For a moment, she froze on the spot.

"Why?"

Shu Yan looked at Meng Xiao blankly, puzzled.

She thought that Meng Xiao's thoughts were out of considerations that were beneficial to him, but in the end his thoughts were because of the harm she had suffered in Nancheng.

Why?

Even though the two of them had met, she had never called him father until now, and he had never mentioned the matter of acknowledging their relationship. Why was he already thinking about her from the beginning?

Although this kind of consideration is a burden for her.

Shu Yan's eyes clearly showed confusion and a hint of sadness, which made Meng Xiao's heart twitch slightly.

"No reason."

Meng Xiao said quietly and suddenly smiled.

"If I have to say why, I think Yan Xici's kid is more reliable."

"I watched that kid grow up. His character, appearance, ability, everything is speechless."

Mentioning Yan Xici, satisfaction appeared in Meng Xiao's eyes.

Although he was not very happy to marry off his daughter, but now that his daughter could not forget Su Yi, he could only take risks and let Yan Xici play his role.

The most important thing is that he can see that Yan Xici has feelings for Shu Yan.

"..."

Shu Yan's eyelids twitched when he saw Meng Xiao's old father expression.

However, she still knew the purpose of her visit this time, so she quickly calmed down and looked into Meng Xiao's eyes.

Be sincere and sincere in your words.

"I know you are doing it for my own good, but what you think is good is not what I need."

"I feel that Su Yi and I are very happy together."

What Shu Yan said was true, but Meng Xiao's eyes suddenly sank.

"happiness?"

He sneered, opened his mouth and shook out everything about Nancheng.

"Exposed online? Kidnapped? Filled with drugs? Bomb? Love rival?"

"Is the happiness you talk about just living in fear every day?"

As Meng Xiao spoke, his expression suddenly turned cold. He stared at Shu Yan with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Someone from the Su family killed your mother. Can you be happy with him?"

His momentum was overwhelming.

Shu Yan was so frightened that he took a step back, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.

Meng Xiao actually knew what she was investigating, and he also knew that she had found people from the Su family. He even knew more than she did.

Shu Yan was shocked, and the draft in his mind disappeared completely in an instant.

She didn't even know how to refute Meng Xiao.

This person is too thoughtful.

He knows so much information, but he is still here to cooperate with her in acting.

Meng Xiao seemed to know what Shu Yan was thinking. He said indifferently: "Shu Yan, I can condone your willfulness, but you have to have your own stand."

"In this world, people who have no position often die miserably."

After saying that, Meng Xiao left the restaurant, leaving Shu Yan sitting there alone, as if petrified.

She did not refute Meng Xiao, because he was right. She and Su Yi did not have a clear position. She wanted to stay away and plot, but at the same time she was entangled.

Shu Yan sat there for more than half an hour, but Meng Xiao couldn't bear it anymore and asked Yan Xici to come over and take her out for a walk.

On the soft sand.

Shu Yan's bare feet were stepping on the soft sand. She stared at the waves in the distance, hesitated for a moment and then looked at Yan Xici.

"Yan Xici, can you tell me about him?"

The man in her mouth was Meng Xiao.

Yan Xici met her eyes, hesitated, and shook his head, "I only know that my adoptive father doesn't like others to disobey him. As for the rest, I don't know much about it."

These people were out doing tasks all year round and rarely gathered together. Not to mention that Meng Xiao, who was already aloof, stayed far away from them.

As for their relationship with Meng Xiao, it can only be said that they were young and ignorant. They have been training since they were deceived by him.

He is the kind of person who is hard-spoken but soft-hearted. He scolds you so hard that you want to commit suicide, but at the same time, he secretly gives you some care.

Although Meng Xiao's care was not that obvious, it always made them grateful.

Well, maybe this is also the calculation of the people, but at least, Meng Xiao did not treat any of them badly.

"In this world, the law of survival is the law of survival. Maybe my adoptive father didn't want you to come into contact with this world, so he didn't let those people come near here."

Yan Xici thought of Meng Xiao's previous residence, and then looked at this place that could be called a paradise, and couldn't help but be moved by Meng Xiao's tenderness.

But Shu Yan would not know these things.

Shu Yan lowered his head and said nothing after listening to Yan Xici's words.

A world of the jungle?

Maybe she really doesn't understand.

"Yan Xici, can I ask you something?"

Shu Yan walked in silence for a long time before speaking again.

This time her eyes were slightly firmer, and Yan Xici knew what she wanted to say at a glance.

"Shu Yan, it's impossible for me to take you out of here privately before my adoptive father agrees."

Yan Xici rejected Shu Yan directly, with helplessness in his eyes.

"Besides, I think you can have a good experience here. After all, you rarely see such beautiful scenery in Nancheng, right?"
