The meal ended unhappily, of course Xiao Chen wouldn't really argue with Pei Shaobei, he blamed those nonsense on drunkenness, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was angry, venting his dissatisfaction with Pei Shaobei on me and my parents, and doubling the embarrassment that Pei Shaobei gave him back to me.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of revenge in disguise.

I understand this truth, and Pei Shaobei also understands it.

So, when we drove out, I proposed to Pei Shaobei to go to my parents' house for one night, but Pei Shaobei didn't say anything.

I'm angry, but I don't know how to vent.

Although what Dong Mei said was extreme, it was not true in the eyes of outsiders.

My parents' faces were dull, and they couldn't even be polite and cordial, and those words were like a slap in the face to them.

When did a person who has been honest and responsible all his life suffer such humiliation in public.

Because of Lin Dong, it was once in court, and now because of Pei Shaobei, this has happened again.

Pei Shaobei sent me and my parents to the door, and I wanted to accompany them but my father refused.

The mother looked at the embarrassed Pei Shaobei and stopped talking, but in the end she didn't say anything, just sighed.

I followed at the end, looking at the stiff and old backs of my parents in front of me, my eyes were red and my nose was sour, and I didn't want to see Pei Shaobei again.

When I walked to the staircase, I was grabbed by Pei Shaobei's arm, and the grievances I had been withholding were no longer controllable.

"Wanwan, today's matter, I didn't think it through. I didn't expect Xiao Chen to book in that hotel! I will be responsible for the reputational damage suffered by my uncle and aunt!"

Pei Shaobei's calmness completely angered me, and I turned my head and looked at him coldly, "Responsible? Hmph, Pei Shaobei, how are you going to be responsible? Use legal means to sue Dong Mei and his wife in court, and repeat what happened and what he said tonight in court? Pei Shaobei, not everything can be remedied through the law. Do you understand what the most flat-headed ordinary people want to care about the most? It is not the so-called right and wrong of the hard state, it is a kind of peace. Do you understand that if you make a big deal about it, who will hurt the most?"

I was so angry that tears came down, Pei Shaobei was a little panicked, and raised his hand to help me wipe it off, but I turned my head to avoid it.

"Gu Wan, then what do you want me to do? I really didn't expect Xiao Chen to come, I have tried my best to alleviate the conflict in a peaceful way, I didn't know that Dong Mei would go out to meet you when she was drunk!" Pei Shaobei's face was also a little unsightly, and his thick black eyebrows were tightly twisted together.

I feel uncomfortable, unspeakably uncomfortable.

The originally envisaged good future felt like a joke at this moment, and I shook my head gently, "Pei Shaobei, I didn't want you to do anything, I just don't like you to handle everything with such a calm attitude, you make me not feel the human touch in you." It seems that all things, no matter what state they are, can be solved in the most straightforward way with the attitude of an outsider, but Pei Shaobei, that is my parents! Not any stranger who has never even met once on the street!"

Pei Shaobei looked at me deadly, his wrinkled eyebrows never let go, he listened to me, but the corners of his mouth flashed a sneer, "Gu Wan, I don't think this is wrong! The law is originally built on the people's will, if everyone has to experience emotional interference in everything they do, then what is the point of the existence of the law? Yes, it is indeed your parents, but in this matter, they are still victims, victims of slander. Is there anything wrong with recovering the justice it deserves according to the law?"

"Fair!" I suddenly felt powerless, I couldn't convince Pei Shaobei of the so-called fairness and justice under this cold and hard concept, I tried my best to break away from his hand, turned around and entered the building.

The house where my parents lived was one of those teacher's residential buildings without elevators, and the dark and old staircase was like a vicious monster with a big mouth, waiting to erode all the light and hope.

But at this moment, I am extremely eager to hide in this darkness and hide those distresses and helplessness.

I admit that I am very cowardly, and I am unwilling to continue to entangle, for fear that the gap between me and Pei Shaobei will be deeper and heavier.

I looked down in the dim light at the corner of the first floor, but I could only see the back of Pei Shaobei turning away, and he didn't seem to have any nostalgia.

I have always known that Pei Shaobei's calmness and occupational illness have been carried through throughout his life.

In the past, I felt that any trivial matter, no matter how big or small, was like dust in his eyes, and there was nothing to be afraid of. is like Zhang Jiajia's accusation, such as a strange and bad marriage with Lin Dong, but at this moment, I am cold.

I clearly saw that Pei Shaobei's calmness was not only about the case, but about everything.

I even began to wonder if the reason why we were able to come together was because Pei Shaobei felt that I was the most suitable after comprehensively analyzing many factors. And this suitability is not about emotion, but the best choice between the pros and cons just like the case in his hand.

I think of the little nanny who took a photo with Pei Zile, a person who is so similar to myself.

I don't believe that Pei Shaobei didn't notice our similarity when he saw me, and what role did this similarity play in contacting each other, appeasing Pei Zile's pawn?

The past with Pei Shaobei is like a movie replay, passing over and over again in my mind. When I got to the door, I realized that I had burst into tears.

I wiped my face in a panic and took a deep breath before pushing the door in.

In the half-hidden bedroom, I saw my father lying on the bed, hunched over and facing away from his mother, who was wiping tears as if to say something.

The old clock walked up and down on the wall, making a mechanical annoying sound.

On the sofa in the living room, the large bags of clothes that could be packed in the future, as well as the scattered courier orders on the ground, showed the hurry when they heard Pei Shaobei call them to eat today.

I didn't dare to enter the bedroom, took off my shoes and walked to the living room, bent down and silently packed up those clothes, one by one, sorted into categories, folded and put on the sofa, and watched the mountains of clothes occupy most of the already narrow living room, but I thought of Pei Shaobei's house, the surprisingly large villa.

A kind of grief and helplessness came spontaneously, I half-knelt on the ground, clutching the clothes in my hands tightly, but tears could not be suppressed and poured out.

"Wanwan, why do you sit on the ground, get up quickly, the floor is too cold, how can it be good if you get sick!" my mother's voice was a little choked, and then I was pulled up, I hurriedly sniffed, smiled at my mother, and when I turned my head, I saw her same red and swollen eyes, and I couldn't help but hug her and cry.

I have been a very introverted and precocious child since I was a child, because my parents run a clothing business, it is inevitable to get up early and stay late. I was rarely taken care of, so I developed this kind of forbearance and meek character.

For many years, I have never been so bad in front of my mother. Even if I had that with Lin Dong at the beginning, I really couldn't hold it today. The grievances in the Pei family and the forbearance in the hotel all turned into tears at this moment.

"Silly girl, cry, cry if you feel uncomfortable! It's okay, it's okay!" my mother hugged me back, her voice choked and comforted. I felt her body tremble, but I didn't have time to care.

I cried for an unknown amount of time before I got up from my mother's arms, and my voice was a little hoarse from crying, and I could hardly find any tone.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to let you follow me to such humiliation.

I'm sorry for making you have to go through a deeper trauma after the blow of divorcing Lin Dong.

"What stupid things do you say, in fact, it's nothing, it's just that your dad is very angry, originally you and Shaobei were together, he felt that he was a head low, and today he was said like that in front of so many people by your high school classmates, he couldn't get over it for a while! Alas, it's late, no matter what others say, your parents still hope that you and Shaobei are good! Don't, don't make any more awkward trouble!"

My mother's words stopped talking, but I knew what they meant.

I'm pregnant now, and I can't hide it.

Even if the people around you don't know now, won't they still know if their belly will grow big in a few months. If I hadn't made a marriage before my belly got bigger, the days of ridicule would have been there.

"Mom, I know, I know. However, ...... "I couldn't stop crying, and I couldn't express the resistance in my heart."

"Don't care too much about your parents' affairs, your father just can't come back to his senses for a while, it's okay, wait for this matter to stop in two days, and then you can bring Shaobei over for dinner." My mother comfortingly pulled me to sit on the sofa, "Wanwan, you listen to your mother, if you want to keep this child, don't care too much about appearances." The gap between our family and the Pei family is too big, and your father and I can't catch up no matter how hard we try. Although my mother was also very uncomfortable, there was no way to deny the statement of climbing high branches. Mom doesn't want any wealth from their Pei family, Mom just wants you to be good! I just want you to find a man who is serious about you and live a good life. Your dad and I are sixty years old this year, and we don't know which day we will ......."

My mother's words choked in my throat, and I looked at the gray hair in her ears, and my heart became more and more uncomfortable.

Forced himself to hold back the surging tears, opened his mouth and smiled, "Mom, it's going to be fine! I know what I should do, Pei Shaobei is a calm person, we, we can't quarrel with each other! Don't worry, you and Dad can rest assured!"

I tried my best to comfort my mother, but I couldn't hold back my tears, so I pretended to get up easily and said, "I, I'll go make some honey water for my dad to drink!"
