The storm soon vanished.
Jian Suilin deliberately avoided Jian Suiying, and Jian Suiying didn’t intend to seek any trouble. Therefore, the two were at peace for the time being. However, he was quite worried about the Beihai incident, and it was Xiao Lin-zi whom he asked to investigate it. Now, he doesn’t know what the results of his investigation were. After such an incident, he couldn’t contact Xiao Lin-zi on his own volition, so he had to find another way to deal with the matter.
Despite their reconciliation, Jian Suiying has grown distant from Li Yu as a result of this problem. Whenever he thought of what Li Yu said, he couldn’t figure out if he should believe it or not.
His initial thought was that even if Li Yu cheated on him, he wouldn’t take it seriously as long as they kept at it. He didn’t want to waste time worrying about Li Yu’s sincerity toward him, as long as they could be happy together. Although the idea sounded very open-minded, the reality felt more difficult than he expected. He couldn’t help but think about whether Li Yu liked Xiao Lin-zi and how Xiao Lin-zi acted toward Li Yu. The thought that Jian Suilin might also like Li Yu made him very upset, not only because this person was Li Yu, but also because Li Yu was a man.
He found his younger brother’s preference for men to be more offensive than his own preferences. If Xiao Lin-zi really liked a man, he would beat him to death.
Hence, Jian Suiying continued interacting with Li Yu while feeling anxious.
The days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Li Yu’s classes started again. He got busy with school and came over to the company less often. Jian Suiying was busy arranging the shareholders’ meeting at this time. He planned to discuss with other shareholders at the meeting whether to invest in the land at Fifth Ring Road.
Although Jian Suiying held most of the company’s equity and had the final say regarding most of the projects, such a large investment still needed to be decided at a shareholders’ meeting. Jian Suiying himself was inclined to do a good job at this. Although the investment amount of this project is large, the risk is within a controllable range, and the return is good. If he can do this, the company will rise to a new level.
But he did not show off his desire too much.
Several senior executives of the company have their shares scattered, and because they are familiar with the company’s operations, while they have no right to vote at the shareholders’ meeting, they have the right to speak. He didn’t intend to reveal his intentions to these people, but he wanted to hear all kinds of constructive and forward opinions. Jian Suiying is a bold person, but he isn’t reckless. If most of the shareholders were opposed to investing, he wouldn’t go his own way and invest anyway.
Recently, Jian Suiying’s life has been quite wholesome. Perhaps it was because last time, Li Yu was very enthusiastic about him. He felt very proud and elated while he was in the shopping mall. Even with the issue with Beihai, which had made him feel sick at the beginning, he became a little too lazy to manage it, because he had been overwhelmed and planned to think calmly.
For a whole month, he hasn’t seen Jian Suilin, and Li Yu has never mentioned him. In the past, Jian Suilin would call him every once in a while when he had something to do. Now he dared not come, even when he received a text message. Jian Suiying thought carefully, he probably scared the boy that day. He felt that it was impossible to keep going like this. He had to have a good talk with Xiao Lin-zi.
The image of the two holding hands that day was still vivid for him. In fact, he was more afraid of the idea that Xiao Lin-zi really did like Li Yu, than the idea that Li Yu liked Xiao Lin-zi. They relied on Xiao Lin-zi to carry on the family line. If this boy wanted to learn from his footsteps and go about homosexuality, he must not let it pass. He must put a stop to it while it’s still early.
So, he chose a day when he was in a good mood to make sure that he could talk to Xiao Lin-zi pleasantly. He called him and said up front that he wanted to talk to him.
Jian Suilin had no reason to refuse, but could only agree anxiously.
Jian Suiying flipped over his schedule and said, “This Friday, I’ll go home for dinner.”
“En.”
Jian Suiying spoke lazily, “Don’t be so nervous. I won’t beat you up.”
Jian Suilin clenched his fist and said, “Ge, I have nothing to do with Li Yu.”
“I dare you to have anything to do with him. You can’t be like me. You have to take the right path, which is taking a wife and having children to carry on the bloodline, so that our family’s support for you wouldn’t be in vain. Come on, we won’t talk about it on the phone. Let’s go talk about it at home.”
Hanging up the phone, Jian Suiying recalled that day and figured that he really did scare the kid. Once children grow up, they have the ability to remember more than they did when they were young. Now, they can’t be beat up and scolded casually. When they grow up, they will have more self-respect and heart. Although he will never show a good face to Xiao Lin-zi’s mother all his life, he doesn’t want to make their brotherhood too bad. It’s not good to think about it.
At noon on Friday, Jian Dazheng was taking a lunch break in his office when his phone suddenly rang. He was tired of being called when he was napping, so he answered it impatiently.
As soon as it was connected, there came a harrowing cry, which almost scared him out of bed.
“Ge— help me—”
Jian Suiying hurriedly pushed the phone away from his ear and scrunched his face, recognizing the sound of the cries coming from there; they were Bai Xinyu’s.
“Ge, help me. I’m in the wrong. I can’t stay here for a day longer. I’m going crazy!”
Jian Suiying almost laughed at this.
Bai Xinyu cried, “Ge, ge…” as if he were dying.
Jian Suiying roared at the phone’s mic, “Shut up, stop crying!”

Bai Xinyu cried loudly and said, “Ge, this place is a sh*thole. Mobile phones don’t have signal, and we have to get up at 5:00 am every day. They don’t even have girls here. They always bully me and look down on me, ge, wuwuwu. Let me go back. I beg you, ge, wuwuwuwu.”
The boy’s speech was so incoherent that Jian Suiying’s cheeks were starting to feel sore from smiling.
“I told you, give me back the houses first. Why did you tell me all that? You asked for it yourself when you got sent to that place. I, Jian Suiying, didn’t harm you when we were growing up. You motherf*cker, on the other hand, cheated me on my back. Did you throw your conscience to the dogs or is your head full of sh*t?”
“Ge, wuwuwu, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, and I didn’t want to do it, but I owe someone money, and a knife was on my neck. How can I pay it back? Besides, this is what Xiao Lin-zi encouraged me to do. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the courage to–”
“What did you say?” Jian Suiying felt as if he were struck by lightning and jumped up from the bed. “What did you say just now?”
Bai Xinyu sobbed, “Ge, the reason why I’ve been hiding from you is not that I am afraid of you hitting me… No wait, I’m also afraid of you hitting me, but the main thing is that I dare not lie to you when I see you in person, but I dare not tell you the truth either. I’m too afraid.”
“Don’t talk motherf*cking nonsense, what did you just say about Lin-zi?” Jian Suiying’s heart was beating very fast, and cold sweat slid down his back. He initially suspected how the brainless Bai Xinyu, got the courage and intelligence to steal his money. If no one helped him, could he even do it? But he didn’t doubt Jian Suilin.
Bai Xinyu’s words were like a bomb, which immediately set off a storm in his heart. It felt like a docile puppy, that a man had kept for a long time, turned out to actually be a wolf and was ready to bite at any time. How can he accept this?
“Xiao Lin-zi, it was Xiao Lin-zi who taught me how to do it at the beginning. I owed a gambling debt and couldn’t pay it. I dare not tell you or my parents that but he knew it, he said he could help me, but we can’t tell you… Then, the houses didn’t go through my hands at all, he just gave me three million to pay off the debt I owe, then he took the houses away. Then I– I got afraid you would find me, so I went abroad. I never dared to come back, in addition to the fear that you would blame me, and I– I’m afraid. I’m afraid to tell you this. You wouldn’t accept it. “
“I’m going to f*cking kill you!” Jian Suiying roared, “Bai Xinyu! If you had even a little bit of a human brain, you should have told me!”
Bai Xinyu’s heart trembled with fear, “Ge, I’m so sorry…”
Jian Suiying felt so cold that he couldn’t even hold a light phone.
What Bai Xinyu just exposed shocked him so much that he couldn’t digest the fact. His brain was like it was shocked with electricity; it kept buzzing, and he couldn’t recover for a while.
Bai Xinyu was still crying over the phone, “Ge, I beg you, I have already confessed to you. Please forgive me. I will never dare do it again. Please let me go back, ge, wuwuwuwuwu, ge–”
Jian Suiying gnashed his teeth and snarled, “You idiot, stay there forever!”
Jian Suiying’s hands trembled as he drove.
Bai Xinyu, the idiot, would only run into his mother’s arms in case of trouble, and he wasn’t smart enough to lie. Moreover, hearing him cry like that, he wouldn’t dare lie to Jian Suiying. But at the thought of what he exposed, Jian Suiying felt a chill on his back.
When Jian Suilin first came to his house, he had half-length hair and was so shy that he hid behind his mother, just like a little girl. Since their childhood, Jian Suiying had the impression that he was a weak and submissive person, and he never dared to resist his older brother, no matter what he said or did. If such a Jian Suilin had the courage to do these things behind his back, he had to wonder whether his eyes were blind.
Jian Suiying gnashed his teeth and drove home. He wanted to see how Jian Suilin would explain everything that Bai Xinyu told him.
When he got home, it was only 3:00 p.m.
Jian Suilin had just returned from school and had yet to change his clothes.
Jian Suiying usually comes home after eating a bit and doesn’t have plans to stay for much longer. So Jian Suilin looked at him in surprise. After noticing the dark look on his face, he felt uneasy.
Even Zhao Yan noticed that Jian Suiying didn’t look right. She looked at him nervously, then at her son. Jian Dongyuan hadn’t come home yet. She had no one to rely on, so she was even more frightened by Jian Suiying.
Jian Suilin said, “Ge, why did you come back so early today?”
Jian Suiying stood with his hands in his pockets, back straight, chin slightly raised, and looked at him impassively.
Jian Suilin was still the same as he was familiar with. He looked like a little girl, gentle and harmless. He could be beaten until round and flat, and he’ll never dare resist. Because he was too confident in his authority and because Jian Suilin had never dared to resist him since childhood, he never thought that Jian Suilin would dare to do anything against him.
Jian Suilin was afraid of him. He had an intuition that something was wrong, and it was not about the last time with Li Yu. When his brother called him earlier, he sounded very normal and was even placating him. His brother had always disdained hiding his emotions in front of him, so something else must’ve happened. No, it should be what happened today; otherwise, his brother would not be at home now.
Jian Suilin calmed down and asked, “Ge?”
Jian Suiying raised his feet and went upstairs, saying, “Come up, I have something to talk to you about.”
Zhao Yan’s eyes flashed with panic as she watched Jian Suilin anxiously.
Jian Suilin gave her a reassuring look, then shook his head and followed Jian Suiying upstairs.
Jian Suiying went upstairs, pushed the door of Jian Suilin’s room open, and went in first.
Jian Suilin looked at the opened door waiting for him and seemed to suddenly realize something. He took a breath, calmed down, straightened his back, walked in, and closed the door behind him. He thought of his worried mother downstairs and locked it silently.
Jian Suiying sat on Xiao Lin-zi’s desk with his legs folded. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and took a slow drag.
Jian Suilin spoke softly, “Ge, smoke less.” The tone was gentle and caring, as always.
Jian Suiying looked up and said, “Come here.”
Jian Suilin approaced.
Jian Suiying held a cigarette in between his fingers, and a small flame flashed in front of Jian Suilin. He said, “I received your call from your Yu-ge today. Guess what he said?”
“To please let him go home.”
“Yes, but there are other things besides this.”
“Oh, what?”
Jian Suiying looked sharply into Jian Suilin’s eyes and said, “He told me that you took the three houses that were originally gifts for Director Fan and his family. Is this true?”
Jian Suilin was not surprised. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, “Ge…”
Then he felt a burning pain in his shoulder.
Jian Suiying pressed the end of his cigarette on his shoulder, and the shirt burned a hole in an instant. The smell of burning flesh filled the air.
Jian Suiying said coldly, “Yes, or no?”
Jian Suilin endured the pain and didn’t dodge or hide. He knew that the matter had already reached this stage, so it couldn’t be concealed anymore. He suddenly laughed.
Jian Suiying threw away the cigarette end, grabbed his neck, turned him around, and pressed Jian Suilin on the bookcase. With a loud bang, several books fell off the shelf and hit them on their shoulders.
Jian Suiying glared at him fiercely, “You must be tired of living.”
Jian Suilin looked at Jian Suiying with complicated eyes, “Ge, in fact, I think there are many loopholes in this matter, but you never doubted me. I’m really moved that you trusted me so much.”
Jian Suiying punched him hard in the stomach, and Jian Suilin was forced to bend down with a look of pain. Jian Suiying grabbed his collar and forced him to stand straight again, “Who gave you so much courage? Huh?”
Jian Suilin smiled, “Ge, I just want to earn some pocket money. Please let me go.” Although he was begging for mercy, there was not a trace of regret in his face. He was satirizing Jian Suiying.
The anger in Jian Suiying’s heart surged up, and he shook his fist and hit Jian Suilin in the face.
Over the past ten years, he has beat Jian Suilin up less often.
The relationship between the two was doomed. They were already unable to love each other from the moment Jian Suilin was born. Jian Suiying grew mature enough to give up violence to vent his dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, he still had to lash out with his fists to get rid of the rage and shame of being taken advantage of.
To his surprise, unlike countless times before, his fist did not fall on Jian Suilin smoothly like usual, but was stopped in the air.
Jian Suiying was stunned. He looked at his wrist, which was being held by Jian Suilin in the air, and was completely stunned.
He never thought that Jian Suilin would resist him. He never thought that Jian Suilin had the ability to resist him.
Jian Suilin smiled sarcastically, “Ge, did you not expect that I have already grown up?”
Jian Suiying stared at this provocative and sarcastic look, and immediately felt that this person made him feel strange.
Jian Suilin took advantage of his stupor and gave his arm a hard pull. Jian Suiying’s arm was immediately twisted back.
He groaned and was hit hard at the waist, and suddenly half of his body went pliant.
Jian Suilin stepped back and looked down at him.
Jian Suiying stood up in pain and stared at Jian Suilin, glaring coldly like ice.
Jian Suilin smiled with his white teeth showing, “Ge, what I like most is your expression. It always seems that everyone around you is sh*t in your eyes.”
Jian Suiying was already so shocked by today’s events that he managed to recover and threw himself at Jian Suilin with a loud roar.
The two finally stopped beating around the bush, cussing at one another at will, and daring not to fight back. Instead, they now fought each other like men.
As Jian Suilin said, Jian Suiying never realized that the brother who was always timid in his eyes had grown up and was completely different from the person he knew. Every fist that hit him was heavy and hard. It was really a man’s strength, not like a weak boy in his memories.
The spacious and tidy room of Jian Suilin was soon in a mess. As the two went to war, all kinds of items got scattered on the ground, and the whole room looked like it had been demolished.
Both of them already had bruises with different degrees of color on their faces, but they were still clinging to each other, trying to cause greater harm to the other. Just when they were completely oblivious to the world except themselves, the door had been loudly pounded on.
“Suiying! Suilin! Open the door! You open the door this instant! Stop! Open the door!” Jian Dongyuan, who was called back home from Zhao Yan’s emergency phone, pounded on the door, sweating as he did so.
After pounding for a long time, a servant finally found the spare key for Jian Suilin’s room. Jian Dongyuan hurriedly opened the door, and saw the two men rolling on the ground and fighting one another fiercely.
Jian Dongyuan stared in shock for a few seconds, then roared, “You two bastards, stop it!”
Jian Dongyuan’s driver and bodyguard rushed forward, risking being accidentally punched, and separated the two.
Zhao Yan saw Jian Suilin’s blue nose and swollen face and burst into tears.
Jian Dong went up far and slapped each of his sons on the face and shouted, “What’s the matter, ah! What’s going on!? How old are you already! How old are you!”
Jian Suilin’s mouth was flat, and he choked bitterly, “Dad, I’m sorry…”
Jian Dongyuan then turned to his first son. He shouted at Jian Suiying, “Are you bullying your brother again, ah!? Answer me!”
Jian Suiying glared at Jian Suilin contemptuously, spat a bloody spit on the ground, and turned away.
Jian Dongyuan was so angry that he jumped, “Suiying! Stop! Damn you! Ask yourself, how old are you!? You’re already almost thirty!”
Jian Suiying turned a deaf ear. This place made him sick. He just wanted to leave and breathe some fresh air.
Just as he stepped out of the door, Jian Suilin threw him an even bigger bomb.
Jian Suilin’s head was bowed as he was held by his mother. His eyes flashed with venom. He opened his mouth and spoke, “Ge, if you still misunderstand me, just go and ask Li Yu.”
