The text message was from my mother, with the time and address attached.
Tonight at eight o'clock, Sea-Viewing Hotel.
Chen Nian fell into a brief thought after reading the text message.
To go or not to go?
This so-called dinner party should be a family dinner with the mother's newly formed family. The so-called "sister" is the daughter of the man who is not related by blood.
I, the son of my original family, would disturb their harmony if I went there, so I might as well forget it.
Moreover, in my own capacity, having too much contact with them will only bring harm.
If a strong man from another country accidentally learns of his identity and comes to assassinate him or something, it will actually harm them.
"I have something to do, so I won't go."
Chen Nian replied the text message.
"Mom, will brother come tonight?" Ning Ziqing asked expectantly.
"Well... I have already sent him a text message to tell him. He... should be here."
"Humph, you have promised me for a long time. If I don't see my brother again today, then I won't go to dinner!" Ning Ziqing turned his head in dissatisfaction.
"How can that work? Today is your eighteenth birthday, and we are going to celebrate your birthday."
Xie Li couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "Ziqing, tell mom, why do you want to see your brother so much?"
According to normal logic, children don't like their mother's love being taken away.
Especially brothers and sisters who are not related by blood, there is no family relationship at all.
"Because... I'm afraid that my brother will be lonely."
Ning Ziqing whispered.
It turns out that she also experienced her parents' divorce, otherwise she wouldn't have the reorganized family she has now.
She also knew that the children were the ones who were hurt the most, so she was worried that Chen Nian would be lonely without her parents around, and wanted to share some warmth with him.
"Silly boy..."
At this time, the Chen Nian text message reply came.
Xie Li After reading the brief rejection words above, his expression became slightly stiff.
"How's it going? Brother, did you agree to come?"
"Well... he agreed."
"Okay! Then I'll go dress up first and give my brother a good impression!"
Xie Li looked at his daughter's well-behaved back and sighed.
Lying to Ning Ziqing is just a tactic to avoid pouring cold water on her. We have already booked the best seats in the hotel tonight, but we cannot live without her birthday girl.
That night.
Sea-Viewing Hotel.
Chen Nian was actually already nearby. In fact, what made him shaken was not anything else but the sister he had never met before.
[Your sister is worried that you will be lonely alone, and she really wants to build a good relationship with you. Today is her eighteenth birthday. Can you come over to have a meal as a favor to your mother?]
Although Chen Nian does not feel lonely, it is ultimately the kindness of others.
He looked at the five-star hotel in front of him and was hesitating whether to go up or not.
"How about asking someone to send her a birthday present?"
"This way you don't have to meet each other and you can still do what you want."
Chen Nian After thinking about it, I thought it was a good idea, so I started to choose birthday gifts on my mobile phone.
Upstairs, Ning Ziqing's family has already taken their seats.
The eighteen-year-old girl is in her youth and beauty. She is wearing a beautiful blue and white skirt with a cute butterfly on her head. She is as delicate as a little princess.
The table was already covered with exquisite dishes and cakes, but no one used chopsticks.
Seeing that the time has reached eight o'clock, Chen Nian has not arrived yet, Ning Ziqing is not happy.
"Mom, why hasn't my brother come yet? It's already time!"
"Xiao Qing... Actually, he didn't agree to come. But don't be unhappy. Mom and dad will celebrate your birthday with you."
"You... you lie, liar!"
"Hey, Xiao Qing!"
Ning Ziqing Then I realized that I had been cheated.
It turns out that adults are like this, thinking that children can be fooled by just coaxing and lying...
The whole day's expectations were dashed in this moment.
She left the meeting on the spot and ran out angrily.
"This kid!"
The father said helplessly, "Let's eat first. The child's temper is like this. She will run back by herself after a while."
"I'd better go find her. It's best if nothing happens this late at night!"
Ning Ziqing ran downstairs all the way, the crystal tears being left behind.
She happened to pass by Chen Nian who was wandering in front of the hotel, and ran all the way outside to the street.
Chen Nian certainly noticed her, but since he had never met her, he didn't know that she was the sister he had never met before. At first glance, it was just a little strange why a girl would run away in such a hurry at night.
"Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing!"
The woman chasing after her ran and shouted.
"Why does this kid run so fast..."
Chen Nian Then I figured out the situation. It turned out to be my sister. She probably got angry and ran away. Did my mother chase her out?
He suddenly felt dumbfounded. It turned out that he was still the one to take the blame.
Okay, then I'll go get her back.
Chen Nian activated Hidden Shadow, disappeared, and then flew into the air again.
It's too easy for him to find someone. As long as he turns on "Heavenly Eye" in the sky, everything below will be in full view!
Heavenly Eye, on.
In an instant, clear light covered Chen Nian's eyes, allowing him to see into all things.
But as soon as I opened Heavenly Eye, Chen Nian, I saw something incredible...
Humanoid Calamity Beast, who transformed into a middle-aged woman, was walking openly on the road with a sack on her shoulders.
There was clearly the outline of a human figure in that sack!
In an instant, the invisible Chen Nian fell behind Humanoid Calamity Beast.
Ning Ziqing is in the sack.
Through Heavenly Eye, Chen Nian, it can be seen that she was only temporarily unconscious.
This Calamity Beast actually wants to kidnap a human being? The kidnapper happens to be his own sister.
Chen Nian was about to kill Calamity Beast, but he didn't do it immediately. Driven by curiosity, he wanted to know what Calamity Beast wanted to do?
Of course, if Ning Ziqing is in any danger, he will take action immediately.
In this way, Chen Nian has maintained the state of Invisibility, following Calamity Beast who turned into a woman every step of the way...
Until I walked into an abandoned factory building.
There are dozens of people in the innermost workshop of the abandoned factory building!
Men, women, old people, students...
All kinds of people gather here.
An old-fashioned chandelier hung above the head, and under the dim light, people gathered around it.
That's right, everyone here is not "human".
It's all Humanoid Calamity Beast!
"How well do you understand human knowledge?"
"I got to know the students' living habits. Most of their lives are spent studying, and they have to make up classes on weekends, leaving little free time." One of them, Calamity Beast, said.
"I learned about the lives of ordinary office workers. They work from nine to six, and work overtime at irregular intervals. Most of them don't get overtime pay."
These Calamity Beast talked about their own lives and experiences one after another.
"Very good, these will become valuable knowledge for us to learn from humans."
"Next, we need to understand human reproductive behavior. To do that, we need a human woman as an observation object."
"No. 07 is already executing. He has captured a young woman and returned."
"Very good."
Of course, this group of Calamity Beast don't know.
No. 07, brought a father back.
