad?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun\u2019s mind immediately went to lawsuits, but at this moment, Mother Shi spoke from behind the sofa.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

She was slim, wearing a neatly tailored but slightly outdated cheongsam, hair combed back to reveal a smooth forehead.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her face carried a faint smile, but it was like a thin layer of ice, her gaze conveyed an unapproachable coldness.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In a gentle voice, she said: “Xuanzhu, it\u2019s not that Mom wants to scold you, but look at what you\u2019ve done\u2014how much worry you\u2019ve caused your father.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu felt bitter as he listened. He knew how much his father had carried this family, while he smoked more expensive cigarettes than his father and still could not uphold the family\u2019s honor.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He bit his lips tightly, his lower lip bluish-white like frostbitten fruit. His waist bent slightly, his back like an overstretched old bow, ready to snap with a \u201ccrack\u201d at any moment. His body trembled like a lone boat struggling in stormy waves, isolated and without escape.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He knew his father\u2019s approval was invaluable, yet now, it seemed he was drifting further away from it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Watching the entire scene, Song Yun thought: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

A doubt slowly emerged in his mind\u2014was something wrong between Shi Xuanzhu and the Shi family?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It puzzled Song Yun why he hadn\u2019t noticed it before.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then he realized that he hadn\u2019t interacted much with the Shi family previously.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Father Shi was old-fashioned, naturally, he wouldn\u2019t speak much with his son-in-law. In his eyes, Song Yun was just Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s wife.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014There\u2019s no interaction between a father-in-law and daughter-in-law, after all.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Mother Shi was even easier to understand. Song Yun was male, Mother Shi was as old-fashioned as Father Shi, so she wouldn\u2019t interact with him much either.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018No wonder after seven years, I noticed something was off\u2026\u2019<\/i> Song Yun thought, twitching the corner of his mouth.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Meanwhile, the three people immersed in the family drama hadn\u2019t noticed him, continuing their own private performance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cDon\u2019t put on airs in front of us!\u201d Father Shi frowned, his face twisted in disgust.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cRight now, you fix this mess immediately. Don\u2019t tarnish the Shi family\u2019s name! If you can\u2019t handle it, don\u2019t think you can continue in the entertainment industry, and don\u2019t come back to this house! And your relationship with Song Yun\u2014handle it yourself. If you can\u2019t teach your partner properly, that\u2019s your incompetence!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After finishing, Father Shi slammed his cane on the ground again, the sound like a death knell echoing in Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s heart. For a moment, he felt like a forsaken crown prince, flattering the king but only earning his contempt.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He stood frozen, feet rooted to the floor. His eyes were hollow and dazed, as if his soul had been removed, leaving only a numb shell.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He instinctively looked at Song Yun, but the once gentle Song Yun, the perfect matriarchal presence, was lost in thought and offered no strength.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Father Shi grew impatient at Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s silence. \u201cEnough standing there. Hurry up and fix this. If there\u2019s another problem, just wait and see!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He glared at Shi Xuanzhu, then walked away, cane in hand. Each step\u2019s sound struck Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s heart like a hammer.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cI hope that next time I see you, all of this will be resolved. Don\u2019t disappoint me again.\u201d After speaking, Father Shi strode toward the stairs, Mother Shi following.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu remained in place, like a statue forgotten in the corner. His face was colorless, lips trembling like leaves blown by the cold wind.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After a long while, he slowly lifted his hand to wipe the tears that had silently fallen. The movement was slow and mechanical, like a puppet controlled by strings, devoid of self-awareness.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He knew he had to be like a warrior and clean up this mess. Otherwise, he would never earn his father\u2019s approval and would lose his place in the family forever.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Yet\u2026 Shi Xuanzhu glanced at Song Yun, opened his mouth, but didn\u2019t know what to say. He lowered his head again, continuing to bear the immense weight.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun watched silently, seeing Shi Xuanzhu hesitate and struggle to speak in front of his father, tears threatening to fall. \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It made him feel a little nauseous.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Then Song Yun saw Shi Xuanzhu slowly turn his head toward him with that expression in his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun once again: \u201c\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Don\u2019t look at me!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

That day, Song Yun almost gagged but forced himself not to make a sound in front of Shi Xuanzhu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun respected anyone\u2019s emotions\u2014but the prerequisite was that the person showing a sorrowful expression, like a character trapped in a grand palace in some historical drama, was not his husband of seven years.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

They said middle-aged couples could kiss and have nightmares for several nights. Song Yun hadn\u2019t reached that extreme, but having lost the rose-colored lens of early romance, he really couldn\u2019t, in good conscience, think Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s expression wasn\u2019t disgusting.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018If I did something wrong, could you just report it to the police? Please don\u2019t torture me like this\u2026\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun prayed internally. But then he realized he was wrong.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014Because at this moment, Shi Xuanzhu hadn\u2019t even used his full strength.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Wangxing, you can\u2019t imagine what I went through last night.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Looking at the despairing expression in front of him, Ye Wangxing, in the office, was completely confused. He really didn\u2019t know what Song Yun had experienced, that he would call him so early in the morning and come to his office looking utterly desperate.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After all, in the original story, Song Yun had always suffered slow, constant suppression. Shi Xuanzhu was a master in this regard, never letting Song Yun be pushed to the extreme.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But now\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dark circles ringed Song Yun\u2019s eyes, his skin looked haggard, and his gaze was full of despair.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He kept his face calm but raised his brows in confusion, while internally, he hurriedly asked 19 what had happened last night.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, after checking last night\u2019s events\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u3010\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/span>The host\u2019s situation is too complicated, I cannot generate an analysis report at this time.<\/span>\u3011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

19\u2019s voice carried confusion and puzzlement\u2014a sensation rarely expressed by a normal system.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But 19 genuinely felt perplexed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u3010<\/span><\/span><\/span>You can\u2019t even produce an analysis report? Was the situation really that tricky?<\/span>\u3011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hearing 19, Ye Wangxing furrowed his brows. His tension tightened, and the gaze he cast on Song Yun became serious.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So\u2026 what had happened to the protagonist last night to make him act like this now?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Half an hour later.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun looked as if dumping all his mental garbage finally made him feel better.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing, however, looked extremely confused, like a corporate drone realizing he had to work overtime during Chinese New Year without receiving overtime pay.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026You mean last night, your husband vented to you about his family\u2019s situation?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun nodded seriously.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWhile that seems normal, those adjectives\u2026 Are you sure he wasn\u2019t joking when he said those things?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing wanted to repeat what had been said, but he really couldn\u2019t bring himself to.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He had encountered people like this while participating in community work with his father, but those situations had been fleeting and superficial, quickly resolved on their own.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s case\u2014this was a first.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Listen to what he said!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026I would accept anyone else\u2019s cigarette, but I dare not accept my father\u2019s.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026My relationship with my father is like liquor: outwardly it looks like water, but only I know how intense the emotions truly are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026We are father and son, sovereign and minister, enemies, rivals, brothers, friends, roommates. Only when lying on the sickbed are we simply father and son.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

When Ye Wangxing heard this, his eyes went wide.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

No, you are just father and son! Why does it have to be so\u2026 complicated?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing thought for a long time but couldn\u2019t find a suitable description.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u3010<\/span><\/span><\/span>Entangled, unpredictable, full of mixed emotions, impossible to untangle\u2026<\/span>\u3011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

After receiving his host\u2019s emotions, 19 immediately reported hundreds of idioms.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing: <\/span>\u3010\u2026\u3011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u3010<\/span><\/span><\/span>It feels about right, but doesn\u2019t 19\u2019s description seem a little off?<\/span>\u3011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

19 said calmly: “It was probably because most of the words I searched for described complex feelings mixed with love and hate?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing fell silent again.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Why did this come up when you searched for their relationship?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After a long while, Ye Wangxing regained his composure and asked in shock.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThat\u2019s probably a question for Shi Xuanzhu\u2014the main system\u2019s searches had never been wrong before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing listened to 19 calm voice and at first didn\u2019t react. When he realized what 19 was hinting at, he almost jumped off the sofa.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThat can\u2019t be true, right? Shi Xuanzhu might have been a bit resentful, his words a little awkward, but it should still be within the normal range!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing said in astonishment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

19 remained silent. Ye Wangxing took his silence as tacit agreement. Although it still seemed strange why 19 would say that, Ye Wangxing didn\u2019t dwell on it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But soon enough, he almost regretted it bitterly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At that time, Ye Wangxing was still inquiring about the situation between Song Yun and Shi Xuanzhu. Later, he confirmed that Shi Xuanzhu had major problems with the Shi family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Then you should temporarily stay at my place. Shi Xuanzhu has already suppressed the trending topic online, so most likely no one will notice you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing said this calmly, which gradually eased Song Yun\u2019s mind. The disbelief in his heart temporarily faded.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThanks, Wangxing. I really don\u2019t dare to see Shi Xuanzhu right now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun sighed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He was genuinely afraid of coming home and seeing Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s resentful expression.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It made him feel as if he had stumbled into another dimension\u2014or rather, time had reversed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Because returning to that villa felt almost like going back to the Qing dynasty\u2014even more feudal.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Honestly, his parents were really incomprehensible. Your relationship with Shi Xuanzhu wasn\u2019t particularly close, and that shouldn\u2019t have been a big deal, yet his parents still scolded him for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun waved his hand tiredly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cNow I understand why Shi Xuanzhu feared his parents so much. Such parents really made one feel suffocated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018But Shi Xuanzhu seemed to enjoy it a bit.\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing silently commented in his mind.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After venting all his frustrations, Song Yun changed the topic.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cForget about them. By the way, your younger uncle hasn\u2019t been seen for a while. Has he returned to the country?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun asked casually.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cYes, he had nothing to handle here, so I let him go back to deal with some business matters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing said: “The company recently planned to shift its focus to the domestic market. After Kaizer\u2019s death, some overseas connections were cut off. Returning the center to the domestic market is the best choice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun nodded, half understanding, and asked: “So you plan to develop domestically? You won\u2019t leave?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The handsome young man nodded, as if joking, and said: “Don\u2019t talk about leaving\u2014I don\u2019t even plan to leave the country.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun smiled politely twice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Seeing that time was nearly up, the handsome young man got up to inspect the mall downstairs.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Technically, such small matters didn\u2019t require his presence, but recently, Ye Wangxing had been trending too frequently online. His triangular romance with those three was also widely known. Although the newly opened project company gained recognition, Ye Wangxing\u2019s own reputation had suffered.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Domestic stocks were stable, with others offsetting losses, but overseas stocks were risky.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

So Ye Wangxing needed to appear publicly to demonstrate his situation.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Consequently, several management staff in suits and shirts appeared in the mall. The only one in a formal three-piece suit\u2014the young man\u2014inspected the mall, followed by a photographer taking occasional pictures.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Walking among the crowd, the little cousin watched her second cousin stand out like a crane among chickens. She admired her cousin\u2019s star-like looks but didn\u2019t dare speak, fearing she might cause some embarrassing moment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

However, the little cousin didn\u2019t remain entirely quiet. She was curious about Song Yun, who followed Ye Wangxing, wondering why her elder cousin had come today\u2014he looked slightly haggard.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018Could it be something happened with the brother-in-law last night?\u2019<\/i><\/span><\/p>\r\n

The little cousin frowned, planning to ask her elder cousin. Unexpectedly, she quickly learned what had happened the previous night.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014but in a highly unwilling way.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun also felt he had bad luck today.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He awkwardly looked at the Shi family parents across the table, pouring wine for them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He hadn\u2019t expected that merely accompanying his brother to inspect the mall would make them run into the Shi parents, with Shi Xuanzhu also nearby.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But thinking about it, they had no livestream tasks today, so naturally they had time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Still, Song Yun felt embarrassed.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014the Shi parents held themselves with high posture.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Though they didn\u2019t want to appear flattering, their elevated stance made things subtly awkward.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Fortunately, it wasn\u2019t excessive and could be brushed over.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

What Song Yun didn\u2019t expect was that the Shi parents tried to interrogate them and started pushing alcohol.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This was a classic behavior at Shi family gatherings. Song Yun usually avoided their family gatherings because of this.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

But he didn\u2019t expect them to use this tactic today. Moreover\u2026<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Song Yun is a good kid. Our Xuanzhu was lucky to meet him, but the matter between the young couple is public. If it\u2019s discovered to be a misunderstanding, it would be bad.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi mother said softly to the handsome young man sitting nearby.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Meanwhile, Shi father, emboldened by wine, scolded Shi Xuanzhu.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2026Look at you, and then look at Wangxing. He\u2019s young, successful abroad, already has achievements at such a young age. Back home, his career is going well too. You need to learn from him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Song Yun watched Shi Xuanzhu, whose face mixed anger and sadness, and lowered his head silently.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2026He hoped his brother wouldn\u2019t think his taste was too unusual.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing certainly didn\u2019t think Song Yun had unusual taste.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014He was just shocked by Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s expression and the complex emotion in his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing finally understood everything.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

While 19 was building a personality model, he heard his host weakly say: \u201c\u202619, I knew avoiding mental oppression from parents this time was Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s parents\u2019 doing, but I really didn\u2019t know I would face such a situation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Ye Wangxing said in an almost desperate tone.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThey just casually abstracted it, already beyond my reach.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The next second, a sharp explosive sound rang out.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cHow could a human express feelings toward their father like this!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

While Ye Wangxing and 19 spoke, the atmosphere on-site became tense.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It wasn\u2019t that the Shi parents targeted Ye Wangxing\u2014they didn\u2019t have that thought.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Offending this kind of \u201cfortune god\u201d? That would be insane.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Most of the time, the Shi parents lavished attention on Ye Wangxing and tried to build a good relationship.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Unfortunately, the handsome young man didn\u2019t give them a chance. Whether for toasts or questions, he skillfully pushed them away.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The Shi parents didn\u2019t get angry but became even more attentive. Though not flattering, from Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s perspective, it was a heartbreaking scene.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2014He still couldn\u2019t become his father\u2019s reliance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu thought sadly, looking at Ye Wangxing with a hint of resentment.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

How could he treat his father like that? By seniority, he was still an elder!<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu unconsciously clenched his chopsticks, his knuckles whitening. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze was full of dissatisfaction mixed with jealousy. He looked at Ye Wangxing, feeling a pang of bitterness.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Once, he had been highly regarded in this family, but now Ye Wangxing\u2019s presence made him seem insignificant in his father\u2019s eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

His father\u2019s attention to Ye Wangxing made Shi Xuanzhu feel like an abandoned child. He constantly questioned himself\u2014what did he do wrong?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

To gain his father\u2019s attention, he acted tirelessly, even through injuries, yet it seemed worthless to his father. He bitterly thought that all his efforts in the entertainment industry were in vain.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

He pressed his lips, the corners slightly downturned, a bitter smile on his face. He glanced at his father, noticing his gaze remained fixed on Ye Wangxing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

That eager look\u2014his father had never looked at him like that.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Shi Xuanzhu\u2019s resentment deepened, manifesting in his eyes.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The affectionate gaze made Song Yun and Ye Wangxing shiver, their skin crawling.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even the little cousin seemed to notice something wrong, eyes wide, scanning Shi Xuanzhu and his father, nearly jumping from her chair.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The next second, she immediately opened her phone to message her friends. However, the news on her screen made her scream instinctively.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201c\u2014Second brother! Your younger uncle confessed to you in the media!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Her voice shattered the already tense atmosphere, and everyone\u2019s attention instantly focused on her.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The little cousin held her phone, swallowing nervously, eyes wide in shock.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Even more shocked than her was Ye Wangxing.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The previously calm handsome young man tossed the Shi parents aside and quickly checked the news on his phone.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Others followed, and they saw a headline: \u201cThe last descendant of the Gore family announces that their inheritance will be inherited by their brother\u2019s partner!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Three seconds after seeing the headline, a gritted-teeth voice sounded beside them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cExcuse my rudeness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Everyone saw the handsome young man say briefly and dash toward the door.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u201cWill Gore! You\u2019re insane!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n
