And how cruel is this result?

The first love and the current husband have stepped onto the stage of the most desperate confrontation, no matter who wins or loses on this stage, it is not the result she wants to see.

Liu Xincheng is kind to her, and Pei Pingyan has affection for her, such kindness, such affection, are all worthy of her life to cherish, rather than having to make such a decisive choice.

*******************************

Pei's Company.

Pei Jingling looked at the information handed over by Zhang Heng: Liu Xincheng went to the United States to install such a laser device in the month after he disappeared, and there was a button on his arm to adjust the intensity of the laser, which means that the laser light in his hand can be large or small, strong or weak. So far, he has not been in contact with Zhao Xinru, he is still alone, of course, the direct target is Jiang Wanru.

When he was looking at the materials, he suddenly heard Jiang Wanru's voice from the secretary group outside, and he heard her bring something for the secretaries of that class to eat.

"Pingyan, do you still have to work overtime?" Jiang knocked on the door and walked in.

"What did you bring with you to eat? I'm hungry too! He quietly pressed a document on Liu Xincheng's investigation materials.

Jiang Wan spread her hands, she bought ice cream on the road, and it had been distributed to his secretaries outside, she blinked and smiled: "Just bring me myself, do you want to eat it?" ”

Pei Pingyan stretched out his hand and motioned for her to come over, looking at her standing in front of him, he smiled: "When did it become so bad?" ”

"Follow the good guys to learn the good guys, and follow the bad guys to learn the bad guys." She looked at him, and the bad guy in her mouth was Pei Pingyan herself.

"I like it." He stood up, took her hand and left. "Where to eat in the evening?"

"Let's go change the dressing first." Jiang Wanru remembered the scar on his chest, and couldn't help but take his hand and go downstairs.

At the hospital, the doctor told them that this was the last time they had a bad experience and that they didn't need to change it again.

After returning home in the evening, Jiang Wanru looked at a series of shallow marks on his chest, but it was finally completely healed, and she looked at him: "Is it still painful?" ”

"If you kiss it, it won't hurt." He teased her.

Jiang Wan leaned his head over, and then followed his shallow imprints, and kissed all the way, I'm sorry, Pingyan, although I have guessed, but I can't find the best way to deal with this matter, I hope you and Xincheng can turn the war into a jade silk.

Pei Pingyan sat on the sofa, stroked her long hair and said, "Why are you like a puppy, licking itchy?" ”

"That's right, the puppy bites ......" Jiang Wanru muttered, but he coldly bit the fruit on his chest, causing Pei Pingyan's body to tremble.

She looked at his expression, and then smiled extraordinarily happily.

Pei Pingyan looked at her and smiled happily in his arms, "It's like, no matter what happens in the future, we have to live like this for the rest of our lives, okay?" ”

"Of course." Jiang Wan pouted and made a playful appearance, "No matter what happens, you have to hold me like this, and you are not allowed to let go, otherwise...... Otherwise......"

"Otherwise what?" He saw that she said two in a row, otherwise there would be no result.

"Otherwise, I'll hold on to you." She frowned and smiled, we have already experienced too much, and the journey in the future must be through thick and thin.

Pei Pingyan looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help hugging her tighter.

"By the way, Pingyan, grandpa is almost 90 years old, how are we going to celebrate grandpa's birthday this year?" Jiang Wanru asked him.

Pei Pingyan said lightly: "Are you worried about this?" ”

"I am also the eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Pei family, so it is appropriate to prepare these things in advance." Jiang Wanru said, "According to our ancient tradition, every tenth birthday should be a big event, but this year is also the first anniversary of Jingling's death, and for grandpa, this birthday is very uncomfortable." ”

Of course, Pei Pingyan also knew this truth, "Let's go to my mother's house tomorrow and ask her if she and grandpa have discussed what to do?" ”

"That's for the best." Jiang Wan seemed to snuggle up in his arms.

**************************

The next day, Pei Pingyan and Jiang Wanru came to Guo Xiangyi's residence as soon as they got off work.

"Mom, I'm back with a peaceful face!" Jiang Wanru greeted as soon as she entered the house, and when she saw Guo Xiangyi picking vegetables by herself, she hurriedly went to wash her hands and then went to pick vegetables together.

Pei Pingyan sat aside, "Mom, why do you do this yourself?" ”

Guo Xiangyi looked at them: "Maybe I'm old, I like to be clean, I don't like someone waiting next to me, and it just so happens that at this time, someone has given birth in the countryside and happens to take care of his daughter-in-law, so I will do these things myself." Speaking of this, she said to Jiang Wanru: "Wanru, you have been busy with a day's work, sit down and rest!" ”

"Mom, it's okay, I want to learn how to cook a few dishes from my mother, I'm sure Pingyan will like to eat them." Jiang Wanru smiled as she spoke, and then looked at Pei Pingyan.

Pei Pingyan was noncommittal, Guo Xiangyi saw this, "Pingyan is talking to your father in the living room, and I will go to the kitchen with Wanru." ”

Jiang Wan was like washing vegetables, and Guo Xiangyi cooked the dishes herself, she said while stir-frying: "Pingyan told me that the soup you made is very delicious." ”

"Really?" Jiang Wanru had never heard Pei Pingyan praise her like this, and now that she heard it from Guo Xiangyi, of course she was a little surprised and excited, but she still had to be modest. "Pingyan is usually tired and busy, and I just want him to relax and relax, and then relieve his fatigue."

Guo Xiangyi said with a smile: "The daughter-in-law of the Pei family chosen by the old man is really visionary. ”

"Mom, don't laugh at me!" Jiang Wanru was a little embarrassed.

Guo Xiangyi looked at her: "You don't know what to do, in the Pei family, only me and you are the daughter-in-law of the Pei family personally selected by the old man of the Pei family, where am I laughing at you!" ”

"Really?" Jiang Wanru really didn't know much about the affairs of their Pei family.

"Moreover, when the general married me and entered the door, he resisted me very much!" Guo Xiangyi fell into memories.

Maybe for the marriage arranged by the adults, the juniors will have a rebellious mentality of resistance, thinking that she and Pei Pingyan both had resisted at the beginning, Jiang Wanru thought in her heart, but listened to Guo Xiangyi continue.

Guo Xiangyi seems to have returned to her girlhood: "However, I fell in love with him from the first time I saw him......"

Jiang Wanru quietly listened to her mother-in-law talk about the past, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, no matter how much Pei Zhijiang resisted Guo Xiangyi at the beginning, but Guo Xiangyi's heart for Pei Zhijiang has never changed from the beginning to the extreme, and after Pei Zhijiang passed away, he wholeheartedly maintained the reputation of the Pei family.

Such a mother-in-law, whether in the heart of Old Man Pei, or in the heart of Pei Zhijiang, and in Pei Pingyan's heart, is undoubtedly a woman with the highest praise.

"Mom, I'll learn from you." Jiang Wanru reached out and touched Guo Xiangyi's hand.

Guo Xiangyi smiled slightly: "Everyone's personality is different, and the way of doing things is different, like, you don't need to learn anyone, you just need to be yourself, and Pingyan is very strong at all times, but he will also have weak times, Mom hopes that when he is lost, you can tell him what is the most important thing." ”

"Mom......" Jiang Wanru shook his head, "The person who is often lost is me, Pingyan has always been the person with the strongest position, how can I remind him?" ”

Guo Xiangyi smiled and patted her hands: "Mom believes in you." ”

When Jiang Wanru wanted to say something, Guo Xiangyi said: "Okay, the dishes have been fried, we have eaten, Pingyan should be hungry." ”

"Okay, I'll serve the food right away." Jiang Wanru opened the kitchen door.

Outside the living room, Pei Pingyan has been standing in front of the portrait of Pei Zhijiang, he has not thought about the great cause of the Pei family, as well as the open and secret battles in the family now, if it is not a one-time eventuality, there will be a danger of the spring breeze blowing again at any time.

However, his father absolutely did not allow him to do this, the Pei family was in his hands, and while carrying it forward, he could not hurt the people of the Pei family. Then, he can only control the bad situation, and control it to the day when it is really uncontrollable.

Jiang Wanru came out with the dishes, and then walked to Pei Pingyan's side: "Pingyan, it's time to eat." ”

Pei Pingyan nodded, and then sat down on the table with her.

Guo Xiangyi looked at them: "Regarding your grandfather's birthday, your grandfather and I have already discussed, this year is my family's dinner, and all relatives and guests are not invited." ”

This own family, of course, is a big family surnamed Pei. This is also in line with what Jiang Wanru and Pei Pingyan thought first, after all, after Pei Jingling's incident, no one still wants to have a birthday.

"Okay, Mom, we've got it." Pei Pingyan began to eat.

After returning from Guo Xiangyi's dinner, Jiang Wanru saw Pei Pingyan's brows frowning slightly, of course she could see that Grandpa Pei's wish, that is, the Pei family should stop fighting openly and secretly, but the situation is not for any one person to have the final say, home, after all, is a place where love is not reasonable, no matter how many reasons are placed at home, they are all pale and powerless, however, when talking about love, it hurts Pei Pingyan's heart the most.

However, she couldn't make any comments on the current situation of the Pei family, so she could only find some other sources of happiness to tease him.

"Pingyan, have you thought about what gift we will give grandpa?" She snuggled into his arms.

Pei Pingyan stared at her: "You've already thought about it?" ”

"Uh......h I can't hide anything from you......" Jiang Wanru stretched out her finger like jade and poked his chest, coquettishly, "How can you know everything that people think?" ”

"But I don't know what the gift is?" He smiled.

"It's strange that you don't know what to do!" Jiang Wanru stared at him with apricot eyes.

Pei Pingyan stretched out his hand to hug her: "However, I know that the gift that Grandpa Lu Dao wants the most is to add another great-grandson to him......"

Jiang Wanru looked at his flat lower abdomen, "But I'm not angry!" It's been no movement! ”

"That's if I don't work hard enough!" He was blowing in her ear. "Let's keep up the good work."

"Itchy......" She was distracted by his breath, and she found that she had no resistance to him now.

When the two were happily arguing, suddenly Pei Pingyan's phone rang.

"Answer the phone!" She panted and pushed him.

Pei Pingyan turned over, took the phone, and his face changed slightly after hearing it.

Zhang Heng called: "Head, the third master suspected that he was arrested for smuggling oil." ”

After he hung up the phone, he lit a cigarette, Jiang Wan didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, she got up and hugged him: "Pingyan, what's wrong?" ”

"Uncle suspected that the smuggling of oil was caught by customs." Pei Pingyan's voice was a little cold.

was arrested at this time, seeing that Mr. Pei's ninetieth birthday was approaching, and this year's birthday was originally planned to be planned, and it was to celebrate with his family's dinner, and now Pei Jingcheng was arrested by the customs for smuggling, for Mr. Pei, it is undoubtedly worse, and his birthday is not happy.

Emotionally, Pei Pingyan should have stood up at this time to clear Pei Jingcheng's smuggling crime, but from the perspective of the Pei family's situation, he could remove an obstacle by standing by and watching, although this obstacle is not big for him, it is better than implementing it himself.

Now Pei Pingyan is struggling with emotions and the situation, Jiang Wanru understands his thoughts, and she can't say anything, just hugging him gently.

Pei Pingyan finished smoking a cigarette, then was quiet for a moment, he turned around and hugged her together, "It's late, let's sleep!" ”

"Yes! I have to go to work tomorrow. She snuggled up to him and closed her eyes.

One night, Pei Pingyan's drowsiness was very shallow, and in the morning, Jiang Wanru was still asleep in a daze, and she heard his phone ring again.

The call was made by Guo Xiangyi, and Pei Pingyan just said, "I know what I said, Mom." ”

When he was together, she woke up, and the two went to the parking lot together after breakfast.

At this time, Pei Xiaoxiao ran over early in the morning: "Big brother, sister-in-law, ......"

Jiang Wanru looked at her crying red eyes, and also guessed what she was doing when she came to Pei Pingyan, she nodded, "Xiaoxiao, here." ”

"Big brother, please save my daddy, okay?" Pei Xiaoxiao looked at Pei Pingyan with red eyes, and her voice was choked.

Pei Pingyan just looked at Pei Xiaoxiao and didn't speak, and Jiang Wanru had to stand aside and didn't know what to say, the relationship between the big families was chaotic and complicated.

"Big brother, Daddy hasn't done well enough in many places, but can you rescue Daddy first, and we will definitely correct it in the future, okay?" Pei Xiaoxiao saw that he was still unmoved, and tears slipped out of his eyes.

Pei Xiaoxiao saw that Pei Pingyan didn't say a word, so she looked at Jiang Wanru for help: "Sister-in-law, I beg you to say something, you can help me beg my eldest brother, okay?" Sister-in-law......"

"Xiaoxiao, now the customs is still investigating, if the uncle is innocent, the customs will definitely return the innocence to the uncle, don't worry." Jiang Wanru comforted her.

Pei Xiaoxiao held Jiang Wanru's hand: "Sister-in-law, Mommy fainted at home, she can't bear Daddy's going to jail, but I don't have the ability to save Daddy's ......"

Jiang Wanru heard this, and looked at Pei Pingyan, Pei Pingyan has always refused to express her position, and she is not sure what this man is thinking, after all, this is a big thing, just like the story of a farmer who was bitten by a snake after saving a snake, he is not an ignorant farmer, of course, he has to weigh the severity before deciding whether to save it.

Jiang Wanru had to reach out and pat Pei Xiaoxiao's back to help her temporarily relieve her breath, a girl who was about to fall apart in the face of her family, she suddenly saw her shadow in Pei Xiaoxiao's body.

"Big brother, I know that I am not qualified to stand here and beg you, I'm sorry!" Pei Xiaoxiao didn't hear Pei Pingyan's voice all the time, and after a while, she turned around and left.

Jiang Wanru's mouth opened, wanting to stop Pei Xiaoxiao, but he didn't say anything.

After Pei Xiaoxiao left, Pei Pingyan called Zhang Heng: "You follow up, report to me at any time if there is progress, and rescue grandpa before his birthday." ”

Jiang Wanru heard him say this, she relieved her heart slightly, after all, everything now is based on Old Man Pei's birthday, and of course, the lesson is also to give Pei Jingcheng a little suffering.

Soon, Mr. Pei's birthday arrived.

On this day, Pei Jingxun and his wife, Guo Xiangyi and Pei Pingyan's family had already arrived at the old courtyard of the Pei family, and only Pei Jingcheng's family did not arrive.

Guo Xiangyi pulled Pei Pingyan aside: "What about your little uncle?" ”

"They haven't arrived, should I send someone to invite them?" Pei Pingyan sighed lightly.

"You honestly told your mother, did anyone come out?" Guo Xiangyi stared at him.

Before Pei Pingyan could speak, the voices of the maids sounded at the door: "The third master's family has arrived!" ”

Guo Xiangyi breathed a sigh of relief, she gently patted Pei Pingyan's hand, "I've wronged you!" ”

Old Man Pei saw that the family had already arrived, and he looked at them: "A lot of things have happened this year, so this birthday, I am not in the mood to hold it in a big way, just eat as a family." ”

Pei Jingcheng walked to Old Man Pei's side, and then knelt beside him: "I'm sorry, Dad, I know that I was wrong!" I won't make these mistakes again in the future. ”

Old Man Pei looked at him and nodded slightly: "You should also be the age of your grandson, you should have been vigilant a long time ago, and you can't make mistakes again, but you are your father's son, and your father still believes in you." ”
