Chapter 233 Innocent
"Aren't you going to Xincheng?"

"Let's go tomorrow. It's almost eleven o'clock. What are you still messing around with now?"

Xu Mingyuan turned off the desk lamp and asked her to lie down aside.

"Oh……"

Xiao Yangzhi was a little girl without her own opinion, and she just did whatever Xu Mingyuan said.

Even for such an important matter as coming to Yuyang, Xiao Yangzhi kept asking questions, and it was not until Xu Mingyuan got tired of asking that he brought her here.

For some reason, the curtains in the hotel were so light-blocking that only the fluorescent numbers on the air conditioner above emitted a dim light, leaving Xu Mingyuan staring at the dark ceiling in a daze.

16 years later, it was difficult for large real estate developers across regions to operate, let alone Xu Mingyuan who lived in a remote corner.

At that time, most real estate businessmen were seeking transformation, and Xu Mingyuan, whose heavy assets were all invested in real estate, was naturally one of them.

If you want to transform, you must seek cooperation.

Xu Mingyuan's assets at the time could barely be considered high-quality, but there were hidden dangers in them that could explode.

In fact, it’s not a big deal if it explodes. It’s just a shrinkage of assets, which is not a serious problem.

What really hurt Xu Mingyuan was a business cooperation with Ruilong Group.

At that time, Xu Mingyuan was responsible for establishing the factory area, and Ruilong Group was responsible for providing equipment, and they jointly built a new electromechanical plant in Nanxi Development Zone.

But when the project was almost halfway done, Xu Mingyuan noticed something was wrong. Ruilong Group had not yet provided funds for the equipment.

When he first discovered it, Xu Mingyuan didn't take it seriously.

After all, Ruilong Group spans across ore, shipbuilding, electromechanical and other businesses, and was a large heavy industry enterprise in the 1990s. The person he cooperated with was the granddaughter of the chairman of Ruilong Group, so she should not be short of money for equipment.

However, Xu Mingyuan was still cautious and asked someone to check the unit that had signed the cooperation agreement.

The result was unexpected. After checking several companies upstream, we found that the partner was not Ruilong Group, but Ruilong Real Estate.

Although there are only two characters between the two, Ruilong Real Estate is only an affiliated company. It seems to be under the brand of Ruilong Group, but in fact it is a light asset that can be divested at will.

With more detailed investigation, Xu Mingyuan finally discovered that the chairman's granddaughter was not the apple of his eye, but an unappreciated side branch.

After seeing the clause of the right of first refusal clearly signed in the contract, Xu Mingyuan finally came to his senses.

It is true that the other party may want to build a factory, but their real purpose is to delay time until the day when Xu Mingyuan's capital chain is broken. They are planning to make money out of nothing.

When Xu Mingyuan thought about the fact that the Nanxi Investment Promotion Office had attracted such a thing, he even wanted to beat him up.

Thinking about how he had kept falling into someone else's trap, Xu Mingyuan almost vomited three liters of blood.

After that, there was a long lawsuit. Xu Mingyuan, who had paid for materials, workers and other expenses, saw his assets shrunk by nearly half.

In fact, Xu Mingyuan has also made up his mind whether Xiao Yangzhi is the bad woman.

Maybe, but maybe not.

After all, compared with the elegant, dignified and well-mannered woman she once was, the gap between the timid and pitiful little Yangzhi is really like heaven and earth.

From temperament to conversation, there is absolutely no similarity.

Even if they look very similar.

However, after hearing Xu Jun say that Yang Hongyu married a man named Xin, no matter how much Xu Mingyuan didn't want to admit it, the facts were right in front of her, and she could only be the little Yang Zhi in front of him.

It is not difficult for a liar mother to raise a liar daughter.

But will Xiao Yangzhi still lie to herself?
Xu Mingyuan thought it was absolutely impossible. After all, he had nothing two years ago and had to steal money from Xiao Yangzhi to make a living, which was very embarrassing.

However, Xu Mingyuan now also had doubts. Could it be that Yang Hongyu had already seen that he had a bright future and asked her daughter to make plans in advance?

This is too scary. You really don't want to bet so heavily, right?
There were rustling sounds.

After Xu Mingyuan pondered for a long time, there was suddenly movement in the quiet night.

Xiao Yangzhi, who was standing nearby, came over very gently, for fear of disturbing him.

Then the cold little hands were placed on his chest, and the cold little feet were placed on his ankles.

Xu Mingyuan, who was frozen, shivered subconsciously.

Suddenly, the steady breathing in the neck stopped. Xiao Yangzhi held his breath for a long time before he gasped slightly and continued the small action that he had not finished just now.

Xiao Yangzhi was lying on her side. She carefully lifted up Xu Mingyuan's arm that was in the way, passed it over her shoulder, and placed it on her back.

After finishing all this, she hugged Xu Mingyuan's little Yangzhi and finally let out a soothing and comfortable sigh.

It took almost ten minutes in total, just to get a little comfort.

Is it possible that Xiao Yangzhi, who is timid and cowardly, would lie to others?
Even if Xu Mingyuan racked his brains, he still felt it was a fantasy.

The woman who once had the right measure always had a thread in her body that Xu Mingyuan could never get.

Now he took the initiative to crawl into his bed, completely defenseless, and even needed Xu Mingyuan to drive him away. It was really unbelievable.

Her life trajectory and her thinking and psychology are no longer the same as before.

Xiao Yangzhi is just Xiao Yangzhi, it can't be anyone else.

In short, she must be innocent now.

Xu Mingyuan didn't want to think about these trivial things anymore, and subconsciously hugged the well-behaved little Yangzhi tightly.

Noticing the little girl in his arms stiffen, Xu Mingyuan quickly let go.

Now she was even more rigid, like a frightened goat, her hands and feet turned to wood.

"Why are you coming to me?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"I, I..." Yang Zhi grunted and finally said the excuse she had prepared in advance: "Brother, I'm cold..." This was not a lie, she was really cold...

"Where's the air conditioner remote control? Why did you turn it down?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"If it's too hot, you'll lift the quilt at night, and you'll catch a cold easily..."

Seeing that her brother didn't mind hugging her, Yang Zhi felt relieved, but her pounding heart showed no sign of slowing down.

This is the highest level of lying. Although you tell the truth, you don’t say the most important words.

She seemed to be born with this ability, as if the genes from her two good parents had been engraved in her bones.

Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi was so careful and sensible, Xu Mingyuan finally made a decision.

"You're going to see your mother tomorrow?"

"Brother, am I not going?" Yang Zhi asked back.

Although Yang Zhi was slow in learning things, he was very good at observing people's expressions and grasped the key points immediately.

"Do you miss her?" Xu Mingyuan asked calmly.

"I have no idea……"

Yang Zhi hesitated for a moment before giving an answer.

"What's there to not know? Do you want to or not? Just give me an answer."

“I do think so.”

Yang Zhi rubbed her body in his arms, indicating that she was nodding.

"That means you don't want to go anymore. Then don't go. I'll go and see it myself and bring it back to your Uncle Xu."

Yang Zhi was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Well, brother, I'll listen to you..."

Yang Zhi, who had no opinion of her own, finally made Xu Mingyuan give her an answer, even though she was unwilling to do so.

Xu Mingyuan knew very well that little Yangzhi must be missing her mother and wanted to go see her. After all, the person she had lived with the longest was Yang Hongyu.

"Isn't it a bit inhumane for me to not let you see your mother?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

“No…”

Yang Zhi never felt that Xu Mingyuan was unkind, she just felt a little uncomfortable.

"You said no without thinking it through?" Xu Mingyuan smiled and said, "You are just a puppet that can be manipulated by others. You don't have any ideas of your own. When you have your own opinions and can think independently, you can make your own decisions no matter what you do. Even if it's a bad thing, I won't stop you."

"Ah."

Yang Zhi responded with a confused look.

In fact, Yang Zhi felt that he had already had his own opinion, like now.

She gently moved forward, almost with half of her body lying on top of him.

But my brother said he has no opinion, so then he has none...

Reaching out and touching little Yangzhi's face, Xu Mingyuan found that she was not crying. He felt relieved. It seemed that Yang Hongyu had not come back to see her for two years and had cried all her tears away.

But I can’t say for sure what will happen tomorrow. If I don’t let Xiao Yangzhi take a look, she will definitely wipe away her tears secretly.

But letting little Yangzhi cry is better than being taken away by Yang Hongyu, right?

Xu Mingyuan always felt bad that such a well-behaved little Yang Zhi was really sent back to Yang Hongyu and taught to become a female swindler who would set up traps to cheat people in the future.

But is Xiao Yangzhi really that woman? Xu Mingyuan still has one thing he is not sure of.

"Little Yangzhi."

"Ok?"

Yang Zhi was thinking when he suddenly heard Xu Mingyuan calling him. He was stunned for a moment because he usually called him like this.

"Ask you something."

"Ah."

"Hey, behind your left leg. Ahem, right near your butt, is there a small mole there?"

Thinking of the scene when the woman emerged from the swimming pool like a lotus flower, then put on a square scarf and covered herself with it, and talked to him elegantly, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but ask.

"Ah? I, I don't know..."

Yang Zhi had never paid attention to this matter. Although the body was her own, it was impossible for her to see every part of it.

Then I frowned and wondered why my brother would ask such a question. I couldn't help wondering if he had seen it before.

Then Yang Zhi's face suddenly started to get hot. She could guess without looking in the mirror that her skin must have turned as red as liver.

"How about...I go take a look?"

Yang Zhi didn't have the courage to ask Xu Mingyuan to come and take a look, so he had to say it himself.

"Look at that shit, go to bed."

Xu Mingyuan felt that he had been with Xiao Yangzhi for too long and his brain had gone crazy, so he could ask such a question.

I simply left the culprit behind, groped in the dark for the air conditioner remote control on the bedside table, and turned up the temperature.

"..."

Yang Zhi rolled around in the bed, feeling so innocent, being kicked aside for no apparent reason...
