Chapter 76 Don't be sad, I will always be with you

"Mr. Xu, there are indeed major problems with Yanfeng's accounts. Recently, Mr. Xu Weibing's agent's account abroad has received a huge amount of unknown funds," Secretary Chen flipped through the documents in his hand, "Mr. Xu Weibing also privately commissioned someone to buy two air tickets. But Mr. Xu Qiting seems to have a lot of opinions about his father's arrangement."

Xu Huaitingsi was not surprised at all.

"He wouldn't want to leave like that. That would mean he would completely admit that he is not as good as me, that he will never be able to be better than me in his life, and that he is a loser."

"He hasn't given up yet. He thinks that if he gets rid of me, he can recreate his glory as the center of attention," Xu Huaiting raised his eyebrows, which made his features look even sharper. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Think about it, the most glorious time in life was when he was a few years old. Since then, every day has been a downhill road, getting lower and lower. No wonder he misses those days so much."

To Xu Qiting, Xu Huaiting was like a mountain that he could never cross, and he hated him to the core.

He felt that because of Xu Huaiting's appearance, his life had become worse than before and had fallen into a slump.

Although this is indeed the case, Xu Huaiting did not think so much when he first came to Beijing. At that time, he was still a savage bumpkin from a country island in the eyes of rich young masters. Not long ago, he had to worry about what to eat the next day. To be honest, everyone was forced to this point step by step.

Xu Huaiting smiled calmly, closed the documents, and crossed his legs. "Have you found the place I asked you to take people to look for it?"

"A week ago, I led people to search Mr. Xu Qiting's private villa abroad. The things were not placed there, but we found clues to another house in China. I asked people to investigate the area around there. The area around the house was closely guarded. If we acted rashly, we might alert the enemy. He must have been prepared in advance that you might find it there."

Xu Huaiting groaned for a moment, "We have to let him completely relax his guard."

A plan formed in my mind.

Xu Huaiting gave Secretary Chen a few brief instructions, and Secretary Chen nodded seriously, indicating that he had remembered them.

"Oh, right," Secretary Chen suddenly remembered, "The Mr. Hong you asked me to investigate last time, his identity is not a big problem. The only problem is that Mr. Chi transferred several sums of money to him. A small part of the money was used for the orphanage, and the rest... was all squandered. This man has a habit of gambling."

"Gambling..." Xu Huaiting tapped the table with his fingers, "Have someone keep an eye on this person, and also check if there is a suitable location for the orphanage to relocate."

"OK."

......

When Xu Huaiting drove back to Chi's house in the evening, he saw a familiar figure squatting at the door from a distance.

The boy was wearing a thick and long down jacket, with his hands tucked into his sleeves. He was squatting on the ground, and from a distance he looked like a little snowman.

He couldn't see Xu Huaiting coming back the first time, so he squatted there holding his cane and put his ear to his phone, listening to the voice message Xu Huaiting sent him, mumbling: "Not here yet? They said there would be another ten minutes, why is it taking so long?"

Xu Huaiting couldn't help but smile, parked the car, got out, and strode towards him. The man who finally noticed the movement stood up and tried to open his eyes in his direction: "Ricardo?"

"Um."

After receiving a positive answer, Ye Man rushed over. Xu Huaiting pulled his collar and wrapped him up tightly: "Why are you waiting at the door? Are you cold?"

Ye Man hesitated and lowered his head, "It's not cold. When I came out, my elder brother asked me to wear more clothes. I just wanted to see you as soon as possible."

He is missing him.

The moment this thought came into his mind, Xu Huaiting couldn't help but want to laugh.

He stared at him again and again, holding his face and said, "Is there something missing?"

"What?"

Xu Huaiting kissed him and said, "This is missing."

Ye Man took a breath, muttered that this man had too many demands, climbed onto his shoulders, and leaned over to kiss him.

When she tried to pull away, he held her head. Ye Man moaned as he held her head and kissed her for a long time. When they separated, her mouth was a little swollen.

Xu Huaiting moved over and rubbed his face against his.

Originally, Ye Man was worried that his swollen mouth would be noticed, so he felt a little resentful and could only forgive him helplessly.

Who said the living ancestor liked him so much? Just let him kiss him a little longer.

Xu Huaiting handed him the cake he had promised to bring him, and Ye Man smiled so hard that his eyes curved. In exchange—

"Next time I will remember to kiss you the first time you come back," he said seriously.

"Hmm..." Xu Huaiting thought seriously, "Can a piece of cake buy you off?"

"What, one piece of cake isn't enough?"

"Not enough. Not enough at all."

Ye Man hummed in dissatisfaction, holding him tightly with her hand: "Other people's cakes are useless. I will only be bribed by your cakes."

Seeing him like this, Xu Huaiting couldn't help but hug him tighter and sighed: "Micio mio."

"By the way," Ye Man, who was almost suffocated in her boyfriend's arms, struggled to get out, "someone came to see you today and said they want you to go back to the Xu family's old house and have a meal together."

The man came in the afternoon. No one knew how he found the Chi family. He was very polite and brought gifts. His tone was also nice. He only said that Xu Huaiting's family wanted him to go back for dinner.

"His cousin made some mistakes, and he wanted to use this meal to talk it out with him, apologize, and reconcile. There's no such thing as overnight hatred between brothers, right?"

Ye Man repeated the visitor's words to Xu Huaiting.

Xu Huaiting knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He was afraid that Yan Feng could not hold on any longer. Xu Qiting did not want to flee abroad as his father had arranged, so he planned to make a final effort.

Xu Huaiting sneered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face. "I'll go back home tomorrow, and come back before the day after tomorrow to accompany you to deal with Ye Guowen."

For some reason, Ye Man felt a little uneasy. He asked him, "The cousin they said was going to apologize to you, is he the one who ran up to me and scolded me last time? I'll go with you."

A fair and clean face was full of worry.

The people I met in the hospital last time, especially the one named Xu Qiting, didn't seem like good people.

Ye Man, who had been scolded once and held a grudge for the rest of his life, felt a surge of crickets in his heart.

Xu Huaiting pulled him into the house and said, "Just wait for me at home. I won't leave you for too long. I'll be back soon, okay?"

"......Um."

He was only going to be gone for a day or two, but Ye Man began to feel uncomfortable.

"You need to come back soon. I'm scared to sleep alone at night."

I felt that these two people were too much to bear, so I blocked my system. At this time, I couldn't help but jump out: "You little heartless person, how can you be a human being! Your brother Tong's story is in vain. If he wasn't here, I could still tell you the story!"

Ye Man felt guilty for a second, then immediately straightened his chest and said, "Brother Tong, you know me, it's okay if I swell up!"

He explained human nature to the system in a very reasonable way: "People are like this. Once they are used to a good life, they cannot endure hardship!"

He also wants to listen to stories, and he even wants to sleep in the arms of his living ancestors. His expansion rate is very fast.

System: "......"

He has worn me down to the point where I have no temper at all.

The next day, Xu Huaiting left before Ye Man woke up.

Ye Man stayed at Chi's house, and couldn't help but worry about him.

"Brother Tong, the guy who came to me last time really didn't seem like a good person. They won't join hands to bully our ancestors, right?" Ye Man sat on the sofa and fiddled with origami. One little rabbit after another gradually piled up on the table into a mountain.

If the system had eyes, it would really want to roll its eyes at him, "They bully him? The Xu family's bunch of idiots combined are no match for him, so you should just put your heart at ease."

Unable to calm down his nervous mood, Ye Man simply threw away the origami in his hand and lay down on the sofa.

"Brother Tong, do you know what the Xu family is like? The bad guy who scolded me the last time he met me told me about his father. It seems that his mother also passed away when he was very young. I still think he will be bullied."

But Ye Man was just a blind man and couldn't help much.

The system's understanding of this world is not complete. Seeing that Ye Man was flustered and couldn't even eat dinner, it had to carefully read the script again.

Comparing it with the script, it actually found some clues from some corners.

"Hey, it seems to have been mentioned here that Xu Huaiting didn't have a good life when he was first brought back. His father took him back and didn't care about him. His mother was sick for a long time due to unfamiliar climate and didn't get better. After Xu Ziyi became an adult, she immediately married into the Meng family. She probably wanted to use the power of the Meng family to do something. However, she couldn't take her mother and brother away, so she could only leave them in the Xu family temporarily. As a result, before she could do anything, their mother passed away, leaving Xu Huaiting alone in the Xu family... Hey! Wait a minute!"

The system compared several plots and hissed.

Ye Man: “What’s wrong?”

The system doesn't know whether to tell him.

After Ye Man repeatedly urged, the system said carefully: "I compared the time of several events. The night before his mother passed away, it seemed that Xu Qiting had asked Xu Huaiting to go to the Xu family's large yard covered with a thick layer of snow on a snowy day to find a small headset..."

By summarizing information from multiple sources and combining the two for analysis, the system can roughly estimate that... He searched for his headphones all night, and when he came back he found that his mother had passed away.

"Your ancestor is not the kind of person who would listen to orders. Xu Qiting must have bullied him quite often, but it is said that he always resisted fiercely and with brutal means. But that night he helped Xu Qiting, whom he hated the most, to find a headset, and he spent the whole night looking for it. Host, this is very abnormal."

Ye Man also figured out the secret and his face suddenly turned pale.

His eyelashes drooped slightly, and he asked sadly, "Is it because...Xu Qiting threatened him with his mother?"

"Maybe..."

For the first time, a person who refused to admit defeat like his ancestor bowed his head to the person he hated the most, but in the end he still failed to save anything.

Ye Man thought about it and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

By the evening of the third day, Xu Huaiting had not returned yet.

Ye Man was afraid of delaying what he was doing and distracting him, so she resisted the urge to call him.

——He could feel that Xu Huaiting was going to do something very important.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the TV that was playing the stereo was interrupted by a news report about a car accident at an intersection on a certain road. It said that two luxury cars collided.

Ye Man's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Perhaps he was too sensitive, but he still couldn't help asking the system: "Brother Tong, Brother Tong, can you help me see what model that car is? Hey, I don't know cars. Just tell me, is it the same car as my ancestor's?"

System: "Host... you, you should calm down first..."

The Chi family could all see that Ye Man was fidgeting.

He couldn't see it, but Chi Yan recognized the car as Xu Huaiting's at a glance, and her face immediately turned ugly. She quickly comforted her brother who had a premonition and tears in his eyes, and took out her cell phone to contact someone to find out the situation over there.

Chi Jue stayed beside Ye Man and said, "It'll be alright. Don't worry. Wait for the news first."

Chi Yan came back after making the call and shook her head at Chi Jue with an even uglier expression than when she left, which made Chi Jue's face turn pale as well.

Chi Yan replied that it was indeed the Xu family's car. The people in the car had just come out of the Xu family after dinner. The people in the car were confirmed to be from the third generation of the Xu family. Two people were seriously injured and sent to the hospital. We have to wait and see who they are. The incident happened suddenly and the scene is still quite chaotic.

The elders of the Chi family heard the commotion and rushed out to see what was going on. They all came over to comfort Ye Man.

As if he had realized something, Ye Man stood up and said, "Brother, can you take me there to have a look? The scene, or... the hospital, I... I want to go and confirm it myself." No matter what happened, he had to have accurate information.

Chi Yan looked at him and nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there."

After getting a positive answer, Ye Man quickly put on his clothes and ran to the door to wait for his elder brother to drive over.

He rubbed his hands and face vigorously, trying to warm himself up quickly.

Comfort yourself that everything will be fine.

Somehow, the more I comforted myself, the more I wanted to cry.

"Xiao Man?"

A familiar voice called him.

Ye Man was stunned for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating.

The other person walked towards him quickly, just like every time before. Ye Man looked up in a daze, and after coming to his senses, he rushed over and nervously touched the other person all over his body, from his face to his hands.

The man let him touch her until he touched her hand, then he dodged. His dodging speed was not as fast as Ye Man's, so Ye Man immediately felt the wet and sticky marks on the man's hand.

The other party suddenly panicked and wiped his tears hurriedly. As he was wiping, he found that he had dirty his clean face and the blood from his hands was stained on his face.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry. I'm actually fine. Xu Qiting wanted to take this opportunity to kill me, but I made preparations in advance. It was just that my hand was accidentally scratched by glass at the end. I'm really fine. As soon as the incident was over, I rushed back to see you."

On the contrary, Xu Qiting would probably be crippled if he didn't die this time.

"I can't bear to leave you, so I won't put myself in real danger. I can ensure my own safety." He hugged him, "Should I have told you in advance? I thought I could rush back before you started to worry, but I was still a step late."

Seeing that Ye Man still didn't say anything, Xu Huaiting panicked even more. He softened his voice and apologized: "Are you angry with me? I'm sorry, I scared you and made you cry."

Ye Man shook her head, hugged his injured hand distressedly, stood on tiptoe and touched his head: "It's okay."

He held back his tears, but his tone was extremely gentle, with a hint of coaxing.

Xu Huaiting suddenly realized that he was comforting him.

His panicked words came to an abrupt end.

He suddenly hugged the boy tightly, leaned his tall body over him, pressed him into his chest, and his body couldn't help shaking.

The winter many years ago was probably as cold as it is now. It snowed heavily, and Xu Huaiting searched for his headphones in the snow for a long time. He was wearing thin clothes, and he didn't stop even when his hands and feet were numb from the cold.

Xu Qiting said that as long as he could find the earphone, he would help him cure his mother's illness.

But when Xu Huaiting returned excitedly, he saw the woman who had fallen from the stairs and was already motionless. The earphones slipped from his hands, and everything was over.

When Xu Ziyi left, he vowed to protect her.

"Xiaoman..." He called his name hoarsely.

Ye Man patted him on the back and told him, "It's okay, Ricardo. You always said you would always be by my side."

"I will always be with you, so don't be sad."
