Chapter 216 After the New Year, Send Them to Jail
Gu Nan smiled, his brows relaxed and his eyes wide open, which could be described as gentle, but in Pei Xing's eyes it was extremely humiliating, as if he was just a clown for people's entertainment.
He wiped his tears vigorously, took two steps forward, raised his stubborn and embarrassed face, and shouted: "I'm not here to be laughed at, and I don't mean anything else. How can you do this!"
He spoke with confidence and passion, as if it was justice sent from heaven that gave him such confidence.
Gu Nan was stunned.
If you say he is stupid, he knows to go to Cui's house to maintain the relationship, standing in the snow pretending to be innocent and fresh; if you say he is smart, he can't say a word from his dog's mouth, and he is also very good at playing double standards.
How could he be so greedy, wanting to take advantage of everything?
Gu Nan smiled, his expression mocking, "Don't think I don't know what you're doing. Just try to fool me, but don't fool yourself."
"Listen to me, stop acting, it's ugly."
"You, you've gone too far." Pei Xing was so angry that tears were falling down, but her eyes and nose were red. She looked like a stubborn little white flower who had suffered humiliation but still insisted on holding on and would never bow her head.
Even though she was crying, she still stood in the middle of the yard and refused to move, as if she wanted to emulate the ancient monk Cheng Men Li Xue and move the people in the house with her perseverance.
Gu Nan sighed to the sky.
If a person has no shame, he will be invincible.
If it were Qi Yan, he would have disappeared before he could finish his sentence. Even if his legs were broken, he would have crawled out of the Cui family's yard.
Pei Xing is the real shameless one.
The premise of communication is that both parties are human beings. No matter how much you talk to a dog, it cannot change the fact that it can only bite people randomly.
Gu Nan casually brushed off the snow on his body and said indifferently: "Let him stand. If he is tired, go down and eat kiwi fruit."
"I'll cut it for you." Qi Yan threw the two snowballs he had made, causing Pei Xing to cry again.
He glanced at her coldly, then followed Gu Nan off the balcony, closed the doors and windows, and drew the curtains tight.
The two went downstairs. Everyone was sitting neatly in the hall, but there was no conversation. Only the reporters on TV were conducting New Year interviews in the wind and snow. The New Year atmosphere, which should have been lively and festive, seemed a little awkward in the silence that everyone knew.
"Next, let's insert a piece of social news."
"On Friday, January 26, the first day of the Lunar New Year, at 8 a.m., Danyang District police received a report of the discovery of a headless male corpse in the alley at No. 35, XX Street."
"According to preliminary investigations, the victim died between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on the 26th. He was a homeless person. Police have opened a case for investigation. If you encounter any suspicious persons, please contact the police immediately. We urge everyone to pay attention to travel safety and do not stay outside after dark. During the Spring Festival, please go home early."
There was a mosaic photo in the lower right corner of the news. It was black and red, and nothing could be seen clearly. One could only roughly make out that there should be a lot of bloodstains at the scene.
This was big news, and interesting news at that. The stagnant air in the living room finally began to flow.
Cui Weiwei: "Oh my, it's Chinese New Year, and it's so scary."
Cui Ce pushed his glasses up on his nose and said calmly, "With such a big commotion, it's probably a vendetta."
Cui Shuangshuang: "It's hard to say. There are all kinds of people over there. Maybe they just disagreed with a word and killed someone because they couldn't figure it out."
She had worked at the grassroots level before, and the environment in Danyang District was worthy of its title of slum. No matter how good a person was, he would be tainted by the gloom once he entered.
Cui Ce: "It's most likely a premeditated revenge killing. Killings of passion generally don't involve beheading."
Decapitation is difficult and psychologically demanding, so most people won't take that risk.
The old lady kept staring at the photo in the lower right corner, her face ashen.
Others may not remember it, but she knows it clearly: No. 35, xx Street, is where Qi Yan and Gu Nan live.
She simply couldn't imagine that if she hadn't recognized Qi Yan, if it weren't for Gu Nan, he might have been the one to die when Qi Yan went to pick up bottles in the middle of the night.
The old lady was filled with fear and anger.
It’s all the damn Qi family’s fault!
Qi Yan happened to come out with some sliced kiwi fruit. She said coldly, "Yesterday, Pei Xing took his biological parents to the Pei family to celebrate the New Year."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone subconsciously fell silent and looked at the old lady and Qi Yan.
Even Xue Mingqian and Xue Qingyi, who had just arrived, raised their heads.
Is it so outrageous?
Um, wait, is this something they can listen to?
Xue Mingqian stood up and said goodbye to the old lady.
Xue Qingyi and the others stood up following their brother before they even had time to sit down.
The old lady's expression eased a little, she said a few polite words, and asked Cui Yue to send the person out.
Cui Yue saw the four people to the door and said goodbye to each other.
When Xue Mingqian and others left, they naturally saw Pei Xing standing in the middle of the yard, but they ignored him and walked past him.
Pei Xing opened his mouth, as if he wanted to call out for help, but seeing their distant expressions as if they were strangers, he felt a pang in his heart and was unable to call out.
Cui Yue didn't even want to bother with Pei Xing and was about to close the door.
Pei Xing took two steps forward upon seeing this, and called out nervously, "Brother..."
Cui Yue glanced at it indifferently, his sharp eagle eyes showing no fluctuation, and he closed the door without any hesitation.
The door slammed shut before my eyes.
Pei Xing stood there in a daze, his heart aching, and tears flowed without warning.
If his most admired and most responsible elder brother is so indifferent to him, how much better can others be?
Just because he is not a member of the Cui family, does the 19-year friendship disappear?
Cui Yue returned to sit next to Qin Nian, and in front of everyone, he rarely showed some sadness and emotion.
He gently touched Qin Nian's bulging belly and said as if promising: "I won't go back to the army after the New Year. I will accompany you until you give birth to the baby."
With him guarding by their side, no one can possibly take advantage of Qin Nian and the child.
Qin Nian raised her hand and placed it on the back of his hand, saying softly, "Okay."
Everyone else looked solemn. The Cui family was such a big family, but they actually let Qi Feng and his wife swap their child and tortured and abused him for so many years. It was indeed a painful lesson.
Qi Yan sat next to Gu Nan, with his eyes lowered, holding a plate and feeding Gu Nan kiwi fruit, as calm as if he was not the protagonist of the tragedy.
Gu Nan took two bites and stopped eating, and Qi Yan chased him to feed him, but he refused to eat.
The atmosphere was so serious, the old lady obviously had something to say. How could it be so inappropriate for us to kiss each other? Qi Yan had no shame, but she did.
She glared at him.
Qi Yan smiled. If not everyone was watching, he would definitely go over and kiss her, and taste the kiwi in her mouth to see if it was sweeter than eating it directly.
He put down his plate and finished it properly like the others.
The old lady suppressed her anger and said solemnly, "Pei Xing and his parents celebrated the first day, so I will celebrate the fifteenth."
"After the New Year, we'll sue them in court and send them both to jail!"
