Ye Xiaoya protested, "No, I didn't. I just touched it, and the piano fell down and broke by itself."
Ye Wentao continued, "We don't come in without permission when Xiaoxi isn't at the villa. Shouldn't you be doing something about your daughter, brother?"
Entering someone else's private space without permission is basic etiquette; it's unacceptable to do so, let alone damage their property.
Ye Xiaoya: "I just wanted to play with my aunt, that's why I went into the cabin. I didn't know she wasn't there." But how pale and powerless those words sound.
Ye Wentao: "Honesty is a basic virtue for primary school students."
Do you? Given your relationship with Xiaoxi, would you take the initiative to hang out with her? Ye Wentao just didn't say these things out loud.
Ye Aotian felt very embarrassed.
At this point, Ye Wentao is the most qualified to speak, because he is a PhD in education and is well-known in the international education community.
Ye Aotian saw Xiaoxi curled up on the tatami mat, not saying a word, just crying, her eyes filled with sadness and sorrow.
Meanwhile, his daughter kept trying to defend herself.
Ye Aotian made a firm decision.
“It’s just a guzheng, isn’t it? Seventh Brother, I’ll pay Xiaoxi ten times the price you paid for it back then.”
Everyone gasped. Xiaoxi's six older brothers all looked at their eldest brother with disapproval.
How could someone be so unreasonable? Shouldn't your daughter apologize to Xiaoxi?
Ye Aotian suddenly realized that his actions had alienated his brothers, but he had already spoken and there was no reason to take back his words.
The facts are clear, whether Xiaoya did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Anyway, the guqin was broken.
Ye Yichen looked at Ye Aotian in disbelief, "Big brother, I won't name a price, why do you have to use money to humiliate our little sister?"
Ye Yichen's meaning was simple: were the Ye family short of money? Xiaoxi valued the zither itself; the zither her brother gave her was priceless.
Xiaoxi: No, it's right for the big brother to use money to humiliate your little sister.
Ye Aotian didn't say anything, and left the cabin with his daughter in his arms.
Not long after, he had his men take away the broken purple zither as well.
Everyone is really disappointed in Ye Aotian.
Ye Aotian was quite decisive and immediately ordered his men to go out and appraise the guqin.
When his subordinates returned and reported the truth, the Zixiao Qin was a priceless heirloom. The master who appraised the guqin cried and said, "Who the hell is ruining such a good thing?"
Ye Aotian then ordered an investigation throughout Shanghai and Beijing, but they couldn't find a better zither than the Zixiao Ziqin. However, he then declared that he would be ten times better.
Finally, Ye Aotian paid Xiaoxi 1 billion yuan in compensation, and the matter was officially settled.
Ye Aotian wasn't short of money, but he knew that giving away 1 billion was a bit of a waste. Even though he spent the money, it caused a major rift in his relationship with his siblings.
Given the large sum of money, as long as Ye Xiaoya doesn't cause her trouble, she won't bother her older brother.
Xiao Xi was secretly delighted and quietly slipped into Ye Xingxian's room.
"Fifth Brother, your idea to get a new Makoto is really useful. How about this, let's split the ten billion that Big Brother gave us, five hundred million each."
Ye Xingxian smiled and flicked Xiaoxi's forehead.
"Is your fifth brother short of money? Don't forget that I also have another identity: Zhou Ye, the coal mine owner."
Xiaoxi burst into laughter.
