Chapter 68:
Let Pei Jing make his own decision
Not only the used pillows and quilts, but also a lot of things were thrown out, and they landed at Pei Jing's feet. He looked down and saw that his teeth were biting his lower lip. Pressing tightly, it takes a lot of restraint to not cry.
Pei Jing walked inside, this is the place where he has lived for a long time, and everything around him is already familiar, but Pei Jing has never regarded this as a real home, especially after knowing that it was lent to them by that annoying uncle that day. After living in the house.
It's just that his own things were thrown out ruthlessly, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Those are very cherished things. Pei Jing had never slept with such a soft pillow or covered him with such a light and warm quilt when he lived with his grandmother since he was a child.
White things are the easiest to get dirty. If there is a little dust on it, Pei Jing will take it off carefully, but now those clean and white quilts are thrown on the ground casually, as if mocking his previous love.
Si Tian walked behind Pei Jing, holding Ji Zhile by one hand, and Ji Ningyi had already run up to follow Pei Jing.
Seeing everything around her, Ji Zhile asked ignorantly, "Mom, is Brother Pei Jing moving again?"
Only those who move will throw these things out, but it hasn't been long since Pei Jingcai moved here.
Si Tian didn't speak, but just rubbed Ji Zhile's soft hair.
There was no Pei Zhen in the house, only a few middle-aged women in work uniforms with the words XX clean printed on the back of the uniforms.
Pei Jing stepped forward and asked one of the people who was moving the sofa: "Auntie, why are you throwing away these things?"
His complexion looked bad, but he still asked the complete sentence politely.
Ji Ningyi said: "We live next door, and Pei Jing used to live here."
When the cleaner saw the two children, his voice was sweet and obedient, and he was willing to explain: "The owner asked us to clean it up, and he gave us the keys. Are you tenants?"
Si Tian said: "Yes, we want to take away the child's schoolbag and clothes, but his mother is not there, the child has no keys, and cannot take things. We are neighbors, and the child has been living in our house for a while, and he has no books for school. "
Si Tian knows that middle-aged aunts like this are the most enthusiastic, and those who sell miserably are the most useful, and she also proved that she lives next door, and the people who can live here are either rich or expensive, and they don't covet other people's homes. thing.
Sure enough, the cleaning aunt said: "Then take the children to get it, the owner asked us to clean up the house, and all the used things in it will be thrown away. If you come later, these will all be gone."
Si Tian asked Ji Ningyi to take Pei Jing upstairs to get the schoolbag, and she went downstairs to inquire about the news with these aunts.
As soon as Ji Ning felt Pei Jing's depression, he took Pei Jing's arm and said, "Pei Jing, you can live in our house."
Pei Jing gave a low "hmm", pushed open the familiar door, picked up his schoolbag, and started to pack his clothes in silence.
Ji Ningyi was helping him, Pei Jing had very few clothes, and there were two new sets that Pei Zhen bought for him recently. At that time, he thought his mother had changed, and he was willing to live with his mother in the future. Be nice to mom.
But I didn't expect to be thrown in the amusement park in the end. Until now, Pei Zhen hasn't come back, and Pei Jing doesn't even know where she went.
Pei Jing hid the money he had saved in the closet. He took it out and put it in his schoolbag, and stuffed some clothes into it.
Ji Ningyi found a pocket, helped him put the rest of his clothes into the pocket, and asked, "Pei Jing, do you have anything else to take away?"
There are many traces of life, and there are many bits and pieces, but Pei Jing looked around and found that none of them belonged to him.
He shook his head: "No need."
Ji Ning felt that Pei Jing was very pitiful, and asked him in a low voice: "Do you want to take some of your mother's things back?"
Pei Jing grabbed the hand of the schoolbag and froze for a moment, then said: "No, let's go, Ning Yi."
Until he went downstairs, Pei Jing did not enter Pei Zhen's room to take a look.
Downstairs, Si Tian got acquainted with one of the aunts, and the aunt was still sighing: "It's a poor child, even if you get divorced, you can't leave the child here."
Si Tian vaguely talked about the matter with the aunt, and made up some things, and the aunt thought that the owner of the house divorced Pei Jing's mother, and it turned out that the two adults did not want children, and they felt pity for them immediately, and said a lot about themselves know things.
The owner of the house asked them to disturb the sanitation, to clean up and throw away everything, and the coldness was down to the bone.
Si Tian got the information she wanted, and saw Pei Jing and Ji Ningyi going downstairs together, Pei Jing was carrying a bag with his schoolbag on his back, and Ji Ningyi was also carrying the small bag.
When the aunt saw it, she quickly asked, "Have you packed everything? You can take away everything you need, and you have to throw away everything."
What the employer said was to leave nothing in the room.
Pei Jing nodded: "I have taken all my things."
When he came to a new place from his grandmother's house, he carried a schoolbag and a bag in the same way, and it was exactly the same when he left.
After Si Tian bid farewell to the aunt and took the three children back, Ji Zhile asked, "Will brother Pei Jing stay at our house tonight?"
Pei Jing was a little nervous when he heard this. He knew that he had nothing to do with the Ning family, and he was also worried that Ji Zhile didn't like him.
Si Tian said, "That's right."
Ji Zhile said happily: "Then it's time for Brother Pei Jing to sleep with me tonight, remember."
A shallow smile appeared on Pei Jing's pale face: "I will remember."
After returning home, Pei Jing put his things in a pocket, which only occupied a small space. He stood by the window and saw the place where he used to live next door, and the same things were taken out and thrown on the On the garbage truck, he realized clearly that he would never go to this place again in his life, and his mother would never come back.
When Ji Jiangzhou came back in the evening, Si Tian told him what happened today, and at the same time Ji Jiangzhou also brought back the information he had investigated.
The owners next door, Tao Sheng and Pei Zhen, used to be a couple, but they broke up due to various reasons. Pei Zhen is a waiter in the clubhouse, and Tao Sheng is a second-generation son. Two people understand.
After Pei Zhen became pregnant, she went back to her hometown to give birth to the child, and she left the child with Grandma Pei Jing. She didn't contact her very much after that, but she brought Pei Jing with her this year because she thought Pei Jing was Tao Sheng's child. Tao Sheng is still unmarried, and she wants to renew their relationship with Tao Sheng through their children.
As for Tao Sheng's thoughts, Ji Jiangzhou also understood clearly.
It was Yu Bo who told Ji Jiangzhou. Although they are all in the same circle, Ji Jiangzhou has nothing to do with the other second-generation sons. In Yu Bo's words, Ji Jiangzhou is a workaholic.
Yu Boyi's wine and meat friend has a good relationship with Tao Sheng and knows the inside story.
It turned out that after Pei Zhen and Tao Sheng met again, the two got mixed up again. When Pei Zhen wanted to marry Tao Sheng, she remembered the child she had had before, took Pei Jing to her side, and told her about the incident. Tell Tao Sheng.
At first, Tao Sheng thought that Pei Jing was really his child, and his attitude towards Pei Zhen was better. He didn't know it until the paternity test. He felt that he was being played by someone, and wanted to get revenge. Seeing the opportunity sent, he also begged for reconciliation.
Tao Sheng didn't have any sincerity towards Pei Zhen, and now he was teasing others, and told many friends about it. Anyway, he was asking Pei Zhen to go abroad with him under the pretense of elopement, but the Tao family took it seriously. , it must not be discovered.
Pei Zhen thought of this idea, and on the surface she took Pei Jing to the kindergarten, but actually took the opportunity to elope.
Si Tian was shocked when she heard it, she felt that such a **** and mentally handicapped plot actually appeared next to her, it wasn't in her age, why is there such a thing as elopement, people want to be with you There are a lot of ways. The key is that Pei Zhen actually believed it, and even used Pei Jing as a cover-up, without thinking about Pei Jing at all.
"What about now?" Si Tian asked.
Ji Jiangzhou said: "Tao Sheng has returned to China, and Pei Zhen has also returned, but now people don't know where they are."
Yu Bo knew that Ji Jiangzhou was inquiring about Pei Jing's child, and he had better information on this matter than Ji Jiangzhou. After Tao Sheng returned to China, he gathered a bunch of wine and meat friends to play in the club, treating it as a joke Speak out.
"Who knows where Pei Zhen is now, I took her out of the country to play for a while and brought her back, it's the best of humanity."
"Marry? It's a good idea. Even if I want to get married, I won't find a woman who has a child with someone else."
Yu Bo's face was cold, and he judged the matter with a sarcasm in his tone: "I guess I don't have the face to face people, it's really stupid."
Si Tian only felt sad when she heard this.
Pei Zhen thought that elopement for love was just a game played by the rich young master.
She took her son to the amusement park as a cover and then abandoned him, which hurt the person who was most sincere to her. The child's love for parents is the one that needs the least return and reason.
Si Tian felt that love brain should be included in the world's major diseases, and that it would not be reimbursed by medical insurance.
She looked at Ji Jiangzhou, and asked quietly: "Is this kind of thing common in your circle?"
Ji Jiangzhou frowned and corrected: "It's not us, it's them. I'm not clear about this, but Yu Bo told me."
Ji Jiangzhou made a clear distinction between himself and other people, and didn't mind pulling Yu Bo to take the blame at all.
Si Tian said: "Then Pei Jing definitely can't live with his father, even if Pei Zhen thinks it over and comes back later, she can't be with her."
Ji Jiangzhou said: "Let Pei Jing make his own decision, he has the right to know the truth."
It was just about the truth that they learned that Pei Zhen took him to the amusement park and abandoned him. The two decided to beautify it a little, not wanting to cause a second trauma to Pei Jing.
Pei Jing was still a little nervous facing the two adults. He sat upright and asked politely, "Auntie and uncle, what's the matter?"
Si Tian said softly, "Pei Jing, we know something about your parents, do you want to know?"
Pei Jing lowered his eyelashes, and his long eyelashes cast a light shadow under his eyes. He was silent for a few seconds and then nodded: "I want to know."
His voice was a bit harsh, but his tone was firm. He wanted to know why his father had never appeared in his life, and why his mother didn't want him. Obviously, he had tried his best to be a sensible child.
Ji Jiangzhou told the truth about the situation with Pei Jing's father, and tried to state it from an objective point of view. Although as an adult, he has his own judgment that it would be better for Pei Jing to follow them, but children are also subjective and thinking people, and they will also Respect Pei Jing's decision.
After learning that his own father didn't know about his existence, and that he had many children, Pei Jing squeezed his clothes tightly, then shook his head: "I won't go back, if he doesn't know, I don't know."
Si Tian felt that Pei Jing's choice was correct, and it seemed that their love brain did not affect their IQ.
She told Pei Jing that Pei Zhen took him to the amusement park because she wanted to play with him, and she left because she wanted to go abroad with others, because she couldn't take children out, so she left Pei Jing in the amusement park.
Si Tian didn't want to beautify Pei Zhen completely, in case Pei Zhen came back in the future, she would still grab Pei Jing's wool. After all, Pei Jing is the hero of the original text, and generally speaking, he will have the luck of the protagonist.
She just modified Pei Zhen's motives a little so that Pei Jing would not look too instrumental, at least there was still a little warmth in the amusement park.
Pei Jing kept his head down when he was listening, as quiet as a shadow, after Si Tian finished speaking, he gently touched his head: "Don't feel bad for Pei Jing, it's good for you to live in our house, right? "
Pei Jing's eyes were a little sore, he nodded, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't speak.
He is not easy to fool like ordinary six or seven-year-old children. When he lived with his grandmother, he met many people and learned a lot about human nature.
If mother really wants to go abroad suddenly and can't take him out so she can let him stay in the amusement park, then she can hand him over to the uncle in the security booth to pick him up, or tell him that he can find his way home by himself .
But just asking him to wait, he waited obediently, even though he already knew in his heart that he was abandoned, he was still waiting.
Mom made a promise, and he will do it obediently.
He knew that his mother didn't want him anymore, so he made him wait and didn't tell him anything.
Aunt Si Tian said this because she didn't want him to be sad. Pei Jing knew everything, but he wouldn't expose it. He carefully cared for some kindness given by life.
"Then Pei Jing, do you want to live with us?"
Pei Jing's fingers were twisted together, he felt that he was a burden, and he had nothing to do with Aunt Si Tian and the others.
"Dong dong dong" at this time there was a knock on the door, muffled and hasty.
There is a doorbell at home, and there are very few people who knock on the door like this. Si Tianxin thinks that she didn't order takeaway today.
Ji Jiangzhou got up to open the door. As soon as he opened it, an old man in his sixties dressed in blue-gray clothes asked in very unskilled Mandarin, "Is Pei Jing here?"
Hearing the familiar accent, Pei Jing suddenly raised his head and looked towards the door.
The child who had been biting his lower lip tightly and holding back tears, suddenly had red eyes, and his voice choked up: "Grandma."
