Chapter Ninety-Seven: It Should Be
Pei Tingyuan took a glass of red wine from the waiter who passed by, took a shallow sip, and said slowly: "Sister-in-law, you are not young anymore, and you are no longer suitable for such childish jokes." ”
This sentence seemed to be a basin of cold water ruthlessly falling on Lu Xiwen, who was originally in excitement because of the support of Old Man Pei, and the light dissipated little by little from her eyes, and her heart surged with unwillingness.
She meekly lowered her eyes, pretending not to hear.
Pei Huiping's face turned red, and she shouted in a low voice: "Pei Tingyuan, this is what grandpa meant." ”
"And I have personal freedom. Pei Tingyuan raised the wine glass in his hand, "I still have something to talk about, you guys talk slowly." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Pei Huiping to refute again, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Eh, Brother Tingyuan, wait a minute. Before Pei Huiping moved, Lu Xiwen had already stepped forward quickly and grabbed Pei Tingyuan's sleeve.
Unexpectedly, her slender heels did not stand firm for a while, and she waved her arms a few times, but she failed to regain her balance, and her body fell to the side.
Pei Huiping's eyes were quick, and with a gentle push, she pushed the person into her nephew's arms.
The surrounding area was immediately lit up with flashlights, and the picture of President Pei Da of P.L Group and Miss Lu Jiada hugging each other was clearly recorded with the camera.
"Ting, Brother Tingyuan. Lu Xiwen's cheeks were as delicate as peach blossoms, nestled against Pei Tingyuan's chest, as if she was frightened by the situation just now and couldn't move.
Pei Tingyuan gently pushed her away, but she didn't know where she touched it, making her gasp in pain.
Lu Xiwen raised her hand and pressed her shoulder, pursing her lips, as if she was enduring something.
Pei Tingyuan's gaze fell on her shoulder, his eyes darkened, and he asked with a sigh, "Is it an old injury that hurts again......?"
"It doesn't hurt, it's okay. Lu Xiwen interrupted him, with a gentle and elegant smile on her face, "I'll just go and rest by myself, your business is important, go and get busy." ”
Pei Tingyuan's memory suddenly flew back to when he was a child.
He remembered that in distress, Lu Xiwen was obviously injured, but she smiled strongly, and in turn comforted him not to be afraid. It wasn't until they escaped and the family sensed something was wrong that he realized how badly she had been injured, and he almost couldn't even save that arm.
For a girl who loves beauty, losing an arm is equivalent to losing hope in life, right?
Although the arm was saved in the end, it still left some sequelae, and since then there seems to be an indelible mark on it, which reminds him of the past, even if more than ten years have passed, he still remembers it clearly.
He sighed, and his voice unconsciously became gentle, "Xiwen, you wait." I'll go say hello to a few acquaintances, and then I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. ”
Lu Xiwen shook her head, "No need, your work is important, I'll just go to the side and take a rest." ”
Her weakness and stubbornness were clearly reflected in Pei Tingyuan's eyes.
She frowned, grabbed her uninjured arm, and walked to the break room.
"Brother Tingyuan......" she exclaimed in a low voice, her face panicked.
Their actions attracted the attention of the people next to them, the young girls whispered jealously, and the men were envious of President Pei Da and hugged another beauty.
Joy jumped on Pei Huiping's eyebrows, and she hurriedly motioned to familiar reporters to take pictures.
How can there be fewer women around the young talents of wealthy families? Even if Pei Tingyuan, who is married, will break out some scandals and gossip at this time, it will be nothing.
The important thing is to let Qiao Xihe, that little slut, retreat.
A two-pronged approach can do more with less.
She looked at the two backs who walked into the lounge hand in hand, and took out her mobile phone to call her father, "...... Dad, things are going pretty well, don't worry, huh...... I'll look at the ...... from afar."
Pei Tingyuan didn't notice that the reporter behind him was quietly taking pictures again, and at this moment, his thoughts were probably on Lu Xiwen's body.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for him, Lu Xiwen would not have been injured.
He felt guilty about it all the time.
"Drink some water, I'll be back when I go. ”
"Hmm. Lu Xiwen sat on the sofa and nodded obediently, without meaning to keep Pei Tingyuan.
Pei Tingyuan took a deep look at her and turned to go out.
The door of the lounge closed gently, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her arm, which was still in a state of recurrence of the old illness just now, suddenly took out a small mirror from her handbag, tidied up her hair, and made up some makeup.
After tidying up, she continued to lean limply on the sofa, gently stroking the injured shoulder.
This injury, but it can make Pei Tingyuan remember it, it is worth it.
It's just that...... She was a little sad, in order to snatch the man she loved, she actually had to come to this point, which was indeed something she didn't expect at first.
She was a little melancholy, picked up her phone again and looked at the time, and then found that there was a push message for entertainment gossip.
"President P.L and Qingmei attended the cocktail party hand in hand, are they the real couple?"
clicked on, the first photo was a photo of her and Pei Tingyuan walking into the door of the reception together, they were like princes and princesses in fairy tales under the flash, harmonious and beautiful.
I don't know what Qiao Xihe's reaction will be when he sees this news?
It must be exciting, right?
As the daughter of a corrupt criminal, money, fame, and appearance ...... There is nothing but to cling to men, if you lose Pei Tingyuan, it is equivalent to losing the hope of the whole world and the future.
It's really pitiful, she can only catch this man who doesn't belong to her at all in vain.
Lu Xiwen hooked her lips and smiled, and when she drove Qiao Xihe out of Pei's house with her own hands, she must appreciate Qiao Xihe's tragic situation.
Just thinking about it, the sound of the doorknob of the lounge turning sounded, she quickly pressed the power button of her mobile phone, hid her smile, and looked at the door with a little delicateness.
Pei Tingyuan came back, with a very light smell of alcohol on his body, and it seemed that in order to be able to leave the drinking party temporarily, he had to put some effort into dealing with those old foxes.
"Xiwen, let's go to the hospital. ”
Lu Xiwen hesitated and refused: "It's okay, I rested for a while and felt better." ”
"I went to the hospital for a check-up, and I was relieved. Pei Ting said from afar, his eyes fell on Lu Xiwen's shoulder again, and his brows furrowed again.
I'm relieved. The four words drifted into Lu Xiwen's ears, making her whole heart feel like she was immersed in honey, sweet and silky.
She had no way to resist the gentleness that this man brought her, "Okay, I'm sorry for you, Brother Tingyuan." ”
Pei Tingyuan shook his head and said, "It's not troublesome, it should be." ”
Yes, yes, you should be with me, forever, forever. Lu Xiwen stared at Pei Tingyuan's handsome face, raised her hand, and held his hand.
The two of them walked out together again.
