CHAPTER 6
Chapter 6: The Cruel Birth Mother
“Let go.”
Li Qi coldly pulled his hand away. Only then did Chen Jiamu realize he was still holding Li Qi’s wrist.
“Hey, don’t keep making that face; I’m not going to do anything to you.”
“Young people should have some vitality, don’t always be so gloomy; it’s not good.”
Frowning and wiping the sweat from his forehead, Chen Jiamu started rambling again. He felt that Li Qi’s solitary personality disorder might be due to always being alone.
If he could help him open up, wouldn’t he be able to walk sideways in Beicheng?
Although he was already pretty much walking sideways, if Li Qi also became his little brother, it would be even more awesome!
“Did the Chen family enroll you in a police academy?”
“What does my appearance have to do with you?”
“Do you think that because I stabbed you twice, I should feel guilty and obey your orders?”
“Chen Jiamu, you think too highly of yourself. You got stabbed, it’s your own fault. You bullied one person; you’re in the right?”
“If it weren’t for your Chen family’s status, do you think your so-called little brothers would have tolerated you?”
“They obey you, but I won’t. If you’re not happy, you can go back and tell your parents, let Li Ru teach me a lesson.”
“Otherwise, I’ll scold you every time I see you.”
A black T-shirt, gray pants, cold eyes, cold pale lips. Li Qi was clearly standing in the sunlight, but when his words fell, Chen Jiamu felt an icy coldness wash over his entire body.
An inexplicable chill rose from his tailbone, gradually spreading throughout his body.
Lowering his eyes, Chen Jiamu clenched his fists tightly. At that moment, he felt his blood freeze on his face…
He couldn’t hear anything.
This was the first time someone had spoken to him so bluntly, directly hitting the pain point deep in his heart.
Since elementary school, he had understood that because of the Chen family, the teachers and principals treated him differently. In high school, the contrast was even more obvious. After that incident, he had never been punished…
But so what? Being born into a wealthy family is a skill, and Chen Jiamu had no choice.
Besides, he hadn’t done anything heinous. That day he attacked Li Qi, it was simply to scare him. He didn’t really intend to pour mop water into his mouth; who knew Li Qi would go so crazy…
Just thinking about his reckless disregard for his own life made Chen Jiamu shiver…
So, should he continue?
Slowly releasing his clenched fists, Chen Jiamu let out a long breath, ruffled his messy hair and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
He needed to pee…
For several days, Li Qi avoided Chen Jiamu. Chen Jiamu, unfamiliar with the school, couldn’t find him.
It wasn’t until school was about to let out for vacation that Chen Jiamu decided to wait at the school gate.
He didn’t believe Li Qi wouldn’t go home for vacation!
He had originally thought of giving up, but Chen Cheng said he shouldn’t have any conflict with Li Qi. Even if they couldn’t be friends, they shouldn’t become enemies.
But most of the students had already left, and he still hadn’t found Li Qi. Looking at the increasingly empty school gate, Chen Jiamu sighed, glanced at the time, and turned away.
He had a billiards appointment; he could stop Li Qi next time.
Afraid that Chen Cheng would say he was not studying, he specifically told his driver to go back and report that he was at a gathering with classmates.
There were many billiard halls near Beicheng University, but the person he had an appointment with chose a distant one. Chen Jiamu got on his bicycle and pedaled towards the destination.
To avoid the sun, he deliberately chose shady paths.
“Little bitch, don’t think you’ve become a phoenix just because you’ve flown to a branch. Don’t forget, you’re the offspring of this chicken. You can never change that fact!”
“Give me 100,000 yuan, or I’ll expose your shameful past and let you be disgraced!”
Chen Jiamu cycled slowly; he liked the feeling of the breeze flowing into his clothes, cool and comfortable.
Passing an alleyway, he suddenly heard a shrill female voice. The content of the voice was extremely vulgar. Chen Jiamu instinctively frowned and looked towards the source of the sound.
In the dark alley, two people seemed to be talking. The woman wore a pink floral dress, and the tall figure in front of her blocked her appearance; Chen Jiamu couldn’t see her clearly.
But the figure in front of her seemed familiar to Chen Jiamu. A black T-shirt, dark blue jeans, and a black shoulder bag.
It looked very much like Li Qi’s back. The kid always wore a black T-shirt…
Chen Jiamu subconsciously stopped his bicycle, placed his hands on the handlebars, and turned his head to carefully look at the figure.
Li Qi stared intently at the woman who looked very much like him, his fists clenched tightly. How could she find this…
Why wouldn’t she let him go…
“You’re dreaming…”
It was almost a voice squeezed out of his throat; Li Qi’s voice was hoarse.
“Just try it.”
“After three years, you seem to have grown up. Look at your face, it really has the charm I had when I was eighteen.”
“100,000 yuan is like 10 yuan to the Li family. If they don’t give it to you, your face and body would appeal to the owner of the Red Sleeve, so 100,000 yuan wouldn’t be a problem.”
The woman seemed pleased with Li Qi’s reaction. When talking about his face, her tone was filled with pride.
“Zhang Yongmei!”
Li Qi trembled with anger, but his drooping hands couldn’t lift themselves. Memories from three years ago flooded back.
Darkness, beatings, abuse; they were slowly eroding his sanity, making it hard for him even to breathe.
“You still remember my name, it seems I left a deep impression on you.”
“Give you some…”
“Li Qi?”
Chen Jiamu’s voice rang out, like a bolt of lightning, stunning Li Qi’s mind…
Chen Jiamu?
If Li Qi had to choose, he would rather risk being scolded by Li Ru than let Chen Jiamu, whom he disliked the most, see his predicament.
His body stiffening, Li Qi didn’t dare to turn around, hoping that Chen Jiamu would leave after getting no response.
“Oh, your classmate.”
Zhang Yongmei noticed his reaction, a sneer on her lips, then she put on a fawning smile, pushed Li Qi aside, and walked towards Chen Jiamu.
That kid was covered in designer brands, and must be the offspring of a rich person. If she could use him…
Thinking this, Zhang Yongmei’s smile became even more fawning and gentle, “Oh, Xixi’s classmate?”
“I was just talking to him. This child is shy.”
Seeing the woman’s face, Chen Jiamu froze for a moment, then remembered what Chen Cheng had told him. This must be Li Qi’s birth mother?
No wonder Li Qi is so handsome; the genes are there…
Although Zhang Yongmei’s face was now somewhat haggard and aged, the contours of her face still showed that she was once a stunning beauty.
Thinking of what Chen Cheng had told him, he had no good feelings towards this woman.
“Who are you?”
Chen Jiamu put his hands in his pockets, squinting his eyes to scan her up and down, his expression extremely disdainful…
