Not long after Luo Daoqiang surrendered, Cheng Dahui was also arrested. After learning the news, everyone was happy and the plot finally reversed.
Li Yunfeng and Heizi also continued to carry out various marketing activities to restore the bar's business. After a while, the small town gradually returned to its former prosperity.
One day, Julie asked Pei Donglai to have dinner together. After experiencing these things, Julie and Pei Donglai had more contact.
After arriving at the restaurant, Pei Donglai was surprised that Lin Xiaojie was not here tonight.
Julie entertained Pei Donglai politely. After drinking a few drinks, Julie said, "Donglai, there are several good apartments here in Jinxiu Garden. Come and take a look when you have time."
"Didn't I hear that they are all sold out? Why are there still more? My colleagues in our unit just need it."
"Okay, I'll keep it for him, don't you need it?" Julie asked.
"As for me, I'm single and I just need a nest."
Julie's expression changed slightly and she muttered silently: "Xiaojie is also single."
Pei Donglai knew early on that Julie was looking for him, probably because of Lin Xiaojie's affairs. Pei Donglai said nothing and drank silently.
Indeed, the relationship between the two has eased a lot during this period. As soon as something happened to Li Yunfeng, Lin Xiaojie was busy. After Luo Daoqiang came in this time, it was Lin Xiaojie who also found a lawyer. Although these were not Pei Donglai's fault, they were also Indirectly helped Pei Donglai.
After breaking off contact with Zhang Yutong, Pei Donglai was in a vacant period emotionally. Although he also had contact with Ye Xiaolan, from Pei Dong's point of view, it was not love. At least, he did not have that strong feeling for Ye Xiaolan.
Regarding Lin Xiaojie, Pei Donglai felt that she was very good to him, but after all she had gone through, not everyone could let go. Pei Donglai still believed that Lin Xiaojie had betrayed her marriage and herself.
Although there is no evidence, there are some things that cannot be explained clearly, and that is the relationship between Lin Xiaojie and Cao Geqing. Cao Geqing is a famous beauty hunter. The two have been together in Shenzhen for so long. Pei Donglai does not believe that Cao Geqing will not look down on him. Lin Xiaojie, Lin Xiaojie always kept silent about her relationship with Cao Geqing.
According to Gardenia, Cao Geqing has come out, contacted her some time ago, and asked her to go to Shenzhen.
Although Cao Geqing did not tell Gardenia about the case, since he came out, it must have little to do with Yingying's case, or he would be released because the police could not find sufficient evidence.
After seeing that Pei Donglai didn't speak, Julie smiled and said, "I also invited Xiaojie to have dinner with me tonight, but she was busy discussing Luo Daoqiang's matter with the lawyer, so she didn't come. Although Zhang Dahui and I are not good friends. Friend, but Luo Daoqiang got Cheng Dahui in after all, we can't be ungrateful."
Pei Donglai knew there was something in Julie's words.
"Mr. Zhu, you are so kind to Xiaojie."
Julie smiled and said, "Although I am Xiaojie's stepmother, I don't have this feeling. We are not much different in age and we are more like friends. I should be nice to her, and I am willing to be nice to her. Xiaojie is A good girl, but her life is bad.”
In Julie's eyes, Lin Xiaojie is naturally a good girl. After all, Chen Jian has given her so much, and it is impossible for her to speak ill of his daughter.
But Pei Donglai felt that what Julie said was not a big boast. Julie was a mature woman, not only in appearance but also in psychology. She generally would not praise someone indiscriminately, but she was full of praise for Lin Xiaojie.
"Are you familiar with Mr. Cao?" Pei Donglai suddenly asked.
Julie pursed her lips, was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Donglai, Mr. Cao and I are not familiar, but I think Mr. Cao and Xiaojie have no special relationship."
Julie saw through Pei Donglai's mind. She knew what Pei Donglai wanted to know. Her answer did not reveal the secret, but also gave Pei Donglai a positive answer.
Julie's phone rang, "Xiaojie, are you done? You haven't eaten yet. Dong Lai and I are at Ding Shang Restaurant. Come over."
20 minutes later, Lin Xiaojie arrived. "Are you drunk? Your face is so red," Lin Xiaojie said.
"No, I only drank two bottles. I'm waiting for you," Julie said.
Later, Julie poured red wine for Lin Xiaojie. Lin Xiaojie said while eating, "We have negotiated with the lawyer. They are all people from the previous circle, and the fee has been greatly discounted. Luo Daoqiang mainly accepted bribes and abused his power. In view of his initiative to confess , and also reported many people, so we should be able to seek leniency."
"Xiaojie, he may know about your car accident. I tested him before, but he didn't tell me. I feel that he knows the truth," Pei Donglai said.
Lin Xiaojie nodded, not surprised. It seemed that she knew.
"Zhang Dahui is so naive. He still wanted to take money from Luo Daoqiang. It's good that he didn't get spit out," Julie said slowly.
"Yes, that Zhang Dahui is not a good person. He goes looking for ducks whenever he has time. He does not deserve sympathy. The only person who is pitiful is his 8-year-old daughter," Lin Xiaojie said.
Pei Donglai felt that Lin Xiaojie hated the idea of women looking for sex, and it didn't seem like she was pretending.
"Is there any news from Zhou Defei?" Pei Donglai asked.
"I haven't seen him for a long time. Didn't he come to the work to ask about the loan?" Lin Xiaojie turned to look at Pei Donglai.
"He definitely doesn't dare to come, and he won't come either. Cheng Dahui has already gone in. I guess he has run away now."
Although Cheng Dahui went in, he was just the executor and the scapegoat. The real instigators behind the scenes were the Zhou family. Mr. Zhou had left long ago. Originally, Zhou Defei still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but then With Cheng Dahui's arrest, Zhou Defei has lost the last straw and cannot save himself.
"Xiaojie, your old house has been there for many years. Don't live there. There are some good apartments in Jinxiu. I stayed there at the beginning. You and Dong Lai can go and have a look when you have time." Julie mentioned the house again.
Lin Xiaojie moved her lips, showing an expression of joy, and looked at Pei Donglai from time to time. Although Julie was asking her, she was not the one who answered. She was waiting for Pei Donglai's answer.
After seeing that Lin Xiaojie didn't speak, Julie looked at Pei Donglai. Pei Donglai avoided Julie's eyes and pretended not to know what the other party meant.
When neither of them answered, Julie asked again: "Donglai, just now you said that your colleague wanted to buy it, when will he come to see it? I will take him to see it then."
"Our colleague wants to buy it, who is it?" Lin Xiaojie asked.
"Wu Jing and the others".
"Oh, she and Xiaobao will get married soon, Mr. Zhu, Wu Jing is the vice president of our Jiangdong Bank and a good friend. When the time comes, we will give her a bigger discount," Lin Xiaojie explained.
"Since we are good friends, you two will set the price, just give us your idea. That project will make money first, so it won't be short of those sets." Julie was very smart and asked Pei Donglai and Lin Xiaojie to set the price first.
Lin Xiaojie was smarter. She knew that Wu Jing and Bao Desheng were one of Pei Donglai's best friends, so she deliberately told Julie this way, and the two sang the double act in perfect harmony.
