Chapter 99 - Cold Brother and Pretty Sister

Chapter 99 Cold Brother and Pretty Sister

Yezi and Xiao Bing talked a lot half the night, and then Yezi slowly stopped crying. She was a strong girl. Although she suffered such a blow, it did not destroy her.

After comforting her, Xiao Bing advised her to lie on another sickbed, and then sang a lullaby gently to coax Yezi to sleep.

Yezi fell asleep, but Xiao Bing couldn’t sleep. He kept thinking about it. Judging from Liu Piaopiao’s expression, they must really have seen something. What’s more, Bao Lei was there at that time. But, blaming ghosts and gods was obviously unbelievable. The opponent must have come up with some way to scare Ye Bancheng into this situation, but who did it?

At present, it seemed that the most suspicious person was Ye Xinyi. However, she was also the most difficult one to doubt, because after Ye Bancheng had been cured by Zhang Yizhi, he would surely hand over more authority to Ye Tianming, and Ye Tianming was also the reasonable heir of the company. If Ye Bancheng was dead at this time, wouldn’t it be natural for Ye Tianming to inherit the industry? What else could Ye Xinyi do?

Unless Ye Xinyi had more important trump cards. Xiao Bing always felt this possibility was quite low. It could be seen from the several directors’ attitudes today that most of them would obviously tend to choose Ye Tianming.

After thinking a lot, Xiao Bing got a headache, so he had to stop thinking, but he did not dare to sleep. Instead, he sat by Yezi’s bed and waited for morning.

It was doomed to be difficult to sleep this night, not only had Xiao Bing and Ye Xinyi fallen into doubt, but also the Peony Fairy, North Heaven Queen.

The truth would inevitably be revealed, what’s more, some people were dead now. As the head of the underground world in the North District, North Heaven Queen naturally got the news first. Now she had gathered all of her people together. But, she had one conclusion that the assassination of Xiao Bing was not to be done by her or her underlings.

“Did Xiao Bing offend other people?” The Peony Fairy couldn’t understand. She recently carried out a lot of investigation into Xiao Bing. Although previous things about him could not be found, since entering Jiang City, he only offended the Xie Family, besides herself. Now the Xie Family had been killed by Xiao Bing…

Some people nearby said, “Heaven Queen, no matter who did it, since they have the same goal as us, isn’t that a good thing? Xiao Bing had so many enemies that he will die even if we don’t do anything.”

The Peony Fairy asked in a gloomy tone, “Did you find out who did it?”

“Yes, it was the ghost nest.”

“Ghost nest? Is it them again?” “I’ve heard that Xiao Bing had already fought with the ghost nest before. The ghost nest is a famous killer organization in Jiang City, and they are responsible for killing as long as someone spends money. It is hard to imagine who sent them to kill Xiao Bing.”

The Peony Fairy hesitated for a moment, and there was a feeling of silence in her voice, “No matter who he was, now that Xiao Bing has been attacked, he will surely suspect us, Northern Manor. Xiao Bing and I have quarreled openly. Coupled with this assassination, Xiao Bing will definitely not wait. In this case, it will be better for us to take action first.”

All the people present stood up one after another, and the Peony Fairy laughed, “Actually, it doesn’t need to be so troublesome to kill Xiao Bing. But in order to reduce the losses, I have already made a careful plan. You don’t need to be impulsive, just wait and see.”

Ye Tianming arrived at the ward early the next morning. When he came in, he saw that Ye Zi and Xiao Bing were already awake. Ye Tianming nodded gratefully at Xiao Bing first and then said to Ye Zi, “Little sister, you don’t have to stay here all this time. You can go back first, and let Brother Bing also go back. Come back and get me tonight.”

Ye Zi shook her head. She hadn’t slept very well last night and only slept for a few hours because of something troubling her heart. So, she was still tired all morning.

Ye Tianming was distressed, “Well, don’t be stubborn with me anymore. Go home quickly… Look at you. You didn’t wash your head or face, and you still look so pale. Go back and have a good rest for a day. Don’t rush to come and replace me.”

Ye Tianming continued, “There are still so many things for Brother Bing. The noodle house will reopen. If you don’t leave, Brother Bing can do nothing but stay with you here, and there is no shortage of you here.”

Yezi hesitated for a moment and glanced at Xiao Bing. Then she stood up and said, “Then I’ll come back tonight.”

“You don’t have to come tonight. We have already discussed it at home. Let Aunt Liu come here tonight.”

Seeing Yezi’s face wasn’t good, Ye Tianming said, “You don’t have to think much, after all, she is our father’s present wife and is legally married whether you like it or not. You can’t stop her from coming to accompany our father, can you? Besides, if she really won’t come, will you feel happy in your heart?”

Yezi thought for a moment, and it was exactly what Ye Tianming said. Then she asked, “What about tomorrow?”

Ye Tianming smiled, “Our elder sister will come tomorrow in the daytime, and you can come tomorrow night to keep him company.”

“Well, that’s okay,” Yezi glanced at her father who was still in a coma, and said with some worry, “Didn’t the doctor say father would wake up this morning?”

Xiao Bing comforted her, “All right, Yezi, don’t think too much. A coma is very difficult to predict, and the doctor said today would be the fastest situation. I think Uncle Ye’s condition is quite stable now. There shouldn’t be complications. Just go home and have a good rest.”

“Okay.” Yezi agreed.

After leaving the hospital, Xiao Bing sent Yezi to her home first and then returned to the Su Family to have a good sleep. He didn’t go home last night and naturally asked Su Xiaoxiao for instructions. As soon as he entered the house, Su Xiaoxiao asked about all kinds of conditions in the hospital. Hearing Xiao Bing as he talked about Ye Bancheng’s poor health and coma, Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “I really hope everyone in the world can be safe. Those who have never experienced it will not understand that losing someone is the most painful thing in the world. I’ll go to the hospital to see Xiaoxi later.”

“Don’t go today,” Xiao Bing said, “She has already gone home to rest. You can go and see her tomorrow night.”

“Okay,” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Bing and said, “You’ve been busy with the noodle house these days, so you don’t have to accompany. Girls are more comforting, and Xiaoxi is now my friend. From tomorrow on, she will take care of Uncle Ye every day and I’ll help her.”

Xiao Bing thought for a moment that it was indeed more convenient for girls to talk to each other, and their minds were exquisite. Although Su Xiaoxiao looked cold, Xiao Bing also was not necessarily comparable to her when it comes to enlightening Yezi, so he agreed.

Seeing Xiao Bing agree, Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Have some breakfast and then go back to your room to have a good rest. I’ll cook whatever you want to eat tonight.”

“No, I may not eat at home tonight. I’ll sleep in the morning and go to the noodle house in the afternoon. I’m going to invite the employees to have dinner outside tonight.”

“OK, then I’ll leave you alone. Go out to have dinner.”

Xiao Bing wolfed down his breakfast and slept the rest of the morning. Just after waking up at noon, he saw two missed calls on his cell phone. They were from Wang Guizhi.

After Xiao Bing called back, Wang Guizhi asked, “Brother Bing, we have been at the noodle house for a long time. Two girls, Zhang Jing and Li Hong handed out leaflets all morning and will continue into the afternoon. I have also ordered the new plaque. It is estimated that we can get it back tomorrow. Now there are two applicants here, waiting for you to come and interview them.”

Xiao Bing rolled over and got up, laughing, “Ok, thank you all, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight. Let the candidates wait for me, and I will be there in half an hour.”

Su Xiaoxiao was not at home, so Xiao Bing changed his clothes after washing his face and brushing his teeth and then hurried to the noodle house.

Xiao Bing had just gotten to the noodle house when a little girl ran towards him. “Ouch!” She collided with Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing did not move, and the girl fell back. Xiao Bing quickly scooped the girl into his arms. The little sister was not tall enough to reach Xiao Bing’s shoulder. She looked to be about 12 or 13 years old and looked at Xiao Bing, her eyes flickering.

After catching her, Xiao Bing loosened his grip and scratched the little sister’s nose, and laughed, “Why aren’t you more careful when you walk?”

The little sister’s eyes were very beautiful, and her face was very cute and chubby. She pursed her mouth and was about to speak when suddenly a black figure stood between them. Xiao Bing straightened up and found himself standing in front of a cruel man about 26 or 27 years old, around the same age as Xiao Bing.

This man in black was tall and straight, a little thin but actually very handsome. He could clearly be a handsome gigolo but for the cold face.

Xiao Bing felt the hostility on him, so he shrugged his shoulders and smiled, “Are you this little one’s friend?”

“Brother,” The man spoke, “She is my sister.”

“Oh, the age difference is a bit big, haha… Your sister is very cute, she just hit me accidentally.”

“I know, I am willing to apologize to you for her.”

This person always made people feel uncomfortable when talking, because his temperament was too cold, which made people feel a little inhuman.

Xiao Bing smiled and did not want to argue with him. He waved to the little sister behind him and smiled, “Goodbye, little sister. Don’t be careless when crossing the road. It is dangerous.”

Xiao Bing was about to leave when the little sister suddenly asked, “Big brother, I want to ask you, where is The Xiaoxiao Noodle House?”

Xiao Bing looked at the little girl and asked, “Why do you want to know about the noodle house?”

“My brother is going to work there. He’s going to apply!”

Xiao Bing’s eyes revealed a faint smile, pointing to the noodle house nearby that had just finished expanding and hadn’t hang up the plaque. He curved up his lips, and smiled, “Well, there it is!”
