277 Do You Want a Nephew?
He Zui had bought a mountain villa. Every morning when he got up, he could see the lush environment, the chirping of birds, the rustling of the leaves when the wind blew, the sound of dew drops, and the crisp tone of the wind chimes in front of the window…
At this moment, He Zui was enjoying the beauty of nature as usual. He made a pot of tea and began to meditate meticulously.
However, his usually quiet phone suddenly rang. He stood up and walked barefoot on the smooth wooden floor to answer the phone in the next room.
To improve his focus and concentration in his meditation, He Zui placed his phone and puter in another room.
Upon seeing it was He Xun, He Zui was stunned. He Xun rarely took the initiative to call him. After all, He Xun clearly knew he would get scolded.
“Why are you disturbing me again?” He Zui asked.
He Xun had a favor to ask of his eldest brother now, so he sounded deeply concerned. “Brother Zui, how have you been recently?”
“If you didn’t call, I would have had a good life…” He Zui spoke ferociously after a pause. “I have a feeling my peaceful life will be ruined today.”
He Xun felt that his eldest brother’s premonition was quite accurate, so he said seriously, “Brother Zui, I have a favor to ask of you.”
He Zui didn’t give He Xun a chance to speak and hung up the phone.
He Xun had a request?
He Zui didn’t raise He Xun to help the latter solve his problems. Rather, it was to help He Zui retire.
The phone rang again. He Zui glanced at it a few times. In the end, he still picked it up.
Forget it, who asked He Xun to be He Zui’s little brother?
“Brother Zui, I’ll need you to e back in the next two weeks,” He Xun said directly. He couldn’t use a soft approach when talking to He Zui. He had to be firm, precise, and ruthless. Otherwise, he might not have the chance to speak.
“Did you break your hand?” He Zui gasped.
“No, I didn’t.”
“Are your legs disabled?”
“No, they are not.”
“You… Is it late-stage cancer?”
“I don’t have any.”
“Why do you want me to keep watch then? I’m not going.”
“Brother Zui, my wife will be going to Anning Mountain in the next two weeks,” He Xun shared as he held his forehead.
“What will she do there?” He Zui didn’t have convenient access to the internet. If a major event threatening his younger brothers didn’t occur, he would practically be cut off from the world.
“The Heaven Blessed Charity Project invited my wife to participate. She decided to visit the mountain personally for two weeks.” He Xun explained.
“Why is your wife so troublesome?” He Zui was dissatisfied.
“My wife felt it was better for her to experience it first-hand, so she could understand the poor children in the mountains. Otherwise, the project would just be superficial.”
He Xun also knew that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to understand his wife’s approach, but it didn’t matter. It was good that he could understand. He would support his wife in all her decisions.
“Why do I need to take charge of the pany if my sister-in-law is going?”
“It’s too dangerous there. I don’t feel safe leaving her alone,” He Xun said.
“What are you worried about?” Didn’t you already hire bodyguards for her after the kidnapping incident?”
“I still want to acpany her personally.” He Xun insisted.
“Since your wife is heading to the mountains, I have to stay in the pany?” He Zui was speechless.
He Xun nodded.
“There might not be any phone signal or internet in Anning Mountain. I can’t handle a lot of documents in time, so I need your help. As for the phone meetings that have been finalized, you..”.
“I have to suffer because of your wife’s consideration?” He Zui felt like he was going crazy.
“Brother Zui, it’s only two weeks,” He Xun continued. “You’ve survived for more than 20 years back then…”
“Don’t talk to me about those 20 years. Do you know how much I wanted to spread some fertilizer on you so that you could grow stronger? I’ve even considered helping the seedlings grow.” He Zui felt that he couldn’t be careful now.
He Xun smiled. He knew that his eldest brother’s harshness was only limited to his words.
In fact, when He Zui raised He Xun in the past, he had been tremendously responsible.
“Brother He Zui, please help me.”
“What do I get in return for helping you?” He Zui had been a businessman for more than 20 years. Even if it was his own brother, he would never spare the other party. His true nature as a businessman emerged.
“What about scriptures?”
“I have both.”
“How about a gold-rimmed Nanmu Buddha bracelet?”
“I also have one!”
“Would you like me to build two golden Buddha statues in your meditation room?”
“I have already tried.”
He Xun was helpless. He could only grit his teeth.
“Do you want a nephew?”
He Zui was greatly surprised.
Excellent! He Xun grasped his eldest brother’s weakness.
