Chapter 17: The Hidden Photos

“You’re back so soon?”

Butler Jin had just finished cleaning the living room when he saw Jin Mo leading in a young man who looked handsome but had a hint of roguishness.

Jin Mo hummed in acknowledgment, tossed the car keys onto the coffee table in the living room, and turned to head for the refrigerator in the kitchen.

In the living room, Butler Jin looked Xu Jiahao up and down before exclaiming in surprise, “Hmm?”

“Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?” Butler Jin pointed at Xu Jiahao, frowning.

Xu Jiahao pursed his lips and scratched his head.

“Hehe, Butler Jin, well… a few years ago, outside the villa, we bumped into each other!”

Butler Jin frowned, scrutinizing Xu Jiahao’s face.

“We bumped into each other?”

“Yeah!”

“Where did we bump into each other? Why can’t I remember?”

Xu Jiahao chuckled twice, pulled Butler Jin to the door, and pointed to a tree not far away!

With Xu Jiahao’s prompting, Butler Jin suddenly remembered.

“You… you’re the guy who climbed the tree to peep at Jin Mo!”

Butler Jin’s expression changed drastically, and he pointed at Xu Jiahao, shouting loudly.

Jin Mo, holding two bottles of drinks, walked over. Hearing Butler Jin’s words, he raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Xu Jiahao, startled by Butler Jin’s shout, took two steps back, almost bumping into Jin Mo.

“Here!” Jin Mo handed him a bottle of drink.

Xu Jiahao instinctively took it, hiding behind Jin Mo to avoid Butler Jin’s pointing finger.

“Little Mo, this… this is not a good person!” Butler Jin said anxiously. “Years ago, we still lived in the old house. Baiyan wasn’t home, and Jin Mother was often abroad. It was just you and me at home. For a while, I always felt like someone was spying on us.”

Jin Mo walked to Butler Jin’s side and patted him on the shoulder.

“Don’t worry, let’s sit over there and talk!”

Butler Jin looked at Xu Jiahao with suspicion.

“One night, I hid in the dark, and sure enough, I caught him! This guy was hiding in the tree, taking pictures with his phone!”

Xu Jiahao also remembered that night and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“You still have the nerve to laugh!” Butler Jin roared, “I was scared and angry at the time. I grabbed a bamboo pole and tried to poke him down, but he fell out of the tree and landed on me. Oh my, I almost broke my old bones!”

This time, not only Xu Jiahao laughed, but even Jin Mo couldn’t help it, burying his face in his elbow, his body shaking with laughter.

“Little Mo… stop laughing, he’s really not a good person!” Butler Jin said anxiously, pushing Jin Mo.

Jin Mo laughed for a while before stopping. He pointed at Xu Jiahao.

“Uncle Jin, this is the capable person I went to see this morning!”

Butler Jin’s hand froze in mid-air, his body motionless, his facial expression ready to be turned into an emoji.

A minute later, Butler Jin finally reacted, pointing at Xu Jiahao.

“He…”

“Yes, the owner of the phone number in my brother’s book!”

Butler Jin’s mind was a little overwhelmed, a jumbled mess.

“Wait, why would his phone number be in your brother’s book?”

Jin Mo smiled. “This morning, I unlocked a new skill of my brother’s!”

Butler Jin rubbed his forehead.

“So, he was hired by Jin Baiyan to spy on you?”

Jin Mo frowned and shook his head.

“Not spy on me, just take pictures of me!”

Butler Jin pondered for a moment, understood, and then laughed out loud, commenting as he laughed.

“Jin Baiyan… really… does everything so… unexpectedly!”

Xu Jiahao took a sip of water, put the drink bottle on the table, and was genuinely puzzled.

“Don’t you find Jin Baiyan’s behavior a little scary?”

Jin Mo raised his eyebrows and gave Xu Jiahao a disdainful look.

Butler Jin waved his hand.

“Jin Baiyan wouldn’t have any bad intentions, he’s just worried about Little Mo!”

Jin Mo’s face was full of smiles, mixed with a hint of regret.

“Too bad, I’m not as smart as my brother!”

Butler Jin couldn’t help but laugh again.

Xu Jiahao sank into another EMO moment.

Jin Mo took out his phone, entered the cloud space, entered the account provided by Xu Jiahao, and then tried passwords one by one.

On the third try, his birthday plus his brother’s birthday 6831, unlocked it.

The total number of files was displayed at the top.

8032 images, 358 videos.

Jin Mo’s eyes widened, and he swiped down a few times. At a glance, they were all his photos and videos.

My god! His brother had secretly collected so many photos of him!

Jin Mo was shocked again! His heart started beating rapidly again.

No, no, he needed to calm down, his poor heart couldn’t take it!

Xu Jiahao also leaned over for a look, his eyes widening instantly, his mouth slightly open, clearly shocked too!

Jin Mo first glanced at it.

There were many photos, but the time span was also large.

Ninety-nine percent of the photos were concentrated between the ages of three and twenty. From twenty to twenty-three, there were only a few photos taken during festivals and school ID photos.

Those three years were when they were at odds!

Finding the photos taken by Xu Jiahao, he began to scroll through them quickly.

He muttered as he looked.

“Xu Jiahao, these photos are so ugly, your face is distorted, and you still send them to my brother? You’re ruining my image!”

“Oh, you even took pictures of me sleeping behind the book! My face is distorted!”

“Oh my god, this photo is unwatchable! I’m drooling!”

“Damn, am I this scary when I hit someone? Was my brother scared too!”

“Oh, how come there are also solo shots of these bad guys!”

Jin Mo pointed at a few photos, nudging Xu Jiahao.

“Didn’t these guys scold you? Your brother told me to take clear pictures of them so you wouldn’t retaliate against the wrong people!”

Jin Mo said “Oh” and smiled gleefully!

“This… isn’t this a photo of me cooking? How could you even take that?”

“I hid in the tree in front of your house! There are not only photos but also videos!”

Black lines instantly appeared on Jin Mo’s forehead.

That day was Jin Baiyan’s birthday. He wanted to make him a birthday cake, but he failed several times. It was either uncooked, burnt, or as stiff as dough. He spent the whole afternoon, but he couldn’t make one.

In the end, he ordered one from the cake shop.

“No wonder my brother was so happy when I gave him the cake that day!”

“Yeah, your brother saw your hard work that afternoon! Although he couldn’t eat a cake made by you personally, it was enough for him!” Xu Jiahao added, “That day, your brother also gave me a big red envelope as a reward!”

Jin Mo stopped smiling and complained unhappily.

“Why should he give you a red envelope? I was the one who worked hard all afternoon!”

“Tch! Without me as an intermediary, you could work for three days and nights, and your brother wouldn’t know!”

Jin Mo thought about it, and it was true. Without Xu Jiahao’s secret videos, even if he worked to death, his brother wouldn’t know!

“Right, right, right, thanks to you, I’ll give you more money later!” Jin Mo patted Xu Jiahao on the shoulder, smiling brightly.

Jin Mo spent nearly two hours looking at the photos and videos, almost reliving those two years.

He also realized again how much he had hurt his brother in those three years!

No wonder Jin Baiyan was sick! If it were him, he would probably be sick too!

After lunch, Xiao Feiwu sent over an update on the situation.
