BXBX NOVEL Chapter 292 - Two-Hundred and Ninety-Two: Stand Up To
The moment Ye Kun saw Ye Tang, all of his plans shattered into a million pieces. Ye Kun didn’t know how he managed to ask, “Big Brother, you… W-Why are you here?”
‘What? Are you the master of the house now? Are you saying I can’t come home?” Ye Tang nonchalantly replied without moving his eyes away from the document before him.
“No, no, that’s not what I meant.” Ye Kun could feel sweat beading on his forehead. Ye Tang ignored him, so Ye Kun could only bite the bullet and inquire, “Bro, why aren’t you at the company today?”
“Am I not allowed to come home?” Ye Tang shot back.
Ye Kun pinched his thigh hard. He grimaced in pain and mentally warned himself, ‘Don’tpanic, don’t panic. I mustn’tpanic. I need to stay calm. Stay calm!’
However, looking at Ye Tang regally sitting on the sofa and working, Ye Kun panicked. He had an innate fear of his big brother! If there’s one person Ye Kun feared the most in this world, it would be his big brother. There was no one else he didn’t dare face aside from his big brother.
“Ye Tang!” Ye Kun stammered.
“What is it?” Ye Tang didn’t lift his head, but he did respond. ‘His tone’s quite calm,’ Ye Kun thought. ‘It seems like he’s in a good mood.’
Ye Kun glanced at the folders scattered on the sofa and saw a few familiar projects, so he ventured, “Ye Tang, why don’t you let me take a look at those? I’ll help you deal with them. You don’t get to come home often, so take the opportunity to rest up.”
Ye Tang looked up at him and then lowered his gaze back to the documents without saying anything.
Ye Kun carefully poked the bear, saying, “I’ll tell the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes then!” He turned around without waiting for Ye Tang’s response; he had to talk to his mom and get her on his side quickly.
“Come back here!” Ye Tang stated in a moderate voice. Ye Kun immediately froze on the spot and felt his heart skip a beat.
Ye Kun turned and hesitantly shuffled back. “Ye Tang,” he called out. Ye Tang shut the folder in his hands and fixed a beady stare on Ye Kun. Ye Kun visibly trembled.
“What’s with you? Do you have something to hide?” Ye Tang calmly asked his brother.
When their father passed away, Ye Tang’s little brother cried his eyes out but still thought to bring food and water to his busy older brother. His little brother would always endure it and apologize when Ye Tang would drag him over to hit or scold him during fits of bad temper, becoming more and more obedient over the years.
It was already a few years later when Ye Tang truly took over the family and corporation, and his little brother had also grown into a young man. Ye Tang always sent him off to the most difficult jobs and places to train him, making him start work from the bottom. Ye Tang was constantly hard on him to hone his brother.
His little brother is thankfully able to stand on his own now. He didn’t have any bad quirks or habits, nor did he have any degenerate behaviors common in the rich and wealthy. Ye Tang was pleased with his little brother but had never told him because he was afraid that Ye Kun would become arrogant.
Ye Kun fearfully looked at Ye Tang as he answered, “No, I don’t. I didn’t do anything wrong, Ye Tang. Didn’t I submit my reports on time? I read through all the documents, and the projects and sales I’m in charge of are going well. Ye
Tang—I’
Ye Tang waved his hand to interrupt him, “I read your reports.” Ye Kun heaved a sigh of relief, thinking, ‘I’m never careless when it’s about work. But why else is he here ifhe’s not asking about my work?
“Mom said that Auntie Xi came to visit today,” Ye Tang uttered detachedly.
“What’s she here for?” Ye Kun asked coldly, instantly on guard.
Ye Tang didn’t bat an eyelid at his brother’s reaction. “She told Mom to be careful of a girl. She said that the girl is a vixen who targets and strings along young men from wealthy families; she got her claws into Xi Cheng and almost caused Xi Cheng and Lin Yu to break up. She has a new target now; Auntie Xi Cheng says it’s you!”
“That’s bullsh*t!” Ye Kun snarled, agitated. “She’s the vixen! Her whole family are vixens!”
Ye Tang’s face darkened. “Ye Kun, language!”
Ye Kun subconsciously paused, but straight away, he anxiously said, “Big
Brother, Fang Xi isn’t a vixen. She’s a good girl—the best girl I’ve ever seen. Ye
Tang, I want to marry her! I won’t marry anyone other than Fang Xi!”
Ye Kun simply and directly said it aloud. ‘Forget about all the plans, schemes, and drafts,’ he thought. ‘I don’t care anymore; I’ll be with Fang Xi even ifBig
Brother objects.’
‘ The worst Big Brother can do is kick me out; even so, I’ll still be with Fang Xi. The Ye family has my outstanding brother, so theVll be fine; they don’t need me to bringglory to the family name.. I’ll spend my life with Fang M!’
