As expected, He Shangye scolded He Shanglu severely, while Ruan Miao lay on the sofa and listened nonchalantly, feeling a little fond of this elder brother who seemed to be difficult to speak with a paralyzed and serious face.
He Shanglu originally wanted to defend himself, but was punished by He Shangye to write a self-criticism. He couldn't resist the authority of his family, so he went back upstairs angrily. Before he left, he gave Ruan a vicious look. With a glance, Miao didn't seem to be reflecting at all.
"What happened this time will never happen again."
After He Shangye trained He Shanglu, he turned his attention to Ruan Miao who was still lying on his stomach. "You go to school separately."
"Thank you, brother." Ruan Miao sat up from the sofa, hesitated for a long time, and then asked in a low voice, "Brother, can I... ask you something?"
He Shangye backed up slightly Leaning back on the sofa, he raised his hand to take off the watch on his wrist and threw it on the coffee table casually, and replied casually:
"You say it."
It's embarrassing for a stranger to ask for money, but he really doesn't know what to do. He is still a student and has no other source of income. If he doesn't bow his head and ask for money, will he be hungry again tomorrow?
"It's like this, I, I don't seem to have a meal card for the school cafeteria, can big brother..." Ruan Miao said with difficulty while lowering her head in embarrassment, his hands were tearing at the hem of his clothes uneasily, and his palms were sweating a lot due to nervousness, his face was also flushed with shame, like a poor man living under the fence.
He Shangye probably didn't expect that he would ask him to borrow money. He stared at Ruan Miao for a long time with eyes as deep as cold pools and remained silent without responding to him.
The courage that Ruan Miao had worked up with great difficulty was punctured again at this moment. He felt that he was really spineless, and just about to open his mouth to take back what he had just said, but He Shangye spoke again.
"Have you never had a meal card? I give you 10,000 living expenses every month. What have you been doing?"
Hearing what he said, Ruan Miao's three views were shattered.
He knew that the He family in the original book was a wealthy family, and his original family was also very rich, but not rich enough to give a high school student 10,000 pocket money a month!
What is the concept of ten thousand a month? Wages are higher than many office workers!
He was still in the shock of being rich, but He Shangye automatically interpreted his reaction as unspeakable, so he waved his hands casually and said coldly: "Forget it, you don't have to answer that. Since you said it, I have an obligation to take care of you before you become an adult, and you can use the money I give you wherever you want." I'll get someone to transfer money to your account later, remember to get a meal card."
After He Shangye said this, he stood up from the sofa and went straight to the study on the third floor. Ruan Miao just had time to say thank you when he looked up, but there was no one in front of him in a blink of an eye.
Comparing He Shanglu, who never gave him a good face from the beginning, and He Shangzhi, who almost treated him as a transparent person, although the elder brother of the He family was a little cold, he turned out to be the best person to him.
Ruan Miao sighed in his heart. He sweated a lot all the way. He went back to his room to get his clothes and took a hot shower. He was just about to sit at the desk and review his homework when his phone rang. He picked it up and looked. I found that there was a sum of money in my account.
Ruan Miao carefully counted the trailing zeros with the mobile phone in his hand, counted back and forth several times, and confirmed that it was 10,000 yuan no matter how you looked at it and wanted to kowtow to Brother He very much.
It turns out that this is the rich man!
Ruan Miao clicked on WeChat and found Brother He's chat dialog box, and was about to express his sincere and excited rainbow fart to this elder brother who picked it up halfway, but as soon as he opened the dialog box, his heart sank.
Although he looked through the original owner's phone yesterday, Ruan Miao basically didn't read the content carefully because he felt that it was not good to watch other people's privates privately. He just jotted down the relationship between various characters. He suddenly felt that his act of borrowing money from He Shangye on the sofa just now was really dangerous.
In WeChat, the original Ruan Miao obviously spoke very warmly to He Shangye, even addressing him as "Brother Ye", and there seemed to be some indescribable ambiguity in his words, not like what normal brothers would say when they get along.
Ruan Miao didn't know how to describe this feeling and felt that he was thinking too much. After all, they were half-brothers. He was very indifferent to him, basically the original owner was talking endlessly, and He Shangye was almost too lazy to talk to him.
And their last conversation was said by He Shangye, and he only replied one sentence.
'You disgust me.'
Holding the mobile phone, Ruan Miao suddenly felt that his blood was cold. He couldn't tell why he felt this way, maybe it was a bit of emotion left in his body by the original owner, and it seemed that something was about to flow out of his eye sockets.
"Strange..." Ruan Miao raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and found that there were really tears.
Ruan Miao squatted on the ground for a long time before suppressing the violent emotion. He was sure that it didn't come from him, so it should be another Ruan Miao.
Thinking of He Shangye's bottomless eyes when He Shangye looked at him on the sofa just now, Ruan Miao couldn't believe that he didn't notice his strangeness, but he didn't make any waves, not even the slightest ups and downs in the arc of his frown, as secretive as A masked dummy.
Ruan Miao felt that he was in a fog now.
Perhaps this is not a book, but a real world, and everyone here is real. As an outsider, he stands in the middle of the fog, and no one can see clearly. Ruan Miao crawled tremblingly. I went to bed and wrapped my quilt tightly, only to feel that everything around me was cold.
He misses his parents and his brother very much.
Hope to see them in my dream today.
—————
Early the next morning, Ruan Miao got up on time. After a night of tossing and turning, his thoughts of leaving this house became deeper. He Shangye said last night that he will always take care of him until he becomes an adult. The subtext is that he will not care about his life when he becomes an adult.
After breakfast, He Shangye did what he said and arranged for two cars. Ruan Miao could take one to go to school alone. He Shanglu rolled his eyes and opened the car door angrily and walked in. He Shangye never looked at him. When Zhi passed by Ruan Miao, he suddenly turned his head and looked at him deeply for a while, then smiled strangely.
Ruan Miao's scalp was numb from her look. He pretended to be calm and walked into another car, and then gently closed the door. As soon as he turned his head, he knew why He Shangzhi laughed so strangely just now.
Because He Shangye was sitting in this car.
He was still wearing the black suit he usually wears, and he was looking down at a document. He only moved slightly when he noticed someone sitting next to him, but he didn't raise his head. Ruan Miao was so nervous that he didn't know what to say, the car had already started the engine and slid out without a sound, so he had to shut his mouth and turn his head to look out the window.
"My car is being sent for repairs. You can feel wronged today." He Shangye said slowly.
Ruan Miao hurriedly nodded to express that he didn't mind. He could still recall the phrase "You make me sick" that he saw on his phone last night. Although what this sentence refers to, the disgust contained in it is real, How dare he move forward?
This time he didn't come out in a panic like yesterday morning. When the car stopped in front of the school gate, Ruan Miao quietly heaved a sigh of relief with his whole schoolbag in his hands. He took a peek at He Shangye who was still looking down at the report. After thinking about it, he finally called He said hello: "Brother, I'm going to school."
He Shangye raised his head and nodded lightly: "Go."
Ruan Miao couldn't see his emotions, so he didn't think about it at all and opened the car door again. Closing it obediently, he quickly ran towards the school gate with his bag on his back, as excited as he was when he was not sick a long time ago.
He Shangye in the car did not continue to read the documents. He rested his chin and stared at Ruan Miao's back running away like a bird from a cage, his eyes slightly confused.
It is enough for Ruan Miao to have money in his pocket, and everyone finds it pleasing to the eye. Although no one will pay attention to him after entering the classroom, he will still happily say hello to the classmates who meet him. After all, he wants to get along with each other Classmates for a long time, it is best not to offend.
It may be that he looks very friendly. Although the students in the class were a little surprised by his attitude, they almost all responded kindly. Everyone came from either rich or noble, and generally, they would not tear their faces openly.
"Morning, Miao Miao." Xi You sat on the chair and greeted him with a bright smile: "You are in a good mood today." Ruan Miao put down her schoolbag and smiled at him: "Good morning. "
You were stunned for a moment, a little overwhelmed by his extremely friendly smile, "What's wrong with you? Aren't you still wary of me yesterday? "
"Man, I should have an excellent character of being able to bend, stretch, and be magnanimous. As the saying goes, life hugs me with pain, but I smile to deal with it. You can't give up just because life is hard. Life is not easy, but you can do it and cherish it."
"Huh? "
Ruan Miao touched his desk, and said righteously: "I figured it out, let them all go to hell! From today on, I will study hard every day, be a useful person to society, and give back in the future! Let's work hard together!"
Xi You: "..."
Is this dumber than crazy?
He took out his mobile phone with a blank expression and flicked it to send information to his hapless second brother.
After reading the message, Xi Li said to Jian Fanyu with a mysterious face, "Ayu, I have some good news for you."
"Your little white tea rival seems to have really lost his mind."
Jian Fanyu opened a page of the book and was lazy. Said "White tea?"
"The abbreviation of idiot green tea, is it nice?" Xi Li asked happily.
Jane Fan was so gloomy and indifferent that she closed the book again.
