Chapter 158 - Past

Rong Zheng and Bai Leshui returned to their room, closed the door, and tore the painting.

The painting was cut several times, and it would be faster to tear it from the middle. When Rong Zheng took the painting back, he didn't expect to be able to hang it on the wall intact. He guessed the other two paintings will not end better than this one.

A thin piece of linen was pulled out from the bottom. Bai Leshui put the cut cloth together and saw the content on it clearly.

A short note written in traditional Chinese characters.

[Nightmare, nightmare again. Recently, I always dream of a man whose face I can't see clearly standing on an island looking at me, finally turning into a skeleton and rushing towards me. The nightmares are getting more and more frequent, I'm so scared.

Mother said father had such nightmares every day before he died. This is the curse of the Si family. In order to avoid this curse, he sold all his family property, most of which were dispersed, and only took the part that was enough to live on, changed his surname and name, and ran here to live. But it was useless, he still died.]

[Mother passed away, I heard grandmother also passed away early. It is difficult for the one left behind to survive for fifteen years. So like me, father became an orphan before he was fifteen, so did grandfather. When did the curse begin?]

[I am twenty years old this year, will be married at the age of twenty-three, and died at the age of thirty. In this short life, even love is cursed. I want to get rid of it. Everything has its cause and condition, the curse must have a beginning. Find the cause can cut off the result.]

[I found old photos. My ancestors used to be quite rich. Look what I found, an album of three brothers. Because of the curse, father, grandfather and I are all only children, no second child has ever been born. The source must be here.]

[I found the original site of my hometown. I didn't expect that my family used to be quite rich. It was the largest cloth factory here. It's not anymore. Nothing is left.]

[Three brothers, the eldest has the best temper. The old man in the town recalled that when he was a child, he went to the store to buy cloth and accidentally stained the most expensive cloth. The eldest young master of the Si family just smiled and did not pursue the matter. Because the Si family had the eldest young master, business was good.]

[Later, the business was bad. The third young master married the daughter of an underground bank.]

[ An Island in the South China Sea.]

[I met my ancestors.]

[No, it's wrong, all wrong.]

[After a long chat, we reached a deal. It let me go, I handed in sacrifice. Sent a batch every once in a while. The notes are not enough, it's time to start writing a diary. The sacrifices must be offered by descendants from generation to generation. I will do it well. But first, I need money to hand in so many sacrifices. It gave me a lot of money. I decided to solve it in the most convenient way, occupying Haikou and the dock.]

Content ends here.

Bai Leshui read the content from beginning to end and sighed: "Too little information. It would be nice if we could know what the contents of the last two paintings are."

"Enough, the contents behind can be guessed." Rong Zheng replied. He has thoroughly understood the background story of the copy. Looking at the record of [The third young master married the daughter of a underground bank], Rong Zheng sneered, it must be 1069 who dared to set it like this.

This little action made him very upset, although it was just a story setting and had nothing to do with him and Bai Leshui.

Go back and clean it up.

In the parallel world, 1069, who was happily playing with new codes, shook all the data links.

Bai Leshui tilted his head: "Lady Maud and Mr. Si are brothers, they should not be related by blood. Lady Maud was resurrected because of the devil... The it here refers to me?"

Rong Zheng pointed at himself: "Me."

"It's almost time to end, so let me tell you ba, about the love story of 'us'." Rong Zheng said with a smile, with a bit of gnashing of teeth in his tone.

Bai Leshui: "It seems to be a tragedy."

Rong Zheng nodded.

This is a story about wanting but not getting.

In terms of time, it was nearly two hundred years ago. A family with the surname Si in a certain town had no children. Don't know if they listened to the words of a monk or a Taoist priest and thought that adopting a boy could recruit a brother for the mother.

They brought an orphan without a father or a mother and raised him under the name of a woman, named Si Zhao.

Four years later, the woman got pregnant as she wished and gave birth to her first son.

Si Zhao was not abandoned, but continued to be raised. As a small contributor to this family, he could enjoy the same treatment as the real eldest son Si Nan.

Three years later, the woman had morning sickness again, there was another little life in her belly.

The woman was very happy. Just then, a foreigner came to this town with a magical thing that could leave a person's image on paper. The woman asked to take a photo as a souvenir and took the first photo of this family. That year, Si Zhao was seven years old, Si Nan was three years old, and Si Bei was still in his mother's belly.

After all, he is not a biological child. No matter how well Si Zhao is treated, his relationship with the two elders of the Si family is still not close. He is just a hero who brings two younger brothers and can live without worries.

The two elders have a light attitude towards Si Zhao, but the two younger brothers are different. Each one is more attached to Si Zhao than the other. Especially Si Nan, he follows his elder brother in everything.

Si Zhao knows that he is not a biological child. He does not know the true meaning of his adoptive parents adopting him. He just thinks that his adoptive parents are kind and vows to study hard and repay them in the future. Si Zhao is very outstanding. In view of the good influence he has brought to his two younger brothers, his parents did not stop them from getting close.

They should have stopped it, otherwise things would not have turned out like this.

When did the relationship between the three brothers start to deteriorate ne? No one knows.

Si Zhao cares more and more about Si Bei, while Si Nan becomes more and more jealous of the difference of his elder brother toward his younger brother.

As the youngest of the three brothers, Si Bei always smiles and enjoys the caring care of his elder brother, then raises his eyebrows to provoke his second brother.

The childish behavior of competing for favors started at the age of eight and lasted until the age of eighteen.

As time passed, everything seemed to have changed, but it also seemed to have not changed.

Until one day, Si Zhao found that he became more and more nervous when he saw Si Bei's smiling face, when Si Nan was furious when his mother mentioned whether Si Zhao should get married. They all realized, something was different.

Si Zhao knew that he was not his biological son, because of this, he knew that he should not have these thoughts. His adoptive parents were kind to him, so Si Zhao pretended that nothing had happened. Like before, he put all his energy into managing the cloth factory for his adoptive parents. He did not covet the money of the Si family at all. Everything was paving the way for his two younger brothers. He hoped that when he left here and handed the business over to his younger brothers, he could make his younger brothers' way smoother and their future life more comfortable. This was how he could repay his adoptive parents.

As for himself, take root in another place or forget the feelings that should not exist and start a family, everything is fine.

Si Nan made a choice that was different but similar to Si Zhao. He didn't know that his eldest brother had no blood relationship with him, and thought that this relationship was a sin that should not exist, so he packed his bags and left with the foreigners he knew. He left his homeland, even his own country, fled in embarrassment.

Si Nan did not tell the real reason for his departure, but only left a letter saying that he wanted to go out and see a wider world.

If your parents are still alive, don't travel far away, and if you travel, you must have a plan. Si Nan's behavior pissed off the old couple, they declared that without this son, all the family business would be inherited by Si Bei in the future.

Si Bei, who heard it, looked at his eldest brother in astonishment and said nothing.

Later, Si Bei knew that his eldest brother was not his biological brother. Although his second brother was his biological brother, the string in his mind had never been right. No one knew what Si Nan was thinking every day.

Now Si Bei is the heir of the Si family. Si Bei, who had always thought that he could lie down and wait for death as the youngest son, suddenly learned that he was the future head of the family. His ambitions suddenly grew, he began to interfere in business matters everywhere. Si Zhao smiled and tolerated, then cleaned up the mess everywhere.

The younger brother was very good at studying, but he had no talent in business.

Gradually, the adoptive parents also discovered this fact, they began to consider Si Nan.

The Si family cannot decline. Si Zhao is the best at business, but unfortunately he is not their biological son. Although Si Bei is very good, he does not have enough business acumen. The business continues to go downhill in Si Bei's hands.

Si Bei was very anxious when he heard about this. After thinking for a while, he decided to win over his eldest brother Si Zhao. He wanted to talk to his eldest brother privately.

It was this conversation that made Si Bei accidentally discover Si Zhao's feelings. He was not surprised, disgusted, or happy. Si Bei was just thinking about how to use this deteriorated feeling.

When did the younger brother who was once loved by Si Zhao, become so profit-seeking ne?

People who are confused by feelings continue to lose IQ. Si Bei's ambiguous attitude is like a carrot hanging in front of him, fooling Si Zhao to move forward and reluctant to leave.

He even promised Si Bei, if Si Nan came back, he would still support Si Bei in inheriting the family business.

Anyway, as long as Si Zhao helped, there would be no problem with business.

However, he couldn't use his elder brother who was not related by blood for life, so Si Bei began to consider other ways out. Someone who could be with him for life and had business talent.

Marry a capable wife ba, so that even if his elder brother left, he would have someone to use.

After looking around, he chose the daughter of an underground bank, a woman with a keen sense of business.

But Si Bei forgot that such a woman with a keen sense of business also had a keen sense for other things.

Si Zhao soon learned that Si Bei was going to get married, sadly went to the restaurant to get drunk, and decided to leave on a certain day.

He was drunk and tired, and fell asleep on the table. When he opened his eyes in a daze, Si Bei, who was instigated by his fiancée to look for someone, was standing in front of him.

Of course, there was something he had to ask Si Zhao to do. The family was about to have a wedding, Si Zhao had to help out in any way, especially the comprador type. It would be the most cost-effective to let Si Zhao do it.

Si Zhao confessed his love, said goodbye, and smiled foolishly while holding the bottle of wine, not noticing the livid face of the woman standing behind Si Bei.

"He is your elder brother?" the daughter of underground bank asked.

Si Bei: "There is no blood relationship."

"So you guys can mess around?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know anything, I didn't do anything." He denied it completely.

But it was a fact that nothing had happened.

Even if there was affection, it was the affection between brothers who grew up together, but the affection between brothers faded instantly after learning that the elder brother was not his biological elder brother.

In Si Bei's eyes, brothers who were not related by blood were not brothers at all, but just outsiders who were raised by the family. He only had one brother, Si Nan.

"I don't want to see him at the wedding."

Si Bei was silent for a moment: "You won't see him."

"He must disappear forever." The daughter of underground bank was possessive and jealous. Even if her people was just coveted let her heart be resentful, especially when the man in front of her looked better than her, a woman, so she gritted her teeth.

Si Bei: "...Okay."

A few words determined Si Zhao's future.

At this time, Si Nan was still abroad, looking at the stars and missing his hometown.
