Chapter 2 Why is Chi's eldest brother Ye Man's hands so soft?
Secretary Chen has always been reliable in his work.
The boss asked him to find someone to bandage the wound, so he stayed here and waited for the doctor to come. He stood aside and watched the doctor treat Ye Man's hand injury.
It was also a bit selfish. Chu Rong was still here, who knew that he was gone, leaving the poor little blood-soaked kid alone with the Chu Third Master and his gang, how would Chu Rong deal with him?
Secretary Chen was here, and for Xu Huaiting's sake, Chu Rong didn't dare to act rashly even though he was angry.
Ye Man sat on the sofa and stretched out his hand for the doctor to bandage him.
In addition to the most obvious wound on the hand, there are some other small scratches caused by debris. They are small and fragmentary and will take some time to deal with.
Secretary Chen took this opportunity to check on the people present and also found out Ye Man's identity.
Knowing that he was the new young master of the Chi family, he found the list of guests for today's banquet and took a photo of Ye Man and sent it to Chi Yan.
After doing all this, I finally have time to carefully observe the boy on the sofa.
I have to admit that Ye Man is really beautiful.
Secretary Chen followed Xu Huaiting and saw so many men and women rushing up. Among those carefully selected people, Ye Man was also the most handsome.
If the beauty was only beautiful in appearance, Secretary Chen would not have felt so sad. It was really that Ye Man had a very unique temperament.
Ye Man was thin and frail, and the wrist bones sticking out from his sleeves were particularly slender and dazzlingly white. One hand could probably hold both of his wrist bones. People probably all have the gene of being naive, and once this thought came up, it made my heart itch, and I couldn't control my claws, and I wanted to really try to hold them.
It's not just about making a circle.
I also wanted to see how this boy would react.
He is just the right amount of pitiful and delicate, which might seem fake on an ordinary person, but on Ye Man, there is an indescribable and breathtaking fragility.
A temperament that can easily arouse evil thoughts in people and cause them to abuse.
Secretary Chen glanced at Chu Rong, who was staring at Yan with bloodshot eyes.
It was a blessing that the Chi family recognized him. If it weren't for this identity, if Ye Man met someone of Chu Rong's status, who knows what would have happened.
"Okay, be careful not to touch water for the next two days, eat less spicy food, and get more rest," the doctor said as he packed up his medicine box. "Also, you will have a little anemia, so you may feel dizzy for the next few days. Losing your sight will make things more likely to go wrong, so it's best to just rest at home."
Ye Man: "Thank you, doctor."
"Can't see?" Chu Rong stared at Ye Man, "What can't you see?"
The doctor was also surprised: "The injured person is visually impaired, didn't you know?"
Secretary Chen also looked into Ye Man's eyes.
My heart skipped a beat.
Before, my attention was all on Ye Man's hands, and I didn't notice that there was something wrong with Ye Man's eyes. It was only after someone reminded me that I realized that there was something wrong with his eyes.
The young master that the Chi family had just adopted turned out to be a blind man!
No news of this matter has come out.
Secretary Chen secretly took note of it in his heart and looked at Chu Rong with disapproval. Now, not only was it bullying the weak, but Young Master Chu was directly bullying the disabled, which was an even greater crime.
Chu Rong jumped up when he saw this look, and grabbed Ye Man's hand angrily: "He must be pretending! If he was blind, how would he know where the cabinets and vases in the corridor are! He bumped into them on purpose!"
The display cabinet wasn't far from them, but it was still a few steps away. It was not so accurate that they could just bump into it with a random hit.
Chu Rong didn't mind being accused of bullying others, but he couldn't bear to admit to something he hadn't done.
"Explain yourself clearly!" Chu Rong stared at Ye Man.
Ye Man bit her lip and tilted her head, mumbling: "I'm sorry..."
When he acted like this, Chu Rong became even more angry. He was angry that no one believed him, and he was also angry about another thing.
——Damn it.
What are you doing.
Why are Ye Man's hands so soft!
Secretary Chen was about to pull the person away when the door was pushed open.
A figure walked in with lightning speed, bringing up a gust of wind.
Secretary Chen looked back, then turned sideways to make way for the person coming.
"Chu Rong." The voice ordered, "Let go."
Chu Rong shuddered and let go.
The man was wearing a gray three-piece suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He was looking at Chu Rong without much emotion.
Even though they are both wealthy families, they are still divided into different levels. The Chi family is a wealthy family in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the old and well-established families, they are the new nobles who need to curry favor with others, which is still a step behind the Chu family. After all, Chu Rong is also a member of the "prince circle" who is supported by a group of people outside.
Logically speaking, he should not be afraid of Chi Yan.
Even though Chi Yan was able to take on the responsibility at such a young age and raise the Chi family's status in Beijing to a new height, there was still several levels behind the Chu family.
But Chu Rong was always hesitant in front of Chi Yan.
Perhaps it was because Chi Yan's temperament was too similar to Xu Huaiting's, or there was a gap between them, the gifted ones, and Chu Rong, the second-generation rich who just lived a life of idleness and waiting for death. Just by standing there, his aura was enough to make people dare not act rashly.
Chi Yan glanced at Chu Rong without lingering on him for long, and lowered her head to look at Ye Man.
The collar and cuffs of the white shirt were stained with blood, and even the white socks that were visible at the ankles were splashed with a few drops of blood.
Chi Yan frowned.
Ye Man couldn't see it, but he still sensitively shrank his shoulders, "Brother..."
He tugged at his sleeves as if he had done something wrong.
Chi Yan hummed and said nothing more. She turned to look at Secretary Chen, her expression slightly softened: "Thank you and Mr. Xu for today. Please say thank you to Mr. Xu for me. If there is a chance someday, Xiaoman and I will go to Mr. Xu's house to thank him in person."
Chi Yanren looked cold and hard, but he was actually very polite and courteous. Secretary Chen smiled and said, "It's just a small favor, don't take it too seriously. I'll leave now."
Before leaving, he said to Chu Rong, "Third Young Master, Old Master Chu already knows what happened tonight. He will probably send someone to call you back soon. You should make preparations early."
Chu Rong wailed: "Mr. Xu told Grandpa?!"
Secretary Chen glanced at Chi Yan, who had an expressionless face, but didn't say yes or no.
Chu Rong was no longer in the mood to care about the Chi family's affairs. He had his bank card frozen earlier this year because of a fight, and he promised his family to be honest and not cause trouble. He had been dressing up to improve his character recently, but now he had caused trouble again. He had just picked out a car the day before, but now he could forget about buying it. He might even get a scolding.
The Chi family is not as good as the Chu family, but last month, Master Chu praised Chi Yan at the dinner table, saying that Chi Yan was young and promising, and would definitely be a talent in the future. He asked Chu Rong to stay away from those inferior people and get in touch with people like Chi Yan. At that time, Chu Rong swore to do it, but he turned around and "beat" the other person's brother. Master Chu must be so angry that he would die.
Chu Rong hurriedly led his people away. When he reached the door, he turned around to look at Ye Man, who looked weak, and gritted his teeth.
Just wait, he will settle this debt with him sooner or later.
Only Ye Man, Chi Yan, and Chi Yan's secretary Xiao Li were left in the room.
"Go get some spare clothes from my car," Chi Yan paused, "and remember to bring a pair of new socks."
Xiao Li nodded and left.
Now only Ye Man and Chi Yan are left.
Ye Man lowered his head, Chi Yan didn't say anything, and he felt uneasy in his heart.
Chi Yan is very busy. Since returning to the Chi family, the two have only had one meal together. Today, it was Chi's father who suggested that Chi Yan take him out to meet people.
The two of them were not very familiar with each other in the first place, and the system also said that Chi Yan did not like him, which made Ye Man even more nervous.
These days, Ye Manlu has been asking about the Chi family's situation, both openly and secretly, and has also heard a lot about Chi Yan. This man has been outstanding since he was a child, and according to the servants at home, there is almost nothing he can't do.
Ye Man touched his pocket and found a little rabbit in it. It was an origami he had made.
It was originally intended to be given to Chi Yan as a gift.
He knew himself well. Although he was the biological son of the Chi family, he was essentially a stranger to everyone in the Chi family. It was impossible for everyone to like him right away. There would definitely be an awkward period.
If you want to integrate into this family as quickly as possible, you have to put in some effort.
Chi Yan has a lot of say in the Chi family, even more than Chi's father, so Ye Man prioritizes pleasing Chi Yan.
If the system hadn't reminded him, he would have been eager to take out the little rabbit he folded and present it as a treasure.
He was also confused. How could a person like Chi Yan, who had seen everything, like this kind of thing?
Chi Yan is not him.
Not to mention the colleagues he met when he was working before.
He secretly reminded himself that the people around him were of a different class and would no longer like such cheap things that could be bought so easily by him.
The reason why Ye Man reached a cooperation agreement with the system so quickly was because the system was right about everything it said.
Jealous of Chi Jue, scheming and vicious, full of bad intentions... Ye Man pondered, his face remained calm, but his heart was surging with fear - it was me.
If he really follows his own ideas, he will probably become everyone's laughing stock as the system says, and end up being hated by everyone, breaking his legs and falling to his death.
Ye Man thought he had hidden his thoughts very well, and no one would know. No one had discovered all these years that he was not as simple as he appeared to be. Now that the system had pointed out his thoughts so clearly, how could he not believe it? And how could he not be afraid that if he continued like this, he would really die miserably?
Fortunately, he had a quick mind, and after being reminded by the system, he quickly figured out that no matter how hard he tried, he could not be better than Chi Jue. He could not replace Chi Jue's position in the Chi family, or in the hearts of other people.
There is an eighteen-year gap between their life spans, and he hasn't even finished his studies. How can he compete with Chi Jue, who was carefully cultivated by the Chi family?
The Chi family's overwhelming wealth fell upon him, and Ye Man became greedy. Unfortunately, he probably couldn't catch it, but fortunately, the system backed him up.
At least the system will not abandon him while he is still a vicious cannon fodder.
Even if one day the Chi family really discovered his true identity and became disgusted with him and drove him out, he would not die, and the system would still give him a large sum of money.
That's enough.
"Brother Tong, can you help me check if Chi Yan still looks unhappy?"
"A little bit."
Ye Man pursed her lips even tighter.
Chi Yan looked at his younger brother in silence and waited for a long time, but Ye Man didn't speak.
"Do you know you're wrong?" Chi Yan asked.
His tone was bad and Ye Man didn't want to answer him.
Chi Yan's face turned even colder. "Speak."
Ye Man wanted to continue being stubborn, but was frightened by Chi Yan's voice. He shivered and admitted his fault before his mind could react: "I know!"
"What's wrong?" Chi Yan would not let him get away with it so easily.
His mistake was that he shouldn't have been so flattering as to approach those who looked down on him, rushing around to be a clown and bringing shame to the Chi family.
Ye Man was about to say something when he suddenly realized that he hadn't had time to finish the plot yet? He hadn't even shown his embarrassment yet, so why did he jump straight to the point of being scolded?
He stammered and couldn't explain himself, and it was obvious that he didn't know where he went wrong.
"Why don't you call me if you encounter trouble?" Chi Yan asked coldly.
Ye Man:......?
Chi Yan thought of something and reached out: "Cellphone."
Ye Man handed over the phone obediently. After operating it for a while, the person in front of Ye Man lowered his body. Chi Yan squatted down and took Ye Man's hand and clicked on the phone.
The phone reads: "Chi Yan, quick message, 1."
The phone interface was restored to the locked screen, and Chi Yan ordered expressionlessly: "Press it again yourself."
Ye Man followed his instructions one by one, performed the operations once, and called Chi Yan.
"Next time you encounter a similar problem, come to me first. Remember that?" Chi Yan's tone was obviously much softer.
"I've remembered." Ye Man answered obediently.
Chi Yan's brows finally relaxed a little, but soon furrowed again.
"Please stretch out your hand so I can see if you are injured anywhere else."
After checking all the injuries on Ye Man's body, Chi Yan sneered and said, "Did Chu Rong do it?"
Ye Man felt a little guilty: "It's him."
Xiao Li came back. Chi Yan said nothing more. She took the bag, took out a whole suit and handed it to him: "Can you change it yourself?"
Ye Man nodded
"Call me when you're ready."
As the door opened and closed, Ye Man and the system breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Change your clothes and leave the room.
Chi Yan confirmed it and felt better when she saw Ye Man had returned to his original state.
"Xiao Li has gone to drive the car, we will go home later." he said.
"Also, I will take care of Chu Rong's situation."
What's the problem with Chu Rong?
Before Ye Man could think clearly, he realized something.
He sighed softly in his heart.
"Brother Tong, what should we do now? I haven't had time to follow the plot yet."
The system looked at his miserable appearance and couldn't bring itself to ask him to continue.
"Forget it, the plot this time is not very important, you should have a good rest today."
The system was worried that Ye Man would faint after a while.
Ye Manyan smiled faintly, called him "Brother Tong" softly in her heart, and thanked him.
"By the way, Brother Tong, who is Mr. Xu?"
