Chapter 185: When, Where, and Who? [Thank you @ Yiyi children's diamonds]
"How?" Pei Yanqiao's palm held the steering wheel steadily, his eyes calmly put in front and did not look at Duan Xuchu, he hooked his thin lips and sneered coldly, "What decision did you Duan Xuchu make, when did you ask others 'how' and ask for others' opinions?" Now that you asked, it means that you are not sure about it, and you feel unreliable, don't you? ”
"Our search operation this time is so huge, we all know that as long as Li Shaochong uses communication equipment to contact us, we can immediately determine their location here, and if we are as cautious as Li Shaochong, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, so don't say whether he agrees to the exchange, we can't contact him at all. And Li Shaochong's goals are three: 1 is Wei Wei, 2 is the power of M2K scattered in your hands and me, 3 is the four major chaebols, only the power in our hands can not be exchanged for Wei Weiwei, and besides, can you annex the four major families at once in a short period of time, and then return them to Li Shaochong with both hands? ”
Duan Xuchu leaned back in his chair weakly when he heard this, and closed his eyes in pain, "I know all of this, but what you don't know is how important Wei Wei is to me. He shook his head, bitterness on his lips, "You probably think it's not worth exchanging the power of M2K for the only woman in Wei, but for me, Weiwei is everything to me, and I'd rather lose everything than live without her." You are not me, and you can't forgive my feelings at all......"
"Can't you understand people's words?!" Pei Yanqiao interrupted Duan Xuchu's muttering, suddenly braked suddenly, and turned his head to look at Duan Xuchu, when a cluster of flames ignited in his eyes, the three young men of the Pei family, who had always laughed and lazy, started a big fire at this moment, "Do you think that you are the only one who cares about Wei Wei, and everyone else is hard-hearted?" Look at what you look like now - anxious, impulsive, emotional, blindly drilling the horns, where is the king who directs the country, looks down on the changes, and seems to control the life and death and destiny of all people? ”
"At this moment, you are more like a resentful woman looking for death and life for love! If you panic, you can fight with me happily, or get drunk, at least can you be like a man? ”
Duan Xuchu was stunned, pursed his lips and didn't answer for a long time.
Although Pei Yanqiao's words are heavy, they are not unreasonable.
On the one hand, Duan Xuchu didn't want to get drunk and indulge himself, so as not to delay the big thing, but on the other hand, he was trapped in the pain of losing Wei Wei and couldn't extricate himself.
People are like this, it may not matter if they have never had it, but after having it, it is the most painful thing to lose it, six years ago and Wei Wei were not in love, so after Wei Wei left, he could live normally alone.
However, now that he is about to marry Wei Weiyi, Wei Wei is pregnant with their child in her belly, but he suddenly loses her, this feeling is nothing more than being in heaven one second, and falling into eighteen layers of hell the next second.
Duan Xuchu opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at the sky through the car window.
The rainbow is gone.
The two sat silently in the car for more than ten minutes, and the soaked clothes on their bodies were also dried by the heater, Duan Xuchu took off his seat belt, "Let's go in for dinner!" After speaking, he opened the car door and went down, and walked into the restaurant calmly with his slender legs.
Pei Yanqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in side by side with the previous paragraph, and Pei Shuyi called Pei Yanqiao during the meal.
Duan Xuchu was finally woken up by Pei Yanqiao's words, and after eating, his face gradually recovered his blood, and when he saw Pei Yanqiao put away his mobile phone, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked in a low voice: "How is the instructor's situation?" ”
"My mother said on the phone that she had just been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward, and she was out of danger, but she was ......" Pei Yanqiao said this, and put one hand into a fist against his lips, and his eyes were slightly red when he turned his face away, "It's just that I'm still in a coma, and I don't necessarily wake up when I will wake up." Maybe tonight, tomorrow, maybe forever and so on. ”
In medical terms, it can be summed up in simple but cruel terms, that is, to become a vegetative person.
Duan Xuchu pursed his lips when he heard this, and after being silent for a long time, he put vegetables in Pei Yanqiao's bowl, "Compared to death, this is already the best result, at least there is still hope." Otherwise, if an accident like Yan Jin happens again, how can Aunt Pei support it? ”
Pei Yanqiao remembered the suppressed crying voice of his mother on the phone just now, and the god-like man he once admired, but now he was lying unconscious on the bed, his heart was clenched, and his voice became hoarse, "My eldest brother and my dad are both affected because of me, if I had told my dad in advance, or if I hadn't missed his call, he wouldn't have looked for him, so that he ......", but the next words couldn't be said.
The comfort paled, and Duan Xuchu himself was also very guilty, in the end, he was just smart but was mistaken by cleverness, not only Pei Tingqing almost died, but even Wei Wei was taken away by Li Shaochong, for them, such a price is too great.
Duan Xuchu suddenly remembered another thing, "Yan Qiao." He looked at Pei Yanqiao, twisted his eyebrows and asked seriously: "Have you been in contact with Pei Yanjie all these years?" Have you seen her grow up and know her personality and preferences? ”
Pei Yanqiao shook his head, "I didn't know anything about her before she returned to China, and I have always paid attention to the movements of everyone in the Pei family, so as soon as she came back, I asked people to investigate her." Speaking of this, Pei Yanqiao's pupils contracted suddenly, and his eyes looked at Duan Xuchu with deep eyes, "Ah Chu, you mean that she is very likely not Pei Yanjie?" After all, she has been abroad since she was born, and we have not seen her, and even Pei Tingqing has not paid attention to this daughter over the years. ”
Duan Xuchu was noncommittal, "I've done a paternity test first." He took a napkin and wiped his hands, called the waiter to settle the account, stood up and said to Pei Yanqiao: "I'll go to the hospital with you to see the instructor." ”
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, the neon lights of the city were lit up, and it was nearly eight hours since Wei Wei disappeared, and Duan Xuchu counted the time, feeling as if it had been a full eight years.
After Duan Xuchu sat in the passenger seat, Mao Mao suddenly jumped on Duan Xuchu's lap, which made Pei Yanqiao startled, "Why is Wen Jiaren, this strange cat, here?" Pei Yanqiao and Wen Jiaren knew each other when they were on the island, and this magical cat followed Wen Jiaren at that time.
Mao Mao heard the disgust in Pei Yanqiao's words, turned her head and yelled at Pei Yanqiao fiercely, Duan Xuchu stroked the soft fur on its body and quieted it down, "I snatched it from Wen Jiaren and gave it the only one to play, now that the house by the sea has been burned down, it is also homeless, wherever I go, it will follow me." ”
Duan Xuchu let Mao Mao sleep on his knees, and Mao Mao curled himself up in a ball and fell asleep carefree.
Duan Xuchu's lips hooked up with a smile.
Silly cat.
In order to avoid missing any phone calls, Duan Xuchu changed the original vibration to a ringtone, and chose the song "Today You Are Going to Marry Me", because he heard Pei Yanqiao say that Wei Wei liked it very much, and he also wanted to sing it to her when he proposed, but he didn't expect it to develop like this.
But it doesn't matter, he will definitely not give up Wei Weiyi, sooner or later Wei Wei will hear him sing to her.
Dozens of minutes later, Duan Xuchu and Pei Yanqiao stood outside the ward, and after knocking on the door, Pei Shuyi walked out, crying so much that her eyes were swollen, and she still reluctantly smiled when she saw the two of them, "You guys are here." ”
Duan Xuchu nodded gently, "Aunt take care of your body." And Pei Yanqiao walked in with Pei Shuyi's shoulders and put the packed dinner on the table, "Mom, I brought your favorite dishes, eat them while they're hot!" ”
Pei Shuyi shook her head with a pale face, "Mom is not hungry, you and Ah Chu can eat!" Saying that, her eyes fell on Pei Tingqing, who was lying there, sad and in a trance, and it took a long time to turn around and ask Duan Xuchu: "How is it, have you found the only one?" ”
"Not yet, but don't worry." Duan Xuchu's fingers were pinched together, but his expression and voice were still as gentle as ever, comforting Pei Shuyi and himself, "So many people are searching throughout the city, there should be news soon." ”
Pei Shuyi nodded when she heard this, "That's good." She walked to the chair next to the hospital bed and sat down again, held one of Pei Tingqing's hands with both hands, and stared at Pei Tingqing's sleeping handsome face, and the tears in Pei Shuyi's eyes welled up again.
Duan Xuchu didn't have anything else to do here, and was about to say hello and go back with Pei Yanqiao, when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
Duan Xuchu hadn't looked back yet, and Pei Yanjie's pleading voice came, "Mom, dad has an aunt to take care of, what are you doing so late?" Let's go back first, and come back tomorrow to see Dad. ”
Pei Shuyi's body stiffened when she heard this, let go of Pei Tingqing's hand, and then gently put it back into the quilt, when Pei Shuyi stood up, Ning Lianmeng had already walked to her, and pushed Pei Shuyi away without saying a word, and then she sat at the head of the bed and stroked Pei Tingqing's face with her hand, her thin shoulders trembled, and she almost choked up and said, "Tingqing, wake up......"
Pei Shuyi staggered after being pushed away, and hurriedly held Pei Yanqiao's outstretched arm, standing there watching the man she loved deeply being caressed by his wife, listening to Ning Lianmeng's crying, she didn't know what name she should stay here.
"Ah Chu, brother." Pei Yanjie was also embarrassed in the face of this situation, and after greeting the two, she walked over and grabbed Ning Lianmeng's arm, begging softly, "Mom, let's go back!" Daddy doesn't like you to stay here, if he wakes up......"
"Wake up?" Ning Lianmeng turned her head abruptly, shook off Pei Yanjie's arm, and said with a sneer: "You didn't hear the doctor just now say that you became a vegetative person and won't wake up again?" The Pei family also learned the news, if I hadn't tried my best to stop them, I guess they would all have come over. ”
There is no doubt that Pei Tingqing can't wake up from such a long sleep, which means that the entire Pei family chaebol is going to change masters, Ning Lianmeng has no status and prestige in the Pei family all these years, and everyone in the Pei family knows that she is just the nominal wife of the Pei family, just supporting a table to the outside world, and now that Pei Yanjin is dead, then the only people who are qualified to inherit the Pei family chaebol are Pei Yanjie and Pei Yanqiao.
Ning Lianmeng has suffered too many grievances and neglects over the years, whether it is in front of the rest of the Pei family or Pei Tingqing's husband, and she has accumulated too much resentment because of this.
Pei Tingqing became the current situation, but gave Ning Lianmeng a chance to turn over and take revenge, when she said this, the gentleness and coquettishness of the past were completely gone, but she looked down on Pei Shuyi and a few people from above.
She still smiled on her young and delicate face, standing there with a slender figure, in the end, she was born in a famous family, had a high education and good temperament, even if she was more flamboyant and domineering, it would not be annoying, "Since Shuyi is here, I want to ask Shuyi what she thinks about whether it is Yanjie or Yanqiao inheriting the Pei family's chaebol?" ”
Pei Yanjie raised her beautiful eyebrows when she heard this, glared at Ning Lianmeng with black and beautiful eyes, and said reproachfully, "Mom, what are you talking about?" In fact, my brother is older than me, and my eldest brother is dead, it should be my brother's ......", before the words were finished, Ning Lianmeng swept towards her with a cold warning look, and she pouted and suddenly didn't dare to say any more.
"Mrs. Pei, you're too worried." Pei Shuyi lowered her eyebrows, but she did not look humble, but polite and indifferent, "Yan Jie is the second lady of the Pei family, although she is a little younger, she has a stable temperament and can take on big responsibilities, my family Yan Qiao is too immature and has no qualifications and ability to take care of the Pei family's business." ”
Duan Xuchu and Pei Yanqiao sat on the sofa over there, and they didn't express any opinions from beginning to end, Ning Lianmeng didn't expect it to be solved so smoothly, and originally thought that there would be a quarrel with Pei Shuyi, but it turned out that Pei Shuyi didn't care about these at all.
This made Ning Lianmeng's resentment for many years even more nowhere to vent, but on the surface, he sat back on the edge of the bed very calmly, "I was busy with Yan Jin's funeral this afternoon, so I had time to rush over to take care of Ting Qing." Without looking back, she ordered a few people to be evicted, "Now that I'm here, Shuyi, you better go back and rest early!" ”
Pei Shuyi bit her lip when she heard this, and wanted to say something, but in the end she could only nod silently, but Pei Yanjie was immediately unhappy, and went up to Lan Ning to pity her dreams, "Mom, what are you doing?" It's okay to have my aunt stay, let's go home! ”
Ning Lianmeng suddenly found the flashpoint when she heard this, and was about to say insulting words when she turned around, but at this moment, a cat suddenly jumped on her chest, and then stretched out its claws to rip the smooth skin on her face.
Ning Lianmeng was caught off guard by Maomao's face and was scratched with blood, she was so frightened that she stood up suddenly, shocked and completely gone, "Where is this wild cat?!" While trying to shake off Maomao, Maomao jumped behind her back and grabbed her neck, Ning Lianmeng hurriedly asked Pei Yanjie for help, "Yanjie quickly drive the cat away, quickly!" ”
"I ......" Pei Yanjie was just about to walk over, Duan Xuchu on the other side of the sofa recalled Mao Mao in a serious tone, "When did you learn to arrest people?" Don't get back yet! ”
Mao Mao screamed when he heard this, as if he was very aggrieved, after jumping off Ning Lianmeng's back, he returned to Duan Xuchu's knees, Duan Xuchu touched Mao Mao's head, raised his head to look at Ning Lianmeng, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry aunt, I'm just an undomesticated wild cat, and I'm a little stubborn on weekdays, aunt looks at my face, so don't worry about a beast." ”
A pun intended.
Duan Xuchu not only scolded Ning Lianmeng, but also told Ning Lianmeng that the wild cat had not been vaccinated or anything like that, and it was very likely to carry some viruses.
Pei Yanjie saw that Ning Lianmeng was gone, she bowed deeply to Pei Shuyi, "Auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't stop my mother, so I asked my mother to come over to find you trouble, next time it will definitely not be, and I will block those people in the Pei family for my aunt." ”
Pei Shuyi knew her identity, and she was not angry at first, but seeing Pei Yanjie apologize so solemnly, she was a little embarrassed, "No, the matter between adults has nothing to do with you, a junior." ”
Pei Shuyi was about to walk over as she spoke, but Pei Yanqiao suddenly grabbed Pei Yanjie's back collar from behind, "You can go." Without waiting for Pei Yanjie to react, Pei Yanqiao easily carried her and threw her out of the door, and closed the door from the inside with a "bang".
Pei Shuyi saw that Pei Yanqiao's attitude was not good, and was about to blame a few words, Pei Yanqiao came over and hugged her shoulder, "Okay, Mom, don't worry so much, and don't worry about anyone disturbing you and Dad, I will take precautions." If you don't want to go back, just stay here, there is a bed in the inner room where you can rest, and I will come back early tomorrow morning. ”
Pei Shuyi really wants to be by Pei Tingqing's side, although Pei Tingqing is in a state of sleep, but on the other hand, Pei Shuyi also has the opportunity to stay with Pei Tingqing, even if she doesn't do anything, she just looks at Pei Tingqing.
Pei Shuyi nodded and didn't say anything more.
Pei Yanqiao walked to Pei Tingqing's bedside, leaned over and stretched out his hand to pull down a few strands of Pei Tingqing's hair, and after saying hello, Pei Yanqiao and Duan Xuchu left the ward together.
Duan Xuchu was still holding Maomao in his arms, stopped at the chair in the corridor, turned his head and asked Pei Yanqiao, "How is it, have you also got Pei Yanjie's hair?" ”
Pei Yanqiao nodded, took out a handkerchief to wrap his hair separately, "What about Ning Lianmeng?" ”
"Hmm." Duan Xuchu let Mao Mao pounce on Ning Lianmeng's body, in fact, the real purpose was to let Mao Mao grab a few of Ning Lianmeng's hair and use it for him to do a paternity test.
Pei Yanqiao called his subordinates and handed over the hair of Pei Tingqing, Ning Lianmeng and Pei Yanjie to his subordinates, and asked them to take them to the doctor for identification.
Then Pei Yanqiao stretched out his long arm and hooked Duan Xuchu's shoulder without saying anything, almost dragging Duan Xuchu to the elevator, "Don't you sleep well and do impulsive things, you go to sleep with me tonight." ”
Duan Xuchu's coat was not buttoned, and he was afraid of the cold in the rain, so he got directly into Duan Xuchu's coat, and was hugged by Duan Xuchu to sleep in the crook of his arm against his shirt.
Duan Xuchu looked down and saw Pei Yanqiao's arm hooked around his neck, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Pei Yanqiao seriously, "Are you sure it's really good for us to do this?" ”
Pei Yanqiao: "......"
***
When Wei Wei woke up, a dazzling light came in from the window, and she subconsciously closed her eyes, only to feel that her whole body was soft, her limbs were weak, and her whole brain was still groggy, trapped in yesterday's terrible nightmare, and she didn't react for a long time.
Until the door to the room was pushed open, a low and somewhat familiar voice came, "Are you awake?" ”
Wei Wei's body stiffened suddenly, and the next second she sat up from the bed, staring at the slender and upright figure walking in the backlight with wide eyes.
