Xiaoxi immediately received Yuanzhen's message; she was already mentally prepared for this.
She simply replied "ok" to Yuan Zhen.
Then, not long after, Xiaoxi's school started. Whenever she thinks about it, she realizes that she almost had an annoying person by her side this semester, and she sighs with relief that she was quick-witted.
Xiao Xi started waiting for Ye Aotian to come and ask about the treasure, but after a few days, he didn't come, so she put the matter aside for the time being.
The new year has begun, and my fourth brother, Ye Wentao, has gone to Beijing for a meeting.
He never expected Ye Aotian to invite him so warmly; his subordinates had already booked a five-star hotel for him.
As a result, Ye Aotian not only didn't call first, but also came directly to the hotel and took over the hotel's business, picking up Ye Wentao and taking him to his current luxurious residence.
Ye Wentao was a cultured man, so he naturally fell in love with Ye Aotian's courtyard at first sight. When he learned that it had once been the residence of Prince Gong, he liked it even more.
Compared to the hotel, this place is definitely more comfortable, especially now that it's early spring and the antique courtyard has a hint of spring in it, which makes Ye Wentao love it even more.
What he didn't expect was that their good older brother wasn't busy at all? Whenever he wasn't in meetings or socializing, his older brother would take advantage of the situation and occupy all of his time.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you? You weren't as enthusiastic towards me when I came back for the Spring Festival?"
Ye Aotian remained completely calm and composed.
"Fourth brother, let me get straight to the point. When I came back for the Spring Festival this year, Xiaoxi and I had a falling out. Our relationship has reached a point of no return. What do you think I should do to salvage it?"
Ye Wentao chuckled dryly twice: I knew it! So this is what you were waiting for, brother. If I had known this earlier, why did I do it in the first place? Belated feelings are worthless.
These words popped into Ye Wentao's mind, but of course he couldn't say them aloud and directly confront his older brother.
"My brother actually asked me? Is it because I have a PhD in education? I can only speak from an official educational perspective."
Generally speaking, if an older brother upsets his younger sister, the first thing to do is...
The older brother should find a suitable time to express his sincere apologies to his younger sister.
When apologizing, be sincere. Don't make excuses or shirk responsibility; admit your mistakes and express your willingness to correct them.
Ye Aotian waited for so long only to hear this repetitive refrain.
"That's all? Is that all?"
“Yes, that’s it,” Ye Wentao replied.
"What are you thinking, brother? You're not thinking that I'll come up with some apology tips for you, are you? These are just some of the little things that happened between you and Xiaoxi. I'm an outsider, so you should be the one to come up with the words yourself!"
Ye Aotian was truly at his wit's end; it was already a miracle that his fourth brother was willing to offer him any advice.
Although he shared the same idea as his fourth brother, his fourth brother suggested that he apologize to Xiaoxi to prove that the method was feasible, since his fourth brother was an internationally renowned doctor of education.
So Ye Aotian immediately left the scene of the conversation, forgetting even to say a polite goodbye.
Ye Wentao shook his head. Sure enough, there's no such thing as a free lunch; there's always a reason for such kindness. Although this analogy is a bit inappropriate for his older brother, he'll stay far away from him next time he sees him.
Fortunately, Ye Wentao's trip to Beijing for the meeting was short, and he returned to Shanghai as soon as the meeting was over.
He got busy when he got back and forgot about it. Or maybe he subconsciously thought that his older brother was just listening and wouldn't take any action.
After all, given his cold and aloof personality, the eldest brother wouldn't do anything that would lower himself to such a degree.
It was soon the end of March.
Ye Wentao and Xiaoxi agreed that Ye Wentao would pick her up from school today, and then they would go out for a nice meal and a movie. The siblings needed to connect occasionally.
Especially this year, Xiaoxi has been able to stay away from long-distance travel for the first time.
When school was over, Xiaoxi remembered that her fourth brother was coming to pick her up today, and she and her classmate Shen Zhenzhen happily walked to the school gate.
They found that the school gate was incredibly noisy, several decibels louder than usual.
