Braving the heavy snow to return home, Yi Mu had just stepped through the gate when a feather duster flew towards him, nearly hitting him on the head.
Luckily, he cleverly dodged to the side, thus avoiding a red mark on his forehead.
Old Master Yi, wearing leather shoes, came clattering down the stairs. Before anyone could be seen, his furious voice could already be heard.
"You little brat, you don't study properly at school, all you do is indulge in debauchery. No matter how much property the Yi family has, it won't be enough for you to squander!"
Yi Mu stood still, waiting for his older brother, who was over fifty, to walk up to him before lazily raising his eyes and calling out, "Big Brother."
Yi Qin felt that her name was really right, as she was born with a life of hardship.
As the eldest brother, he started learning business from his uncles when he was a teenager.
He had just returned from studying abroad when his aunt gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy, and the whole family doted on him like the plague.
When Yi Mu was three years old, the old man fell ill and passed away.
The old lady and her aunt were depressed for several years before they passed away one after the other, without even having the chance to officiate at his wedding.
Yi Mu has never been an easy child. His parents passed away one after the other, and he was spoiled by his older sisters who watched him grow up.
The child was spoiled and became unruly, showing no respect for elders. Even if the elders in the family said something that displeased him, he would find ways to retaliate.
The eldest son opened a trading company a few years ago, and business was initially very good.
Later, as more and more people opened trading companies, the profits in this industry became less substantial than before.
The eldest brother then started thinking about doing some other business. He was working himself to the bone outside, but this brat knew how to enjoy himself.
He didn't go to school; all he wanted to do every day was visit brothels and seek out women, spending lavishly whenever he felt like it.
After being severely reprimanded, he learned to restrain himself, but unexpectedly, he has recently become infatuated with an actor.
What does 100,000 silver dollars mean?
An ordinary manual laborer earns eight silver dollars a month. If Yi Mu had been born into an ordinary family, he would probably have starved to death long ago.
Thinking of this, Yi Qin became furious and picked up a feather duster from the ground to hit Yi Mu.
Yi Mu stood in front of him, glancing at his trembling hands, still with that infuriatingly lazy tone.
"Big brother, you'd better think this through. Second sister is coming back to her parents' home tomorrow. If she sees the marks on my body, she'll definitely nag you to death."
"Also, the young master of the Chamber of Commerce invited me to play mahjong this afternoon. If I can't even lift my hand, Young Master Liu will definitely give me a lot of questions."
The two people he mentioned, one was very influential in his family, and the other was all-powerful in the Chamber of Commerce; both were figures that the old man couldn't afford to offend.
Yi Qin dejectedly put down the murder weapon in his hand.
He sometimes found it amazing that such an unambitious person could be liked by so many people just because he was good-looking.
Indeed, even the Chairman of the National Assembly once held him in his arms and praised him for being exquisitely beautiful and innocently adorable.
But good looks can't sustain him forever. He'll regret it when he gets old!
The old man thought this viciously.
When it was time for dinner that evening, someone went to the Chamber of Commerce president's house to ask if the Fifth Young Master was coming back for dinner.
The chairman's daughter insisted on having Yi Mu stay for dinner, and told someone to return the questioner's message, promising to safely escort the Fifth Young Master home after the meal.
Although Yi Mu is described by his friends as a womanizer, he is quite clever in front of his elders. He has a sweet tongue and can make the old people laugh from time to time.
After the meal, the Liu siblings invited Yi Mu and his uncle to continue playing mahjong. Yi Mu had been sitting on the stool all afternoon and his bottom was sore, so he was unwilling to play anymore and made an excuse to leave.
