"Brother Xiao?"
Just then, Xiao Chen, who had gone to buy dinner, returned. Seeing Liu Rulan arguing with several illegitimate children and their parents, she walked over with a puzzled look: "What's going on? Why is Sister Liu arguing with them?"
Xiao He coughed lightly, picking up where Xiao Chen left off, and stood up to walk over to Xiao Chen: "There was a bastard in my room just now, and he pushed Sister Liu to the ground. Sister Liu is furious right now."
Xiao Chen was immediately surprised: "My God, is Sister Liu alright?"
"Sister Liu is fine," Xiao He said, shrugging. "It's just those few illegitimate children who are going to be in trouble."
As he spoke, he took the dinner from Xiao Chen's hands, nodded to Liang Cheng, and then turned and led Xiao Chen back to his room.
Just as Xiao He was about to eat, Liu Rulan returned triumphantly.
Xiao He had already asked Xiao Chen to prepare water in advance, and Liu Rulan picked up the cup and drank all the water in one gulp.
"call--"
Liu Rulan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"how's it going?"
Xiao He asked.
Liu Rulan snorted coldly: "Then naturally they should pay the price they deserve."
Those two illegitimate children seem to have magical resistance; it doesn't matter if they can't take responsibility, they can't escape the consequences from their parents anyway.
If parents are struggling, how can they possibly have an easy life?
Liu Rulan has not been idle all these years. With a few phone calls, she can resolve any issue, especially the case of one of her illegitimate uncles, who lost his job on the spot.
It's important to understand that privacy and security are the top priorities for hotels, especially since this hotel frequently hosts celebrities and online influencers. If any issues arise, the hotel's reputation and word-of-mouth will be severely damaged.
So this unfortunate uncle was destined to become a victim of abandonment.
Moreover, a senior manager is, frankly speaking, just a high-level employee, and has no way to influence the thoughts of those above them.
Being kicked out is just a matter of what was mentioned in the previous sentence.
Meanwhile, he will also face lawsuits and accountability from the hotel, and losing his job is just the first step.
More trouble awaited him next.
It's easy to imagine how angry this uncle, who was thoroughly tricked by his niece, will be.
The internal conflicts within the family quickly became acute.
So before leaving, Liu Rulan also took the opportunity to observe a heartwarming family education session.
The girls, who were single-mindedly pursuing love, were slapped several times by their parents without any politeness. They cried and begged for mercy, while the parents' resentment and roars almost lifted the roof off. But Liu Rulan had long lost interest and simply turned around and left.
Such a minor incident is not worth her continued energy expenditure; coming back for dinner is more important.
Xiao He gave a thumbs up: "My sister Liu is amazing."
"Eat your food."
"oh."
Xiao He continued to eat, engrossed in his meal.
Liu Rulan then called Xiao Chen over and instructed him to check Xiao He's room every day before they returned. This check would also be done when they returned to the villa in Shanghai.
Don't underestimate today's stalker fans; they are a terrifying group. Although they haven't encountered such a terrifying entity yet, it's always good to take precautions...

After finishing his meal and cleaning up, Xiao He continued watching "Yu Ye" on his tablet.
The female protagonist of "Yu Ye" is named Yin Lan, and she and her younger brother Yin Qi are siblings. When they were medicine people, they were the youngest among all the medicine people. After escaping the control of the sorcerer, they lived with the other medicine people and hid their whereabouts. When they grew up, they said goodbye to the medicine people they knew and went out to explore the outside world, spending many years together.
However, everything eventually comes to an end.
Yin Qi loved to travel, establishing his own power and territory in different places, enjoying the pleasures that power and money brought. Sometimes, he would even maliciously instigate wars, then stand at crucial historical junctures, gloating as he watched certain nations perish because of his existence, and then witness new civilizations rise from the ruins...
From this perspective, it's clear that Yin Qi is somewhat pathological. He enjoys seeking thrills, retains some childlike traits, and acts solely on whims, easily bored, and only has a short attention span.
In contrast to Yin Qi, the female protagonist Yin Lan loves a stable and peaceful life. Rather than embarking on a grand adventure somewhere, she prefers to stay quietly in a corner, living a simple and ordinary life with three meals a day and four seasons.
Therefore, judging from their personalities, the two were destined to part ways at some point.
Sure enough, after one of her adventures, Yin Lan suggested ending the trip.
She said she wanted to go back to where she came from, settle down quietly, and not go anywhere else.
In the scene, Yin Qi, who appears to be middle-aged, hangs his head and remains silent. Most of his face is hidden in shadow, with only one eye visible, conveying the reluctance and pain of being about to be abandoned.
So, are you going to abandon me too?
Yin Lan covered her forehead, explaining with a headache, "I'm just tired and want to rest."
"Then I'll go back with you. Once you've rested, we can continue our journey, okay?"
"I don't want to leave." Yin Lan rarely showed a hint of annoyance.
I'm tired of my current life, tired of this long life.
"If I could, I'd actually like to be alone in a corner until my death comes—"
"No!" Yin Qi interrupted her, gripping her hand tightly. The other half of his face finally emerged from the shadows, his eyes filled with obsession and madness. "You can't leave me alone, not even in death! Didn't you promise to stay with me forever and ever?"
“We’re not children anymore, we should have our own lives now, A-Qi.” Yin Lan helplessly comforted her younger brother, who seemed to never grow up. “I’m right there. If you want to see me, you can come back anytime. I’ll always wait for you to come home.”
Yin Qi stared at Yin Lan without saying a word for a long time.
Finally, he took a step back, completely concealing his face in the shadows, and asked in a hoarse whisper, "Do I mean... forever?"
"forever."
Yin Lan answered firmly, "I will always wait for you to come back, and you will always be my only brother, Yin Lan."
Yin Qi then raised her head, her face beaming with an affectionate and warm smile: "Okay, I'll remember that, sister."
"Since it's said to be forever..."
"Then it must be forever."
"Even death cannot stop us..."
The episode ends with a scene of a little girl pulling a little boy as they run away, with flames raging behind them and other drug users fleeing in panic.
After that, Yin Qi and Yin Lan went their separate ways and started their own new lives.
Yin Lan didn't know where Yin Qi had gone, but she would receive a housewarming gift from him every time she moved. Later, with the advancement of technology and the ease of sending messages, after everyone got a mobile phone, Yin Lan would receive blessing text messages from Yin Qi using different phone numbers on holidays.
So it can be said that hundreds of years ago, they were the closest relatives. But hundreds of years later, Yin Qi knows Yin Lan inside and out, while Yin Lan knows nothing about Yin Qi and has no idea where he went or what he is doing.
So naturally, she didn't know that the story of "Yu Ye" was originally a game that Yin Qi gave to her sister.
Driven by his sister's wish for "forever," he also began to have a perverse desire for immortality, even to the point of frantically making money. He then devoted himself to scientific research, following in the footsteps of those perverted alchemists of yesteryear, conducting research on himself and even on his fellow drug users.
With the arrival of a new era, more and more technological advancements have been unlocked, and finally, a researcher discovered the secret ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) to the immortality of those who could use medicine—
