"elder brother."
At this moment, the huge conference room was extremely quiet because of Pei Linxiao's call for the end of the meeting. It was so quiet that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly, so he could hear Li Qin's "brother" very clearly.
however……
"Don't call me brother, I'm not your brother." The man's cool voice hit Li Qin's ears, and she bit her lips tightly, not daring to make any sound.
Yes, he was no longer her brother, and the memories they had shared were buried when he sent her abroad against her will.
Li Qin was once the daughter of the Pei family, but due to an accident, the Pei couple discovered that she was not their daughter.
Coincidentally, not long after Li Qin's background was revealed, the real daughter of the Pei family came to the door and even did a DNA test with the Pei couple.
Li Qin still remembers the Pei couple coming out with the test report, crying bitterly while hugging their long-lost daughter.
At that moment, no one knew that her heart felt like it had been cut open by a knife.
Yes, she was not the daughter of Pei family, but the family affection over the past ten years was deeply engraved in her heart, so she naively thought that she would still have a place in the Pei family after they found their daughter.
She didn't ask for much, just a small position, because they were the ones who had accompanied her in her growth and given her infinite love over the years.
So what if they are not her biological parents, but Li Qin has already regarded them as her biological parents in her heart.
Moreover, she never thought that the blood relationship of giving birth but not raising a child could replace the companionship and care given to a child day and night for many years.
But she didn't know that people's hearts are narrow-minded and selfish, just like the young lady from the Pei family who had just been recognized.
She could not tolerate having a place in the Pei family, nor could she tolerate Pei's parents sharing their love with her.
So she posed a difficult problem to the Pei couple, which was more like a choice than a problem.
That is, the Pei family can only have Li Qin but not her, and if she is there, there will be no Li Qin. In short, the Pei family can only have one rich daughter.
The result is predictable. Even though the Pei couple had feelings for her for so many years, how could she compare to their biological daughter? So she was kicked out of the Pei family without any suspense.
It was raining heavily on the day she was kicked out. The Pei couple, remembering their past relationship, promised her that she could take away the valuable gifts they had given her, saying that this was compensation for breaking up with her.
After all, she is their biological daughter, and she is sensitive and jealous of the treatment Li Qin has enjoyed in the Pei family over the past decade.
Li Qin didn't say anything at that time. Of course, she didn't want anything that the Pei couple gave her. She just walked out alone and dejected.
The heavy rain soaked her whole body, but it also effectively concealed the tears that rolled down her eyes.
Why was she crying? It wasn't because she was reluctant to leave the Pei family's splendor and wealth, but because she truly regarded them as her own family.
But they...
"Wait." Just as she was soaked and about to walk out of the Pei family's gate, Pei Linxiao's voice rang out.
She turned around, her red and swollen eyes met the man's deep eyes, and she choked with sobs, "Brother." She thought he was reluctant to leave her, and with her eyes blurred by tears, she watched him go from choking to wailing.
Her body, soaked by the rain, was trembling slightly, and her lips were bitten until they turned pale.
Her eyes fell on the black umbrella he was holding tightly in one hand. She sniffed and rushed towards him, then hugged him tightly.
At that moment, the coldness in her body seemed to be suddenly injected with a warm current, and she was reluctant to let go.
Her wet head rested on the man's strong chest, her voice sour, "Brother, can you please ask my parents for me? I really don't want to leave the Pei family. I... can't bear to leave them, and I can't bear to leave you."
Ai Ai's voice sounded particularly pitiful and distressing, but Pei Linxiao coldly pulled her away from his chest, and Li Qin was stunned at that time.
Just as she was about to say something, he handed her a box. His voice was cold and emotionless, "You've dominated Xiaoqin's life for more than ten years, Liqin. You should be content."
At that moment, Li Qin's mind was spinning, because her name was Pei Qin, and the name Li Qin was unfamiliar to her.
And Pei Linxiao's cold and ruthless words about being content, in a trance, she understood everything.
It turns out that after the real daughter of the Pei family came back, it was not only the Pei couple who didn't want her, but also Pei Linxiao.
Pei Linxiao is not the real son of the Pei family. He was adopted by them, but the Pei couple attaches great importance to this adopted son.
Firstly, his elegant and outstanding appearance brought them honor, and secondly, his outstanding business ability.
Of course, no one is a fool. The reason why the Pei couple likes and trusts Pei Linxiao so much has another deeper meaning, which is that they tacitly assume that he is the son-in-law of the Pei family.
"It contains your biological parents' address and contact information, as well as the jewelry beads Chairman Pei and Mrs. Pei gave you..."
"That's my Pei family's property, brother, you can't let her take it away."
Pei Linxiao was interrupted by a sharp voice before he could finish his words.
Then Pei Qin snatched the box from Li Qin's hand with a distorted face, pulled out the paper with her biological mother's information that Pei Linxiao mentioned and threw it at her.
With a ferocious look on her face, she told her to get out, get out of the Pei family, get out of her brother's sight, and get out of their world.
In this way, Li Qin was expelled from the Pei family, but even so, Pei Qin had no intention of letting her go.
Fearing that the Pei couple would suddenly feel sympathy for her, she secretly hired someone to kill her. Fortunately, she was saved by Pei Linxiao several times.
Later, Pei Linxiao sent Li Qin abroad on the pretext of studying, and fearing that she would return without permission, he confiscated her ID card and passport. She stayed there for five years.
"Speak." The suffocating silence was interrupted by Pei Linxiao's cold voice, and Li Qin finally came back to her senses from that memory.
"Boss Pei, I want to go back to Jinghai."
"Going back to Jinghai? Have you completed your studies?" The cold voice was questioning.
Li Qin's heart stagnated, "Well, is it okay?"
Since her passport and ID card were held by this man, she had no reason not to beg him humbly.
"Let me think about it." Pei Linxiao was about to hang up, but Li Qin was anxious. "How long will it take? Or just tell me directly what it takes for you to let me return to Jinghai."
The man heard her anxious voice and narrowed his eyes, "Are you hiding something from me?"
This girl wouldn't be so flustered just because she wanted to go back to Jinghai, so...
"Something happened to Ruan Zheng." Li Qin's voice was filled with tears when she mentioned Ruan Zheng.
Pei Linxiao's heart suddenly tightened. He was not quite clear about the significance of Ruan Zheng to Liqin. He only knew that Ruan Zheng had saved Liqin's life when she was young.
But Ruan Zheng was Fu Yanshen's wife after all, so he didn't want her to get involved. "The Fu family's affairs are not something you can control, Li Qin, don't overestimate your abilities."
In other words, she is just an ant now, so how can she have the confidence to care about Fu Yanshen's affairs? What's more, the trivial matters between Fu Yanshen and Gu Mengxi have always been difficult to deal with.
"I know I can't do anything about it, but I can fight for Ruan Zheng." Li Qin's voice was decisive. Ruan Zheng, who was covered in blood but tried her best to save her, flashed through her mind, and her tears suddenly rolled down.
Pei Linxiao knew her temper, so he suppressed the reprimand that was about to come out of his mouth and said in a gentle voice, "You can come back, but you must come to Shanshui Hua Ting first after getting off the plane."
