Qiao's old house is usually relatively deserted.After Mr. Qiao delegated power, he was quiet. He has been in poor health for the past two years. He often went to an island in the middle of the lake under the Qiao family to recuperate.Occasionally, when I miss a junior, I call him with just one phone call.Therefore, without the old owner, the old house naturally has no popularity.

But today is different, Qiao Chen's coming-of-age ceremony, the old man attaches great importance to this future great artist, so naturally he wants to come back to celebrate in person.Not only that, but he also invited many old friends to join him.It can be said that it gave Qiao Chen enough face.

Qiao Yan arrived at about seven o'clock. He took a taxi and stopped at the gate of the old villa area.

"We can't enter this area without the owner saying hello to the guard in advance." The driver and Qiao Yan said.

"It's okay, just stop here." Qiao Yan also understood, and simply got out of the car.

He walked to the side of the road, hesitated for a while and chose to stand by the entrance.

The people living here are either rich or expensive, and Qiao Yan is extremely rare. Almost every passing car, the people in the car will look at Qiao Yan.After seeing his appearance clearly, I thought he was a love interest from some careless junior, and the breakup was not smooth, so I came here again to ask for an explanation.

If it were in the past, these eyes would be something Joe would hate to avoid.But now, Qiao Yan didn't care about it at all.He kept looking at the time on his phone, feeling as if his heart was being cooked with oil.

The cemetery told Qiao Yan that at most he would wait until eight o'clock in the evening. If Qiao Yan hadn't figured out a way by then, or produced the proof of mother-child relationship with his mother, they could only teach the urn to him in accordance with the regulations. driver.

If it really fell into Qiao Chen's hands, then the result...

Eldest brother must be found, only elder brother can stop Qiao Chen.

Qiao Yan's heart clenched tightly, and extreme fear enveloped him, making him even breathe with a bone-chilling chill.

There are many cars coming in and out, and the time is passing by little by little with the traffic flow.

Many of these cars were familiar to Qiao Yan, and they all appeared in Qiao's yard in the past.Some of them were Qiao Chen's friends, and the other part were friends of the Qiao family and eldest brother Qiao Jing.

Qiao Yan looked at them in suits and leather shoes, each of them brought rich and exquisite gifts to celebrate Qiao Chen's birthday.But he was standing here, just asking for a chance to let his mother rest in peace.

Being so humble, Qiao Yan didn't know for a moment whether he had brought it on himself because of the illegitimate child, or if he was really desperate and pitiful.

The night was gradually turning dark, and it seemed that it was almost eight o'clock, but Qiao Yan still didn't wait for Qiao Jing to appear.

Could it be that he was late and they had already gone in?Qiao Yan's heart sank gradually.

At this moment, Qiao Yan saw Qiao Jing's car driving in.

Qiao Yan gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to rush to the front of the car.

The driver didn't expect someone to rush in suddenly, so he slammed on the brakes.The front of the car barely stopped where it almost hit Qiao Yan's stomach.After Qiao Jing saw that it was Qiao Yan, he was also very shocked. He opened the car window and looked at Qiao Yan with a frown.But another person in the car patted him on the shoulder, as if to persuade him to calm down.

Qiao Yan leaned closer to see another person's face, and subconsciously avoided it.

He is a few years older than Qiao Jing, and he is more composed. Although the style of the suit on his body is very ordinary, the warm and transparent Hetian jade cufflinks on the cuffs already show that this person's identity is far higher than that of Brother Qiao. .

He is the person in charge of the Qiao family's generation, and Qiao Jin, Qiao Yan and Qiao Chen's big brother.

For this, Joe was in awe and fear.Even though he had never punished Qiao Yan, the scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at Qiao Yan was enough for Qiao Yan to remember for a lifetime.

Three years ago, Qiao Yan won the national championship in a mathematics competition, and he was called to meet him once.That time was also the only time Qiao Yan entered the old house.

Outside is the gathering of Qiao's family, it's a scene where the rich and elite gather together.And Qiao Yan was wearing an old school uniform, and was summoned by Qiao Jin in a small room in the corner of the old house.

Seeing this man for the first time, Qiao Yan was dazzled by his aura, and didn't dare to look him directly.Unexpectedly, after Qiao Jin sized him up, the first thing he said was praise.

"You did well in the exam. After all, you still have the blood of the Qiao family. You are very smart and know how to work hard."

So, is my cousin admitting his identity?Joe looked up at him in surprise.

But Qiao Jin's next sentence sent him to hell.

"I called you here today, but I still want to beat you. Don't forget your identity."

"Your family background is not bright, and grandpa's permission to raise you in Qiao's family is already the biggest concession. You must keep your own caution, otherwise, you won't know if you will lose your life someday."

The blood all over Qiao Yan's body was half cold.On the way back, he kept thinking about why the eldest brother questioned him out of the blue. When he got home, he saw a "be careful in words and deeds" ornament on the table and a shredded award certificate still in the trash can. Understood.

It was him who was too flamboyant.When he won the championship and was interviewed, the reporter asked Qiao Yan what hope he had.At that time, Qiao Yan saw No.2 smiling happily while holding the flowers his parents gave him, so he said out of nowhere that he hoped to be praised by the elders in the family.

Qiao Yan heard people say that this interview will not be published, but only used as material for reporting.Later, Qiao hated reading the interviews in the newspaper, and indeed did not add this paragraph.So Qiao Yan always thought it didn't matter.

But in fact, how many things about him can be concealed from the Qiao family?

The Qiao family did not allow the identity of his illegitimate child to be known to the outside world, and people mistakenly thought that the private life of the Qiao family was chaotic.After all, the Qiao family, a century-old family, is most praised for its rules.

It turned out to be waiting for him here.

Qiao Jin personally warned him, which really gave him face.

From then on, Qiao Yan avoided Qiao Jin, but he never expected to meet him here.But even so, for the sake of his mother, he couldn't back down.

Qiao Yan made up his mind and grabbed the car door.

"You go home first!" Because Qiao Yan blocked the car, the cars behind couldn't get in, and there was already a queue.Qiao Jing didn't want to cause extra problems, and wanted Qiao to be tired of leaving.

But Qiao Yan boldly said to Qiao Jing, "Brother, I have something to ask you."

"I'll talk about it another day." Qiao Jing was really impatient, and Qiao Jin frowned.

Thinking of Qiao Jin's resolute methods, Qiao Yan trembled uncontrollably.Thinking of the teacher, the bookstore owner, the old grandfather who was driven away, the dead cat, and... Mom, Qiao Yan summoned up her courage, "Brother, can you get out of the car and listen to me, I will delay you." 5 minutes."

"Qiao Yan, you know what day it is today. I have to go to the old house to host the banquet at eight o'clock. It's already seven fifty. Do you think I can give you five minutes?"

"One minute is fine. Brother, Qiao Chen asked someone to spread the word about my illegitimate child in school."

"Qiao Yan, I'll talk about these little things later." Although Qiao Jing was usually indifferent to Qiao Yan, he was still polite.But today, after being pestered repeatedly by Qiao Yan, his expression darkened.

"It's not a trivial matter. I might be expelled from the school." Qiao Yan knew that if he didn't say anything now, he would never have another chance, so he didn't want to be ashamed, so he went all out and told everything that happened today.

He spoke too fast, and his anxiety caused confusion.

Being pestered by Qiao Yan repeatedly, coupled with the lack of time, Qiao Jing also had obvious anger on his face, "Qiao Yan! Shut up!"

"I'm sorry." Qiao Yan apologized reflexively.

"Driver, drive." Qiao Jing ordered the driver with a cold face.But Qiao Yan was still holding on to the car window and refused to let go.

"Master." The driver was very embarrassed.There were more and more cars gathered behind, and some even poked their heads out to see Qiao Yan.

"What on earth are you going to do? Even if someone in your school knows that you are an illegitimate child, and your household registration is not registered with Qiao's family, after the school checks, they will naturally understand that you are not. On such an important occasion today, you must let the whole of Qiao Is everyone ashamed to follow you?"

"Then what can I do?" Qiao Yan also raised her voice uncontrollably, "The owner of the bookstore where I worked was sold by the landlord. What will the whole family do next? The teacher has been reported, and now they are going home to accept Investigation. And my cat. My cat was also thrown to death. Even the house I lived in, the landlord broke the contract and quit the lease."

"Brother, I'm an illegitimate child. I admit it. Qiao Chen can torture me as much as he wants. But the dead are the worst. I beg you, brother, let Qiao Chen let her go!"

"She has been gone for so long. No one has seen him in the past 17 years, so he was punished. If Qiao Chen is angry that I go to worship, then I will not go in the future. He wants to beat me, scold me, and want to I'll keep everything. Just... just let her die in peace. Please."

What Qiao Yan said didn't make sense, but it was easy for people to hear what he had experienced.

Qiao Jin looked at Qiao Jing, "Ah Chen really did it?"

Qiao Jing shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't heard from the people below. It stands to reason that if Ah Chen employs someone, I will definitely be notified."

Qiao Jin looked at Qiao Yan, "What evidence do you have that Chen did it?"

Qiao Yan was stunned.

……

He did not.

Yes, everything is just speculation, but the only person around him who can do this is Qiao Chen.As for the others, why did they treat him like this?

"So, you go back and wait for the news first, and I will let your elder brother find someone to investigate." Qiao Jin signaled the bodyguards in the car to get down, and sent Qiao Yan away first.It can't be blocked here all the time.

Joe hung on to the car door in disgust, he didn't want to go.It's true that Qiao Jin said a lot, but the matter Qiao Yan asked for involved his mother, and Qiao Chen would never let it go easily. Even if Qiao Jin intervened, he couldn't stop Qiao Chen from wanting revenge.

Touching the vibrating cell phone in his pocket, Qiao Yan knew that it was the cemetery that was urging him to deal with it quickly.Qiao Yan gritted her teeth, "Can I take away the birth certificate when I was born? Or give me some kind of certificate to prove that I am mother-child relationship with her."

"The cemetery is only waiting for me until eight o'clock."

"Qiao is tired, enough is enough." This time, even Qiao Jin's face darkened.

Seeing that Qiao Jin and Qiao Jing didn't want to bother, Qiao Yan gritted his teeth and knelt directly at the door of the car.

"Qiao Yan!" Qiao Jing was so angry that his face changed.

But Qiao Yan bowed deeply, "Brother, I beg you!"

"Whatever you want, just drive!"

Qiao Yan watched the window roll up, and the car was about to drive away, so she subconsciously grabbed the door, the car had already started, and dragged Qiao Yan forward for several steps.

"Qiao Yan, are you fucking crazy?" Qiao Jing finally broke out, "I'm telling you, you don't have to put on such a desperate look. Even if you die here today, it's just a rite of passage for Ah Chen Kind of unlucky."

"I'm usually polite to you because of your sense of humor. If you keep pestering me like this, do you think I won't take action against you?"

Yes, of course you will.Qiao Yan's heart was cold. Qiao Jing was also his wife's child, so naturally he hated him the most as an illegitimate child.But what can I do then?

He is also at a loss.

Qiao Yan stretched out her hand and grabbed Qiao Jing's trousers, begging in a low voice, "No, I didn't intend to threaten anyone. Big brother... no, Mr. Qiao, please let the young master hold your hand high and let her go!"

"In the future, I will never run away again. I don't want a good life anymore. I will let myself live like a dog for the rest of my life. I will never be happy in my life. I just ask the young master to let him go. I will replace her sins." She also, please."

"Qiao Yan! What the hell are you doing? Security, take him away!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qiao Jing felt that his face was thrown on the ground and stepped on.What's more, when Qiao Yan mentioned his mother, his anger became even more uncontrollable.

"You can be a dog to whomever you want. Qiao hates me for warning you one last time. Qiao's house is not a place where you can be presumptuous!"

"Mr. Joe, Mr. Joe, please!"

Qiao Yan desperately grabbed Qiao Jing's trousers and the car door, but the car still drove away.

Qiao Yan was pinned to the ground by the bodyguards, he struggled too far away, and a large wound was rubbed on his arm on the ground.Blood stained his sleeve red, but Qiao Yan struggled desperately towards the gate as if he couldn't feel the pain.The two bodyguards could barely catch him.In the end, he had no choice but to violently cut Qiao Yan's arm behind his back, press his head to the ground, and prevent him from moving.

The entrance road became clear again, and almost everyone who passed by looked at Qiao Yan with eyes like they were looking at a madman.

After a while, the lights in the yard on the other side of the old house came on, and the sound of the band's violin could be heard from a distance.

The clock finally passed eight o'clock, and Qiao Chen's coming-of-age ceremony banquet started on time.

He struggled for a while, but finally got nothing.

Qiao Yan felt like a raft floating on the sea, dilapidated and about to be annihilated.And those things that he cared about, even though they were taken care of so carefully, were eventually eroded by the sea water.

Seeing that Joe couldn't move anymore, the two bodyguards finally let go.Qiao Yan got up from the ground and sat on the ground for a long time without moving.Until the vibration in the pocket came again.Qiao Yancai numbly took out his phone.

The phone call was from the cemetery, saying that the ashes were not taken away because the driver's procedures were not complete.

"The person who handled the ashes storage contacted us and renewed the fee for the pagoda for one year, so you don't have to worry about it for now. No one can take it away without the undertaker's signature."

Qiao Yan was stunned for a moment, said "thank you" belatedly, and then leaned against the tree trunk behind him as if he had collapsed.

"It's okay!" The bodyguard also knew Qiao Yan's identity, but he didn't mean to look down on him.

In their line of work, they have seen things about wealthy families.In other people's homes, there are more illegitimate children than Qiao who hates being beaten and is really a monster.Compared with them, Qiao Yan has excellent grades and is cautious in his words and deeds. It can be said that it is not easy.Seeing his pale face, he was also a little worried.

Qiao Yan shook his head and said "thank you" again.

The bodyguard sighed. At this time, another bodyguard came out from the community. He gave Qiao Yan a complicated look, then took out a bank card from his pocket and put it in front of Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan raised her head, her eyes were red, like a tortured little beast.

"Mister gave it to you, so that you can take care of yourself in the future." Seeing the wound on Qiao Yan's body, the bodyguard took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and put it next to the bank card.

"Did the hall brother give this to me too?" Qiao Yan seemed to have water in his eyes.

The bodyguard hesitated.

Qiao Yan immediately understood that the eldest brother has so many things to do every day, so he naturally doesn't pay attention to such small details. It should be given by the bodyguard who sympathized with him.Qiao Yan forced a smile, "Thank you."

"Then go back early!" Seeing that Qiao Yan had calmed down, the two bodyguards also planned to go back to the old house.

Qiao Yan paused for a while, stood up from the ground, and walked a few steps along the street. Unlike the cars coming and going just now, the place became empty as soon as Qiao Chen's coming-of-age ceremony started.

For a moment, Qiao Yan's heart was full of mixed feelings, but in the end, it all turned into unspeakable sadness.

Qiao Yan covered her face and squatted on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
