Chapter 122 Closer than My Brother
On the way to the cemetery, the lively and active Peng Jiahe was the first to speak: "Hey, handsome guy, what's your name?"
Lin Bufan glanced at Peng Jiahe in the passenger seat and said lightly, "Lin Bufan!"
"That name sounds extraordinary!" Peng Jiahe, who was not good at complimenting people, forced a compliment on Lin Bufan, then immediately changed the subject: "Do you have a girlfriend?"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Bufan with anticipation!
Lu Yuan, who was in the back row, saw Peng Jiahe's expression and immediately stopped her: "Peng Jiahe, what are you doing? You're not even 18 yet, you're not allowed to have a relationship, okay?"
Peng Jiahe turned around, glared at Lu Yuan, and said viciously, "You're such a troublemaker! Lin Bufan should have beaten you to death just now!"
"Ah, you heartless little thing, I am still your guardian after all, and he knocked me to the ground, and you didn't even help me up?"
Peng Jiahe looked out the window and said through gritted teeth, "I really don't know what my dad was thinking. He actually entrusted me to an alcoholic."
Lu Yuan asked back, "Do you think I'm an alcoholic?"
Peng Jiahe turned around and stared at Lu Yuan in the back row. "You're more than just a drunkard. You're also a gambler, a scumbag, and a complete scoundrel."
Lu Yuan said indifferently: "You look down on me, is this all I have?
This kind of look is right. I am the murderer of your father.
Excuse me, what does it feel like to be adopted by the enemy who murdered your father?"
Peng Jiahe didn't say anything, but the anger in his eyes grew even stronger, as if it was about to burn.
"Remember this anger, it will make your life easier."
Lin Bufan interjected calmly, "Revenge for the murder of my father? This is indeed quite serious!
Zixia asked Confucius, what should you do if you have a grudge against someone's parents?
Confucius said, I will never live with my enemies in the same life. If I see him on the street, I will just go up and beat him!
Our ancestors have said that it is useless to remember the revenge for your father’s murder, it is better to avenge it!
Jiahe, do you need me to find someone to kill him?"
???
Although the two quarreled fiercely, they did not really hold grudges. They were just like a real father and daughter. They quarreled when they should, but when one of them was hurt, the other would stand up to help without hesitation.
Peng Jiahe was afraid that Lin Bufan would really hurt Lu Yuan, so she quickly explained to him, "Lu Yuan was joking. He's not the murderer of my father. Don't be impulsive!"
Lu Yuan curled his lips: "Tsk, if you can really kill me, I have to thank you!"
Fearing that Lu Yuan would really anger Lin Bufan, Peng Jiahe yelled at Lu Yuan: “Shut up!”
Lin Bufan looked at Lu Yuan's reckless look in the rearview mirror and decided to provoke him.
“Some things may be difficult to do here, but when you return to the free America, things will be very simple. For example, you can pay someone to set a trap for you and then send you to jail easily.
After you're sent in, as long as I don't want you to come out, I can continue to spend money to cause you trouble and keep you from coming out. That would be worse than death!"
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yuan widened his bright eyes and stared at Lin Bufan's profile.
"It's nothing, just a joke." Not wanting to argue with Lu Yuan about this issue any further, Lin Bufan said to Peng Jiahe, who was holding the urn, "What are you going to do with uncle?"
Peng Jiahe said casually, "Just spread it everywhere. My dad didn't see his hometown when he was alive. Now that he's dead, let him see it everywhere!"
"You can't see it when you're alive, and you'll be even less likely to see it when you're dead. I've found a plot of land for my uncle, so I'll bury him there. It'll be a memory for him, and I can go see him when I want to see him again.
Besides, your grandmother is still alive. If you crushed her son to dust, wouldn't she be afraid of killing you if she found out?"
"Ah, you bought a cemetery, but I tell you, I don't have money to give you!" Peng Jiahe moved her butt towards the car door while holding the urn, as if if she was farther away, Lin Bufan would not ask her for money.
Lin Bufan pointed at his forehead and said, "Peng Jiahe, look at my forehead. Do you see the word 'rich'?"
Peng Jiahe quickly moved his butt back and said excitedly, "So our family is very rich?"
Lin Bufan glanced at Peng Jiahe with amusement: "This is our home. Didn't we just want to share the money your father earned from selling his life back to the United States?"
"No way, wasn't that just a rant? I'm back, how could I possibly leave?" Peng Jiahe said this righteously, then immediately put on a flattering smile: "Brother, can you tell me how rich our family is?"
"How rich?" Lin Bufan thought for a moment about how to pretend to be low-key. "Let me give you an analogy. Suppose you win 500 million lottery tickets every day. From now on, until you die, you will still be richer than my family!"
What kind of family did my mom find for me?
"You didn't lie to me, how could you be so rich?"
"What's so deceptive about this? You'll know everything in a few days! Okay, here we are!"
All the procedures were completed quickly under the temptation of Xu Li to pay more money. When Lin Bufan arrived with Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe, Xu Li and her staff were already waiting at the door.
Lin Bufan gave a brief introduction, and then completed a series of burial ceremonies under the guidance of the staff.
Because Lin Bufan and Xu Li both drove here, on the way back, Lin Bufan took Lu Yuan with him, while Peng Jiahe got into Xu Li's car.
The two people in Lin Bufan's car didn't speak, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressing. Looking at the changing scenery outside the window, Lu Yuan suddenly remembered that he didn't know where Lin Bufan was going to take him!
"Where are you taking me? To see Peng Jiahe's mother?"
"A friend's company opened today, and I went to congratulate him. After that, I went to see Peng Jiahe's mother."
After saying this, the two people in the car fell silent again.
Unlike Lin Bufan's car, Xu Li's car was undoubtedly much more lively!
As soon as she got in the car, Peng Jiahe started chattering non-stop: "Sister Xu Li, what's your relationship with my brother?"
Xu Li glanced at Peng Jiahe in surprise and teased, "Calling me brother so soon? And calling me so affectionately?"
"That's right! My brother and I hit it off right away. From the first moment I saw him, I knew he was my biological brother, no, a brother closer than a biological brother!" Peng Jiahe said this with confidence, not feeling guilty at all!
Then Peng Jiahe said coquettishly, "Sister Xu Li, just tell me, what is your relationship with my brother?"
Seeing Peng Jiahe being so quirky, Xu Li also wanted to tease her: "He is my kept gigolo!"
Peng Jiahe was horrified. "Ah? How is that possible? Didn't my brother say he was very rich?"
Xu Li nodded: "Yes, my money is his money, so if you want to please him, you might as well please me!"
Peng Jiahe's eyes rolled as he came up with a plan: "Sister Xu Li, how about you be my guardian? I feel closer to you than to my brother!"
Xu Li chuckled and said, "You little rascal, I think you can kiss whoever has the money!"
Peng Jiahe immediately retorted righteously, "How is that possible? I'm speaking completely from the heart! From the first moment I saw Sister Xu Li, she gave me a very special feeling!"
Sister Xu Li, do you know what’s so special about it?”
Seeing Xu Li shaking her head, Peng Jiahe slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "It's especially true that Sister Xu Li, you give me a motherly feeling! If it weren't for the age difference, I would almost mistake Sister Xu Li for my mother!"
"Then who would you let be his guardian if I were his mistress?"
"This..." Peng Jiahe felt it was too hasty. Compared to Lin Bufan being a gigolo, Xu Li being the mistress was more convincing.
"Ah—" Peng Jiahe sighed and said dejectedly, "Although I think you look closer to me, Sister Xu Li, and I prefer to be with you, this is my mother's decision after all. I've decided to listen to her."
Peng Jiahe was afraid that his image would collapse too much, so he added, "Although you can't be my guardian, you and my brother have such a good relationship. We can play together often in the future."
