She let out a long sigh, got up, and quietly left.

Thinking of Karl, he took out his phone and dialed.

"I'm sorry. Karl, what I said just now was too much. I was wrong, please forgive me. I need you to stay by my side and protect me, okay? " Xia Zhi lowered his posture and said softly.

Hearing the busy signal from the other side of the phone, Xia Zhi softly said, "Thank you, Karl. Thank you, Bronk. "

Yang Yazhu slept for a long time, and only until the afternoon of the second day did she open her eyes with a splitting headache. When she found herself in an unfamiliar hotel, she couldn't help but be startled, and immediately lifted off her blanket to examine herself. When she saw that her clothes were very tidy and her body didn't feel anything strange, she couldn't help but sigh in relief.

She reckoned that Xia Zhi was the one who brought her here.

She got off the bed in a daze and walked unsteadily towards the outside. As she walked, she shouted, "Xia Zhi! I have a sore throat, pour me a glass of water! "

"Coming, coming!" Xia Zhi ran out from the other room and poured herself a cup of warm water. She placed it in front of Yang Yazhu who was sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed and a pained expression on her face, "The water is here, drink!"

Yang Yazhu accepted it, raised her head and 'gulped' it down, and then handed the cup back to Xia Zhi, "It's not enough! Another cup! "

"Alright. Just you wait! " Xia Zhi took the cup and stood up to leave.

Yang Yazhu held her back as she scanned her face and asked curiously: "What's wrong with your face? Who hit you? Did I cause you trouble last night? Do you know where she lives? I'll find someone to cripple him! "

Xia Zhi laughed lightly, "You have indeed caused trouble. However, that person has already been taught a lesson by my men. I only hurt my face, but he hurt his internal organs enough for him to drink. "

"Really?" Yang Yazhu was skeptical.

"Of course it's true. When did I lie to you? Since when have I ever been taken advantage of? " Xia Zhi laughed.

Yang Yazhu curled her lips, "Haven't you suffered a loss of words all these years?"

"That is the past Xia Zhi. The current Xia Zhi is not so easily bullied. " Xia Zhi laughed as she patted her face, "That's enough. Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself. Wasn't it a sore throat? Say less. I'll get you some water. "

But Yang Yazhu didn't let go, "Don't go. I'm not thirsty. Let me have a good look at your face and tell me, does it hurt? "

"It hurts a little. However, it was nothing. He would be able to see nothing after two days. It's just that I'll have to trouble you to face this ugly face of mine for the next two days. " Xia Zhi chuckled.

Yang Yazhu hugged her and whispered, "You're not ugly, I'm happy to be with you."

She meant it when she said it.

Xia Zhi's red and swollen face made her understand that she must have caused a huge mess last night.

Xia Zhi bore the responsibility for her, but she wasn't harmed in the slightest.

It reminded her of the days when they had been so close.

At that time, they were so good, so good to be envied.

If Han Jing had not appeared in their lives, their friendship would still be as clean and beautiful as it was before.

Destiny is truly heartless...

The two of them embraced each other for a long time, and in the end, it was still Yang Yazhu who made a loud noise from the inside of her stomach. Only then did the two of them let go of each other with a smile.

When they let go, both of them could see the tears shining in each other's eyes.

"I'll call and order." Xia Zhi forced a smile as he stood up.

"Good!" I want porridge, the most ordinary kind, white porridge with nothing to put in it. Two more appetizers. You just have to eat the minced meat, pickles, and green peppers. " Yang Yazhu raised her head and called out, like a little girl acting spoiled towards an adult.

"Okay. "Everything will be up to you." Xia Zhi smiled and replied as she ordered the dishes on the phone.

The take-out food was quickly delivered, and the two of them sat opposite each other as they ate in big mouthfuls.

No one spoke, only occasionally raising their heads to look at each other with a smile. They only felt as if they were once again sitting opposite each other in a university cafeteria.

The simplest meals, the best times, it was so good.

After eating, Xia Zhi thought for a while, then said: "Yazhu, today is the ninth day of the new year. How about I accompany you back to see your parents, since we're still a few days away from Yuan Xiao? You haven't gone back for the new year, have you? "

Yang Yazhu's eyes darkened, and she gently shook her head, "I indeed didn't reply. because they're no longer in the country. "

Xia Zhi was startled, "They went abroad again? It couldn't be that he hadn't come back after his last trip, right? Is he planning to travel around the world? "

"That's right!" So I don't know exactly where they are now. Often, he would be in Paris today, or in London tomorrow, and would arrive at the Switzerland in a few days' time. " Yang Yazhu felt extremely bitter in his heart.

"No wonder. But thinking about it, taking advantage of their good health, going out for a walk was also pretty good. And didn't he take the children with him? This was the perfect time for children to experience the different customs and practices of different countries. "In that case, he will be more promising than other children his age." Xia Zhi quickly comforted her.

"Yes." He's really smart, like a little scoundrel. " Yang Yazhu sighed, "It's a pity that for some reason, every time I see him, I can't give him all of my love. Sometimes I even think, am I too cold? "

"The word 'cold' has nothing to do with you, because more than anyone else, you know how good you are. You are the warmest and kindest person I know." Xia Zhi said gently.

Hearing that, Yang Yazhu suddenly did not dare look up at her, she only felt that she was not worthy of her praises, and anxiously changed the topic, "Don't talk about me anymore. Let's talk about you. How is it going with Pei Yaochen? "Is everything all right?"

"Although there are always small episodes happening during the process, but in the end, everything went smoothly." Xia Zhi then told Yang Yazhu everything that had happened between him and Pei Yaochen.

Yang Yazhu was dumbstruck upon hearing this, and took a deep breath in the end, sighing: "Xia Zhi, you sure are in a good spot now! To actually be willing to destroy a manor that was worth 150 million over hundreds of years, wasn't that a bit too extravagant? How can you bear to do it? If it was me, I would definitely be reluctant to part with it! "

Xia Zhi smiled, "To me, money is only a number that increases several times every day. I can't risk my life for it like I did in the past. Moreover, I burned Pei Yaochen's money. Wasn't the purpose of me doing all of this to slowly nibble away all of his wealth? This is only the beginning. "

"You're amazing. I really admire you. At the same time, he felt ashamed of his inferiority. Maybe I really should have a goal like you. "Otherwise, if you always have nothing to do at home, sooner or later, you'll get a little bored to death!" Yang Yazhu said as though he was thinking about something.

"That is indeed the case. Actually, if you are willing, after Pei Yaochen and I have gotten along well, you might as well come to my company and help me. Without boasting, my company has a lot of elites from Wall Street, and you can learn a lot by working with them. When that happens, you won't have time to complain that life is too empty and boring. You will only feel that you don't have enough time and want to use every second as two seconds. " Xia Zhi suggested with a smile.

"Really? Do you really want me to go to your company? Are you sure that I can help you and not become a burden? " Yang Yazhu was also very excited.

"Of course. I never question your ability. Because I know how capable you are. Come on! "I beg you!" Xia Zhi shook her hand as if he was begging.

"All right. I promise you. " Yang Yazhu nodded her head vigorously, her originally dull eyes suddenly lit up.

When Xia Zhi saw this, she could not help but be excited.

She didn't need to leave this place, didn't need to deliberately leave her precious good friend to achieve her own goals, and could also help her good friend out of this predicament.

It seemed like she couldn't use the plan she had spent the entire night thinking about.

That's great! That's great!

She was already a little impatient to speed things up. This way, she would be able to openly and intimately interact with Yang Yazhu and support each other.

It would be a good time again.

At the hospital of the New York's Elders Guild, Pei Yaochen was bent over packing his luggage.

Today was the day Xie Ziyi would be discharged from the hospital.

Although her body wasn't recovering at all, she couldn't wait to get out of the hospital.

She was in a hurry to return to her familiar home, to see her family.

Under her repeated requests, Pei Yaochen and the doctor spoke to each other repeatedly and after making all the necessary emergency preparations, he finally decided to leave the hospital.
