Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, I think I will not get the Qingsi Rope back, and there is no need to embarrass Brother Qingyun for an unfinished relic. It is a good thing that my second uncle suddenly adopted him as his son, but it also makes him "placed with high hopes". Now in the old house, the call for him to be the "Prince Consort" is higher than anyone else.

This is something neither of us wants to see, but unfortunately, there are inevitably people pushing it behind the scenes. I had no choice but to inform the older people in the eldest branch not to discuss it. I cannot show up myself, otherwise people will take the opportunity to say that I look down on others, despise the person in charge, and despise the second branch. After all, apart from Brother Xie, Gao Xinci and Jiang Yinan both have good backgrounds, and there happened to be Zhizhi, who was a head higher in rank than Brother Qingyun, but he was not looked down upon.

The emperor has to care about the people's leisure time. It really makes the people below think I am arrogant. Even if Brother Qingyun and Zhizhi believe in me, they will be dizzy after a long time.

So, I'd better just let my second uncle suppress me for a while. I can only use the solution after I get rid of Gao Xinci.

As I thought about it, I pursed my lips guiltily. Fortunately, Gao Xinci didn't notice it this time. He thought I was teasing him through Brother Qingyun again. But I didn't expect that besides him, Brother Qingyun himself also knocked on the door to respond to me the next second.

"Well, you still have a conscience. But looking at the situation, I'd better protect you. Stay away from the human traffickers." Brother Qingyun leaned against the door and nodded.

Gao Xinci responded with a shocked look: "Brother, let's not talk about how I now treat Shishi as a benevolent and heroic savior who came from heaven, don't you know not to look at or listen to inappropriate things? What if we were kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up, and you were just standing there watching?!"

Brother Qingyun rolled his eyes and said, "You guys didn't lock the door. I thought no one was there and almost asked Auntie to come in and clean up."

I patted Gao Xinci and told him to stop talking nonsense, then turned around and straightened my clothes to face Brother Qingyun: "Brother, you went to the company, why did you come back suddenly? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Brother Qingyun scratched the back of his neck helplessly after hearing this. "Who knows? Your brother said that there is not so much work in Linjiang, and he can go to social events by himself. He asked me to stay at home to look after Xingyun. The two pregnancies were not good, so he asked me to keep an eye on her and not let her run around. What's the big deal about me looking after her? He doesn't take care of his own wife, but your brother is stubborn and doesn't want to stay at home. What can I do? I don't know where the tiger is tied, it's very strange. By the way, your sister-in-law asked you to go shopping, just tell her whether you want to go or not."

I turned around and glanced at Gao Xinci. Brother Qingyun was not a straightforward person, so his words were not all in plain language. There were always some hidden metaphors. What was it that made my brother unwilling to go home? It was really hard for me to explain.

I smiled and changed the subject: "Brother, if it's not convenient for you, let sister-in-law come to my yard and sit for a while. Didn't brother also tell you to keep an eye on sister-in-law and don't let her go out too often? There are bound to be problems on the street. Ask those people to send clothes and jewelry to the house, and find a few more managers with a body shape similar to sister-in-law to help her try them one by one. It's better than her being pregnant and tired. Anyway, I'm free, brother is working hard, so I will take care of the family for him."

"Okay, then I'll go talk to Xingyun." Brother Qingyun shrugged and accepted it, looking quite satisfied.

But he was satisfied, Gao Xinci felt a little frustrated, and rubbed me hard: "How come you are okay? You accompany her, what about me? I want to look at clothes with you? I think you can change it for me..."

"My brother is testing me with this matter, you can see that. Besides, my sister-in-law married from far away, and her relatives and friends are all in Jinhai. I just spent an afternoon with her. Are you jealous? You are not busy. Go to the company to check the situation. In the evening, in the evening, I will cook for you and make crystal pork elbow." I stroked Gao Xinci's chest.

Gao Xinci rubbed my cheek and said, "Come on, I know that too. I just feel that since Dad passed away, it has been your brother who has taken the trouble to raise you. He even bought land in Linjiang and opened a compound for you. The servants and the land deeds are all in your name. You are only cousins, but you are as close as a family. Now you have fallen to the point where outsiders are testing you. You have worked too hard and he is too embarrassed. Well - it's a pity."

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled foolishly: "What can we do? When a family's main pillar collapses, everyone will make a scene. It will be fine in a few years."

"I think it's difficult." Gao Xinci pursed his lips.

It was already annoying enough at this time, and I couldn't stand hearing anything unlucky. I immediately frowned and patted Gao Xinci lightly: "First, Brother Qingyun is not an outsider. Second, stop cursing my goodness. Can't you say something nice?"

Gao Xinci smiled bitterly and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, I believe that our Miss Fu will defeat monsters and level up all the way, and in the end she will definitely use the ultimate trick of true love to defeat the big boss."

"You are just insulting me..." I rolled my eyes at him, turned around and twirled my hands with a sad face: "Okay, I know you are doing this for my own good, I will go find my brother later, I, I will be more direct with him."

Gao Xinci shrugged and told me to do whatever I wanted, saying that if things got serious, he could just come to my house and snatch my daughter away. I looked down on him...

Actually, it's done as soon as I said that. Chengcheng is not here, so I have to be more careful at home alone. I've thought it through and it won't be a big deal if I take a step back. My second uncle has suffered a great loss and he is feeling bad now. Even if I take a step back, it won't be as good as the bones of his own mother.

It's better than Gao Xin's "what a pity" after weighing the pros and cons and feeling heartbroken?

I can't even laugh anymore, I never thought of that path.

However, my brother is indeed my second uncle's only child and his only hope. If something happens to him, my second uncle will not only be sad, but he is also my brother...

I spent the whole afternoon absent-mindedly accompanying my sister-in-law. As expected, my brother did not come home in the evening. Brother Qingyun hurriedly urged Xiyuan to make some lunch boxes for him to send to the company. I guess he was urging me, so I took on the job. When Ke Lin arrived, it was already seven o'clock. The secretary told me that my brother had not left the house since he arrived that afternoon, and did not allow anyone to enter. He was very quiet.

"He locked the door. Is there a spare key?" I asked after quietly pressing the doorknob.

The secretary quickly handed it to me from his pocket: "Mr. He just sent it."

I suddenly felt like I was being tricked, which was really confusing. I sighed and then opened the door to go in. Fortunately, my brother seemed normal. He was sitting at his desk, staring at the computer. When he heard the noise, he glanced back at me, then turned back to look at the computer as if nothing had happened.

I somehow felt that this scene was very familiar, but I still covered my brother's eyes according to the most boring game in my memory: "Guess who I am——"

"Pig." my brother answered.

I was speechless. How could they answer exactly the same? Were they secretly laughing at me? I slapped him again and said, "You guessed wrong! You are the pig brother!"

"If I'm the pig brother, then it's correct, you're really the pig sister." My brother smiled faintly, but as soon as his eyes glanced at me, he immediately shrank back dejectedly, as if deliberately avoiding me.

I leaned over to see what he was working on. It turned out to be a design drawing. Normally, this kind of thing should be done by the employees and he just needs to sign it. I wanted to persuade him that life is short. After all, he is not idle. Why doesn't he do his own work? Stealing other people's work... Forget it, my brother can't win. What is this drawing? Whose square looks like Hello Kitty from a bird's eye view? This requires copyright.

I didn't care anymore. I pulled one of his hands away with a scolding look, squeezed a little space between him and the table, and sat firmly on his lap with my arm around his shoulders. This was how I comforted him when I made him angry when he was a kid. My brother thought the same thing with a stern face. He held me with one hand to prevent me from falling, and pinched my face hard with the other hand.

"How old are you? Still acting like a spoiled brat?"

"No matter how old she is, she is still your sister. You said it yourself. Do you think you can beat me but not beg for mercy? That's too overbearing." I said very reasonably.

My brother looked up and thought that it seemed to be true, but he felt something was wrong. It took him a while to react: "I didn't hit you? Why are you begging for mercy? Don't frame a good person."

I couldn't help laughing, and I snuggled into his arms. I felt the warmth between his shoulders and neck. I tickled him secretly while talking to make him laugh. "Brother, what are you doing wrong to me? Brother Qingyun told me that you didn't want to go home. Is it that serious? Isn't it all in the past? I've been coaxing you since we were in the hospital. Let's live our lives well as usual."

"I don't really want to go home." My brother pursed his lips and looked at me incredulously: "He Qingyun said it so directly?"

I thought about it and shook my head: "This is simplified."

"Oh..." The elder brother became more discouraged and smiled bitterly for a long time: "I'm not angry with you, I just feel useless. My dad came again last night. Why don't you tell me what he said to you in the future? I don't want to be kept in the dark. I always think that you wanted to shout and let the whole family know about the grievances you suffered in the past, but now you are quiet."

How can I not feel sorry for my brother's helplessness? It's just that I regret knowing so much. I would rather not understand it myself, so after thinking about it, I decided not to let him get involved. I smiled and kissed him on the face: "Brother, don't worry, there really is no such thing this time. Second uncle is just not satisfied with Gao Xinci moving into the house so openly. He has always disliked Gao Xinci. You know it. Well, of course, it's also Xiao Gao's fault. After Qin Yu fell, he acted like the boss in the Gao family. Now he is a little spoiled, but people call him the prince. Since he is the prince, let's give him the way."

My brother lowered his head, took a deep breath, and touched my face: "What about you and him? I just found out that Chengcheng got into trouble. Did you get back together with Gao Xinci because you still miss him, or was it just for the 10 billion? I know it's not just about the money. You don't need to persuade me about this."

I was stunned, and time seemed to stop for a moment, but I recovered quickly: "As for me, I think it's both. In fact, even if it's just for the latter, it's not important to me now, brother. I'm fine."

"You're a girl, how can you not be important?" My brother tapped my forehead and looked not angry, but more depressed: "Actually, I thought about it. You're still young and you can definitely get married again. If you still have feelings for him, I'll talk to Dad about this matter..."

"Brother, what are you thinking? Second Uncle is just angry that he came uninvited. He is angry that it will be bad for his reputation if it gets out, but it is not a life-threatening crime." I interrupted my brother with a smile, looking at him sincerely: "Can Second Uncle still hold me back from getting married? It's just that I don't want to. I'm worried about the children. I'm worried that we had a quarrel a few years ago. He and I are remarried, and I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable. I want to wait and see how it goes."

My brother patted my shoulder like he was coaxing a child, and after a while he finally said, "Really?"

"My second uncle won't bother with me. I just need to give in to him." I whispered, tugging at the corners of my mouth. Afraid that I couldn't hide it, I leaned into my brother's arms and drew circles on his heart.

I don't know whether my brother believed it or not, but he was silent for a while. He was probably worried about something else. His next reaction was to pinch the thickness of my coat, and then frowned: "It's so windy today, and you're only wearing so little?" As he said that, he unbuttoned his windbreaker and covered me. It was no use for me to say that I wasn't cold.

I guess this is something that happens when we are close as kids, or maybe it's also a subtext from my brother? Are we reconciled now?

I shrugged my shoulders, and my brother stopped studying the things on the computer. After coming to his senses, he probably felt that the drawing was ugly, so he simply turned it off and just concentrated on holding me and asking me questions.

"What about Gao Xinci? He's a bit arrogant. Did he bully you?"

"No, he was afraid I would run away, so he didn't dare."

"It's really good to get along with each other at first..."

"Brother, let's go home. Don't worry about me. Sister-in-law just said that she misses you so much that her heart aches."

"Don't talk nonsense at such a young age. Your sister-in-law wouldn't say such sticky words."

"If she really said it, Brother Qingyun can testify for me. Just because she didn't do it before doesn't mean she won't do it now. Isn't it like she's carrying something in her mind that affects her mood?"

"It's fine as long as someone at home takes care of her. No one dares to bully her. I'm mainly thinking about you."

"No one bullies me. I just said Gao Xinci treats me very well."

"Gao Xinci is such a fickle person, who knows what he's thinking? You also said that he has Jiang Yinan in front of him, so there's no guarantee that he won't care. The most important thing is Lingling and Yunyun. Otherwise, you can marry him in the future and leave the child to me to raise."

I laughed out loud and almost let the cat out of the bag. I patted my brother helplessly and amusedly: "Not really. He is a little childish, but I won't argue with children. At most, he will ..."

"Did he really not treat you harshly?" My brother seemed to be unconvinced.

I thought about it, this opportunity seems rare? So I pursed my lips and rolled my eyes: "Well - maybe a little now, but it's just jealousy, just coax it."

My brother took the opportunity and immediately asked in depth, "What happened again?"

"I saw the rope on Brother Qingyun's hand, so I asked casually. Because it was Brother Xie's old thing, I thought about it a little more. Then Gao Xinci saw me and asked me what it was. I told him that I made it for Brother Xie with my hair and rope, similar to a lucky charm. He got angry and told me that it was a gift for Brother Xie and that Brother Qingyun was wearing it, but he didn't have one and he wanted one too. I could just make another one, it's no big deal."

My brother: "Hmm...Hmm?! What did you make up?"

I blinked. "Hair and string. The old Taoist priest told me so."

My brother finally got really angry and held the flesh on my face from both sides with one hand: "Have you ever given birth to a child? How come you don't know anything? How can you wear something like this on He Qingyun's hand?"

I said with aggrieved expression: "That child is indeed my own. Do I need to demonstrate it to you?"

"You talked back." My brother hit me lightly, turned his head and looked even more sad, and learned from his mistakes! He took a deep breath in an exaggerated way: "Come on, don't tell anyone else about this, how can you be so honest? Don't tell Gao Xinci about Lin Moxie and Jiang Yinan... Go home."

I nodded, almost unable to hide my joy. At this moment, someone knocked on the door. I quickly got off my brother and said, "Come in."

The secretary held the phone and opened the door a crack: "Miss, the Third Master has come to Linjiang and said that Young Master Shu Yi suddenly fell ill. I don't know what happened. Please help recommend doctors from the Hou and Lu families. There is no time to lose, you should go quickly."

"what?"
