MTL - After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book-Chapter 92 Wear back the ninety-second day
The air was quiet for a few seconds, and the sound of steady footsteps approached from far away. Jiang Chen followed the sound and saw Mr. He approaching slowly.
"It's all here?" Mr. He stopped by the shelf at the junction of the living room and the middle hall, glanced at Jiang Chen and He Qianjian, and said calmly, "Since we're all here, follow me to the study."
Yang Yun pulled He Yanfeng's hand indiscriminately, and He Yanfeng said, "Dad, why don't you eat first."
"The rice is not cooked yet." Mr. He turned around and said, "Eat after talking."
The most authoritative person in the He family spoke, and the other people in the living room could only follow upstairs one after another.
He Qianjian grasped the shoulder strap of his schoolbag, his finger bones turned white, and he raised his legs a few times before stepping up the stairs. He heard footsteps of varying severity in his ears, and his mind buzzed.
"Qianjian." Yang Yun patted his shoulder lightly worriedly, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"
He Qianjian's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't hear the sound of the outside world at all, only calling the system in his mind again and again.
However, at least three minutes have passed since he saw Jiang Chen appearing in the old house, and the system still has not responded at all.
During the recent period, the system often does not respond to his exchanges, and every time he asks, he will say that he is looking for loopholes, and if he continues to ask, it will become a quarrel.
—Every time it was He Qianjian's unilateral quarrel, the system was only indifferent and unresponsive.
He Qianjian didn't believe that there would be any loopholes in the system at all. As the system itself said, it is a high-tech from the future, with powers that ordinary people can't imagine, and the plane where it is located is the most perfect intelligent program. That being the case, how could it have a loophole? If there is a loophole, why have I never heard of it in the past ten years.
All this just shows that the system may have grown tired of him and is slowing down.
Thinking of what he might have to face next, He Qianjian gripped the shoulder strap of his schoolbag harder and harder, and even his face and scalp became numb. He wanted to turn around and run, leaving here immediately, but his stiff and heavy legs could only climb up mechanically.
"Qianjian, Qianjian?" Seeing that He Qianjian's face was ugly and his hands were shaking, Yang Yun grabbed his arm and raised his voice, "Qianjian!"
The people walking in front were all turned back by Yang Yun's suddenly raised voice, only to see He Qianjian suddenly raised his head, revealing a bloodless face, only a pair of dark eyes without light, at first glance Somewhat scary.
"What's going on?" The old lady He, who was closest to He Qianjian, stretched out her hand, felt cold sweat on He Qianjian's forehead, and said distressedly, "Why is your complexion so bad? Are you sick?"
"I..." He Qianjian opened his mouth, looked through familiar faces, and found Jiang Chen at the top of the stairs. He seemed to be talking to He Qianmin just now, and he glanced this way casually when he heard the movement , and looked back indifferently.
This expression, this look... He Qianjian hasn't seen it for a long time.
—Like a high-ranking god, he lacks the interest to even look at the ants on the bottom of his feet.
Scenes of memories that he thought he had forgotten rushed towards him like turbulent waves, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
But why did Jiang Chen?
He is the eldest son of the He family, he is the eldest grandson of the He family who has lived in the He family for eighteen years and is known and recognized by everyone!
Does Jiang Chen want to take everything away from him? Why is he?
He Qianjian was breathing more and more heavily, and his anger surged layer upon layer. He looked at Jiang Chen as if he had killed his father and enemy.
The He family saw He Qianjian's expression in their eyes, and their expressions changed for a while, but the only ones who did not change their expressions were He Yanjun and Jiang Chen.
"Qianjian..." Yang Yun called him again, with a softer voice: "Are you okay? Is there something uncomfortable?"
Someone pulled his arm roughly, and He Qianjian suddenly came back to his senses. The first moment his reason returned to his mind, the different expressions of the He family also fell into his eyes.
It's over.
These two words were the only words left in He Qianjian's mind.
Seeing that He Qianjian was still in a daze, Mrs. He touched his forehead again, it was cold, and she couldn't help worrying: "Dabao has been a little bit wrong since he came back, could he be haunted by something?" ?”
He Qianjian's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Before he could speak, a sneer suddenly came from above: "Let's say there are no ghosts in this world, even if there are ghosts, you wouldn't dare to go to him, grandma, don't worry. "
He Yanjun patted He Qianmin's head lightly, "Stop talking."
He Qianmin pursed his lips, but did not continue to speak after all.
Mrs. He believed in her own speculation.
She has studied abroad for many years and respects the religious beliefs of various countries. When she was studying abroad, she would occasionally go to church with religious friends. After returning to China, she would also go to mountain temples to worship, but she did these more just for fun. , she didn't believe it. However, after knowing that Jiang Chen and He Qianjian were in the wrong, her thinking changed drastically.
After He Qianjian was discharged from the hospital, the words of the old Taoist priest who met at the entrance of the hospital were still in my ears. The old lady He had a good memory. I just thought I was a charlatan, but now I just want to know what the Taoist priest once said, "There will be a catastrophe within three years".
He Yanya often went home in the past few days and listened to the old lady's nagging a few times. When she saw the old lady's expression, she knew that the old lady really felt that He Qianjian was haunted by something.
But... He Qianjian's expression just now was indeed strange. He Yanya suppressed the doubts in her heart, comforted the old mother and said: "Mom, Qian Jian is probably tired from a day of class, and the third year of high school is heavy, so don't worry about it."
"Yes." Yang Yun answered, "Qian Jian has been under a lot of pressure to study during this period, and it often happens."
Just now He Qianjian thought about it on impulse, or just pretended that he was really haunted by something to fool him just now, but He Yanya's words made him sober. Being liked by the He family is like walking on thin ice, and they also know the temperament of the He family very well.
No one in the He family is easy to fool, and the system has been out of chain recently. His biggest reliance now is Mr. He and Mrs. He. The wife realized that he really had no foundation in the He family.
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine." After thinking it over, He Qianli smiled a little. He held the old lady's arm, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I slept late during this time, and I had a fever again a while ago." Come back, maybe it’s okay, it’s always easy to get distracted.”
"Have a fever?" The old lady hastily touched He Qianjian's forehead: "Are you feeling better now?"
He Qianjian raised his eyes and looked up, his eyelashes lowered, and his voice was cute: "It's much better."
"Drink more soup later, I have lost so much weight." The old lady said distressedly: "Even if you are a senior in high school, you have to pay attention to your body, Xiao Yang, you go back..."
"What are you doing on the stairs?" Mr. He interrupted Mrs. He with a serious face, "Not coming up yet!"
The study room is huge, even if ten people are standing or sitting, it doesn't look crowded at all. Mr. He sat on a red sandalwood armchair, his majestic and calm eyes swept over the people present, and finally fell on He Qianjian, and said slowly: "I called you all back today because I have something important to say, Qianjian."
He Qianjian met Mr. Shang He's gaze, and tried his best to control his facial expression, making himself look a bit dazed.
Mr. He said: "Because of some mistakes, you and Jiang Chen had the wrong hug. In fact, you are not a child of our He family, but a child of Jiang Chen's parents."
"How, how is it possible?" He Qianjian's eyes widened in astonishment, and he didn't dare to say: "I'm not the son of my parents? I don't believe it! Impossible, impossible, I can't be the son of my parents, Grandpa, you You lied to me, didn't you?"
The decree lines at the corners of Mr. He's mouth deepened, he sighed silently and did not speak.
"Mom, Mom!" He Qianjian turned his head and grabbed Yang Yun's hand: "Am I really not your son? I don't believe it, you told me it was fake."
Seeing He Qianjian's red eyes, Yang Yun felt a little nervous: "Even if you return to Jiang's house, you are still mother's child."
"Impossible!" He Qianjian looked at He Yanjun and He Yanya: "Uncle and aunt, tell me, is this true!?"
He Yanjun and He Yanya glanced at each other, feeling a little unbearable.
He Qianmin moved closer to Jiang Chen's ear, and said in a low voice, "He can't perform well today, his expression looks like he's choking on mustard."
Jiang Chen was a little surprised at He Qianjian's resilience at first, but now he heard He Qianmin's words, and seeing He Qianjian's open mouth and red eyes, he couldn't hold back his lips and smiled silently.
He Qianjian was brewing tears at first, but seeing Jiang Chen's flashing smile and hatred flashing across his face, before anyone noticed, he quickly lowered his head and murmured: "So it's like this... No wonder Jiang Chen Chen always shows up at our house, no wonder he can make Qianmin and Qianyu like him so quickly, no wonder he is better than me in everything... I didn't know anything before, it's normal for you to not want me because of him, who let me I can't beat him in anything..."
"Dabao, come to grandma." Mrs. He grabbed He Qianjian's hand, pulled him distressedly and said, "Don't worry, as long as grandma is here, no one can drive you out. Don't be afraid, grandma will protect you."
He Qianjian whimpered and lay down in the arms of Mrs. He, crying loudly.
After He Qianjian finished speaking, He Qianmin's expression became very ugly. Seeing that he was crying so falsely, he stepped forward to speak. Jiang Chen sensed his intention, grabbed his arm without a trace, and shook his head lightly at him.
Mr. He took everything into his eyes, sighed in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, why are you crying, you are already eighteen, and you can't bear this setback?"
He Qianjian remembered the cowardly and fragile character that old man He hated the most, his body froze, his eyes were red when he looked up, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Grandpa, I was just too sad just now, I'm sorry."
"Calm down now?"
He Qianjian nodded, his trembling voice made it hard to believe that he had calmed down, but Mr. He seemed to be unable to see, and said lightly: "Then let's get down to business. Since you two hugged the wrong one, then It must be changed back, now that our He family knows about this matter, the Jiang family probably doesn’t know about it, so we need to find a time to discuss this matter with the Jiang family, when do you two think it’s appropriate?”
He Qianjian's voice was tense: "Listen to grandpa."
Mr. He looked at Jiang Chen, and Jiang Chen looked at him calmly and said, "Grandpa, I have already discussed with my father, and I hope to tell my parents about this in half a year."
He Qianjian raised his head abruptly, almost unable to hide the surprise and joy on his face, He Yanjun and He Yanya were also very surprised, they didn't expect Jiang Chen to push the time so far.
"Half a year?" Mr. He's complexion darkened, his eyes carried the oppression and majesty of being in a high position all year round: "Give me a reason."
"My mother is pregnant." Jiang Chen looked at him, and said without avoiding, "I can't let her get any stimulation."
Mr. He stared at him closely, and after a while, he looked away at He Qianjian, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think about delaying returning to Jiang's house for half a year?"
He Qianjian secretly scolded Jiang Chen as an idiot, suppressed the sudden ecstasy in his heart, pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then murmured: "It is true that elderly pregnant women cannot be stimulated, Grandpa, I have no objection."
"You have no objection?" Mr. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a vague way: "You don't have any idea about when to recognize your biological parents?"
He Qianjian froze, thinking that Mr. He didn't like people who had no opinions, so he decided to give it a go: "I want to stay in the He family! Just like Jiang Chen has no feelings for the He family, I have never met the Jiang family. I also have no feelings for them, so as long as I can stay by your side more, even for one more day, I am willing."
"Could it be that you don't recognize us anymore when you go back to Jiang's house?" Mr. He's eyes were dark, seeing the anxiety hidden in He Qianjian's eyes, he sighed deeply in his heart, raised his hand and said, "You all go out first, I'll talk to Jiang Chen alone."
There were only two people left in the study, Mr. He softened his tone: "Tell me what you think."
"My mother has finally had a second child. I don't want her to be stimulated in any way. This child is the one our family has been looking forward to for a long time. I hope you can understand."
Looking at the young man's clean and clear eyes, Mr. He said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that you were also the child your parents had been looking forward to for a long time, and now they know that their own flesh and blood are unwilling to recognize them? Isn't it sad?"
Jiang Chen pursed his lips, remained silent for a while, and then said, "I will try my best to make it up."
Mr. He shook his head. He and Jiang Chen had only met twice, but at this age, he also had some experience in seeing people. Jiang Chen seemed gentle and polite, but in fact he was hiding alienation. To put it bluntly, this child is Soft and hard do not eat.
Unable to play the emotional card, other aspects are equally difficult to use. Jiang Chen himself is good enough, and with the money, power and status that the He family can give, he alone is enough to stand in a higher position than the He family. And his only weakness is his adoptive father and adoptive mother. If something happened to the He family, I'm afraid that his biological child would not recognize him, and instead he would become an enemy.
Mr. He said: "I can promise you that I will tell your parents your identity after half a year, but during these six months, you have to come back here for two meals a month, and after disclosing your identity, you must change your surname back to He. "
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
