Chapter 45 Why did Ye Shunian say Hua Yichen still...
Why is Hua Yichen said to be the matchmaker between the two?
Among the aristocratic families, there are not so many love-brained people like Gu Qi. It is rumored that the girl introduced to him by Old Man Gu is no ordinary person. She is a real strong woman with good family connections. She has known the value of the Gu family's land for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to Gu Qi's blind date when the news about Gu Qi and Le An was flying all over the place.
Who would have thought that Gu Qi, this prodigal son, would just give away such a good piece of land.
Since the land was gone, the blind date was of course off.
Since no one wanted to watch for the time being and his grandson kept running away and resisting, Grandpa Gu didn't have the time to care about it.
Whatever you want.
Everyone in the box knew Hua Yichen's temper, so they started to make a fuss at the beginning and everyone drank a glass of wine together.
Hua Yichen used to like lively scenes, but now he is not interested. Seeing that Hua Yichen is not interested, everyone will not go up to him to cause trouble.
Apart from receiving the look from time to time, Gu Qi wanted to stab him but was powerless to do so.
Hua Yichen felt quite comfortable at this party. At least he didn't have to actively deal with anyone.
The figure I saw on the first floor always appears in my mind from time to time, making me feel upset.
"Brother Chen, do you need to order one?" Zhao Xiujie saw Hua Yichen sitting alone in the corner of the box, and was afraid of neglecting him. Now that the process was halfway through and everyone was tired, the others suggested ordering a few people to accompany them for a drink and liven up the mood.
Just as Zhao Xiujie was telling Hua Yichen, the people for these second-generation rich to choose from had already come in. Both men and women were lined up in two rows.
"Hey, Brother Chen is here. Anyone interested? Drinking alone is so boring. Find someone to keep you company!"
Hua Yichen ignored Zhao Xiujie's words, his attention was attracted by someone.
Ye Shubai imitated Le An's outfit, appearing innocent. He lowered his head and blended into the crowd as he entered the private room. Before he could even stand still, he felt a burning gaze following him from the moment he entered. His heartbeat quickened, his chest pounding, and a faint sense of guilt welled up in his heart.
Not daring to act rashly, Ye Shubai suppressed his guilty conscience and quietly acted like a simple and innocent boy.
Gu Qi saw Ye Shubai at a glance, but he didn't recognize him. After all, who would believe that someone who was already kept by Young Master Hua dared to appear here openly, and dressed as a woman.
Even though Ye Shubai was dressed as a woman, he was the most conspicuous among the crowd, like a lotus in clear water appearing among ordinary flowers. Most eyes in the box were focused on him.
Hua Yichen couldn't let him mess around, so he stood up from the corner, took Ye Shubai's hand, and sat next to Gu Qi.
When Hua Yichen looked at Ye Shubai, he saw that besides pretending to be innocent, he would also glance at Gu Qi from time to time. It was obvious that Ye Shubai had gone to great lengths to come here today, and his purpose was to see Gu Qi.
Ye Shubai's hand was suddenly grabbed, and when he was shocked, he found that the person next to him with a cold and icy temperament was actually Master Hua. Just as he was thinking about how to explain to Hua Yichen, Hua Yichen took him to the target Gu Qi.
Zhao Xiujie: "Brother Chen has good taste. This is the most eye-catching one in this batch."
After Hua Yichen pulled the person to sit down, he let go of his hand and ignored Ye Shubai. He drank by himself and glanced at Zhao Xiujie who was approaching him. His sharp eyes swept over him like a knife.
Zhao Xiujie immediately became intimidated and said awkwardly, "Brother Chen, you're busy, I'll go choose one too."
Ye Shubai was originally trembling with fear and had been tense for a long time. Hua Yichen had been ignoring him. He gradually relaxed and found that he was now so close to the target person.
That’s right, Ye Shubai’s target is Gu Qi.
The private detective sent a message today that what he wanted is now with Gu Qi.
Like a magic trick, a small knife slid quickly into Gu Qi's pocket without anyone noticing, and the thing was in his hand.
Ye Shubai carefully put the thing he had just taken, a small black USB flash drive covered with gold, into his pocket. His nerves suddenly relaxed and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
Hua Yichen's posture was lazy, as if he was unconscious. Only he knew that he was always paying attention to the people beside him.
"Are you done?" Hua Yichen asked suddenly.
Ye Shubai knew that Hua Yichen was talking to him, so in order to avoid any trouble, he did not reply but just nodded slightly.
"I'm leaving first." Hua Yichen grabbed Ye Shubai's hand again, said something to Zhao Xiujie, and left.
Zhao Xiujie saw the clasped hands and smiled: "Okay, Brother Chen, have fun."
The voice was teasing. Hua Yichen knew that this little follower had misunderstood him, but he did not explain. What was more important now was to ask someone who was hiding a secret.
"Have you taken your driver's license test?"
"Just got it. Haven't driven it yet."
Hua Yichen understood and nodded: "That's fine."
The car keys arced and landed precisely in Ye Shubai's arms. Hua Yichen opened the passenger door and asked, "What are you standing there for? Get in the driver's seat and drive."
"Oh, okay, young master." Ye Shubai sat in the driver's seat somewhat awkwardly.
Hua Yichen saw Ye Shubai insert the car key and was busy for a long time but couldn't start the car. He leaned over and started the car.
Hua Yichen's charming profile appeared in front of him. Ye Shubai was stunned for a moment like a frightened little white rabbit. Hua Yichen smiled helplessly and fastened Ye Shubai's seat belt. Then, under the influence of alcohol, he leaned back and closed his eyes to rest to relieve his fatigue.
"Huh? You don't dare to open it?" Hua Yichen felt a while passed, looked sideways at Ye Shubai, and asked in confusion.
The voice was lazy and accompanied by hazy light and shadow. Hua Yichen, who was leaning on the seat, might be feeling uncomfortable. His long eyelashes like crow feathers trembled slightly, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and the smell of alcohol rose up and spread his face with a blush, like a fragile and beautiful elf.
Ye Shubai was fascinated by the sight. If Hua Yichen hadn't reminded him, he didn't know how long he would have been obsessed with the beauty!
There were no incidents afterwards. The two of them returned safely to their familiar large flat in the city center.
"Tell me, why are you there today?" Hua Yichen came out of the bathroom with his bathrobe open, wiping his hair with a towel in his hand.
Ye Shubai had been sitting stiffly on his bed in his bedroom when a statue-like figure appeared before him. Before he could even take in the details, Hua Yichen's words made him even more nervous.
Her fingers were so nervous that they wrinkled her white skirt.
Ye Shubai was so nervous that he couldn't say a word for a long time. He looked up quietly and found Hua Yichen looking at him patiently, as if he had to wait for his next words.
Finally unable to bear the pressure of his gaze, Ye Shubai spoke carefully: "Yes, I have something to do there."
"What's the matter? Don't even mention being a hostess?" Hua Yichen tried to guide the nervous Ye Shubai to speak, but when he thought about Ye Shubai actually going to such a dangerous place, alone, and wearing women's clothes, he became furious and spoke in a much heavier tone.
"It's not for making money, is it? I remember I didn't neglect your living expenses." Hua Yichen added, worried that his tone just now was not good.
Ye Shubai quickly denied it when he heard this: "No, no, the young master is very good to me.
Hua Yichen softened his tone: "So why did you go there?"
Hua Yichen hugged Ye Shubai into his arms, and her simple white dress spread out, like a delicate and beautiful peony.
"I've never seen you like this before, and you just went straight to the bar like that?"
I don’t know if it’s because of the clothes or something else, but his pretty face has softened a lot. If it weren’t for the fact that they had been together day and night for the past few days, Hua Yichen would not have been able to recognize Ye Shubai at a glance at that time and under that situation.
Seeing Hua Yichen looking at him in women's clothing, Ye Shubai's face burned, and he couldn't bring himself to speak. He just silently took out the USB drive from his bag and handed it to Hua Yichen.
Holding a small object in both hands, Shi Ran brought it to Hua Yichen. Hua Yichen picked it up and asked, "Is it for this thing?"
Ye Shubai nodded.
Hua Yichen: "Can I see it?"
Ye Shubai nodded obediently again.
"Come on! It's okay if you don't want to." Ever since the USB flash drive left Ye Shubai's sight, he has been looking at the thing with cautious eyes.
I think it is something very important.
Ye Shubai took the USB drive and found it on Hua Yichen's study computer.
A folder appeared on the computer desktop, with nothing in it except videos.
Ye Shubai's eyes were red and he stared at the videos with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could skin them alive.
The atmosphere grew heavy, and Ye Shubai's heavy hatred spread. Hua Yichen instantly realized that perhaps these videos concealed a very deep and painful past.
Ye Shubai held the mouse with trembling hands and finally clicked on one of the videos.
There are only two people in the picture, and they are both acquaintances.
One of them is the original protagonist Gu Qi.
another?
Hua Yichen glanced at Ye Shubai in his arms, then looked at the person in the video. They looked similar but not the same. The person in the video looked more mature than Ye Shubai, and his eyebrows and eyes were more like Le An.
Ye Shubai didn't notice Hua Yichen's actions at all. His eyes were fixed on the video screen, and he was so focused that he couldn't pay any attention to anything else.
The boy in the video who looks like Ye Shubai, under the oppression of Gu Qi, is struggling in pain, helplessness and despair, which extends from his lifeless eyes through the screen, continuously spreading and eroding people's emotions, plunging them into the abyss of despair.
Experience the pain of being unable to live or die.
He tried to escape again but his feet were firmly grasped and he was dragged back, the lifeless man finally crying out in pain.
"Click" the picture paused at the moment of escape, and there was no desperate cry. Ye Shubai's heart was beating wildly with the pain of the people in the picture. His whole body trembled slightly, and his fingers left the mouse, away from everything in front of him. He kept curling up backwards, trying to find a sense of security.
"Who is he?" Hua Yichen had been watching in silence until Ye Shubai completely shrank in his arms. He reached out and patted Ye Shubai's back gently until his heartbeat slowed down and his mood calmed down before asking.
Ye Shubai glanced sideways at Hua Yichen: "Master knows he is not me."
Ye Shubai's tone was affirmative, Hua Yichen said "hmm" and said no more.
Time is like sand in an hourglass, falling and passing away.
"He is my brother, Ye Shunian." Ye Shubai's hoarse voice sounded.
Hua Yichen was very patient and waited for Ye Shubai's next words.
"When my brother was in college, he was chosen by Gu Qi." Ye Shubai paused and glanced at Hua Yichen. "Just like the first time we met, he took my brother away directly."
"But how could my brother, who had finally been admitted to University A and had a bright future, agree? His reluctance aroused Gu Qi's competitive spirit. In the end, as you can see in the video, he didn't have a good life."
Ye Shubai's voice began to choke up. "The last time I saw my brother, he had lost a lot of weight. He had lost all his energy and spirit. He looked listless and lifeless. But he still smiled at me and told me about the interesting things he had experienced recently at school. Before he left, he left me a card, telling me to study hard, stay away from City A, and live a happy life in the future."
"But..." He sobbed completely and couldn't speak coherently.
Hua Yichen quickly patted Ye Shubai on the back, silently comforting him.
After calming down a bit, Ye Shubai poured out all the emotions buried deep in his heart.
"But...at that time, I...actually...actually...didn't know that it was my brother's final farewell."
"Clearly...clearly...his smile at that time..." Ye Shubai choked and coughed, his voice becoming even more sorrowful. "It was so much brighter than when we came. I...I thought my brother was in a better mood."
“It didn’t.”
Ye Shubai looked at Ye Shunian's face on the computer screen: "He just wants to be free."
