18 He was a little confused
In the memory of Yan Zhen's previous life, Pei Yunyi is a quite topical character. Her knowledge of Pei Yunyi, her own experience is not much, basically from hearsay and various gossip about him.
Pei Yunyi is an illegitimate child of the Pei family, and his existence has cast a lingering shadow on the already fragile relationship between Mrs. Pei and Mr. Pei. Even though Pei Yunyi's biological mother has passed away for many years in order to give birth to Pei Yunyi, Mrs. Pei still can't forget the pain she has experienced. She resented Mr. Pei's betrayal in his marriage, and Mr. Pei was also full of guilt for being obsessed with ghosts.
Pei Yunyi was bullied by other children in the Pei family, and Mrs. Pei naturally did not take care of him because she hated his existence, but allowed this kind of "harmless" unfriendly "communication" between children.
Su Yiqiu's parents worked on an errand in the Pei family, and she often saw Pei Yunyi being abused and bullied, she knew that this was wrong, but she had no way to judge those young ladies and young masters, she could only silently accompany Pei Yunyi and help him deal with his wounds. Pei Yunyi didn't accept her at first, but after a long time, he gradually became attached to her, and she became the only light in Pei Yunyi's life.
The childhood experience made Pei Yunyi moody and dark in his heart, and when he successfully ascended to the throne, he dealt with those who had bullied him, cruel and vicious, and showed no mercy.
Su Yiqiu is not a gentle woman in the traditional sense of the bird, it is said that in order to support Pei Yunyi and help him successfully seize power, she also did a lot of not very bright things during the period.
In her previous life, when Yan Zhen's mental state was worried, Ling Yanchen had sent her to other places to recuperate, and as for why she was sent to a mental hospital later, she had no way of knowing the reason.
Yan Zhen sighed deeply, recalling the few memories of Pei Yunyi in her previous life, and then thinking of the uncomfortable feeling after seeing him today, it was not so much that Pei Yunyi had a black belly, but that he was a madman whose personality was distorted by reality. As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, if she is hated by a madman, she really doesn't know how to fight, and she wants to cry without tears when she thinks about it.
Ling Yanchen and Yan Zhen were sitting in the back seat together, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, Yan Zhen turned his head sideways and glanced at him secretly, then withdrew his gaze without a trace. As long as she still has the protection of the Ling family and Ling Yanchen, Pei Yunyi, a madman, at least on the bright side, has no way to take her.
If the development of her previous life continued to deviate, and Ling Yanyu did not propose to her, or he might not die to save Su Yiqiu, then she obediently canceled the marriage contract, and then cried so much that she said that she would fulfill Ling Yanyu, and then take a step back and strive to be Mrs. Ling's goddaughter. Mrs. Ling will definitely not refuse her, at that time, Ling Yanchen will be her godbrother, and she can be regarded as having her back against the big tree and relying on her.
If she is very unfortunate and can't escape the fate of her previous life, she still marries Ling Yanyu, and he also dies, then she will be widowed for him and fulfill her filial piety to Mrs. Ling in the Ling family instead of him.
In this way, no matter how she chooses, Yan Zhen's back road will not be too bad, and she suddenly put her mind at ease.
In her previous life, Yan Zhen pushed her protector away with her own hands and made herself to the edge of a cliff, now she is sober and rational, she will not do such a stupid thing again, she believes that the ending will definitely be different.
Today, Ling Yanchen's assistant was driving, and it was almost time to get off work at this time. On the way back to the company, Yan Zhen's mobile phone suddenly rang, and she saw that it was Mrs. Ling calling.
Yan Zhen thought about it, anyway, the assistant knew the relationship between her and Ling Yanyu, and now that Mrs. Ling called, she didn't need to deliberately avoid it, so she picked it up, "Hey, aunt." β
Ling Yanchen was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, but when the phone rang, he slowly opened his eyes. Hearing Yan Zhen's title, he naturally guessed that the person on the other end of the phone should be his mother.
Mrs. Ling on the other end of the phone asked, "Are you going home for dinner today?" β
"I'll be back, but it might be later." Yan Zhen replied truthfully: "I went out for a meeting with my eldest brother this afternoon, and I am on my way back to the company at this time, and I will drive back when I get to the company, it should be about half an hour later than yesterday, you don't have to wait for me to eat." β
When Mrs. Ling heard this, she couldn't help asking, "Is Yan Chen by your side?" β
Yan Zhen turned her head to glance at Ling Yanchen, and found that the other party was also looking at her at the same time, so she hurriedly withdrew her gaze, "Well, the eldest brother is next to me." β
"Then you ask him if he wants to come back for dinner in the evening?" Mrs. Ling asked casually.
"......" Yan Zhen was silent for a moment, tilted her head sideways, and asked softly, "Big brother, aunt asked if you want to go back for dinner?" β
Ling Yanchen pondered for a moment, there was no important entertainment today, and said, "Go back." β
Yan Zhen told Mrs. Ling that Ling Yanchen would go back for dinner, and Mrs. Ling was so happy that she hurriedly said that she wanted to add a few more dishes to the kitchen.
After Yan Zhen chatted with Mrs. Ling a few more words, and after hanging up the phone, Ling Yanchen asked, "Did you drive to work by yourself today?" β
"yes." In order to show that she did not get special treatment because of the back door, Yan Zhen explained: "I now drive to and from work by myself, and the time is flexible and more convenient." β
Ling Yanchen snorted, "We can go home directly and let the driver take you to work tomorrow." He paused and continued, "Do you think it's okay for me to do that?" β
Yan Zhen guessed that Ling Yanchen wanted to have dinner early and go back to his apartment to rest earlier, so he replied briskly: "Yes." β
Ling Yanchen instructed the assistant who was driving seriously: "Xiao Guo, you stop at the intersection in front of you, take a taxi back by yourself, and keep the invoice for reimbursement." β
To be an assistant to the boss, the most important thing is to have eyes and know how to advance and retreat, Assistant Guo didn't have a word of nonsense, immediately agreed, and stopped at the intersection. Ling Yanchen also got out of the car and sat in the driver's seat. After Assistant Guo saw the car leave, he took out his mobile phone to call a taxi.
While waiting for the bus, Assistant Guo couldn't help but have countless thoughts in his mind, thinking that Mr. Ling called him a few days ago and asked him to go to the mall to buy a pair of women's slippers, and specify the brand, requiring that they be the kind that can be worn outside.
At that time, Assistant Guo's mind was confused, but fortunately, he didn't forget to ask for shoe size, but Mr. Ling didn't seem to know either. As an assistant, he has always been witty, and immediately asked Mr. Ling about the height and body type of the other party.
Until now, Assistant Guo still clearly remembers Mr. Ling's answer, Mr. Ling said: "It's probably up to my shoulders, it's very thin." β
Assistant Guo thought that the other party was Mr. Ling's girlfriend, after all, the location was on the plank road near the fountain, which was a famous dating mecca. So when he saw that the person who was with Mr. Ling was Yan Zhen at first glance, the whole person felt psychedelic. It's a relationship...... He was a little confused.
Yan Zhen is the fiancΓ©e of Mr. Ling's younger brother, but Assistant Guo feels that Mr. Ling and Yan Zhen are standing together, and the picture is harmonious and perfect, and it is very compatible. This fleeting thought is really terrible.
Can't vainly try to discuss and speculate on the boss's private affairs, Assistant Guo shook his head, leaving this unfounded idea behind.
At this moment, Yan Zhen felt that she was a little inflated, Ling Yanchen was being her driver! She was still hesitant to sit in the passenger seat, but thinking of her relationship with Ling Yanchen, it was more appropriate to sit in the back seat honestly.
Yan Zhen wanted to get along with Ling Yanchen as much as possible, but with her current status as Ling Yanyu's fiancΓ©e, staying alone with Ling Yanchen for a long time always made her a little uncomfortable.
Yan Zhen didn't want to have nothing to say, Ling Yanchen was as silent as ever, he always talked little, he always had something to say with his acquaintances, and never said a word of nonsense, let alone Yan Zhen, who was not too familiar with him.
Although the atmosphere in the car was eerily quiet, Yan Zhen felt extremely relieved, especially after meeting Pei Yunyi.
Yan Zhen was reborn, walking in the world is a new state of mind, she is now more open, and cherishes the present even more, if she cares too much about life, so that she is cautious and walking on thin ice, wouldn't it be a little ridiculous? What about Pei Yunyi, what about Su Yiqiu and Ling Yanyu, and what does this have to do with the life she wants? None of these people could stop her from pursuing the good life she wanted.
What's more, no matter how vicious Pei Yunyi is, Yan Zhen still has a genuine "thigh" Ling Yanchen by her side to hug, just like a Dinghai God Needle, why should she be afraid? She's not a vegetarian!
Today's dinner is really sumptuous, Mrs. Ling is really happy, the two sons don't live at home, it is rare to see each other, the youngest daughter went to study abroad, and her husband went to pursue hobbies again, fortunately, Yan Zhen was by her side every day, so she was not too lonely.
Yan Zhen has an average appetite today, she didn't eat much, and she put down her chopsticks after using a small half bowl of rice.
Mrs. Ling said to Ling Yanchen with a smile: "You eat so little every day, and you swim at night, you young people are really full of energy. You sit in the office every day, but you have to study hard with Zhenzhen and exercise more, which is good for your body. β
Ling Yanchen was a little unaware when he heard the word "swimming", which would remind him to recall some pictures that he shouldn't remember.
After dinner, Ling Yanchen chatted with Mrs. Ling for a while, of course, most of the time it was his mother who was talking, and he was listening, giving one or two echoes at the right time.
Ling Yanchen completed the "task" of accompanying Mrs. Ling, so he went directly to the study, turned on the lamp, and glanced out the window.
Ling Yanchen's expression seemed to have a slight struggle, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his composure and continued to browse the information. Soon, he finally couldn't hold back the emotions that were surging in his heart, got up, and walked to the window. When he was still about half a meter away from the window, he stopped abruptly.
Ling Yanchen's eyes were lowered, he didn't know what he was thinking, and in the end, he seemed to be calm, but his movements were a little unsteady, and he slammed the curtain shut. Heavy blackout curtains block out all the light from the outside world, as if separating the outside of the window from the inside of the house into two different worlds.
Ling Yanchen buttoned up his cufflinks, turned around and walked towards the bookcase, his steps were steady, and his expression was as calm and calm as ever. If anyone sees him at this moment, they will definitely sigh that he has always been the Ling Yanchen who will not make mistakes and will not disappoint.
