The sudden sound startled Xi'er, and she almost fell off the rockery. She held on to the rocks on the side and turned around, only to find that there was no one there at all.
"Huh?" Xi'er was surprised and looked around, only to realize that the voice was not talking to her at all.
Looking at the dim light of dusk, a boy in his teens was standing on the rock facing the rockery, looking at the lotus leaves in the pond. The sound not only frightened Xi'er, but also frightened him.
.It’s just that he needs to be much calmer.
He turned his head and looked exactly at the person who made the sound. A boy, a head taller than him, with an angry look on his face. "Dad asked me to come to you."
"Oh." The boy responded and glanced at the lotus pond again. Just as he turned around, he saw the tall boy taking a step forward and blocking him.
"Third brother, what are you going to do?" The boy's voice was a little panicked. He looked around frantically, but was disappointed to find that there was no one nearby.
"You know that dad will propose marriage to the Mei family later, right?"
The boy nodded.
"If dad loves you so much, he must also tell you what kind of background the Mei family has, right?"
The boy nodded again.
"Given my father's preference for you, this marriage proposal must be for you, right? Even if all three of our older brothers are not engaged, he will only see you and consider you?"
"No, it's not like that." The boy retorted, but unfortunately he was not convincing. Or, even if he was convincing, his third brother wouldn't listen.
"Everything is your fault, no, everything is your mother's fault. Without your mother, father would still love my mother. Without you, father's eyes would fall on me, and all the family property would be
I am alone..."
"I, I don't want any family property." The boy's voice was very small and weak, but Xi'er could still hear the seriousness in it.
"You don't want it?" The third brother was amused. He laughed openly, with sarcasm and anger, "But even if you don't want it, dad will still give it to you. Obviously the eldest brother is the eldest son, and obviously the second brother is the eldest son.
I am the son of the first wife, and I am obviously the smartest person, but why would he leave everything to you? It’s all you, if it weren’t for you, if it wasn’t for you..."
