Chapter 220: Where on earth did 220 go? Chapter 220: Where on earth did 220 go? But the He family refused to give up, causing a fuss, insisting they continue the search, and even voluntarily provided them with travel expenses.
It was only then that they realized their mother actually had such a large sum of money.
Looking back, they thought about how they had quarreled over such a small benefit for their own family, not only splitting up the household, but also diluting the affection between each other.
Now, it all seemed so ridiculous.
Helpless, the two brothers took the travel expenses and set out once more to search for their sister.
In the blink of an eye, another month or two passed; they searched far and wide, asked many questions, but failed to find any news of their sister. Plus, their funds were nearly depleted, so they had no choice but to return.
The two brothers seemed to share a telepathic bond; although they had taken different routes, they unexpectedly met outside the town upon their return.
Moreover, they were lucky to finally see the sister they had been searching for so long.
The moment they saw Ye Jiu, Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui felt like crying.
Although they each had their own little schemes and private thoughts, they were still bound by blood and didn’t wish any harm to befall one another.
As for Ye Gaoshi, being the eldest brother in the family, his emotions were even more intense than Ye Gaoshui’s.
“Little sister, where have you been all this time? Do you know how many days and places your brothers have been to find you?” Ye Gaoshi clutched Ye Jiu’s hand, unwilling to let go.
He was so afraid that this moment was just a dream, and that upon letting go, he would wake up to find nothing, and his sister still missing.
“It’s a long story; let’s go back and talk,” said Ye Jiu, looking at her brothers’ worn-out appearances. She felt a pang of heartache and was moved, “Eldest brother, second brother, you’ve worked hard during this time.”
In the past, although she agreed to split the soap business, she deep down blamed them for being heartless, for disregarding kinship for the sake of profit.
But now, Ye Jiu had truly come to terms with it.
She was unmarried and so felt that the closest bonds were with her brothers and family.
But since her eldest and second brothers were already married and had their own children, it was only natural for them to prioritize their own little families; all of this was normal.
After all, no matter how close siblings are, they cannot be closer than one’s own children.
“It wasn’t hard; as long as you are back, that’s all that matters,” Ye Gaoshi sighed.
As long as everyone is well, suffering a bit is nothing, and it’s not as if it could cost a life.
“By the way, has the fourth brother come back?” Ye Gaoshui asked.
The fourth brother and the little sister had the best relationship because the fourth brother was the most sincere, and they were aware of that, so there was no jealousy.
The last time the two of them came back, the fourth brother hadn’t, and now several months had passed. He should have returned by now, shouldn’t he?
But Ye Jiu shook her head, “Fourth brother hasn’t returned yet.”
Ye Gaoshui sighed, “Initially, the fourth brother headed towards the capital city. Logically, even if he took a detour, he should have been back by now. Who knows where he has ended up searching?”
Ye Jiu felt the worst inside.
Unfortunately, there was no one she knew who could inquire for her.
Actually, she could try asking for help from Prince Jing’s side; however, he had just been rescued and she didn’t know when he would return to the capital or if he could help.
When she was home, she knew that her fourth brother had left to find her since the moment she went missing, and now, three months later, he still hadn’t come back.
Now, upon hearing Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui mention him, Ye Jiu couldn’t help worrying about Ye Gaosheng’s safety.
