Because Xie Zhiyan was courting death and throwing a tantrum at Hua Jian at home, the two brothers of the Xie family were very gentle towards Hua Jian.

Even Mrs. Hua's expression was not so cold anymore.

As expected, Hua Jian’s excellence is entirely due to Xie Zhiyan’s contrast.

The Xie family has no rule of not talking while eating.

Although the head of the Xie family was a scholar, he was very talkative and he kept talking about Xie Zhiyan throughout the meal.

From the way he spent money lavishly on forming a band to the way he missed classes so many times that the dean called home.

Also, Xie Zhiyan’s hair color is weird, his clothes are inappropriate, etc.

The two brothers of the Xie family did not tell him that Xie Zhiyan was going to sell his shares, otherwise everyone would not have to eat and would be full just by listening to him talk.

Xie Zhiwei put down his chopsticks calmly, "Dad, when you come back from not being home for a long time, spend some time with Auntie. You've never taken care of Zhiyan's affairs since he was a child. He's grown up now and has his own opinions. I'm afraid you can't control him even if you want to. Why bother yourself?"

Mr. Xie's voice stopped abruptly, his face flushed, but he knew that his eldest son was right.

Xie Zhiyan's first wife died when he was very young.

At that time, he was busy having love affairs with various women, and of course he had no time to get close to Xie Zhiyan.

Xie Zhiyan ate in silence, and Mrs. Hua looked calm. However, Hua Jian looked around and felt that there seemed to be some melon to eat.

After Xie Zhiwei finished speaking, he looked at the third brother and Hua Jian and couldn't help but sigh.

It would be better if their personalities could be balanced.

One is too noisy, the other is too quiet.

But this quiet one has become more interesting now.

"The Xie and Bo companies have partnered on a project that's a top priority for the next three years. Next month is the Bo family's old man's 70th birthday party, and our whole family is attending. Third brother, from now on, you're going home and staying away from those bad friends."

Xie Zhiyan, who had been indifferent to the matter, exploded when he heard it, "No, I'm living well outside, I won't go home to live."

[That's right, isn't letting Xie Zhiyan go home like that? Why would he be Shu Yao's lapdog if he were to go home?]

As soon as he expressed his thoughts, the expressions of the others except Xie's father changed.

Mrs. Hua clenched her chopsticks and looked up at the boy opposite her.

Although he was still dressed the same way, Mrs. Hua felt that her gloomy and taciturn son had changed.

"If you don't want to go home, just leave your card at home, just like Xiao Jian."

"Second brother! How can you say that? I am your biological brother, and he is just a burden..."

Xie Zhitan said unhappily, "Zhiyan, where are your manners?"

[That's right, that's why Big Brother is so nice. He even gives me pocket money even though I'm a burden! I'm also supporting Big Brother today!]

Mrs. Hua had a strange look on her face. When did Hua Jian become so close to the eldest and second eldest brothers?

[Besides, the pocket money my second brother gave me was the result of my own hard work. If I hadn't told my second brother that Xie Zhiyan and Tan Xilin were fighting because of Shu Yao, I'm afraid my second brother would have been entangled by Shu Yao as well.]

Xie Zhitan glanced at him distractedly, and when he turned around to talk to Xie Zhiyan again, he saw that Xie Zhiyan had exploded like a cannonball.

Good, very good!

It turns out that it was Hua Jian, that little bastard, who reported it!

Xie Zhiyan was so angry that his chest was shaking. "You guys are trying to stop me from selling my own shares. You just dislike me anyway. Have you forgotten that I am your biological brother, and Hua Jian is just a burden brought along by this woman?"

Xie Zhitan's face turned completely cold, and the warmth on his face completely disappeared when he was not smiling.

"Xie Zhiyan, you're really becoming more and more confused!"

Confused, Xie's father asked, "What shares are you selling?"

Xie Zhiwei: "Third brother, come upstairs with me."

Xie Zhiyan shouted excitedly, "I'm not going! Give me back my shares! Since you don't treat me as your brother, I'm going to cut ties with you now! I want to start a company for Shu Yao! Don't worry about my business!"

[How foolish! How could Xie Zhiyan not understand that he wasn't even considered a suitor to Shu Yao?]

Shu Yao slept with Cui Zhao, carefully coaxed Qin Ci, and flirted with Lu Zexi. Tan Xilin was of higher status than him, and he was just an ATM at best!

[Now you're actually going to cut off ties with your own brother for a man like Shu Yao? ]

[It's probably because he's so confused and his elder brother is busy with the company's bankruptcy that he had to send him to a mental hospital. Otherwise, he would have been killed by Shu Yao's other suitors!]

"Cough cough cough!"

As the three brothers were listening to Hua Jian's thoughts in shock and anger, Mrs. Hua suddenly burst into a startling cough.

"Yingrou, are you okay? Someone, get some water for Madam!"

Father Xie stood up with a worried look on his face and patted Madam Hua's back.

Mrs. Hua's face turned red from coughing. She couldn't believe what she had heard.

The Xie family is going bankrupt? What's going on? What happened? Huh?

Because of her interruption, Xie Zhiyan's accumulated courage disappeared without a trace.

Xie Zhiwei was quick to pull him upstairs.

But Mr. Xie was worried about Mrs. Hua and insisted that she go to rest.

In a blink of an eye, only Hua Jian and Xie Zhitan were left in the restaurant.

Xie Zhitan sighed almost imperceptibly: "Has Xiao Jian finished eating?"

Hua Jian nodded, "I've finished eating, second brother."

"Okay then. We'll go back to school later and ask the driver to take you there."

After saying that, he also prepared to go upstairs.

[That’s right.]

[Should I tell my second brother Qin Ci about his racing injury?]

Xie Zhitan paused.

When Qin Ci was injured, Shu Yao only paid lip service to his concern but took no real action.

[But even so, Qin Ci was still moved like an idiot. If the second brother also went to visit Qin Ci, would Qin Ci take into account their friendship at this time and be more gentle with the second brother in the future?]
