Chapter 1419 Dare to Bet? 1

It was a bright and sunny afternoon, making it rather warm outside today.

A car was moving forward steadily, and the man in the back seat was quietly going through some company information that the vice president had submitted. As he noticed the car slowing down, he subconsciously raised his head and looked out of the window. At the same time, he heard Yang Sheng’s voice coming from the front.

“Master Qi, please wait here. I need to get some documents.”

Although Qi Lei had always been independent, many of the projects he was handling were those that he had taken over from the Qi Kai Group from the beginning. Under Qi Qiming’s consent, he would still exchange data and information with Qi Kai.

Since the car happened to be in the vicinity of the Qi Kai Group, Yang Sheng decided to drop by to get some documents.

Qi Lei reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone to check the time. He took a glance and turned his head to take a look outside before he said, “Pull over and park in front.”

“Yes, Master Qi! The weather is pretty nice and warm today. Let’s get out and walk around. After a long day, it’s time to take a break.” Yang Sheng smiled and motioned the driver next to him to park the car at the side of the road. The driver quickly complied.

“Take the invitation letter too,” Qi Lei said as he opened the car door when the car came to a stop.

Yang Sheng nodded. “Yes, Master Qi! You just saved me another trip.” He then took his briefcase and got out of the car.

Qi Lei raised his head and briefly glanced at the skyscraper towering into the clouds. It was difficult to tell if he felt any emotions. He sat down on a bench with a flowerbed next to him and basked in the sun leisurely.

Under the warm, bright sun, he felt at ease and comfortable, but it did not last long as he could feel that something was wrong. There seemed to be footsteps in front of him, and he could vaguely see a figure slowly approaching him.

He raised his head and Qi Feng’s face caught his eye. He was wearing a dark coat and had a crutch in his hand...

Could he actually stand again?

Qi Lei was a little surprised, but he remembered that Qi Feng had been receiving treatment from Dr. Terl for his legs recently, so he finally calmed down.

Qi Feng also stopped in his tracks and fixed his eyes on Qi Lei when he realized that he was looking at him. The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, separated by a distance of less than three meters.

“Why are you here?” It was Qi Feng who spoke first in his calm, hoarse voice, and there was no emotion in his tone.

“Why can’t I be here?” Qi Lei smiled faintly and looked at Qi Feng indifferently. He then scanned him from top to bottom. “You seem to be doing pretty well lately. Well done.”

Qi Feng’s eyes flickered. He stared at Qi Lei for a long time before continuing to walk forward. He finally stopped beside Qi Lei and sat down next to him.

“Seeing me like this, you don’t actually feel happy for me, do you?” Qi Feng smiled coldly and replied.

Qi Lei shrugged as he heard that and said disapprovingly, “Are you just really good at observing, or is my attitude not genuine enough? You’re a much better liar than me. Maybe that’s why you can tell when people lie.”

“Your prejudice against me is still strong, Xiao Lei,” Qi Feng sneered.

“Someone stabbed you and you almost died. Can you still act as if nothing happened between you and the person?” Qi Lei asked indifferently as Qi Feng’s face stiffened. He lowered his head and silently arranged his cufflinks. “It’s really tiring to talk to you because you talk to us nicely. Aren’t you tired of living with a mask for so many years?”

Qi Lei’s remarks certainly made Qi Feng’s face grow visibly tense.

However, as a man with strong self-control, it did not take Qi Feng long before he returned to his calm self.

“Aren’t you like that too? Once you put all these masks on, you can’t take them off. Over time, they become part of your emotions and it presents one’s happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. You should also be familiar with this feeling, shouldn’t you?”

With a hint of irony in Qi Feng’s hoarse voice, he glared at Qi Lei and said, “You’re good at it, so why don’t you show me?”

“Like you said, doesn’t having such a despicable brother cause you stress and sleepless nights?” Qi Lei said calmly with a faint smile.

Yet, these words caused Qi Feng to raise his eyebrows inadvertently as if he had discovered a new world. He stared at Qi Lei and said, “Brother? Have you ever treated me like one? I guess I didn’t realize it.”

Qi Lei’s heart sank when he heard Qi Feng’s words. He raised his gaze to meet Qi Feng’s deep eyes. “Didn’t know? It seems like I’m not qualified now. Well, I guess if someone else was your brother, they wouldn’t have ended up like this, would they? Qi Feng, do you really think you’ll always be luckier than me?”

“Lucky? What’s that? I’ve never been lucky so why would I think that?” Qi Feng sneered disdainfully and continued, “However, I’m more courageous and a better strategist than you. You can rely on your parents, but I can’t. If I don’t fight for what I want, who would know who Qi Feng is?”

Qi Lei paused and glanced at Qi Feng’s handsome expression gradually turning cold. He did not say anything.

“No one will know who I am. No one will know who Qi Feng is. The name I carry is just that of an illegitimate child of the Qi family,” Qi Feng sneered and went on, “You haven’t experienced this kind of feeling, so you’ll never understand it. Brother? Tell me, what’s a brother? Joining hands with Mu Yuchen to plot against me, is this what you call being a brother? Be honest. You probably wouldn’t want to be my brother regardless, right?”

“Qi Feng, are you blaming me for everything?”

“You know it in your heart, Qi Lei, so don’t insult the word ‘brother’. All these years, have you ever called me a brother? And now you want to talk about being brothers? Seriously?” Qi Feng smiled mockingly and looked at Qi Lei’s gloomy face. “Anyway, I also think I’m not as lucky as Mu Yuchen. I heard that you had a great time working with him, didn’t you?”

“Qi Feng, there’s no need to involve others. This is just between you and me,” Qi Lei reminded coldly.

“I didn’t really say much, did I?” Qi Feng disagreed with a hint of mockery in his hoarse voice.
