Caring for brother

Mrs. Ye's words fell heavily on Ye Fan's head like a bolt from the blue.He was stunned for a full minute, chewing this sentence in his throat over and over again, before he finally understood the meaning behind it with difficulty.

He foolishly turned his head to look at Xu Shengyao beside him, but found that there was no surprise in his brother's eyes, only full of worry and pity.

Combined with the verbal battle between Xu Shengyao and Mrs. Ye before, no matter how stupid Ye Fan was, he would understand that his elder brother already knew about this secret, but he kept it from him.

Seeing that his face was completely drained of blood, Xu Shengyao knew that he was feeling hard, so subconsciously, he squeezed his fingers tightly with his hands.However, Ye Fan broke his hand away from Xu Shengyao's palm inch by inch, even if every finger squeezed Zihong with too much force, he would not hesitate.

Ye Fan let out a heavy breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Mrs. Ye saw what he wanted to ask, and said a step ahead: "Old Xu also knows about this matter, and there is no cheating or cheating between me and him... He is a very kind person, but we really don't have a husband and wife fate." She He paused, gave Ye Fan some time to accept, and then continued, "In terms of kindness, your brother has indeed inherited his father's qualities very well, but I think you are not young, and some things are always hidden from you. It's no good."

"Aunt Ye, although you are an elder, I don't think what you said is right." Xu Shengyao interrupted her, and said bluntly, "I'm not trying to hide it, but I don't think there are many lives at all. The need for something. I grew up watching Diao Diao, and I know he is more sensitive than he shows. If I tell him something that is not his own, it will not change the status quo for any good. Make him worry in vain."

Xu Shengyao turned to his side and threw Ye Fan who was in agitation, regardless of his struggle, he hugged him very hard into his arms. "Diaodiao, brother will apologize to you later. You just need to remember that my father and I do not care for you out of sympathy or pity. We love you because you are a part of our family. It doesn't change whether we are related by blood or not."

His persuasion had some effect. Although Ye Fan was still panting loudly, he no longer resisted Xu Shengyao's embrace.Xu Shengyao didn't know how much he listened to what he said, but now is not a good time to apologize, and we will discuss it in detail when they get home.

He turned his gaze to Mrs. Ye on the opposite side of the sofa, with undisguised coldness in his eyes.He vaguely knows about her past, and also understands why his father took her home painstakingly. She is Ye Fan's mother, but this does not mean that she can suddenly reveal her innocence to him after 21 years of ignoring him. truth of meaning.

Mrs. Ye met his gaze, with a calm expression and a little confusion, as if she didn't understand why the two brothers had such a strong reaction when she informed her out of good intentions.

Xu Shengyao suddenly realized that Mrs. Ye, who had lived alone for more than ten years in a simple living environment, had almost no experience in contacting outsiders. She only lived in her own world, and what she thought was right would always be right.She felt that telling Ye Fan the truth was for his own good, but she never thought that it might hurt Ye Fan's feelings.

She is indeed innocent, but her innocence is hateful.

Xu Shengyao wished he could take his fishing away now, but Ye Fan held him down.

Ye Fan asked: "...if I wasn't my father's son, why did he marry you? I want to know the truth about that year."

Mrs. Ye had already expected that he would ask questions, but the events of 20 years ago had been mottled and blurred into a black stain in her memory.She was silent for a long time, so long that the brothers thought she would not speak, so she spoke slowly.

"I know that after I entered Xu's house, there have been gossips about my appearance, not only the servants at home, but also those strange newspapers. But no one knows where I come from...Of course they can't find out, Because before I met Lao Xu, I had been living in a nunnery on the mountain, and I was a nun who had returned to lay life."

Ye Fan: "...Huh?"

In the few minutes just now, he has used all the bloody gossip he has seen and heard in his two lifetimes, and he has pieced together no less than ten kinds of heavy past in his mind, but none of them is more incredible than the truth poured out of Ye Fu's mouth .

But when this reason was in front of him, Ye Fan had to admit that it solved the doubts that had plagued him for more than 20 years.Mr. Xu has a big family and a big business, and his every move is exposed to the spotlight, but the woman he brought home at the age of 65, none of the paparazzi can find her past.She has no classmates, no friends, and never even mentioned relatives.Ye Fan has never heard her talk about himself, nor has she seen that she is as enthusiastic about communication and fashion as other students' mothers.

And Xu Shengyao beside him was also shocked. When Mrs. Ye came to the house, Xu Shengyao was already 15 years old. Some said a few words, thinking that she had escaped from somewhere, but they didn't expect that she was a monk who had returned to lay life.

Mrs. Ye continued: "I was abandoned in front of the nunnery since I was a child. The masters in the nunnery took me in and raised me up. The life in the nunnery is carefree. Every day, I follow the sisters to do morning classes and clean up. , farming, practicing martial arts, without any waves, I thought my life would continue like this... But one day, when I was pouring vegetables in the back mountain, I met a lost young man, he said he was with his mother Those who go up to the mountain to pay respects to the Buddha, but the nunnery is full of female guests, so he wandered around outside the nunnery by himself, unexpectedly lost his way."

The subsequent story was no different from Ye Fan's expectation.Mrs. Ye is beautiful, which can be seen from Ye Fan's appearance. A real beauty is not limited by clothing, hairstyle, or makeup. Hai Qing couldn't hide her beauty either.She has lived in a nunnery with only women since she was a child. Even if she occasionally sees men, they are very old pilgrims or young children. She has never seen a gentle and considerate youth similar to her age.

In fact, that man is not handsome, but he is very good at sweet talk.The little nun was lured away by him in a daze, and after several months of secret love, she broke the precept in the woods behind the mountain with half a push.At that time, the man vowed that he would let her return to vulgarity and marry her as his wife, but not long after, the man disappeared on the grounds that he went to another city to handle work.

As the man left, the little nun's belly grew bigger.She has never taken a physiology and hygiene class, so she only thought she was fat. While waiting patiently for the man to come back to marry her, she worked hard to maintain a slim figure, but more than five months passed, the man did not come back, and the fat Hai Qing began to be unable to cover her growing belly.

An experienced nun in the nunnery noticed her change and took her to find the host.The host thought she was young and was bewitched by others, and asked her to have an abortion, but she waited infatuatedly for the man to come back, and was determined to return to vulgarity.

But when she really stepped out of the nunnery's door with her luggage in her arms, she looked around in a daze, but didn't know where she should go.

The pure environment created her character and experience. For her, the nunnery is her home, and the senior sisters and masters are her sisters and aunts.She left home on impulse, but found that there was no place for her anymore.

At that time, Mr. Xu went to Lin Province to discuss business. On the way back, he found a nun with a big belly wiping tears while walking on the road. He stopped and asked her if she needed help.

The little nun was so stupid that she never thought that a stranger might be a bad person. When she saw an old man sitting in a car appearing in front of her kindly, she obediently asked whatever she asked.Old President Xu is kind-hearted, seeing that she really needs help, he decided to make a good relationship and help her.

He first found a place to settle down for the little nun, and then sent someone to look for him based on the background of the man described by the little nun.He is old and has seen many things, and he knows in his heart that the man will never be found.Sure enough, the person he sent reported that the man was actually married long ago, and the child was three years old.

The little nun was heartbroken, she thought she had made a mistake, and wanted to kill the child and return to the nunnery to admit her mistake, and never go down the mountain again.However, the flesh and blood in her belly had been there for more than seven months, and what was killed was not a mass of dead flesh, but a living human life.

She hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to do. On the one hand, she wanted to go back to the nunnery to green the ancient Buddha, but on the other hand, she couldn't bear to kill a life with her own hands.President Xu thought she was pitiful, so he persuaded her to stay. She is only in her twenties, and she can try another life.

He gave her a step down: "...I only had a son when I was 50 years old. I was very smart since I was a child. Now I am only 15 years old, and I am much older than many adults. But Huiji will hurt, he I don't have a common language with my peers, and I often go alone. I am too old to accompany him for a few years. I am really worried that after I leave, he will spend his life alone. I think he will need a soft little life, come Let him worry about it."

So like this, the little nun changed her face and became Mrs. Ye, and walked into Xu's house with a big belly.Only then did she know that the Xu family was so rich.

After the child was born, every time Mrs. Ye saw him, she would think of the stupid things she had committed, and she had no intention of taking care of him.Xu Shengyao did indeed start throwing his love and care on Diaoyu, as the old president Xu had expected.As the naughty and cute Diao Diao gradually grew up, the old president Xu was also coaxed from ear to ear by this silly child. He didn't want Diao Diao to be as famous as Xu Shengyao, but only hoped that his life would be smooth and safe, and that his life would be safe and sound. The wind and rain will be blocked by his brother.

……

After the long story was finished, Mrs. Ye took the teacup in front of her and moistened her throat.

Ye Fan and Xu Shengyao were immersed in this long story, and neither of them spoke for a while.They didn't ask Mrs. Ye who was the name of the man she met back then and where he lived, because it was just a trivial matter that wasn't worth mentioning.Mrs. Ye, who seems to be indifferent to everything, was once so insane and stupid, and the appearance of Mr. Xu brought her out of her confusion.

When Ye Fan first heard that he was not his own, there was a loud buzz in his head. His confusion about his father surged out, and he felt that he had no inheritance rights because he was not related by blood.But following Mrs. Ye's narration, Ye Fan gradually calmed down. No matter what reason his father persuaded Mrs. Ye to give birth to him, it was a great luck for him.

It is no exaggeration to say that CEO Xu gave him life, a wealthy family, and a carefree life... Most importantly, he gave him a mature and considerate brother and a gentle and tolerant lover.And these are definitely not measurable by shallow inheritance rights.

Mrs. Ye quietly waited for them to digest the past, and when they calmed down, she continued: "I have been working hard to adapt to the secular life, but the longer I stay, the more I find that I miss the peaceful life on the mountain. Every day the cock crows, the sunset rests, chanting scriptures, practicing martial arts, growing vegetables... I have been away for too long, it is time to go back."

"Why now?"

"Actually, after Lao Xu passed away, I really wanted to go back. But after thinking about it, I decided to wait until you were 21."

Ye Fan was puzzled: "Why did you wait until I was 21?"

Mrs. Ye replied: "Because I met your father when I was 21 years old."

Ye Fan frowned: "I only have one father."

"I know, I'm referring to Old Xu." Mrs. Ye glanced lightly at Xu Shengyao's arm embracing Ye Fan, and said quietly: "When I was 21, I met Old Xu who influenced my life. I want to wait Wait and see, see if you will meet someone who can affect your life like me. I thought I would be disappointed, but it seems that you have found your little Xu. "

She has always spoken in an unhurried and calm tone, and Xu Shengyao can't figure out if she already knows something.But it doesn't matter, no matter how downcast she is on the relationship between the two brothers, it will not affect their mutual feelings.

It was late, Madam Ye left them for lunch.The dishes during the banquet were light and all vegetarian, but when Ye Fan and Xu Shengyao finished eating, they found a golden fried egg buried under their bowls of rice.The mother and son did not speak at the dinner table. They knew each other that this would be the last meal they had together.

After eating, Mrs. Ye sent the two of them out the door.While Xu Shengyao was talking to the driver, Mrs. Ye called Ye Fan aside.

She said: "I have already made an agreement with the abbot of the nunnery, and they welcome me home very much. I will go up to the mountain to practice meditation next week. You don't have to send me off, let alone come to see me."

Ye Fan mocked himself and asked, "Is it because our fate is over?"

Madam Ye looked up at him.She is not tall, and only reaches Ye Fan's chin. When she raises her eyebrows to look at people, she can vaguely see the unstained style of her youth.

Mrs. Ye said: "I know you are dissatisfied with my statement, but practicing Buddhism is to cultivate fate. To cultivate the fate of the past life, the fate of the present life, and the fate of the future life. To cultivate the fate of relatives, love, and hate. At the end of last year, one night I I suddenly woke up from a dream and felt that my relationship with you was broken. At that time, I thought something happened to you. But soon the palpitations disappeared, and I thought it was my illusion... But when you appeared in front of me today When I was in front of you, the feeling of fate was very obvious."

She finished clicking, smiled at Ye Fan, and stretched out her hand to straighten his wrinkled T-shirt. "Finally, I know I'm not a good mom, but I never wanted to be."

Ye Fan was speechless.

On the way back, Xu Shengyao wanted to explain to Ye Fan why he concealed his background, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Ye Fan blocked his mouth with a kiss.

"Brother...I'm so tired." Ye Fan sat in his arms coquettishly, wrapping his arms around his neck.

Xu Shengyao patted him on the back thoughtfully: "Tired?"

"No, my waist is tired..." Ye Fan couldn't see his eyes when he smiled, "My mother really doesn't enjoy it at all, the sofa is so hard, my butt will be broken if I sit on it."

Xu Shengyao kissed the baby in his arms distressedly, and gently massaged his waist with his big hands: "Then sleep for a while, brother rub it for you."

"Ah."
