The butler said regretfully that the eldest young master was born early, but his health was not good. Although he is now over fifty years old, he is still bedridden and no one knows when he will suddenly pass away.
The poor second young master, at such a young age, has to walk on the edge of a knife every day, carefully navigating every step he takes, all for the sake of the Ye and Rong families.
“There’s nothing to regret. My elder brother is in poor health, so it’s natural for me to take on the burden of the Ye family. There’s nothing wrong with being on good terms with the Rong family. I don’t dislike Rong Qing. But he’s quite unexpected. I really didn’t expect that he would be the only one in the Rong family this generation, and I haven’t seen any of the Rong family’s spirit in him.”
Ye Li said this with obvious disdain, but without any hint of contempt.
Anxi City is neither too far nor too close to Nancheng. The Ye family has a car, so they can probably leave in the morning and arrive in the evening.
Rong Qing's call wasn't too late, and if they rushed over now, they could get there sooner. Ye Li was genuinely curious that Rong Qing would call her at this hour.
The disagreement between them stemmed from something involving a woman.
Ye Li and the original owner Rong Qing were not much different in age. After their elders brought them together, they gradually became good brothers.
The original Rong Qing was probably too well protected at home. He had all the skills and insight, but he was too soft-hearted and naive.
On the contrary, Ye Li, who was brought out to be trained early on, appeared more mature and steady, and played the role of the older brother in their interactions.
Later, by chance, the original Rong Qing met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. However, Ye Li had a sharp eye and could tell that the woman was no pushover; she was likely a spy sent by someone to get close to the two of them and obtain something.
Ye Li told Rong Qing her guess, but Rong Qing was really obsessed with that woman and wouldn't listen to anything. Instead, he thought that Ye Li had also fallen for the woman he had his eye on, so he had a big fight with her and kicked her out.
Later, Rong Qing was betrayed by that woman and went to the battlefield, where he almost lost his life. Ye Li appeared and saved him, but he was seriously injured and took a period of time to recover.
That's why Butler Ye dislikes Rong Qing.
If Rong Qing had gone through that ordeal and figured things out on his own, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But Rong Qing, being so muddle-headed, thought that Ye Li had done something on purpose, and even believed that the woman who betrayed him was completely innocent and that Ye Li had killed her.
In a fit of anger, Ye Li returned to the Ye Mansion, unwilling to go back to Rong Qing's side. However, she still frequently inquired about news from there and occasionally made arrangements behind Rong Qing's back.
Ye Li never told Rong Qing about these things again, and Rong Qing never knew about them.
Ye Li sat in the car reminiscing about their past, while Rong Qing sat in the study thinking about the same things.
He rubbed his aching temples, finding it hard to understand why Rong Qing, who didn't seem so unreliable as a child, seemed to have become less sharp as he grew up.
Ye Li was loyal to the original owner and the Rong family. He might have had some other ulterior motives, but he never did anything to harm the Rong family's interests. Why did the original owner have no trust in him at all?
I wonder if Ye Li will still be willing to come over?
