That's what he said, but Lou Ning could tell from the other person's hand tightly gripping the steering wheel──

The words I just said have already been heard in the other party's heart.

People like Xie Feng are quite arrogant, and gentle and high-pressure methods are of no use to him. He can only ferment silently by slowly figuring it out and implanting the ideas he needs at critical moments.

It's a pity that Xie Mingzhu.

"I understand." Lou Ning had just been busy and had to deal with Xie Feng. In addition, the mental load of traveling through the city made her feel a little tired. So she just let herself lean on the back of the chair and turned to look at Xie Feng.

Say, "Thank you, brother."

Then he fell asleep.

Xie Feng ignored her and the car drove extremely smoothly. He didn't stop until he reached an antique compound on the outskirts of the capital.

He personally carried the sleeping Xie Mingzhu out of the car and looked at the little pet he had raised since he was a child. While everyone lowered their heads in fear, they made an unknown tut sound.

"...Tsk, you idiot."

...

Lou Ning was blocked in an alley with red, yellow and green hair and beaten. Although there was no major problem in the end, his physical condition was not good. In addition, he was running around in the middle, sweating and blowing, and committed suicide in front of his head.

Just get seriously ill.

During this month, there were doctor consultations and visitors coming and going in an endless stream, so Xie Feng simply pushed his assistant to Xie Mingzhu's room to take charge of the overall situation.

Lou Ning watched several dramas attentively, and gained a deeper understanding of these selfish and self-interested Xie family members who did not respect the patients at all.

"Mingzhu, there will be pre-selection within the clan soon. Have you chosen the theme of your bonsai?" A little girl was sitting by Lou Ning's bed, applying nail polish. She didn't even care that Xie Mingzhu couldn't stand the smell. She rolled her eyes and said, "An

It's the elder's sixtieth birthday, and we are all thinking about it! I wonder if the young patriarch has given you any advice?"

"But Mingzhu is good at flower bonsai. Elder An hates flowers..." The little girl on the other side covered her mouth and laughed, but as if she was afraid that Xie Mingzhu was sensitive, she immediately murmured, "Maybe Brother Feng will

Help?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. The implications are too deep. I'm ill and can't hear you clearly right now." Lou Ning buried her face in the quilt, her voice murmuring with a sickly hoarseness, "I made the previous bonsai myself.

It has nothing to do with my brother. You have seen it with your own eyes, so you shouldn’t be stupid enough to believe other people’s words.”

Xie Feng's assistant Yuan Shen was so shocked by Lou Ning's words that he almost couldn't control his expression.

Xie Mingzhu has a low self-esteem and sensitive personality. Xie Feng and others may not have noticed it, or they may not care, but their subordinates can see it clearly.

Normally, this person is soft-spoken and accepts all criticism from others. When he encounters grievances, he just swallows them with tears. How can he retaliate directly like now?

But frankly speaking, it’s quite satisfying to watch.

"I, that's not what I meant!" Xie Mingyu was confronted by Xie Mingzhu for the first time, and the delicate smile on his face almost couldn't hold back, "I mean, Elder An doesn't like flowers, and you will suffer a lot in pre-selection. If you lose, I will give you the honor."

Brother will be very disappointed."

"That's what you just meant?" Lou Ning tilted his head, his eyes that looked moist due to illness, and carefully looked at the other person's frizzy appearance, "Mingyu, tell me, how could Mingyu encourage me to cheat with my brother!

"

"Mingyu, that's not what she meant." Xie Mingliu, who was still applying nail polish leisurely, was unexpectedly pulled into the water. The bright red nail polish scratched out, making her white hands seem to have a blood stain, and she frowned, "You

It's not good to be so sensitive all the time. No wonder the more you do, the more stingy you become. If you are kicked out, you will suffer a lot!"

The Xie family makes a living from bonsai. Of course, there are some side branches that are not talented, but they use family connections to run businesses or resell trees, flowers and plants, and their lives are equally prosperous.

However, in such a case of 'unorthodox bloodline', although the Xie clan can be recognized externally, it has to be removed from the family tree─

The scope of this demarcation includes people named Xie who were voted by the elders as unsuitable for bonsai talent.

Xie Mingzhu was originally the adopted daughter of the Xie family. She relied on the halo of her direct descendant, the support of Xie Feng, and the aura of her works, so she was recorded in the family tree.

However, her condition has been extremely poor in the past two years, and the bonsai she created has fallen short of standard, which has caused many elders to criticize her. Under such circumstances, the clamor for expulsion has never subsided.

In addition, Xie Feng's attitude toward Xie Mingzhu has changed somewhat, which is equivalent to giving everyone a signal──

If Xie Mingzhu's condition continues to decline, it is very likely that Xie Feng will give up.

In other words, the resources of the direct branches have the opportunity to be released again.

"Yes, delisting is not a trivial matter. Your current status is no longer the point." Xie Mingyu heard Xie Mingliu help her stop the conversation, and nodded quickly and said, "Protecting your own identity is the biggest purpose of this preliminary election."

"Then what should I do?" Lou Ning heard that the two of them were almost ready to shake off the purpose of this time. Of course, he would not let them just tell half of it. He immediately lay back pretending to be weak and quietly thrust out his mental power.

"You all want me to find my brother, but I can also try it myself."

"You are so stupid and have no sense of beauty, so don't be embarrassed." Hearing her argument, Xie Mingyu immediately glared and said, "I have told you several times that the elders are very picky. If you don't want to be scolded, you have to

Find a way to hide your true level!"

"Mingyu!" Xie Mingliu rolled his eyes at being choked by his pig teammate. He quietly glanced at Yuan Shen, who seemed to be busy with official duties, and quickly smoothed things over and said, "Mingzhu, what Mingyu means is that you are sick now and don't have much time.

.When the time comes, you can have something to exchange, and no one will make things difficult for you."

Yuan Shen, under Xie Feng's orders, was responsible for taking care of Xie Mingzhu's health, and was not responsible for intervening in the fights between the girls.

He made the distinction very clearly. Xie Feng sent him here to prevent her from swallowing a large amount of sleeping pills before. As for finding Xie Feng's practice work to hand in as his own work...

"No need, I've already thought about what to do with the pre-selected bonsai this time." The other party saw clearly, and Lou Ning didn't mind speaking out his thoughts, "Thank you for giving me the inspiration, I will discuss it with my brother later.

of."

"No..." Xie Mingyu and Xie Mingliu were stunned when they heard her words. They didn't care about her 'thoughts', but said nervously, "We just talked about having fun, you must not follow

Brother Feng/Young Patriarch said!”

Then the two of them hurriedly ran out of the ward, as if they were being chased by some venomous snake or beast.

"Does it look good?" Lou Ning suddenly smiled at the stunned Yuan Shen and said with eyes closed, "Remember, don't tell my brother."
