Xu Nuo's phone rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, she hesitated for a moment before answering.

Did you receive the gift?

Are you satisfied?

A relaxed voice came through the receiver: "Tell your brother that you can stay here without worry, and contact me anytime if you have any problems."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Nuo looked at Xu Yuan blankly: "This was sent by Jin Jingshuo. He said it was for my brother to stay in."

"I'd only ever heard about people currying favor with Kim Kyung-seok before, but this is the first time I've ever seen him give something to someone."

"Brother, you really have a lot of influence."

Xu Yuan glanced at the property certificate in his sister's hand: "Unsolicited kindness is either a lie or a theft."

"We are not familiar with this person, and being overly enthusiastic from the first meeting may not be a good thing."

Xu Nuo's eyes lit up: "Brother is right."

He glanced down at the property certificate in his hand: "So what do we do?"

"Would you like to live here?"

I asked my sister's opinion first before making a wish.

If she's willing to live here, then naturally she should fulfill her sister's wish.

No matter what Kim Kyung-seok wanted to do, he would go along with it.

Xu Nuo glanced back at the villa, pondered for a moment, and shook her head: "Wherever my brother says we'll stay, that's where we'll stay."

It would be a lie to say I'm not nostalgic; after all, it's a big villa, and I have my own large bedroom.

But things are different now. Her parents have passed away, and her company is in decline. She can no longer act recklessly.

Seeing through her thoughts, Xu Yuan patted her hair and said, "Don't worry, one day, I'll make sure you live in a better house."

Making money would be a piece of cake for him, if he wanted to.

"Send the property certificate back to him."

Back in their room, the brother and sister began packing their things.

Even without the villa, they still have their old house, so they won't be homeless.

"Local evening news: Hengsheng Pharmaceutical, a well-known company in our city, issued a statement this afternoon, officially merging with Guochang Group, with Meng Qinghe appointed as the new general manager."

The brother and sister, who were packing their things, both looked up at the television that was on.

The Hengsheng Pharmaceuticals mentioned by the host is their family's company.

The merger of the company was expected, but no one expected Meng Qinghe to be the new general manager.

Xu Yuan didn't have any attachment to the company. If it was gone, it was gone. It was just an empty shell anyway, and taking it back would only be a hot potato.

He knew nothing about running a company. He and his sister had no shares in the company and no say in anything. Apart from forcibly taking it, they were not at an advantage in any other way.

My mother had instructed me before she passed away that I should not get involved in company affairs.

"Brother, this is Meng Qinghe."

Xu Nuo pointed to the long-faced middle-aged man on the TV screen: "This Guochang Group used to belong to the Wang family."

Xu Yuan quietly memorized Meng Qinghe's face and continued helping her sister pack her things.

The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and onto the floor. Du Aili stretched in bed, revealing her smooth belly.

She turned over and felt a chill. Puzzled, she lifted the blanket, glanced at the blanket, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"How could this happen?"

Perhaps she was seeing things, so she looked back into the blanket, this time for more than a minute, to make sure she wasn't mistaken.

"Did they all fall off?"

"ah…"

She rubbed her hair for a while, then got up and ran to the mirror to check. Fortunately, her hair was still there.

Her joy lasted less than two seconds before she was stunned again: "Where are my eyebrows?"

She strongly suspected that she had used the wrong hair removal cream, and overnight, her entire body became bald.

I looked more closely in the mirror; even regular hair removal cream doesn't remove hair this thoroughly.

"How am I supposed to go out and face people now?"

As I was pondering, there was a knock at the door, and my mother Peng Lili's voice rang out from outside.

"Lili, your two older sisters are back to see you. Get up quickly."

"Oh, and don't forget what your dad said yesterday: go and properly thank Xu Yuan."

"understood."

Du Aili slumped on the bed, responding weakly.

Upon hearing her mother mention Xu Yuan's name, she suddenly thought of something.

Could it be because of what happened yesterday?

After a moment's hesitation, she dialed Xu Nuo's number.

"Sister Ai Li, is there something you need so early in the morning?"

"Make a wish?"

"Are you looking for my brother?"

A moment later, Xu Yuan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "What is it?"

"What?"

Du Aili swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

You can't just ask directly, "Why is the fur on my body falling out?"

"Thank you for yesterday. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

By the way, here's the payment you promised.

"Can."

Seeing that Du Aili didn't speak, Xu Yuan prepared to hang up: "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

"Hey, wait a minute."

Sensing that Xu Yuan was about to hang up, Du Aili quickly stopped him.

"Um, I'd like to ask you something."

"explain."

The tone of his wish remained calm.

Du Aili was speechless; this guy seemed to have absolutely no patience for girls.

"I mean, will there be any lingering effects on me from yesterday?"

"Are you bald?" Xu Yuan's words were merciless.

Du Aili blushed deeply through the phone.

"No, can't you be a little more tactful?"

"Oh, so you're shedding?"

Du Aili covered her face; he seemed not to understand what tact meant.

"After the peach blossoms break through the formation, different people will have slightly different reactions, which is normal and will not affect their lives."

Don't worry about it.

Du Aili's lips twitched. "You make it sound so easy, like you don't need to worry about it."

So it wasn't you who was shedding.

beep...

Xu Yuan held up the phone after hanging up, looking completely bewildered.

"That's so rude! I kindly told you, and you didn't even say thank you before hanging up on me."

No wonder it's shedding fur.

"Dude, what did you say?"

Curious, and having grown accustomed to her brother's eccentricities, Xu Nuo couldn't help but ask another question.

Xu Yuan smiled and handed over her phone: "I have to say, this thing is really interesting. You can talk to the other person even from so far away."

"Brother doesn't have a phone yet, I'll buy you one later." Xu Nuo leaned closer to Xu Yuan and taught him how to use a phone.

Evening, at the Platinum Hotel.

Xu Yuan had just arrived when he saw Uncle Fu standing at the door.

Upon seeing Xu Yuan, Uncle Fu quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Xu, my young lady is waiting for you in the private room on the third floor."

"No need to call me 'sir,' just call me by my name."

Xu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable with his respectful attitude, as if she were in her seventies or eighties.

Uncle Fu helped press the elevator button, always with a smile on his face: "I heard you're moving. If you need any help, I can find someone to go and assist you."

"You're really well-informed."

Xu Yuan made a joking remark, and Uncle Fu gave an awkward smile.

"In that case, I really need to trouble you to find a few cars for me tomorrow to move the things out of the villa."

"No problem, it would be my pleasure."

Ever since witnessing Xu Yuan's magical duel with the old man in the park, he has held Xu Yuan in the highest esteem.

If he weren't so old, he would have kowtowed and become a disciple.

The door to the private room opened, and Du Aili, wearing large sunglasses, sat next to a woman in a blue halter dress.

"So handsome."

As soon as Xu Yuan stepped inside, the stranger's eyes lit up and she clenched her fists.

"Sister Ai Li, why are you wearing sunglasses so late at night?" Xu Nuo greeted her curiously.

Ignoring all that, the woman in the halter top stood up and walked confidently to Xu Yuan, extending her hand and making no attempt to hide her admiration.

"Hello handsome guy, this is Lili's best friend, Xie Mengyun."

"Hello, make a wish."

Xu Yuan returned the greeting with a clasped-fist salute, but did not shake her hand.

"It's quite unique, I like it."

"I heard that my daughter Lili ran into some trouble yesterday, and you helped her solve it."
