Chapter 90

Ten minutes later, in a private room of a high-end restaurant.

Mother Qiao handed Qiao Ruiyi a document with a serious look.

"Rui Yi, I have found out that the person who killed your brother was Lin Sheng."

Qiao Ruiyi's fingers trembled slightly as he flipped open the document, which contained the traffic accident records of that year, eyewitness testimonies, and other relevant evidence.

If there wasn't the video recorded by You En, they wouldn't have been able to directly identify the person who killed Qiao Ruien!

"Mom, he must pay the price this time!" Qiao Ruiyi said sternly.

Last time he ran away, this time I have to send him to jail no matter what!

"I have contacted a lawyer and am preparing to file a lawsuit against him." Qiao's mother said firmly, "He can't get away."

How dare you hurt her son!

The crime is unforgivable!

"In addition to drunk driving and hit-and-run, Lin Sheng is also suspected of fraud," Qiao Ruiyi thought of the hatred between the other party and Yuan Xingyou, and he also wanted to fight for his boyfriend.

"My teammate, Xing...You has been cheated by him before!" Qiao Ruiyi almost shouted like a star.

Upon hearing this, Qiao's mother leaned back in her chair with her arms folded and remained silent for a moment.

She suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with Yuan Xingyou?"

While investigating, she sent someone to check Qiao Ruiyi's current interpersonal relationships and discovered that he not only had a close relationship with a teammate, but their professional IDs were also a pair.

The woman's sixth sense kicked in, and Qiao's mother's subconscious told her that something was wrong.

Qiao Ruiyi paused, raised his eyes and looked directly at his mother: "What did you find out?"

"I just want to know more about my son's life." Qiao's mother said calmly, but her eyes were not friendly. "But I didn't expect that you and him..."

"We are dating." Qiao Ruiyi directly admitted his special relationship with Yuan Xingyou without any hesitation.

He originally planned to tell the other party about this.

Mother Qiao's expression froze instantly.

"What did you say?" Her voice trembled a little.

"I like him, and he likes me too." Qiao Ruiyi did not back down, "I don't want to hide it from you."

Mother Qiao clenched the teacup in her hand until her knuckles turned white.

"Rui Yi, do you know what you are talking about?"

Her voice was cold. "You are my only child. I can't watch you go astray..."

"Wrong path?" Qiao Ruiyi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“Without him, I would feel I am on the wrong path.”

Mother Qiao was stunned.

"After my brother got into trouble, I felt like the whole world was gray. I felt very sad and blamed myself. I will live according to your requirements. To make you feel at ease, I will not go anywhere and will be a toy for anyone to play with.

It’s just that I was always unhappy, and at one point I felt like I was tired even from breathing… It was Xingyou who pulled me out of this situation, and he made me… feel like I could still move forward.”

Mother Qiao's fingertips trembled slightly and she looked at him with complicated eyes.

"I understand your objection, but I can tell you very confidently that I will not give up on him." This was Qiao's decisive answer.

There was a long silence in the box.

Finally, Mother Qiao rubbed her brows tiredly and waved her hand, saying, "...You go first. Let me think about it."

Qiao Ruiyi knew that this was already the biggest concession his mother had made.

He stood up and left, and when he reached the door, he looked back at his mother.

The always strong woman now had her shoulders slightly hunched, as if she had aged a lot in an instant.

His heart seemed to be tugged by an invisible hand, but he still said softly: "Mom, no matter what you decide, you are my mother."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Mother Qiao sighed, and a few strands of white hair appeared.

The camera turns.

Outside the team base, dusk fell.

Yuan Xingyou walked to the gate of the base alone to get some fresh air. Qiao Ruiyi had just been called away by his mother, and he was a little uncomfortable being left alone suddenly.

The night breeze was cool, Yuan Xingyou looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

Not far away, there were two familiar figures standing under the street light.

"Xingyou! Mom misses you and came here to see you." Yuan Xingyou's mother smiled as soon as she saw him.

Yuan Xingyou's expression suddenly turned cold: "How did you find this place?"

"Oh, you're a big star now. Your news is everywhere on the Internet. As parents, of course we have to care about our son." The father rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly.

"Just tell me what you want to say." Yuan Xingyou said in a cold tone.

The mother's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled again: "Look, you're making a lot of money now, shouldn't you pay your respects to your parents? Besides, your brother's schooling also costs money..."

Yuan Xingyou interrupted her intention and said, "The money I transferred to you last time was enough for you to use for four months. Now you come to me for money in less than a month?"

What did these two do with the money?

He was just afraid that what he earned was not enough to support the extravagance of these two people.

Yuan Xingyou sneered. When he had no money, these two people didn't even remember that they had him. When he had money, they seemed like a different person and visited him every now and then.

Money can cure partiality, right?

“I don’t have any money,” Yuan Xingyou didn’t want to give the other party the impression that he was using a free ATM machine.

After hearing the other party's answer, Yuan's father's face suddenly darkened: "How do you talk to your parents? We raised you to this age, and this is your attitude?"

"Support me?" Yuan Xingyou raised his lips in a mocking arc, as if he had heard a joke. "Since you forced me to drop out of school, besides asking me for money, have you ever cared about my life or death?"

I’m afraid they don’t know yet that they have been cheated?

Yuan's father was like a mouse whose tail was stepped on, his face turned red in an instant, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Yuan Xingyou hard!

Snap——

"Rebellious son!"

Yuan Xingyou's face was hit crooked, and a red palm print appeared on his fair skin.

Yuanfu used a lot of strength in this slap.

Yuan Xingyou, who was beaten, gritted his teeth, and even though his eyes were red, he still stubbornly refused to bow his head.

Seeing this, Yuan's mother was stunned for a second, then chose to stand on Yuan's father's side, "It is every child's duty to respect their parents. We raised you to this age, you have to give us something in return!"

Qiao Ruiyi, who had just returned to the base, was instantly furious when he saw Yuan Xingyou being beaten. He rushed forward and grabbed Yuan's father's wrist with such force that he almost crushed his bones: "Try to touch him again?"

The questioning was so fierce that he even skipped the step of asking about the other party's identity.

Yuan's father's face was distorted with pain, and he couldn't understand where this person came from: "Who are you?! It's not your turn to discipline my son!"

Is this guy crazy?

"I'm his boyfriend." Qiao Ruiyi spoke each word clearly, his eyes as cold as ice.

The one who bullies him is the one who bullies him.

"If you dare touch him again, I don't mind putting you in the hospital."

Yuan's mother was about to go up and rescue her husband, but her face changed immediately after hearing these words.

"What boyfriend?"

Does Yuan Xingyou like boys?

"Let go, you lunatic!" Yuan's father felt that his arm was about to break in two. His expression was twisted and there was even a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

What on earth did this person eat to grow up? Why is he so strong?

Mother Yuan was stunned by the shouting, then realized that Father Yuan was not in a good state. She immediately rushed over and grabbed Qiao Ruiyi's arm. She scratched it with her nails and screamed loudly: "Let go."

At this moment, a young boy's voice suddenly interrupted.

"Dad! Mom! What are you doing?!"

Everyone turned around and saw a young man who looked 70% like Yuan Xingyou standing not far away.

He was wearing a clean white school uniform, had a well-proportioned figure, was about 1.8 meters tall, and had a schoolbag on his back, exuding the aura of youth.

This person is Yuan Xingyou’s younger brother, Yuan Tianyou.

Yuan Tianyou suddenly rushed over, first pushing away Yuan's mother who was pestering him, then grabbing Yuan's father's other intact arm and demanding, "You come to ask my brother for money again?!"

As soon as Qiao Ruiyi saw the child who looked like Yuan Xingyou, he roughly understood this man's true identity, and he immediately shook off Yuan's father's hand.

"Xingyou, are you okay?"

When Yuan's mother saw Yuan Tianyou, she panicked and hurried to pull him, "Tianyou, why are you here?"

Now, even Yuan's father, who was wailing non-stop, had no time to care.

She advised kindly: "We are just here to see your brother..."

How can you speak so harshly about your family's affairs?

"Stop lying!" Yuan Tianyou was so angry that his eyes turned red.

"Every time you come to see me, what else do you do besides asking for money?!"

Don't think that he doesn't know these things because he is young. He just doesn't want to embarrass everyone by saying them.

The Yuan father and mother's hypocritical masks were exposed by their youngest son in front of them, and their faces turned pale and blue.

But Yuan Tianyou was their most beloved child, and they did not dare to make a scene in front of him.

“Tianyou, don’t be angry, let’s go now!”

The mother pulled Yuan's father away awkwardly, "You should also remember to go home early and don't run around outside."

Before she left, she glared at Yuan Xingyou fiercely.

After the two walked away, Yuan Tianyou turned around and looked at his brother. His eyes were wet and tears fell uncontrollably: "Brother... I'm sorry, I didn't know they would come to find you."

He didn't know what his parents were going to do when they left home in the evening, so he followed them out of curiosity. However, he didn't expect that they would go to find his brother, and then he saw Yuan's father beating his brother.

How can this be?

Why are other people's families so close to each other, but theirs is not?

Yuan Tianyou cried like a tearful man.

Yuan Xingyou shook his head and forced a smile: "This is none of your business, don't be sad."

Yuan Tianyou bit his lips aggrievedly, and suddenly hugged his brother: "Brother, don't be sad... They don't love you, but I love you the most!"

He wants to study hard and make a lot of money, then buy a big house for his brother and make him happy all his life!

Yuan Xingyou froze, then hugged his brother tightly back, his voice choked with sobs: "...Yeah."

Qiao Ruiyi stood aside and watched the two brothers quietly.

Xingxing's parents don't look like good people, and the look in their eyes when they left the game at the end... he'd better keep a close eye on them.

After seeing Yuan Tianyou off, Yuan Xingyou finally couldn't hold on any longer. His legs went weak and he slowly slid down to sit on the ground. He buried his face in his palms, his shoulders trembling slightly.

His voice was hoarse. "Why...why don't they love me? What's wrong with me? Is it because I can't read? Or because I'm not the youngest child? Is it because...I'm not Tianyou?"

Qiao Ruiyi slowly squatted down and gently hugged him in his arms, as tenderly as if he was embracing his whole world: "This is not your fault."

"They only love my money..." Yuan Xingyou's voice was fragmented and tears fell.

"From childhood to adulthood, they have never cared about me... When Tianyou had a fever, they rushed him to the hospital overnight, but my fever was 40 degrees, and they said 'I won't die'..."

Yuan Xingyou was so sad that he choked and his eyes were red.
