Chapter 1058: Did I Do Something Wrong
Leng Hao frowned as he looked at Ye Ziyi, who was now beyond recognition. Leng Hao said, “Madman!”
“Haha, well said. Well said. Your sister spent half a year to test me, and Zhou Yao didn’t suspect me at all. I didn’t expect that the brother-in-law saw through me in such a short time. Nice!” Ye Ziyi gave Leng Hao a thumbs up.
“Third brother, what exactly do you want?” Upstairs, Ye Xiaotao’s hands and feet were cold. This third brother was so unfamiliar to Ye Xiaotao, she was scared. “Daddy owes you. If you want revenge, then come at me. Let Leng Hao go. He’s innocent.”
“Okay, as you wish.” Ye Ziyi gave his subordinate a look, and his subordinate immediately raised his hand and slapped Ye Xiaotao.
At this moment, Leng Hao quickly said, “Stop playing around. Didn’t you kidnap her so that you could get me? Your goal is me, so don’t scare her. She really thinks of you as her brother.”
Ye Ziyi snorted coldly. He didn’t need Ye Xiaotao to think of him as her brother. Everyone in this world had a weakness, but he didn’t. Ye Ziyi wanted to play, but no one played with him. Because no one could afford to play with him.
“Young master Leng, I invited you here because I wanted you to stay as a guest. But I was afraid that I couldn’t keep you, so crippled one of your arms first.”
Crippled one of Leng Hao’s arms…
“No, no! Leng Hao, don’t listen to him. He has gone crazy! Just go, don’t worry about me. I beg you, just go…” Ye Xiaotao screamed.
The subordinate taped Ye Xiaotao’s mouth again. Ye Xiaotao could only shake her head vigorously.
Leng Hao looked up at the girl upstairs. The girl shook her head vigorously. She stared at him with her big watery eyes, afraid that Leng Hao would really cripple his arm.
Leng Hao smiled at the girl as a silent comfort. Then he looked at Ye Ziyi and said, “If I crippled my arm, you can kill me with ease. If I’m going to die either way, why should I listen to you?”
“Young master Leng, I’m not interested in your life or Xiaotao’s life. I just want to keep you for a while. If you don’t cooperate, then I can only…” Ye Ziyi shrugged regretfully.
Bang! Leng Hao fired a shot at his left arm.
Ye Xiaotao was shocked. Then hot tears spilled from her eyes. “No…”
Leng Hao threw the gun to the ground. The intense pain in his arm made his forehead break out in a layer of cold sweat. He covered the wound with his right hand.
“Good, young master Leng is straightforward!” Ye Ziyi clapped in satisfaction. “Come, take them away.”
…
In the underground warehouse, the subordinate untied Ye Xiaotao and pushed her in. “Stay there!”
The subordinate locked the door of the warehouse.
“Leng Hao!” Ye Xiaotao quickly ran forward. She squatted down and looked at Leng Hao. Leng Hao’s face was pale. He was sitting in a corner. Blood was still flowing out of his fingers.
Ye Xiaotao’s eyes were blurred by tears. She didn’t dare to touch his wound. She didn’t even know what to do. She could only cry, “Leng Hao, I’m sorry. It’s all… my fault. I hurt you…”
Leng Hao looked at the girl. Her small shoulders trembled as she wept. Her soft black hair was messy around her face. Her little nose was red like a delicate flower.
She looked so beautiful when she cried.
He reached out his hand and wiped away her tears gently, “It’s okay, don’t cry… It’s just a little blood. I won’t die…”
“No, I’ll get third brother to get a doctor over. You need hemostatic medicine…” Ye Xiaotao turned around.
But a large hand grabbed her thin arm. Leng Hao shook his head. “Don’t go, it’s useless. Ye Ziyi is no longer your third brother…”
These words made Ye Xiaotao cry even harder. She hugged her knees tightly with her slender arms and sobbed helplessly, “Why… why have things turned out like this? Third brother… isn’t like this. He treats me… very well. Besides daddy, he treats me… the best. He dotes on me very much, but… but now…”
“I’m really useless. Third brother doesn’t like me. He… captured me. Now… I even caused you to be involved. I’m sorry, I’m sorry… It’s all my fault…”
Ye Xiaotao was really sad because she really saw Ye Ziyi as her brother. She didn’t have a mother growing up, and her father had many women. There were also a few concubines at home. Those women didn’t like her. They would treat her very well in front of her father, but once her father left, they scolded her and pinched her. She was very young at that time, so she didn’t tell her father. She didn’t want to upset her father. The Ye family was always in a mess, and she didn’t like it there.
Later on, when she was older, she was very lonely. Because she was the daughter of the Ye family, her classmates didn’t dare to play with her. Her father didn’t have time to accompany her. All she had was money.
Then, Ye Ziyi returned. This brother of hers was really warm. He would smile at her and take time to accompany her. During those years, she was practically Ye Ziyi’s little sidekick.
But now, everything had changed. It was all fake. Her third brother never liked her at all.
The girl cried uncontrollably. Leng Hao felt this heart ache. He felt very distressed. “Okay, don’t cry… I’m fine…”
He stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his arms.
Ye Xiaotao sat on the ground. She buried her head deep in his chest and rubbed against him. She raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes. “Leng Hao, did I… do something wrong…”
“Why do you ask?”
“Because a lot of people don’t like me… It’s okay. I try my best to smile and try my best to help others. I thought that… one day, they will like me. But… it’s not like that. It seems like everything I do is wrong. For example, Ling Feier, if I didn’t help her, I’m… cold-blooded. If I helped her… it’s vanity…”
Leng Hao did not expect such a cheerful and optimistic girl to be so fragile on the inside. She loved to smile because she wanted to use it to win the love of the world.
She grew up without a mother and lived in such a treacherous family. She was very sensitive.
Leng Hao kissed her forehead and comforted her in a soft voice, “No, you didn’t do anything wrong. You did a good job. No one can win the love of the world. As long as we have a clear conscience and live a happy life, it’s all good.”
Ye Xiaotao sniffed and nodded hard, “Mmm, I won’t cry anymore. When I was very young, I understood that those who are worth my tears won’t make me cry. I don’t need to cry for those who aren’t worthy. The way to deal with those bad people is to work hard to live a happy life.”
“Mmm, always believe in yourself. You’re right!” Leng Hao smiled.
Ye Xiaotao wiped the tears off her face and asked with concern, “Are your injuries really okay?”
