4-23: "Don't covet what belongs to others."
Huai Yan blinked, feeling the heartbeat of the broad chest behind him.
He lowered his eyes and could even see the pair of well-defined hands encircling his waist.
"Brother?" the boy exclaimed in surprise, "Is it you?"
The person behind him chuckled upon hearing this, rested their head on the boy's shoulder, and said in a hoarse voice, "Did you miss me?"
Huaiyan nodded slightly, then grasped the man's large hand in return, as if acquiescing.
"I missed you," the boy said, his voice tinged with dependence and a hint of reproach. "Why did it take you so long to get back?"
Perhaps because the boy's tone was too intimate, there was a faint hint of laughter in the man's voice.
"I'm back now."
He casually asked, "I heard you broke up with your boyfriend?"
Huaiyan's mood became somewhat low whenever Jiang Feng was mentioned.
He responded sullenly, then turned and threw himself into the man's arms.
"We broke up." The boy sniffed, clutching the man's shirt tightly, and said aggrievedly, "I was the one who initiated it."
Recalling the servants' brief explanation, the man already had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
He knew from the very beginning that Jiang Feng was not a good person.
People like them, who frequent the world of fame and fortune and high society, have no shortage of connections and the ability to see through people's hearts.
At first, however, her younger brother was bewitched, as if he had been drugged, and was single-mindedly focused on falling in love.
He had no choice but to let Huaiyan do it and associate with Jiang Feng.
He knew that in the end, the boy would return to his embrace.
Sure enough, less than a month later, the two broke up, and the way it ended was extremely ugly.
"Huaiyi!"
Suddenly, the boy warned in a muffled voice from his arms, "You're not allowed to laugh at me!"
Huaiyi chuckled, patted the boy's fluffy head, and comforted him, "I won't laugh at you. Tell me, why did you two break up?"
Huaiyan fell silent.
He desperately wrapped his arms around Huaiyi's waist, burying his face tightly in the man's embrace.
Huaiyi felt somewhat helpless.
He sighed softly, turned around and sat down on the sofa, letting the boy sit on his lap.
"Hmm?" The man's voice was deep and husky as he pinched Huai Yan's cheeks. "Tell your brother about it?"
Huai Yan's delicate face was forced to lift up, and her long, reddish eyes were immediately exposed to Huai Yi's gaze.
"Why are you crying?" Huai Yi's voice was unusually flustered. He gave up and said, "Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Don't cry."
Tears soaked the boy's face, even his temples were damp with salty tears.
Huai Yan gripped Huai Yi's shoulders, sobbing uncontrollably. After a long while, she finally managed to choke out, "It's...it's him who cheated on me..."
Huaiyi paused.
In an instant, a fire called anger surged into his heart, burning away the few remaining rationalities a man possesses.
"Who did he cheat on with?!" Huai Yi's voice suddenly rose, veins bulging on his forehead. "You little bastard, I should have had someone kill him back then!"
God knows, when Huaiyi found out that his younger brother was dating such a person, he felt like killing someone.
But at that time, the young man threw himself into love without hesitation, and Huaiyi couldn't bear to make him sad.
Who knew that he was only away on a short business trip, and that bastard actually dared to cheat on him.
A leopard can't change its spots. We should have just filled this idiot's stomach with cement and thrown him into the sea!
Huaiyi was furious, yet he gently stroked the boy's thin, completely hunched back.
"Baby, don't cry." Huaiyi tenderly wiped away the tears from the boy's face, and asked softly, "Do you know who that person is?"
He swore.
If he finds that bastard and that other slut, he'll make sure they regret it.
Huaiyan blinked her watery eyes and nodded, looking particularly pitiful.
"Who?" Huai Yi frowned and said coldly, "Tell me, and I'll help you deal with it."
Huaiyi owns his own company, and his long-term experience in the outside world has given his tone a touch of authority.
Because he didn't want to compete with his younger brother for the family fortune, he voluntarily gave up. This kind of affection is hard to find even in the entire social circle of City A.
Therefore, Huai Yi must, and also must, deal with some people for Huai Yan.
"No, I can't say." The boy shook his head, his tone gradually calming down.
In the original storyline, the original owner was even more dependent on Huaiyi than this.
Huaiyan only performed seven or eight parts of the act, but fortunately the man didn't notice anything.
He said softly, "I should let him have his way."
As soon as Huai Yan spoke, Huai Yi's brows furrowed tightly.
In just a few seconds, he guessed who the third party the boy was talking about was.
In the villa, the only person Huai Yan needed to "go easy on" was the newcomer.
"Lin Mu?" Huai Yi's tone suddenly turned cold. "You've only been at the villa for a few days, and you've already learned how to steal someone's partner."
They pried open a crumbling corner of a wall.
Huaiyan rubbed his eyes, his throat a little hoarse.
He looked quite sad as he said, "That morning... I saw the two of them, hugging each other."
Huaiyi pulled the person into his arms and asked softly, "And then?"
"Actually, Jiang Feng explained it to me," the boy said, his voice filled with grievance, his eyes red and his body trembling as he cried, "but I didn't believe him, and..."
Moreover, Lin Mu's gaze, filled with affection and a touch of ostentation, was immediately apparent to everyone.
He was determined to get Jiang Feng.
Huaiyan really didn't want to fight with someone who was so inexplicable and loved to steal other people's boyfriends.
"No need to say anything, brother already knows."
Huaiyi sighed and said tenderly, "Don't cry, your brother will take care of them for you."
Make sure they suffer a terrible death.
-
When we had dinner that evening, Huai's parents came home.
Huai Yan paused as she descended the stairs, and from a distance, she exchanged a glance with Huai Yi, who was on the sofa.
Their eyes met, and Huaiyan instantly understood what Huaiyi meant.
Huai's parents rarely come back, only a few times a month. The last time they came back was just a few days ago, when they came back because of Lin Mu's matter.
After so many days, he actually came back again. I can tell who it was for.
They cherish their eldest son, Huaiyi, even though he's not home right now.
Although from a long time ago, Huaiyan has been the only young master in the villa.
Huaiyi became independent early and moved out of the villa early as well. He founded his own company and climbed step by step to his current position.
After Huai Yi achieved success, he "relinquished" the right to inherit the Huai family business to his younger brother.
To make his brother seem more legitimate, he even changed the way the servants in the villa were addressed.
From that day on, the only young master in the villa was Huaiyan, not Huaiyi.
Even now, the eldest young master is Huai Yan, not Huai Yi.
However, all of the above things, which seemed to be transgressions, were agreed to by Huai's parents without any objection.
Now that Huaiyi has returned, they even made a special trip back to the villa, which shows how much they value their eldest son.
“Dad, Mom,” Huaiyi said helplessly, taking his mother’s arm. “You don’t need to come back. I won’t be leaving during this time.”
Huai's mother smiled and gave Huai's father a reproachful look: "It's all because of your dad. He rushed back from the company and insisted on coming over."
Huaiyi sighed and pulled the two of them to sit down on the sofa.
He grabbed Huaiyan's hand and asked casually, "Hey, why didn't I see Yanyan's boyfriend today?"
Huai's mother was also taken aback, and chimed in, "That's right, baby, why didn't you bring Jiang Feng over to see your brother?"
Huai's father snorted coldly: "What is an outsider like him doing here?"
Upon hearing the word "outsider," Lin Mu, sitting on the opposite sofa, froze.
He looked at Huaiyan nervously, afraid that the other party would say something detrimental to him.
The more triumphant he was when he snatched Jiang Feng, the more pathetic he became when the bodyguards stopped him.
Now that things have come to this, he is afraid that Huaiyan will reveal all of these things.
Lin Mu felt a little nervous, her gaze fixed intently on Huai Yi.
strangeness.
Before coming to the villa, how come he had never heard of such a person living there?
When did Huaiyan get an older brother?
Lin Mu swallowed hard, his mind racing with speculation.
The Huai family owes him so much, so what's wrong with him stealing one of Huai Yan's boyfriends?
Besides, he is the true young master of the Huai family. Huai Yan has only enjoyed his glory for so many years because of him.
"Dad, Mom," Lin Mu smiled sweetly and asked softly, "Why...have I never seen my brother before..."
The conversation was interrupted, and Huaiyi glanced at Lin Mu subtly.
Then, he casually looked away and asked, "Mom, when did I get another little brother?"
“Xiao Mu just arrived a few days ago.” Mother Huai seemed unwilling to acknowledge Lin Mu’s identity.
She simply said, "He's also your brother, so please take good care of him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mu smiled at Huai Yi.
“Brother,” Lin Mu’s voice was sweet, like it was filled with honey, “My name is Lin Mu.”
Huai Yi didn't answer, but instead asked, "Surname Lin?"
Huai's father clicked his tongue softly and glanced at his son.
Lin Mu has been at the villa for so long, and they haven't mentioned changing his name, just to avoid trouble and let him keep his original name.
Huaiyi, on the other hand, told everything as soon as he got back.
"I..." Lin Mu looked somewhat embarrassed, unsure of what to do. He said, "Brother, I just arrived. As for the name, from now on..."
At this moment, he had not yet sensed the deep malice this brother, whom he had never met, harbored towards him.
Lin Mu was extremely flustered, fearing that Huai Yi would think that he was the outsider.
He was anxious to continue explaining.
Huai Yi raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, his voice seemingly containing a sharp thorn.
“It doesn’t matter if we don’t exchange them,” Huaiyi said casually. “It’s best not to covet what belongs to others.”
"Lin Mu, don't you think so?"
