Pei Si Cheng drove and waited outside the flower shop, watching Song Yu Qiao walk out with a bouquet of white lilies in her arms, as if it were five years ago in Vancouver's small town, like the little girl who walked out of an oil painting.
Song Yuqiao felt that Pei Cheng had been staring at her. Thinking it was because of the poor flower selection, she explained: "The shop assistant said that lilies are more suitable, I originally wanted to choose chrysanthemums, but..."
Pei Si Cheng lifted his hand and swept up the stray hairs that had fallen around Song Yu Qiao's ears, hooking them back behind her ear. "Looks good, just like this."
When Pei Sicheng drove to the cemetery, Zheng Jiawei had already arrived, and beside her stood a face that Song Yuqiao especially did not want to see - Zhang Menglin.
But it's also imaginable that Zhang Menglin is Zhang Mengxue's younger sister, coming to the cemetery to visit her elder sister, which is not unreasonable.
Song Yuqiao had already increased her vigilance after getting off the car with flowers, in case Zhang Menglin suddenly attacked her. However, Song Yuqiao didn't need to be extra careful, as she had Pei Si Cheng by her side. Even if she couldn't handle things herself, having Pei Si Cheng behind her made her feel at ease.
Zheng Jiawei smiled, pointing to the watch on her wrist, "You're late. Half an hour, let me and Menglin wait here for half an hour, Pei San, you say how to compensate."
Zhang Menglin took a step forward, "No need, Vivian. I'm already grateful that Brother-in-law is willing to see me."
She had just finished saying this sentence, and seemed to have only realized that she had misspoken, hurriedly covering her mouth, and glanced at Pei Si Cheng, "Pei San Shao, it's not my brother-in-law, I made a mistake."
Zhang Menglin really hasn't seen Pei Sheng for almost a month, and Pei Sheng is indeed ruthless. He said that before her 18th birthday party, she should rest quietly. And he really didn't give her any notice at all, she was completely resting, there were two times when she wanted to come find Pei Sheng, but was pressed down by the agent, letting her endure July, waiting for the August birthday party, definitely will attract enough attention, now don't have to gamble on a breath of air, in case Pei Sheng withdraws his investment from you, you'll be left with nothing.
Zhang Menglin is really that kind of person who doesn't think much, but fortunately she has a relatively clear-headed agent who helped her out.
Zheng Jiawei took a step forward towards Song Yuqiao and said, "Yuqiao is also here, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Zhang Menglin, Mengxue's sister."
Song Yuqiao held a bouquet of lilies, looking exceptionally calm, the lilies in her hand just covering her chin. "I know, no need to introduce."
Zhang Menglin hastily nodded: "Yes, I know Qiao Jie."
Pei Su Cheng quietly wrapped his arm around Song Yu Qiao's waist, holding her close to him, ignoring the two people here, and walked straight into the cemetery.
The cemetery in the East District is one of the larger cemeteries in City C. Zhang Mengxue's tombstone is in the third row, and there is only one tombstone.
A few people came before the tombstone. Song Yuqiao saw a bunch of flowers placed on the ground at first glance, which were pink roses.
"Hey," said Zhang Menglin, "who is sending roses to the cemetery?"
Song Yuqiao lowered her head and took a glance, the petals of the pink rose still had water droplets on them, apparently it was just delivered not long ago.
Pei Si swept a glance over him, his eyes darkening slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Zheng Jiawei pursed her lips, bent down and picked up a handful of pink roses in front of the tombstone, threw them aside, raised her hand to support the tombstone: "Meng Xue, Pei Si Cheng has come to see you, as well as his little girlfriend Song Yuqiao, who is really young, eight or nine years younger than us."
Song Yuqiao didn't mind Zheng Jiawei's words, and just lowered his head to look at the photo on the tombstone. Although the birth and death years on the tombstone were five years ago, because the tombstone was newly built, the photo was very new.
The woman in the photo is smiling brightly, with her hair slanted and tied into a braid, wearing a top hat on her head.
Song Yuqiao couldn't help but say that Zhang Mengxue and Zhang Menglin still had some similarities between their eyebrows, just like her and her sister Song Shuying, who actually had a three-point similarity, but it wasn't noticeable at first glance, and you needed to take a closer look to realize.
Zhang Mengxue is very pretty, otherwise Zhang Menglin wouldn't have the genes either. She can rely solely on her face to become a vase-like small celebrity.
Song Yu stared at the photo for a long time, feeling somewhat familiar, and wondered if she had seen this person before. However, upon further reflection, there was no information about this person in her mind. Perhaps it was just that after seeing Zhang Menglin, she felt that Zhang Mengxue looked more like her sister.
Song Yuqiao bent down and placed the lily in her hand in front of the tombstone, then bowed deeply to the tombstone.
She had never met Zhang Mengxue before and was not familiar with her, so she didn't have the same relationship as Pei Si Cheng and Zheng Jia Wei who were former friends. She didn't say anything else and turned around to whisper to Pei Si Cheng: "I'll go for a walk up front."
Song Yuqiao walked along the path between the two rows of tombstones towards a small grove not far away.
Zheng Jiawei raised an eyebrow, and her gaze, which had fallen on Song Yuqiao, returned to Pei Si Cheng. "Your little girlfriend still knows how to give you some personal space, not bad."
Song Yuqiao really understood, she unconditionally believed in Pei Si Cheng, from the moment she got Pei Hao Yu's paternity test, as long as it was said by Pei Si Cheng, she would believe it, giving a blessing to her deceased friend as an undead person.
She walked to the edge of the small woods, took a look inside, and it was just a small maple forest, but unfortunately, if it were in late autumn, the maple leaves would definitely be fiery red. She had been to Xiangshan once before, but that was when she was very young, and her mother had taken her and her sister there. At that time, Song Yuhan wasn't around yet.
Song Yuqiao had no intention of entering the forest, only walking along the edge, when suddenly a voice came from behind, saying: "Are you alone?"
Song Yuqiao turned around and saw a tall man with slightly sunken eye sockets, his eyes were somewhat dull, looking like he might be of mixed blood, but not as bright as Jessica's. This person had a somewhat gloomy feeling, don't know why, maybe it was because he was wearing all black clothes.
"It's not just me, my friend is over there." Song Yu replied.
"This person handed over the camera in his hand to Song Yuqiao: "Can you help me take a photo?""
Song Yuqiao was really stunned for a moment.
I've seen couples ask others to take photos for them before, but I've never seen a big man like him ask someone else to help take a photo. Maybe he's just a photography enthusiast who usually takes landscape photos and now needs her help.
Song Yuqiao nodded, "Okay."
As she said that, she took over the camera. The man walked over to teach Song Yuqiao which one was the shutter release and then said: "You come over here, I want to borrow the stone over there to take a picture."
Song Yuqiao nodded and followed, but the stone in this person's mouth was a stone tablet, an empty stone tablet with not a single word engraved on it. It didn't look like ordinary stone tablets with edges and corners, as if someone had ground it flat.
Suddenly, Song Yuqiao felt a bit eerie, so he quickly pressed the shutter and took a picture of the man. He returned the camera to him, and the man said, "Thank you."
Song Yuqiao waved his hand and said no need to thank him, then turned around and left in a hurry.
As soon as she came out of the small woods, she happened to run into Pei Su Cheng who had been searching for her. Song Yu Qiao was looking back at that moment, wondering if that man was following her again, so she directly bumped into Pei Su Cheng's arms all of a sudden.
Pei Si Cheng looked at Song Yu Qiao's flustered appearance and smiled: "Is there a dog chasing you from behind?"
Song Yuqiao shook his head: "No, just now a man asked me to take a picture for him, and then went behind the trees in the back, where there is a stone tablet, it's a bit gloomy..."
Pei Si furrowed his brow, already holding Song Yuqiao's hand and pulling her in the direction she came from. Indeed, he also saw the stone tablet that Song Yuqiao was pointing at, but next to it, there was no one else. The light in the woods was a bit weak, with dappled shadows intersecting each other.
Song Yuqiao felt that Pei Sheng's hand, which was holding hers, suddenly tightened, and she reflexively held it back tightly.
As they were on their way back from the East District Cemetery, Pei Cheng's phone rang, and Song Yuqiao helped him take it out. "It's Yu Na calling."
"Your turn."
"Nana, it's Song Yuqiao."
………………
Yuna called Pei Si Cheng because Ye Ze Nan had a relapse of his addiction.
This time's craving is even more unbearable than last time, Yu Na said it right, I really want to bite my tongue off.
In the past few days, he had become so thin that his whole body was out of shape. Although Ye Zhenan was originally very thin, now standing there, he looked like a standing utility pole.
Yu Na made nutritious meals for him every day, but Ye Ze Nan had a small appetite. If you didn't give him food, he wouldn't open his mouth to say that he was hungry and wanted to eat.
This time when the addiction recurred, Yu Na had no warning signs at all. She had always been cautious and never untied Ye Zhenan's hands, but once the pain struck, the explosive force was often extremely strong.
Yu Na was just turning to take the tranquilizer when Ye Ze Nan suddenly pressed her to the ground, a metal handcuff against her throat, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Give it to me! Give me the medicine!"
Yu Na was caught off guard and knocked to the ground, her occipital bone directly hitting the wooden floor. Suddenly, she felt a huge lump on the back of her head, the pain making her burst into tears. However, through her blurry tear-filled eyes, her gaze at Ye Zhen Nan was still icy cold.
"Can't hold it in anymore? Ye Zhenan, don't make me look down on you, get up now."
Although Yuna helped Ye Zenan wrap a layer of velvet on the handcuffs, there was no velvet wrapped around the shorter iron chain between the two cuffs. Now it was pressing against Yuna's throat, she felt suffocated, as if all the blood in her body was rushing to her head, and her face was completely congested.
People controlled by drugs are terrifying, Yu Na is clear about it.
Ever since she volunteered at the rehab center for three months, Yu Na had a deep understanding of it. At that time, inside the rehab center, there were professional staff and equipment, but she felt that when facing those drug addicts, they could instantly transform from gentle lambs to ferocious lions.
Before agreeing to accompany Ye Zenan for detoxification, Pei Si Cheng had also sought her opinion, after all, it was just a dispatch in the past as a personal assistant, but now she had to accompany this person for a month and help him detoxify.
At first, Yuna refused, then what made her agree?
It was because in Ye's office, after Ye Zhenan got over his opium addiction, he weakly said "In the future when I'm addicted again, you'd better keep a distance from me."
Yu Na thinks that as long as a person has some willpower, they can absolutely resist, and Ye Ze Nan should have willpower.
But did she ultimately make a wrong decision?
Just as Yu Na felt that hallucinations were starting to appear before her eyes, the iron chain around her neck suddenly loosened, she took a desperate breath and started coughing violently.
Ye Zenan fell backwards onto the ground, his handcuffed hands smashing into his own head.
Yu Na's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly regained her composure, accurately injecting the tranquilizer she had already taken out into Ye Zenan's body.
Because of Yuna's increased dosage, however, within five minutes, Ye Zhenan was completely motionless, lying on the floor in a somewhat pitiful state.
Yu Na let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but touch her own throat, the pain making her take in a sharp breath.
It hurts so much.
Yu Na looked at Ye Ze Nan's vacant stare at the ceiling and felt a pang of heartache after that one time in the office.
She walked over, picked Ye Zenan up from the floor, almost exhausting her entire body's strength, and dragged him to the bed, covering him with a thin quilt.
Yu Na glanced at Ye Ze Nan, turned around and entered the bathroom. She faced the mirror to treat the marks on her neck, which were more serious than she had imagined. She gritted her teeth, disinfected it, applied a band-aid, and took a deep breath.
Walking out of the bathroom, Ye Zenan was lying on the bed, staring at Yu Na with a dim gaze.
"Call Pei Shuai for me, you go and find someone from a professional detox center."
Yu Na listened to Ye Ze Nan's words and didn't react. "What do you want to eat tonight? Let's cook some porridge and stir-fry a few dishes."
Ye Zenan growled, his voice already laced with a few parts anger, "Yu Na, I'm telling you to get out of here now and bring over professional detox personnel! Let Pei Si admit that he doesn't need fake kindness!"
Yu Na didn't respond to Ye Ze Nan's words and walked out of the room directly. A moment later, she came back with her mobile phone.
Yu Na dialed Pei Si Cheng's phone number in front of Ye Ze Nan, then flipped her hand to show him the name on her phone before putting it on speaker.
When Song Yuqiao's voice came over the phone, Ye Zenan was shocked all over.
Yu Na didn't bother with much courtesy and directly said, "Oh, help me tell the boss that Ye Ze Nan is here and I can handle it alone, no need to send more people over."
Hanging up the phone, Yu Na put away her mobile and looked at Ye Zenan. Just then.
"I'm telling you, Ye Zenan, I have a stubborn temper. If you tell me to do something, I'll do the opposite. If you don't let me do something, I'll insist on doing it and doing it well."
Yu Na's head teacher had figured out her temperament before the college entrance exam and said, "You will absolutely not become a top scorer in the college entrance exam!"
As a result, Yu Na became the only top scorer in the county's college entrance examination.
Yuna and Pei Sheng are actually the same kind of people. Although they have different backgrounds and experiences, what is the same is that they both believe in making things happen through their own efforts.
………………
Bai Xiaohuo was particularly happy today because his grandma took him to the airport to pick up Jessica.
Bai Haoyu sat in the back seat, waving his short legs around, "Grandma, who are we going to pick up?"
Xī Měi Yù said: "Dr. Olich."
Doctor.
Sounds like a very cool template.
Pei Hang-yu thinks it's awesome because he once heard Mu Xiao-dong say that a Ph.D. is something you get in college, and now he's just started elementary school, with ten years to go. How long is ten years? Mu Xiao-dong said: "There's a song that says, 'In ten years, I'll be you...' It's sung to teachers..."
It's just that Bae Ho-young, this academic failure, usually only listens to half of the class, and now is no exception. He didn't hear the second half of the sentence, but he did catch one sentence: "I've become you."
Now Pei Hang-yu most wants to be like his father, Pei Si-cheng. So, the little heart starts beating rapidly in the chest cavity.
Ten years, Pei Hang-yu thought, in ten years, he would be a father!
Awesome!
Seimei, sitting in the front seat, glanced at her grandson's silly smile through the rearview mirror and rolled her eyes. She turned to Jessica beside her and asked, "What flight did you book for Dr. Oriche?"
"It's already half past one."
But Pei Hangyu never expected that Dr. Oriche would be an old man with white hair.
On the way back, Xi Mei Yu first sent Dr. Orlitz to the hotel and booked a suite for him to adapt to China time.
The hotel is not far from Bae's company, so Shim Eun-ju took Bae Ho-young on a trip to Bae's.
………………
Bae's family name.
Pais Cheng happened to be receiving a creative team from Sheng Shi, cooperating to launch a new product, and needed to re-determine the new market position and promotion scope.
Accompanying Yu Zetian, the president of Shengshi Group, to meet Pei Si Cheng was Zhou Haitang.
"Goodbye!"
Since Zhou Haitang left Shallow Language and entered Sheng Shi, she had not seen Song Yuqiao again. The two only chatted a few times at night, now seeing each other at Pei's place was really surprising.
Yu Zhe cleared his throat, Zhou Haitang immediately retracted a bit and smiled at Song Yu.
In the meeting discussing business cooperation, the atmosphere was quite serious. Yu Zeyuan and his team, along with Pei's own team, discussed at the conference table for nearly two hours.
At the end of it all, Zhou Haitang and Song Yuqiao hugged each other secretly, with Zhou Haitang saying: "I'll contact you tonight, let's go have some fun."
After sending off the team of Sheng Shi, Song Yuqiao took the materials from the meeting to Pei Si Cheng for summary. Pei Si Cheng said: "Come to my office to sort it out."
Pei Shou Cheng yielded the office desk to Song Yu Qiao, then sat on a nearby sofa looking at materials, occasionally raising his head to glance at Song Yu Qiao who was staring intently at the computer.
"Is this data wrong?" Song Yuqiao pointed at a number that had just been recorded on the computer.
Pei Si Cheng put down the materials in his hand and beckoned to Song Yu Qiao, "Bring it over and let me take a look."
Song Yuqiao printed out this page with a printer, brought it over to Pei Shicheng, bent down, leaned close to Pei Shicheng, and pointed to a number on the paper with one hand: "Look at this number, originally it should be the sales volume for a quarter..."
"Can't see clearly, come closer."
As a result, they drew closer and closer, and Pei Si Cheng reached out to pull her in. Song Yu Qiao fell into his arms.
It is very reasonable to eat tofu.
But outside the office, with Song Yuqiao by the boss's side, Assistant Li Bei was temporarily useless, placed outside the office as a flower pot, standing guard.
The boss had specifically instructed Lǐ Běi before entering the door that no one was allowed to come over and disturb him at will.
Then, the flower pot in front of Li Bei welcomed a young master who walked out of the elevator, as well as the future mother-in-law of the boss who followed behind him.
Lǐ Běi is barely qualified as an assistant because he can handle his boss's private matters very well.
Bae Ho-yul pulled Shim Mi-young's hand. "Grandma, come with me. I know where my dad's office is. There's also a green-haired turtle inside."
Li Bei had already moved quietly to the side of the door and was just about to knock when Pei Huai's voice came from in front.
"Hey Uncle Li Bei! You're going to tattle again!"
Lei Bei: *silence*
Xī Měi Yù adjusted her glasses and smiled slightly: "You're Assistant Pei, no need to announce yourself."
Li Bei nodded silently with tears in her eyes, sincerely hoping that Boss hadn't done anything beastly in the office.
It's really like they're going to become a family, even their way of doing things is so similar.
