The whole world was dark.

A few faint rays of sunlight barely shined through the gaps in the dense clouds, projecting onto the dense buildings of Summer City.

The neatly planned and magnificent building looks particularly uniform in the sunlight.

But the overly coordinated style and color always exude a special flavor, so stiff and heavy.

The flickering neon and lights in the street scene, against the intertwined colors of sunlight and street lamps, give the whole street a metallic dark yellow.

The road is lined with delicate carved lampposts, and the spacious eight-lane street, but there are no vehicles or pedestrians, and it looks a little deserted.

Even if the beautiful neighborhood scenery is in the eyes a thousand times, when the yellow sand hits, everyone who is smart knows to stay in the café or in the car, so as not to be blinded by the coming sand and dust weather, and dirty luggage.

In the yellow sand, an electric motor drove on the deserted street, driving the young man stubbornly against the wind, like an ant running between heaven and earth.

The yellow wind ruffled the hairstyle, and the lenses of the sunglasses were covered with dust.

The well-proportioned figure looks youthful and fashionable when wearing a close-fitting light blue short-sleeved shirt, black Korean slacks, and a pair of pointed shoes covered with dust.

The electric car stops in front of the café with its baroque décor.

Xu Ran pulled out the car keys, stomped his feet at the door, dusted off the sand on his body and head, and swept down a lot of wind and sand, and then pushed open the door of the café.

The sound of the wind whistling outside is quiet, and in the romantic and elegant atmosphere, only soothing music flows in the ears.

After taking off the sunglasses that still had the wind and sand, revealing a slightly resolute silhouette, the two piercing eyes under the sword eyebrows scanned the front hall of the café, and no target came into view.

"There is no one in the world who lives like a purgatory, I don't cry and I don't have the dignity to give up......"

At this time, the mobile phone rings at the right time.

After the phone was answered, Xu Ran's voice was a little dry and hoarse: "Xiaoyi, don't call me again in the future!"

"Xu Ran, why?"

The female voice on the other end of the voice was equally low and bitter.

There was a brief silence.

Xu Ran took a deep breath and said, "At least I can save a little bit of dignity and let them know that I am a man and will not bow to any strong oppression!"

The female voice on the other end of the phone couldn't help but start crying: "Xu Ran, is there really no other way......

"Xiaoyi, I'm sorry, you know that I have too many things in Xia Cheng that I can't let go, so let's break up!"

Hanging up the phone, Xu Ran resolutely walked into the next hall and found a woman sitting by the window.

The woman is in her forties, her five views are delicate and elegant, she wears gold-eyed glasses, and she is quiet like a female scholar who has read poetry and books, giving people a sense of tranquility and elegance.

"Hello Auntie, I've kept you waiting, I'm Xu Ran!"

Seeing that this woman who was seven points similar to Xiao Yi should be Xiao Yi's mother Fang Qinzi, Xu Ran walked to the table and took the initiative to say hello without losing her politeness.

The woman got up politely, only to see that she was wearing a more rigorous and elegant LEE knee-length skirt, Louis Vuitton short-sleeved women's top, and a pair of Dolce & Gabbana's black sheepskin classical high-heeled shoes.

"Hello, I've only been here for a while, please take a seat!"

When she put down her LV handbag and politely reached out to ask for a seat, the dial of a Patek Philippe watch on Hao's wrist was facing the customer's sight, and the etiquette was impeccable.

After the two sides sat down, a pot of tea on the table was fragrant.

Fang Qinzi's voice was still calm and asked, "Do you like tea, or coffee?"

"Coffee, thank you!"

Chirp!

With a snap of his fingers, Fang Qinzi summoned the waiter and ordered a cup of Blue Mountain for Xu Ran.

The aroma brought by the pure coffee beans rose, and the smell was more refreshing, Xu Ran gently stirred up a small whirlpool of coffee and did not take the initiative to speak.

Fang Qinzi took a sip of tea, and then looked directly at Xu Ran after gently putting down the teaglass: "Xu Ran, I must know the purpose of me coming to Xia Cheng in person and asking you to talk, right?"

Xu Ran thought for a moment before he spoke: "Auntie, I understand, please speak up!"

Fang Qinzi was always very calm, and said lightly: "You can judge from your eyes, you are a strong-willed person who refuses to admit defeat, youth is your capital, perseverance can be turned into motivation, your future life should be very exciting, but ......"

Speaking of this, Fang Qinzi emphasized in an accentuated tone: "Many people's future does not have infinite possibilities, and there are too many factors!"

Although this was tactful, Xu Ran understood what she was emphasizing, which was nothing more than the cliché of family background, wealth and status.

"Do they really matter?"

"Important!"

Fang Qinzi nodded: "Xu Ran, twenty-one years old, his parents died at the age of seven, he was raised by his aunt and a ninety-year-old man, he was admitted to Xidu University of Science and Technology at the age of seventeen with excellent results, and he was a special scholarship winner for four years in school, and he won a total of 19 honors, graduated with full honors and stayed in school, left his job at Xidu University half a year ago and returned to Xiacheng to start a business, running an online store, with an imbalance between income and expenditure, and fell into a long-term shortage of funds, and began to work part-time as an insurance and express delivery to maintain a basic life......"

Xu Ran was expressionless when he listened to the other party's account of his resume.

Fang Qinzi said: "Maybe it has something to do with your growth environment in the orphanage, I won't laugh at your values, but I'm very puzzled, why did you give up the good future of Xidu University and return to Xiacheng to start a business, such a trade-off is completely inconsistent with the values and concepts of ordinary people?"

"Maybe you think it's a stupid choice!"

After laughing at himself, Xu Ran's eyes were still firmly looking at Fang Qinzi: "Auntie, some things may be incomprehensible in your outlook on life, but for us ordinary people, in this land that gave birth to me, I will have those things that I can't give up, such as family affection, and that's enough......"

Fang Qinzi said indifferently: "But for Xiao Yi, her happiness cannot be pinned on your ethereal persistence, spiritual wealth is only a philosophical issue after all, material wealth is needed to ensure it, you have to face the reality......"

"Auntie, you don't need to say it anymore, I know what I'm doing, and I will promise you not to see her again in the future and cut off contact, as for how you deal with this broken and stiff family relationship with Xiaoyi, Auntie, you should have a rod and scale in your heart!"

Fang Qinzi looked at the boy in front of him in a daze, relatively speechless.

"Hehe, what a joke......"

At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from nearby, and I saw a well-dressed, handsome, handsome, and elite young man walking from not far away.

The young man walked to the opposite side of Xu Ran, looked at him coldly and said: "Don't speculate on human nature with the conjecture of a sling, the thoughts of the clouds are not replaced by the inferior concept of a lump of mud, the power of wealth is not what you can imagine, Xiao Yi may just play with you at most......"

The words of the young man were a bit heavy and merciless.

Fang Qinzi frowned: "Wufeng, what are you doing when you come out?"

Ye Wufeng said: "Mom, the so-called sling concept and persistence that some people brought out in the ivory tower made him unable to recognize this reality at all, I came to make him sober again!"

After that, the young man took out a check and signed it and threw it in front of Xu Ran: "Everyone in this society is pursuing it, buy your broken online store for one million, let him close forever, don't treat him as a handout or a test of humanity, this is just a buyout transaction......

Xu Ran didn't look at the check, nor did he look at Ye Wufeng, he just turned to look at Fang Qinzi: "Auntie, do you approve of Ye Wufeng's unjustified power buyout transaction?"

Fang Qinzi hesitated for a moment, but finally remained silent.

Xu Ran sneered.

"I know how powerful the wealth of this society is, I am not an angry youth, I don't have those childish thoughts that despise the rich, although my online store is broken, it will not be closed, let alone sold to people like you, since you think everything can be measured by wealth, then let's wait and see, hehe......"

Xu Ran got up and left the table.

After taking a few steps, he turned to something.

He turned his head to Qin Zi and said: "Auntie, what I told you before, I will do what I say, as for how you will treat this matter, whether Xiao Yi will go home to renew the family relationship, now it is a matter for you to consider, it has nothing to do with me, and in the end, please don't treat him as a test of human nature, farewell!"

With that, Xu Ran put on the sunglasses that were still stained with dust and left the café.

Looking at the increasingly blurred back of riding the electric car and disappearing into the dim wind and sand flying in the sky, Fang Qinzi got up, his eyes were a little complicated and indescribable.

After she took a deep breath, she said to Ye Wufeng: "Give up your unjustified targeting and suppression, I'm tired and don't want to compete with a child anymore......"
