“Aren’t I telling the truth?” Xiaobai continued, “Even if he’s encountered something, he can talk to us. Holding everything inside won’t change anything. If he can’t resolve his own issues, he won’t be able to work properly.”
“No…” Xie Chi’s dark eyes were like they were covered in a layer of mist, watery and heartbreaking, “Don’t send me away.”
“But you’re unwilling to say anything, only causing worry. Isn’t this troubling Xiaoman?
“
“Xiaobai,” Lin Xiaoman’s voice became more severe, her smile fading, “To me, Xie Chi is my companion, my friend. He is not a trouble.”
“Xiaoman…” Xie Chi lowered his eyes, struggling internally. He couldn’t continue to be weak. Even if Xue Chenyan would make him leave Xiaoman, he couldn’t watch her get hurt.
Suddenly, he looked up, his gaze becoming determined: “I have something to tell you.”
Before speaking, he took Lin Xiaoman’s phone and turned it off, then looked at her timidly: “Your phone is being monitored.”
“Monitored?” Xiaobai reacted strongly, “What’s going on?”
“Not just the phone, possibly other surveillance devices,” Xie Chi nervously fidgeted with his fingers, “In any case, that person is monitoring Xiaoman’s every move.”
“Is it the person you saw by the pool that day?” Lin Xiaoman recalled his strange behavior recently, “Are you afraid of him?”
Xie Chi nodded: “He is my half-brother.”

Later, Xie Chi skipped grades and became the provincial top scorer in the college entrance exam, so he and his mother came to City A. During his college years, his mother passed away.
At the time, he frantically searched for memories related to his mother and accidentally discovered a will while invading his father’s computer, which would leave 30% of the company’s shares to him. However, he didn’t care and only copied photos of his mother from his father’s computer.
Unexpectedly, his father also passed away a year later.
Regarding the will, Xie Chi had never heard anyone mention it, and no one had come to him about inheriting the company.
However, Xie Chi had been starting businesses since college and didn’t care about his inheritance until this encounter with Xue Chenyan, which made him recall everything.
