"No, that old guy Pei Zhicheng has always been pretending to be a grandson. In order to gain control of the Pei family, he brought his opponents into the inner circle. If you go back, Pei Zhiting will still have to take care of you." Li Chenyi disagreed, "This is the safest place."

Song Xijiao cried, "Are you guys taking turns to make fun of me?"

Li Chenyi held her shoulders and said, "Don't cry, be obedient, I won't touch you, just be good, and when this is over, I will take you home."

Song Xijiao staggered to the bathroom and locked the door.

"Jiaojiao, be obedient." Li Chenyi comforted patiently.

Song Xijiao couldn't hear anything and kept yelling in the bathroom.

"Isn't my life ridiculous? I've been schemed against, abandoned, and used by everyone. I thought I could become whoever I wanted to be with my own abilities, but it's all a joke."

"I am just a pawn, a tool for you people. I hate you so much. I hate you so much. Why do you treat me like this? Why?"

"Jiaojiao, don't get excited." Li Chenyi shouted outside the bathroom door.

Song Xijiao spat out a mouthful of blood.

…

Gu Xingchen got Li Chenyi's permission before he began to examine her. "Do you love her, or do you want her to die?"

"The medicine you gave her back then was a defective product that hadn't been put into clinical trials. The side effects are unknown, and getting too emotional could cause problems."

Li Chenyi sat on the edge of the bed with his back to Gu Xingchen. He put one hand into the quilt and interlocked his fingers with hers, and with the other hand he held a warm towel and slowly wiped her forehead which was sweating from excitement.

He blamed himself and felt guilty but could do nothing about it, with a tear falling from the corner of his eye.

"I know, but I can't do anything about it. She's been tortured by nightmares and can't sleep. She's screaming and twitching..."

"Lying in bed motionless, eating and vomiting, vomiting and eating..."

"She stood in the middle of the street, on the rooftop, she wanted to die..."

Gu Xingchen sensed his sadness and shook his head, "So you came back and exchanged your life for that pill."

Li Chenyi's voice was hoarse. "If she hadn't come to me that night, she wouldn't have been bullied."

Gu Xingchen thought that after so many years, he should let himself go.

"That person became a drug experiment, developed many medicines, and saved many people."

Li Chenzhen lowered his eyes, and tears burst out like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time.

"What's the point? I've saved so many people, but she's not one of them."

"I spent twenty years trying to make amends. In her eyes, I was just a stranger who took advantage of her situation."

Gu Xingchen gave him a look and said, "You are more affectionate than I thought."

"What do you like about her?"

Li Chenyi raised his head slightly, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"After meeting her, I felt a desire for life for the first time. For the first time, I felt like, love, hate, and desire..."

"She is so dazzling, so dazzling that I can't ignore her. She is like a star in the sky, and I am the mud on the ground. How can a star be attracted by mud on the ground?"

"It must have been because the sun was so bright that day."

An hour later.

Song Xijiao woke up from her coma, her hands still handcuffed by Li Chenyin. She pulled but couldn't get them free. Forget it. Her weak body couldn't handle either extreme sorrow or joy, otherwise she would have palpitations.

The icy mist in Li Chen's eyes suddenly melted away. "Don't get excited. I can tell you anything you want to know."

Pei Zhiting's clothes are mostly black, white and gray suits.

Li Chenyi's clothes are mostly colorful, including ties, tie clips and cufflinks.

He no longer tried to imitate Pei Zhiting, and dressed in his usual style, with short hair and a fierce aura, but the shadow of that man still remained between his eyebrows.

"Doudou will be scared if she can't see her mother." Song Xijiao felt a pang of pain in her heart when she thought of her daughter.

After hearing this, Li Chenyi subconsciously touched his hair, his throat choked, and mist filled his eyes.

"You'll be able to see her tomorrow."

He and Pei Zhiting had agreed that they would never let the mother and daughter come to any harm.

Xiting Building.

Pei Zhicheng looked up from the car and saw the building standing majestically. He was the eldest son and the future owner of the building, and everyone had to crawl at his feet.

"If it ran away, isn't there still a little one? This one can't run away, right?"

"That's not good."

Pei Zhicheng stepped on the accelerator hard, his eyes full of hatred.

"In this business world, bullying the weak is our principle?"

The car sped along, leaving the pursuer behind, but after a while, another black car caught up.

"Mr. Huang, this..."

"What are you afraid of? Let them kill each other. We'll just take advantage of the situation. If anything goes wrong, we can just blame it on him."

"Mr. Huang, this... this is not good, right?"

This will cause disaster for thousands of years.

"Don't waste time, hurry up."

Pei family study.

"Yongzi" is made by melting jade and agate into liquid at a high temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius. Then a drop of liquid jade or liquid agate is added into it, and it is shaped with a special mold and finally demolded. After going through many processes, it can be made into a finished product.

This craft has long been lost.

The only painting of Yongzi is already in the museum.

The painting in Pei Zhonghuan's hand was made by Pei Zhiting after he visited many masters, paid a large sum of money to ask them for guidance, and went through untold hardships to create it.

It was a birthday gift from Pei Zhiting to Pei Zhonghuan for his 80th birthday.

The father and son often discussed philosophy over chess, tea, jade, and the heart.
