Chapter 9 My Brother Fell from a Hanged Man

Mother Jiang forgot why she returned home. She could not accept that her beloved eldest son, out of jealousy, extended his claws to his naive younger son.

Little Jiang Zhi has always been so cute. He is not naughty like other children of the same age. When he is hungry, he will only call "Mom" in a soft voice. Even when he cries, his tears are just silent.

He was so well-behaved, and precisely because of his well-behaved character, Mother Jiang felt even more heartbroken over his disappearance.

She never thought that it was such a good girl like Jiang Zhi who secretly ran away and got lost, so she could only blame herself for all the mistakes, which made her fall into deep self-blame when it was quiet and alone all day and all night.

But even so, he never doubted his other son.

Even now, she kept telling herself that she shouldn't doubt Jiang Yi. How old was Jiang Yi at that time? How could he do such a thing?

However, when she looked at Jiang Yi, the guilt in his eyes made her unable to convince herself.

She began to think about that day over and over again, and couldn't help but think that Jiang Yi was very strange that day. He became particularly sensible for the first time, and brought her a cup of hot milk and said, "Mom, you've worked so hard, take a nap."

Mother Jiang was so happy at that time. She drank the hot milk her son gave her, lay on the bed, asked the nanny to take care of Jiang Zhi, and then fell asleep.

Then she was woken up, and the nanny said in panic that she couldn't find Jiang Zhiliao.

Later, the nanny was fired and Jiang Zhi was never found again.

Mother Jiang thought of this and looked at her husband in dismay: "Tell me, could it really be Xiaoyi..."

Father Jiang didn't listen to him and interrupted her loudly: "What if we know whether it's true or not?!"

Yes, what does it matter if you know the truth? Now the Jiang family only has one son, a son whose whereabouts are unknown, and even whose life or death is unknown, and another son who has long been trained as an heir. Anyone with a brain will know how to make a choice.

Do you want to give up this son because of the missing son?

Mother Jiang closed her eyes and saw Jiang Yi coming over. The latter whispered, "Mom, I said it wasn't me. Do you really want to doubt me?"

Mother Jiang lowered her head and said nothing more, and no one saw the pain and struggle in her eyes.

Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't say anything. He had actually guessed that this day would come, and he also knew clearly that his parents would not do anything to him.

He is the son they have worked hard to raise for more than 20 years and the only heir of the Jiang family.

However, he didn't expect it to be this way. Thinking of that thought, Jiang Yi's eyes showed a hint of viciousness.

The other party was too inconspicuous next to Chu Tianheng. He remembered that Qi Nian and Chu Tianheng had no blood relationship.

——

Qi Nian sneezed, and his scalp felt a little numb when he felt the gaze of the people around him.

From before, Chu Tianheng had been looking at him with an expression as if he had seen something new.

It was okay if it happened once or twice, but the other party didn't hide it at all and kept looking at him.

Qi Nian didn't know what was wrong with him and couldn't help but shrink to the side.

Chu Tianheng still held his chin up and looked at him, then spoke calmly: "You know..."

Everyone thought: “?”

He waited for Chu Tianheng's next words for a long time, but suddenly he stopped talking. Qi Nian was filled with questions.

In fact, it’s not that Chu Tianheng didn’t say anything, but the other party found that he couldn’t say anything at all, as if he was being controlled by someone and couldn’t speak.

Chu Tianheng looked at Ning Min standing aside. From the latter's expression, he could tell that she had obviously tried it as well.

This seems like...something like an unspoken secret?

Qi Nian's special ability is to let others hear his inner voice. Oh, this inner voice seems to be limited to... gossip? And now it seems that Qi Nian himself doesn't know, and they can't tell him.

Chu Tianheng: “…”Okay.

Qi Nian was confused when he saw Chu Tianheng stopped talking again, but he didn't want to ask anymore.

Being stared at like this by Chu Tianheng was really uncomfortable. Fortunately, Chu Rongshi and Chu Zhen came back from get off work one after another.

Qi Nian seemed to have seen a savior, and quickly ran to Chu Rongshi's side, saying enthusiastically: "Brother!"

Chu Rongshi raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised at Yu Qi Nian's attitude, but when he saw Chu Tianheng not far away, he immediately understood.

Glancing at Qi Nian who had been following him, Chu Rongshi didn't say much and let the other person follow him like a little tail.

Chu Tianheng, who was sitting on the sofa, was subtly unhappy. He crossed his arms in dissatisfaction and looked at Qi Nian with a dim gaze: "Qi Xiaonian, am I not your brother?"

Why do you follow your elder brother and not him?

Oh, not only did I not follow him, I even avoided him.

Tsk, even more angry.

Qi Nian hid behind Chu Rongshi, shrank his neck and pretended not to hear.

I glanced secretly at Chu Tianheng and found that he was clenching his fists so hard that they made a crackling sound, as if he wanted to beat up his brother.

Qi Nian immediately retracted his head like a little sheep, and thought, "Hmph, since his brother is here, his second brother's family won't dare to beat him up."

His guess turned out to be correct. No matter how angry Chu Tianheng was, he could only sulk alone.

Ning Min couldn't stop laughing when she saw the interaction between the three brothers: "Look, I told you not to bully Nian Nian, but now Nian Nian only clings to his eldest brother."

"When did I bully him?" Chu Tianheng was unconvinced: "Besides, who cares about him?" He will regret it when he finds out his elder brother's true face!

Ning Min shook her head. Who knows who was born? Doesn’t she know whether Chu Tianheng loves her or not?

She didn't want to say any more to Chu Tianheng, the arrogant guy, so she went to tell Chu Zhen about what happened today.

Alas, I didn’t expect that Jiang Yi, a child who looked well-behaved, could be so cruel. Fortunately, all the children in their family are kind-hearted.

——

When Chu Tianheng found Chu Rong, he said vaguely: "You know, Nian Nian him..."

The two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning almost without continuing to speak.

Chu Rongshi didn't say anything, which was considered as his tacit agreement.

Chu Tianheng's expression was rarely serious: "Then this matter..."

Qi Nian's special ability may also bring him danger. Although Chu Tianheng said that he didn't care, he still unconsciously worried about Qi Nian.

Chu Rongshi glanced at Chu Tianheng with a rare look of admiration, and then said: "It's good that he doesn't know. The family can protect him."

Chu Tianheng's expression relaxed, and he returned to his usual nonchalant look. He stroked his chin and said, "It's quite interesting though. By the way, have you tried asking him?"

You should have tried it. Otherwise, how would you know?

Chu Rongshi shook his head and said, "No, he is just a little worried. Don't scare him. But he may realize it in the future. It's only a matter of time."

After all, Qi Nian is not stupid. Why is it that every time I think about something, others know it?

He has experienced little now, but he will notice it sooner or later when it happens more often.

However, Chu Tianheng's focus was a little off: "I'm not saying, big brother, why are you just like mom,...oh, you're acting like an old father to Qi Nian now."

Chu Rongshi looked at Chu Tianheng indifferently, and the latter immediately covered his mouth: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Chu Rongshi obviously didn't let him go so easily. He glanced out the window and said, "The weather is nice now. Come out and practice with me."

Chu Tianheng's face turned pale and he wailed, "Brother, it's night time now. I'm wrong. Is it okay if I'm wrong?"

However, it was too late.

Qi Nian was just preparing to go to bed with the help of the flashlight when he faintly heard Chu Tianheng screaming.

Thinking that the other person was his second brother after all, Qi Nian still came to the window with the remaining family affection.

It was brightly lit outside, so it was clear to see that Chu Tianheng was unilaterally crushed by Chu Rongshi. It was simply too tragic.

As Qi Nian watched, he laughed out loud. Chu Tianheng downstairs suddenly raised his head and looked over with a grin. Qi Nian quickly covered his mouth and shrank back behind the curtain.

"Hahaha!" Qi Nian rolled around on the bed, feeling happy about the misfortune, and shouted in a particularly childish tone, "Brother is the one who fell from the ground!"

Those two moves just now were so handsome, if Chu Tianheng hadn't been outside, Qi Nian would have taken a few more glances.

I feel like there's a word that fits his brother very well - suit thug!

hey-hey!

Qi Nian fell asleep happily and had a dream at night. He dreamed that he became as powerful as his brother and could knock his second brother away with one punch.

This dream was so beautiful that Qi Nian was still grinning when he woke up.

When he went downstairs, he ran into Chu Tianheng, who was holding the stairs with a grin on his face. Qi Nian was just about to wait a moment before leaving, but was discovered by Chu Tianheng again. The latter waved at him and said, "Why are you leaving? Come here and help me, your brother."

Qi Nian was somewhat reluctant, but he finally walked over reluctantly, letting Chu Tianheng hold his arm and walk downstairs.

It was unknown whether Chu Tianheng did it on purpose or not, but the entire weight of his body was on Qi Nian, which was extremely heavy. It was all thanks to his efforts that Qi Nian could hold on. Qi Nian could not help but complain in a low voice: "It's too heavy..."

"What are you saying?" Chu Tianheng pinched Qi Nian's face in a mean manner, just like pinching a dough. Qi Nian pushed him away angrily and ran to find Chu Rongshi.

Chu Tianheng came over to glare at him with his teeth bared, and Qi Nian called Chu Rongshi: "Brother!"

Chu Rongshi turned to look at him and asked what was wrong.

Qi Nian glanced at Chu Tianheng and found that he was no longer glaring at him. He chuckled and said, "Nothing."

Chu Rongshi could see that someone was trying to bully others with his power, but he pretended not to notice.

Only Chu Tianheng muttered that Qi Nian had turned bad and he learned every bad thing he learned.

——

Today, except for the youngest daughter of the Chu family, everyone else was present. Ning Min was in a good mood. She didn't have much to worry about as the eldest daughter, and the youngest daughter was by her side, so she asked about Chu Tianheng.

Ning Min: "You have a bad temper. Every time you hire a new assistant, you can't stand it after one month. The previous assistant resigned. How is the current assistant?"

Speaking of this, Chu Tianheng had to clear his name: "Mom, what do you mean I have a bad temper? It's because my previous assistant was too unprofessional and often couldn't remember my habits. I found another assistant who does a great job. I feel this one can last at least a year."

Ning Min laughed when she heard this, pretending to be unconvinced: "Is this true? There are still people who can remember your problem? You must be kidding, right?"

Chu Tianheng knew that his mother was teasing him on purpose, but he didn't mind. He directly sent the record that his assistant had specially prepared for him to Ning Min: "Don't believe it? Then take a look."

"Oh my, this kid is so serious." Ning Min squinted her eyes and took a look. It was so densely packed that her eyes were dazzled. "Let me see, this little girl is really serious. Let me see, there's her name on it. Oh... her name is Le Die."

Chu Tianheng looked at his mother's surprised expression. Before he could feel proud, Qi Nian, who was eating like a little hamster, suddenly stopped.

Then, I heard the other party mutter: [Ledie? This name sounds familiar. 】
