Chapter 77: Fiancée Pei Qingqing

Slow Residence, Xiao Feiwu and Xu Jiahao paced back and forth in front of the entrance.

“Were these two kidnapped? A ten-minute journey, even if they were slow, should have taken twenty minutes, right? It’s almost been an hour, why haven’t we seen them?”

Xiao Feiwu already had a loud voice, and now that he was anxious, the sound coming out was like firecrackers, the kind that shoots straight up into the sky.

Xu Jiahao was relatively calmer.

“Before, at the hospital, I saw a sweet and greasy atmosphere between them. Who knows, they might have hidden somewhere in the forest along the way for a little ‘fun’!”

Xiao Feiwu looked shocked.

“How is that possible? Have they reached the point where they can have outdoor ‘fun’?”

Xu Jiahao bent over laughing.

“I was just saying, it doesn’t necessarily have to be outdoor ‘fun,’ they could be having a heart-to-heart!”

Xiao Feiwu stared at Xu Jiahao, speechless for a long while.

Xu Jiahao’s stomach hurt from laughing. Seeing Xiao Feiwu staring at him like a suffocating goldfish, he couldn’t stop laughing even more.

“Jin Baiyan, that guy, looks very calm and calculated, but in reality, when he meets Jin Mo, he becomes a mess.”

Xiao Feiwu plopped down on the stone bench next to him, “Jin Baiyan doesn’t have any memories right now. I’m afraid Jin Mo will push too hard and scare him away again!”

Xu Jiahao laughed for a while, finally stopping, and sat down as well.

“You’re actually worried about this?”

“Of course! They’re both my brothers! Chairman Jin adopted me from the orphanage. I grew up with Jin Baiyan and Jin Mo, they’re my family.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiahao turned to Xiao Feiwu.

“You’re an orphan too?”

Xiao Feiwu nodded.

“When I was five, my parents died in a car accident, leaving me alone. I was taken in by the orphanage. At ten, I became Baiyan’s sparring partner, until I joined the army at eighteen. I stayed in the army for six years, and after coming out, I joined Jin Corporation.”

After speaking, he looked at Xu Jiahao, “What about you? Why didn’t you study hard and get into a good university? Stalking and taking photos isn’t exactly a respectable profession, is it?”

Xu Jiahao glared at him.

“I wasn’t as lucky as you. My dad was a gambling addict and an alcoholic. He gambled away everything valuable in the house. When he lost money, he drank, and when he drank, he beat people. My mom couldn’t take it anymore and left! Leaving me alone to face a gambling addict every day, how could I study?”

Xu Jiahao’s face carried a smile, but the words he spoke made Xiao Feiwu’s heart tremble.

“What happened later?”

“Later?” Xu Jiahao looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, suppressing the moisture in the corners of his eyes, “Later, the gambling addict, after drinking again, fell into a sewer and wasn’t discovered until a few days later. He had already bloated and decomposed!”

After speaking, both of them fell silent.

Xiao Feiwu reached out and ruffled Xu Jiahao’s hair.

“It’s okay, from now on, I’ll protect you!”

Xu Jiahao’s hand, hanging by his side, trembled.

Having lived for twenty-five years, it was the first time he heard someone say they would protect him.

He turned to look at Xiao Feiwu, smiling and teasing, “Do you really like protecting others?”

Xiao Feiwu “hmmphed” and his face flushed slightly, “You’re the first person who’s made me say I’ll protect them, don’t get too cocky!”

A warm feeling vaguely surged in Xu Jiahao’s heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

“Thank you, Brother Wu! I’ll be relying on you from now on!”

Xiao Feiwu, a big, rough man, was actually a little embarrassed. He avoided Xu Jiahao’s smiling eyes and said, “Mm!”

The two of them sat on the stone bench beside Slow Residence, waiting for the long-delayed pair, while enjoying the mountain breeze.

“Feiwu!”

An elegant voice came from the side. Xiao Feiwu was stunned, feeling that the voice was very familiar. When he turned his head, the expression on his face changed drastically.

“Oh my god!”

Xu Jiahao also looked over.

He saw an elegant noblewoman leading a fashionable beauty, followed by a youthful and pretty girl, walking leisurely towards the two of them.

He grabbed Xiao Feiwu, who was about to stand up.

“Oh my god, isn’t that Jin Baiyan’s mother, and Pei Qingqing, who caused the rift between him and Jin Mo? Why are they here?”

Xiao Feiwu was also shocked upon shocked.

“How would I know? Do you want to quietly call Jin Mo and give him a heads-up?”

Xu Jiahao nodded, “Okay, you go greet them, I’ll inform Jin Mo!”

Xiao Feiwu smiled and walked towards Jin Mother, saying, “Aunt Jin, why are you here?”

Jin Mother held Pei Qingqing’s hand, smiling as she said, “Little Mo told me that Baiyan’s face was injured and needed good scar-removing cream. As soon as I got it, I brought it over for him!”

Xiao Feiwu’s gaze fell on Pei Qingqing.

Pei Qingqing smiled and called out, “Brother Feiwu!”

Xiao Feiwu nodded, his tone somewhat doubtful, “Why is Qingqing here too?”

Pei Qingqing’s smile faltered.

Jin Mother quickly explained, “When I came, Qingqing had just returned to the country. Knowing that Baiyan was missing, she was also anxious, so she wanted to come and see him. I thought that since they’ve known each other since they were young and still have some feelings, I brought her along!”

Xiao Feiwu scoffed.

“Aunt Jin, you…”

Xiao Feiwu originally wanted to say, ‘You clearly know how much Jin Mo hates Pei Qingqing, yet you still brought her here, you’re simply disgusting,’ but then he thought that it wasn’t his place to say this, so he stopped.

“Aunt Jin, then who is this?”

“Oh, I’m Little Mo’s girlfriend!” The beautiful girl flicked her ponytail, smiling as she said, “My name is Ruan Ying.”

Xiao Feiwu’s jaw almost dropped.

Bringing Pei Qingqing, who couldn’t get married to him, was one thing, but bringing a girlfriend too? Were they trying to tear apart the two people who had just reunited?

“When did Jin Mo get a girlfriend?” Xiao Feiwu frowned, pulled up his jaw, and asked in surprise.

Ruan Ying smiled and said, “A rumored girlfriend is still a girlfriend!”

Xiao Feiwu was shocked again, and it took a while before he could pull up his jaw.

“Aunt Jin, where are you staying tonight?”

Jin Mother pointed to Slow Residence.

“We’re naturally staying here with Baiyan!”

Xiao Feiwu thought for a moment, “I can’t make that decision. I have to wait for Baixian and Little Mo to come back before I can say.”

Jin Mother’s face darkened. She was Jin Baiyan’s mother, and to stay at her son’s place, she actually needed his permission. This made her very unhappy.

However, the elegance in her bones allowed her to maintain her composure.

“Isn’t Baiyan here? Where did he go?”

Xiao Feiwu led the group to the stone table next to Slow Residence.

“Little Mo’s leg was injured, and he stayed in the hospital for a few days. He’s being discharged today. Baixian, oh right, Baiyan has amnesia, he’s called Baixian now,” Xiao Feiwu explained.

Jin Mother was first surprised, “Baixian?” Then she returned to normal and nodded, “Little Mo told me about that.”

After speaking, she looked at Pei Qingqing.

It was precisely because of this reason that she dared to bring Pei Qingqing here.

Three days ago, Pei Qingqing returned to the country. After learning that Jin Baiyan was missing, she anxiously found Jin Mother and learned from her that Jin Baiyan had amnesia.

She then had an idea.

She told Jin Mother that Jin Baiyan was her only son, and if he couldn’t marry and have children, then the Jin family would be finished.

In the past, Jin Baiyan cared too much about Jin Mo and was willing to die rather than marry her.

Now that he had amnesia, wasn’t it a godsend? She would seize the opportunity while he had no memories and force herself onto him.

That way, the Jin family would have an heir.

Even if Jin Baiyan regained his memories in the future, he couldn’t erase this past. With his personality, he would never be involved with Jin Mo again.

Jin Mother couldn’t make up her mind, so she asked Jin Huaiyang. Jin Huaiyang was silent for a moment, then agreed to Pei Qingqing’s proposal.

In order to restrain Jin Mo, Pei Qingqing also brought in Ruan Ying, who had always coveted Jin Mo, as an accomplice.

Although Xiao Feiwu was a rough man, he wasn’t an idiot. Seeing the expressions of the others, he roughly understood.

He revealed a hint of sarcasm.
