Chapter 468: Old Times
"Well, this is our Li family's ancestral manor, also known as Li Garden. I grew up here when I was a child!"
Li Jinxing nodded, raised his eyes and looked at the distant grassland, a faint smile on the corner of his lips: "You can say that in my heart, this place was once a beautiful place like a paradise!"
"Even now, the scenery here is beautiful..." Nie Yao also followed his gaze and sighed with a smile.
Li Jinxing smiled noncommittally, thinking of his parents' death and everything that happened afterwards, the smile between his brows was shrouded in a faint melancholy.
Seeing this, Nie Yao tentatively asked, "So your elder brother has been living here all this time?"
Li Jinxing collected his thoughts, nodded, and replied, "Well, he has always lived here and has never left. He has even rarely left Li Garden, so many people outside don't even know that I have a brother!"
"When did your elder brother's legs become defective?" Nie Yao asked cautiously.
She didn't want to deliberately inquire about this private matter, but during the quarrel between the two brothers just now, Li Jinxing seemed to have mentioned...
If it weren't for this heirloom, his parents wouldn't have died, and his eldest brother wouldn't have become what he is now!
"When I was five, my parents had a car accident. My eldest brother was in the same car with them. He was only less than fifteen years old!"
Li Jinxing said this with a bitter smile on his lips, and said in a dark tone: "Mom and Dad tried their best, but they could only save my eldest brother's life. However, his legs were pressed by the fallen tree for too long. By the time he was taken to the hospital, his legs were already broken!"
He lowered his eyes, his hands trembling slightly. "Such a blow is difficult for anyone to accept, but my eldest brother persevered through it. He bravely recovered while taking care of me, and he also had to resist the outside world's covetous eyes on the Li family's assets!"
Seeing Li Jinxing lost in painful memories of the past, Nie Yao subconsciously held his hands, caressed his palms, and whispered comfortingly, "Li Jinxing, everything is over..."
She originally thought that the two brothers had a bad relationship, so he never mentioned it to her. Now she knew that the two brothers had depended on each other and gone through the most difficult and terrible dark years!
How could these two brothers be what she thought they were, fighting over the family property?
Li Jinxing held Nie Yao's hand with his backhand, raised his eyes to meet her comforting gaze, and asked in a low voice: "Yaoyao, do you think I'm an asshole? Big Brother is so good to me. Without him, I wouldn't be who I am today. But I ended up with him and it became so awkward now, making him really angry?"
"How could that be?" Nie Yao shook her head and smiled faintly. She patted the back of his hand and said comfortingly, "I didn't understand it before, but now I finally understand. The reason you want to give this heirloom away is because you don't want it to bring any more danger to your eldest brother!"
The people behind the scenes, whose identities are unknown, have been eyeing this cultural relic. For this reason, they have already made a move against Li Jinxing. Even she has been followed, and their methods are vicious. Who knows, they might make a move against Li Jinxing's elder brother at any time!
Li Jinxing did not explain these things clearly to his elder brother, but in Li Jinxing's heart, no matter how valuable the heirloom was, it was not as important as the lives of their family!
