Lin Suici kept thinking about Pei Chuan all the way, until the car stopped.
"Suici, we're here, get out of the car."
Seeing that he still didn't respond, Jiang Jingyan called him several times, "Suici?"
Lin Suici came back to his senses and met Jiang Jingyan's concerned and worried gaze. Only then did he realize that the scenery outside was very familiar. The car was parked outside the Jiang family villa.
His heart tightened subconsciously, and he couldn't help but clench his fist, his knuckles turning white with force.
Jiang Jingyan got out of the car and walked around to the co-pilot's side to open the car door. He bent down and looked at Lin Suici's pale face, patiently reassuring him:
"It's okay, I will tell them the truth."
"You didn't do anything wrong, it is Jiang Le who is wrong, don't be afraid."
Lin Suici didn't want to go back to the Jiang family. He was afraid of seeing the inexplicable expressions and eyes of Jiang Hongyu and Zhou Wenqian, as if he had done something unforgivable.
The moment Jiang Jingyan led him into the house by the wrist, he felt out of breath.
Walking in from the front yard, the servant who was cleaning the yard looked over in surprise, "Young Master."
Lin Suici felt the servant's gaze fixed on himself, with a hint of surprise and confusion, as if watching the excitement.
"Are both of my parents at home?"
"They are home."
Lin Suici lowered his eyes, like a puppet without self-consciousness, letting Jiang Jingyan lead him towards the house.
In the bright and spacious living room, a middle-aged man with an elegant face is sitting leisurely on the sofa reading a business magazine.
Zhou Wenqian walked over from the kitchen with the fruit, her beautiful and gentle face adorned with a faint smile. "Don't just look at the magazine, eat some fruit."
"Okay, Madam, you've worked hard." Jiang Hongyu put down the magazine, smiled and picked up a small piece of mango with a stick, and personally fed it to Zhou Wenqian's mouth.
Zhou Wenqian opened her mouth to eat the fruit, and sat down beside him, "Jingyan, this child, I don't know where he went, he left early in the morning."
Jiang Hongyu: "By the way, Jingyan and Lele seem to be behaving a little strange these days, and they don't speak to each other. Are the two brothers having a conflict?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenqian's expression became complicated for a moment, she sighed faintly, and hesitated for a moment, "There is indeed a conflict, Jingyan suspects that Lele..."
Just as they were talking, suddenly there was movement outside. When they saw the person walking in, the couple's expressions immediately changed.
Jiang Hongyu's reaction was more intense, and his face immediately became gloomy. He stood up abruptly and said, "Jingyan, why did you bring him back?"
Zhou Wenqian also got up and silently looked at the young man who was following Jiang Jingyan, her face was also ugly, and her eyes were extremely complicated.
Lin Suici raised his eyes to look and met Jiang Hongyu's angry and annoyed gaze, and Zhou Wenqian... He didn't even dare to think about the emotions in those complicated eyes, so he lowered his eyes as if evading.
Jiang Hongyu frowned unhappily, and scolded without mercy: "Lin Suici, I have already told you not to step into the Jiang family again in the future. You have done such a thing to Lele, how can you still have the face to come back!"
"Hongyu, don't get too excited." Zhou Wenqian persuaded him in a low voice.
Lin Suici lightly tugged the corner of his mouth and subconsciously took a step back, with a self-deprecating smile flashing in his downcast eyes.
I really shouldn't have come back.
Jiang Jingyan also frowned slightly, and his grip on Lin Suici's wrist became tighter.
"Mom and Dad, the reason why I am here today is to clarify this matter with you."
Jiang Jingyan said with a serious face: "Suici did not collude with the kidnappers to kidnap Lele. He was wronged, and you all misunderstood him."
Upon hearing these words, both Jiang Hongyu and Zhou Wenqian were stunned.
"Jingyan, what do you mean by this? Lele said it himself. How could we possibly have wronged him?"
Obviously, Jiang Hongyu didn't believe his eldest son's words. Although Zhou Wenqian did not speak, it was evident from her expression that she did not believe it either.
Lin Suici didn't react much to this, he didn't even lift his eyelids, as if he hadn't heard these words, but his face turned a bit pale again, with no blood at all.
Jiang Jingyan turned his head to look at his face with unease, and then looked at his parents, "Lele is behind all this..."
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"
A sudden voice interrupted Jiang Jingyan's words.
Jiang Le walked in briskly from the outside, carrying a shopping bag from a certain shopping mall in his hand. However, after seeing the situation in the living room, his footsteps paused.
His complicated eyes stayed on Lin Suici, but in an instant, he laughed again, "What's going on?"
"Brother Suici, I haven't seen you for so long, when did you come back?" Jiang Le walked up to Lin Suici with a friendly and harmless smile.
Lin Suici only gave him a quiet glance and silently moved aside, seemingly disgusted by Jiang Le's approach.
With Jiang Le's appearance, the burning smell in the air became more and more intense.
Zhou Wenqian, who hadn't spoken much, said to Jiang Le worriedly: "Lele, you go back to your room first."
Jiang Jingyan: "There's no need for that. Since Lele came back, let him explain everything clearly by himself."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hongyu and Zhou Wenqian didn't understand, but Jiang Le realized it all at once, no wonder Lin Suici suddenly came back, it turned out that he wanted to settle accounts with him.
"Lele, now that things are like this, are you still planning to lie?" Jiang Jingyan looked straight into Jiang Le's eyes, with a bit of scrutiny.
"Are you going to admit it yourself, or do you want me to bring the two kidnappers to my parents and let them explain everything clearly to everyone."
Jiang Jingyan has always loved his younger brother very much, and is usually willing to spoil him, but what he did this time is too much. As an older brother, he must educate him well.
Also... Lin Suici didn't do anything, but he suffered so many grievances because of this matter, he must prove his innocence.
Jiang Le didn't understand Jiang Jingyan's behavior.
"Brother, do you really want to do this?" His expression was angry and aggrieved, and his gaze wandered between Jiang Jingyan and Lin Suici. He raised his hand and pointed at Lin Suici with his index finger, with a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.
"Just for the sake of an illegitimate child, you want to embarrass me in front of my parents?"
Jiang Le has been angry at Jiang Jingyan for the past few days, and now Jiang Jingyan has directly brought Lin Suici back, forcing him to admit what he had done, without considering his feelings at all.
His brother clearly knows that he hates Lin Suici, but he is still defending him everywhere.
Jiang Le was so angry that his voice was trembling.
Jiang's father and mother, who didn't know the truth, were at a loss.
Jiang Hongyu frowned and glanced at Lin Suici, who had been keeping his head down without saying anything:"What's going on here? Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"
Zhou Wenqian: "Jingyan, please speak up if you have something to say, don't be so cruel to your brother."
She vaguely guessed something, the last time Jiang Jingyan and Jiang Le quarreled was because of Lin Suici.
"Mom and Dad, since Lele refuses to speak, let me tell you."
Jiang Jingyan looked at Father Jiang and Mother Jiang, and said word by word:
"Those two kidnappers were not hired by Suici, but Lele. He paid the kidnappers to kidnap Suici, and then performed an act with them, in order to wrongly accuse Lin Suici in front of you and drive him out of our house."
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Jiang Le, who had an ugly face on the side, "Am I right, Lele?"
He originally didn't want to press Jiang Le like this, but the other party refused to admit that he had done something wrong and lied repeatedly.
Jiang Le clenched his fists tightly and didn't speak, but Jiang's father and mother were obviously shocked after hearing these words, and it took them a while to react.
Based on one-sided words, Jiang Hongyu naturally would not believe that his beloved little son would do such a thing.
"Jingyan, what are you talking about? How could Lele do that?"
Then he looked at Lin Suici, and said with a sneer on his elegant and gentle face, "Lin Suici, what tricks do you want to play now? Haven't you already done enough last time, and you still want to provoke the relationship between the two brothers this time?"
Jiang Jingyan couldn't listen anymore, and couldn't help but retort: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, Suici is innocent!"
"He's innocent? He's just as scheming as his mother!"
Jiang Hongyu laughed back angrily, and glared at his eldest son, "Jiang Jingyan, what kind of ecstasy soup did he feed you? I know you have a good relationship with Lin Suici behind our back. This is your own private matter, and I can ignore it."
"But do you know what you are doing now? Are you helping an outsider to make things difficult for your own brother?"
"Isn't this embarrassing?"
"What embarrassment?" Jiang Jingyan was very helpless, "Can you calm down and listen to me for a second? Lele is the one who did something wrong..."
Every word and every sentence fell into Lin Suici's ears. He stood silently beside Jiang Jingyan, his pale face becoming numb.
Lin Suici was like an outsider, indifferent to these words, but his tightly clenched fists still betrayed him.
The nails sank deeply into the palm of his hand, but he didn't seem to feel any pain.
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart. The people around him were still arguing, but it was as if he couldn't hear them anymore.
Even if he is innocent, no one will believe him except Jiang Jingyan.
One is the most beloved, obedient and sensible young son, and the other is an illegitimate child who sticks on like a dog's skin plaster with evil intentions.
It's obvious who they will believe.
"Alright, you father and son, stop arguing, and talk clearly if you have something to say!" Zhou Wenqian was so upset by the two of them that she reluctantly interrupted them.
"Lele, tell me yourself, is what your brother said true? Have you ever done those things? No matter what you say, mom will believe you."
Jiang Le seemed to have not heard Zhou Wenqian's words, but just stared at Lin Suici with a complicated expression.
Suddenly, he picked up the ashtray placed on the coffee table next to him and smashed it hard on Lin Suici's head.
