Chapter 351 - 351 The Young Brothers
351 The Young Brothers
What was wrong with Ao Jie? He had been so cold to Ao Heng just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was talking about Ao Heng with such fondness?
Xu Qing and the others were not the only ones who were puzzled. Ao Heng, who was on the verge of death, also opened his eyes. He remembered that Ao Jie had long forgotten what happened before he was seven years old, but from the looks of it, Ao Jie clearly remembered everything. He had indeed told Ao Jie to be careful of Qiao Yanhui. At that time, Ao Jie was only five or six years old and he liked Ao Jie very much. After all, he was his legitimate son and was smart, so he had been the crown prince since he was young and Ao Heng doted on him. Even though Qiao Yanhui was a child at that time, he still asked Ao Jie to be careful of Qiao Yanhui. After all, Qiao Yanhui was different.
However, after Ao Jie fell seriously ill and woke up, he became a little different. After he changed, Ao Heng no longer liked him that much, and the fatherly love this crown prince received lessened over time.
Xu Qing suddenly had a guess and she said in shock, “You’re not Ao Jie! No, you’re also Ao Jie…” Xu Qing’s words were a little contradictory, but Qiao Yanhui and Ao Jie understood.
Qiao Yanhui frowned slightly. How could Ao Jie suddenly have another split personality? It was different from the irritable alternate personality that called Qiao Yanhui his older brother.
This feeling… There seemed to be a similarly arrogant child in his memory…
When Ao Jie heard Xu Qing’s words, he suddenly laughed and his shoulders started to tremble, as if he had heard a huge joke.
When Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui heard Ao Jie’s laughter, they had the same feeling. They both wanted to beat Ao Jie up.
“Don’t mention that piece of trash to me.” Ao Jie looked disdainful, as if hearing Ao Jie’s name was disgusting, but he had no choice but to share a body with that piece of trash.
Ao Heng, who was on the ground, suddenly raised his head and stared at Ao Jie. His favorite son had returned! But what was wrong with Ao Jie? Why did his personality keep changing? In fact, Ao Heng didn’t like Ao Jie very much, but among these sons, only Ao Jie resembled him when he was young.
Ao Heng lowered his head weakly again. At this moment, he felt that he was about to die of blood loss and he no longer had the strength to say anything. However, he really didn’t want to die.
Qiao Yanhui’s gaze gradually turned cold because he finally remembered this familiar feeling. That year, under the peach blossom tree, an extremely arrogant little boy said to him condescendingly, “Hey, come down.”
The young Qiao Yanhui didn’t even look at him and continued to sit on the tree in a daze.
“Hey, are you deaf? I asked you to come down! I’m the crown prince, the future emperor. How dare you disobey me!” Ao Jie continued to speak arrogantly.
Qiao Yanhui continued to remain silent.
However, Ao Jie had never been ignored like this since he could remember. As long as it was something he wanted, there was nothing he couldn’t get. However, this time, someone actually ignored him. This made him a little angry, but he was secretly happy as well.
After looking up for so long, Ao Jie was a little tired, so he sat on the ground and leaned against the tree at Qiao Yanhui’s feet.
“My name is Ao Jie. What’s yours?” This was the first time Ao Jie actually wanted to be friends with someone. This feeling was so strange.
Qiao Yanhui continued to stare into the distance in silence, as if something in the distance was attracting him. The place he was looking at was his mother’s palace, but no one was allowed to approach it anymore. He could barely see a corner of it while sitting on top of a tree. Although he had never seen his mother before, he missed her so much…
Qiao Yanhui let his thoughts wander. After an unknown period of time, Ao Jie suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. Then, a group of people rushed over, picked up Ao Jie nervously, and ran towards Empress Lin Shu’s bedroom.
Qiao Yanhui was still looking ahead without moving.
After that, he was beaten up by Lin Shu. At that time, Lin Shu even said fiercely, “You’re really a bastard born from a slut. Nothing good happens when you’re around! You’re simply tempting fate. How dare you hurt my son?”
Qiao Yanhui couldn’t remember what happened after that because he was knocked unconscious.
When he saw Ao Jie again, Ao Jie no longer had his high and mighty attitude. Instead, he looked at him happily and called him brother. He didn’t know why Ao Jie called him brother, but he didn’t care. He continued to ignore the boy and stared ahead.
That day, he was beaten up by Lin Shu again for allegedly instigating the Crown Prince to be his younger brother and trying to usurp the throne with ill intentions… Then, Ao Heng also beat him up. From then on, Qiao Yanhui never approached Ao Jie again…
