Chapter 131: Sick Obsession
Yue Xin’s gaze landed on Yue Lingyi’s shoes again. Logically speaking, she had to change into slippers when she returned home, but he seemed to be in a hurry to come in and entered the house with his shoes on. This also made it very easy for Yue Xin to see the mud on the soles of his shoes.
The very fresh soil was obviously stained from the garden. Coupled with the blood on the knife, Yue Xin immediately knew where he had been and what he was doing before entering the house.
She threw Yue Lingyi’s words, which seemed to be announcing Yue Lingyu’s ownership, to the back of her mind. Instead, she turned to her brother, Yue Lingchen, and complained, “Big Brother, he killed your toad!”
Yue Lingchen, who was originally thinking about how to explain to Yue Xin that Yue Lingyi had no ill intentions, was stunned when he heard Yue Xin’s words. It was rare for the domineering CEO of the business world to short-circuit.
What? The toad he kept in the garden?
Yue Lingchen usually looked perfect, talented, and willing to work hard, as he managed the company in the day , and returned to take care of the family at night. However, no one knew that Yue Lingchen had a pathological obsession with earning money.
Everyone’s pursuit of money was basically to use the money they earned to exchange for things to achieve joy. However, Yue Lingchen was different. His joy came from money itself. He earned money because it made him happy. He enjoyed the feeling of obtaining a large amount of money through hard work.
Moreover, Yue Lingchen had many ways to earn money…
That toad was a sacred pet from a master that Yue Lingchen had specially invited. After that, he found a famous Feng Shui master in Xuan School and chose the best location to keep the toad. He specially raised the toad there so he could earn a lot of money.
Even Eldest Brother couldn’t resist the temptation of the Moneymaker Toad. This was Yue Xin’s evaluation of the family’s Moneymaker Toad. But now, the toad that Yue Lingchen cherished and had a full-time nanny had been killed by Yue Lingyi.
When Yue Lingyi heard Yue Xin’s words, he didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. He even raised his chin arrogantly. It was obvious that he was very unhappy with Yue Xin’s deliberate change of topic. “The toad was too noisy. It shouted at me. It serves it right to be killed.” As he spoke, he looked at Yue Xin as if he was implying something.
Although Yue Lingyu was a little afraid of Yue Lingyi, he was also the person who understood Yue Lingyi’s personality the best. When he heard his words, although he was still crying, he also showed a protective attitude towards Yue Xin and refuted Yue Lingyi softly, “You, don’t, sob… scare your sister.” He sobbed and looked very pitiful.
Yue Lingyi frowned and suddenly felt very frustrated, but he didn’t say anything. He just moved his fierce gaze away from Yue Xin. Just as he was about to say something, Yue Lingchen’s emotionless voice came from the side. “Yue Lingyi, what did you do to my toad?”
Yue Lingyi’s body froze. He keenly caught the keyword “my” in Yue Lingchen’s words- Was the toad raised by Big Brother?
Yue Lingyi opened his mouth to explain, but Yue Xin interrupted, “Big Brother, he killed your toad.” As she spoke, she looked at the scalpel. There was some tissue left on it, and she added, “He even dissected the toad!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Lingyi looked at Yue Xin fiercely. However, before he could exert his strength, Yue Lingchen grabbed the back of his collar and brought him to the garden.
Yue Xin looked at their backs expressionlessly and only patted Yue Lingyu’s back. “Fourth Brother, don’t cry.”
Yue Lingyu drank the warm milk Yue Xin gave him and wiped his tears. He turned around and comforted Yue Xin, “Sister, don’t be afraid. Little Five is actually… quite good. If he’s fierce to you, I’ll protect you.”
Yue Xin looked at Yue Lingyu’s red eyes and seriously suspected that Fourth
Brother was talking about protecting her by using his cries to divert Yue Lingyi’s attention. However, she didn’t say anything and said seriously, “Thank you, Fourth Brother.”
On the other hand, a certain unlucky child who had made a mistake after returning was dragged to the garden by Yue Lingchen and forced to stitch up the corpse of the toad that had just been dissected. Then, under Yue Lingchen’s supervision, he apologized to the toad seriously. He even personally dug a small pit for the toad and placed the carcass inside. Finally, he erected a monument. On it was written, “Toad No. 1.”
After settling the toad’s funeral matters, Yue Lingyi was forced to listen to more than an hour of teaching before finally returning to the house.
The moment they returned, they saw Yue Xin and Yue Lingyu whispering to each other around the scalpel on the table. No one knew what they were talking about.
After Yue Lingchen walked in, he heard clearly that Yue Xin was explaining to Yue Lingyu, “This is a scalpel for dissecting, not a scalpel for operating. The scalpel for surgery is not as big as the blade of the scalpel for dissecting because the scalpel has to make a longer and deeper incision so that it can remove part of the organizational structure. It’s very dangerous to walk around with such a scalpel. You can’t get close.”
In Yue Xin’s memory, there was such a person on the fourth floor of the prison. He spent a lot of money to get a scalpel from outside the prison and brought it with him every day. It was extremely precious..
