Chapter 43: The Brothers’ Quarrel

Li ZiChen tapped his fingers as he stared at the four walls of the room that had all been covered with pictures of one single woman. He stared at her who didn’t once stare back at the camera. A part of her in high school, another picture of her in the prison, and one of her standing in front of Lu Ping which was just taken today’s afternoon. Looking at the series of pictures, Li ZiChen’s face became even more unreadable. His dark gaze stared at her expression as if he was thinking of something so deeply, weighing his choice.

After a while, he heard a ring from his phone. Turning it on, he saw it to be a call from someone. Li ZiChen’s eyebrows furrowed and all traces of smile he always held around his lips whenever AiLin is around was also gone completely for good. He received the call with a tone of annoyance, "What time is it, YingYi? I didn’t teach you to call someone in this late of night without considering the caller’s schedule."

His tone was icy which made the receiver which was none other than his own younger brother, Li YingYi, to flinch and quitened up upon hearing his order’s brother warning tone.

"It’s about Mei Hua," said Li YingYi. His friend had came to him today crying. She said that she had been tossed out of Li ZiChen’s car after mentioning AiLin’s name which somehow flicked the wrong switch on the back of Li ZiChen’s head. "She didn’t mean what she said, can you just forgive her?"

"Forgiving isn’t something you have seen me done," Li ZiChen responded before he clicked his tongue, "You seem to believe in Mei Hua more than your own older brother. You haven’t noticed how rotten that girl is."

"She is different," said Li YingYi, "I have known her since childhood!"

"She has always been the same as those girls who tried to drug and sleep with me," Li ZiChen warned, "Seeing you can’t see it on your own eyes yet means that you are still a child."

"Stop it brother, calling me a child is tad too much don’t you think?" Li YingYi spoke back with a hint of anger though Li ZiChen knew his younger brother could never raise his tone higher than this as he always respected their age difference.

Li ZiChen knew that Li YingYi had cared about Mei Hua a lot. He could see that his own younger brother having a little feeling of love toward Mei Hua and he didn’t intend to stop it from happening. But if Mei Hua began to place his hand on him, that was his last straw.

"She is just concerned about you, ah damn it," Li YingYi ruffled his hair, "She was worried that you’re still all over that woman Jiang AiLin. She’s been dead for a week and there’s been news that someone similar looking to her had appeared and seduced you. I’m sure she is worried like I am about you, so please understand her feelings."

"So you have heard that much," Li ZiChen brushed it off as he heard his younger brother gasping from the other side.

"No way... are you really taking another woman as Jiang AiLin’s replacement?" Li YingYi’s tone sounded more severe, "Brother, don’t do things you regret."

"Tell those words to yourself YingYi," Li ZiChen responded curtly. "You’re the one who need to differentiate between your allies and foes. Don’t bother with my business any longer."

"Brothers! Brother ZiChe—"

Li ZiChen ended the call before he left the room, making sure had had locked it before he stared at the door of AiLin’s room. He spent a few hours standing while staring at the room, never crossing the boundaries once even though he could have burst inside with the spare key of the room which is his own thumb’s fingerprint.

He stared at the room for a couple more hours until morning appeared where he had retreated to his room, feeling a sense of security as he had made sure that AiLin is safe in his house.

Meanwhile, that morning AiLin woke up with a loud yawn escaping from her own mouth. She sat up on the bed that felt like clouds and muttered to herself, "Money is really a great thing isn’t it..."

This was the best sleep she had ever felt. In a soft quilt that was as fluffy as clouds and pillows that would never cause her shoulders to become tense. This was such a beautiful bed. So beautiful in fact that she felt her soul sucked by the bed. She felt that she didn’t mind dying anymore if it was in this bed. Other than the beauty of the bed was the gorgeous view outside her window. As the sun appeared, the view of the building and the nearby river was glistening by the glows and sparkles of the sun. She could spend her time simply staring outside the window and counting the amount of cars that had drove on the road right beneath the apartment.

Everything was so beautiful that it made AiLin to agree with Li ZiChen’s great taste in buying houses and apartment alike. He might really be a genius as he claimed.

But even such beautiful morning wasn’t spared by a loud ruckus. She hadn’t noticed it earlier but she could hear voices of people in a loud argument. Her body then flinched when she heard a sound of shatter. The sound made her recall the time a stone was thrown to her head, making her panic as she worried something had happened to Li ZiChen.

She immediately rushed from her bed, running to open her door and towards the living room where she saw a young man dressed in a red shirt and a bright white pants throwing a tantrum by tossing a well made jade vase to the wooden floor beneath him. The young man appeared so pissed off in fact that he seemed as if he was going to blow up.

In front of him was Li ZiChen. The Li ZiChen who everyone was fearful of simply watched as the young man in red tossing a tantrum in front of him. But his lips were set in a thin line as if he was going to erupt from anger next.

"Are you done with your bullshit YingYi?" Li ZiChen asked while he stood up. He then flexed his fists as if preparing to swung it around. "Grit your jaw. I’m not sending you off quickly today."
