Chapter 966 - Don’t Insult The Word ‘Brothers”! (2)
Qi Lei was not giving in at all as he replied in a calm tone. His wicked-looking eyes were glancing over at Qi Feng’s face as well.
“You know that I don’t like to compromise myself on a lot of things. If I’m not even allowed to have my own attitude, what’s the difference from being a dead man? I wish you luck if you insist on playing the good guy and make the family proud because I’m not interested at all. I’m all alone and I don’t care about anything. I have nothing to lose.” Qi Lei stared deeper into Qi Feng’s eyes, chuckling at the end of his speech.
Qi Feng was not angry at all. His expression was still calm as usual. It seemed like there was not really anything that could throw him off anymore. He returned the glance at Qi Lei and smiled. “Attitude? True, you have your own attitude. You look much better than when you’re flailing around doing nothing and being a useless Second Master Qi. Don’t you care about anything? Or do you think you can really go against us just because Mu Yuchen is on your side?”
Qi Feng had made a lot of guesses before. With Qi Lei’s current relationship with Mu Yuchen, if Qi Lei was actually interested in Xi Xiaye, he was still able to mix with Mu Yuchen and Su Chen’s bunch, which also meant that Mu Yuchen knew but did not care.
He fully understood the true terror of Mu Yuchen. Qi Feng was already impressed based just on his generosity and intellect alone! However, the more trustful and relaxed someone was, it was easier to be surprised to the point of despair!
For instance, Mu Lingtian was driven into despair and had nearly crumbled!
Qi Feng thought of Mu Yuchen as his strongest opponent and enemy, so he spent a lot of time analyzing him. He never stopped gathering news about Mu Yuchen even when he was abroad. It was not as if he did not know Mu Yuchen and Qi Lei were getting closer, but the speed of his information network slowed down slightly when he had been busy preparing to return lately.
Qi Lei was surprised that Qi Feng would reveal it so easily, but he was not stupid. Qi Feng would be wasting his time if he had come here to find out more from him. On high alert at the moment, Qi Lei already made an agreement with Mu Yuchen that he would not say a word about them.
“Do you really I think I need help? Just because you have a grudge against Mu Yuchen, can’t I have a drink with him? He just gave me some gifts some time ago, so I have to treat him appropriately somehow. I have my own socializing rules. I don’t think it’s wise to make another enemy when being a friend is an option. At least, when I’m lazy to cook, I can shamelessly head over and stick with them for dinner. You know very well I nearly know nothing in the kitchen, and I heard from Yang Sheng that the higher-ups planned to demote me. I’m a poor man. What should I do about my future expenses if I don’t consider befriending a millionaire right now?”
Qi Lei put on a pitiful and innocent expression. Qi Feng found his smile annoying, but his expression remained unchanged.
“Qi Lei, you know we’re brothers and we can be straightforward with each other. You can keep your tricks for stupid fools like Yang Sheng.”
Naturally, Qi Feng noticed that Qi Lei was trying to cover things up.
Qi Lei shrugged as he ran his fingers through his hair. “I can’t help it if you don’t believe me. I suppose I’m done talking right now. Besides, don’t insult the word ‘brothers’! My mother only gave birth to one son. Who told you that you’re my brother? You’re a handsome, thoughtful, and talented young man, and a super nice guy at that. How could you have a brother like me who’s useless, greedy, and always loafing around? Just putting my name beside yours would sully your reputation, don’t you think?”
“That’s enough, Qi Lei!” Qi Feng could not stand it anymore as he raised his voice and his eyes turned hard. “There’s no need for you to mock me! You know very well what you’ve done in the past few years. You’ll have to upgrade yourself if you want to gain respect and recognition from others. You even gave your own father the cold shoulder. Do you really expect him to take good care of you?”
“You’re right. I’m useless. Then, what’s the point of you coming to talk to me? Don’t you understand by now? We’re unrelated at all, so you can leave now! I’ve clearly told you that what happened to Qi Kai has nothing to do with me. You know what happened from the beginning to the end. There’s no need for me to say anything else! Don’t come here and lecture me out of nowhere! Just who do you think you are? Are you trying to pick a fight with me now?” Qi Lei stood up and peered down at Qi Feng.
“Qi Lei, this is not up to you. I came here today totally prepared. You know what I’m capable of. You might feel better if you’re cooperative today, or else, don’t blame me for what’s going to happen!” Qi Feng’s patience ran out, and his expression turned icy cold as he stared at Qi Lei.
Qi Lei suddenly started laughing. His gaze turned intense as well as he glared at Qi Feng fearlessly. “Are you going to do it? Are you sure you’re going to do something to me?”
“Oh, I almost forgot that you’re the same as that old man. You can’t leave the old thug ways in the past! I’m telling you now that I’m not going to cooperate, so what can you do to me? Are you going to kill me or cripple me? Just come at me already!” In his fury, the cold gaze from Qi Lei’s eyes was terrifying. Qi Feng could sense a chilly aura from him.
Qi Feng squinted his eyes as he observed Qi Lei who was spreading an unfriendly vibe around him, and he was stunned for a moment. He was surprised to see Qi Lei like this. He was totally different from his old self. Nonetheless, he returned a cold smile. “If you insist, don’t blame me then. Morrison!”
