At noon, Zhang Yutong called. After Pei Donglai pressed the answer button, the other party did not speak and just cried.
"What happened, Yutong?" Pei Donglai asked anxiously.
After a long time, Zhang Yutong said: "My dad has liver cancer, which is in the advanced stage."
Pei Donglai rushed to the hospital urgently and came to the ward. He saw Zhang Yutong and his mother sitting on the edge of the bed, with Guo Dehao standing behind.
Seeing Pei Donglai come in, Zhang Yutong threw himself into his arms and started sobbing. Guo Dehao on the side cast a jealous and hateful look.
After a while, Father Zhang opened his eyes and said weakly: "You guys go out first, Dehao and I will chat for a while."
The three of them walked out of the ward. Outside the ward, Zhang's mother said, "Are you Pei Donglai?"
"Yes, Auntie".
Mother Zhang just glanced at Pei Donglai and didn't ask any more questions.
More than 10 minutes later, Guo Dehao walked out. He came to Pei Donglai and said disdainfully: "Mr. Zhang asked you to come in."
Pei Donglai walked into the ward and saw Father Zhang who was haggard and thin, which was in huge contrast to his previous domineering image.
"Sit down, Xiao Pei," Zhang's father said weakly.
Pei Donglai sat down slowly, "Uncle Zhang..."
"Xiao Pei, I know you and Yutong have been together for a while. I often hear Yutong say that you treat her very well. I thank you. You must also know that the Zhang family only has two daughters, and Yufei also I'm young and ignorant. After I leave, the burden will fall on Yutong. I'll tell you the truth, there are a lot of problems in the management of the Zhang family's hotel. In order to keep the family business and for the sake of my two daughters, I This is the only way to do it, I hope you can understand."
"Uncle Zhang, I understand whatever decision you make," Pei Donglai said worriedly.
"Xiao Pei, I know you really love Yutong. I feel relieved to leave this girl to you, but to be honest, you can't do anything about the Zhang family's property, so I hope you can break up with Yutong. , just think of me as begging you for the sake of sisters Yutong and Yufei." Father Zhang looked at Pei Donglai with pitiful eyes.
In an instant, Pei Donglai's heart felt as if he had been cut by a knife. Severe pain came from him, and tears flowed down his cheeks.
"I know I'm sorry for you, and I'm sorry for Yutong. You will understand in the future," Zhang's father said as he took out a bank card and handed it to Pei Donglai.
"This is the one I gave you last time. The amount and password are the same. Although it is tacky, this is the only way I can compensate you."
"Uncle Zhang, I agree to your request, but I can't ask for this card. Thank you." Pei Donglai wiped his tears and walked out of the ward.
"Donglai, what did my dad say?" Zhang Yutong asked anxiously.
"It's okay, Yutong, Uncle Zhang is very strong, he will get better."
A month later, Zhang's father passed away, and Pei Donglai helped Zhang Yutong and the sisters handle the funeral arrangements.
After spending those sad days with Zhang Yutong, Pei Donglai also kept his promise and quietly stayed away from her.
Regarding the relationship between the two of them, Zhang's father was selfish. Before he left, he did not forget to beat the mandarin ducks and force Pei Donglai to let go; but when it came to the family, his considerations were rational. Everyone wanted their children to live well. Although Pei Donglai I don’t know the content of his conversation with Guo Dehao, but the answer is already obvious.
One day, Zhang Yutong asked Pei Dong to pick her up from get off work. After getting in the car, Zhang Yutong began to complain: "What happened to you recently? Do you care less and less about me?"
"Yutong, we haven't had a drink for a long time. Let's have two drinks tonight."
"What do you mean? Why do you look so weird? I'm not going. I have a few meetings tomorrow. I'm very busy. After a while, I'll be less busy and get drunk with you." Zhang Yutong said coquettishly.
Pei Donglai drove Zhang Yutong to the door of his house, "I'm leaving, bye." Zhang Yutong even came over and kissed Pei Donglai on the cheek.
"Yutong, let's break up," Pei Donglai said with courage.
"What did you say? Say it again." Zhang Yutong didn't believe his ears.
"Let's break up," Pei Donglai said loudly, holding back tears.
"You are sick, why?"
"I...I don't want to lie to you, Yingying and I are together," Pei Donglai made it up.
"Pei Donglai, the reason why I forgive you is that I don't believe you will fall in love with a prostitute. Although I saw it, I believe you were just acting. You can't lie to me. Did my father say something to you before he died? "Zhang Yutong had already seen it.
"Believe it or not, I don't want to be with you anyway."
"I was the one who asked for the breakup. You have no right to break up with me," Zhang Yutong shouted loudly, and then ran into the villa crying.
Pei Donglai drove to the small town to reminisce. As soon as he ordered a drink, Zhang Yufei called, "Old Pei, if you dare to hurt my sister, I will kill you. I limit you to apologize to her within tomorrow."
"Yufei, are you free? Come out and have a drink."
Half an hour later, Zhang Yufei appeared in the past in the small town. She saw a sexy girl sitting on Pei Donglai's lap. Zhang Yufei angrily took a beer bottle and smashed it at Pei Donglai's head, hitting two in a row. Blood flowed from Pei Donglai's head. Fall to the ground.
"Stop, Yufei," Li Yunfeng shouted and grabbed Zhang Yufei.
"Damn it, you dare to find a woman behind my sister's back, I'll kill you," Zhang Yufei roared.
Heizi saw Pei Donglai bleeding profusely and hurriedly sent him to the hospital.
Fortunately, it was nothing serious, just a few stitches.
"Dong Lai, why are you so confused? What's so fun about that woman? She's just cheating for money. Are you really emotionally attracted to her? Apologize to Yutong quickly, it's still too late," Heizi said earnestly.
"Heizi, I realize now that I like to be flirty," Pei Donglai laughed.
"Call me right away to apologize, or I'll deal with you too," Heizi shouted seriously.
"Heizi, call Yingying and ask her to come to the hospital to accompany me. I haven't tried it in the hospital yet. It must be exciting."
Seeing how shameless Pei Donglai was, Heizi punched him one after another. Pei Donglai fell heavily on the hospital bed.
"What are you doing? Have you ever treated a patient like this? Get out. If you don't leave, I'll call the police," the nurse yelled.
Heizi left angrily.
"Sir, are you okay? Do you want to call the police?" the nurse asked with concern.
"No... no need, he... is... my friend," Pei Donglai said reluctantly.
After the nurse left, Pei Donglai left some money and quietly left the hospital.
When I got home, it was already midnight, and I felt severe pain in my head and face, but these were far less than the pain in my heart.
Although he used alcohol to drown his sorrows, Pei Donglai couldn't control himself without alcohol as an anesthetic.
He took out all the wine he had bought for Zhang Yutong and opened the bottles. He vowed to drink them all tonight and not leave anything belonging to Zhang Yutong in this house.
what is love? Pei Donglai has thought about this question countless times. Love has different answers at different times. Maybe the topic of love is itself a false proposition.
