Xiao Zhan was momentarily stunned when he heard Bai Rui address him, because Feng Ruiran only called him uncle when he was very young, and later, he became rebellious and kept calling him by his full name.

Bai Rui’s tone was slightly more teasing, but it made Xiao Zhan feel much closer to him. Seeing the deep meaning in the other’s eyes, he nodded without hesitation.

The secretary at the side, Wang Sheng, stood out at the right time and said to Feng Yuzheng.

“Mr. Feng, just talk to me about the harbor.”

Saying that, he made a gesture to him, signaling to go elsewhere to talk. Feng Yuzheng looked at Xiao Zhan on the side, but since he had already stated his position, he didn’t say anything more and turned around to leave with Wang Sheng.

There were only Xiao Zhan and Bai Rui left in place, but Bai Rui wasn’t bothered. Looking up at Xiao Zhan, he watched as his brow furrowed, then he hesitantly spoke.

“Xiao Ran, although your surname is Feng, you must remember even more that you are a child of the Xiao family!”

Bai Rui nodded.

“Xiao Zhan, I used to be immature. Now I know that in this world, only you are sincere to me. Don’t worry, I know what to do now, but it’s not the right time yet.”

Bai Rui’s expression was despondent, but his eyes were unusually firm, causing Xiao Zhan to feel a stinging pain in his heart.

“Xiao Ran, no matter what, you don’t need to condescend yourself for another person. You have to remember that behind you stands the Xiao family!”

Xiao Zhan touched Bai Rui’s head with some tenderness as he spoke. Bai Rui’s lips couldn’t help but twitch; he could tell that Xiao Zhan seemed to treat him like a child. In fact, Xiao Zhan was only 10 years older than the original owner.

Moreover, Bai Rui’s real age in his original world wasn’t much different from Xiao Zhan’s. Suddenly being looked at like this by his peer made Bai Rui feel a bit amused.

However, he could understand Xiao Zhan’s joy. In the past, Xiao Zhan also didn’t give face to the Feng family in front of Feng Ruiran; instead, he always stood up for Feng Ruiran.

But the original owner didn’t understand Xiao Zhan’s painstaking efforts and still believed Liu Xue’s words, feeling that he had no blood relationship with Xiao Zhan. However, Xiao Zhan seized the property of the Xiao family and flaunted his power in front of the Feng family, making Feng Ruiran subconsciously resist Xiao Zhan.

Bai Rui replaced the original owner, so he could understand Xiao Zhan’s thoughts. He had just expressed his gratitude to Xiao Zhan, and today he was dressed very decently, which made Xiao Zhan satisfied.

Xiao Zhan thought that it was normal for Feng Ruiran to be a bit mischievous since he lost his mother at a young age. Moreover, now that he had shed his shabby clothes, he looked even more well-behaved in his clean and tidy outfit.

It was a great thing that the other party had finally figured things out. He just didn’t know what the Feng family did to hurt Xiaoran to the point of him becoming wiser. Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

“Xiaoran, I checked your university courses. You don’t have many courses now; if you don’t have anything to do, come to the company and find me. I will teach you how to manage the Xiao family’s company and family business; after all, the entire Xiao family will be in your hands in the future.”

Bai Rui looked up in surprise upon hearing Xiao Zhan’s words. The other actually said he wanted to hand over the Xiao family to him?

What was the purpose of the other party giving him such a huge Xiao family? Xiao Zhan had already taken control of all the industries of the Xiao family, there was no need for him to hand it over. However, in Xiao Zhan’s eyes, Bai Rui only saw care and sincerity.

So, was there really no selfishness at all? If it wasn’t selfishness, then Xiao Zhan must be very proficient in acting, his acting skills were so good that even he couldn’t tell. But if what Xiao Zhan said was true, then this person was really stupid.

However, even if Feng Ruiran’s mother left a will before her death, saying that she entrusted the Xiao family to Xiao Zhan for management, it was just a will; how could it be easily carried out in a wealthy family?

Could Xiao Zhan, the son of the housekeeper with no blood relationship, defeat all the people in the Xiao family and take the position of the head of the family and be a good person?

Bai Rui looked at Xiao Zhan with a hint of interest in his eyes and deliberately responded.

“Xiao Zhan, I’m still young. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you in the company and may even hold you back.”

Xiao Zhan frowned upon hearing Bai Rui’s words.

“What are you talking about? You can learn if you don’t know it.”

Turning his head, he saw Bai Rui’s anxious eyes and subconsciously slowed down his breath.

“I’ll take care of everything; you can rest assured. However, don’t tell the people of the Feng family that I will hand over the Xiao family to you in the future, understand?”

Bai Rui nodded without asking any questions, naturally knowing that Xiao Zhan had asked him to keep it a secret from the Feng family for his own good.

Since Xiao Ling’s death, Xiao Zhan had never experienced the warmth of family again. Now facing Bai Rui, who had become obedient, he felt that his heart, which had been cold and hard for many years, had become much softer. After talking to Bai Rui a little more, he agreed to have Wang Sheng pick him up to study at Xiao Zhan’s company two days later before he left the banquet.

After all, Xiao Zhan had a lot of things to do, and this time he just came to let others know how much he valued Feng Ruiran, with a hidden posture of supporting him. Bai Rui looked at Xiao Zhan’s tall figure and looked forward to meeting him again in two days.

After Xiao Zhan left, Bai Rui went to the corner. Feng Yuzheng was drinking one glass after another in a somewhat depressed manner because he didn’t have a pleasant conversation with Wang Sheng, and it was obvious that he had already become intoxicated.

And the female lead, Jiang Peipei, wasn’t far away, although she was talking to Jiang Wenzheng; her eyes occasionally observed Feng Yuzheng.

Bai Rui didn’t intend to approach and silently watched everything. Not long after, Feng Yuzheng became completely drunk: because the cruise ship was originally from the Feng family, and the waiters also knew Feng Yuzheng, soon, staff helped Feng Yuzheng to a luxurious guest room on the cruise ship to rest, and after a while, the female lead Jiang Peipei also left the banquet hall using a random excuse.

“Lao Hei, can we access the surveillance footage on the cruise ship?”

“No problem.”

As soon as Lao Hei finished speaking, the image of the cruise ship corridor immediately appeared in Bai Rui’s mind. Jiang Peipei sneaked into the hallway and somehow obtained the room key for Feng Yuzheng’s room, sneaking into the room.

Seeing this, Bai Rui asked Lao Hei to temporarily block the surveillance and then went to the door of Feng Yuzheng’s room. Sure enough, he heard tiny moans coming from inside. It seemed that the battle inside was going on; Bai Rui curled his lips and returned to the banquet hall.

Another hour later, Bai Rui saw He Wenzheng anxiously asking others if they had seen Jiang Peipei. Jiang Peipei had been gone for too long, and He Wenzheng looked very worried.

However, Bai Rui wasn’t in a hurry. Instead, he waited until He Wenzheng came over and asked him about this before he spoke very “kindly.”.

“Sir, don’t worry too much. I happen to be the younger brother of the owner of this cruise ship. We can go to the monitoring room and take a look. Maybe we can find where Miss Jiang is…”

Upon hearing this, He Wenzheng was very grateful and went to the monitoring room with Bai Rui. Naturally, the people on board also knew Bai Rui. Without hesitation, they dug up the surveillance footage on the ship and indeed saw the scene of the female lead sneaking into the room.

Although He Wenzheng also had doubts in his heart, he was worried that Jiang Peipei might have the upper hand. After knowing where Jiang Peipei was, he immediately left to find her.

But Bai Rui asked the person in charge of the ship to follow He Wenzheng with the room card. When he arrived at the door of the room, He Wenzheng immediately knocked on the door, but no one answered. Bai Rui finally took out his room card and opened the door with a worried expression.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, the scene inside made everyone awkwardly freeze. The smell in the room hadn’t dissipated yet, and Jiang Peipei and Feng Yuzheng’s bodies were bare, and they were seemingly asleep. Jiang Peipei’s body was filled with traces of love. Beside him, He Wenzheng couldn’t help but blush.

“Peipei.”

He Wenzheng shouted loudly, successfully waking up the two people in bed. Jiang Peipei was still a bit confused when she saw a few people suddenly appear in the room. With a loud cry, she grabbed the blanket next to her and wrapped herself tightly, trembling as she hid inside.

He Wenzheng rushed up and hit Feng Yuzheng. Feng Yuzheng had just woken up and was caught off guard. He Wenzheng punched him a few times before he could fight back.

The person in charge of the cruise ship quickly asked his subordinates to pull He Wenzheng away. He Wenzheng, who was being held back, kept screaming.

“Peipei, he forced you, right? I won’t let him go!”

“I, I…”

However, Jiang Peipei hadn’t yet recovered from this sudden situation and didn’t know how to answer He Wenzheng.

Upon hearing He Wenzheng’s words, Bai Rui beside him coldly retorted.

“Mr. He, please figure it out. Because you said you couldn’t find Miss Jiang, we checked the surveillance footage before coming here. It’s obvious that Miss Jiang secretly sneaked into my brother’s room. As for what happened, it’s clearly a matter of personal preference. With the strength of our family, do you think my brother still needs to force others?”

Feng Yuzheng finally came to his senses after hearing this. Many women had slept with him over the years, and he never refused any of them who were a little bit pretty. For Feng Yuzheng, they were just tools to satisfy his physiological needs.

However, Feng Yuzheng wouldn’t like a woman who caused trouble for him just after climbing out of bed; his eyes clearly showed impatience when he looked at Jiang Peipei.

On the side, He Wenzheng wanted to defend Jiang Peipei, but when he remembered the surveillance just now, He Wenzheng found himself unable to refute it. Was Jiang Peipei’s purity and strength just a deception?

He Wenzheng looked at Jiang Peipei with a heart-wrenching expression, and Jiang Peipei’s eyes dodged. Turning to Bai Rui, who was accusing her, she exclaimed with red eyes,.

“How can you say that about me?! I don’t know anything at all!”

Bai Rui saw Jiang Peipei’s innocent and tearful expression, but he had no pity in his heart.

Smiling, he said, “Miss Jiang, do you want to check the surveillance records yourself? To see if you don’t know how you got to this room without being noticed by others, or if you don’t know how you got the room card and opened the door of this room yourself?”

Jiang Peipei couldn’t even pretend to be pitiful after listening to Bai Rui’s words. At the beginning, she struggled to join Shengheng Group because she knew that Shengheng’s CEO was handsome and wealthy and deliberately approached He Wenzheng to get this opportunity to climb onto Feng Yuzheng’s bed.

Although it was possible to create a scene of misunderstanding and deepen his impression of her, her life was suddenly disrupted by someone rushing in.

With the surveillance video as evidence, she had no way to argue. The young man’s words just now were extremely contemptuous of her. Jiang Peipei turned her head and looked at Bai Rui, with a flash of hatred in her eyes.
