[First time] Burn it, brother-in-law!

Chapter 30 Coming out of the closet

After all, Ah Ci was still young, and although his condition continued to recuperate, he was recovering well overall.After seeing the results of the examination, Ah Chu finally agreed to cancel the restriction of only eating liquid food for three meals, but it still needs to be as light as possible.Ah Ci ate a big bowl of noodles at night and took a hot bath, feeling energetic.

When Ah Chu was taking a shower in the bathroom, Ah Ci felt a little bored, so he wandered into the nursery, trying to tease the child.Helpless, his nephews were all asleep, and he had no time to feel the love from his uncle, so he went back to the bedroom resentfully.

He circled around the center of the room, like a teenager exploring an ancient castle, his eyes full of curiosity—it’s unbelievable to say that he has lived in this room for a week, but most of the time he just fell asleep , or just lying on the bed in a daze, completely uninterested in visiting.

The tassels of the curtains and the dark flowers of the wallpaper are all showing the romantic style.Ah Ci didn't comment on his brother's taste, anyway, he didn't have any aesthetic and elegant pursuit of decoration style, everything should be simple and clear.He opened the glass door of the bookcase, running his fingers along the spine of the book, not interested in the original documents and medical abstracts.

I accidentally found a photo album, took it out and looked through it.The first few pages were all photos of Ah Chu in China before he was six years old, almost all of them were photos with him, but he couldn't tell which one was himself, so he couldn't help but feel a little funny.Occasionally there are a few photos of the birthday party, and He Yashu is also in it.When Ah Ci saw her, he was upset, so he quickly flipped through the pages, and saw the photos left by his mother and Ah Chu's new family in England.He noticed that the smile on his mother's face had become reserved. Ah Chu stood in the corner behind his mother, in stark contrast to the two foreign girls in the center of the photo. He was definitely a standard "oil bottle" in his stepfather's house.Ah Ci couldn't help feeling sorry for the skinny boy in the photo—A Chu was right, his father didn't marry his stepmother after all, and although he lacked maternal love in his childhood, he was far more comfortable than his eldest brother.The next few pages are photos of Ah Chu in the medical school, some doing experiments, some receiving awards on stage, and group photos with professors and classmates.Ah Chu smiled warmly, but his eyes were cold and distant.A cheerful-looking Asian girl appeared frequently, holding Ah Chu's arm intimately, like a couple of lovers.Turning back, the time will turn to the past two years after returning to China. Ah Chu's smile is still bright, but his eyes have become more profound and unpredictable.

Ah Ci seemed to travel through time and space, and accompanied Ah Chu through the joys and sorrows of these years, with a lot of emotion.

He closed the album and put it back in place.I accidentally found a glass ornament in the corner of the upper shelf, so I stretched out my arms to take it down and play with it—it was a pair of delicate glass shoes.

Ah Ci couldn't help thinking of the conversation with Ah Chu when they celebrated their birthday together in the hospital.At that time, Ah Chu talked about making cakes for the two sisters at his stepfather’s house. He was complained by himself as a "Cinderella" without glass shoes. He was destined not to meet the "Prince". Thinking that he really ordered it... In fairy tales, the crystal clear glass slipper symbolizes Cinderella's hope.In reality, it represents Ah Chu's expectation for a happy life.Now being hidden in the corner of the bookcase, does it mean that the shock of divorce has made him lose his original vision?

When he was distracted, Ah Chu had already wiped his hair and walked into the room. Seeing the glass slipper in his hand, he immediately shouted: "Put it back quickly!"

Ah Ci was startled, feeling as if he had touched something like a seal.After confirming that the house did not have the tendency to collapse due to his mistaken touch of the mechanism, he put the glass shoe back to its original place and asked carefully, "Will there be any trouble if I move this?"

Ah Chu raised his eyebrows and said with a smirk, "I will come out."

"You're bored!" Ah Ci rolled his eyes at him, "I was shocked!"

Ah Chu was obviously satisfied with his prank, sat down on the bed, patted the mattress: "Come here, I have something very important to tell you."

Ah Ci couldn't stand his shocking way of manipulating people, so he stood there without moving, and sneered to disrupt the stage: "Isn't it to announce your decision to come out?"

"My brother is smart! Guess right!" Ah Chu said with a smile.

"Come on, I support you mentally." Ah Ci didn't bother to tease him any more, lay down on the bed and pulled the quilt, "I'm asleep, good night."

Ah Chu put away his joking expression, and pushed him: "Don't sleep, I really have something to say."

Ah Ci closed his eyes, and said calmly: "If you don't want to talk about your illness, then you don't need to talk about anything else, I'm too lazy to listen."

"So you care about me so much? I'm so touched!" Ah Chu smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's not that serious. I will take care of it myself. What I want to tell you today is another thing It's about the issue of inheritance."

Ah Ci still lay still, thinking of his late father, his mood sank a lot: "...you tell me, I'll listen."

Ah Chu sighed softly and said, "Dad once made a will. You and I will each inherit half of the inheritance."

Ah Ci let out a "hmm" to show that he knew.

Ah Chu added: "Your half of the shares account for 27.63% of the company's total. Do you want to sell it?"

Ah Ci blinked, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sell it to you?"

Ah Chu shrugged: "I don't have the spare money to buy."

"It seems that I can only give it away for nothing!" Ah Ci smiled, "I understand your situation. If you divide the two companies with me, you will lose your position as the first shareholder and lose absolute control. Actually, I never thought about it. To divide the family property, everything is the same as before. Brother Lao will continue to work hard for the company."

"You misunderstood." Ah Chu smiled wryly and shook his head, "The company no longer has my shares, and I gave them to Ya Shu during the divorce."

"What?" Ah Ci pushed back the quilt and sat up, "How can you hand over the inheritance left by Dad to her?"

"Ah Ci, calm down. That's what Yashu deserves... When Dad passed away, she had just finished her confinement, but she stayed in the mourning hall for three days. She was the one who attended the funeral, big and small. Handle it. As the eldest son, I have done almost nothing, how can I have the face to inherit the inheritance left by my father? So when the divorce was agreed, I gave it to her."

"But you are going to the hospital to take care of me, so you can't leave!" Ah Ci shook his head, still incomprehensible, "And there is no need to give her half of your equity! She filed for divorce, a child She didn't even raise it, and took away all your property, does she want you to take Ai Zhong Aihua to the street to beg for food?"

"Not all of them. I still have Chunhe Hospital, and this house is still ours."

"She doesn't deserve you..." Ah Ci secretly scolded him for being stupid.I remember that he once said that only by accumulating wealth can we make up for the lack of security in the process of growing up.But now, he gave up this sense of security to He Yashu.In front of the woman he loves, he withdrew his shrewdness in the business field, and lost willingly without reservation, "Apart from Chunhe Hospital, what other plans do you have?"

"A while ago I was busy with the equity transfer. Fortunately, the other shareholders didn't delve into it, and it went smoothly. After a while, I wanted to start an entertainment company. In fact, I have always had this idea, but my father is very conservative. He always said that he should study the situation clearly. The re-investment was delayed. At present, I have contacted several people for a joint venture to see if it can be done.”

"Although a joint venture can share risks, there are also many disadvantages." Ah Ci frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Then sell my half of the shares and invest in it. If you have more shares in the new company, it won't be too late. Hard work is still subject to others..."

Ah Chu raised his hand to interrupt him: "No! That's what Dad left for you, I can't move it."

Ah Ci thought it was funny: "You really want to separate from me?"

"That's not what I mean." Ah Chu waved his hand, "If I want to use the money left by my father, I don't have to be generous with Yashu at all... There is still some risk. If I lose it, I will feel uneasy."

Ah Ci slapped him on the shoulder: "What are you afraid of? If you lose money, come back and work for me to pay off the debt!"

Ah Chu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you in advance."

"Don't be polite to me, you're too out of touch." Ah Ci pressed the pillow, lay down and asked again, "Is there anything else?"

"Go to sleep." Ah Chu turned off the light, lay down next to him, quietly looked at the dark ceiling for a while, and then sighed, "The two of us are really unfilial! If Dad knows that we have given up the equity, sell If you sell it, you will be pissed off."

"Then make your business bigger and impress him." Ah Ci turned around and faced his brother as much as possible in the dark, "I think what he values ​​most is not the company, but us. Otherwise, he won't compromise Come down and agree with me to be a policeman."

Ah Chu didn't answer the call for a long time, Ah Ci thought he was asleep and was about to turn over and change into a comfortable position to fall asleep, when he heard him ask, "What are your plans? Do you want to go back to work in the criminal investigation team?"

Ah Ci didn't expect him to ask this, and he was a little embarrassed: "I haven't figured it out yet... What do you mean?"

"What? I don't have an idea about work yet?"

"I have to discuss it with you." Ah Ci wasn't sure if the elder brother was trying to test himself, but Xia Yuechun had already reminded him that the elder brother was in poor health, so he had to follow him as much as possible, "I used to think that work was my business, who I can't interfere. But this car accident made me understand that my accident will affect the whole family. In order to realize my dream, it is too selfish to involve my family in fear. So this time, I respect your opinion."

Ah Chu rubbed his younger brother's hair in the dark: "There's nothing wrong with having dreams. I'm not that selfish, so do what you want."

"Brother, are you serious?" Ah Ci said incredulously, "I always thought you objected to my going back to work."

"When I just returned to China, I said that what you like is your freedom. I believe you have the ability to protect yourself. It's the same now."

"But so many things have happened, I can't believe it myself..."

"Ah Ci, I've thought a lot these days, but I'm actually more greedy than you imagined." Ah Chu hugged him through the quilt, "Brother not only wants you to live, but also wants you to live happily! Do what you want to do, and you will not waste your life. If you feel tired and don't want to be a criminal police officer, resign. But if you still want to do it, don't give up. Understand?"

"Brother, I..." Ah Ci was so moved that he couldn't say a word because it was stuck in his throat.

"Do it according to your own heart. But no matter what you do, you must be careful outside. Remember that Ai Zhong Aihua and I are still waiting for you to come home."

"I will." At this moment, Ah Ci completely forgot about the bad deeds of the little black rabbit in the past, and only felt that his eldest brother was so kind and excellent, but he was mistreated by everyone.It would be great if He Yashu could know how to cherish it!It would be great if Dad could favor Ah Chu a little while he was alive!It would be great if I could care more about him and be considerate of him!When he was worried about being abandoned by his mother, he joked and comforted him, saying that he was seriously ill and had to go to England for treatment.Based on the circumstances of his last illness, this joke is likely to be true!It's hard to imagine how he concealed his illness at that time, and dragged his sick body to accompany him to climb Huashan, "Brother, you don't really like Huashan, do you?"

"Why do you ask that suddenly?" Ah Chu didn't know what was going on in his heart, and wondered why his younger brother's topic jumped here.

"When I was hospitalized, Xia Yuechun told me that the proportion of Rh-negative blood in China is three per thousand."

"To be more precise, it's 0.34%. Because it's rare, it's also called 'panda blood'. And there are even fewer people with Rh-negative blood type A, accounting for only one in a thousand." A Chu nodded instinctively, and then It just occurred to me that Ah Ci couldn't see himself in the pitch blackness, so why was he nodding his head?I can't help laughing at myself for a while.

"So, when you go to Huashan, you have to follow, because you are afraid that if there is an accident when I climb the mountain, you will not find blood plasma?"

"This... can be considered one of the reasons." Ah Chu changed the subject, and said frightenedly, "My brother is really smart! Guess right!"

Ah Ci gritted his teeth and said nothing.The image of myself dragging my elder brother to catch up with my colleagues on Huashan Mountain flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help clenching my fists, wishing to beat myself up.

……

The next afternoon, on a whim, Ah Ci ran to the nursery to pose for a photo of his two nephews.

Ah Si suddenly opened the door and walked in, and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, there is a situation that I think I should report to you."

Ah Ci frowned: "Is my elder brother sick again?"

"No. I just happened to see a pill box in his office drawer, very similar to the one from last time."

"It's not like that, I guess that's what you saw. He didn't put it back in the bedroom after drinking the medicine last time!" Ah Ci was a little annoyed at the mention of this, "What a mess! In order to prevent me, he actually put the life-saving The medicine is hidden in the office! I don’t even think about it, what if I get sick at home!"

"Beware of you?" Liu Ah Si didn't understand what he meant for a moment.

"Prevent me from testing the ingredients of the medicine!" Ah Ci gritted his teeth angrily, "Si, you have more chances, so hide a piece of medicine and bring it to me! Also, I let you do it because I trust you, you can't betray me! "

Ah Si's bald head was sweating—if you say betrayal, you also betrayed the boss... The second young master actually used the word "hidden", which is simply stealing!Besides, today he just caught a glimpse of the medicine box when the boss opened the drawer, and it is usually difficult to even glance at it, so how could he have a chance to steal it?He was about to tell the actual difficulties, but saw the boss pushed the door and walked in, looking at the two of them in surprise.

"What are you two plotting here?"
