Ever since Xiao Yuanmu visited Xiao Lin in the hospital, his expression became much more serious.
No one can see this slight change except Song Xuanhe, but those who are close to Xiao Yuanmu can feel it.
"Song, I really want to praise you with all the beautiful words." Louis grabbed Song Xuanhe's arm with a grateful expression: "Since you came to the company, the chances of Xiao coming to work in the company have increased. The reason he comes to the company every day must be because you are willing to accompany him to work in the company, your presence has reduced my workload by at least half, you are simply an angel, and the most important thing is that I can finally have a date starting today!"
Song Xuanhe bent the corner of his mouth, pulled out his hand and said, "Congratulations."
"It's all because of you!" Louis thanked sincerely, and then casually expressed his sympathy for Song Xuanhe: "But Xiao Wei is too clingy, if you stay with him in the company every day, you should be bored Bar."
"No." Song Xuanhe said with a smile: "You forgot, I need to draw design drafts every day."
"Even so." Louis shook his head: "I also find it difficult for you to accept life without private space... Oh! I remembered that I still have a lot of work to do! You and Xiao are a perfect match! I'll go first!"
Louis hurriedly ended the topic without making any sense, and then walked away quickly without looking back.
Song Xuanhe almost didn't need to turn his head to know who the footsteps behind him were. He smiled and said, "Why is Louis so afraid of you?"
"Maybe it's because he had to cancel his date tonight." Xiao Yuanmu glanced at the direction Louis left, hugged Song Xuanhe casually, and said calmly with his chin resting on his shoulder.
"He has been working for a long time, you are just his partner and not the boss, let him take a vacation slowly, otherwise if he has been working without a break, his work efficiency will be reduced." Song Xuanhe said.
"Don't worry about him." Xiao Yuanmu didn't like to talk about other people's topics with Song Xuanhe, so he moved his chin resting on his shoulder, and when Song Xuanhe's attention returned to him again, he said: "You You also think I'm too clingy, do you want some private space?"
"I really never thought about how clingy you can be." Feeling Xiao Yuanmu's arm tightly hugging him, Song Xuanhe continued: "But I know there is a reason for this."
Xiao Yuanmu paused, let go of Song Xuanhe a little, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lin's body is worse than I imagined."
Song Xuanhe nodded slightly, listening to Xiao Yuanmu quietly.
"The Xiao family has been in chaos for the past few days. Xiao Bocong's people are trying to attack RE while agitating the support of the Xiao family and the Xiao family's affiliated families. Besides, there are many people who are messing up the water. I am worried that they will use unscrupulous means. It will hurt you, that's why I've been by your side."
Song Xuanhe was stunned for a moment, he had thought that Xiao Yuanmu's sudden tension with him was due to Xiao Lin's relationship, because Xiao Yuanmu's change only appeared after visiting Xiao Lin, so his guess was also Let nature take its course, but he didn't expect that the Xiao family had reached this level, let alone that Xiao Yuanmu gave up fighting for the right of inheritance for him, and stayed by his side all the time.
"Xiao Lin's health has always been poor. Some people can't hold back their thoughts when they don't see him. Although just jumping up and down won't affect you, I'm also worried that they will hurt you by mistake. Moreover, Xiao Bocong attacked Xiao Shenglin last time. Afterwards, he did a clean job, but I also caught the handle, and I was afraid that he would simply break the pot and take you because he was worried that I would make a fuss about it."
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Yuanmu's lowered voice was filled with a real chill, which made Song Xuanhe hold his hand tightly.
"I'll be fine." Song Xuan said softly, "Don't worry."
Seeing that Xiao Yuanmu was about to speak, Song Xuanhe interrupted him with a half-smile and said: "Besides, didn't you send four or five invisible people to follow me? There is nothing to worry about."
Xiao Yuanmu slipped his Adam's apple, looked away and said, "They are here to protect your safety."
"I know." Song Xuanhe raised his eyebrows: "Including the photos of me in your study drawer, they were also taken to ensure my safety."
Xiao Yuanmu nodded, his dark eyes were shining with light, innocent and good-looking: "Yes."
Song Xuanhe couldn't help but kissed the corner of his mouth, Xiao Yuanmu lowered his head to deepen the kiss, but Song Xuanhe raised his hand and pushed him away, saying: "You still have something to say, continue."
Xiao Yuanmu's cheerful expression just now dimmed instantly, and he said in a low voice: "I may go to the main residence of the Xiao family in the next few days. For some reasons, I can't take you with me, but it is also dangerous to let you go back to the country. So I hope you can move to live with Louis, his identity can make some people hesitate before doing things."
"Are you in danger?"
The expression on Xiao Yuanmu's face was almost visible, and he froze for a moment. After a few seconds, he tightened his jaw, lowered his eyelashes and said, "No."
"you are lying."
Such an obvious guilty look had never appeared on Xiao Yuanmu's face, Song Xuanhe frowned almost subconsciously.
"Where is the main house of the Xiao family? If it's dangerous, you don't have to go."
After saying this, both Song Xuan and himself knew how naive they were, so they pursed their lips tightly.
"In country S." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly, "I have to go."
Song Xuanhe couldn't help but frowned when he heard about country S. He always felt that he had heard about this country before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
He put aside the things he couldn't remember, and asked the question he was most concerned about: "Is the Xiao family's main house safe?"
"The main residence of the Xiao family..."
Thinking of the huge simple and solemn castle, thinking of the old people who abide by the old etiquette inside, and the servants who are far beyond the demand for solemnity and ostentation, thinking of the depression of being under surveillance all the time when living alone in it in the previous life Life.
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes darkened, and his tone was unpredictable: "That is the safest and most dangerous place."
Hearing Xiao Yuanmu's tone, Song Xuanhe suddenly remembered the Xiao family and Xiao Bocong that Xiao Shenglin had mentioned before.
He asked: "Your brother, I mean Xiao Bocong, how many people are there to help him? Will it be very dangerous after you go back? The main house in country S is the place where he grew up. But it is indeed a completely unfamiliar environment for you. You must not be as good as him when you go back to the main house, and if there are all his people there, will you... "
"I'm sure I'm not in danger."
Seeing the worry in Song Xuanhe's eyes, Xiao Yuanmu bent his lips and said: "Most of Xiao Bocong's people have followed him to the country of America, and not many of them stayed in country S, most of them are managing funds for him and managing him. The daily people in the room, the people who will go back with him this time will only be the few people who usually take care of his daily life, and these people will not pose a threat to me."
Song Xuanhe heard Xiao Yuanmu's understatement and casual remarks proved that there were at least ten people around Xiao Bocong. Thinking of the exaggerated figures Xiao Shenglin said before, he couldn't hide his curiosity and asked: "Do you know how many people are around Xiao Bocong?" ?”
"Who do you mean?"
"It's those people who stand on his side, advance and retreat with him, and must compete with you for the right to inherit."
"Countless." Xiao Yuanmu said lightly: "The only people around him who grew up with him, as well as his life assistants, bodyguards, accompanying doctors, and people who helped him manage his funds, I know The number already exceeds fifty. If you want to count the people who stand behind him and fight for power with me, you also need to add those who support him from the Xiao family and those who support him from the family that is attached to the Xiao family. , and the shareholders of the branches of the Xiao family companies, it is difficult to get accurate figures."
Hearing this, Song Xuanhe frowned: "What about your people?"
Xiao Yuanmu pondered for a while, probably thinking about it, and after about half a minute, he said: "The people in the Xiao family who really help me are no more than a handful of people, and more people who stand in line with me want to help me." It is necessary to strike a balance so that I can obtain the greatest benefit, if it is clear who is really on my side, there are three people."
Song Xuanhe: ...
This difference can be described as one day and one place.
"You..." Song Xuanhe licked his lower lip, and said with some difficulty: "Where did you come from so confident that you will be fine?"
In the book, Xiao Yuanmu also inherited the Xiao family after going through many twists and turns, but Xiao Yuanmu in the book did not have much hope for himself to inherit the Xiao family. Even at the beginning, he was unwilling to compete with Xiao Bocong. Yes, it was only a series of things that happened later that made him have to fight, and he was pushed to sit in that position.
However, the current Xiao Yuanmu, where did he get the confidence to make him feel that he would be able to inherit the Xiao family, and there would be no danger in returning to the main house of the Xiao family. From the perspective of the number of people, Xiao Bocong could be said to be crushing him.
As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth one Zhuge Liang, there are three people on Xiao Yuanmu's side, and there may be three hundred people standing on Xiao Bocong's side. They don't need three to one, and thirty to one can't beat him
Thinking of this, Song Xuanhe suddenly paused, his eyebrows frowned.
He remembered that Xiao Yuanmu in the book didn't have much ambition when he first returned to the Xiao family. It's not that he is ambitious, and even because he has a good relationship with Xiao Bocong, he has done more things to compensate Xiao Bocong, and thought that if Xiao Bocong wanted it, he would wait for a suitable time to return the position of Xiao Family Patriarch to him.
However, the current Xiao Yuanmu is determined to win the Xiao family, and is also full of hostility towards Xiao Bocong, completely opposite to the Xiao Yuanmu in the book who was not fighting or snatching at the beginning.
When I didn't think about these things together before, I didn't think it was strange, but if I connect all these points that don't match the characters in the original book into a simple node, I will find that Xiao Yuanmu and the characters in the book were actually a long time ago. The difference is already obvious.
Song Xuanhe raised his eyes and collided with Xiao Yuanmu's gaze, and the light in his eyes flickered.
