Zhuge Yu followed Fang Zilan, and on the way to send her back to the house, he suddenly said: "I thought that the dispute between Mr. Fang and his cousin was just about family business. However, when we met today, the so-called family business is only visible through the lens. Yiban, I’m afraid the entanglement between them goes far beyond that.”
At the end, he sighed softly and said: "Master Fang's feelings for his cousin are really extraordinary."
"I'm afraid that I will be too dependent and I won't be able to let go. I always think that if someone is blocking the front, I can hide behind and be a helpless shadow. But I don't know that the shadow can also be seen." Fang Zilan replied lukewarmly. After saying this, Zhuge Yu stopped and said, "Fang Lihui is not a shadow."
Fang Zilan also stopped, but did not look back at Zhuge Yu, "He is not a shadow, he is just a shadow for Fang Liren to willingly retreat behind others."
She turned around suddenly, with a hint of imperceptible self-mockery in her tone, "Ayu, don't you think people are weird? Obviously she can live as dazzling as the sun, but for some so-called feelings, she is willing to become The gems that decorate other people's crowns only wish to add luster to others..."
Her voice became deeper and deeper as she spoke, with an inexplicable astringency hidden in every word, "But I forgot how much pain it took to cut myself into such a glorious appearance."
Zhuge Yu looked at Fang Zilan, who had a haggard face but eyes that were as bright as stars. The sadness and sadness in his face seemed to be outlined by this sentence. He had mixed feelings but felt extremely unashamed.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, with the same light smile on his face as always, "If Zhuge Yu can become the jewel on the crown of the capital, it will be worth it even if he is shattered to pieces. If Fang Lihui can become the jewel on the crown of the Fang family, even if it comes to it, it will be worth it." He is also willing to fight with all kinds of swords and axes."
As if involuntarily, Fang Zilan heard her own voice, soft and sad, like a flower blooming in the snow, it would disappear without a trace the next moment.
"Fang Lihui is different from you, A Yu. He doesn't have your broad-mindedness but is much more stubborn than you. He is not the jade in the crown of the Fang family, he is just a jade carved by Fang Liren alone. If Fang Liren leaves the Fang family today, I'm afraid that he I would rather have beautiful jade covered in dust than have the brilliance of being alone and admiring myself."
"What about you, Sister Lan?" As if he was out of control, Zhuge Yu asked this question, his tone filled with doubts, curiosity, and more expectations, but even he himself didn't know what he was expecting.
But he knew that no matter what it was, he wanted to hear her answer.
"I am not anyone's gem, and I will not refract light to add luster to others. Nor am I a moon or star, which relies on the light of others to shine. Nor am I a shadow behind someone, hiding in the dark and shrinking." There seemed to be a bright light in her eyes. , said with great determination: "I want to be my own sun."
Zhuge Yu stared blankly at Fang Zilan, who was almost absent-minded. After a long time, he slowly said: "No wonder Fang Liren said that Fang Lihui is stubborn, and no wonder Sister Lan understands Fang Lihui's paranoia so much. In fact, you are all the same in nature. You think you are obsessed with it." I wanted to live like the sun to warm others, but I didn’t expect that it would eventually become my own obsession.”
His words were like a sharp blade, piercing through the last disguise on Fang Zilan's face and peeling off the obsession buried deep in her heart.
Was it just obsession? A wry smile appeared on Fang Zilan's face. She closed her eyes and felt that her whole person was in chaos. It was so thick that she couldn't see where she was coming from, and she couldn't tell the way forward. Did she end up in such a situation?
She clenched her fists subconsciously, and there was uncontrollable sourness in her eyes. Even if it is an obsession, as long as it is firmly in your own hands, what's the problem?
Opening her eyes suddenly, she seemed to be a different person, turned around, changed direction, and left Dugu Mansion.
Awan hesitated for a moment, then followed suit with a stamp of her feet.
Zhuge Yu looked at the backs of the two of them and couldn't help but smile to himself. He said that Fang Lihui was stubborn and Fang Zilan was paranoid, but who hasn't been obsessed?
Fang Zilan staggered into Yingchun Tower, her expression was cold and full of chills.
Although the waiters in the building did not recognize her, no one dared to step forward to stop her, allowing her to step onto the tall building step by step. When she reached the top of the Yingchun Tower, she saw Fang Lihui lying on the ground drunk.
His clothes were disheveled and his hair was disheveled. He was completely different from the cynical and promiscuous young man in the day. He looked extremely embarrassed.
Fang Zilan walked up to Fang Lihui, knelt down and looked at him with a somewhat unbearable expression, "Even if Young Master Fang dies drunk here, your cousin will eventually leave."
"I know, I know everything." Fang Lihui smiled and sat upright with his hands on the ground. The wine bottle in his arms was no longer under the care of its owner, and rolled to the wall, making a crisp sound, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.
He murmured: "But Mr. Fang, do you know? I always thought that he would never leave. Even if I leave one day, he will not leave. He is like the sun of the Fang family, rising in the east and setting in the west. There has never been a mistake. He wants to leave the Fang family like this, why? Why..."
"Master Fang, you are drunk." Fang Zilan reached out and tried to help him up, but he threw her away.
Fang Lihui stood up unsteadily, staggered to the window, and leaned against the railing, "I'm not drunk! Mr. Fang, do you know? In fact, my cousin doesn't owe the Fang family a penny, it's me who owes him . He has been the head of the Fang family for six years and has done countless businesses. How could he not repay the Fang family's upbringing? The Fang family treated him very coldly and did not spend any thought on him, but he did. He put all his efforts into the Fang family. Later, he finally found a woman he liked and asked him to give up all this. Don't you think it's ridiculous? "
Fang Zilan stared at Fang Lihui closely, fearing that he would stumble and fall from the stairs when he was drunk. She thought carefully about his words and frowned slightly: "You just said you owed him, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Fang Lihui stumbled to her side, smelling of alcohol hitting his face. She didn't dodge and still stood there, watching him put his index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture, "Shh, I’ll tell you a secret, don’t tell anyone.”
Fang Lihui's eyes were bright, and the smile on his face showed indescribable pride, "I can't trust those old guys from the Fang family, so I insist on doing business on my own. All the capital for my business was paid by my cousin from the Fang family's account. For me."
He paused for a moment as he spoke, his expression suddenly filled with resentment, "But when he was settling the accounts just now, he put all the money on himself. Tell me, what kind of business genius is he? He is clearly a fool!"
