Find someone
"I know I was wrong. Where is he? I'll go and apologize." Ye Jing'an asked.
"I don't know. I called him more than 30 times to invite him to dinner, but he didn't answer any of them." Ye Jingning said.
"..." Ye Jingan narrowed his eyes and glared at her, "You're talking nonsense to me!"
"Do you need to be blown up for your bad behavior?" Ye Jingning sneered, "You told dad you were heartbroken. Who else do you love besides Brother Liu? Is there anyone else who can make you faint from crying besides Brother Liu? Even if I, your sister, died, you wouldn't even faint from crying!"
"How come I can see it... Is it obvious?" Ye Jing'an muttered softly.
"The first time you brought Brother Liu to see me, you were drunk and sat on his lap, hugging his neck and acting like a hooligan. As long as Brother Liu was next to you, you stared at him and never moved away, and stuck to Brother Liu like a slug. I gave you a bracelet, and you showed it off in the group for more than two weeks as if it was like you were punching in at work. When others stared at Brother Liu for a while, you blocked them aggressively, as if someone was trying to steal you... Aren't these obvious?" Ye Jingning said helplessly.
"Then do you think Brother Liu likes me?" Ye Jing'an asked.
"Uh... looking at his expression that day, it seems like he likes you. But I really can't figure out what's so worthy of his love for you. With Brother Liu's conditions, what kind of man can't he find? Even if he likes men, I guess he likes mature and stable ones, not you. It must be annoying to like you!" Ye Jingning looked at Ye Jingan with disdain, "Oh! I guess it's because my father or grandfather saved his life, so Brother Liu wanted to repay the favor and treat you well without asking for anything in return. Yes, that must be it! There is no other reason, unless he is blind."
"Are you really my sister? How can you belittle your brother like this? When I was in school, I was no worse than others in terms of study, sports, and appearance. There were a lot of people who liked me!" Ye Jing'an retorted.
"It's not that I look down on you. If you were someone else, I might still think they're not worthy of you." Ye Jingning sighed, "Our family's business has offended many people who practice sorcery, and they're all targeting you as the successor to the Ye family. Dad told me a long time ago to keep an eye on the people around you. Brother Liu happened to run into you when you left the house. I looked him up everywhere, but I couldn't find anything suspicious. You're really lucky to have met him."
Ye Jingan said with a smile: My ancestor has a destiny.
Ye Jingning continued, "Brother Liu owns sixteen orphanages. Many of them are located in remote areas with no one to support them, so Brother Liu pays for the orphans himself. He also regularly sends money to poor children in mountainous areas who are ignored by everyone to support their education. Brother Liu does all these good deeds under a pseudonym. Have you heard him mention it?"
"He is indeed low-key. I only found out about these things after I went to the orphanage with him." Ye Jingan said.
Ye Jingning showed him a few more photos, which were taken in the largest auction house in the city. The third photo was of a lavender bracelet.
Ye Jingning told him that this was the finale treasure of the auction. In the summer, you can carry it with you even if you have central air conditioning and you won’t feel hot. It can also ward off evil spirits. People at the auction house were crazy about it.
Ye Jingan felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a long time.
Ye Jingning told him that there was a very mysterious seller in the auction house, who no one had ever seen. He would show up every once in a while, and every time he showed up, he would bring some rare treasures.
"When I first met Brother Liu, on the day we were drinking and you were acting like a hooligan, I saw that he was wearing this bracelet. I suspected that he was the seller," said Ye Jingning.
"Oh, I remember. I touched this bracelet once before, and it was indeed icy cold." Ye Jing'an laughed inwardly. This bracelet was stolen from that evil craftsman. He guessed right. Brother Liu had indeed stolen someone else's treasure and sold it for money. He was indeed his ancestor, so good at business!
Ye Jingan remembered that when he went to the orphanage, Brother Liu handed Mother Li a bank card, and said to Ye Jingning! "That should be Brother Liu. He sent the money to the orphanage."
"Well, do you know how much that chain fetched?"
"How many?"
"Selling your sister and her company together would be enough to buy it."
"Uh..." Ye Jing'an looked at her with disdain, "Then you... aren't worth much."
"Get lost, the agate on your hand is more expensive!" Ye Jingning said.
Ye Jingan rolled up his sleeves and boasted in front of Ye Jingning, "Look how much Brother Liu likes me. He's willing to give this to me. I also have a company under my control. Are you envious?"
"Is it possible that he is so rich that he can just give these things away casually?" Ye Jingning sneered, "He also knows talismans and can bring a dead person like you back to life. He is probably more powerful than grandpa and dad."
"Of course not!" Ye Jing'an thought to himself: If the founder of the Ye family is not powerful, who else can be powerful?
"I, your sister, can barely be considered a rare talent, but I'm still far behind Brother Liu. You're not even half as good as me, so how can you be worthy of him?" Ye Jingning said.
"You were still in school at eighteen, weren't you? Wait until I'm twenty-six and see if I can beat you. What a boast!" Ye Jing'an thought about it. He really wasn't worthy of Brother Liu in his current situation. But Brother Liu had lived for hundreds of years, so it wasn't unusual for him to have some savings. If he lived as long as Brother Liu, he might not be much worse off than him.
Ye Jingning patted his head and reminded him, "Wake up and stop daydreaming! Sooner or later, you will stop thinking about it. Don't get caught up in it and come to me crying and screaming again."
"Don't worry about it! Go back to your company and work, and stop bothering me! Don't tell dad and grandpa that I like Brother Liu!" Ye Jingan was upset and drove her out.
"I'm too embarrassed to say anything about you doing this! Dad is urging me to get married every day now. Don't blame me later, saying that I can't find a man so I can help you find one!" Ye Jingning said unhappily, "Brother Liu, I'll help you find one. You just stay at home and recover from your injuries."
"Don't let Dad meet Brother Liu, otherwise he will definitely match you two up!" Ye Jing'an said.
"Don't worry, I don't like Brother Liu. He is too cold. He hardly says a word a day and doesn't seem to like playing. I would be suffocated to death if I were with him. You can keep him for yourself!" Ye Jingning said.
"No, Brother Liu looks cold, but he's actually quite cute. He talks a lot and has a lot of ideas in his head, but he really keeps them to himself, so we have to guess." Ye Jing'an pondered for a moment, "He really doesn't play games or anything like that. When he's bored, he likes to read a book or take a walk, or play with his treasures. He's not like you who spends his time drinking and partying."
"Brother Liu is cute!?" Ye Jingning laughed strangely, "What the hell? How is he cute?! Have you wasted more than ten years of studying? Is cute the way to describe him like this?"
"You don't have much contact with him, so you don't understand! He usually acts serious and solemn, and it's hard to discover his little tricks." Ye Jing'an said.
"Really? Tell me how cute it is?" Ye Jingning suddenly became interested.
"Why should I tell you? Are you trying to snatch me away?" Ye Jing'an glared.
"Tsk, everyone wants you, Brother Liu! Everyone wants to snatch you away!" Ye Jingning sneered, "I can't get it. I'd never like this, it's boring!"
"Brother Liu is so nice! You don't even like him!" Ye Jing'an said.
"Okay, very good! You are not worthy of her, forget it." Ye Jingning waved his hand and walked out of the house.
"Go back to the company quickly and don't bother me!" Ye Jingan said.
"I'm telling you, the hospital sent me a message. You need to stay in bed and rest for more because of your current injury. I'll go find Brother Liu for you, so don't go out and wander around! If I find out that you sneak out, I won't look for you." Ye Jingning warned.
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and lie down now!" Ye Jing'an walked back to his room.
After staying at home for a day, he couldn't stand this torment any longer and ran out to find Liu Muze. The world is so big, who knows where Brother Liu is?
Ye Jingan thought that Brother Liu was nostalgic, and that he would carefully preserve the apology letter and the little things he sent him along with the things his ancestors had given him. He must still care about him a little bit, right? Would he miss the things they had experienced together and go back to the places they had been to?
Ye Jingan thought of the place where they first met. It was surrounded by mountains and water and very quiet. It was a place that Brother Liu would like. Would he stay at Aunt Li's house to adjust his mood?
Ye Jingan took a taxi to Aunt Li's house. The environment here was still as quiet as ever. The damp and cold air that hit him was mixed with the fragrance of pine wood, which was refreshing. Ye Jingan took a deep breath, and his depressed mood was immediately relieved. He knocked on Aunt Li's door.
"Who's there? You're here..." Aunt Li opened the door and was a little surprised to see Ye Jing'an. "It's Xiaoye! Come in and sit down! How come you have time to come to my house today? I'll make you some delicious food!"
"Thank you, Auntie. Sorry to bother you." Ye Jing'an said.
"Xiao Ye, did something happen to you? You don't look very well. Why are you unhappy?" Aunt Li asked.
Ye Jingan was silent for a moment and then said, "Aunt Li, has Brother Liu ever been to your place? The long-haired boy who was with us at that time."
"No, what's wrong with him?" Aunt Li asked.
"I made him angry, and he... didn't want to see me." Ye Jing'an lowered his head.
"Oh no! I thought it was a big deal. Conflicts are common. Wait for him to calm down after a few days, and then you can go and apologize." Aunt Li said with a smile.
"This is not an ordinary conflict, and it doesn't seem like it can be resolved with a simple apology." Ye Jing'an said with a wry smile.
"Is that so? Then talk to your auntie and I'll help you think of a solution." Auntie Li said.
"I..." Ye Jingan couldn't say it.
"It's okay, there's no one else here, and Auntie won't tell anyone else." Aunt Li comforted.
Ye Jingan lowered his eyes and muttered softly: "I...I like him, he was mad and left."
Aunt Li's expression became complicated. She slowly sat down on the sofa and didn't speak for a long time.
