Chapter 218 Who told you to talk like that? It's disgusting

【Are you taking drugs?】

Who would stick a needle into a carotid artery while taking drugs? And where did the homeless person get the money to take drugs? This must be a special tool or method. The murderer simply removed the man's head to cover up the truth.

【Makes sense\/Serious face】

[Next, we move on to the no-prize guessing game! What caused that hole?]

…

Netizens made all kinds of guesses, ranging from materialism to theology, and some even joked that it was a vampire. Gu Nan was speechless for a second, then decisively exited the post.

Only by selectively accessing the Internet can we preserve our increasingly deteriorating thinking abilities.

While collecting other news, a black car stopped outside the yard, the door opened, and Cui Mingzhu and Pei Hong walked into the yard.

They stood on the path, and Pei Hong waved to Qi Yan, who was making a snowman, "Qi Yan, come quickly, I have news to tell you."

Qi Yan looked up at them, then continued to make a snowman with his head down, his expression cold, as if he was looking at two strangers.

Pei Hong was embarrassed and unhappy, but his tone was still gentle. With his mature and handsome face, he spoke in a very deceptive and bad-tempered tone. "Pei Xing has returned to the slums. Come here, I'll show you the video."

Qi Yan raised his eyes again.

A young and tender face with clear big eyes looked up at the couple on the roadside. Even though his face was expressionless, he still looked as stupid as a child who could be deceived by candy.

Pei Hong thought he had taken the bait and smiled, "I know you've always wanted to see it, come on."

Qi Yan paused, as if hesitating and thinking. After two seconds, he put down the half-opened snowball in his hand and slowly walked towards the two of them with his crutches.

Pei Hong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Pei Xing was indeed Qi Yan's thorn in his side. If he had known this, he would have sent him back before the New Year, so how could so much money have evaporated?

Cui Mingzhu couldn't bear it and looked away, her eyes a little red.

Qi Yan walked to the side of the road and extended his hand to Pei Hong.

Pei Hong handed him the tablet.

Qi Yan walked to Gu Nan and pulled her to watch together.

The background of the video was indeed that familiar corridor. Pei Xing was standing alone at the door of Qi's house with two huge silver suitcases at his feet. He looked at the person filming the video, tears streaming down his face, his eyes swollen like walnuts, full of helplessness.

"Why are you doing this? I want to call my dad..."

The rusty door suddenly swung open, revealing a haggard Xu Yuelian. Her dusty apron was soaked in patches, and her purple rubber gloves were dripping wet. Her hair, tied back at the back of her head, was taut and droopy, threatening to fall out at any moment. The messy strands of hair on either side of her head draped across her face, almost covering most of her face. In just a month, her hair had already become gray.

She raised her dull eyes and looked at the person standing outside the door. She was stunned for two seconds before she let out a cry of surprise: "Pei Xing!"

Xu Yuelian excitedly took Pei Xing's hand, her eyes instantly reddened, "Child, why are you here? Did the Pei family kick you out?"

"They didn't hit you, did they? Are you hurt? Are you feeling unwell?" Xu Yuelian looked at Pei Xing from side to side and choked up. "Did they find out what happened last night? I wouldn't have gone if I had known. It's Mom who has implicated you."

She wiped her tears with her gloves.

Pei Xing looked at her with tears in his eyes, then saw Xu Yuelian's slovenly clothes, and the shabby and crowded room behind her. The liver-colored floor was covered with cigarette ash and oil stains, giving off a disgusting color.

Tears streamed down my cheeks, soaking my sweater and making it feel cold.

He felt a wave of despair.

He couldn't believe that this was his original home. He couldn't believe that the 19-year relationship with his adoptive parents was severed just like that, and he returned to the slums without even saying goodbye.

Pei Xing shook off Xu Yuelian's hand and took two steps back.

Xu Yuelian wiped her tears and ran after him, saying in her most gentle and loving voice, "Don't be afraid, child. I'm here and I won't let you suffer. Come, go home with me."

Pei Xing was unwilling to accept it and turned around to run, but was stopped by a bodyguard in black.

He finally realized that he had no way out, and he broke down and cried.

Xu Yuelian hugged him tightly, her sobs hoarse and sad.

At the end of the video, the expensive, bright red down jacket, a bright color that stood out in the room, disappeared behind the rusty, old door.

A small wild chrysanthemum that was nurtured among roses was finally broken by the gardener himself, completely losing the straight branch that transported nutrients.

This is a joyful and addictive video.

Qi Yan scrolled through the progress bar and looked at it over and over again, like a stubborn child, his eyes full of innocent cruelty.

After reading it twice, Gu Nan turned off the tablet.

Qi Yan raised his head with an unsatisfied look and said to Pei Hong, "I want this video."

Cui Mingzhu kept wiping her eyes with her back to them, obviously unable to control her emotions.

Pei Hong seemed unaffected and replied with a smile: "Of course, you can have whatever you want."

"But you have to help Dad at the company too. Cash flow has been a bit difficult lately, and several projects have been put on hold. If you don't pay attention now, it will be too late."

Qi Yan fiddled with the tablet, "It's no use looking for me, I don't care about this."

Pei Hong: "Don't worry about it, just tell grandma."

Qi Yan: "What?"

Pei Hong knew he was doing it on purpose, but he still said patiently, "Just tell the truth. Pei Xing has already gone back. If the Pei family doesn't pay attention to you, they won't be able to support you."

Qi Yan said "Oh" and said, "I told you long ago that I don't need you to support me. Let Pei's go bankrupt."

Pei Hong's expression changed, "Qi Yan, stop making trouble and be obedient."

Qi Yan raised his eyelids and glanced at him with disgust, "Who told you to talk like that? Disgusting."

Pei Hong was so angry that his chest felt blocked.

Cui Mingzhu turned around and said angrily, "We've already sent Pei Xing back as you wished. What else do you want?"

"Have you severed ties with me, moved your registered residence, changed your name? Are you going to bring her home again in a couple of days to continue to annoy me?" Qi Yan sneered.

"Besides, I never promised you anything. Don't act like you've done everything you can. It's ugly."

Pei Hong's head was swelling with anger. He suppressed his anger and said, "What other conditions do you have? Tell me all of them at once."

"You guys can't give me what I want in my next life." Qi Yan shook the tablet in his hand and smiled, "Thank you for the video, but I keep my word. We are just strangers. Let's not contact each other in the future."

"Qi Yan!" Cui Mingzhu was completely furious and grabbed his hand. "How can you be so cold and heartless!"

Qi Yan looked at her coldly, "Do you think you're particularly affectionate and loyal? Your deep affection and loyalty means driving Pei Xing back to the slums for the sake of profit?"
