384. Calm Face (102)
Pei Pingyan watched her change into dense new pajamas, and her body was also refreshing and clean, no need to ask, she also knew that she had done all this to deal with the aftermath, and he didn't wake up until now......
He really didn't expect that he would do this, and he closed his eyes in annoyance as he looked at the little woman who was still sleeping in his arms.
Knowing that she was still asleep, he immediately got up and ran out of the bedroom almost in despair.
After sobering up, he knew that he couldn't treat her like this, he had pain, hurt, hatred and bitterness in his heart, but she was always innocent, and she didn't know what happened to Lu Dao back then.
For what?
Why did everything have to happen when it was like a sigh of settlement? He thought that he and she had gone through all the ups and downs, guarding each other's happy times together until they were old.
However, unexpectedly, there was still such a headache that had not been resolved.
This is not about Jiang Wanru, he also knows the truth of Lu Dao, but he doesn't know how to face it.
If this is the most difficult test, then such a test is too sad.
Pei Pingyan came to the company, his head was still a little painful, he sat on the office chair and lit a cigarette.
Jiang Wanru woke up and found that Pei Pingyan was no longer around, her whole body was still in pain, she slowly got up, then went downstairs and asked Zhao Haibo: "Steward Zhao, where is Pingyan?" ”
"Mr. Pei is out early in the morning!" Zhao Haibo said.
"Oh!" Jiang Wanru sat down, ate breakfast and went to work in the company.
She was in a trance when she went to work, she kept thinking about what hit Pei Pingyan had suffered, or what stimulation she had suffered, but she had no clues in her hand, how should she understand this.
She didn't work overtime today, she returned home early, waited until ten o'clock in the evening, and didn't see Pei Pingyan come home, he wouldn't go home so late for a while, what's wrong today?
After she took care of Pei Lele and fell asleep, looking at the child's face that was the same as Pei Ping's, she lowered her head and kissed the child's cheek.
The daughter is the blood that she shares with him, and so is the son. This is a treasure they have together, so no matter what difficulties they encounter, the two of them must work together to overcome everything.
Jiang Wanru didn't leave the room until the child fell asleep, returned to the bedroom, and waited for Pei Pingyan to come home.
When the time rang at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, she still didn't see Pei Pingyan go home, she picked up her mobile phone and dialed it, but fortunately Pei Pingyan also answered the phone. She didn't mention last night's incident, but asked, "Pingyan, are you still busy with work?" Isn't it too late to come back in the evening? ”
Pei Pingyan stayed in the factory, and he was silent for a while before he said: "I won't come back tonight, the factory has something to deal with, you and Lele should sleep first!" ”
"Well, don't be too tired! Rest early is. Jiang Wanru said softly.
"Good!" He hung up the phone, then looked out at the night sky, which had begun to fall silent.
He didn't want to go home, the first was that he didn't know how to face Jiang Wanru, silence was a kind of injury, the words he said were also a kind of injury, and the actions he made were even worse than the birds-beasts, he also needed a shell, like a snail, surrounded himself tightly, not letting the outside world know about his pain, he was also like a cocoon, weaving himself in it and refusing to come out.
And Jiang Wanru didn't mention the pain and grievances he suffered last night, which made him feel even more inconsiderate in handling things, he needed time to calm himself down to deal with it, he was not running away, he just wanted to find a perfect solution, neither hating Jiang Wanru's father, nor being angry with Jiang Wanru.
But what should he do?
Pei Pingyan, who has always been scheming, suddenly felt that he was lost in the word "love", on the one hand, there was the father-son affection that was as kind as a mountain, and on the other hand, the relationship between husband and wife, if he had known all this, would he have let himself withdraw as soon as possible and never see each other again.
If you can not see each other for the first time, then you don't need to fall in love again.
Jiang Wanru stayed at home alone, she slept in the big bed where the two slept together, and the whole room still smelled of him, she told herself, don't worry, Pei Pingyan may really not be able to come back because of business, he is not a playboy and he is not indiscriminate with other women, if it is not for business, it is impossible for him not to go home, he has not gone home so many times before, without exception, it proves such a truth.
It's just that why she can't sleep tonight, her heart is always restless, as if something is missing.
I don't know how long Lu Dao slept, but she still couldn't sleep, so she put on a thin coat and walked out of the room when the night was as cold as water.
She didn't know what she was worried about, was it his loss of control last night, or what he buried in his heart?
However, I vaguely felt that there must be something in his heart, otherwise he would not be drunk and mess around!
But what exactly is it that makes it difficult for him?
Even if he met Fengchen Qi Robert Zhao Xinru and them before, he would not be so painful and so heavy, Guo Xiangyi said that it was related to his happiness, what kind of secret was it that put Pei Pingyan into such an inextricable abyss?
Jiang Wanru thought about it for a long time in the night, but she didn't expect a result, she unconsciously came to the study and sat on the black leather chair where Pei Pingyan usually sits.
When she lifted her foot, she came across a drawer that was not closed properly, she leaned down, and when she reached to close the drawer, she found a small piece of rust exposed, and she couldn't help but gently open the drawer, and then an unlocked tin box.
Jiang Wanru rarely came to look at Pei Pingyan's things, she knew that it was immoral to do this, even if it was between husband and wife, the two of them had privacy to respect each other.
However, she suddenly remembered that the lock that Guo Xiangyi took away and the rusty iron box seemed to be a set, so that is to say, when Guo Xiangyi rushed to Zhao's house, he didn't find what she wanted, and it was possible that Pei Pingyan took it first.
Then, if she opens this iron box now, she will know where the crux of Pei Pingyan's loss of control is, and she will know what the reason why Guo Xiangyi has always wanted to protect it
Jiang Wanru didn't think much about it, she just opened the rusty iron box, and there were two things inside, one was a photo and the other was a postcard.
The person in the photo is very familiar, it is her father and Pei Pingyan's mother, and the postcard is a happy birthday postcard, she looked at the back of the postcard, it turned out to be a paragraph written by her father to herself:
It's like, Happy Eighteenth Birthday! This is your adult life, and it's time to fulfill the peaceful engagement, but Daddy is not by your side and has not been by your side.
It's like, if I can marry the Pei family one day, I hope you can treat your face well, and I hope you can atone for your father's sins, this is the hope that Xiangyi and I share.
Jiang Wanru looked at the date of this paragraph, which was written by her father in prison seven years ago when she was a surrogate mother.
When did Pei Pingyan get this card? What did he learn from this? What does my father owe to the Pei family? So what is the relationship between my father and Guo Xiangyi?
Is all this the reason why Pei Pingyan has been distressed?
No matter what her father owes the Pei family, only Pei Pingyan and Guo Xiangyi know about it, her father has left this world, and she has no chance to ask her father about all this.
So, that is to say, even if she missed her engagement with the Pei family on her eighteenth birthday, at the age of twenty-four, she and Pei Pingyan walked directly into the wedding hall. This is probably the hope that my father and Guo Xiangyi have always had!
No matter what his father once owed the Pei family, but in Pei Pingyan's heart, it was already a knot that could not be untied, otherwise, he would not have drunk last night, and he would not have hugged her and said that he was in pain.
He hurts because he doesn't know what to do!
Could this be the reason why he would rather work overtime than go home?
Jiang Wanru put these two things back in their places, and then returned to the bedroom when it was getting dark.
Every night at twelve o'clock, Jiang Wanru would make a phone call to Pei Pingyan and ask him if he would go home, and the answer he got was yes.
Perhaps it was through the phone line, both of them became unusually humble, but she still didn't mention anything, and he didn't say anything.
Every time she heard him say that he was busy and would not go home for the time being, the loss in her heart would increase by one point.
Two days later, when Jiang Wanru was walking on the street, she saw Pei Pingyan and Zheng Hongyan enter a coffee house together, she happened to go to the customer's place, and she was going to rush back to the company to sign a contract, but she thought that she hadn't seen him for a few days. So, she called him.
"Pingyan, are you free at noon? We had lunch together. She looked in the direction of the café from afar.
Pei Pingyan and Zheng Hongyan had already sat down, and he said on the phone: "It's like, I made an appointment with Miss Zheng at noon, you can eat by yourself!" ”
"Alright then!" Jiang Wanru said a little sadly: "Then don't be too tired!" When you're done, go home, okay? ”
"Okay." Pei Pingyan hung up the phone.
Jiang Wan sat on the promenade of the park, and she watched wordlessly as the autumn wind gradually rose, and the yellow leaves gradually fell with the wind.
Time flies! It's autumn again!
"Girl, accompany my old man to dinner at noon!" A familiar male voice sounded, and Old Man Pei stood in front of her on crutches.
Jiang Wanru looked up, and it turned out to be Old Man Pei! She hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to help him: "Grandpa, I am very happy to accompany you to dinner." ”
The two came to a time-honored Chinese restaurant, and Old Man Pei looked at her: "Girl, what are you busy with lately?" Lost weight again! ”
"Grandpa, there is always endless weight loss in life, so it is the dream of all young people to lose a little thin!" Jiang Wanru couldn't help but smile.
"Nonsense!" Old Man Pei's beard shook, "Pingyan bullied you, didn't he?" ”
"How could it be!" Jiang Wanru forced a smile.
Master Pei snorted: "Pingyan is not busy with work, but he didn't go home, did he?" ”
"......" Jiang Wan couldn't help but be stunned, how could grandpa know the Tao?
Jiang Wanru was silently eating lunch, and then she heard Old Man Pei say: "Pingyan is confused now, confusion will produce the emotion of escape, and escape will produce two kinds of men!" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Jiang Wanru couldn't help but put down his chopsticks.
Old Man Pei smiled slightly: "When encountering something that they can't solve, all people will think about escaping, but among the two kinds of men produced by evasion, one is a good man and the other is a bad man, a good man will escape for a while, he will always come back, and a bad man will escape for a lifetime and will never come back." ”
"Then Pingyan is a good man!" Jiang looked at him expectantly.
"Of course our family is a good man!" Old Man Pei said with a smile. "Isn't it time to eat more and take care of your body, I still count on your great-grandchildren to give me a hug!"
Jiang Wanru smiled embarrassedly, "I will take care of my body, I will work hard." ”
After the two of them finished eating, Jiang Wanru suddenly asked, "Grandpa, do you know what happened between my mother and my father back then?" ”
Old Man Pei mentioned the past, and he looked at her: "Since you asked, I will also say a few words, after I married Xiangyi to the general, I realized that she once had a relationship with your father." ”
"That's all?" Jiang Wanru couldn't help but wonder, "But what did Daddy say for Lu, he's sorry for the Pei family?" ”
"I don't know what to do!" Old Man Pei shrugged his shoulders.
Jiang Wanru thought for a while: "Is it because Daddy and Mom once had a relationship, which ruined the relationship between Dad and Mom?" ”
If this is what Pei Pingyan can't understand? But Pei Pingyan will not be a person who does not understand things, the past feelings, not to mention the old things of adults, there is no reason for him to be so angry, and he will bring his anger home, and it will be transferred to her!
After Jiang Wanru and Old Man Pei separated, she didn't know when Pei Pingyan would be able to figure it out, and she didn't know what happened to Lu Dao back then.
If Pei Pingyan had been refusing to go home, wouldn't she have been unable to understand?
In the evening, after Jiang Wanru accompanied Pei Lele to do his homework, "Lele, do you want daddy?" ”
"Yes! I haven't seen Daddy in days! Pei Lele faced his mother Jiang Wanru, and he naturally revealed the child's feelings.
"Then, Lele will call Daddy, okay?" Jiang Wan looked at him.
"Good!" Pei Lele immediately lifted the phone and dialed Pei Pingyan: "Daddy......"
Pei Pingyan received a call from his son, and at this moment his heart seemed to have been hit hard, and finally the family could be happy together, but when he became unhappy because of the old things of the year, Jiang Wan didn't deserve to bear the innocent sin.
"Daddy, are you done? I'm going to bed, say goodnight to Daddy! Pei Lele said happily.
And when Jiang Wanru listened from the sidelines, she was unusually excited, and she tried to cover her mouth to prevent revealing what she was about to cry.
If Pei Pingyan is nostalgic about what happened back then, will she and Pei Lele and Pei Huanhuan be separated again? Such a family of four is going to face fragmentation again!
She didn't dare to think about it anymore, as long as he came back, just like her father said, no matter what the fault was, she was willing to spend her life to atone for her sins.
Just when Jiang Wanru was more and more sad the more she thought about it, Pei Lele hung up the phone and ran to her, "Mommy, Dad said he would go home now." ”
"Good ......" Jiang Wanru's tears couldn't stop flowing anymore.
She turned her head and controlled her emotions before she said to Pei Lele: "Lele, are you sleepy?" Do you want to wait for Daddy to come back with you? ”
"I'll wait with Mommy for Daddy to come back!" Pei Lele said sensibly.
"Good! Lele is so good, let's wait for Daddy to come home together. Jiang Wan took him into her arms, this little boy who had not missed him for six years, but also the most important person in her life.
The two mothers and sons snuggled up to each other and lit a light for Pei Pingyan to go home, so that no matter when, as long as he was willing to go home, they would wait for him and wait.
When Pei Pingyan's car entered the Aegean Bay, Jiang Wanru and Pei Lele looked at each other and smiled, and the two mothers and sons walked out of the city hand in hand.
When Jiang Wanru and Pei Lele came to the staircase on the second floor together, Pei Pingyan had already returned home, he looked at the two mothers and sons waiting at the staircase, and he walked over slowly.
"Daddy is back!" Pei Lele shouted happily.
"Pingyan, you're back!" Jiang Wanru also looked at him with a smile.
Pei Pingyan stretched out his hand and hugged the two mothers and sons into his arms: "Yes, I'm back!" ”
Jiang Wanru was hugged into his arms at this moment, she stretched out her hand and hugged his waist tightly with both hands, burying her head in his arms, she knew how afraid she was that he would not come back!
But, Pingyan, you're finally back, you're back, aren't you?
She breathed in the smell of his body to her heart's content, and then when she hugged him, she was reluctant to let go for a long time.
Pei Pingyan saw that she was so attached to herself, he stroked her hair, and he had mixed feelings for a while, and he didn't know what words Lu Dao used to describe his contradictory feelings.
However, he knew that the child needed him, the woman needed him, and the family needed him.
"Daddy, are you tired?" Pei Lele broke the silence first.
Jiang Wan found her gaffe when she was like this, and she hurriedly raised her head to look at him: "Pingyan, you're tired!" Go back to the room to take a shower first, I'll send Lele back to the room to rest, and then I'll come back, okay? ”
Pei Pingyan nodded, then let go of the two mothers and sons, and walked towards the bedroom.
After Jiang Wanru sent Pei Lele back to the room, she immediately returned to the bedroom, and heard the sound of water coming from Pei Pingyan in the bathroom, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
It's all getting better, isn't it?
Although she still didn't understand Pei Pingyan's troubles, she thought that she would guard him and this family wholeheartedly.
Jiang Wanru believed that one day, Pei Pingyan would figure it out.
Because, he is Pei Pingyan, he is the omnipotent Pei Pingyan, he is the invincible Pei Pingyan, he is the affectionate and righteous Pei Pingyan, and he is the Pei Pingyan who loves and hates.
Jiang Wanru waited for him to come out of the shower, and she pulled him to sleep with her.
Pei Pingyan looked at her expectant little face, buried in his neck, and her soft body was also nestled in his arms, he reached out to hug her, and for a while, neither of them spoke.
Jiang Wanru knew that he still had a knot in his heart, but his heart was still in contradiction and struggle, and she didn't say anything.
She knew that he would be sad and overwhelmed, and she would give him time, and she was willing to wait for him to come back.
So, at this moment, when he slept beside her again, there was a taste of happiness returning in her heart.
And Pei Pingyan's heart is also full of twists and turns, on the one hand, his wife and children who can't let go, and on the other hand, his father's hatred that he can't let go.
On such a night, although the two of them had words in their hearts, they did not say them, but fell asleep in silence with each other.
*************************
Early the next morning, Pei Pingyan went to work as usual.
While feeling Jiang Wanru's tender and sweet love, he also endured the great torment in his heart that he couldn't let go, he knew that all this was none of Jiang Wanru's business, but he still hoped that she was not born in the Jiang family.
Bar.
Pei Pingyan drank cup after cup, he didn't know how many cups Lu Dao drank, and he didn't know how drunk Lu Dao was, he only knew Lu Dao, he was afraid to see Jiang Wanru's gentle eyes, and the apricot eyes that were looking forward to him.
That was his disappointment to her feelings, he was not a saint before, he couldn't forgive this world, forgive all the people in this world, and he couldn't forgive his dearest people.
Zheng Hongyan saw that he was in a bad mood after work, so she followed him to the bar, and seeing that he was too drunk, she walked to Pei Pingyan's side.
"President, it's time to go home!" She whispered in her ear.
Pei Pingyan shook his head: "I won't go back, I'm afraid I'll see it like a ......."
Zheng Hongyan couldn't help sighing, "Then where will I send you?" ”
"Go to your house." Pei Pingyan said drunkenly.
Zheng Hongyan helped him to his home, "I'll make you a cup of tea!" ”
She went to make a cup of tea, Pei Pingyan knocked over the teacup with one hand, and then grabbed Zheng Hongyan's wrist: "Like, don't be so good to me, you can't hate me like this......"
Zheng Hongyan's eyes drooped, and she couldn't even find words of comfort.
"What did your father do to harm my father back then? For what? Pei Pingyan finally said the hurt in his heart after he was drunk.
