I have been hiding in the center of various power vortexes over the years, and I have seen such scenes. If a man does such a thing, if he does not serve a woman, then he will only have power and money.

However, judging from his posture just now, he was protecting Yan Qingchen. It seemed that there was an agreement between him and Yan Qinghan. He promised to help Yan Qinghan, and Yan Qinghan could not hurt these people in the Xitang.

I gasped slightly and said, "Li Guo, what are you doing for?"

I could still control myself when I spoke, but obviously Mrs. Yan had already collapsed a little. She roared: "You ungrateful villain, you actually came with him to plot against us and our Yan family?"

The four words "ungrateful" are expressed as a thorn that pierced into Li Guo's heart.

I clearly saw a rift on his face, which was originally deliberately keeping a calm expression.

But Mrs. Yan obviously didn't see it. Even if she saw it, she could not extinguish the anger in her heart at this moment. She continued to curse: "I really couldn't think of it. If it weren't for the Yan family and not us, would you have today?"

“…”

"I asked you to be the butler of the Yan family and give you such great power, but you - you actually did this, and you actually joined forces with that outsider to plot against us!"

“…”

"You beast! You must die a bad death!"

Every time she cursed, Li Guo's expression became sad, but no matter how she cursed her angrily, Li Guo always lowered his head and did not argue, and even did not even have the courage to meet her eyes.

"Mother……"

When Mrs. Yan was already breathless and finally paused, Yan Qingchen spoke lightly, blocking her from continuing to curse, then raised her eyelids and looked at Li Guo indifferently.

He said, "I have been waiting for you to appear, and I want to hear your explanation."

“…”

"Why did you betray me?"

What he said was very calm, not even a little excitement or anger, but obviously, compared to Mrs. Yan's anger, Li Guo was even more afraid of his calmness. He felt as if he was hit hard, and he shook his whole body and took two steps back.

Yan Qingchen continued, "Tell me."

Li Guo took a few more steps back.

He is very old and can almost be Yan Qingchen's father. With his status and experience, he should not be suppressed by Yan Qingchen's words without any resistance. But this is the case now. Facing us, even facing Mrs. Yan's scolding, he may feel guilty and embarrassment, but he can still calm down. But facing Yan Qingchen, the fear seems to seep out of his heart, a poison without antidote.

He didn't even have the strength to raise his head.

At this time, Yan Qinghan sneered.

"I've told you that if you want to do it, it's best to do it to the end."

“…”

"You're like this, do you think he'll be grateful to you?"

“…”

"You haven't seen his methods before."

The more he said, Li Guo's head lowered, and his neck was almost broken. Yan Qinghan looked at him and sneered again, then looked at Yan Qingchen and said coldly: "You don't need to ask anymore, he doesn't even intend to betray you."

“…”

"He just wanted to help me."

Yan Qingchen raised his eyebrows lightly.

Yan Qinghan's smile became deeper, but for some reason, it seemed like his heart was surging, covering his mouth and coughing twice. While coughing, he slowly bent down to level with Yan Qingchen, looked at the other party's cold eyes and said, "Of course, you won't understand."

“…”

"This feeling of being an abandoned child."

“…”

My heart sank suddenly.

Abandoned son?!

When he looked up at Li Guo again, the mask of calm on his face seemed to have been completely pierced by these two words, leaving only deep anger and sorrow.

Abandoned son...

By the way, I only thought that he might be for power and money, but I didn’t expect that there was a little similarity between him and Yan Qinghan.

People are originally complicated, and their emotions are also keen and fragile. Perhaps having suffered the same injury is enough to make the two people feel depended on each other. And he and Yan Qinghan are two people who have suffered the same injury.

I already knew Li Guo’s life experience, but before this, I had never paid attention to him seriously. Even if he arranged all of us for food, clothing, housing and transportation every day in the Yan family, but he did not give up more attention to him.

But I think this feeling is probably what he felt for most of his life.

After his parents elope, they gave birth to him. His father never appeared. His mother jumped into the river and died. He never gave him any warmth. Although Uncle Ai raised him, people like Uncle Ai didn't let him come out to meet people easily because they disliked the birth of his illegitimate child. It is conceivable that the cold feeling that he was abandoned by the whole world was abandoned.

Even after becoming the butler of the Yan family, I think the gap in his heart has never been filled.

And Yan Qinghan—

From the nickname he asked me to call him, I should understand that he has never withdrawn from his identity as an "abandoned son".

It was just like this that two people planned everything today. Li Guo was not for power or money, but for helping him, who was also an abandoned child. Perhaps he was helping another self in this world.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

But I don’t know if I should be angry or sad.

What happened in this world is a drink and a peck, and it is a matter of the past.

At this time, Yan Qingchen also sneered.

Compared to Yan Qinghan's constant sneer, his sneer at this moment is even more heartbreaking, and even his eyes are stained with the chill of ice and snow.

However, his sneer was like a bucket of ice water, pouring it on my head, making me wake up.

Things have reached this point.

No matter how much hardship Li Guo had or how miserable Yan Qinghan's past was, these are irreversible. But now they have controlled the Yan family's Xitang and the most important group of people in Xichuan, even the officials of the court and the masters of Jiangnan.

Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked back and saw that Li'er had already been lying on the ground and was sleeping unconsciously. Pei Yuanxiu still insisted on being awake, but the folds between his eyebrows were deep.

I gritted my teeth and turned around to look at Yan Qinghan: "So, what do you want to do now?"

Yan Qinghan turned around and looked at me.

"You have controlled us, and our life and death are in your control. Now, what do you want to do?"

“…”

Surprisingly, he was full of confidence, but he didn't answer me immediately at this moment. Even though he had a smile on his face, after hearing my words, the smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Then, I saw him walking towards me step by step.

When I walked up to me, I still felt a breeze blowing from his plain white clothes, and it was blowing towards me. I blinked slightly, and he had already squatted down and looked at me calmly.

My brows frowned slightly and looked at him.

The next moment, he did something I could not imagine—
