When Rong Zixiao dragged his tired body back home, it was already late at night.

He was busy with the company's affairs all day. After work, I went to visit my sister Zifan. She has been preparing for an entrance exam lately and has a lot of homework. Because her mother's condition recurred from time to time and required a comprehensive examination in the hospital, there was no one at home to take care of her, so she temporarily stayed at the house of her mother's friend Lin Huaiqin for a few days. After having dinner with his sister and instructing her a few words, he rushed to the hospital non-stop to learn about his mother's condition. It is gratifying to note that my mother's illness has now improved greatly, and she will be discharged from the hospital and go home when all the results are available. So even though it was late when he got home, he was still in a good mood.

met the housekeeper Chen Bo head-on, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Just say something." Rong Zixiao didn't like his spitting appearance.

"It's the eldest young master...... He's back! ”

"What? Didn't I tell you not to let him in? Rong Zixiao said angrily.

"We ...... We can't stop it. Uncle Chen said helplessly.

Rong Zixiao knows them. If it was the second brother Zizhong, they might symbolically stop him. But Rong Ziyi, I'm afraid they don't dare to stop it at all.

"Where is he now?"

"In the old lady's room." Chen Bo breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the third young master will not pursue it.

Rong Zixiao walked upstairs quickly and walked to his grandfather's room. When he got closer and heard that there was no movement inside, he thought about it and slowed down his steps.

The door of my grandfather's house was hidden. He silently pushed the door open. The room was warm, and only a floor-to-ceiling lamp was lit, which emitted a soft light under the lampshade. Grandfather sat in a wheelchair, his head bowed, and he snored slightly. And the eldest brother Rong Ziyi sat on the carpet at his grandfather's feet, leaning against the wall, and was already asleep.

His glasses were removed and placed on the ground to the side, the buttons of his suit were unbuttoned, and his tie was loosened. He reclined there with his eyes closed, as still as a painting. It's been a long time since Rong Zixiao has observed his eldest brother so closely. He suddenly noticed that there were a few obvious wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and there were a few shocking white hairs in his dark thick hair. He didn't sleep well, and his brow was still wrinkled into a Sichuan character. The body is not relaxed, and the shoulders are slightly pressed forward, maintaining a defensive posture.

Rong Zixiao was once very proud of his eldest brother, Ziyi. From childhood to adulthood, he grew up along the path of Ziyi. The school he attends is the same school that his eldest brother once attended. Until when he was in school, there were still teachers who were talking about how talented and excellent his eldest brother was back then.

Inevitably, some people will make comparisons between the brothers. Until everyone discovers that these two brothers are actually very different. The two are equally talented in reading, but Ziyi is well-read and memorized, and Zixiao is better at calculus and reasoning; Ziyi is hard at work, while Zixiao is lively and active, with a wide range of hobbies. Even in terms of appearance, the two brothers are not the same. Zixiao looks like her father, her round face is very affable, and she is likable everywhere; And Ziyi is like his deceased mother, thin and angular. Later, when Azusa graduated from university and wanted to further her studies, she chose the United States instead of going to Japan first and then to Europe like her eldest brother. The two brothers studied different majors and embarked on different paths, and no one compared them to each other anymore.

Just as he tried his best to be Zifan's brother, Rong Ziyi has always been a good brother to Zixiao. Even in the days when he traveled across the ocean, every thick letter he wrote to his family also conveyed his love and longing for his family and younger siblings. The distance in space does not cause any sense of alienation between each other. The relationship between brothers and sisters has become more and more intimate and firm.

Everything changed after Rong Ziyi returned to Shanghai this time. He suddenly became unfamiliar and caught off guard.

He entered the new government as a senior official, and his behavior was unpredictable, sometimes close to his family, sometimes ruthless.

However, after all, blood and family affection are constantly parting, how can it be said that the opposite can be reversed? Thinking of this, Rong Zixiao suddenly became discouraged. In troubled times, people are already lucky to be able to survive, who can guarantee what will happen tomorrow? Family, why do you have to fight to the death? He was angry that his mother was sick, but he was also the eldest brother he had called for more than 20 years!

He picked up a blanket casually, quietly walked to Rong Ziyi's side, and leaned over him. Although his movements were as gentle as possible, Rong Ziyi's eyes immediately opened, and they were blazing, not like he had just fallen asleep, and he regained his clarity almost instantly.

He saw that it was Zixiao, and then looked at the blanket on his body, with a smile in his eyes, and nodded his thanks. Rong Zixiao's face immediately stiffened, and just as he wanted to speak, he saw Ziyi put a finger to his lips and made a silent gesture. He glanced at his grandfather, pointed to the door, and said silently, Let's go out and talk.

---------------------------

This is his father Rong Bin's study, and everything is furnished as before his death, and it has not moved at all. The two brothers glanced at the mahogany chair that their father used to sit on, and walked towards the sofa in a very tacit agreement.

It's just that Rong Ziyi walked behind. He closed the door to the study very carefully.

"I didn't expect it to be so late. You just got back from the hospital, right? Rong Ziyi asked, this time the tone was unexpectedly friendly.

Zixiao snorted coldly, not wanting to answer. He was afraid that he would say something that he would regret.

"I know you blame me, and indeed, I blame myself. I didn't expect my wife's health to be so bad. I...... I'm so sorry. Rong Ziyi's attitude is very sincere.

"Mother's health is fine for the time being." Seeing Rong Ziyi's apology, Zixiao couldn't be indifferent, and reluctantly replied: "It's just that the doctor said that she can't be stimulated anymore, and it also makes her worry less." But I think there are too many things that my mother can't let go, and I'm afraid it's hard to do that. Rong Zixiao meant something.

Ziyi nodded silently: "It seems that I have nothing to say except sorry." Ah Xiao, take good care of her, it's all up to you. ”

Rong Ziyi rarely puts his posture so low, but Zixiao is a little uncomfortable: "My mother, I will naturally take good care of it, and I don't have to worry about you." ”

In the face of obvious hostility, Rong Ziyi pondered for a while, but decided to be straightforward: "Ah Xiao, please calm down." There are some things that my brothers and I have taken this opportunity to explain calmly today. ”

"What's the matter?" Seeing his serious expression, Zixiao was a little puzzled.

"Tell me, have you found anything unusual after you took over the company for so long?" Rong Ziyi first asked rhetorically.

"What do you mean by that?" Zixiao was taken aback. It happened suddenly, and he didn't control his facial expressions well.
