Chapter 568: Chapter 568, Ungrateful (1 Update)

Chu Yunping looked at his own brother and, after a long while, he finally said, “These years have been hard on you!”

Being the eldest brother, he should have taken care of his younger siblings, but he never expected…

“Big brother, we’re family; there’s no such thing as hardship between brothers. As long as you’re doing well, I’m happy—our parents will be happy too. Once you’re better, things will be just like before: we’ll make money and be merry, and we’ll have a few drinks together with our third brother!”

“Alright, once I’m in better health, we brothers will indeed have a good drink together!”

The events of last night, the events of today; although he was groggy, he was aware of them.

He heard his mother’s crying, his brothers’ shouts of alarm; he had once wanted to be someone who was both loyal and filial, but for one woman, he turned himself into an unfilial and unrighteous person.

His parents loved him, and they never interfered with his choices, always offering their full support. His brothers respected him, and even when the person he chose was entirely wrong, they never said an ill word.

And he took it all for granted, never giving it much thought; instead, he even felt that his poor health had wronged that venomous-hearted Lu clan woman.

He cast aside the love of his parents and the respect of his brothers.

The two brothers rarely sat together to reminisce about the amusing moments of their childhood.

When Xie Zhinuan returned home, Xie Yi was already waiting at the front gate. He ran over with flapping footsteps. Xie Zhinuan squatted down and hugged him, kissing him. “Miss Mommy?”

“Yes, I’ve been good!” Xie Yi said obediently.

Xie Zhinuan felt warmth in her heart, “Then our Ayi has been a good boy, and Mommy is earning money to support Ayi!”

“Mm-hmm!”

The mother and son whispered to each other, and Aunt Chen instructed the servants to set up for the meal.

Qin Mao watched, feeling an inexplicable envy.

Xie Zhinuan never looked sullen in front of Xie Yi; she was always gentle and was very good to him.

He heard that Xie Yi was not actually his aunt’s biological child, but his aunt treated him very well.

Without meaning to, Qin Mao started to miss his mother.

Even with a face full of worry, she was the person in the world who loved him most, and it was because of his illness that she became depressed and joyless.

Now that both his mother and father had returned to Number One Manor, without his being a burden, their love for each other should hopefully recover too.

Thinking this way, Qin Mao also started to smile.

Mu Rourou was memorizing a medical text. Since she expressed interest in learning medicine today, she was promptly assigned her studies. But as she memorized, she grew parched and tongue-tied, losing her confidence. However, after seeing the scarred girl Xie Zhinuan had brought back, she felt it was good to learn something. Even if she couldn’t master it, at least she’d understand the basics—being able to not completely panic when facing illness or emergencies.

However, her teacher was somewhat strict.

During the meal, Mu Rourou looked pitifully at Xie Zhinuan several times.

“…”

Xie Zhinuan served Xie Yi a spoonful of egg custard and gently instructed him, “It’s hot, eat slowly!”

She only gave Mu Rourou a glance and didn’t ask her what was wrong.

Thinking she would ask after the meal.

After the meal, the two children went to take a bath, and after bathing, they still had to memorize some names and properties of herbs.

Then Xie Zhinuan went to check on the girl she had brought back.

The girl was awake, but the look in her eyes as she gazed at the ceiling was filled with hatred, a hatred so intense it was frightening.

“…” Xie Zhinuan reached out to take her pulse.

The girl turned to look at Xie Zhinuan, “Did you save me?”

“Mm!” Xie Zhinuan responded softly.

“Thank you, but even if I recover, I may not be able to pay back the debt for saving my life in this lifetime!” Cuicui said softly.

Once she recovered, she intended to seek revenge.

That man surnamed Sun, she must take his life with her own hands, to avenge Brother Aniu.
