Caring for brother

Chapter 74 Part 1: Tomb Sweeping

I'm Ao Lanren, I'm 44 years old, I'm male and I like women. If I look at my appearance according to the standard of [-] out of [-], I'll give myself [-] points.People call me a dandy, but I call myself the leisure class.

For someone like me who has a family, good looks and countless girlfriends, it is understandable for others to be jealous.

But it doesn’t matter if the days are too busy. This morning, I woke up vaguely just after six o’clock, with itching on my face and body. I didn’t need to draw the curtains to know that today must be cloudy.There is no way, this problem has been with me for eight or nine years, and it is very uncomfortable when it rains.

Get up if you can't sleep, I stretched and walked to the bathroom, throwing my pajamas and pajamas on the floor, anyway, a servant helped clean it up.

I'm not boasting, the man in the mirror really has a perfect body.Look at this shoulder, look at this arm, look at this mermaid line love handle... If it weren't for the large dark red burn marks on my body, I could give myself a higher score.

It's all self-inflicted.A few years ago, I was a big smoker who couldn’t leave my hand. When I was inspecting a newly completed restaurant under my name—yes, I also own my own business—there was a gas leak. As soon as I pushed the door, the cigarette in my hand exploded The whole kitchen is explosive.The impact of the explosion directly killed two workers, and I was also sent to the hospital. I lay in the ICU for seven full days before I opened my eyes.

The scars on the body were left at that time, and skin grafting operations were performed several times, but because the area was too large, the scars that stretched over the entire chest and half of the abdomen were left in the end.Nerves were also injured on the face due to the explosion, and the left half of the face was numb.

But the women kind of like me, they say I have a wicked smile on the right side of my mouth, and the burns on my body are very maternal.

In fact, I don't mind calling them mothers, as long as they have big breasts.

Today's horrible weather made me feel terrible all over my body. I stayed up until seven o'clock and couldn't find anything to do, so I called my brother Xu Shengyao.

Xu Shengyao is the heir of the Xu family. He was not the only son before, but now he is.Since he was a child, he was someone else's child that my parents said. It's hard for me not to be psychotic under this kind of mental pressure, but to bear the humiliation and become a brother with him.

This guy's biological clock is very accurate. He definitely opened his eyes at 06:30 in the morning. When I called at [-] o'clock, he was already sitting at the dining table to eat.

I said, Lao Xu, today is the weekend, do you have any arrangements, no arrangement for us to play golf.

Xu Shengyao said no, today is his brother's death day, and he is going to visit his brother's grave.

... Fuck, how did I forget this.

Let me quickly say that I will go with you, I also want to see brother Ye Fan.

Xu Shengyao hesitated for a while, then agreed.

Speaking of Ye Fan, he is really the debt collector of the old Xu family.Uncle Xu married a very beautiful young woman at the age of 65, and got such a baby bump in the same year.

It may be because of the fact that he got a son when he was old, Uncle Xu cherishes this little son very much.I just heard that a woman of unknown background came into the Xu family with her son, and she even copied the guy and rushed to Xu Shengyao to fight for him. But when I saw it, well, Xu Shengyao spoiled this younger brother so much that he was about to spoil his younger brother. .

It's so fucking strange, I'm also the youngest son of my family, why can't my parents pamper me like this.

Originally, this child was born in a wealthy family, his parents didn't care about him, and his brother was busy with work. When I heard about this child again, he had already become a little bastard.

If you say that I was a little bastard back then, otherwise my parents would not have gone to great lengths to get me to go abroad for gold plating.But this kid is more of a jerk than me, and he dared to hit his brother with a wine bottle at the age of 15. Xu Shengyao was so disappointed that he sent him abroad.

Afterwards, I returned to China to be honest for a few years and started my own business. I forgot about this little bastard.

When I heard Ye Fan's name again, he had kicked my good brother from the high position of Xu's president, and the scenery airborne Xu, and the economics and gossip magazines on the street were full of news about this pair of brothers Ni Qiang (That character is Nian Ni, right??).

I'm so fucking scared to pee, who can I not know Xu Shengyao?I don't believe that a person with IQ and EQ similar to mine can snatch the position of president from him!

I thought that Old Xu was dormant, that he suppressed first and then raised, that it was mantis catching cicadas... But when I found him, I found that he was really depressed because of this.

He said that he was tired, and that the Xu family had three pillars, and he was always worried about it.A few years ago, the overseas five-star hotel he built in the land of thousands of islands encountered a tsunami and suffered a huge loss. This year, it was revealed that his trusted old subordinates embezzled public funds for gambling. There were many doubts about him within the group.But at this juncture, his precious younger brother was bewitched by someone, and jumped out to claim that the will left by the old president Xu when he died was false, forcing him to abdicate.

Xu Shengyao said that he could bear the previous ones.If no one is available, then train newcomers, if the overseas real estate is short of money, then focus on domestic... But what he can't stand the most is that his younger brother, whom he has always held in his hands, will jump out of his heart when he needs time the most. He stabbed him hard.This knife was more ruthless than the wine bottle that hit him on the head, and he suddenly wanted to give up.

So Xu Shengyao left.

After hearing this, I really didn't know how to persuade him.Both are children from wealthy families. We are about the same age, so we walked closer.The nasty things he encountered have more or less happened around me.

The two elder sisters above me, in order not to let the family property fall into my hands, tried their best to behave since they were young. They just wanted to set off my muddy mud and couldn't support the wall. Every day at home, it was like fighting a goblin.I don't want to earn money with them, and I really can't earn it, so I just push the boat along and act like a dude. Later, my father passed away, except for some shares that cannot be transferred, cannot be diluted, and have no decision-making effect and a few real estates. thing.The family just stopped.

But I thought Xu Shengyao and Ye Fan were different.Although Ye Fan is a bastard, Xu Shengyao never gave up on him. He insisted on flying abroad every month to get in touch with him.

Didn't expect it to be the same.

Ye Fan's ability is there, and the position of president will not last long.But none of us expected to sit so short.

Xu Shengyao, who had been shut down for several days, learned about his brother's car accident from the newspaper.When he saw the newspaper, he froze for a moment, his whole body trembled, and even his teeth chattered.I thought he was out of fright, so I quickly reached out to pull him, but his hands were cold.

He hurriedly turned on the phone, and as expected, a message rang, and the phone almost died.And among these news, a group of news is particularly eye-catching——

The news came from the manual service desk. After Xu Shengyao shut down the phone, all calls would be automatically transferred to the service desk and the staff would answer it on his behalf.

The message said that after Xu Shengyao shut down the phone, a person named Diao Diao made more than 50 calls and left more than 30 voice messages.

Xu Shengyao shook his hands and clicked to listen.

A young man's voice came out through the earpiece. It was obviously not loud, but it was clearly audible in the silent room.

He said: "Brother... I am fishing, I know I was wrong, I will give you back the position of president, I beg you to come back. Brother... I am stupid, I am stupid, I am too greedy. I Now I don't ask for anything, I just ask you not to ignore me."

I don't know how Xu Shengyao felt, but when I listened to it, I felt a dull pain from the steel nails that were nailed to the ribs after the explosion.

The car accident was judged to be an ordinary traffic accident.At that time, Ye Fan was driving from his villa in Qingshan Reservoir to Xu's mansion. The wind was strong that day, he rushed out from the winding mountain road beside the reservoir, fell under the cliff, and the car crashed and killed.

I accompanied the body identification and the funeral, everything was simple and very low-key.Xu Shengyao carried Ye Fan's ashes to their family cemetery, where they were buried beside President Xu.

In addition to me and Xu Shengyao, there was an unforgettable nun who was present at the funeral.She is not young, she should be more than 50 years old, but she is still outstanding. Wrinkles did not reduce her beauty, but added a bit of vicissitudes of character to her.She is really... really beautiful. When she lightly closed her eyes and chanted sutras, she really looked like a bodhisattva descending to earth.Only when I saw her did I realize that a real beauty does not depend on hairstyle, makeup, or clothing. She just stands there and fascinates people.

I heard Xu Shengyao call her Jushi Ye.

What layman, that face was obviously carved out of the same mold as Ye Fan on the tombstone!

I only know that Ye Fan's mother moved out of Ye's house after the old president Xu passed away, but I don't know that she shaved her hair and became a nun.

Xu Shengyao asked how she was doing recently.

Mrs. Ye... Uh, Jushi Ye said flatly, his son is dead, so why talk about his well-being?

Xu Shengyao nodded and didn't say anything, he just let her cultivate with peace of mind, saying that he would avenge Ye Fan.

Jushi Ye took out a round blue porcelain jar that was not as big as a fist, and asked Xu Shengyao to put some of Ye Fan's ashes for her, and she wanted to take it back to the nunnery.

Xu Shengyao pretended to be some for her, and asked her if she wanted to be enshrined in the Hall of Eternal Life.

She said, no, she planned to put his ashes and the ashes of the old president Xu together on the altar in the house, so that they could be seen sooner or later.

Xu Shengyao was silent for a while, and asked her if she had already calculated that Ye Fan would have such a disaster.

Ye Jushi said that she didn't have the ability.But cultivating the Buddha is to cultivate the fate, the fate of the previous life, the fate of the present life, and the fate of the future life.She knew that this child had a shallow relationship with her and a deep relationship with Xu Shengyao, so she was relieved to let Xu Shengyao take it with her.

Xu Shengyao laughed when he heard this, and asked in a sad tone: "He is dead, so why is it so close?"

Layman Ye didn't answer, just raised his eyes to look at him.

Xu Shengyao waved his hand and told her that he hoped Jushi Ye would recite scriptures more after taking Ye Fan's ashes back, so that he would be reborn into a good family in his next life, and that he would have a brother who loved him as much as himself to protect his smooth life.

And this time, he will live a long life.

Jushi Ye nodded and said that he would definitely, that in his next life he would have an elder brother who dotes on him, and that the two of them would live happily ever after.

After that, I never saw Jushi Ye again, but Xu Shengyao went to see her several times in the nunnery, and they all went back quietly. There were two times when I happened to meet Jushi Ye chanting sutras to the ashes, Xu Shengyao couldn't understand, Standing behind her for a while, he left without disturbing her.

On the way to Ye Fan's cemetery, I asked Xu Shengyao if Layman Ye would come this time.

Xu Shengyao said he didn't know, he didn't inform her.But the last time Ye Fan was buried, he didn't notify her, and he didn't even tell her about Ye Fan's death, but she didn't expect her to appear in the cemetery.I wonder if she will be here this time?

The time on the road was long, and the black clouds outside the car window were overwhelming, and the mood of the people around me was not so clear.

I casually picked up a topic, I said Lao Xu, I dreamed about you yesterday.

He asked me what I dreamed about.

I said I dreamed that you and my second sister got married, and I insisted on being the best man.When the bride threw flowers, she deliberately pointed me on the stage. Fortunately, I dodged quickly, otherwise it would hit me.

Xu Shengyao really laughed, he said why your memory is so bad, I like men.

I slapped my head, damn it almost forgot.

The last time I saw him having a boyfriend was when we were teenagers, and now we are both in our 40s, and we have never seen anyone around him again.

I was shocked and asked, Lao Xu, Lao Xu, you are still a virgin after you are over 40.Hey, tell me about you, there are so many good resources around you, even if you own a film and television company at home, why haven’t you kept one or two small fresh meat... Even if you don’t like fresh meat, An Ruifeng and Andrew brothers a few years ago Didn't both of them come out one after another? You said that you are the boss, isn't this a good opportunity to hug left and right.

Xu Shengyao gave me a sharp eye, saying that I don't need to bother, he is very good.

With such an interruption, the annoyance between Xu Shengyao's brows eased a lot. We walked forward for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the cemetery before noon. At the same time, we left the rain clouds behind us and ushered in a clear sky.

This cemetery is a very famous luxury cemetery in the local area, and only wealthy people can be buried here.The Xu family's cemetery is on the northernmost hill of the cemetery, facing south, surrounded by mountains on three sides and changing water on the other side, the environment is quiet and the Feng Shui is excellent.

Old President Xu didn't like extravagance. When he died, he only invited close relatives and friends. However, Xu's family connections are thin, and there were no more than 20 people present.At that time, Xu Shengyao planted a sapling next to his father's tombstone with his own hands. After all these years, it has grown extremely strong, and it must have grown into a towering tree in more than ten years.

Ye Fan's tomb stands under the tree, and a circle of evergreen shrubs are planted beside the tomb. At first I thought that Xu Shengyao would plant those flowers that mean longing beside Ye Fan's tomb, but I didn't expect to plant only shrubs in the end.He said that the shrubs are evergreen, so that regardless of season, Ye Fan can sleep in a colorful world.

Xu Shengyao wiped his father's tomb clean first, bowed, and soon turned to Ye Fan's tomb, watching quietly.

In fact, I would be more at ease if he was making a lot of noise, crying and laughing, but if he just watched quietly like this, I was most worried, for fear that he would get sick one day.

After a long time, Xu Shengyao knelt down and caressed the photo with a bright smile on the tombstone with his palm, but the person in the photo could never wake up again, and he was forever frozen at the age of 28.

Xu Shengyao said, Diao Diao, I will avenge you.

Xu Shengyao said that the final trial came down last month, and the court pronounced Xing Xi guilty in court, and the death penalty was executed immediately.

Xu Shengyao repeated again, Diao Diao, I will avenge you.

I couldn't hold back, and cried like a dog with a wow.

The dead are dead, and the living are still living in sorrow.All the evidence at the time pointed to Ye Fan's death as an accident caused by distracted driving, but Xu Shengyao didn't believe it. He said that Ye Fan's driving skills were top-notch, and it was absolutely impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.

In order not to attract the attention of the murderer, he secretly investigated for a long time, and finally locked the target. Through the internal and external cooperation of Xu's subordinates, he slowly collected evidence and caught the murderer in one fell swoop.

But the murderer's identity is surprising, he is Ye Fan's biological father's legitimate son!Only then did I know that Ye Fan had no blood relationship with Xu Shengyao.

The murderer surnamed Xing hated Mrs. Ye who was innocently "mistressed" at the beginning, and even hated Ye Fan, and further hated the Xu family who provided Mrs. Ye with shelter.He has been dormant for many years, climbing step by step, and finally catches the thread of Ye Fan.He and Ye Fan made a false appointment, and quickly coaxed Ye Fan, who had no heart for the city, into a circle, willing to be his gunner, and helped him snatch the Xu family.

But when Ye Fan repented and wanted to go to his brother to confess his mistakes to him and rebuild the old relationship, Xing Xi, who overheard Ye Fan crying and calling, beat the killer and tampered with Ye Fan's car, finally killing him in a car accident!

This man is ambitious enough, and disgusting enough.

It took a full year for the investigation and evidence collection trial before and after, until last week, Xingxi was finally executed.

On the day of the execution, Xu Shengyao was allowed to watch it through his relationship. I didn't go, but I heard from Xu's servant that Xu Shengyao locked himself and five bottles of wine in the bedroom that night.

I have been to Xu Shengyao's bedroom, and I know that after Ye Fan's death, a golden spoon was placed on the head of Xu Shengyao's bed. It was securely covered with a crystal cover, and placed on a special base connected to the alarm.

I saw that spoon when I was a teenager and it was still in his showroom.

At that time, I pointed to the spoon and said in surprise, Xu Shengyao, why do you still have a Sinan in your house!

Xu Shengyao said, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is a golden spoon that my father made for my brother when he was born.

I asked why a golden spoon was used, but he was not a golden spoon.

Xu Shengyao explained, do you understand the golden spoon in your palm?My younger brother's nickname is Diaoyu.

Fishing.

Golden spoon in palm.

Damn, the steel nails on my ribs started to hurt again.

After worshiping Ye Fan, Xu Shengyao and I walked down the mountain one after the other.There is also a cemetery at the foot of the mountain, and the price is more than half that of the mountain, but the price of a cemetery is still enough to buy a house in the suburbs.

I am a brave person, and I have no fear of tombstones. Occasionally, when I see an interesting epitaph, I will stop to look at the life of this person.

When I passed a tombstone, I found that this tombstone was so pure and unaffected, it was different from the surrounding ones.Because other tombstones will have stone lions built in front of the monument, and flowers and plants will be planted around, but only a few toys are fixed in front of this monument, with Optimus Prime on the left and Megatron on the right.

Especially the name on the tombstone, usually use the regular and solemn Song typeface or Kai typeface, but this tombstone uses a completely immature children's font, each word is written crookedly, and the radicals are borrowed from each other. .

I read it for a long time before I recognized those words.

——My name is Gao Mo, and I am four years old.

There was a thick stack of newspapers in front of the tomb. I picked it up and found that all the newspapers had the same report: a child trafficking gang was arrested. According to investigations, more than 15 children were trafficked in the past 320 years...

Only then did I remember who this Gao Mo was.

He is the grandson of Master Gao, a famous Chinese painting artist. He was abducted by human traffickers on Christmas nine years ago. Master Gao offered a huge reward, and the police also cooperated vigorously. However, in the end, the criminal gangs were forced to jump over the wall and tortured and killed Gao Mo, who was only four years old. .

The child was dead when he was found, without a piece of flesh on his body. It is said that the police officers present couldn't help but have red eyes when they saw the child's body.

Master Gao's wife fell ill, and Master Gao announced that he would never splash ink after closing his pen.A few years later, someone with good intentions broke the news, saying that the garbage bin dumped by Master Gao's family every day was full of portraits of children.

On the crumpled rice paper, the chubby doll smiled innocently and cutely.

I'm not a gossip guy, but I've heard this too.Human traffickers really deserve to die, I really want to cut those people into pieces.

I put down the newspaper and couldn't bear to read more, and followed Xu Shengyao's footsteps down the mountain.I thought the tomb sweeping was over, but who would have thought that he turned a corner in the cemetery and walked in another direction.

I asked him if he had friends who wanted to see it, and he said yes, they were his former subordinates.

Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I plan to follow him to pay homage to his former subordinates.

Xu Shengyao said that this person was his former secretary, who graduated from Harvard University in economics, with a good mind and strong work ability.It's a pity that because I was busy with work and neglected my health, it was too late to recover when the cancer was diagnosed at an advanced stage.

The relationship between Xu Shengyao and him is beyond that of a boss and a subordinate, and more like a friend. He even chose the cemetery himself.

Because of my empty belly, I have always had a particularly strong mentality of worshiping academic qualifications.As soon as I heard that this person graduated from a famous school, I felt that this person rose to a higher level.

I followed Xu Shengyao to the tombstone and carefully looked at the young man on the tombstone.

The man was young when he died. I counted the date and he was only 30 years old, which can be called an untimely death.In the photo, he is neatly combed and wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He really looks like an elite figure.His face is delicate, his lips are slightly raised, and his eyes are firm. When I look at him, I seem to feel the strength in his heart.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a sense of loss.

I muttered, he has been gone for nine years...

Xu Shengyao responded softly. At that time, he suddenly became ill and left within three months.

He turned to me again and asked me, you always went to my company at that time, you should have seen him.

Have you seen it?

Have I met him?

I thought about it carefully, but I met too many people every day, and I couldn't remember if I had ever seen such an elite secretary by Xu Shengyao's side.

Every time I went to find Xu Shengyao, I came and went in a hurry.If I had walked to the secretariat on the same floor, I might have met him and had a chat with him.

He looks unsmiling, but I believe that with my funny skills, I will be able to make him jump.

Yu Zhile.

I was thinking about the name engraved on the tombstone.

you are not a fish, how to know the joy of fish.

If I knew him, I would call him Lele.

I think we will definitely be friends.

【Finish】

The author has something to say: The first fanfare is the original world fanfare. I didn’t plan to call it No.1, but I suddenly got inspired and thought it would be good to call it No.1!More sense of substitution.

This world is the world before rebirth. Ye Fan's rebirth has changed many things and made everyone have a happy ending.

This episode was done in one go, and I cried while writing it.After finishing writing, take a look at it. In fact, overall, it is not abusive, so feel disappointed.

The next episode is the real world episode, of course it is sweet.
