Chapter 285 You are too weak
Xiu Yeci: "You are not someone else, you are my brother."
"So what? Men of the Xiu family never need comfort from others." Xiu Yeming's face was indifferent, perfectly interpreting the word "inhumane". "Xiu Yeci, listen to me carefully. Everything in this world will only belong to you or submit to you when you are strong enough. And you..."
Xiu Yeming hesitated to speak, and after a few seconds, he completed his words, "Xiu Yeci, you are too weak."
You are too weak.
These four words, like a curse, made Xiu Yeci's heart sink to the bottom.
He was extremely surprised. Facing his brother Xiu Yeming's gaze, his Adam's apple rolled several times, but he couldn't even utter a complete word.
Xiu Yeming knew that what he said would hurt Xiu Yeci, but some things can only be rebuilt through destruction. Instead of letting him immerse himself in fantasy forever, it would be better to break this fantasy and let him face reality.
A person truly grows up when he sees through the truth of the world and still chooses to persevere at that moment.
"Now it's a woman, in the future it could be your life. The weak are not worthy of talking about these things. The weak are destined to get nothing."
Xiu Yeming's words are sonorous and powerful.
Xiu Yeci's expression changed several times as he listened, and finally... He clenched his hands into fists at his sides, and almost squeezed out a complete sentence through his teeth, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to become stronger. It's that I really can't do it."
After saying this, Xiu Yeci sighed repeatedly.
Xiu Yeming reached out and gently patted Xiu Yeci's shoulder, "Is it that you can't do it, or don't want to do it? Or maybe you don't dare... Lao Wu, can you really tell the difference?"
Just then the housekeeper came in. Xiu Yeming stood up and walked outside, but as he passed by the housekeeper, he gave an order, "Send the fifth young master to the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment. Release him when he has figured it out."
After Xiu Yeming left, the butler walked over to Xiu Yeci and bowed respectfully. "Fifth Young Master, please come in."
Xiu Yeci knew that his brother was the one who made the decisions in the entire Xiu family, and the housekeeper was just following orders, so he didn't make things difficult for him and stood up and strode towards the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall of a wealthy family is very solemn, exactly the same as those in TV dramas.
After Xiu Yeci entered, he knelt on the ground with his back straight.
The floor was very hard, and the housekeeper couldn't bear it, so he brought a futon.
"Fifth Master, you'll feel better if you use this as a cushion."
Xiu Yeci glanced at the butler, thought for a moment, and took the futon. "Thank you, Uncle Butler."
The butler smiled slightly, turned around and left the ancestral hall to report to Xiu Yeming.
Standing in front of Xiu Yeming, before the housekeeper could even open his mouth to speak, Xiu Yeming asked directly, "What is Lao Wu's attitude? Do you show any remorse?"
"Fifth Young Master has a very good attitude. He must really know he's wrong." After pausing for two seconds, the butler reported honestly, "Third Master, I've brought a cushion for Fifth Young Master..."
The housekeeper's voice was very low, but fortunately, Xiu Yeming heard it clearly.
He glanced at the butler's face with an unclear emotion, "Forget it this time, it won't happen again."
When the butler heard Xiu Yeming say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and responded very quickly.
"Yes."
Xiu Yeming: "If you have nothing else, go down."
The housekeeper nodded and retreated. Xiu Wen and Xiu Wu came in from outside and bowed respectfully to Xiu Yeming. "Third Master, everything has been investigated. The Fifth Young Master has been secretly in love with the Seventh Young Lady of the Di Family for a long time. After the Shen and Di families broke off their engagement, he saw hope, so..."
Xiu Wen hesitated to speak.
Xiuwu immediately took over, each word spoken calmly and forcefully.
"The Seventh Miss of the Di Family doesn't seem to have any romantic feelings for the Fifth Young Master. Ever since the Fifth Young Master confessed his feelings to her, she has been avoiding him."
If the girl was from a small family, Xiu Yeming could still make the decision and use the power of the Xiu family to force the other party to marry their daughter to his incompetent brother.
But Di Yan is the daughter of the Di family, the father of the Di family, and the apple of Di Sinian's eye. He has protected her like a treasure for more than 20 years. If he shows up, it will only provoke conflict between the two families and have no other effect!
Unless... that girl is willing to be with his disappointing brother, otherwise it would be a fantasy to want Di Yan to marry into the Xiu family.
As he thought about it, Xiu Yeming's expression gradually became gloomier.
"Xiu Wen, I have something for you to do. Make sure you do it well."
Xiu Wen: "Third Master, please give me your instructions."
Xiu Yeming didn't say it directly, but waved at Xiu Wen, indicating that he should put his ear closer.
Xiu Wen did as he was told.
Xiu Yeming's Adam's apple rolled and he whispered a few words in Xiu Wen's ear.
After Xiu Yeming finished speaking, Xiu Wen's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, "Third Master, are you serious?"
In the past, Third Master would have disdained to mention such an outrageous thing. But now, for Fifth Young Master, Third Master... Tsk tsk, it really is true that blood is thicker than water.
"Well, do it quickly."
While sighing in his heart, Xiu Wen heard the response from his third master.
He nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your mission."
...
"Qiqi, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
Lin Yaoyao came out of the shower and saw Di Yan holding the phone without saying a word. Thinking of the faint call sound she had just heard in the bathroom, she asked her directly without any hesitation.
Di Yan, who was in a daze, was called back to his senses by Lin Yaoyao. He avoided her gaze and said in a pitifully small voice, "I didn't. No one."
"I heard everything, and you still want to hide it from me?" Lin Yaoyao smiled meaningfully.
Di Yan: “…”
Well, Ah Ci is right, there are no secrets at all in front of Ah Yao!
"It's Xiu Yeci."
Di Yan's voice was very soft. If it weren't for Lin Yaoyao's good hearing, she probably wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly.
Xiu Ye Ci?
Why is he calling at this hour?
"What did he tell you?"
"Nothing." After saying these three words, Di Yan was worried that Lin Yaoyao would suspect that she didn't want to say it, so she hurriedly explained: "I was absent-minded when I answered the phone. I really have no recollection."
"Ayao, I'm a little sleepy, let's go to bed."
Di Yan lifted the quilt and lay down in the bed, then covered his head.
"Good night."
Hearing Di Yan's muffled "good night" coming from under the quilt, Lin Yaoyao shook her head helplessly.
She finally understood that if the issues between Di Yan and Xiu Yeci were not properly resolved, Di Yan would not be able to devote herself wholeheartedly no matter where she went or what she did.
To be honest, Lin Yaoyao never dreamed that a smart girl like Di Yan would be so slow when it comes to love.
I'm afraid that if the engagement hadn't been broken off, she would most likely never have realized her feelings for Xiu Yeci in her entire life.
Thinking of Xiu Yeci...
Well, Lin Yaoyao admires him from the bottom of her heart.
A true Ninja Turtles.
I've liked Diyan for many years, but I've never said it out loud...
