Another One Kicked Out of the Home

Zhu Yu happily put away the IOU.

After going through all this, Shen Jingyan had accepted his fate. He did not even have ten cents on him now, could barely eat his fill every day, and had no strength left to struggle.

Shen Jingmo had clearly noticed that his scatterbrained younger brother seemed to have grown a little wiser lately.

Zhu Yu's room had a large balcony. With the boss out, he was the boss. Zhu Yu happily sat on the balcony drinking juice.

But before he could enjoy himself for more than a few minutes, a familiar voice came from the villa across the way.

"Li Yichen! I advise you to wake up. Haven't you noticed that even Shen Jingyan has become much more obedient? He stays home working every day now."

"What are you doing? Every day, you're either accompanying that one to jump into the sea or accompanying that one to jump off a building. If you've got the guts, jump off the balcony right now." Li Yiyan angrily pulled open the balcony curtains and dragged Li Yichen over.

Zhu Yu blankly met their gazes. Awkwardly raising a hand, he waved. "Hello, President Li, Young Master Li."

Li Yichen shrank back.

Li Yiyan nodded to Zhu Yu, then turned and shoved Li Yichen forward. "Go on! Why aren't you going now? So you can't jump unless you're holding someone?"

Zhu Yu eagerly leaned over the railing and nodded.

[Exactly, President Li. Your foolish little brother's life goal is to become doomed lovebirds with that crazy Mu Yuqing.]

Hearing what Zhu Yu was saying in his heart from across the way, Li Yiyan's face darkened. Thinking of all the trouble his foolish younger brother had caused these past few days, the veins on his hand nearly burst.

"Young Master Li, don't be afraid. It's only the third floor. At worst, you'll just end up disabled if you jump."

Zhu Yu looked down. Oh ho, the Li Household's garden across the way had a tea patio instead of lawn beneath the balcony. Just thinking about landing on that hurt.

"Zhu Yu, stop fanning the flames here!!!" Li Yichen had naturally noticed the tiles below as well, and his face was full of fury as he looked at Zhu Yu.

"Hey, Young Master Li, I don't like the sound of that. How am I fanning the flames? If I had that kind of ability, I'd definitely have President Li treat you the way the boss treats his younger brother."

"Cut off your bank cards, take away your housekeeper, and make you live from one meal to the next. But did I say any of that to President Li?"

Li Yichen's eyes widened. Aren't you saying it right now?

"When the time comes, you'll have to wash clothes, cook, do the dishes—everything yourself. I'm sure Miss Mu won't be much help with housework or money, will she? The money you earn will have to support two people." Zhu Yu counted on his fingers and shook his head sympathetically.

"Oh, I nearly forgot. You're especially careless with work at the company too. You get less paid out than deducted. Oh my God, now that I think about it, the two of you will have to live on air."

"But I'm sure President Li can't bear to let his beloved younger brother live like that."

"Of course not. My brother is my real brother. How could he treat me like that?" Li Yichen lifted his chin smugly and looked disdainfully at Zhu Yu on the opposite balcony.

"That's a good idea." Li Yiyan's voice suddenly sounded calmly behind him.

Hearing that, Li Yichen turned around in disbelief to look at his own older brother. Are you serious?

Li Yiyan's expression was extremely solemn. These past few days had truly exhausted him. The two of them had worn him out so thoroughly that he could no longer maintain his gentle expression.

"Aunt Xue, go to the young master's room and pack a few short-sleeved shirts right away," Li Yiyan told Aunt Xue, who had been secretly watching.

"O-Okay." Though Aunt Xue could not bear it either, she had noticed over the past few days that the young master truly gave people no peace of mind. It was time to take him down a peg.

"Brother! Don't believe Zhu Yu's nonsense! He's lying to you! How could Brother Shen possibly treat Jingyan like that?" Li Yichen panicked.

Li Yiyan remained unmoved.

Across the way, Zhu Yu watched the scene with satisfaction. Oh my, after one young master who could not afford to eat, now there was another young master being kicked out of the home.

The moment Shen Jingyan stepped onto the balcony, he saw Zhu Yu's smile and suddenly felt a chill run down his back.

"Assistant Zhu." These past few days, it was not as though Shen Jingyan had not asked his brothers or grandfather for help, but with his own older brother looking after them, no one dared lend him money.

"Jingyan! You're finally here! Hurry and tell my brother that Brother Shen didn't cut off your bank cards or dismiss your housekeeper, right? Zhu Yu is just talking nonsense." Li Yichen looked at Shen Jingyan as if he had seen a savior.

Shen Jingyan had only just managed to steady his fragile heart, but Li Yichen's shout finally shattered his defenses completely.

"Just shut up! I'll tell you everything, all right? My brother cut off my cards and dismissed my housekeeper. I accidentally broke a vase and now I owe him several million. Now you all know. Happy?"

Li Yichen froze. Looking at his friend, who had suddenly broken down and burst into tears, he opened his mouth but could not say a single word.

Li Yiyan could not help giving his good friend a thumbs-up in his heart. If I'm ruthless, then you're absolutely savage.

Aunt Xue had finished packing the bag by then. It was truly only a tiny bundle, light enough to carry in one hand.

Li Yiyan carried the small bag and dragged his younger brother downstairs.

Zhu Yu curiously looked toward the front door of the first floor of the villa across the way. They were not really going through with it, were they?

A few minutes later, the front door across the way opened. Li Yiyan shoved Li Yichen straight outside, tossed the bag into his arms, then slammed the door shut.

Shen Jingyan had only just calmed himself down when he met the eyes of the brothers at the entrance of the villa across the way. Suddenly, he felt like he was not doing so badly after all. What was going on? At least he still had somewhere to sleep.

[Beautiful!!!]

Zhu Yu could not help applauding.
