Because of Pei Shen's words, the living room became a little quieter.
Soon, whispers began to rise.
There was an old man with gray hair sitting on the sofa and smiled kindly: "Child, how did you know?"
Having been the director of the factory for decades, as soon as he spoke, the others stopped whispering and looked at Pei Shen quietly.
Manager Liu, who had brought up the issue of Xu Zhen hitting someone, nodded at Pei Shen with a smile and said encouragingly, "Tell me what you know."
"Qi Sen moved out on his own and rented a house downstairs from me. He had a conflict with his parents in the afternoon, and when I went there, his adoptive parents had already left, so I didn't see anything."
Pei Shen said lightly.
The gray-haired old man looked surprised.
"Then how can you be sure that Xu Zhen wants to hit someone?"
Pei Shen thought of what Cancan said, and his eyes dimmed slightly: "Because I heard Cancan say something while crying."
"How can a father hit a child?" Pei Shen repeated.
The white-haired old man restrained his smile, feeling sad in his heart, and couldn't help but think of his well-behaved and lovely granddaughter.
The world of children is pure and simple. "Mom and Dad love me the most" is the nursery rhyme that my granddaughter often hums. I don’t know how sad the little girl named Cancan must have felt when she saw her father beating her.
"Don't worry, we will get to the bottom of this matter," said the old man.
**
Xu Zhen and Qi Hai lived in fear and trepidation, walking on thin ice.
He refused to answer the questions of the factory leaders one by one, and even the women's organization in the community came out and asked about Qi Sen with cold faces.
"Why does Qi Sen want to move out?"
Xu Zhen smiled and said, "The child complains about the two of us nagging him. You said that I can't control a child of his age, so I have no choice but to let him move out."
"But that's not the news we got."
..
One problem after another weighed on Xu Zhenqihai like a mountain.
The couple pretended to be friendly in front of others, but after the people left, they cursed Qi Sen and Cancan to death.
The promotion plan was completely ruined.
That night, Xu Zhen coldly called Qi Sen and got straight to the point: "The household registration booklet is with us. I remember you need that for the college entrance exam registration, right?"
The voice was sharp, with a hint of a smile.
"I know you value the college entrance exam, but if I can't get promoted and my career is ruined, your life won't be any easier. Besides, the child you're protecting seems to be an adopted child, right? Instead of handing the child over to the police to find his family, you're keeping him by your side. If I call the police, do you think they'll take the child away?"
Qi Sen's expression was originally indifferent, but when he heard that Cancan was going to be taken away, his face suddenly changed.
When Xu Zhen wanted to say something, Qi Sen abruptly hung up the phone.
Beside him, Cancan was watching "Frozen 2". While watching, he shook his head and said, "Brother, Cancan also wants to wear Princess Elsa's skirt."
Qi Sen rubbed her chubby face and said, "I'll take you out shopping tomorrow."
Cancan has been here for a few days, and she has no other clothes except the white sweater I bought her at a street stall the next day.
After Cancan fell asleep, Qi Sen sat back at the desk in the corner of the living room, looking through the photo album on his mobile phone over and over again.
After hesitating for a long time, he opened the album that he had encrypted and flipped through the photos one by one.
Qi Hai had worked at the factory for over a decade and had a network of contacts. Six months earlier, he and Xu Zhen had become addicted to gambling, spending most of their family savings on it. With nowhere else to turn, they began plotting against the factory.
In three months, he secretly exchanged fake goods for real ones for many brand-name clothes in the factory and made a lot of money outside.
Half a month ago, Qi Sen suddenly heard Qi Hai talking about this while he was drunk, and he secretly followed Qi Hai and filmed the process of the transaction with the scalper.
Qi Sen sent all these photos and some audio files cursing him to Xu Zhen and Qi Hai.
I turned off my phone and stared into the night sky in a daze.
He had never planned to take revenge on his adoptive parents before. After the college entrance examination, he left and cut off all ties with them.
All kinds of bad behaviors such as beating and scolding had long become natural in Qi Sen's mind. He never knew how to resist, but gradually evolved to not resisting anymore.
After the kick the day before yesterday, he didn't feel anything. Instead, Cancan cried in his arms and kept repeating one sentence, "Why does Dad hit his child?"
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water that made Qi Sen sober up a lot, and he thought of his stubborn appearance when he tried to resist in junior high school.
He was beaten time and time again, and glared at his adoptive parents time and time again. He had endless energy and would rather starve for a day than compromise.
In the dark night, the moonlight is surrounded by stars, like a little hope rising in the night.
Qi Sen watched quietly, and suddenly an indescribable excitement and excitement surged in his heart.
A new life begins.
**
On the first day of her new life, Cancan was awakened by her greed.
The fairy peach in my arms exudes a sweet fragrance.
Cancan swallowed.
These days, she puts peaches in her quilt every night before going to bed. Qi Sen has asked her several times why she does this.
Cancan answered confidently and seriously.
"Because Taozi also needs to sleep."
The peaches were given to Cancan by his second brother over ten years ago, and he had never been willing to eat them. He had held them in his arms for years, and as he held them, he had developed an inseparable attachment to them.
So, every day after dinner, other children would go to the park to walk their dogs, and Cancan would go too. But she would hold a fairy peach that was several times bigger than her hand, and happily stroll around with it.
The other parents were shocked.
Oh my god.
These days, even peaches need to relax and breathe in the beautiful air in the park. But looking at the amazing size of the peaches, I guess there must be some use for strolling around every day?
Cancan's unique peach aroused the curiosity of other children.
Within two days, the children in the park no longer held dogs or cats. Each cub held a pink peach in his arms.
The old man guarding the park looked at it for a long time without saying a word.
Kids nowadays know how to play.
It’s simply 666!
"Cancan, you really don't want to eat this peach?"
During breakfast, Qi Sen saw Cancan hugging Taozi tightly and asked suddenly.
"You can't eat Xiaotao, it will hurt." Cancan said seriously.
Qi Sen didn't insist any more and just asked, "Then let's go shopping today. Does Xiao Tao want to go too?"
Cancan nodded: "Of course. Xiaotao is very lonely at home."
Qi Sen: "You'll get tired if you keep holding such a big peach."
Cancan took a sip of soy milk, blinked her eyes, and asked in a baby voice, "Don't you still have me, brother?"
Qi Sen couldn't help laughing. He was treated as a tool at such a young age.
**
When I went out, I happened to meet Pei Shen who was coming down the stairs.
Pei Shen looked at the brother and sister who were in a very good mood, and knew that the issue of their adoptive parents had probably been resolved, and they would not miss this good opportunity to make Qi Sen admire him.
"What a coincidence. The other day I was tutoring someone in chemistry as usual, and guess who I ran into in that house?"
Qi Sen glanced at the complacent Pei Shen.
His shoulders were slightly hunched and his expression was arrogant.
His whole body reveals one message: Ask me who I met.
Qi Sen had a faint expression. He withdrew his gaze and took Cancan's hand and went downstairs.
Cancan asked in a very flattering manner: "Third brother, who is it?"
"It's your brother and mother's boss. They are discussing your brother and mother's promotion."
Sometimes he called her brother, sometimes she called her mother, Cancan was completely confused. When thinking about what her third brother meant, her movements slowed down unconsciously, and even her blinking rhythm became as slow as a sloth.
Her eyes were full of confusion and her expression was very serious, which made people want to pinch her cute little round face.
Pei Shen held back, raised his chin towards Qi Sen, and said proudly: "Don't thank me too much, I didn't do anything. I just spent a few words to expose your mother's conspiracy, there's really no need to thank me too much."
Qi Sen frowned, stopped and looked at him, and said lightly: "I don't plan to thank you."
In the end, it all depends on himself.
Pei Shen: ???
It's really not a human being.
Meanwhile, Cancan, blinking slowly like a sloth, thought for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer. He tapped his head blankly and consoled himself by saying, "When I grow up, I'll understand everything!"
Cancan is the best little princess!
After cheering her up, Cancan returned to her previous innocent look.
Qi Sen didn't even glance at Pei Shen and quickly left the corridor.
Cancan was led by Qi Sen, and she leaned sideways and said in a baby voice, "Third brother Cancan is going shopping. You have to stay at home and don't cause trouble for Cancan."
Pei Shen smiled with a forced smile.
Take care of yourself first, stupid kid.
Only after he could no longer see Cancan's back did Pei Shen slowly go downstairs to buy breakfast. On the way, he kept thinking about what Cancan said before she left.
Why does the way he speaks seriously in a baby voice seem a little... cute?
Pei Shen shuddered all over and immediately stopped this dangerous idea.
Being Cancan's third brother means being Qi Sen's younger brother. How could a genius like him recognize a dog as his brother!
He is still just an expressionless, inhumane dog.
**
On the subway going to the department store, Qi Sen asked Cancan to hold on to the railing and stood beside her to protect her from being squeezed by others, thinking about how to spend the money from time to time.
The phone rang.
It’s news from my deskmate.
These days, he asked his deskmate to help him find the contact information of the rich second-generation in the school. His deskmate said that his father seemed to be the cousin of Qi Xiuming, the richest man in Guhai City.
I asked for you. Lao Tan said he's close to Pei Shen, and that Pei Shen cursed you out in their WeChat group half an hour ago. Lao Tan said he could help you, and just say to Pei Shen, "I'm sorry, I really should thank you."
Qi Sen's gaze paused on the word "I'm sorry" for a few seconds, and he turned off the phone with a faint expression.
"Brother, who is talking to you?"
Qi Sen: "My brother's deskmate is the person who sits next to my brother at school."
Cancan remembered the deskmate her brother mentioned and asked excitedly, "Did he help her find her parents?"
"There's someone who won't help my brother and won't help him until he says sorry."
Cancan smiled, her dimples sweet.
“That’s so easy!”
After saying this, she clasped her hands together, nodded her head, and shook her fists, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Cancan won't dare to do it again."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Cancan will never cheat again."
After apologizing to the air, Cancan spread his hands, nodded and said seriously: "Look, how simple it is."
The action was natural, it seemed like he had said this many times before.
Qi Sen suddenly thought of an emoticon package circulating on the Internet.
Picture: Waving his hands with a very cool expression.
Caption: I'm sorry, I was wrong, but I will dare to do it again next time.
This emoticon package describes Cancan at this moment.
