Inertia Dependence of Rebirth

"Even if I'm not on the genealogy, I won't be recognized," Shen Jingyan finally said out, "but the old man will still recognize Shen Kuang, and he has already. Even if you don't think about it, he is still your brother."

"You can deny my father, but you can't deny him!" Shen Jingyan pulled Shen Kuang to stand up, "He also has the right to inherit!"

Qi Jingrui looked indifferent.

"I can only blame your Qi family for being so disappointing. There are only two men in the direct lineage, and they are all under my name. They are all my sons." Shen Jingyan raised his head, with a strange half-smile on his face, "Do you really think that Shen Kuang is not as honorable as you? He is the same as you. Regardless of status, status, or birth, you are all the same! It's just that you are Qi Yan's child, and he is Qi Shu's child." Especially in the eyes of the old man, there is no difference between you and him."

"I came to you this time just to resolve the matter of inheritance peacefully, so that both you and Shen Kuang will have it. Even if the Qi family refuses to recognize me, as long as there are two sons, it is enough, but what about you? You use this Attitude towards me?!"

Duan Ling sneered unabashedly, "How dare you talk about a peaceful settlement? A person like you should have nothing! Obviously you cheated first, I'm sorry Ma'am, but now you're pretending to be a victim? Do you still want us to be grateful to you? ? It's disgusting!"

Shen Jingyan turned his head to stare at Duan Ling, his eyes were burning.Shen Kuang also stared at Duan Ling. He just thought Duan Ling looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his identity for a while, so he asked in a nasty voice, "Who the hell are you! It's not your turn to talk here, get out of here." Go aside!"

"It's you who should get out."

After Qi Jingrui finished speaking, he pulled Duan Ling behind him, without even wanting to look at the two of them, he said to the housekeeper next to him, "Give it off."

The housekeeper understood, and took the two bodyguards at the door to Shen Jingyan's side, and said half politely and half threateningly: "Mr. Shen, it's already late, please go back."

Shen Jingyan looked at Qi Jingrui, he could no longer hold the false smile on his face, and gradually became alienated and indifferent.

"This is your own choice, don't blame me in the future, just wait and see!" Then Shen Jingyan grabbed Shen Kuang and strode away angrily.

Duan Ling looked at the backs of those two people, and unconsciously clenched Qi Jingrui's hand.

"Oh..." He sighed softly, then turned his head to look at Qi Jingrui, "Are you willing to tell me what's going on now? It's okay if you don't want to."

"You should have guessed it."

"Indeed, I guessed it, but, that Shen Kuang is also from the Qi family?"

Qi Jingrui nodded, leaned on the sofa and turned his face sideways, the hair on his forehead was slightly scattered, slightly covering his eyebrows and eyes, he looked a little tired.

"That man is like an illegitimate child."

"Wait! You just said, like?" Duan Ling looked at Qi Jingrui in surprise, "I thought he was an illegitimate child, why, isn't he?"

Qi Jingrui was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "He is Qi Shu's child. Qi Shu is my mother's cousin, eight years younger than my mother, and about the same age as Shen Jingyan."

"Eight years apart?"

"Ah."

Now it was Duan Ling's turn to be silent.In fact, he has seen and heard a lot of these things in the upper class since he was a child, and Duan Ling understood after Qi Jingrui mentioned it a little.

The young and charming Shen Jingyan made Qi Yan, the eldest daughter of the Qi family, fall in love with him and impregnated her, so as to climb up the Qi family.But the old man did not recognize this extremely wealthy son-in-law in the outer circle.Moreover, Shen Jingyan actually didn't love this woman who was eight years older than him, even though she was graceful and luxurious.Perhaps, he prefers Qi Shu, who is about the same age as him, even if this liking is cheap, it will be a bargaining chip in future transactions with the Qi family.Later, Qi Shu became pregnant.If the old man knew about this scandal early on, he would definitely let her abort the child.But Qi Shu kept it a secret.Moreover, she was afraid that the matter would be exposed at the time, and as soon as she found out that she was pregnant, she quickly married someone in the circle. Her husband even thought that the child in Qi Shu's womb was the child of the two of them.In the end, Qi Shu gave birth to the child and raised it.After Shen Kuang became an adult, the old man had to accept it.

Duan Ling said: "So Shen Kuang is already an adult, right? I don't think he's much younger than you. So, it doesn't mean that Shen Jingyan and..." Duan Ling quickly stopped Huatou.

Of course Qi Jingrui knew what Duan Ling said next, and as soon as he thought about it, his eyes became extremely cold, "You are right, when my mother was pregnant with me, he often went out to fool around."

"At that time, Qi Shu often came to visit her mother, and she was very happy. Later, I found out that Qi Shu was only here to see Shen Jingyan."

"Two years ago, Shen Kuang's identity was brought out by Qi Shu and Shen Jingyan, and the Qi family desperately wanted to suppress this scandal. Everyone was not allowed to leave the mansion, and they were tightly controlled."

"Two years ago..." Duan Ling murmured, suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously said, "Is it the day you left?"

Qi Jingrui was silent for a while, then raised his head to look at Duan Ling, and nodded slowly.

"Sorry, I couldn't tell you why at that time."

Duan Ling tried to say in a joking and relaxed tone, it doesn't matter.But he found that he couldn't even say a word.

It felt like the heart was being squeezed tightly by someone.

It's a little hard to breathe.

Duan Ling anxiously avoided the other party's calm gaze, lowered his head heavily, and slowly clenched his hands hanging by his sides, getting tighter and tighter, until the light blue veins on the back of his hands became extremely abrupt.

"What's wrong?" Qi Jingrui asked with some doubts.He reached out and brushed the hair that was blocking Duan Ling's face behind his ears, Duan Ling quickly stopped his movement, and instead held the other's fingers tightly.

"I'm sorry." Duan Ling said.He raised his other hand and rubbed his eyes, then took a deep breath, trying to calm down.After a few minutes, he looked up again.

Duan Ling looked at the person in front of him, and slowly repeated a sentence.

"sorry."

Qi Jingrui also looked at Duan Ling, his dark eyes looked very deep, he just stared at Duan Ling for a while, then lowered his eyebrows, "Duan Ling, in fact, you didn't do anything wrong to me. I was not well at that time. Where to go, I don't want to explain many things."

"That's because you were too tired from all these messy things at the time, and I was tossing about again, so you didn't want to talk more. I can understand that feeling."

"At that time, I was very unconfident, very scared, and even hated that you repeatedly made me experience the feeling of gaining but losing... So, I couldn't control myself."

"The me at that time made you feel even more tired? So you said you want to separate from me, separate..."

Seeing Duan Ling defending him like this, Qi Jingrui couldn't help curling his lips.He lowered his eyes, and when he raised his head again, his face was calm, but his heart was warm. This kind of warmth dispelled the previous fatigue and chills.

Qi Jingrui suddenly wanted to hug Duan Ling and kiss him...

However, Duan Ling was one step ahead of him.He first let go of Qi Jingrui's fingers, and then stretched out his arms to wrap around his neck.

"It seems that we took a detour, but fortunately, I found you back after all."

Even if it is the price of the previous lifetime in exchange for it.

Duan Ling's words are quite out of context, but based on the tacit understanding between them, how could Qi Jingrui not understand?

He smiled knowingly, "What if I don't want you?" He made a rare joke.

Duan Ling raised his head and kissed him without saying a word, "No, you have to accept me, otherwise people like me will have nowhere to go."

"Let me think about it..."

Duan Ling couldn't restrain his impulse, and he finally couldn't help biting the opponent's lips lightly.

The expression on Duan Ling's face was an obsession and fanaticism that he couldn't see himself.

"Alright, it's very late now." Qi Jingrui called out, and then pulled Duan Ling to stand up.Duan Ling's movements were interrupted, which made him finally regain some reason from the confusion.

"You stay here to sleep tonight, there are many rooms upstairs."

Duan Ling subconsciously said, "Can't I sleep with you?"

"I'll lie down on the sofa and not go back to my room. I should leave in three hours."

Duan Ling saw a trace of exhaustion on Qi Jingrui's face, indeed, he was really tired today.

"Can you not go?" Duan Ling felt distressed, "You need to rest."

"I have an appointment." Qi Jingrui leaned back on the sofa again, then shook Duan Ling's hand, "Didn't you also have an appointment at ten o'clock? Now there are only eight hours left, go to sleep. "

Duan Ling stood still.

Qi Jingrui rubbed his hair, "Be obedient."

Duan Ling turned around and left with a snort, but got down with two pillows three minutes later.

"Anyway, the sofa is big enough!"

Qi Jingrui reluctantly persuaded him a few more words, but Duan Ling didn't listen, instead he tended to talk more and more.In the end, Qi Jingrui had no choice but to give up and let him go.

In the end, neither of them lay down, but leaned side by side on the sofa.They didn't talk anymore, Qi Jingrui closed his eyes, but just like Duan Ling, he couldn't fall asleep.

Duan Ling was worried that his restlessness would disturb Qi Jingrui who was resting with his eyes closed, so he got up quietly, poured himself a glass of warm water and drank it, only then did he feel a little warmer in his palms.

The Qi residence is a huge one, located in the eastern suburbs.In the middle of the night, there is boundless silence all around.Duan Ling also turned off the light in the living room, and then quietly sat back on the sofa.

Qi Jingrui waited for a long time but couldn't feel Duan Ling leaning down.A few minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw Duan Ling sitting motionless in the darkness with the light of the moon, bending his waist slightly.

He was keenly aware that something was wrong with Duan Ling.

"Duan Ling, what's wrong with you?" Qi Jingrui asked.

Duan Ling sighed deeply, but said nothing.

Like being extremely tired and sad.

Now Qi Jingrui also sat up and grabbed his hand, "Duan Ling, are you alright?"

"Can you tell me what's wrong with my aunt?" Duan Ling panicked, "I saw the medicine on her cabinet, and my mother took it when I was a child. Isn't that kind of painkiller only used in the late stages of cancer? Is it..." When he said the last sentence, the tremor in Duan Ling's voice was extremely obvious.

Qi Jingrui slowly held his hand, the warmth from his palm was transmitted to Duan Ling's cold fingertips.

"The brain tumor, but it is benign, was detected two years ago, and it was treated at that time."

"Don't worry, it's recovering well."

"That painkiller was prescribed by a doctor to relieve headaches."

Duan Ling's hanging heart finally let go.At that moment, he even felt a sense of powerlessness.

Qi Jingrui gently pulled Duan Ling into his arms, grabbed his hand, and placed it closest to his heart.
