Chapter 1915 1916: I Once Had Brothers Too
From Xiahou Yutong's words, Ye Xunhuan learned that Qiu Shuihan and Xie Mingjiang had a deep relationship before, and unknown things had happened between them, but now it seems, these things were not that special!
Otherwise, Xiahou Yutong wouldn't have said it like that.
Immediately, Ye Xunhuan slowly turned his gaze to Qiu Shuihan, with an evident curiosity.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan's gaze, Qiu Shuihan snorted lightly and said, "These are old, toothless stories, what's there to talk about?"
From Qiu Shuihan's words, it was easy to hear that he indeed did not intend to talk about it, or perhaps as Xiahou Yutong said, he had no face to mention it!
"It's because you have no face to say it!" Xiahou Yutong stared at Qiu Shuihan and said, "Even if it were me, I wouldn't have the face to talk about it either!"
"After all, it's not a glorious event."
Although Ye Xunhuan was curious about what grievances and entanglements existed between Qiu Shuihan and Xie Mingjiang, he hesitated to ask.
After all, Qiu Shuihan was his father-in-law, how could Ye Xunhuan force him to ask Qiu Shuihan?
Moreover, Ye Xunhuan dared not push Qiu Shuihan!
Unless Qiu Shuihan himself wanted to say it, or Xiahou Yutong revealed it, otherwise, Ye Xunhuan was destined not to know!
Later, Ye Xunhuan said, "Mom, it's all in the past, let's not talk about Dad anymore!"
At present, Ye Xunhuan could only say this, otherwise he couldn't provoke Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong into an argument here.
Xiahou Yutong snorted lightly, "Because it's in the past, it should be told, otherwise there might be losses in the future!"
"That Xie Mingjiang was just a little punk back then!" Xiahou Yutong stared at Qiu Shuihan and said, "Your dad thought Xie Mingjiang was smart and quick-witted, so he helped him out!"
"But who would have thought this ungrateful person would turn on him, taking over half of your dad's assets, and almost landed him in prison..."
Ye Xunhuan stared at Qiu Shuihan in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
Although Ye Xunhuan hadn't been with Qiu Shuihan for long, he could see that Qiu Shuihan wasn't an easy person to deal with, and for Xie Mingjiang to deceive him, it showed how much trust Qiu Shuihan had in Xie Mingjiang back then!
As Qiu Shuihan spoke, Ye Xunhuan began to slowly understand.
It turned out that Xie Mingjiang and Qiu Shuihan came from the same place, and their families had some connections before; although the Xie family wasn't poor at that time, it wasn't as grand as it is now, being one of the powerful families in Jiangzhou City!
Moreover, at that time, Xie Mingjiang was just a little punk, as Xiahou Yutong mentioned, doing nothing, but everything changed after he followed Qiu Shuihan.
As time passed, Xie Mingjiang gained Qiu Shuihan's trust; Qiu Shuihan once treated Xie Mingjiang frankly and taught him everything he knew at all costs.
Back then, Xie Mingjiang was eager to learn and showed respect to Qiu Shuihan, but people change, especially when their status rises, and after seeing new people and things, changes occur!
And Xie Mingjiang's rise in status and broadened horizons led to his ambition, he no longer wanted to be beneath others.
He wanted to climb to the top.
So he devised a conspiracy, a year-and-a-half plot that not only took half of Qiu Shuihan's assets but nearly sent Qiu Shuihan to jail.
However, Qiu Shuihan, remembering their past, didn't confront Xie Mingjiang afterwards but aimed to make a comeback, which led to the current Royal Map Group!
It can be said that the feud between Qiu Shuihan and Xie Mingjiang was all about interests.
And, certainly, it can be said that Qiu Shuihan didn't see through Xie Mingjiang at first, otherwise, things wouldn't have gone this way.
From then on, Qiu Shuihan and Xie Mingjiang were almost entirely cut off, having no further contact.
Xiahou Yutong initially didn't want to mention this matter, but when Ye Xunhuan spoke about the trouble being caused by Xie Mingjiang, the old resentment combined with her anger and erupted, telling Ye Xunhuan.
After hearing all this, Ye Xunhuan glanced at Xie Mingjiang with some sympathy.
He honestly didn't expect his father-in-law had been deceived so miserably by Xie Mingjiang.
No wonder no one brought up the Xie matter before.
Not to mention Xie Mingjiang wouldn't bring it up, even Ye Xunhuan wouldn't mention it.
After all, it's not something worth showing off.
Yet, Ye Xunhuan admired Qiu Shuihan greatly; experiencing such a huge loss and still able to endure it.
But this also shows that Qiu Shuihan is a man who values emotions deeply, otherwise, how could this account have been let go like this?
How could the Xie family occupy a position in Jiangzhou City?
"Everything is karma; initially, you nurtured him, got deceived by him, now Xunhuan killed him, indeed cause and effect, karma unfailing!"
Qiu Shuihan sighed slightly, his face full of helplessness.
Seeing this, Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but speak again, "Mom, alright, don't say anymore, actually Dad isn't having it easy either!"
"What's not easy for him?"
Ye Xunhuan glanced at Qiu Shuihan, then said to Xiahou Yutong, "Mom, the bond between men isn't as simple as you think, although Xie Mingjiang betrayed Dad, yet many years of emotions, the teacher and friend brotherhood can't be erased!"
"Even though Xie Mingjiang was ruthless, Dad couldn't achieve 'if you're unrighteous, blame me not for acting unjustly'", Ye Xunhuan said softly, "And Mom, that's what you valued in Dad, otherwise why would you marry him?"
Xiahou Yutong fell silent, indeed just like Ye Xunhuan said, she married Qiu Shuihan completely because she valued his deep feelings and righteousness.
Seeing Xiahou Yutong silent, Ye Xunhuan spoke again, "Okay, it's all in the past, let's turn the page on this matter, and from now on, none of us mentions it again!"
Because Ye Xunhuan mediated, Xiahou Yutong didn't say much else, instead, Qiu Shuihan glanced at Ye Xunhuan with slight gratitude.
Later, Xiahou Yutong again showed concern for Ye Xunhuan and left, leaving the space to Qiu Shuihan and Ye Xunhuan!
After Xiahou Yutong left, Qiu Shuihan said to Ye Xunhuan, "Do you think I was really stupid before?"
Startled by Qiu Shuihan's words, Ye Xunhuan almost reflexively froze, quickly understanding the meaning behind Qiu Shuihan's words, hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I can understand, I also once had brothers!"
"I understand that kind of feeling!"
