Chapter 501 This Secret
Li Yaofeng sighed softly, and his heart still ached when he talked about the past.
"He lost both his parents, and his mother died trying to save me. I'm the only one left as his brother. I can't leave him with a bigger psychological trauma!"
Nie Yao couldn't help but feel sympathetic when she heard him say that. She whispered, "I understand how you feel. You're not only worried about him having a psychological trauma, but you're also afraid he'll blame you and resent you..."
Li Yaofeng seemed to have hit the nail on the head. He shuddered slightly, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, smiled bitterly, and said, "Yes, you're right. I'm very afraid that he will blame me and hate me. I had many opportunities to tell him the truth, but in the end I just didn't dare to say it..."
Upon hearing this, Nie Yao couldn't help but frown and asked, "Then why didn't you keep this to yourself forever? Why did you tell me? Do you want me to tell him? Mr. Li, do you think I should be the villain and untie the scars between you two brothers?"
Perhaps it was because Nie Yao's tone was quite indignant, Li Yaofeng was stunned for a moment. Faced with her unhappy questioning, he didn't dare to look her in the eyes.
"I'm sorry, maybe I'm too selfish. This secret can't be buried forever. It will be revealed sooner or later, and I don't want this truth to become the fuse that ignites our brothers..."
Li Yaofeng sighed softly and explained helplessly, "I've kept this secret for too long. Instead of letting others know, I might as well tell you first, because I believe that only you can prevent him from getting hurt!"
"Mr. Li, you're wrong..." Nie Yao shook her head and said in a deep voice, "If you talk to him about this matter in person, he won't be hurt too much. Even if you are half-brothers, you are still his biological brother in his heart!"
At this point, she sighed deeply and reminded him righteously, "You two brothers have been through a lot of hard times. After your parents' accident, you have always depended on each other. Do you really think he would blame you for this?"
Li Yaofeng fell into a long silence.
It wasn't until the tour bus stopped at the fountain square and the butler helped him get off the bus again and pushed his wheelchair back to the living room that Li Yaofeng slowly spoke, "Perhaps you're right. I shouldn't have asked you to convey the truth of this matter..."
"It's good that you figured it out!" Nie Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled.
"Now I finally understand why, apart from you being Jinxing's savior, he looked down upon so many other rich girls and only fell in love with you!"
Li Yaofeng also put down a burden in his heart, and a long-lost smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Your personality is enough to warm him and help him get out of the shadow of his childhood..."
When Nie Yao heard the phrase "childhood trauma," the old housekeeper's words flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Mr. Li, you just said that his post-traumatic stress disorder was very serious."
"It was very serious. He couldn't sleep, and when he did, he would have nightmares that would wake him up in terror..." Li Yaofeng nodded and whispered, "Later, he consulted countless psychologists, and with the help of medication, he was finally cured, but it also left a scar! His personality was sometimes moody, and he would sometimes get inexplicably irritable..."
After saying this, Li Yaofeng sighed softly.
Nie Yao nodded silently. The situation described by the eldest brother of the Li family was similar to what the old housekeeper said.
