It's no wonder Ji Wangyan things. The Liang Family couple next door were deeply in love, but it was all their relatives and friends who suffered. At first, they were inseparable and deeply in love, but as time went on, their relationship became chaotic, filled with mutual suspicion. In the end, they divorced and divided their assets, which severely damaged the Liang Family.
Therefore, the person who loves you the most might be the one who hurts you the most.
Ji Wangyan still remembers that her parents divorced when she was very young due to differences in their beliefs. Although they separated amicably, young Ji Wangyan was still deeply hurt.
Although he never said it aloud, he felt that love was nothing more than a luxury—expensive and fragile.
If you don't cherish what you have, it will crack as soon as you drop it.
It will be gone after you drop it a few more times.
He was pessimistic because he knew too much and had seen too many broken and fragmented wealthy families.
"Have the young masters not had dinner yet?"
"Dad's not home, let's eat first." Ji Wangchen decided to stop thinking about it. If he couldn't protect his younger brother, then he wasn't strong enough.
In his eyes, his parents were useless and incompetent, and he was better off protecting his younger brothers himself.

Xie Zhuzhou had no idea that in just one night, his older brothers had already imagined the Ji Family going bankrupt and the whole family ending up on the streets.
He was still in the courtyard on the mountain at that moment.
The night breeze was cool.
No, he just wanted Chu Yanzhang Chu Yanzhang know his true colors, not that he was afraid of ghosts!
Only now did he realize how terrifying ancient buildings could be; if lights were turned on at night, it felt as if ghosts would come and blow them out.
By day, it's a beautiful courtyard; by night, it seems to be a dwelling place for demons and monsters.
Xie Zhuzhou regretted watching zombie movies. Now, just thinking about zombie teeth makes him afraid to go to the toilet by himself, even with the lights on! Holding in his pee is so uncomfortable now!
Was the courtyard he lived in in his past life really this terrifying?!
I hadn't seen any horror movies before, so I lacked imagination and wasn't very scared. But now...
" Little Yan, we..."
Chu Yanzhang knew that the truth had come out, but he couldn't bear to let Zhouzhou leave him. The two played chess in the courtyard, and as they played... it gradually got dark.
" Zhouzhou, do you want to go back? Brother Wen is at the door, I'll have him take you back." Chu Yanzhang and Xie Zhuzhou had already moved to the living room, and the white chess piece he was holding was gently put down.
The reason he didn't deliver it himself was because he wouldn't be able to bear Zhouzhou...
And what about you?
"I live nearby, so I can pick you up for work tomorrow morning. If you don't want to go to work, that's fine too; I'll talk to Brother Wangchen or Uncle Ji." As long as you show the right sincerity, they'll agree.
Chu Yanzhang wasn't afraid that his uncles would disagree with him being with Zhouzhou, because no one could stop Zhouzhou from doing what she wanted.
"Never mind, one shouldn't break their word." Xie Zhuzhou always kept his promises; although he might skip work, he wouldn't go back on his word.
" Zhouzhou, you're so kind."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Actually, he was just going there to slack off. Apart from his limited mobility, he could still play on his phone, so it wasn't too hard to pass the time.
Chu Little Yan is really something else, she has such a strong bias against him!
Perhaps because the topic had been changed, Xie Zhuzhou became less afraid, and his urge to urinate lessened.
Chu Yanzhang escorted Zhouzhou to the door, and only after she got into the car did he call Wu Chang.
"I heard you sold me out today?"
Wu Chang gave a guilty smile on the other end, "Selling half, not all of it."
Chu Yanzhang: "... Alright, this time I'll deduct half a year's bonus. If you do it again, I'll deduct two years' worth."
Wu Chang was silent for a few seconds on the other end, then tentatively asked in a low voice, "So you called so late just to deduct my bonus?"
Chu Yanzhang turned on his watch, opened the map, and calmly asked, "Between the Ji Family and the Liang Family Yuan Family next door, which family do you think has better feng shui?"
Wu Chang: "..." Buying again and again, no wonder Ji Wangchen can't find it, who could find it!
" The Yuan Family snakes, and I don't know where they built their nest. The Liang Family couple's divorce happened three years ago, but it still sounds unlucky. Aren't these two families too close? There's a Yu Family that's not so close; they're planning to move abroad, and several people have chosen Yu Family villa and are currently negotiating with the Yu Family."
Chu Yanzhang: "Who?"
Wu Chang once again felt incredibly fortunate, as if he had divine insight; it seemed there was still hope of getting his bonus back.
"Those surnamed Ling, Qin, and An, as you know, are all suitors of Young Master Xie. Oh, and there's also one surnamed Zhang."
"And what's the deal with the guy surnamed Zhang? Is it a coincidence or something else?"
"I don't know about that. This person is quite laid-back in the Zhang Family."
Chu Yanzhang searched his memory for a moment, "Is it Zhang Yin?"
How did you know!
Chu Yanzhang had watched Love 5 several times, so he knew Zhang Yin and was always trying to get close to Zhouzhou!
I wonder what kind of mischief this person is up to now.
"Oh right, there's also Xue Lang. He went to the same high school as Young Master Xie Young Master Xie, but was two grades ahead of him. They were even neighbors for a few years when they were kids."
Chu Yanzhang frowned slightly, turned around and went back to the courtyard. He lowered his eyes and looked at the road under his feet. As he walked, he said, "Go and investigate the Yu Family. See what difficulties they are facing and help them." Otherwise, they wouldn't have moved the whole family abroad. It's not so easy to make a comeback abroad. They just wanted to leave with some dignity.
"Good."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yanzhang's cold expression seemed to gradually warm up. He saw the message on his phone that Xie Zhuzhou home, and he slowly curled his lips into a smile, feeling as if the events of the day were a dream.
Zhouzhou is too easily swayed; she agreed to his request so readily...
Just then, a night breeze swept through, and Chu Yanzhang suddenly felt a chill in the air. Images of zombies leaping around him flashed through his mind.
"..."
