"I heard that she went to Shenzhen," Li Yunfeng said.
"Did you go with Cao Geqing?"
"I'm not sure. She didn't say anything. I hope she marries an honest man," Li Yunfeng sighed.
"Let an honest person take the blame again."
Tonight, Chen Yuan had a great time, singing and dancing, and his suppressed emotions suddenly burst out.
After a while, Pei Donglai's phone rang. It was Lin Xiaojie, "Donglai, long time no see. Would you like some supper?"
Although they are back, the two have only met once before and have not had dinner together yet.
"I'm in the small town, please come here."
After more than 20 minutes, Lin Xiaojie arrived. Pei Donglai walked out of the box and sat with Lin Xiaojie in the booth outside to drink.
Three years have passed, and Lin Xiaojie is still well-maintained, leaving no trace of time. Ever since Pei Donglai was arrested in Lijiang, Lin Xiaojie has been running for his cause. If Lin Xiaojie hadn't used Jiang Xue as a bait, the trick Guo Defu would have done. , I’m afraid Pei Donglai will not only serve half a year in prison.
Later, after Pei Donglai was released from prison and left quietly, Lin Xiaojie also looked for him everywhere. When she learned that he had gone to Xingyue, Lin Xiaojie recommended Pei Donglai to Teacher Liu. Now, Pei Donglai started a business, and Lin Xiaojie also gave him the first pot of gold.
Although these processes are inseparable from Pei Donglai's own efforts, sometimes no matter how hard he works, they are not as important as the words of the key person. Pei Donglai naturally keeps these feelings in his heart.
"How's it going? Donglai, is your career going well?" Lin Xiaojie asked with a smile.
"Thank you, Xiaojie." Pei Donglai picked up the wine glass to greet Lin Xiaojie and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's me who thanks you. Donglai, you helped us collect so many bad loans. I can't thank you enough," Lin Xiaojie said politely.
Pei Donglai just smiled and said nothing.
"Dong Lai, your house has been renovated, why haven't you come back to live in it?"
During the time Pei Donglai came to Jiangcheng, Yiyi stayed in a hotel in the villa. Due to his busy work, he did not take care of his house and did not have time to bother with the decoration.
"I'm sorry to trouble you about the house decoration, Xiaojie. Do you have enough money? If not, I will replenish it for you." It was just a preliminary budget without detailed calculation, so Pei Donglai didn't know whether the money given at the beginning was enough.
"I was about to tell you about this. When you gave Wu Jing 400,000 yuan, she transferred it to me. Only 300,000 yuan was used, and there is still 100,000 yuan left. I will refund it to you." Later, Lin Xiaojie passed Online banking transferred 100,000 yuan to Pei Donglai.
While the two were chatting, Xiao Ru came, "Brother Pei, isn't Chen Yuan with you?" Xiao Ru was a little nervous after not seeing Chen Yuan.
At the work, Pei Dong could tell that Xiao Ru liked Chen Yuan a little bit. She wouldn't have come here to find Chen Yuan unless it was late at night, but he didn't know why the two were not together.
"Yes, you sit here and wait a moment. I'll call him out." Pei Donglai stood up in a hurry, remembering that there was a girl drinking with Chen Yuan in the box. If Xiao Ru caught him, it would be over.
Pei Donglai hurried to the box and only saw Chen Yuan singing there alone. Pei Donglai pressed pause and asked, "Where was that girl just now?"
"Lao Pei, I'm a lawyer, don't try to frame me, I told her to leave," Chen Yuan said with a smile.
"Just in time, Xiaoru is here, let's go." Pei Donglai pulled Chen Yuan out.
"I asked her to come. If you ask her to come in, I don't want to leave yet." Chen Yuan continued singing.
Pei Donglai didn't expect that Chen Yuan was such an honest man and asked Xiao Tula to accompany him instead of a bar lady.
After Xiaoru entered, Lin Xiaojie said: "Donglai, I will take you to see your new home."
The two came to Jinxiu Community. After entering, Pei Donglai was surprised. The house was not only decorated, but also the home appliances and furniture were sold. It was ready for move-in.
The decoration style is the European style that Pei Donglai likes. Lin Xiaojie really paid attention to it. With her understanding of Pei Donglai, she handled every detail very well.
Since the divorce, Pei Donglai has been like a guerrilla, either living in hotels or renting houses, without a home.
Tonight, after seeing everything Lin Xiaojie had done for him, Pei Donglai was not only grateful, but also moved.
"Xiaojie, how much did these cost?"
"Didn't I tell you just now? 300,000 yuan."
Originally, Pei Donglai thought it was just a simple decoration. When he came here and took a look, it was obvious that 300,000 yuan could not achieve this kind of effect. There were also appliances, furniture, etc., not just that.
"Xiaojie, don't lie to me. Although I don't know how to decorate, I can see that these are not only 300,000 yuan, but I will replenish it for you if there is any difference."
Lin Xiaojie was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Dong Lai, is it necessary to distinguish so clearly? Even if we are no longer husband and wife, we are still friends. You helped me so much before, and I didn't even thank you. Don't talk about money. Okay?"
Pei Donglai saw Lin Xiaojie's expression was a little sad, so he didn't ask any more questions.
With Lin Xiaojie's current status, does she still care about those hundreds of thousands of yuan? What she cares about is Pei Donglai's feelings for her.
"No matter what, I sincerely thank you, Xiaojie," Pei Donglai said gratefully.
"Let's sleep here tonight. It has been dry for a long time and has no smell anymore. It can be lived in," Lin Xiaojie said.
"Well, I'll stay here tonight. I'll move my things here tomorrow so I can have a home."
Lin Xiaojie was very happy when she heard that Pei Donglai was moving here. "When will you move tomorrow? I'll help you."
"After get off work, I don't have much, just a car. If you want to help, buy some groceries for me. I'll ask Heizi and Li Yunfeng to come for dinner tomorrow. You can also invite Julie."
"Well, okay, it's a deal. I'll get off work early tomorrow and go shopping and cooking with Julie. Good night!" Lin Xiaojie left happily.
In the afternoon of the next day, Pei Donglai left the law firm early and came to the villa to move.
After returning to Jinxiu Community, Lin Xiaojie was already cooking. Before the two divorced, Lin Xiaojie could not cook. Unexpectedly, after the divorce, Lin Xiaojie learned to cook.
After everyone arrived, the dishes were ready. Lin Xiaojie and Julie cooked a lot of dishes, just like preparing a New Year's Eve dinner.
Pei Donglai raised his glass and said, "Come, celebrate the housewarming, cheers."
"Come east, I won't come back until you get drunk tonight," Li Yunfeng said.
"Okay, you can sleep here when you are drunk. From now on, this will be a gathering place for everyone. We must gather more often." Pei Donglai smiled from ear to ear.
In imagination, Pei Donglai didn't have such a strong feeling about home, but when he really did, it really felt different.
Everyone is happy tonight.
At this time, Li Yunfeng came to Pei Donglai with a little boy in his arms and said, "Call uncle, baby."
"Is your child so old, Yunfeng?" Pei Donglai was very excited when he saw the child, and immediately gave him a big red envelope.
"Brother, hurry up. Sister Xiaoyu is also pregnant, so it's up to you." Bai Xiaoran looked at Lin Xiaojie after watching Pei Donglai.
When it came to children, Pei Donglai thought that Lin Xiaojie would not have children, otherwise, they would have had children long ago, and they would not have divorced so impulsively.
