Pei Qing obviously didn’t expect to see Pei Jingrong at this time, and he subconsciously called out, “Dad?”
Pei Jingrong’s eyes first fell on Zhan Weiyang’s face beside him and then looked at their hands that were still clasped together.
The elevator door opened and was about to close. Pei Jingrong quickly stretched out his hand to open the door and walked out. He stood in front of the two people with his tall body and asked, “Why is Yangyang here? Where are you going so early in the morning?”
Zhan Weiyang stared at him blankly and didn’t even remember what to say.
Pei Qing, on the other hand, asked, “Why are you here?”
Pei Jingrong looked unhappy and said in a low voice, “I came to see you.” Seeing that Pei Qing was still looking at him, he added, “I arrived last night. I had a meeting this morning, and I came here specially while it was still early.”
Some time ago, Zhan Yingfei contacted Pei Qing to ask for his current address, and Pei Qing knew to tell Zhan Yingfei. Zhan Yingfei said that she would come to see Pei Qing when she was free the next time, but unexpectedly, Pei Jingrong came first.
Pei Jingrong asked again, “Where are you going so early?”
Pei Qing said, “I’m taking Yangyang home.”
Pei Jingrong looked at their hands, “Did Yangyang sleep here last night?”
Pei Qing replied, “Yes.”
Pei Jingrong was much more sensitive than Zhan Pengcheng, and he had always had some thoughts about the fact that Pei Qing was popular with girls but had never been in a relationship until he graduated from college. He was somewhat suspicious at this time. Regardless of whether Zhan Weiyang intelligence was normal or not, he was a beautiful boy of 17 or 18 years old after all. Pei Qing holding hands with him outside was inappropriate in Pei Jingrong’s opinion.
He then asked Zhan Weiyang, “Does Yangyang often stay overnight here?”
Although Pei Jingrong’s tone was gentle, Zhan Weiyang always felt that something was not quite right, and instead of answering, he looked to Pei Qing for help.
Pei Qing said to Pei Jingrong, “You can ask me anything you want to ask; don’t test Yangyang.”
Pei Jingrong’s face darkened when he heard his words, “What do you mean by testing? What do you think I am testing?”
Zhan Weiyang held Pei Qing’s hand tightly with some fear.
Pei Qing said, “Dad, don’t be angry, you scared Yangyang.”
Pei Jingrong took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
Pei Qing said, “I will send Yangyang back now. Do you want to go with us?”
Pei Jingrong said, “I have a meeting later.”
Pei Qing reached out and pressed the elevator, “Then, after you finish the meeting, if you are still interested, you can contact me.”
The elevator door opened again, and Pei Qing took Zhan Weiyang’s hand and went in.
Zhan Weiyang carefully hid behind Pei Qing, looking at Pei Jingrong over Pei Qing’s shoulder.
Pei Jingrong also came into the elevator. As the elevator descended, he said, “Pei Qing, you are already an adult. You know what’s going on with Zhan Weiyang.”
At this time, Zhan Weiyang couldn’t help but whisper, “I am also an adult.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Jingrong looked at him. He felt that Pei Jingrong was particularly fierce. He was a little scared but insisted, “I am not an idiot either.”
Pei Qing suddenly turned his head to look at Zhan Weiyang. He raised his hand to hug Zhan Weiyang, patted him on the back, and said, “Of course you are not.”
When the elevator door opened, Pei Jingrong walked out. He turned around and said to Pei Qing, “I will come to see you in the afternoon.”
Pei Qing nodded calmly.
They arrived at the Zhan family quite early. Zhan Pengcheng had just gotten up and didn’t want to wake up Zhan Weiyang. He went downstairs alone to eat breakfast and then arranged the flowers and plants on the balcony on the second floor.
When Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang returned, Zhan Pengcheng saw them from a distance. He was stunned at first, but when he realised that the person was Zhan Weiyang, he could not suppress his anger.
When Pei Qing rang the doorbell, Auntie Luo came out of the kitchen in a hurry to open the door, but Zhan Pengcheng had already run down from the second floor.
He opened the door and punched Pei Qing in the face.
“Oh my!” Auntie Luo, who was following Zhan Pengcheng, screamed in fear and raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Zhan Weiyang also pulled Pei Qing away in panic and stood in front of him, shouting, “Dad is crazy!”
Zhan Pengcheng said angrily, “Dad is not crazy! It’s this bastard boy that I’m beating that’s crazy!”
Pei Qing’s cheek soon became red and swollen. He opened his mouth, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he also spit out a bloody tooth.
Zhan Pengcheng’s punch was merciless and directly knocked out one of Pei Qing’s teeth.
“When did you take Yangyang out?” Zhan Pengcheng asked angrily.
Pei Qing opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Zhan Weiyang said loudly, “I ran away secretly! I ran away alone!”
At this time, Grandma was startled, and she walked out tremblingly from inside, holding the wall, looking around and asked, “What’s the matter?” After asking, she saw the blood at the corner of Pei Qing’s mouth and the teeth on the ground, and said in panic, “What’s wrong with xiao Qing?”
Pei Qing comforted her in an unclear voice, “It’s okay, grandma.”
Zhan Weiyang squatted down, picked up Pei Qing’s bloody teeth on the ground with his hands, and stood up sadly to look at Pei Qing.
Pei Qing touched his head and said, “It’s nothing, don’t be afraid.”
Zhan Pengcheng’s anger finally subsided a little at this time. He also looked at the tooth in Zhan Weiyang’s hand, then Pei Qing’s red and swollen face, and said, “Let’s go to the hospital first.”
Pei Qing said, “It doesn’t matter. It’s already fallen out anyway. There’s no rush.”
Zhan Pengcheng stretched out his hand to Zhan Weiyang, “Yangyang, come back.”
Zhan Weiyang stepped back and stood behind Pei Qing, lowering his eyes and not looking at Zhan Pengcheng.
Pei Qing asked Zhan Pengcheng, “Can we talk, Uncle?”
Zhan Pengcheng didn’t answer. He was looking at Pei Qing, but his eyes suddenly looked over Pei Qing’s shoulder and into the distance.
Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang turned their heads at the same time and saw Pei Jingrong, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, walking towards them.
No one knew why Pei Jingrong, who should have been in a meeting, suddenly appeared here.
Zhan Weiyang felt even more nervous and looked up at Pei Qing. Pei Qing leaned close to his ear and whispered, “Don’t be afraid; gege is here.”
Zhan Weiguang was awakened by the noise downstairs early in the morning. He pulled the quilt over his head and didn’t want to get up, but he heard Zhan Weiyang shouting. He couldn’t help but get out of bed. He first leaned over to the window and took a look. He didn’t see anyone, so he changed his clothes and went down from the third floor.
When he walked to the first floor, he saw that the sofa in the living room was full of people. In addition to Zhan Pengcheng and Grandma, Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang were also there, and there was a tall man. Zhan Weiguang saw the back at first and couldn’t recognise who it was until he walked to the side and found that it was Pei Jingrong.
When did Pei Jingrong come?
Zhan Weiguang was startled and subconsciously looked at Pei Qing and Zhan Weiyang.
The atmosphere in the living room was very solemn. No one spoke. Zhan Weiguang came down late and didn’t know what they had talked before.
At this time, Pei Jingrong stood up, walked to Pei Qing, and asked, “Is what your uncle said just now true?”
Pei Qing looked up at him, “It’s true.”
Pei Jingrong saw his red and swollen cheek and asked, “Did your uncle hit you?”
Pei Qing nodded.
Hearing this, Pei Jingrong suddenly raised his fist and hit Pei Qing hard on the other cheek, then said, “That was an excellent punch!”
