July 6th

One year, after the Spring Festival, Liu Tie won a large-scale engineering project. After the preliminary work was ready, Liu Tie and Luo Jie went to the construction site to inspect together. The site, located at the junction of urban and rural areas, occupies land that was formerly cultivated by nearby farmers. As soon as the project began, local farmers came to talk about the conditions. Some people offered to take care of all the earthwork. Some people require that certain engineering materials must be provided by them. In short, some local businessmen want to make a profit from this big project.

Luo Jie was used to this, and he didn't take this matter to heart. just told Liu Tie to try his best to meet the requirements of the locals and not to stiffen the relationship. But that evening, two groups of locals fought on the construction site with shovels. Roger and Liu Tie went to check, and it turned out that the two groups of people who were fighting were two sellers of building materials. A group of people shouted loudly, saying that they were the first to negotiate a good business with Liu Tie, and the materials were supplied by them. Another group of people said that they were shopping around, and Liu Tie also agreed to use their materials.

Luo Jie tried his best to persuade these two groups of people to stop, saying that everyone was out to do business, and there was something to discuss. Luo Jie said bitterly to these two groups of people that the engineering materials we use are of high quality standards, and this is a big project, and we must not be careless everywhere. Therefore, we can't use a certain material in a fixed way, and we do have to shop around. In fact, our company has always had its own fixed purchase channels, but in order to take care of your business, we selectively use your materials.

But the group of people with the most arrogance still refused to give up after listening to Luo Jie's words. They said that since the project used their land, they had to use their building materials, and they would never allow a second peer to supply them.

Luo Jie suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained to the other party with a pleasant face that about the land acquisition, it was Party A's business, and it had nothing to do with them Party B. They are Party B and are only responsible for the construction. Unexpectedly, such a reasonable sentence actually angered the unreasonable local snakes. The leader who stood at the front picked up the shovel and slashed towards Luo Jie.

When Liu Tie saw that Luo Jie was going to be beaten, his eyes immediately turned red. He snatched the shovel from the hand of a migrant worker beside him, and swung his head vigorously at the person who was about to hit Luo Steps. The shovel in the man's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the blood flowed from his head, and his body shook a few times, and he fell to the ground. Liu Tie was protecting Luo Jie, and his hand was gone, and the shovel slammed heavily on the man's head.

The construction site was suddenly in chaos, and someone called the police in time. Police cars roared and took away several of the parties. The group of people who took the lead in making trouble said that Liu Tie must be allowed to pay for his life. Luo Jie negotiated patiently with them, as long as they no longer pursued Liu Tie's legal responsibility, how much money was needed, and the price was set by them. Who would have thought that this group of people was very novel, they said that they didn't want to give any amount of money, they just wanted Liu Tie's life.

The person who was cut by Liu Tie was unconscious for several days, and finally became a vegetative person. Liu Tie was sentenced to five years in prison for excessive self-defense. After Liu Tie served his sentence, he suffered an extreme mental breakdown. The great future was ruined because of his momentary recklessness. Luo Jie's heart was even more uncomfortable, because Liu Tie was trying to protect him, so he accidentally hurt people and made a big mistake. Luo Jie assured Liu Tie that he would definitely take care of Liu Tie's family, whether old or young, and let him rest assured. When Liu Tie heard Luo Jie's assurance, he felt a little comforted in his heart.

Two months later, Liu Tie's wife, Liu Yan, came to visit Liu Tie. She told her husband that she was pregnant. This news made Liu Tie in prison ecstatic. Liu Yan told her husband that Luo Jie had taken Liu Tie's parents over and bought a separate house for Liu Tie's parents. Now, Luo Jie adds a sum of money to Liu Tie's account every month. Liu Tie's heart suddenly warmed, and he told his wife that he would definitely reform well, strive for a commutation of his sentence, and get out of prison as soon as possible.

The next year, Liu Tie's son was born, named Liu Gui, which means looking forward to his father's early return. After Liu Yan became pregnant, Luo Jie invited a confinement lady who specialized in taking care of the mother for her to take care of her daily life. It also makes his wife Bai Xue often send Liu Yan a variety of nutritional products needed by pregnant women. When Liu Yan was about to give birth, Luo Jie sent a special person to accompany him, personally arranged the hospital, and contacted experts in obstetrics and gynecology.

When Liu Tie heard that his son was born, Luo Jie was very grateful. He said to his wife, Liu Yan. Luo Jie has a deep affection for him, and after he is released from prison, he must repay Luo Jie.

With Liu Tie's efforts, he was released from prison a year early. He finally held his son in his arms and listened to him call his father. Life had to go on, and Liu Tie soon returned to Luo Jie's company. He ran frantically around construction sites, hunting for construction projects everywhere. Sometimes, before bidding, he studied the bottom of the bid with his colleagues, often for days and nights. He wants to use his work to repay Luo Jie's kindness to their family in the past few years.

Luo Jie strongly supported Liu Tie's various proposals and tried his best to cooperate with Liu Tie's reasonable new plan. The company's benefits are booming, and Liu Tie is like a tiger descending from the mountain, bringing vitality to the company again. In order to compensate for Liu Tie's lack over the years, Luo Jie not only let Liu Tie enter the company's senior management camp, but also gave Liu Tie part of the shares under his name.

The love between Luo Jie and Liu Tie is deep and meaningful, and they will never give up, and they are talked about by the industry. But Liu Tie was at a party in the department, and unexpectedly heard a drunk colleague tell him that in fact, before Liu Tie and Liu Yan got married, Luo Jie and Liu Yan were lovers. Otherwise, Liu Yanren is so beautiful, why hasn't he gotten married? Even when Liu Tie was in prison, Liu Yansheng's son Liu Gui was Luo Jie's illegitimate son!

After Liu Tie heard this rumor, he gradually became suspicious of Luo Jie. No wonder, Luo Jie took good care of Liu Yan's mother and son. No wonder, Luo Jie would give him some of the company's shares, Luo Jie was thinking about his illegitimate son, right? Liu Tie was restless and mentally confused. One weekend, he took his son to secretly do a paternity test. After the appraisal results came out, he completely recognized Luo Jie's true face.

The appraisal results showed that his son Liu Gui had no blood relationship with Liu Tie. Liu Tie couldn't help crying bitterly and beating himself frantically. The brotherhood of the past is deep, but it turns out to be all an illusion! Luo Jie and Liu Yan secretly messed around, only he was kept in the dark, wearing a green hat for many years, and he still wanted to desperately repay Luo Jie's kindness! Liu Tie vowed to take revenge on Luo Jie.

After Liu Tie returned home, he pretended to be unintentional and told his wife about the rumors outside. Liu Yan disagreed, saying that he was not afraid of crooked shadows. Liu Tie asked Liu Yan, he had been in prison for two months, and Liu Yan was actually pregnant, is this child really his own? Liu Yan's face suddenly flushed, her expression was flustered, and she said angrily that if Liu Tie talked nonsense again, she would take the child away from home.

Liu Tie was completely disappointed in his wife through his temptation. He began to secretly carry out his revenge on Luo Jie. He deliberately relaxed the supervision of the project, poured confusion on the foremen, and broke their sense of responsibility. In the purchase of engineering materials, the deliberate use of counterfeit and shoddy products to obtain high kickbacks, virtually buried a major safety hazard. He also deliberately disclosed the company's trade secrets to competitors.

In less than a year, Luo Jie's company had frequent accidents, and its efficiency declined rapidly. The company has been ordered to rectify by relevant departments many times, which has gradually aroused questions from Party A. When encountering bidding projects, the company has repeatedly failed to win the bid. A well-crafted bid that can always be guessed by the opponent.

After a long time, there was no impermeable wall, and a project manager quietly reported to Luo Jie that it was Liu Tie who betrayed the company. At first, Luo Jie refused to believe that Liu Tie would do something sorry for the company. However, after a private investigation, he secretly confirmed that it was indeed Liu Tie who was plotting against the company and deliberately harming the company. Luo Jie was very sad, and he didn't understand why this brother, who was like a brother and sister, would treat him like this?

Early one morning, Luo Jie called Liu Tie to the office and asked Liu Tie bluntly, why do you want to do something that is not good for the company? Why betray your brother?

When Liu Tie heard Luo Jie's sudden question, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately regained his composure. He glared at Luo Jie, opened his backpack, took out a paternity test from it, and fell heavily in front of Luo Jie. Luo Jie, I treat you as my own brother, look at the good things you have done!

Luo Jie looked at Liu Tie with an angry face in surprise, and reached out to pick up the paternity test on the table. The appraisal clearly stated that Liu Tie and his son Liu Gui were not related by blood. Luo Jie was silent for a while, and he didn't seem surprised by the results.

Seeing Luo Jie's calm expression, Liu Tie was even more sure that his son was born to Luo Jie and Liu Yan. He shouted angrily, Luo Jie, you guy with no conscience, do you still want to deny it?

Luo Jie was not angry, nor did he refute. It's just that he said calmly, Liu Gui, this child, is indeed not my child! I will not do anything that hurts the heavens and the earth. If I have a clear conscience, I will not do anything that will take revenge! You and I grew up on the same mother's milk, and if your mother hadn't fed me, I would have been born starving to death! This great kindness and virtue, I am unforgettable! After Luo Jie said these words, not only burst into tears.

Liu Tie's tears also burst out of his eyes. He said sharply to Luo Jie, I have always regarded you as my own brother, and you are as kind to me and our family as a mountain. I appreciate you, but I absolutely can't tolerate you fooling around with my wife Liu Yan behind my back! If you don't admit that Liu Gui is your affair with Liu Yan, then do you dare to do a paternity test? Let's see if Liu Gui is your illegitimate child! I have Liu Gui's hair here, and we'll do it now, do you dare?

Luo Jie slowly stood up, looked directly into Liu Tie's eyes frankly, and said lightly, why don't I dare? It's just Liu Tie, you have failed my brotherhood for you! In order to protect me, you accidentally hurt people and went to prison. There is no moment when my heart can be at peace. That's why I constantly want to double my compensation and make up for the years you've been in prison. But I never expected that the brotherhood between you and me would be so vulnerable!

How could Liu Tie have the kung fu to listen to Luo Jie's chatter. With red eyes, he yelled at Luo Jie, since you don't admit it, then let's go to the appraisal now and let the facts speak!

Luo Jie wordlessly followed Liu Tie to the appraisal agency. There was no trace of anger in his eyes. But his heart was already twitching with pain.

While waiting for the appraisal results, Luo Jie and Liu Tie sat silently at both ends of a bench. This pair of brothers, who once agreed to live and die together, are now so cold that they have no trace of affection. Their hearts seem to be hurting, and they seem to be caring about the iron-clad brotherhood, but they are unwilling to take the initiative to throw an olive branch to each other.

Liu Tie took out two bottles of water from his bag, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hand Luo Jie a bottle of water. Hey, drink it! Liu Tie said angrily to Luo Jie.

Luo Jie glanced at Liu Tie, didn't speak, and reached out to take the bottle of water. He didn't even think about it, and drank most of the bottle.

The identification results finally came out, and Luo Jie was not Liu Gui's father. This shows that Luo Jie and Liu Yan are innocent, and the child born to Liu Yan is indeed not Luo Jie's illegitimate child.

Liu Tie saw the results, and his mother sighed and looked at Luo Jie remorsefully.

After Luo Jie saw the results, he smiled self-deprecatingly. He was about to say something, when suddenly his face turned pale, his stomach ached excruciatingly, and he fell to the ground with a thud. The moment he fell to the ground, he looked at Liu Tie suspiciously.

Liu Tie's eyes were full of horror and self-blame, and he looked at Luo Jie with a complicated expression. He ran to Luo Jie's side, tears rained down, and said with trembling lips, why are you so stupid, if I give you water, you dare to drink it? I hate you to death, and you still believe in me so much! I hurt you, I put poison in your bottle of water!

A painful look appeared on Luo Jie's face, but a disapproving smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The doctor who rescued him quickly rushed over and carried Luo Jie to the stretcher. On the way to the emergency room, Luo Jie lay in Liu Tie's ear and said intermittently, Not long after you were detained, late one night, Liu Yan passed through a small alley on the way home and was raped by a masked man. Afterwards, Liu Yan couldn't move around and called me and told me that she had been robbed. I hurried to the place where the accident happened to find her and called the police immediately. But Liu Yan didn't let the police, she said that she was afraid of ruining her reputation, and she was afraid that your parents would not be able to bear it if they found out. Later、、、、、、 Liu Yan went to the hospital to have an abortion, but the doctor said that her uterus was abnormal, and she also had severe anemia, and if she forcibly aborted, her life would be in danger. Therefore, Liu Yan gave birth to this child.

When Liu Tie heard this, he cried and howled, Luo Jie, why didn't you tell me earlier?

Luo Jie covered his abdomen with his hands, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and said bitterly, Liu Yan begged me to help her keep it secret. She said that the child was born prematurely and looked very much like his mother, and you wouldn't find out the secret. During her pregnancy, Liu Yan repeatedly thought of suicide, but I dissuaded her. She said she didn't want you to be sad when she found out the truth, and she didn't want you to think she wasn't clean. So

Before Luo Jie's words were finished, he fainted.

The next day, Luo Jie was unexpectedly revived under the doctor's hard work. The first thing he said when he woke up was to ask, where is Liu Tie?

Guarding Luo Jie's side was his wife Bai Xue. At this time, Bai Xue was already sick, and her beautiful face and body were already miserable. Over the years, she has often heard rumors about her husband and Liu Yan, but she buried all the pain in her heart and never questioned her husband. But her heart is always suffering from ups and downs. Luo Jie was no longer close to her, but only provided her with fine clothes and food, as well as that alienated respect and kindness. But there is no passion and love between husband and wife.

Bai Xue heard her husband ask Liu Tie. I didn't dare to say a word for a long time, and my clear eyes showed horror.

Luo Jie was furious, Bai Xue, I asked you, didn't you hear?

Bai Xue hurriedly agreed. Said with his head down. Liu Tie, he committed suicide, he is already dead. Before he died, he said, you are his best brother, he died without regrets! It's just that the person who feels the most sorry in this life is you! He also said that if there is an afterlife, I hope you are still brothers!

When Luo Jie heard this, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore and cried.
