Illicit Relationship

Actually, Xiao Tian had guessed that Crystal would ask that question. Anyone who knew his family name would always be curious about it.

The Xiao Family had kicked out everyone who had Xiao as their surname as if the Xiao family name should only be used by them.

At this moment, Xiao Tian wavered whether he should tell the truth or not. However, because she wanted to be his real friend, Xiao Tian decided to tell the truth. "That's right. I'm from that Xiao family."

"Then why don't you live with them?" Crystal asked curiously. "I never even saw you when the Xiao family was on TV."

"Because they kicked me out of the Xiao family." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. "It can be said that I'm an abandoned son. They kicked me out of the Xiao family when I was little."

Crystal suddenly felt sorry for Xiao Tian. She didn't expect that the Xiao family was so cruel to him. But the cruelest thing was that they kicked him out when he was still little.

'Well, rich family members always have a complicated relationship with each other.'

Crystal knew that almost all members of wealthy families did not get along with each other.

The reason was simple.

Inheritance!

Inheritance would give them a lot of money.

And everyone could change drastically because of money. If money was the source of happiness, it could be said that money was also the source of catastrophe.

"What about your father?" Crystal met his mother but never saw his father, so she was curious about his father.

"He has abandoned me." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. "I even don't remember the last time I met him."

From his predecessor's memories, his father had never met him after the accident ten years ago.

"What about your mother's family?" Crystal inquired.

"They abandoned us too. They even removed us from the family tree." Xiao Tian knew about this because his mother had told him about it.

In the past, his predecessor asked this question to his mother. He asked his mother why her family never visited them, and his mother stated the Ye family had removed them from the family tree.

Crystal never expected that Xiao Tian's life was so miserable. Not only did his father's family expel him from their family, but even his mother's family also did the same.

It was as if Xiao Tian was trash that needed to be removed from the family.

"They are so cruel to you." Crystal stated.

"It's fine. I no longer care about it because I can still have a good life without them." Xiao Tian had promised his predecessor that he would teach them a lesson in the future, but now was not the right time to do that.

He would make them regret kicking him out of their families. Maybe the reason why his predecessor desired to be a successful person was that he wanted to show the Ye and Xiao families that he could become a successful person and have a good life without them.

'I will slowly dominate the Shanghai market and become the richest person in China later.'

Now his Star Clothes company had thirty branches, and his Eternal Beauty company had sixty branches all over China.

When Xiao Tian snatched Eternal Beauty company from the Hong family, he already had forty branches, and in just one year, he had opened another thirty branches.

Aunt and mother also had the intention to open several branches of Star Restaurant. If it continued like this, Xiao Tian was sure he could control Shanghai before he turned thirty.

"So, what dream do you most want to achieve?" Crystal asked curiously.

"I want to be the richest person in the whole of China." Xiao Tian gave an honest answer.

"The richest person? Not the strongest martial artist?" because Xiao Tian was talented in martial arts, Crystal thought his dream was to be the strongest martial artist, but she was wrong.

'Even though he is a playboy, he is different from the others.'

Crystal was sure if someone had the same talent as him in martial arts, they would dream of being the strongest martial artist, but Xiao Tian was different.

He only wanted to be the wealthiest person. It was as if the title of strongest martial artist meant nothing in his eyes.

"Yes. I don't care about it because I have no intention of becoming the strongest martial artist. I just want to have the power to protect the people I care about." even though Xiao Tian practiced martial arts, he had no intention of becoming the strongest martial artist.

His predecessor only wanted to be a successful person, and he only wanted to spend time with his women, so the title of strongest martial artist meant nothing in his eyes.

For him, it was already enough as long as he could protect his women from bad people.

"I'm sure any martial artist would definitely say you are an idiot if they heard what you just said." Crystal stated.

Xiao Tian was not surprised by her words because it was true. For example, Zhao Sheng. His family did everything to get him to stop doing business because he was talented in martial arts.

Xiao Tian and Crystal then talked for another twenty minutes before finally, they slept. That night, Crystal knew a lot about Xiao Tian, and she felt as if they had become a close friend.

Of course, Xiao Tian didn't tell her everything because everyone had secrets that they could not tell anyone, including him.

-----

The following morning, Xiao Tian and Crystal had breakfast with Yu Shi and Kitahara Aki. At that time, Xiao Tian was startled because Yu Shi's behavior was different than usual.

Even though Yu Shi still wanted him to be Crystal's husband, but her way of making Xiao Tian and Crystal become husband and wife was different.

She behaved as if she was a mother who wanted to set her daughter up with him. What Xiao Tian didn't know was that she heard their conversation last night.

However, Xiao Tian had a different thought. He thought it was because he decided to help her find someone who could heal her wounds.

That was why Xiao Tian behaved normally. After breakfast, Xiao Tian, Crystal, and Yu Shi traveled to Red Flower bar because they wanted to meet Lan Ruoxi.

----

Red Flower Bar, Private Room.

Currently, Xiao Tian, Crystal, and Yu Shi were sitting on the couch. It was the same private room that Lan Ruoxi and Xiao Tian always used.

*Tak…Tak…Tak…Tak…

The sound of high heels slamming against the floor echoed in the private room.

"Oh! I didn't expect young master Xiao to come with his friends." Lan Ruoxi was startled when she saw Crystal and Yu Shi.

Previously, she thought they would go to Lian Xun's house immediately like usual, but she knew she was wrong because Xiao Tian came to her place with Crystal and Yu Shi.

After Lan Ruoxi sat on the couch, she looked at Xiao Tian and inquired, "So can you tell me the reason why you came to my place with your friends?"

"I came to your place with them because I have something important to say." Xiao Tian said with a serious face.

"What is it?" Lan Ruoxi asked curiously.

"I want you to be my lover today." Xiao Tian uttered.
