"Uncle Wen, I beg you, let me go in and see my mother, Uncle Wen." Xu Zi clung to the sleeves of the housekeeper Uncle Wen and begged.

Uncle Wen pulled back his sleeves coldly. He had lost his usual respect for this First Miss who had been driven out of the gate of the Xu family.

He raised his chin high and squeezed out a word from his nostrils. "Old Madam said that the gate of the Xu family is no longer open for you. You can go. First Madam is ill, and we will ask a doctor to treat her."

After that, Uncle Wen turned around and left. He ordered the security guards, "Close the door!"

"Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen..." Xu Zi rushed forward, but was pushed out by the security guard.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the gate of the Xu family was mercilessly closed by the security guard.

Xu Zi rushed to the door, shook it hard, and begged, "Please open the door. Let me go in and see my mom. Please."

No one paid attention to her.

Xu Zi's voice was a little hoarse.

After a long while, she turned around in pain and fell into a man's arms. She was so shocked that she stepped back and almost fell. The man hooked her waist with his big hand to prevent her from kissing the ground.

Looking up, she met a pair of dark eyes.

After being stunned for a while, Xu Zi came to her senses and quickly got rid of his support. She took two steps back and looked down at the ground, taking this opportunity to adjust her mood. Soon, she looked up and politely thanked the man, "Shaoyu, thank you for what you did just now."

It was the old neighbor of the Xu family who supported her. He was also the Fourth Young Master of the Leng family, Leng Shaoyu. Leng Shaoyu and Xu Zi had known each other since they were young. They grew up together and could be regarded as childhood sweethearts. However, Leng Shaoyu often bullied Xu Zi.

Leng Shaoyu pursed his lips and said nothing. After staring at her for a long time, he looked up at the tightly closed door, and his handsome face was full of uncertainty.

"What's going on?"

Xu Zi followed his gaze and looked at the gate of the Xu family. With pain in her eyes, she whispered, "My mother is sick. I want to go in and have a look at her, but I can't go in."

Frowning, Leng Shaoyu tightened his lips and shifted his gaze from the door to Xu Zi. He asked coldly, "How did you know that your mother is ill?"

"Xu Yan told me." Xu Yan was the daughter of her second uncle, one year younger than her.

Leng Shaoyu snorted heavily. "When you were kicked out of the house, your old woman said that no one was allowed to talk to you again. Xu Yan, on the other hand, has a deep relationship with you."

She deliberately told her that her mother was seriously ill and worried about her, but she could do nothing when she returned home.

Hearing the meaning of his words, Xu Zi felt sad. She had been driven out of the house. How could she threaten her cousin's status?

"Let's go."

Leng Shaoyu suddenly held her hand.

Xu Zi, like a frightened bird, quickly shook off his big hand and took a few steps back, successfully attracting the cold glare of Leng Shaoyu.

"Shao, Shaoyu, where are we going?" Xu Ziqiang looked at him calmly.

Leng Shaoyu looked at her sinisterly. He pursed his thin lips and did not like to answer her questions.

A few minutes later, he walked past her and said coldly, "Your mother is not in the Xu family home. She is seriously ill this time. She has been sent to the Central Hospital for a long time."

A look of anticipation appeared on Xu Zi's face. Her mother was not at the Xu family home. Could she meet her mother?

Leng Shaoyu deliberately attacked her and continued, "Your grandma sent someone to guard her. Without your grandma's permission, you can't see her. I wanted to take you to see her, but since you rejected my kindness so much, I won't meddle in it. After all, our families are mortal enemies, and we don't have any neighbor friendship."
