Yu Qiao felt a buzzing in her head, her thoughts freezing instantly. She stared blankly at Cheng Su, her ears seemingly ringing. She watched his lips move, but couldn't hear a sound.
His long, slender, pale fingers suddenly tightened, and his heart ached as if it had been pierced by a needle.
Cutting his wrists...jumping off a building? Overdosing on pills to commit suicide? Yu Qiao suddenly looked at Pei Jin again. This kind of person, a boxer in the chaotic underground boxing ring, he was fierce and ruthless. He not only cut his wrists, but also...attempted to jump off a building and overdose on pills to end his life?!
Yu Qiao blinked blankly, her mind reeling from the rush of blood, buzzing in her head.
Last time, she accidentally saw the scar on the inside of Pei Jin's wrist and thought of his suicide attempt, but she never expected that Pei Jin had attempted suicide more than once.
"Hehe..." Cheng Su looked at Yu Qiao's shocked expression, sneered, raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with the pad of his thumb. His lean back was slightly hunched, and his hostile gaze was almost piercing Pei Jin.
“Pei Jin, she found out. You’re a madman, just like your father who died young…”
"Say that again!" Pei Jin's dark and gloomy eyes were sinister and fanatical, like a mad beast. He gripped Cheng Su's neck tightly with one hand, his eyes revealing a chilling intent, as if he wanted to tear the man apart.
"If it weren't for your father forcing my mother, do you think you would even exist? You're a bastard, unworthy of being in this world! It's you, not me!"
Enraged to the point of losing his mind, Cheng Su roared at Pei Jin, a crazed, sinister crimson glint appearing in the corner of his eye as he raised his chin and sneered.
Pei Jin exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine. These things could not affect him. Even when Cheng Su deliberately provoked him, he remained unmoved.
However, he still couldn't help trembling.
Standing behind Pei Jin was Yu Qiao. His blood seemed to freeze. He couldn't imagine what she was thinking.
Will she believe Cheng Su?
"Enough!" From afar came Yu Lingze's imposing and authoritative voice.
Yu Qiao saw Yu Lingze, who strode over with a gloomy face, surrounded by a group of bodyguards.
She opened her mouth, but found herself unable to speak, as if she had lost her voice.
He could only watch helplessly as Yu Lingze walked up to Pei Jin and stared at Cheng Su with a disdainful look: "Pei Jin's parents had him under the permission of a legitimate marital relationship, but you? Xia Weiyao didn't divorce Pei Jin's father when she gave birth to you!"
"Shut up! Shut up! That's not how it is!" Cheng Su gritted his teeth and roared angrily, his exquisitely beautiful face distorted and broken beneath his hazy blue hair: "It was all Pei Xianxun who forced her!!"
"No...don't say it anymore." Pei Jin looked at Yu Qiao, whose face was pale and gloomy. His tall body swayed as if he would fall to the ground at any moment: "Yu Lingze, she is not my mother, don't, don't mention it again..."
Yu Ling pressed down on Pei Jin's shoulder with one hand, his long eyebrows furrowing slightly: "If I had known that Cheng Su was that illegitimate child, I wouldn't have let you fight for him in the boxing match."
illegitimate child?
Cheng Su was stunned for a moment, then roared wildly, "I'm not an illegitimate child, Pei Jin is the bastard!"
With a "smack," Yu Qiao slapped Cheng Su hard across the face.
Cheng Su's fierce, predatory gaze fell upon Yu Qiao.
Yu Qiao was afraid of Cheng Su. Cheng Su always had a suffocating dark aura about him, as if he had the terrifying power to destroy everything. She had never met such a gloomy and cold person.
Staring intently at Cheng Su with a murderous gaze, Yu Qiao felt a chill run down her spine. She clenched her fingers and forced a fierce look onto her small face: "My brother said that Pei Jin's parents had him while they were married, so he's not an illegitimate child!"
"..." Cheng Su bit the soft flesh inside his lip, seemingly unable to feel the pain, until his skin and flesh tore open and blood filled his mouth.
This fact cannot be changed!
However, Cheng Baiwan said that Xia Weiyao only married Pei Xianxun under duress.
If Pei Xianxun hadn't pressured his mother, how could he have been a despised illegitimate child?
The air suddenly became still.
Yu Ling frowned, looking at Cheng Su, whose face was ashen and who was struggling to breathe. He then saw Pei Jin pinching Cheng Su's hand, the veins bulging, and a thin layer of sweat covering his wheat-colored skin.
If they keep pinching, they might break Cheng Su's neck.
"Pei Jin, let go."
Yu Lingze glanced at the bodyguard behind him and said, "Drag him to the hospital."
"Yes!" the bodyguards replied in unison.
They all stepped forward, but Pei Jin remained unmoved. His resolute and handsome face was obscure, and he instead gripped Cheng Su even tighter.
"Ugh..." Cheng Su groaned in pain.
“Pei Jin…” Yu Qiao’s heart tightened, and she subconsciously stepped forward to grasp Pei Jin’s wrist, her eyes filled with worry.
Pei Jin's body suddenly stiffened. His cold wrist touched soft, warm skin, and a strange fragrance wafted to his nose—it was the scent of Yu Qiao.
If Pei Jin had just felt as if he were in a freezing hell, he now felt the iceberg in his heart melting away little by little.
His gaze fell on the handprint on Cheng Su's face.
She's small in stature, but she can be quite ruthless when she hits someone...
Pei Jin suddenly let go.
The bodyguards were very professional; they immediately covered Cheng Su's mouth, and the three of them carried him away on their shoulders.
Pei Jin pursed his lips slightly, his gaze dull and cold as frost, and lightly swept over Yu Qiao's tense and flustered face before he quickly left, almost fleeing in panic.
"Pei Jin!"
Just as Yu Qiao was about to chase after him, a large hand grabbed her wrist.
"Ah Qiao".
Yu Qiao felt a chill run down her spine. Facing Yu Lingze's sinister gaze, her voice became weak: "Brother..."
“You and Pei Jin…” Yu Lingze frowned, his serious gaze scrutinizing Yu Qiao.
Yu Qiao's heart skipped a beat. Had her brother found out?
They discovered she had ulterior motives towards Pei Jin!
Yu Lingze's tense expression relaxed, and he patted Yu Qiao's slender shoulder with his large hand: "Qiao, you've really grown up. You even know how to stand up for your brother's friend."
"She truly is my sister; she's always ready to help others and has a kind heart."
"Hehe..." Yu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, her tense nerves relaxing. She had no idea why her love-idiot, naive brother had suddenly become so perceptive. It turned out to be a false alarm. She stiffly pulled at her lips: "It's all, it's all as it should be."
Yu Lingze glanced solemnly in the direction Pei Jin had left, and sighed.
"Brother, what exactly is going on between Pei Jin and Cheng Su?"
