Then, Zhang Kai raised his eyebrows and asked Xiao Rong smilingly, "Are you doing well in Gui Town?"

Xiao Rong nodded and wrote, "Yes."

"That's great. I heard from Bobo that Gu Baisheng worried about you."

Zhang Kai was careless when he spoke.

He said "Gu Baisheng".

Xiao Rong frowned and wrote to ask him, "Gu Baisheng?"

When Zhang Kai saw Xiao Rong's question on the paper, he realized that Gu Baisheng's name was Bai Shengsheng now.

He explained immediately with a smile, "Bai Shengsheng. I meant Bai Shengsheng."

Xiao Rong nodded. He felt strange when Zhang Kai addressed Bai Shengsheng as Gu Baisheng, but he didn't suspect anything.

He just thought that the name "Gu Baisheng" sounded familiar.

It seemed that he had heard it quite often.

"Try this one. It's delicious." Zhang Kai said warmly and put some Qianye Tofu into Xiao Rong's bowl, "To be honest, though Beicheng is more prosperous than Gui Town, Gui Town has better food. I've come to this bistro before and tasted the Boiled Beef. It was very delicious."

Meanwhile, the restaurateur served them the Boiled Beef.

Zhang Kai put some beef into Xiao Rong's bowl.

He suggested, "Have a try."

Xiao Rong didn't like spicy food.

He hesitated when he saw peppers in the Boiled Beef.

Zhang Kai noticed it and asked, "Don't you like spicy food?"

Xiao Rong didn't want to admit that he didn't like it, so he ate some beef.

It was so spicy.

Xiao Rong's throat was burning.

Zhang Kai liked spicy food and felt good if the food was spicy.

He didn't know that it would be too spicy for Xiao Rong.

The beef was spicy and delicious for Zhang Kai, but it was so spicy for Xiao Rong that he sweated and went red in the face.

Zhang Kai poured him some water, "Drink some water. I don't know that you can't eat spicy food."

Xiao Rong took a gulp of water and explained by writing, "I've eaten some extremely spicy food before, so I'm traumatized."

"Did you like spicy food before?"

Zhang Kai asked.

Xiao Rong's face turned pale at once. He wrote on the paper nervously, "When I was at the institute, they offered me very spicy food, so I don't like spicy food very much."

"Then don't eat it. You shouldn't try it if you don't like it. That's OK. I'm not a bully. I won't force you into eating it."

Zhang Kai asked Xiao Rong to eat it because he thought that it was delicious.

He didn't know Xiao Rong didn't like spicy food, or he wouldn't ask Xiao Rong to eat it.

At that time, Zhang Kai was a little angry, "Did they bully you when you were at the institute?"

No institute would offer a student nothing but spicy food except that the student was bullied.

And Xiao Rong was more likely to be bullied.

Xiao Rong nodded.

Zhang Kai slammed his chopsticks down on the table, "That institute is outrageous."

Xiao Rong shook his head and wrote, "It wasn't due to the institute. My sister did it."

"Xiao You?"

Zhang Kai asked.

Xiao Rong nodded.

Zhang Kai gasped, "Your family affairs."

A rich family was complicated.

Xiao You was most likely to inherit the Xiao Family.

Her brother was mute and could do nothing.

However, she still wanted to nip it in the bud.

She wanted to make things difficult for her brother.

If her brother died, it would be the best. She would be relieved then.

Zhang Kai didn't want to talk about the Xiao Family.

So, he sighed, "It's great that you left Beicheng for Gui Town."

He meant that Xiao Rong was lucky as Xiao You let Xiao Rong leave and didn't kill him in Beicheng.

Xiao Rong knew what Zhang Kai meant. He nodded and wrote, "I know."

"Then live a good life in Gui Town. I'll talk to my colleagues here. If someone bullies you, you can call the police and they'll help you."

Xiao Rong wrote to thank Zhang Kai.

Zhang Kai saw that he was very polite and said smilingly, "My pleasure. We all come from Beicheng and we should look out for each other. Try this one. It's not spicy but is also delicious."

Zhang Kai asked Xiao Rong to eat something.

Then, Xiao Rong had dinner with Zhang Kai smilingly.

...

Xiao Rong was dining with Zhang Kai in Gui Town.

And people of the Xiao Family also celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve in Beicheng. They had dinner together happily.

Xiao You looked happier as Xiao Rong had left Beicheng.

She was her father's only child as long as Xiao Rong left.

When Xiao Chengye died, she could inherit the Xiao Family.

However, Han Lu sneered when she saw that Xiao You was dutiful and was putting some food in Xiao Chengye's bowl.

Xiao Rong had left and Xiao You was more and more dutiful.

Unfortunately, Xiao Chengye was dissatisfied with her due to the previous donation to the institute.

Though Xiao Chengye was nice to Xiao You now, he didn't forget what happened.

What he cared about most was that others coveted his possessions even if they were his children.

Xiao You poured Xiao Chengye some wine.

Han Lu saw it and took away the wine glass.

Xiao You wanted to toast her father, but Han Lu took away the wine glass.

She thought that Han Lu was embarrassing her.

But Han Lu said to Xiao Chengye smilingly, "Darling, your doctor said that you shouldn't drink for the sake of your health."

"The doctor only said that dad shouldn't drink too often," Xiao You looked at Han Lu unhappily, "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve. I toast father to wish him health and longevity. Are you going to stop me?"

Xiao Chengye didn't like it when others said he couldn't have a long life.

His doctor also said that he could drink, but he had to be careful not to drink too much. Xiao Chengye could drink occasionally when he was happy.

Xiao You was to toast him and wish him longevity and health. If Han Lu stopped her stepdaughter, she meant that Xiao Chengye couldn't have a long life.

Hearing Xiao You's words, Han Lu couldn't stop her anymore.

She put down the wine glass and patted Xiao Chengye's hand, "Youyou is dutiful. You can drink some wine as long as you don't drink very often. I'll also toast you, Chengye. I wish you longevity and health just like Youyou does."

Xiao Chengye ignored the conflict between Han Lu and Xiao You.

He took the wine glass smilingly and took a sip.

Then, he put aside the wine glass.

He knew about his health.

It was true that he shouldn't drink too much. He took a sip today because he was happy.

The wine indicated that Xiao You wished him longevity and health.

He certainly wanted to drink it.

Then, Xiao You said, "Dad, the New Year's Eve Party has three sub-venues this year."

"Well, where are they?"

Xiao You said what she wanted to say in a clever way.

"They are in Gangcheng, Gui Town, and Yuncheng respectively."

Xiao Chengye smiled, "Gangcheng and Yuncheng are developing faster than Beicheng. They had sub-venues a few years ago. But Gui Town..."

Han Lu heard him mentioning Gui Town and smiled, "Gui Town can't compare with Yuncheng or Gangcheng at all."

Xiao Chengye nodded, "There are a lot of mountains in Gui Town. It's not as prosperous as Beicheng."

Hearing that Xiao Chengye sighed, Xiao You pretended that she was worried and said, "Xiao Rong is in Gui Town now. I don't know whether he lives well there."

Han Lu sneered. She knew that Xiao You would mention Xiao Rong.

Hearing Xiao You's words, Xiao Chengye lowered his eyes and said sadly with the wine glass in his hand, "That child is possessed. Beicheng is much better than Gui Town. I don't know why he decided to go to Gui Town."

Xiao You heard Xiao Chengye's words.

Her smiling eyes became indifferent.

As she expected, Xiao Chengye still cared about Xiao Rong.

She wouldn't be relieved as long as Xiao Rong was alive.

If Xiao Rong died, she could make sure that she would inherit the Xiao Family.

Xiao You licked her molars.

Han Lu looked at Xiao You and drank some wine, "Darling, I heard that people in Gui Town were brutal. Xiao Rong is in Gui Town now. If he is hurt..."

Meanwhile, she took a meaningful look at Xiao You.

Xiao You saw Han Lu looking at her.

She frowned immediately and said, "Mom, what do you mean? Are you implying that I'll hurt Xiao Rong?"

Han Lu smiled, "I'm not looking at you. Don't be so diffident. I'm just looking at the TV screen. Look, it's the sub-venue in Gui Town."

Xiao You was angry at Han Lu's meaningful words.

However, she couldn't argue with her stepmother before Xiao Chengye.

She glared at Han Lu.

Then, she looked at the TV screen.

A program at Gui Town sub-venue was playing on the TV.

It was wonderful, but Xiao You was annoyed.

She frowned and stood up as she was disgusted, "I'm going to wash my hands, dad."

Xiao Chengye nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the TV.

Han Lu also stood up when Xiao You left, "I'll bring you a blanket, Chengye."

Xiao Chengye didn't look at her.

Seeing that Xiao Chengye was obsessed with the TV, Han Lu stood up and went to the bathroom.

Han Lu opened the door of the bathroom.

She heard Xiao You making a call.

Xiao You also heard that the door was opened.

She was alert and hung up.

Xiao You turned around. Han Lu leaned against the wall smilingly and provoked Xiao You, "Are you anxious now? Are you asking someone to kill Xiao Rong in Gui Town?"
