"Mr. Jian!" Seeing this, Peng Xi hurriedly picked up the paper in his hand and stretched it out towards him, while turning his eyes to Peng's mother in shock: "Mom?? What's the matter with you?!"

Jian Ning raised her hand and refused his wiping, Peng Xi still wanted to move, Jian Ning glared at him and shook her head slightly.

He was signaling Peng Xi not to continue.

There was a certain force in the eyes, which made Peng Xi stop.

The waiter just came to deliver the food. Seeing that she was about to come in, Peng Xi signaled to her that she had something to do inside and waited for a while.

The waiter understood and left the room, but Peng Ji was dumbfounded and stayed aside, daring not to make a sound.

Mother Peng put down the water glass, stood where she was, and took a few breaths. She looked around slowly, and gradually started to panic and anger, and gradually became shocked until she seemed to wake up from a big dream. She grabbed the glass in a panic and looked at Jian Ning. : "...Little Jane, I..."

"It's okay." Jian Ning waved her hand.

The hair on his forehead was wet, and water flowed down his cheeks, turning into wisps.

"Auntie, I don't know what Peng Xi's father made you go through before... I apologize if it made you sad." Jian Ning said, "I can now understand that your hatred for the gay community comes from this, but I promise, I won't do that to him."

"What do you promise...is it just because you know him?" Mother Peng said, "I don't know some of those things you wrote to me! But what do you want to prove? Prove that you know better than me My son, do you prove that you love each other?"

"Mom." Peng Xi looked at her and whispered calmly, "Enough."

Peng Xi still wanted to speak, but when he turned his eyes, he saw his younger brother picking up vegetables with chopsticks, with a face of nothing to do with himself. There was a fire in his heart, because his action completely ignited it.

"Tell me, what can you prove..."

"Mom! I said enough! Enough!" Peng Xi patted the table, pointed at Peng Ji and said, "Peng Ji, what do you eat?! Stand up for me."

Peng Ji was startled, all the chopsticks fell on the table, he stood up tremblingly, Peng Xi had already stood beside him, grabbed his collar and pulled him in front of Peng's mother.

Peng Ji staggered, and turned to Peng Xi in fear.

"Mom, when I came to Shanghai, I only had about [-] yuan because of this man. How much money I have earned so far, I donated all of it to him. If there is no Jane Ning, I will starve to death." "Peng Xi said, "I know about my father's cheating, which is unforgivable, but we are just ordinary love, and the nature is completely different! Of course, I don't expect you to accept it, but can you see it clearly, This person and I are both your sons, he is a child! He has just grown up! He is studying! Am I going to pay for his life?! From the beginning to the end, have you ever asked me if I would like it?"

Peng Ji was held by the neck and dared not move, shivering: "Mom...Mom..."

"Let go of my brother." Peng's mother held Peng Xi's hand, who was holding Peng Ji's collar, and said in a trembling voice, "I beg you, Xiaoxi. Give mom a chance to survive."

"Have you ever given me a way to survive?" Peng Xi said with restraint.

Mother Peng stared at him blankly for a while, until she covered her mouth and began to cry softly.

The atmosphere fell to a trough.

Peng Xi loosened Peng Ji's collar, and Peng Ji returned to his seat and sat down.

"Peng Xi, stop talking." Jian Ning said, "Let's eat first."

"You guys eat." Peng's mother said, "Peng Ji, let's go back."

"Ah, good." Peng Ji immediately stood up again.

Jian Ning wanted to stop her, but when she saw Peng Xi standing beside her in a daze, she didn't say anything.He watched Peng Ji run to Peng's mother and help her. Peng Xi glanced at them and said nothing.

After Mother Peng and Peng Ji left, Peng Xi sighed and ran back to Jian Ning.Jian Ning took a few napkins from the table, and wiped the water from her face.Peng Xi brushed his forehead hair away, pulled the paper distressedly, and wiped his forehead.

"I'm sorry..." Peng Xi said.

"What are you sorry for?" Jian Ning sat down, rubbing her shoulders and chest with lowered eyes.

Jian Ning's chest was covered with water stains and sporadic tea foam, and she endured it until Peng's mother left.

Seeing this, Peng Xi felt even more uncomfortable. He squatted on the ground and wiped his arms and clothes with a clean towel.

After wiping, he thought of the sudden situation just now, and felt that Jian Ning was usually a proud and arrogant person, and she couldn't bear the slightest grievance. She needed to change into slippers in the office, and the air conditioner needed to be warm enough to touch strangers. His body needs to wear gloves, and he can't bear all kinds of grievances, but he insisted on carrying this matter.

Thinking of this, while wiping, he buried his face in Jian Ning's knee in discomfort, and sniffed softly.

"..." Jian Ning paused her hands, lowered her eyes and said, "Crying?"

Peng Xi didn't speak, but rubbed his face against Jian Ning's knee, and then his shoulders trembled slightly.

Seeing his sudden change of state, Jian Ning was so different from the aura just now that Jian Ning became a little flustered: "...Hello."

"Mr. Jane." Peng Xi put his arms around his waist.

"...Why are you crying..." Jian Ning sighed helplessly, reached out to pat him on the back, and moved closer to him, "How old are you?"

Peng Xi raised his face and rubbed his face with the palm of his hand in discomfort.

From Jian Ning, he thought of himself again.

It's so damn difficult, helping my family like this, helping my younger brother to go to school, helping my younger brother pay off his debts, and buying a house for my mother in Beijing, in the end it is me who is the most thankless.For the sins his father committed back then, he has to help his father when he is in a relationship.

After Peng Xi wiped away his tears with one hand, Jian Ning pinched his chin, making him raise his face a little.

"Mr. Jian..." Peng Xi had tears in his eyes, and his brows were still drooping, "I'm sorry, I can't hold it back...I'm so annoying..."

"I didn't let you hold back." Jian Ning lowered her head and grabbed his hand, pulling out a piece of paper.He tucked his wet hair behind his ears, and dropped his eyes to wipe away the tears on his face with a tissue. He wiped it. Seeing Peng Xi's stupid and aggrieved look, he couldn't help laughing.

Whenever Jian Ning smiles from the bottom of her heart, she looks as good-looking as the warm sun above a frozen lake, and she is also charming with sparkling rays of light.

While shaking his head, he looked at Peng Xi who was in a daze, and wiped his face with a tissue with his fingers: "You are really...why are you so stupid?"

"... To be honest, I still had the last fantasy at first, and I thought my mother still loved me." Peng Xi said.

"Of course she loves you." Jian Ning stroked the top of his head and whispered, "Otherwise she wouldn't hate me."

"But why do they hate you." Peng Xi said in a muffled voice, sounding a little childish, "Mr. Jian, you don't want this kind of gesture, I don't want you to be like this. I don't owe them anything...you don't even owe it."

"Your mother treated me well and made me have a very happy year." Jian Ning said, "You are different from me. I have too few unforgettable experiences in my life. That's all the happy things I can think of. I don't want to Wreck it, so it's nothing."

"I don't want you to be like this..." Peng Xi put her face on his stomach, hugged his waist tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "You don't want to be like this, I don't want you to be wronged, you are not wrong at all."

"You're not wrong." Jian Ning said, "If your mother doesn't agree with us being together in the end, will you continue with me?"

"Of course!" Peng Xi said loudly, "I will not separate from you."

"That's enough." Jian Ning put her hand into his hair, "So it doesn't matter whether she agrees or not, the result will not change."

It was impossible to continue this meal, so Jian Ning went upstairs and opened a room, and the two of them took a bath to feel completely comfortable.Peng Xi waited for Jian Ning to blow her hair, and she had calmed down from the uncomfortable mood just now, so she called Peng Ji.

"Go to sleep..." Peng Ji said, "Mom didn't sleep all night yesterday, she must be very sleepy."

"Then are you hungry?" Peng Xi said.

"Hungry." Peng Ji replied.

"If you're hungry, order takeaway," Peng Xi said.

Peng Ji: "...Oh."

"Brother." Peng Ji said softly, "I'm sorry."

"Is it okay for me to reply?" Peng Xi sighed.

"I know that you have helped me a lot, and I also know that I was wrong." Peng Ji said, "My brother is actually better than me in everything, better than me. Sometimes it is difficult for me to express this feeling... Our school and our class also have Homosexuals, although I don't quite understand them, but I get used to them after seeing them too much, and Jane is always a good person... Is he okay? I can see that Mom is quite regretful."

"It's okay." Peng Xi said, "When do you plan to go back?"

"Weekend." Peng Ji said.

"In our state, I can't play with you anymore," Peng Xi said.

"Mom isn't in the mood to play. When she wakes up, I'll talk to her." Peng Ji said, "Say sorry to Mr. Jane for me."

After hanging up the phone, Peng Xi saw Jian Ning's phone ringing.Jian Ning just came out of the bathroom and asked, "Whose phone is it?"

Peng Xi leaned over to look: "It's Brother Xu Ke."

As he spoke, he handed it to Jian Ning.

"What's wrong?" Jian Ning answered the phone and asked.

Peng Xi leaned beside him and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Didn't Fang Dong be released? It is said that Chi Zhengming was confessed." Xu Ke said.

Jian Ning raised her hand to turn on the speakerphone, put it on for Peng Xi who was at the side, and asked, "And then?"

"When the police went to investigate, they found that Chi Zhengming had fled. Now the police are hunting him all over the city, and his company is empty. You should be careful, he is very dangerous now, don't wait for him to come to you "Xu Ke said, "The answer given by the police is that the business Chi Zhengming is doing now is basically wild animal fur smuggling///smuggling, which is processed abroad and then sold in the domestic market. Big group forces, it is said that the police have been cleaning them up for several years and have not cleaned them up. In the early years, some entertainment companies in China secretly engaged in illegal transactions, selling///drugs and love affairs. Wasn’t it a sensation at the time? They are the forces that have used these methods to invest in///money in the past few years, cleanly, and they have only revealed their flaws these days."

After hearing this, Peng Xi always felt that the conversation was a bit familiar.

"Although I don't think it's possible, Chi Zhengming is a wanted criminal now. I'm afraid that he will jump over the wall and come to you again to ask you for money, and it will be bad for you, but he should probably no longer be in the country, just to remind you. Xu Ke said, "Speaking of which, how are you doing? Have you dealt with the old lady?"

"..." Jian Ning didn't speak.

"It doesn't look like it." Xu Ke said with a smile, "Although I guessed it a long time ago, I still have to sympathize with you."

"You guessed it a long time ago?" Peng Xi asked.

"Hey, you turned on the speakerphone." Xu Ke said, "Brother, you heard what I just said, you two protect yourselves for me."

Peng Xi said: "I will, I will definitely protect Mr. Jian."

Jian Ning glanced at him, and heard Xu Ke laughing on the phone, he said: "I won't bother you, I have to go to work."

When Xu Ke hung up the phone, Jian Ning dropped the phone and continued to wipe her hair.Peng Xi stood by the window and watched for a while, suddenly thought of something, a fragmented image flashed in his mind, then his scalp exploded, his whole body became numb, he immediately picked up his phone, and called back the number.

"Brother?" Peng Ji answered, "What's wrong?"

"Are you free? You come to my room." Peng Xi said, "You are the only one."
