Chapter 15 He always thought that Ye Man hated him walking on the road...

The surveillance video was imported into Chi Yan's computer.

Chi Jue walked around behind Chi Yan and watched it again with him.

In the picture, Ye Man has been fidgeting since Chi Jue left, which is completely different from the arrogant and domineering attitude she had when Chi Jue was around.

When Chi Jue was around, he would say he was hungry, then thirsty, and call Chi Jue to run errands for him. Seeing that he liked snacks and drinks, Chi Jue put everything next to him before leaving, thinking that Ye Man would be happy to stay there and eat after he left.

Maybe she would even mutter a few curses to him while eating, secretly planning in her heart how she would put on a show of innocently looking at Chi Jue when she saw her elder brother and parents.

Chi Jue thought calmly.

After spending some time together, he could already clearly guess Ye Man's every move in his mind.

I can even roughly imagine what he will say, what tone he will use, and what actions he will take.

"Brother Chi Jue left me alone. It must be because I did something wrong to make him angry. It's definitely not because he hates me that he ignores me on purpose..."

Chi Jue raised the corner of his mouth, feeling more amused than angry.

Maybe also show how pitiful and helpless he is.

He seemed to be speaking for Chi Jue, but actually he was blaming Chi Jue overtly and covertly for not taking good care of him.

In short, he never mentioned that Chi Jue had said goodbye to him and said he would be away for a while, and he was considerate and said that it was fine for him to be alone.

The first time he was framed by the other party, Chi Jue suppressed his anger and watched him act coldly.

Ye Man had just returned home and didn't know his family well enough, so he didn't know that the Chi family was not the kind of fools who would suspect Chi Jue just because of a few words from him.

Although Chi Jue is a fake young master, he grew up under the watchful eyes of the Chi family. Everyone in the family understands Chi Jue's character and personality, and knows that he would not do such a crude thing.

They followed Ye Man's words and gently reprimanded Chi Jue, asking him to apologize to Ye Man. It was only because he came home to take care of Ye Man, and because of the guilt of living away from home for so many years, he just followed his words to comfort him.

In fact, no one would believe what Ye Man said.

Even the servants in the house thought his trick was crude, despicable and pitiful.

Where is Ye Man?

He seemed to be completely unaware that the Chi family treated Chi Jue as they should treat a relative, and instead treated him with a distance, showing alienation and courtesy, as if he really thought that his family doted on him.

Relying on his status as the real young master, he took advantage of the Chi family's absence to order Chi Jue around.

Chi Jue would usually go along with him a little, but not completely. Then Ye Man would lose his temper and whisper viciously in his ear, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, calling him a thief. When Chi Jue looked over with anger, Ye Man would cry out and fall, pretending that Chi Jue had pushed him.

He acted very well and it was heart-wrenching to watch.

Unfortunately, the servants at home didn't believe that Chi Jue would bully him, so his performance was useless.

Everyone looked at him coldly. Chi Jue said nothing, and no one was even willing to take the initiative to go over and help him up.

Chi Jue also stood there silently, waiting for Ye Man to find that no one was paying attention to him and he could not continue to act, so he would get up dejectedly. Then he would save his dignity and sob and say something like "It's not Chi Jue's fault, it's my own carelessness".

Ye Man still had some brains and knew that some things had to be said behind people's backs and only to Chi Jue.

Chi Jue had not told his parents and elder brother about these things. Ye Man could handle this little trick by himself. The relationship between the two was already complicated. Qin Fangrui had been afraid to go home for several days because of the awkward atmosphere at home. There was no need to add to the troubles of the family.

The turning point came one evening.

During the day, Ye Man took advantage of the fact that no one was around to make things difficult for Chi Jue. When people came, he pretended to be bullied by Chi Jue. Of course, he returned empty-handed and ended up in disappointment.

Chi Jue felt that this wasn't going to work, so that night he went straight to Ye Man's room without even saying hello.

According to his thinking, he had already said all the nice things and reasons, but Ye Manyu refused to listen. If he wanted him to calm down and stop causing trouble, he had to use a tough approach.

It's easy to deal with someone like Ye Man. He looks strong but is weak inside. He bullies the weak and fears the strong. He will behave himself with a little threat or intimidation.

Most other wealthy families treated the restless illegitimate children in the Fu family in the same way. Ye Man's identity was different, but his style of doing things was... similar.

However, when Chi Jue opened the door, he saw Ye Man, who was only wearing a dark blue silk pajamas, kneeling on the ground with bare legs, groping for something.

The boy was holding an empty plastic bag in his hand. The things that were originally in the bag, such as iodine, medical cotton swabs, and blood-dissolving cream, were scattered all over the floor.

The iodine cap was twisted off, and the bottle rolled down to his hand. The dark liquid spilled along the edge of the bed and soiled the carpet.

Chi Jue took a quick look and saw a swollen bruise on Ye Man's knee.

He stood there, his mind flashing with the words Ye Man had said during the day.

He thought he was pretending to be pitiful again, sobbing and saying that his knee hurt. The two of them were used to the same trick, and Chi Jue just felt impatient, and even thought about warning him at night when no one was around.

But he didn't expect that Ye Man's knee was really injured.

What did he say when he was crying in pain?

He said, "Don't pretend, everyone saw you fall."

As expected, Ye Man looked depressed, wiped away her tears unwillingly, and climbed up by herself.

No one mentioned the incident again for the rest of the day, and I didn't notice anything unusual.

Chi Jue didn't know how he managed to look like he had fallen badly but actually had no injuries at all. He thought that since he was so skilled, he must have some unique skills like a veteran. Otherwise, he couldn't really cripple himself just to hurt others, right?

...He really doesn't have any skills at all.

Although he is small in stature, he has many thoughts in mind. He is honest just when he needs to be careful.

Chi Jue stared at Ye Man's legs.

Ye Man's skin was pale and the swelling was particularly frightening. Thinking of how he had used such a swollen knee and jumped around all day as if nothing had happened, Chi Jue's face suddenly became frighteningly gloomy.

Among the Chi brothers, Chi Yan was known to be a cold-faced fierce man, while Chi Jue was known to be more gentle and polite. However, at that time, he looked even worse than Chi Yan.

Hearing someone coming in, Ye Man panicked and tried to cover up the mess he had made, but soon realized that he couldn't hide it at all. The little blind boy started to grumble, covering his face with his hands and preparing to push it onto Chi Jue: "Just now, brother Chi Jue suddenly came here and had a quarrel with me. He accidentally dirtied the room. Don't blame him..."

She didn't mention her leg injury, nor did she take the opportunity to frame Chi Jue. Instead, she was eager to put the blame on him for the unimportant matter of dirtying the room.

Chi Jue said in a calm voice: "Ye Man, it's me."

Ye Man was interrupted when she was about to cry.

When Chi Jue walked over, Ye Man thought that he had finally been pissed off, and that he wanted to beat him up secretly since no one was around and he couldn't resist.

He is a bad person, but he is spineless and used to changing his attitude according to the situation. If the enemy is weak, he will act arrogantly, but if the enemy is strong, he will be the younger brother among the younger brothers. He is flexible and adaptable, and he always responds to changes according to circumstances.

If a fist hits you, isn't it you who are hurt? What does dignity mean?

His tears were welling up, and when Chi Jue came over and held his calf, he was ready to cry and scream.

As a result, Chi Jue did not take the opportunity to beat him up. Instead, he picked up the bottle that he had accidentally knocked over and asked him in a sluggish tone, "Which medicine should I apply first?"

Ye Man was like a balloon that had been deflated. Her cries were suppressed in her throat and she looked a little uninterested.

It turns out that I wasn't going to beat him.

The energy for the ultimate skill was wasted and cannot be used.

He didn't answer, so Chi Jue patiently asked again, but Ye Man just kept repeating as if he had done something wrong: "The carpet is dirty, and the quilt... I also made the quilt dirty..."

Chi Jue responded casually.

"Why don't you just ask Auntie Zhou to wash it later and ask someone to replace it with a new one for you, or just throw this one away..."

Chi Jue's voice paused slightly.

To realize something belatedly.

He felt that dirtying the room was much more serious than the injuries he suffered?

......

Monitoring screen.

Those small cakes that Ye Man had guarded like a miser seemed to have lost their appeal to him in an instant. Ye Man ignored the snacks on the table and hadn't touched a single bite since Chi Jue left. Even his hair was filled with gloom.

As Chi Jue watched, his heart ached.

After staying like this anxiously for a while, Ye Man finally made up his mind, picked up his blind stick, and peeped out of the room.

Chi Yan had assigned someone to guard outside, but something happened at that time and no one was watching, so the person slipped out with Chi Jue without a sound.

Chi Jue was walking in front. His steps were big and Ye Man couldn't keep up with him. Soon, he was the only one left in the picture.

The boy looked around in confusion for a while, with an aggrieved look on his face. He squatted down with his knees hugged, and it was unclear whether he was crying.

But soon he fumbled to his feet again and continued to follow the direction where Chi Jue disappeared.

They all knew what happened next. Ye Man wanted to find Chi Jue, but he found the wrong person.

Chi Yan stared at the screen with deep and shallow eyes.

Chi Jue pinched his palm and said, "I'm sorry, brother. It's my fault."

"I don't know..." His tone was vague, as if he was walking on the street and a kitten was trying to scam him. "I don't know Xiaoman, he..."

"I always thought he hated me." He lowered his head deeply.
