Pei Yaochen saw that he was confused, and did not seem to be faking it. His heart became heavier, and his body flashed to the side, forming a gesture of invitation, "Come in!"
Pei Junshan walked in using the walking stick, and just as he sat down on the sofa, he lowered his head and started coughing.
There was a strange sound coming from his breathing, like two metal wires rubbing against each other. It was very ear-piercing and very unpleasant to listen to.
"Yeah. It was indeed very humiliating. In my life, I have done a lot of bad things, but the reason for doing this is ultimately for the sake of the Pei family. I had placed all my hopes on your father, who was even more rebellious than you, who wandered around like a prodigal son in order not to let me find him, and who was careful not to get pregnant with any woman who had ever been close to him. Your mother got pregnant with you because he fell in love with her and wanted to really stay and start a family with her. "
Suddenly, Pei Yaochen could no longer bear to listen. He stood up and said coldly: "If you want to make up a story with me tonight, sorry, my time is very precious. I am not interested in listening to your nonsense. This kind of story without nutrition, you go cheat the child, don't waste my time here! "Please!"
Pei Junshan shook his head bitterly, then took out a necklace and handed it to him, "Whether or not I'm lying, you'll know after looking at it."
Pei Yaochen frowned, he was motionless.
Pei Junshan pleaded: "Let's see. Some truths are right in front of you, and the key is whether you want to accept them. "
The hand holding the necklace was covered with spots of age. It was hard to tell if it was because he was excited or because he was old, but his hand was still trembling. The necklace swayed gently with the trembling of his hand, giving off a tempting glow in the yellowish morning light.
Pei Yaochen hesitated for a long time before he accepted the Peach Heart Pendant's necklace.
As he opened the Peach Blossom Heart Pendant, a picture of his mother smiling at him appeared in his mind. Looking at his mother's young and beautiful face, Pei Yaochen felt a little absent-minded.
In his memory, his mother had never been so beautiful at such a young age, much less had she smiled so happily.
Whether it was in the past or present, my mother's smile was full of sadness and vicissitudes.
And the woman in the Peach Heart Pendant was so dazzling.
Obviously, his mother had truly loved his father …
He took a deep breath, closed the Peach Blossom, and asked lightly: "What do you want to prove with this? To prove that my mother loved your debauchee so passionately? "
"Don't insult your father again! If I must be humiliated, then I will be humiliated! Because all the tragedies were caused by me! I made your mother an abandoned woman, I made you a despised bastard, and I made your father lose his life under the wheels. It's all my fault. I didn't mention it before because I was afraid that you would grow more distant from me and hate me. But now, my time is almost up, and I don't want my son to be hated by you and your son. That would be unfair to him, to you and your mother! " Pei Junshan was so excited that he started to violently cough, coughing until his face and neck were red, and it was hard for him to breathe.
Pei Yaochen frowned and waited quietly. For some reason, his heart was flustered and confused, like rootless duckweed without a root. He couldn't find his eternal home.
After a long while, Pei Junshan stopped coughing. He slowly reached out to his teacup and took a sip of tea, after moistening his throat and feeling a lot more comfortable, he continued: "There is something, I have never told you when or how exactly your father got into a car accident. Now, I can tell you the full story. That year, the day before he was going to get his marriage certificate with your mother, I found him. In order to not let you and your mother be controlled by me, he deliberately left with me, then jumped off the car in the middle of his journey. Unfortunately, his luck wasn't good, and a large truck that came flying from behind bumped into him, causing him to be swept into the carriage … "
At this point, he paused, panting against his heaving chest, his face contorted with painful memories.
Pei Yaochen was equally shocked. He never thought that his father, whom he had despised his entire life, would actually be so rebellious and infatuated.
He and his mother had wrongly blamed his father for their entire life. If he had known in the underworld, he would definitely be grieving, miserable, and unwilling, right?
The culprit behind all this was the old man sitting in front of him.
He was the one who killed his father and ruined their family's happiness!
For a moment he was angry and miserable.
He wanted to fiercely punch Pei Junshan a few times, but when he saw Pei Junshan's miserable state, he couldn't raise his fist no matter how hard he tried.
He was just an old man who had hidden the pain of losing his son for many years. Perhaps he was indeed very tyrannical and cruel, but everyone could tell that he deeply loved his son.
He just used the wrong method...
When Pei Junshan heard his rapid breathing, he raised his head and looked at him slowly. Then he said softly, "I know you really want to beat me up. To be honest, I've wanted to leave this world many times over the years. The images of his tragic death appeared in my dreams almost every night, and I couldn't forget them, so I couldn't get up for a long time. It wasn't until many years later, after knowing of your existence, that I found the hope to survive once more. Therefore, I will do everything I can to bring you here. Not only do I want you to become the successor of the Pei Family, but I also hope that I can personally nurture you into an outstanding person so that you can have a good future. No matter what setbacks you encounter in the future, you will have the ability to face them. As it turned out, I did it. Even though you don't understand me, the current you makes me proud! Even if one day you are schemed to lose everything, as long as you are willing, you can easily turn the tables. I am very confident of this point! Now, even if I were to die immediately, I would be able to peacefully go to see my son. "
"So what if you have that ability? So what if you have money and power? Do you know that I've never cared? All I care about is the happiness of the person I love! Yet you personally destroyed everything that I love. My father, my mother, my lover, even me! It was all ruined by you in the name of love! And you actually think that you can peacefully go and see your son and my father? I truly want to ask you, who gave you that confidence? " Pei Yaochen asked sharply.
Hearing that, Pei Junshan's face suddenly turned grey, he stared at him blankly for a long time, then used his walking stick to tremble and stood up, laughing bitterly: "You are right, I have been making mistakes, I have hurt everyone I care about, I do not have the face to see your father … …"
After saying that, he slowly walked towards the door while leaning on his walking stick.
Looking at his lonely and desolate back, Pei Yaochen wanted to give chase, but his feet were like mountains that couldn't be lifted.
He did want to forgive this old man who was about to die for what he had done, but years of injury had made it impossible for him to be so free.
He still needed time to digest this …
That day, Pei Yaochen locked himself in his hotel room and did not go out. It was only when the Principal called him to go over that night did he hurriedly go over to change his face and run out.
When he arrived at the hospital, he anxiously asked, "President, is the result already out?"
"Yes. The results were out. There was nothing wrong with the tea. It's a pretty good tea. "
"No problem?" Pei Yaochen was stunned, "Are you sure?"
"Of course. "Take a look for yourself. This is the test report." The dean handed him an inspection report.
He took it in his hand and checked it carefully. As expected, all the testing data were within a reasonable range. There were no abnormalities.
He couldn't help but let out a long breath, thinking to himself that his mind had been in a mess recently, which was why he had become so suspicious.
It seemed like he really needed to see a psychiatrist.
"Alright. If you find out that there's no problem, you should be relieved now that no one poisoned your mother. "
"Yes. Sorry to trouble you. "Then if there's nothing else, I'll just look at my mother. After seeing her, I'll go back." Pei Yaochen said that he wanted to leave.
However, the dean stopped him, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. There's something I want to ask you, is your grandfather at your place right now? "
Pei Yaochen was shocked, "Why do you ask? Is he not back yet? "
"No!" You don't know where he is, do you? Oh my god! I have to call the police! Hopefully nothing will happen to him! " The dean turned pale with fright. He picked up the phone and was about to call the police.
Before he could dial the number, Pei Junshan's voice came from the door, "No need to call the police. I'm back. "
When the dean saw him, he immediately hung up the phone and rushed forward to support him. "It's such a cold day, where did you run off to alone?"
Pei Junshan laughed lightly, "I was just going to sit by the seaside to think of a few questions. Seeing that it was getting late, he slowly walked back by himself. "Don't say a word. After walking around for a while today, I feel much better."
"Is that so? But it's dangerous for you to go out and run around on your own. In the future, if you want to go out and talk to me, I'll arrange for people to stay by your side to take care of you. " The dean helped him to a seat, poured him a cup of boiling water, and handed it to him.
Pei Junshan reached out to grab it, but before he could steady himself, his vision suddenly went dark, and he fell backwards.
Broken cups of water splashed.
