Chapter 24
"Sister, are you okay!" There was a knock on the door of Xiao Jianren's room, and then a boy about eighteen years old came in, holding a medicine box he had just taken from Aunt Zhang.
Xiao Jianren suppressed the grievances in her heart and asked gently, "Xiaonan, why did you come? Were you scared just now?"
The person was Xiao Jiannan, the second young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Jianren's younger brother.
Xiao Jianren is twenty years old this year. Because of her poor grades, she spent money to buy a diploma from an aristocratic school and entered the Xiao Group to work early.
Xiao Jiannan is eighteen years old, but his academic performance is very good. He is the next heir trained by the Xiao family and is currently a freshman at Hai City University Business College.
The two sisters are two years apart in age and have an exceptionally good relationship. Xiao Jianren dotes very much on her younger brother, and Xiao Jiannan also protects and loves his sister everywhere.
"Sister, you're bleeding. How could Dad hit so hard!" Xiao Jiannan was really frightened and immediately ran to Xiao Jianren. He opened the medicine box and dressed his sister's wounds with his own hands.
"Don't blame Dad. Blame that little b**** from the Ye family! If it wasn't for her meddling, relying on the Ye family's support, how could XJ have been driven out of Yunhai Shopping Mall!" Xiao Jianren gritted her teeth, wishing she could smash Ye Jinmeng into pieces immediately.
"Ow!" The wound on Xiao Jianren's forehead was stinging painfully from the iodine.
"I'm sorry, sister. I'll be more gentle," Xiao Jiannan apologized.
Xiao Jianren gently comforted, "It's okay, Xiaonan. I'm fine."
"Sister, I also learned about what happened just now. That Xu Wanwan is from our school. I didn't expect her to dare to make trouble in our store!" Xiao Jiannan had seen Xu Wanwan during military training. At that time, he still felt that Xu Wanwan looked pure and innocent in military uniform, and even asked for her contact information. Who knew that b**** didn't even look at him!
"Don't worry, sister. We can't move against the Ye family, but I will definitely teach that country bumpkin a lesson for you!" A country bumpkin who dared to ride on the Xiao family's head must be tired of living!
"Jianren, how are you feeling, does it still hurt?" Jian Hongmei pushed open the door and walked in, holding Xiao Jianren's face worriedly.
"I'm fine, Mom. Xiaonan has already bandaged me. Is Dad still angry?"
"Oh, it's better if you don't provoke your father these days. Just stay at home obediently. Your father is very angry this time." Jian Hongmei sighed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiannan was furious, "Mom, it's not my sister's fault. It's all because Ye Jinmeng made a fuss over a trivial matter, and stopped the use of our store for a country bumpkin. I think she must be deliberately targeting our Xiao family!"
"Xiaonan, shut up!" As soon as Jian Hongmei heard this, she immediately covered Xiao Jiannan's mouth, her eyes cold, "Don't let your father hear that, or you'll suffer!"
"Our Xiao family is different now. We can't afford to offend the Ye family anymore," Jian Hongmei sternly warned the siblings. "If you still want the Xiao family to have a foothold in Haicheng, you can't say that anymore, otherwise not only you, but our entire Xiao family will be finished! Understand?"
"Understand, Mom." Although dissatisfied, the siblings had to agree.
The next morning, Ye Jinchen, who had just returned from his morning run, was surprised to see Ye Jinmeng sitting on the sofa in the living room.
His sister was a big sleeper during holidays, so Ye Jinchen didn't even plan to call her for breakfast. But why did she get up so early today?
"Jinmeng, did the sun rise from the west today? Why did you get up so early?" Ye Jinchen asked in puzzlement after drinking some water.
Ye Jinmeng curled up on the sofa, hugging her chubby self. She had dreamed all night that she was happily eating and playing with Shi Shuning at first, then Shi Shuning suddenly turned into a big gray wolf, opening its bloody big mouth and saying it was going to eat her up, which woke her up in fright...
But how could she tell her brother about this? He would definitely laugh at her!
"I'm just hungry and uncomfortable from hunger, so I can't sleep. Isn't this waiting to have breakfast with you? After eating my fill, I'll go back upstairs to continue sleeping!"
Seeing his stubborn looking sister, Ye Jinchen chuckled and didn't expose her. "Okay, since you're so hungry you still know to wait for me, eat first. I'll take a shower and come right down."
After breakfast, Ye Jinmeng was about to go upstairs to sleep when Aunt Chen suddenly came in and said, "Young Master, Xiao's President Xiao came with Miss Xiao outside. They want to visit you."
"Xiao Jianren? What are they coming for!" Ye Jinmeng said in disgust. She really disliked this Xiao family.
"Huh, they probably came for yesterday's incident." Ye Jinchen said coldly with a sneer, "Let them in."
