"Let's eat seafood," Lin Xiaojie said.
"Anything is fine".
The two came to a late-night snack shop. After entering the private room, Lin Xiaojie asked the boss to bring the wine first.
"Xiaojie, can you drink?"
"It's okay. I'm fine now. Donglai, thank you very much. I really couldn't have survived that period without you."
"It's all over," Pei Donglai said.
"Yes, everything is over," Lin Xiaojie sighed, with a little sadness on her face.
"Xiaojie, why do you work here?" Pei Donglai was confused.
"These are all arranged by my father."
"Are Mr. Chen and Mr. Cao familiar with each other?"
"I didn't ask about their relationship."
While we were chatting, the seafood dinner was served. Lin Xiaojie raised her cup and said, "Lai Dong, I'd like to greet you, thank you." After that, Lin Xiaojie toasted.
After a few drinks, Lin Xiaojie said under the influence of wine: "Dong Lai, I'm sorry, I lied to you."
"Stop talking about Xiaojie, Mr. Chen has already explained it, and I can understand it."
At this time, Zhang Yutong made a video call, and Pei Donglai slid over to answer the call, "You haven't gone to bed yet, so you quietly ran out to play?"
"Eating late night snack".
"Oh, with whom?"
"Xiao...Xiaojie", Pei Donglai always felt a little awkward.
"Oh, okay, you can eat, I won't disturb you anymore."
"Yutong..." Before Pei Donglai could finish speaking, Zhang Yutong hung up.
"Is Yutong angry?"
"No, she knows about us, she won't be so stingy."
"Yu Tong came to see me. I remember she was very beautiful and kind-hearted. Are you ready to get married?"
"No?" Pei Donglai shook his head.
"And you?"
Lin Xiaojie smiled slightly, was silent for a while, and said, "I will never get married again."
"Drink." Pei Donglai didn't know what to say, so he could only use wine instead.
After putting down the cup, Lin Xiaojie said: "Dong Lai, I heard my father say before that you were investigating my car accident?" "
"Well, the clues were broken after checking later. Do you know who it is?"
Lin Xiaojie shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't know either. I thought it was an accident at the time. It was only after my father told me that I realized it was not an accident."
"Is it possible that it's Zhou Defei?"
Lin Xiaojie was silent for a moment and shook her head, "I don't know if it's him or not. He and I don't have any big differences."
When it came to Zhou Defei, Pei Donglai wanted to ask about the past, but it was difficult to ask. After all, they were divorced. It didn't mean much whether they were true or false.
"Xiaojie, although you have left Jiangcheng, you must pay attention to safety here."
"Thank you, Donglai, I know, my father also told me before."
"Has Mr. Chen judged it?"
"Three years".
"Is it that serious?"
"Well, you still have to pay for your crimes and make meritorious service."
"I'll find some connections to see him when I go back."
"Thanks".
"Go back, Xiaojie, it's too late."
"Well, I'll come over and take you to breakfast tomorrow."
"No, you are busy with your business. We will have free time tomorrow to see Shenzhen. Mr. Cao is back, just give me a call to let me know."
The two walked out of the supper shop and separated.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Pei Donglai took out the keys and bank card that Chen Jian gave him from his bag and handed them to Lin Xiaojie. "This is what your father gave you."
"It's for you. He told me, no need to give it to me."
"Xiaojie, take it, how can I ask for it?"
"Donglai, these are not my things. If you don't want to take them, just give them to him when he comes out. I won't take them." After saying this, Lin Xiaojie took a taxi and left.
When Pei Donglai returned to the hotel, it was almost 12 o'clock. He picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhang Yutong: Darling, are you asleep?
The message was lost, and there was no reply.
The next day, Lin Xiaojie called early in the morning, "Are you up? I'll wait for you downstairs to have breakfast."
"No need to bother, Xiaojie, you can go back, we can just eat at the hotel."
"I've asked for leave, come down."
After going downstairs, Lin Xiaojie said: "Let me take you to eat rice rolls. Although they are available all over the country, the ones in Guangdong are the most authentic."
"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to trouble you so much," Wu Jing said politely.
"We are fellow villagers. Don't be so polite. I should do my best to be a landlord."
After eating breakfast, Wu Jing said she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she returned to the hotel to rest, leaving the two of them alone.
"Xiaojie, you go back, I'm going back to the hotel to rest."
"No, it's a rare visit to Shenzhen. I'll take you to have some fun. How about we go to the beach?"
"No," Pei Donglai declined.
"Are you afraid that Yutong will be angry?" Pei Donglai was indeed right by Lin Xiaojie.
After that message was sent, Zhang Yutong didn't reply. This morning, Pei Donglai called, but the other party didn't answer. It seemed that she was angry.
Women are so sensitive during love, and even the sensible Zhang Yutong is no exception.
"I really don't want to go."
"Okay, I won't force you. I'll take you back." Lin Xiaojie drove Pei Dong to the hotel.
"I've already made a reservation for lunch. It's nearby. I'll call you when the time comes."
"You really don't have to be so polite, Xiaojie."
"I'm doing this partly for work. Mr. Cao called me to tell me that I have to receive you well. The other half is that we should still be friends. Have you forgotten what you said before?"
"Okay, it's just too much trouble for you."
"You didn't mind taking care of me before. Let's go. See you at noon." Lin Xiaojie drove away.
During lunch, Lin Xiaojie and Wu Jing became more and more interested in talking. The two women decided to go to the mall to buy clothes together after the meal.
"You go ahead, I'm a man and have no interest in buying clothes."
"No, you have to serve us," Lin Xiaojie said.
"Yes, yes, President Pei, you have always been a gentleman." Wu Jing followed up with a last strike.
The two women walked in front, and Pei Donglai followed behind. When they were together in the past, Pei Donglai knew that shopping for clothes with Lin Xiaojie was the most depressing. He tried on all the clothes in the store without buying a single one. One family, the same operation was repeated.
Forget it, I just keep asking you if you look good, what makes you good-looking, and what makes you look bad, even if you want to be perfunctory. For men, cutting your head is a kind of torture.
Now Lin Xiaojie was embarrassed to ask Pei Dong, but she still had to wait for her.
The two women went shopping together from noon to 8 pm and bought a lot of clothes. Pei Donglai only bought Zhang Yutong a watch to show that he had been to Shenzhen.
After dinner, Lin Xiaojie brought some clothes to Pei Donglai and said, "I bought this for Yutong, please help me take it back."
"Why are you buying clothes for her? You can keep them for yourself."
"If you don't want to, I'll send it myself." Lin Xiaojie was a little angry.
"Take it, President Pei, don't let Mr. Lin down." Wu Jing has been bribed by Lin Xiaojie today and helps Lin Xiaojie in everything.
"You guys go back and rest. I'm leaving too. I'll let you know when Mr. Cao arrives tomorrow. Goodbye." Lin Xiaojie drove away.
"Mr. Lin is a very nice person," Wu Jing said to herself in the elevator.
"Did she also buy you clothes today?"
"Well, she paid for all of this. She's short-handed, so of course she put in a good word and bought it for you."
"No way, isn't this bought for Yutong?"
Wu Jing smiled but did not answer. When she returned to the room, Pei Donglai opened the bag and found a Hermès men's belt inside.
