"After all, when Xiao Jing was very young, we ignored her and were busy with our own things."

When Xu Chengsui thinks about it now, he only feels regret.

"At that time, my parents had an accident and passed away. The family was torn apart. The uncles and aunts who were usually very kind to us turned around and wanted to snatch the property left by my parents at their funeral. There was a huge quarrel and they even took over our house."

Xu Chengsui still remembers the days when he slept on the streets. Later, his eldest brother worked hard and negotiated with relatives at home using things that originally belonged to them. They lived a stable life for a few years. But for the still young Xiaojing, they always threw game consoles to coax him, asking him to play by himself and not to bother them.

After a while, I didn't expect that games became a part of my brother's life.

"If I were given another chance, I would never treat Xiao Jing like this. Even if I had to skip classes and repeat a grade, I would protect him well and not let others call him a 'bastard'."

At this point, Xu Chengsui crushed the blue and white porcelain cup in his hand. "If Xiao Jing hadn't told me about these things, I wouldn't have known anything. I thought the injuries he got every now and then were caused by him being out in the wild. I didn't expect... I didn't expect this."

The more he spoke, the sadder and more upset he felt. Even his voice became hoarse. He no longer looked like a top superstar.

"When Xiao Jing comes back, I will apologize to him. After all, I ignored him."

Xu Chengsui sighed lightly and returned to the room. Xu Nuo looked at the prepared dishes on the table and the pork ribs stewed with tea tree mushrooms that had been simmering for an hour, and fell silent. However, he quickly perked up again, threw the dishes into the trash can, called the assistant who had been waiting outside, and asked her to help him buy the ingredients for the hot pot.

"Fourth Brother loves hot pot the most, so you must choose the best and most expensive ingredients. I'll wait for him to come back for dinner tonight."

"Yes, Miss."

After the assistant finished speaking, he asked someone to go downstairs and prepare.

Night falls and the lights come on.

There were no stars tonight, and the sky was filled with thick dark clouds, which made the evening breeze cooler. However, inside Xu Nuo's big villa, it was warm.

She spent an entire afternoon preparing the hot pot. Whether it was making the pot base or washing and picking vegetables, cutting meat, or arranging the dishes, she did it all by herself.

When the hot pot is boiled, the aroma of red chili oil and the deliciousness of bone soup emanate, which is very tempting.

Xu Chengfeng and Xu Chengsui were also called down from upstairs by Xu Nuo. They were sitting at the dining table, waiting for someone.

Xu Chengsui glanced at Xu Chengfeng sitting in the main seat, then looked at the watch on his wrist, and finally asked Xu Nuo.

"What time did you meet Xiao Jing?"

"7pm."

"But it's already 8 o'clock, why hasn't anyone come yet?"

Xu Nuo didn't know either, "Maybe he was delayed on the way. Fourth brother said he would be back tonight."

If he promised her, he would definitely do it.

The three of them continued to wait until the time reached 10 o'clock in the evening. The soup in the hot pot turned cold from boiling. Xu Chengfeng threw away his chopsticks and called his assistant.

"Go ask the people who followed Lao Si where he is now!"

Assistant Chen took the order and went downstairs. Less than five minutes later, he came back, and his face was extremely pale.

He had been following Xu Chengfeng for several years and had seen a lot of ups and downs, but the news he had just received still frightened him.

"Young Master, Third Young Master, and Young Miss, the Fourth Young Master was in a car accident and is in the hospital."
