"Impossible, it can't be him!"

Xiaoxi immediately jumped up, her loud voice drawing the attention of those around her.

Ye Yichen gestured for her to speak softly, "Xiaoxi, I was just guessing, your reaction is a bit too much."

The reason Xiaoxi was so loud was that she was trying her best to deny another thought in her heart: Could it really be her older brother?

She fell silent, lowered her head, and took out her phone, wondering if it would be enough to just confirm it.

She immediately sent a text message, "Yuanzhen, what has my older brother been doing these past few days?"

Yuan Zhen immediately replied to the message, "Didn't your older brother say he was going back to Shanghai to apologize to you? He hasn't come back yet."

What? Xiaoxi was stunned. A few days ago, her older brother brought a lot of roses to school, which made her a laughing stock among her classmates and teachers. But her older brother persisted and actually chased after her to her fourth brother to talk to her.

It seems like things ended badly back then. Didn't she say she accepted her brother's apology? Why is he still staying in Shanghai? What is he trying to do?

Was it really just to help her deal with those holdout residents? What was the older brother's purpose then? Was it still for the treasure?

The word "难道" should be removed.

With Xiaoxi thinking this way, even a fancy meal tasted bland.

Seeing that Xiaoxi was not in a good mood, Ye Yichen wanted to comfort her. What he really wanted to say was: If it was really his older brother who helped solve the problem, it was because his older brother wanted to ease the tension between him and you.

But he ultimately didn't say it.

Ye Yichen learned from his fourth brother that his eldest brother had come to Shanghai a few days ago, bringing a lot of yellow roses to apologize, which supposedly made Xiaoxi feel very embarrassed at the school gate.

Anyway, the eldest brother's apology failed. Ye Yichen couldn't help but laugh when he imagined the scene. Although the fourth brother said that Xiao Xi verbally accepted the eldest brother's apology, she definitely didn't forgive him in her heart.

Ye Yichen sighed. His elder brother had made mistakes from the beginning, hurting Xiaoxi emotionally. It would be a long and arduous road to mend their relationship. He silently lit a candle for his elder brother in his heart.

However, this was a matter between Xiaoxi and her older brother. As an outsider, he couldn't offer any more advice because he knew Xiaoxi's personality; once she became stubborn, nothing could sway her.

Xiaoxi also has her own choices and ideas.

Xiaoxi and her seventh brother finished dinner quickly. Since her seventh brother had a lot to do, she didn't ask him to stay any longer.

She went straight back to Guangda Street.

After the Spring Festival, Ye Zhongnan bought a detached courtyard house on Guangda Street. He consulted Xiaoxi's preferences, as Xiaoxi liked a quiet, detached courtyard house that would be convenient for her to build.

I used to live in a rented place, but since I'm determined to develop Guangda Street, I naturally want to buy a house.

Xiaoxi came back tonight without saying hello to her second brother because she was in a bad mood and was afraid that her second brother would notice and worry.

Besides, the original inhabitants of that land suddenly moved away today, and my second brother will definitely nag her for ages.

Xiaoxi went straight back to her room on the second floor and fell into deep thought on the deck chair on the terrace.

The conflict with those holdout residents occurred three days ago, and what should have been a trending topic on social media the next day was suppressed.

This must have been done by the eldest brother. No wonder there was no sound of water. If you want to block a hotspot, how much money would you have to spend?

These are all secondary issues. The key question is how her older brother knew immediately that she had a conflict with those people? It's as if her older brother had installed a surveillance camera on her.

Xiaoxi jumped up immediately. She guessed right; it must have been a friend who sold her information to her older brother.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, Xiaoxi will immediately investigate to find out the truth, otherwise she won't be able to sleep tonight.
