This time, Xiao Chenfei was truly proud of having such a son.
Xiao Chenfei laughed very happily as hot tears of joy flowed down his cheeks while he was smiling. However, just when Xiao Chenfei was feeling extremely happy.
Xiao Xiaoyao suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious.
Instantly, the Xiao family was in an uproar. Xiao Chenfei invited the most famous doctor, the best team of experts, to treat Xiao Xiaoyao.
However, these famed doctors who were favored by the heavens to save their lives were all at a loss for what to do. It was because they couldn't discover the cause of the disease. He did not know why Xiao Xiaoyao had suddenly collapsed.
On the second day, Xiao Chenfei even invited a famous doctor from the capital. Experts in western medicine were all invited to see Xiao Xiaoyao's sickness. However, there was nothing he could do. He did not understand the reason why Xiao Xiaoyao was unconscious.
This was what it meant by 'extreme happiness leads to sorrow'.
Xiao Chenfei had just given him such a true and carefree son, and then this son of his fell right in front of him, unable to wake up ever again.
This huge difference caused Xiao Chenfei's eyes to moisten a few times unknowingly.
That night, Xiao Chaoran, as the successor of the family, acted as Xiao Xiaoyao's fourth uncle. After going to the hospital, he looked at Xiao Xiaoyao symbolically.
Because, after Xiao Chaoran went to the hospital, he left behind a bunch of fresh flowers and fruits. After standing in the ward for less than a minute, he was ready to turn around and leave.
Xiao Chenfei's face was haggard as he looked at his fourth brother, Xiao Chaoran, and then looked at his son who was completely pale on the sickbed. Then, his eyes reddened as he called out, "Fourth brother."
It had been many years since Xiao Chenfei had called Xiao Chaoran Fourth Brother so intimately. Upon hearing this intimate title, Xiao Chaoran's entire body was stunned. Then, his body trembled as he turned around.
The moment he turned around, Xiao Chaoran had already adjusted his mental state. Looking at his exhausted big brother, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes. Then, he calmly asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"
"Chao Ran, can we sit down and have a chat?" Xiao Chenfei's eyes flashed with tears, almost begging for mercy.
Xiao Chaoran sighed and sat in the sickroom. He calmly looked at his big brother and said flatly: "Since big brother has the intention, little brother will obey. Moreover, in these past few years, Big Bro has rarely had a heart-to-heart conversation with himself. "
Xiao Chaoran was implying that after all these years, you have been forcing me to do what I can to you. They forced me into a dead end, and they didn't care about me at all. Now that your son is in trouble, you only know to talk to me?
Thinking about that, Xiao Chaoran sighed.
"When we were young, Xiao Yao was such a cute child." Xiao Chenfei opened his mouth and said slowly, "I remember, at that time, Xiao Yao really liked you, Fourth Brother. And no matter where Fourth Brother went, when he returned, he would always bring gifts for Xiao Yao. I still remember when I was ten years old, my fourth brother gave Xiao Yao a imitation gun as a birthday present. That year, Xiao Yao used all of his savings to buy a big cake for his fourth brother. I remember that cake. It was made by Peter, the famous French pastry maker. "
Xiao Chaoran did not speak. It was as if he had fallen into some distant memory.
"Time flies." Xiao Chenfei let out a deep sigh, then opened his mouth and continued, "At that time, the relationship between Fourth Brother and Xiao Yao was really deep. All these years, because of some matters, they had become a bit distant. However, I still believe that blood is thicker than water. Fourth brother, you said it? "
Xiao Chaoran let out a cold laugh, and said coldly: "Oh, then Big Brother will say it, what is the reason for being estranged from me? Really, just for a moment? "
If it was the past, Xiao Chaoran would definitely sink into his memories softly and sigh. However, the current Xiao Chaoran had changed, and had an invincible heart. This retort caused a faint smile to freeze on Xiao Chenfei's face.
"All these matters have finally passed." Xiao Chenfei, with the Seven Apertures Mystical Heart, opened his mouth and said urgently: "Fourth Brother has already returned, and he is still the same Fourth Brother from back then. I think that the friendship between your uncles has also returned. "
"What a pity." Xiao Chaoran slowly stood up and spoke slowly: "Whether or not you come back, is already not up to you guys to decide. "It's been so many years. Has my son returned?"
The cold question returned, and instantly caused a layer of cold sweat to ooze out of Xiao Chenfei's forehead.
He finally realized that Xiao Chaoran was no longer the Xiao Chaoran he could kill however he liked. It was also just like how it was many years ago, showing off its sharpness.
"I'm leaving." Xiao Chaoran stood with his hands behind his back, stood in front of Xiao Chenfei, and said condescendingly: "My son hasn't returned yet, so there are many things that he won't be able to return to."
Hearing that, Xiao Chenfei's face revealed a look of despair. After staring dumbfoundedly for a long while, he finally saw Xiao Chaoran, who was slowly walking out of the sickroom, shout out. "Could it be, that you're helplessly watching your nephew die in this sickbed?"
Xiao Chaoran's body paused for a moment, and then, continued to walk toward the outside of the ward. As he walked out of the ward, he heard Xiao Chaoran's cold words, "Back then, when my newborn son flew in the snow all over the place, frozen to the point that his entire body was purple and trembling, did anyone know to cherish him?"
With that, Xiao Chenfei finally started to panic, and began to loudly beg: "Chao Ran, consider it my begging, consider it my brother's begging. In this lifetime, if you don't kneel to the heavens or to the earth, if you don't kneel to the gods or to the gods, then I'll kneel to you today. "
After that, Xiao Chenfei who was in the sickbed plopped down from his chair and kneeled on the floor. Finally, Xiao Chenfei kowtowed towards the door.
Based on Xiao Chenfei's experience and treatment in the past few years, it could already be seen. Xiao Xiaoyao being unconscious definitely had something to do with Xiao Yi. But this was a terrible Lord. Moreover, because of their son, both sides had already formed a feud. If Xiao Yi were to release his son, he would not be able to do anything.
However, his own Fourth Brother, Xiao Chaoran, was probably different.
Xiao Chaoran and Xiao Yi had drank tea together at the Zuiyue Tea House before escaping together for a thousand miles. It would be impossible to say that there was not the slightest bit of friendship between the two. Therefore, Xiao Chenfei decided to stake everything on this, and begged Xiao Chaoran to go and plead with him to let his son go.
Xiao Chaoran who was outside heard the sound of knocking on the door. Finally, he stopped. A look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he began to struggle in his heart.
In Xiao Chaoran's impression, his big brother Xiao Chenfei was an iron man. In all these years, he had never knelt down before anyone. However, this time, he knelt down and begged him.
The love of a father and son, in the end, was great enough to allow a person to be reborn. Xiao Chenfei was like this, Xiao Chaoran was the same.
After a long while, Xiao Chaoran let out a light breath, stood outside the sickroom, and asked: "Speak, what's the matter."
Xiao Chenfei, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly raised his head to look outside the door and begged: "This time, Xiao Yao has offended Xiao Yi, which is why he is unconscious. I believe that there should be some sort of relationship between Fourth Brother and Xiao Yi. I hope that Fourth Brother can plead for Xiao Yi on my behalf and ask him to let Xiao Yao go. "
Hearing these words, Xiao Chaoran fell silent. Then, he said in a low voice, "There are indeed some feelings between Xiao Yi and I."
Hearing that, Xiao Chenfei's face immediately lit up, kowtowing even harder than before.
"However, you should tell him about this yourself." Xiao Chaoran's face was calm, and he slowly spoke: "I will try to invite Xiao Yi. I will invite Xiao Yi to my house to be a guest, to eat a meal. When the time comes, you find a chance to talk to him yourself. Whether or not you succeed will depend on how much sincerity you have. "
Just as he heard the first half of the sentence, Xiao Chenfei had already given up all hope. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he was so happy that he cried.
"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Xiao Chenfei prostrated on the ground and asked sincerely.
As Xiao Chaoran listened to these words of thanks, he suddenly had a feeling in his heart. "If it wasn't for those years ago, then …"
Xiao Chaoran did not speak further. However, Xiao Chenfei's entire body suddenly became sluggish. His eyes instantly became lifeless, as if they were made of wood, stone, or sculpture.
If not for the past, then how could I, Xiao Chenfei, kneel to my own brother today?
Thinking back to back then, when his fourth brother, Xiao Chaoran, had listened to everything he said. And because of his desire for power, a tragedy had occurred today. This resulted in Xiao Chenfei, who never kneeled to the heavens and never knelt to the earth, to actually kneel to his own little brother.
"If, if, if." A bitter smile rose from the corner of Xiao Chenfei's mouth: "These words, are the most hurtful in this world. I can no longer turn my head back, much less return to shore. So, don't blame me. Since I was wrong, let me make the mistake. "
A very low voice echoed in the ward.
Then, Xiao Chenfei stood up from the ground, straightening his back bit by bit. It looked like Xiao Chenfei was a huge mountain in that instant.
Then, a terrifying craziness emerged from Xiao Chenfei's eyes.
He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh. Traces of blood slowly flowed out from his palms.
"It's not that I want to take the seat of the Patriarch, it's not that I want to fight for it. But, I have to think for my own free and easy life. If you become the leader of the family, you can still treat our brothers nicely. Transcendence, you and I are at ease. But I don't trust your son. When your son becomes the next head of the family, will he still treat Xiao Yao with kindness? I don't know, I really don't know. So, I had no choice but to take the risk and break all ties with you for the sake of being free and unfettered. "
Xiao Chenfei gnashed his teeth as his voice was gently covered by the night.
