Inertia Dependence of Rebirth

Duan Ling leaned on the opponent's shoulder, half asleep and half awake.At that moment, he had an illusion.The betrayal and tragic death in the previous life may really be just a dream, just to remind him to distinguish between friend and foe, and to let him see clearly the person who truly loves him.

In his previous life, Duan Ling hated Qi Jingrui, why did this person let his feelings almost boil, but he remained calm?At least Duan Ling thought he was "calm".So later, Duan Ling resolutely chose to give up completely.

But now, Duan Ling discovered that Qi Jingrui may not have endured less suffering and pain than him.It's just that he doesn't vent his strong emotions in extreme ways like himself.He was far from being as "calm" as Duan Ling thought.

For example, at this moment, Duan Ling was leaning on him, pressing his face against his neck.Duan Ling noticed that Qi Jingrui's pulse became faster.

When the driver was turning a corner, Duan Ling leaned even harder, slipping from the driver's shoulder onto his chest.

Qi Jingrui paused for a moment, his eyes were complicated.Finally, he hugged him slowly.

Duan Ling exhaled softly, wishing that the road would be longer.But the car drove fast, and they arrived in half an hour.Duan Ling was surprised that the place where he stopped was Duan Zhai.

"No, what are you doing at my house? You just said that everyone is waiting for me... Is that what you mean?"

Qi Jingrui nodded slightly, and walked ahead first.

Duan Ling hurriedly followed and grabbed his hand, "Hey, wait a minute, tell me clearly, what... what can happen to my house here?"

"You'll know when you go in."

"I thought... thought you were going to..." Duan Ling lowered his eyes, showing a slightly disappointed expression.

Hearing this, Qi Jingrui glanced at him, "Why?"

"Cough," Duan Ling immediately shifted his gaze elsewhere, "...it's nothing." But he still didn't let go of his hold on the other party's hand.

Qi Jingrui didn't ask any further questions, and the two walked in silence for a while.

"Later...if you don't know what to say, then keep silent." Before entering, Qi Jingrui reminded.

Duan Ling was a little confused, but he still nodded seriously, and asked after a while, "If they are all my relatives, there should be no taboo, right? What do you want me to say?"

Qi Jingrui said lightly, "You decide for yourself."

Duan Ling gave him a strange look, paused, and walked in with him.

As soon as he entered the hall, Duan Ling was a little dumbfounded.

The main hall of Duan Zhai is very grand, but the style is still very low-key and not luxurious, but at this moment, the whole hall is set up like a banquet.

The servants all stood at the side in unison, with bright lights on the top, and a set of more exquisite accessories, a neat and gorgeous layout, and a large round crystal table in the center of the hall .

Duan Ling couldn't help raising his eyebrows. If he hadn't seen his father, eldest brother, and second brother all sitting at the round table in formal attire, he wouldn't have believed that this was his home.

Of course, the Duan family is the host, and the distinguished guests should sit at the top of the table.Generally speaking, guests can be booked in high-end clubs or restaurants, but if they are invited directly to the main house, it is very solemn, and this guest must be a heavyweight.As the host, he, the young master of the Duan family, didn't show up in time, and it was indeed very rude to release the pigeons without leaving a phone number or saying hello.Although there is only one guest here.

Now, all the people sitting in front of Duan Ling were older than him, and all of them sat upright, no one made a sound, the whole atmosphere was very serious, even a little oppressive.Duan Ling drank too much and his mind was in chaos. He felt that he didn't know the guest, or he just couldn't remember it now.The other party was a beautiful lady, in spite of a certain age, but still radiant.From the moment Duan Ling entered the room, her gaze had been on him, sizing him up quietly.

Duan Ling first looked at the faces of the others, and found that his old man was sullen and didn't look very happy.And the elder brother at the side was winking at him to signal him to come over quickly.Duan Ling saw it, but he didn't move.He sighed imperceptibly, and moved forward slowly.

He didn't know what kind of posture the scene in front of him was, and he didn't know what role he should play, so he was inevitably uneasy, and when encountering uncertain situations, Duan Ling would always subconsciously speculate on the bad side.He firmly remembered what Qi Jingrui had just reminded him - he would rather be silent than talk nonsense.

Duan Ling stood where he was and didn't dare to act rashly, because he was still trying to remember who that person was.He vaguely felt that the lady looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he saw it.

Only Qi Jingrui who was standing next to Duan Ling could notice Duan Ling's slight unease.Others present might have thought that he was too arrogant to come forward.

Old Man Duan frowned, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "I told you before that there will be a very important family dinner tonight, but you haven't come here for a long time, and I haven't seen you until now! Why don't you hurry up and apologize .”

Duan Ling suddenly felt extremely innocent, because in his memory, there was no such thing, it was a family banquet!

The old man raised a step, but before Duan Ling made a sound, the lady in the upper seat smiled lightly. She looked at Duan Ling and said slowly, "Young people always like to make noise. The young master wants to There are probably quite a lot of busy things, and it is already an honor for us to make a special trip back."

Listen carefully to these words, there is actually a hint of irony, but the tone is very natural and familiar.Duan Ling was slightly startled, wondering who this person was.But the brain drugged by alcohol is really weak.

Seeing that Duan Ling didn't express anything, she was about to say a few more words.But Qi Jingrui suddenly took Duan Ling's hand, and then led him straight forward.Duan Ling was held by him like this, so he had to quicken his pace, and they didn't stop until they came to the lady.Qi Jingrui pressed Duan Ling's shoulder to make him sit down, but Duan Ling still felt restless.

The old man coughed and asked, "Where did you go tonight? You didn't answer the phone, and let the lady follow us to worry about it, and it has been exhausting until now."

The old man's reprimand brought the cranky Duan Ling back to his senses, and he quickly said, "Ma'am, I'm really sorry for delaying you for so long due to my personal negligence, I'm sorry."

"You don't need to tell me you're sorry, we're not your family." There was a hint of sarcasm and deliberate alienation in this sentence.

"Since nothing happened to you, then we can rest assured that we can finally leave with peace of mind." She turned her gaze to Mr. Duan again, smiling decently, "Old Duan, thank you so much tonight, the dinner is very good, I hope next time I can come again next time."

The old man smiled and replied: "That's for sure, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you."

After hearing this answer, the madam smiled and waved her hands: "Old Duan, what you said really annoyed me, I really dare not come here in the future, it's too grand." She stood up, raised her hand and straightened The luxurious collar, said: "Let's go, it's already late."

Duan Ling was startled suddenly, who is she talking to?

The old man said: "Why don't you stay at my place tonight, I'll let someone clean up the guest room now."

Madam stopped him, smiled and shook her head, "Don't bother me, you better not keep me, it's been too long, I'm afraid I'm an old bone, I'm disgusting." After saying this meaningful sentence, She just glanced at Duan Ling, but Duan Ling was still in a state of being stunned.

"Mom, put on your coat, it's cold outside."

After hearing these words, Duan Ling was petrified.
