"Xiao Xi, why are you here?"
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, hello."
"What's with you?"
"Well. I..." When Qin Chengxi responded, he looked through Mu Yu and timidly looked at Qin Jinhuan in the room.
Realizing that he was here to see Qin Jinhuan, Mu Yu immediately led him into the house.
Although she had a very bad impression of Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun, this did not affect her friendship with Qin Chengxi. After all, the Qin family wanted to torture her that day because of the video, and Qin Chengxi, who had always been weak, bravely stood up to help her.
Qin Chengxi moved to Qin Jinhuan with an uneasy look on his face and called out "big brother" weakly.
"What's the matter?" Qin Jinhuan's tone was as cold as his expression.
"Ah Huan..." Mu Yu winked at him, indicating that he should be gentler to Qin Chengxi.
Qin Jinhuan ignored her look, snorted softly, and turned his face away.
Knowing that he had deep resentment towards Qin Wentao and his wife, and that he hated Qin Chengxi as much as possible, Mu Yu could understand. She also guessed that Qin Chengxi would not come to Qin Jinhuan for no reason. She did not want to get involved in their family affairs, so she did not say anything more. He just reluctantly spread his hands to Qin Chengxi, expressing that he could not help.
Qin Chengxi, who usually had a bloodless face, now received a cold reception, and his face became even paler. There was no trace of blood on his lips, and there was sweat oozing from his forehead. His hands were helplessly twisted together, and he opened his mouth tremblingly several times, and his voice But it kept spinning in his throat, unable to spit out even a single word.
Qin Jinhuan turned a blind eye to his extreme uneasiness, crossed his legs, took out his mobile phone, and browsed the news on the web as if nothing had happened.
The temperature around Qin Chengxi seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees, causing him to uncontrollably tremble all over his body. The knuckles of his twisted fingers began to turn white, but his wandering eyes never dared to fall on Qin Jinhuan.
Sensing his fear, Mu Yu couldn't bear it and pointed to the small sofa opposite Qin Jinhuan, trying to break the deadlock between the brothers: "Xiao Xi, if you have anything to say, sit down and tell me. I'll pour you some tea."
"Sister-in-law!" Qin Chengxi shouted urgently. Seeing her pause, he begged in a low voice, "Don't leave, okay?"
While speaking, his eyes quickly glanced at Qin Jinhuan and then immediately looked back, his eyes full of awe.
Mu Yu glanced at Qin Jinhuan with a cold face, thought for a moment, turned around and sat down next to Qin Jinhuan, secretly pushed Qin Jinhuan, and asked with a smile: "How did you know that your brother and I are here?"
"Yes, my dad and mommy told me."
"Did they ask you to come find us?"
"Yeah." Qin Chengxi curled his neck and nodded, quietly wiping his sweat.
"I wonder what they want from your brother?"
"They, they, want to apologize to brother and ask for forgiveness." It was probably Mu Yu's smile that gave him the courage. When he spoke again, although there was still timidity in his tone, he was able to fully express his meaning.
Qin Jinhuan glanced at him coldly, just like he glanced at Qin Wentao and his wife: "Since they are apologizing, why don't they come by themselves? What's the point of asking you to come?"
"They, they were afraid... afraid that you would not forgive, so they sent me..."
"If you plead for them, I will forgive you?"
"No, I... I..." Qin Chengxi, who had been robbed, hesitated for several seconds and still didn't know how to answer. He had to bite his lips and ask Mu Yu for help with tears in his eyes.
Mu Yu sympathized with him very much and immediately spoke out in support: "Ah Huan, don't embarrass Xiao Xi, this matter has nothing to do with him. His parents must have forced him to come here!"
"No! They didn't force me to come! I asked for it!"
"Oh?" Mu Yu expressed confusion, "This matter has nothing to do with you, why do you want to wade into this muddy water?"
"Because they are my daddy and mommy! And you -" he then turned to Qin Jinhuan, "you are my eldest brother!"
"whispering sound."
Qin Jinhuan's disdainful cold eyes suddenly weakened his voice by a few decibels, but he still mustered up the courage to say the following words, "We are a family, and I hope our family will not be torn apart. This time my daddy and mommy did not What should be done, I am willing to atone for their sins, as long as the elder brother forgives them... "
Qin Jinhuan sat up suddenly and snorted: "This is not the only thing they did wrong? Even risking your life is not enough to atone for their sins."
"Ah Huan!"
"Brother!" Qin Chengxi suddenly knelt down and begged in a choked voice, "If my life can be exchanged for your forgiveness of my father and mother, and the family can live in harmony from now on, I am willing..."
"Xiao Xi! Stop talking nonsense!" Mu Yu quickly interrupted him and helped him up.
"Sister-in-law! Let me finish!" Qin Chengxi cried and shook off her hand, turning to Qin Jinhuan again, "Brother, I don't know what happened twenty years ago, but I know what happens now. My dad The reason Mommy Di is deliberately trying to get the family property from grandpa is because I am incompetent. If I had one percent of my brother's ability to let them live the life they want, they would definitely not be so greedy for Qingtian. . But my qualifications are too mediocre. No matter how hard I try, I can't give them the glory they want. I am destined to become a burden to them. Once they leave the Qin family, they will be impoverished and humiliated - this is the last thing I want to see! Therefore, if my death can earn my brother’s forgiveness and allow them to return to the Qin family and not suffer the hardship, I will be willing to do so! Brother, please do it!”
After that, he cried profusely and fell on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Mu Yu never expected that he, who had always been weak, would come to Qin Jinhuan and say such a thing. She, who was already soft-hearted, burst into tears. She supported him and tried to persuade him with choked sobs: "Why are you doing this? Okay?" Come on, stop crying, get up and talk first."
Qin Chengxi pushed her hand away again and cried to Qin Jinhuan: "Brother, don't worry, if I die, as long as you can make my father and mother have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives, they will never compete with you for the family property." ! They will..."
"Xiao Xi! Don't be stupid!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm not stupid. This is my true thought. I..."
"Do you want your brother to have the reputation of driving his own brother to death?!"
"No, it's not!" Qin Chengxi seemed to realize the extreme nature of his behavior. He didn't bother to wipe his tears and climbed up to Qin Jinhuan to explain, "Brother, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to..."
"You are your father and mother's only and most beloved darling!" Mu Yu took a step forward and continued to scold rudely, "If you really choose to commit suicide in order to atone for their sins, even if Ah Huan can accept them, They will never stay in the Qin family for the rest of their lives, and they will definitely try their best to deal with Ah Huan even harder! "
"No, no, no, no, they won't avenge me," Qin Chengxi, who had a pale face, waved his hands repeatedly, "They will only..."
"You said it yourself before. They plotted the Qin family's property regardless of family ties, all for you and your future. If you die, they will lose their only spiritual support, and they will blame all their resentment on Ah Huan! In other words, your death will not bring peace to the Qin family, but will intensify conflicts and make the Qin family even more uneasy!"
"No, it's not! It won't be like this! Brother, listen to me, I..." Qin Chengxi, who was already stupid, couldn't find anything more convincing to say, so he could only cry on the ground.
"Xiao Xi! Stop crying!"
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Mu Yu had no choice but to look at Qin Jinhuan for help.
She knew that Qin Chengxi was doing this just to wait for Qin Jinhuan to forgive his parents.
Qin Jinhuan still looked indifferent, as if the boy kneeling in front of him crying had nothing to do with him.
"What's going on?" Wen Zeyu, who came in with takeout, was startled by the scene in front of him. He looked around, and finally looked at Mu Yu with doubtful eyes.
Mu Yu sighed and simply told Wen Zeyu what Qin Chengxi meant.
"It's just nonsense! Is it fun to commit suicide?"
Wen Zeyu put the takeout bag on the coffee table, then forcibly pulled Qin Chengxi up, sat down next to Qin Jinhuan, and interceded for him, "Huan, for the sake of Xiaoxi and grandpa, please forgive Qin Wentao for doing this. Come back. Anyway, he only asked for a salary and not to be kicked out of the Qin family, and he didn’t ask for anything else. Our family is not short of this money. "
"That's right," Mu Yu immediately echoed, "Even if you don't admit it, everyone in Ancheng knows that he is your biological father. If he is bullied outside, he will hit you in the face! It will be your people who are embarrassed. ! You have to... Hey, Ah Huan! Where are you going?"
"Go out and do some errands." Qin Jinhuan suddenly stood up and walked out without looking at Qin Chengxi.
"Brother..." Qin Chengxi stood up with tears on his face and looked at his back timidly, with weak hope in his eyes. Seeing that he had not stopped, the light in his eyes lit up little by little. The point becomes dim.
When he reached the door, Qin Jinhuan suddenly paused and said to Mu Yu, "You two ate the takeout," and then looked at Wen Zeyu and scolded: "Why don't you go drive?"
"Ah? Oh, I'll go right away." Wen Zeyu smiled at Mu Yu and immediately ran out of the house ahead of Qin Jinhuan.
Mu Yu understood, and after Qin Jinhuan also went out, he happily pulled Qin Chengxi to sit down, then placed the takeaways in front of him one by one and invited him to eat.
"Thank you sister-in-law, I'm not hungry."
"These takeaways are your big brother's heart. If you let him down, be careful that he regrets it." Mu Yu thrust a burger into his hand.
Although she was only one year older than him, he was still a boy, but because he was too thin and thin, and had a shy and timid personality, she could not help but treat him as a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little sister.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean - brother has forgiven my father and mother?!" Qin Chengxi's eyes widened.
Mu Yu smiled and nodded: "Otherwise, he wouldn't let you eat his takeout. Seeing that you are so weak when you talk, you must have neither eaten nor slept well in the past two days, right?"
Qin Chengxi pursed his lips and nodded: "I know that my dad and mommy have been planning to do something to my eldest brother and grandpa these two days, but I can't stop them. Originally, they should be punished if they make mistakes, but after all, they are me Dear Daddy and Mommy, I relented as soon as they begged me.”
"Did they ask you to die in exchange for your brother's forgiveness?"
"No, no, this is my own idea. My eldest brother has never been close to me. I don't know how else to help them get his forgiveness."
Mu Yu sighed: "Your idea is too simple. If your eldest brother really drives you to death, it would be strange if your father and mother didn't come to him to fight for him."
Qin Chengxi was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "As long as I am willing to forgive them, they will not come to fight for my death. You all think that they treat me as a treasure, but you know that they have always only seen me as a treasure. they themselves."
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Mu Yu was very surprised by these words.
She had seen Dong Yueyun's fierceness towards Qin Chengxi, but she thought that this fierceness was the same as her mother's cruelty towards her - it was completely fierce on the surface, but in fact she loved him very closely.
Qin Chengxi's eyes that had dried up with tears instantly became sparkling again, with a look of sadness and helplessness on his face: "In fact, sometimes death is a kind of relief, and living is painful."
"What else is painful for you now?" Mu Yu was worried about his expression and blurted out, "Tell me about it, maybe I can help you."
Qin Chengxi seemed a little unbelievable: "Will you help me?"
"Of course!" Thinking of his limited ability, Mu Yu quickly added, "I can also call you big brother to help you! Really!"
Qin Chengxi stared at her for a few seconds. When he saw her serious face, his eyes suddenly glowed. He straightened up suddenly and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you a big secret. In fact, I..."
However, his words were interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone the next second.
