Future Crystal Crown

The old lady said to Feilin: "Feilin, whether he is an adopted son or a parent-child, since he is a member of this family, he should know what is right and wrong. He has the right to know the origin of the family he lives in. He also has the right to The choice is whether to continue to stay in this family. He is an adult and he has the right to choose."

"This..." Ferlin frowned.

Grandma's intentions are actually exactly the direction of development that he is most worried about.

After her two brothers left, her mother raised Qiu painstakingly. If Qiu chose to leave because of her mother's past, wouldn't she lose all her children?Isn't that unfair to her?

For a long time, Feilin deliberately blocked the news of his grandmother because he was afraid that his grandmother would have such thoughts.Hearing Fei Li's words today, he rushed over immediately to prevent grandma from brainwashing Qiu.

However, it seems that I am still late.

Feilin turned his head and looked at Qiu who was standing there.He found that Qiu was also looking at him, his black eyes focused on waiting for him to tell him.

Ferlin thought for a while, and although it was difficult, he still spoke. "Qiu, Mom is the first heir to the Rand family, and she is legally the widow of Dean Haynes. According to their marriage contract, all her children are either named Haynes or Rand. You can't have someone else's last name."

"Huh?" Qiu didn't expect his mother to sign such an agreement.

"Ahem," Mrs. Rand cleared her throat. "Qiu, as an adopted son, you enjoy the same treatment as a parent and child. As a child of the Rand family, I will not let you go. I will give you the honor and treatment I gave to your brothers. As long as you are in front of you Add the word Rand in the middle of some surnames, and you can enter our family tree. You can get help from the family just like your brothers. That means honor, status and wealth."

Mrs. Land raised her chin proudly.Make your promises with the voice of a queen. "I can assure you that you will advance in the career you love, get the best resources, and have the highest authority. You will struggle at least 20 years less than your colleagues."

Mrs. Land was very confident.At the same time, her abacus was also very shrewd.Qiu was already an adult, and it was impossible to snatch him away like the way he took away the custody of Feilin and Feili back then.But money and status are things that every man likes. As long as he is generous enough, there is no reason for this small officer who is at the bottom of the ranks to refuse.

As long as he is willing to listen to his orders, then the following things will be much easier to handle, and he will definitely achieve the result he has always wanted.

She is quite confident in her plan.

"Lieutenant, answer me now, do you want my help?" Mrs. Rand's voice was resounding.

"Qiu, you have to think clearly before answering." Ferlin warned worriedly.

"Qiu, you really need to think clearly, such an opportunity will not always come." Mrs. Rand's instigation was even more tempting.

"……"mound.

All eyes were on Qiu, but Qiu stood motionless.

At this moment, he thought of the painting in Brother Philip's room, the beautiful Cook Manor, where he grew up.And adoptive mother Laura is the family who accompanied him and brought him joy.

The conditions offered by the grandmother are certainly heart-warming, but the helpless mother, do you want to be hurt like this?

Qiu raised his eyes and met the old lady's burning gaze firmly. "I'm sorry, grandma, I can't accept your gift, I choose mother."

"Phew." Ferlin heaved a sigh of relief.

But the old lady's voice suddenly increased. "Tell me why, you are already an adult, can't you wean you? What else can your mother give you besides comforting you on the phone? Does she help you in the future?"

"Grandma, I don't need anything more from my mother. This is what I want to give to my mother." Qiu was also a little excited.

"What do you want to give her?" The old lady didn't understand.

"My mother gave me endless love since I was a child. Now that I have grown up, I want to give my love to my mother. Since my brothers have already chosen my grandmother, I should choose my mother even more." Qiu's expression was calm and calm. , neither humble nor overbearing.As if talking about something that shouldn't be considered.

"Confused!" Mrs. Rand slapped the arm of the chair heavily. "It's just that you feel sorry for her and you have to choose her. So where do you put yourself? Don't you want to be responsible for your own future?"

Qiu stood where he was, bravely meeting the old lady's fire-breathing gaze. "I have made a decision. This is my inner choice. Even if you are not satisfied, I will stick to it."

"Persist even if it's not right?!" The anger in the old lady's eyes gradually turned bright.

Once upon a time, a young man stood in front of her like this and said to her innocently: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I have already made up my mind, this is my inner choice, even if you are not satisfied, I will stick to it."

The exact same words rang in my ears again after more than twenty years.Mrs. Land felt as if she had been teased by fate.

"Okay, very good. You are really a good boy taught by Laura." Mrs. Rand squeezed out the words through her teeth.The menacing old man shook like a candle in the wind, and every strand of his hair was like a burning flame.Stubborn, she held her breath, pointed her trembling fingers at the young man in front of her, and uttered the most ruthless sentence from her mouth. "Those who want to walk sideways, first learn to crawl on their knees!"

After finishing speaking, the old lady started the wheelchair, bypassed Qiu and quickly left in the direction of the door.

"Hey, grandma, don't be like this, grandma?" Feilin chased after her.Others also followed out.In an instant, the room was empty, only Qiu and Feili were left in the room.

Qiu thought about what he said, and he didn't think there was anything wrong. He looked at Fei Li who was silent, and asked stubbornly, "Brother, am I wrong?"

Feili sat expressionlessly, with a helpless expression on his face. After a while, he squinted at Qiu: "It doesn't matter whether you are right or wrong. The important thing is that you have offended a woman who cannot be offended."

Qiu looked at his brother, not quite understanding why he was depressed.I have been so mixed up that I have no relatives or friends, what else can my grandmother do to me, the worst thing is to carry boxes.

***

However, Qiu still underestimated grandma's ability.

The consequences of offending this woman who cannot be offended are unimaginable.

Qiu received the transfer order the next day, and was transferred from the confidential data room to report on a remote satellite far away from Emperor Planet.

There is a fully enclosed warehouse area that is almost abandoned by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the job waiting for him is, to put it bluntly, like a prison.

Qiu bumped all the way to this dilapidated underground fortification.Looking at the dark and damp corridors with criss-cross pipes and the sound of dripping water from time to time, I felt a sense of dread.

He thought that maybe he would be sent to work as a coolie in a place where the working conditions might be very poor, but he never expected to be so miserable.

The sky is shielded by the high-voltage ionosphere. It is a chaotic mass, and the sun rises and the moon sets cannot be seen clearly.The ground is uneven and severely corroded by rainwater. All kinds of bricks and tiles and construction waste left over from the moving house are piled up randomly...

If the intercom system on the outer wall of the warehouse was not still working normally, I would have suspected that I had suddenly traveled through thousands of years and returned to the era when human beings were still fighting against aliens every day on the earth.

The facilities in the warehouse are also very backward, and the big iron gate is still controlled by magnets.The interior of the warehouse is very large, with basements tens of meters deep criss-crossing like a labyrinth.There are a large number of various experimental products that no one cares about.

The administrator's humble office consists of a desk, a computer and a chair.

A Lanwawa lamp hung above the table, like the morgue of some large funeral home.

There is no Internet, no TV, and no communication signals of any kind.Except for a telephone, there is no clue to connect with the outside world.

The computer is a dusty old machine.There are only three files in it: the floor distribution map, the item arrangement map and the inspection route map.

The officer who brought him here told Qiu.The job of the administrator is to inspect every place every day, to check whether every storeroom, every glass cabinet on every floor is safe and sound, and to ensure that the water and electricity of this huge underground bunker can continue to operate.

The administrator's dormitory is a small warehouse next to the office. Like the office, it also has simple furniture, and the lights are blue. Turning on the light is more terrifying than not turning on the light.

The only warm color in the entire warehouse is in the bathroom in the corner of the bedroom, which houses an orange lamp.This is to let the administrator know that he still has a breath of life when he washes up in the mirror every day.

The warehouse originally had a warehouse management.He was a one-eyed old man with only one arm and one leg injured on the battlefield.According to legend, his poor health and temperament offended his superiors, so he was deliberately arranged in this dark place, where he worked for 17 years.

This year he reached the retirement age, and he filed a report to ask for a replacement.So in exchange for a childish-looking little lieutenant, Qiu.

The ferocious-looking old Kuguan showed surprise in his one-eyed eyes when he saw Qiu.

"Boy, the person you offended is not small. The [-] hells are not accessible to ordinary people. I was punished to come here after causing a catastrophe. What about you? What did you do?" the old man was curious. to inquire.

"..." Qiu didn't speak.It was my grandma who offended me. The grandma I met for the first time gave me such a gift. Can I believe this kind of thing?I don't even believe it!

"Oh, you are young." The old Kuguan looked at Qiu and sighed. "Let me advise you, if you know who has offended you, it may be too late to bow your head and admit your mistake. It's nothing more than looking down on yourself. Don't be like me, wasting half of your life here to keep a worthless secret. Now think about it , How worthless? Even if I win, so what? People, you have to treat yourself better, think about it yourself."

After finishing talking, the old man packed up his things and left with his bedding.
