Chapter 421: How Rude
“Sixth Brother.” Yan Yuanfei’s eyes were wet. He wanted to help him up and stop him from kneeling, but he realized that he did not even have the energy to do so. He could only look at him helplessly and say, “Get up first.”
How many years had it been since he had seen Sixth Brother cry? He was the illegitimate son of the Lu Family. The power struggle had made him suffer a lot. Every time he had met him, he had ended up crying miserably.
Later, when he had gotten older, he had stopped crying. When he had reached adulthood and obtained the Lu Family’s a.s.sets, his wrists had become stable and his back had gotten stiff, so he had stopped crying.
Jiang Zhe’s fists were clenched so tightly that they were bleeding. He was so calm that it was scary. He looked at him and said, “Second Brother, what’s going on? Where have you been hiding from us all these years? What can’t you tell us? Can’t we discuss this?”
They were all big now, and each of them controlled a piece of the Chinese pie. He did not know why he’d had to run away.
He could not think of anything that they could not solve.
“Fourth Brother.” Yan Yuanfei could only vaguely see him. Neither of them had changed, so he was relieved. He smiled, and his voice was gentle as he panted uncontrollably. “Since you’re all here, let’s sit down and talk slowly!”
He had never hoped to see them again in his lifetime.
He would not run away anymore.
“Where’s Big Brother?” Huo Ci let out a cold snort and pointed at him angrily. “Yan Yuanfei, what do you mean we’re all here? Where’s Big Brother? Isn’t he human in your heart?”
“Sixth Brother Huo, who are you talking to? How rude!” Lu Yubai was the closest to his second brother. His eldest brother had been really strict with them, so they had been like brothers and father. He had been a little afraid of him. Only in front of his second brother did he feel the most relaxed. He pointed at Huo Ci and said, “If you shout again, I’ll hit you. Do you believe me?”
“F*ck, are you out of control?” Huo Ci’s anger grew as he bellowed, “He’s been hiding this from me for many years. So what if I beat him to death? Fifth Lu, you f*cking stole my house card again!”
“I took it. I took it. How can it be considered stealing when it’s between brothers?” Lu Yubai was not about to be outdone. His face was red as he argued with him.
He was glad that he had taken the card. Otherwise, given Second Brother’s personality, he would definitely have kept Sixth Brother’s matter a secret. He would not have seen him again in his lifetime.
Yan Yuanfei could not bear to look at them and laughed out loud. His low laughter ruined the originally solemn atmosphere. Upon seeing the duo’s gazes sweep over, he got serious and let out a low cough. “Sorry, you can continue.”
After saying that, he looked up in Jiang Zhe’s direction. He knew everything. Eldest Brother definitely knew. Fourth Brother was Eldest Brother’s echo chamber. He had listened to him since a young age and would not hide anything from him.
Lu Yubai pointed at him angrily and gritted his teeth. “You’d better be honest. What exactly happened back then?”
They had all thought that he had died. They had been sad for a long time. When they had gradually started to accept this fact and learn to let go, a dead person had appeared in front of them.
He knew that he should be happy. At least, he was still alive. However, he was beginning to feel unsure. Was living really better than dying? Or was living more difficult for him than dying?
Huo Ci said, “D*mn… If you don’t explain yourself clearly, I won’t let you off!”
“I agree.” Jiang Zhe sighed helplessly. Since they had the same goal, they were good friends. The two of them had the same objective now.
