Ye Zhilin has a carefree personality and devotes all his extra energy to medical research. He is happy to be reunited with his siblings, especially since the awkwardness between his older brother and Xiao Xi has finally been resolved. What else is there to worry about?
Since Xiaoxi came downstairs with Ye Aotian, she would naturally sit next to him at the dinner table.
In the past, when the family ate together like this, Xiaoxi would always sit next to her seventh brother, but today she actually took the initiative to sit next to her eldest brother.
Xiaoxi has her eldest brother on her left and her second brother on her right. Sitting next to her eldest brother makes it easier to act and cooperate, while sitting next to her second brother is a gentle person who tolerates her in everything.
Xiaoxi felt pressured by the scrutinizing look in her seventh brother's eyes from the very beginning, so she didn't dare to sit next to him.
To ease the atmosphere during the meal, Ye Aotian didn't get straight to the point, mainly because everyone would lose their appetite if they heard the news later.
So he and Xiaoxi had a loving sibling-like interaction at the dinner table.
"Xiaoxi, tonight we'll have your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs and eel sushi. Just eat a little less of the dessert."
Xiaoxi had just scooped two large spoonfuls of the freshly served strawberry pie into her mouth when her older brother looked at her with such tender eyes that she choked up. She was just too unaccustomed to her brother treating her like that.
Ye Aotian quickly handed her a glass of warm water. "Xiaoxi, don't worry. These dishes are something we can eat at home all the time. No one's going to take them from you."
After saying that, he also patted Xiaoxi's back considerately.
Xiao Xi quickly took the water his older brother handed him and drank two large gulps before he felt better. He smiled sweetly at his brother and said, "Thank you, brother."
She was practically mortified: if they kept acting like that, she'd get goosebumps all over.
Xiao Xi suddenly looked up and caught her seventh brother's scrutinizing gaze again: I can't stand it, seventh brother, can you not be so clear-headed? Look at second and third brothers, they're so much better with their simple lives.
At this point, the dishes on the table were gradually served.
Ye Aotian placed a large piece of tomahawk steak on Xiaoxi's plate, saying, "Xiaoxi is growing a lot, you should eat more!"
Before long, Xiaoxi's bowl was piled high with food.
Ye Aotian is being far too attentive. This level of care even surpasses the way he treated Yuan Xiaoya at the dinner table. It's going too far and doesn't fit his character.
Xiao Xi couldn't help but kick Ye Aotian under the table, then picked up a large piece of fish and put it in her older brother's bowl, giving him a meaningful look, as if to say: Eat quickly and stop interacting.
Then she caught a glimpse of a mischievous look in her older brother's eyes. Did I just see it wrong?
Even if you know it's acting, don't keep acting like that.
Xiaoxi finally found a natural way to change the topic of conversation.
"By the way, big brother, can you tell me how you dealt with those holdout residents? Xiaoxi is really curious."
Then she looked at Ye Aotian with a curious and admiring gaze.
Ye Aotian felt a sudden warmth in Xiaoxi's eyes and almost forgot the agreement they had reached beforehand.
He cleared his throat and said seriously, "To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. As far as I know, those indigenous people are all led by an old man surnamed Wang."
I investigated his family situation, and what he cared about most was his youngest son.
His youngest son was living in another city, where he didn't have a good job and was separated from his girlfriend in Shanghai. So I brought his youngest son back to Shanghai and arranged a good job for him.
His youngest son was eager to marry his girlfriend and needed a wedding house, so of course he had to persuade Old Man Wang.
There was also an old woman surnamed Zhang. Her sons treated her badly, and she was worried that no one would take care of her in her old age. I gave her daughter a large sum of money, and her daughter persuaded the old woman to stay with her.
I paid the fine for that little girl named Xiaoya; she was making a false call to 120, wasn't she?
Furthermore, I discovered that her father had a criminal record, and I even found the evidence. If they don't relocate, I don't need to say more.
In short, they were dealt with one by one, and their new houses are many times better than their current ones—all in prime locations, around 100 square meters, in good school districts. Not only that, they will also receive tens of millions in resettlement compensation.
