In his panic, he ran up the stairs where Ye Zhao was, but he stepped on the wet mud, slipped, and fell backward. Ye Zhao tried to help him, but it was too late.

With a thud, Jiang Ze fell to the ground, followed by a pig-like scream that echoed throughout the courtyard. Even Xiao Lin from the kitchen and Aunt Zhang, who was cleaning upstairs, ran out.

Fortunately, there were few customers in the store today; otherwise, it wouldn't have been good to disturb them.

Before Ye Zhao could even react to what he was trying to do, he saw him fall to the ground and quickly ran down to help him up.

"Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

Fei Ming pushed Jiang Che over and saw that Jiang Ze was covered in mud after falling, so he quickly went to help him up.

Jiang Ze kept groaning, "Ouch, it hurts so much! Does it hurt so much? Did I break my bones?"

Everyone else looked at him nervously, and Yang Juan was about to call 120, but Jiang Che said indifferently, "If you're not going to die, get up."

Jiang Ze's wails inexplicably subsided, and Ye Zhao's gaze fell on the two of them, silently observing them.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Che asked.

Everyone sensed that the two had an unusual relationship and remained silent.

Jiang Ze started wailing again: "It hurts so much! My back hurts so much! Did I break a bone?"

He kept his back to Jiang Che, seemingly ignoring Jiang Che's questions.

All that was heard from Jiang Che was that he said, "Do you want to experience what it feels like to have a broken bone?"

Xiaolin and Yang Juan exchanged a glance, probably not expecting Jiang Che to have this side to him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ze turned to him, indignant, and complained, "Can you please not be so brutal? I even threw myself..."

Before he could finish speaking, he abruptly stopped. Everyone saw the man who had just been lying on the ground groaning suddenly stand up, run to Jiang Che, and ask anxiously, "Why are you in a wheelchair? Who hurt your foot?"

Upon seeing this, Ye Zhao immediately said, "That was the day a child was riding a bicycle..."

Before Ye Zhao could finish explaining, Jiang Che interrupted her, saying, "I twisted my ankle by accident. Why are you here?"

His tone was calm, yet it gave off an indescribable sense of pressure.

Jiang Ze kept his head down and whispered, "I already told you, I'm going out to play for two days."

When Ye Zhao saw the two people sitting and standing, she suddenly realized that Aze had an older brother. Could Jiang Che be his older brother? She stared at the two of them with a look of surprise and doubt.

Jiang Che... he doesn't seem like that kind of person at all. You really can't judge a book by its cover. Ye Zhao shook her head regretfully, suddenly feeling a connection with Aunt Zhang's feelings last night.

Jiang Che didn't know what Ye Zhao was thinking, but he felt that the way she looked at him suddenly seemed a little strange.

He then looked at Jiang Ze and said, "Is this what I asked?"

After speaking, he turned to Ye Zhao and asked in a gentle tone, "You know him?"

When Jiang Ze fell, Ye Zhao's worried expression when she helped him up was genuine. Jiang Ze even leaned on her when he got up, while Fei Ming didn't lean on her, but leaned on Ye Zhao instead.

Before Ye Zhao could speak, Jiang Ze said, "Brother, have you forgotten? She is Ye Zhao."

As if afraid his brother wouldn't remember, he leaned closer and whispered, "It's Ye Zhao, the one who broke off her engagement with Shen Du four years ago!"

Ye Zhao? Jiang Che suddenly turned to look at her, his expression extremely complicated in that instant.

"Are you Ye Zhao?" he asked slowly.

Ye Zhao was a little confused, but still nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

The others also looked puzzled. They knew Jiang Che and Ye Zhao had known each other for the past few days, so why was the question asked as if they had suddenly forgotten each other?

Jiang Che couldn't understand it either. For a moment, his heart seemed to sink to the bottom, and his emotions were so complicated that they were hard to describe.

Jiang Ze, oblivious to his unease, looked at Ye Zhao and said, "Zhao Zhao, you've met my brother before, haven't you? Four years ago at Grandpa Shen's birthday banquet, I even had my brother bring you some things..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhao suddenly turned to look at Jiang Che, realizing that the two of them had indeed met before.

The others looked puzzled, but they vaguely understood. It turned out that the boss and President Jiang were old acquaintances. Xiao Lin sighed inwardly.

Jiang Che twitched the corner of his mouth and said gently, "So we really have met before."

Ye Zhao sighed, "I couldn't believe I hadn't remembered."

Jiang Ze finally realized something was wrong and looked at Fei Ming with a puzzled expression: "What do they mean?"

Fei Ming whispered a few words to him, and Jiang Ze listened with a surprised look. He wondered why his brother was here. So the two of them ran into each other here?

The flowers and plants swayed in the courtyard, their fragrance wafting through the air, and the people around the small table fell silent for a moment.

Jiang Ze got covered in mud and went back to his room to shower and change.

Ye Zhao washed some fruit and put it on the table, then brewed some tea before sitting down.

Jiang Che lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought, while Fei Ming was also processing what had just happened.

While peeling an apple, Ye Zhao asked, "So you're leaving soon?"

Jiang Che nodded: "Yes, I still have work to do when I get back."

"Will your foot be alright if you go back like this?" Ye Zhao still felt guilty when she thought about it.

Jiang Che shook his head and said, "It's alright, it'll be fine soon."

Ye Zhao said with great guilt, "I'm so sorry, it's all because of me that this happened, and I can't help you with anything."

"Don't feel guilty, it's not a big deal. I'll just go back and rest for a while."

Ye Zhao felt that Jiang Che seemed a little off, but seeing that he was smiling as he spoke, she thought it might just be her imagination.

She had no choice but to try and start a conversation, asking, "Is Aze going back with us too?"

Jiang Che paused for two seconds after hearing this, then nodded and said, "Yes, I have things to do at home."

Ye Zhao wisely refrained from asking any further questions, and the atmosphere quieted down for a moment.

Jiang Che was just thinking that he had heard Jiang Ze mention Ye Zhao's name more than once, but he never expected that after not seeing her for several years, he would not recognize Ye Zhao.

"The leaf of the tree, the radiance of Zhaoyang."

It turns out it's Zhao. If he had known it was Zhao earlier, would he have realized why she looked so familiar?

He couldn't quite tell if it was disappointment or some other emotion; in short, his feelings were somewhat complicated.

Ye Zhao didn't know what he was thinking, but she felt that Jiang Che was acting a little strange today.

Fei Ming had already forgotten the troubles he had on the way here. He was only surprised that Ye Zhao had such a good relationship with President Jiang, and that she had known President Jiang before. It seemed that Miss Ye's family background was probably not ordinary.

The group had different thoughts. Jiang Ze also finished getting ready and came downstairs, wearing a set of clothes that Fei Ming had just bought.

Before leaving, Jiang Ze turned around several times, looking at Ye Zhao with an unwilling expression, but then returned to normal when Jiang Che turned back.

Aunt Zhang watched the group walk away and couldn't help but sigh, "Those two brothers have such different personalities. Aze is such a good boy..."

She sighed as she said this.

Ye Zhao couldn't help but twitch as she recalled Jiang Ze's complaints about Jiang Che. It was better for Aunt Zhang not to know; if she did, she would probably regret it to the point of beating her chest in despair.
