Chapter 47

Tang Yu’s Dilemma (2)

Tang Yu got out of the car. Under the rising Sun, he saw that his mother wore all white. Though she was now almost 50, her beauty remained graceful, completely different from Zhao Ke’s flaunting beauty.

“I came in the middle of the night. I didn’t want to wake you!” He walked up to her and hugged her by the shoulders. They walked into the living room together.

Lin Yun glared at him, “Still, you shouldn’t have just stay inside the car!”

She had heard that Tang Yu went to Yanhui yesterday. He probably couldn’t take it there so he came here today.

She sighed deeply. Though she had turned to Buddhism, there were still things that were hard to let go of. If she had truly let go of them all, she wouldn’t have let Tang Yu take over Sheng Yuan…

Tang Yu smiled, “I want to spend time with you today.”

Lin Yun turned her head, “What do you want to eat?”

“Chicken noodle!” Tang Yu answered without thinking.

Lin Yun slapped him, “You never get tired of that dish no matter how old you get. Go wash up. The food will be ready in a bit!”

Lin Yun watched as he headed upstairs. Silently, she thought about how Tang Yu was more similar to her – sentimental. He stayed in love with one dish for decades, not like Tang Zhiyuan…

On the other side, Pei Qiqi was called out by Chen Xinjie Saturday morning. On the side of people’s square, the two girls wore knee length skirts and were drinking milk tea and watching people feed pigeons.

Chen Xinjie was truly worried for her, “Lin Jinrong and Pei Huan are getting engaged, and you aren’t at all troubled.”

Pei Huan didn’t invite anyone but Chen Xinjie and Pei Qiqi. Her intention was very clear – she wanted to humiliate Pei Qiqi.

Pei Qiqi swung her legs back and force as she stared at the milk tea. Then, she smiled, “Why would I be troubled? They are the ones who want to get engaged.”

Chen Xinjie gawked at Pei Qiqi. After a long time, she finally asked, “You… don’t like Lin Jinrong anymore?”

Pei Qiqi smiled, one that was a little pale, “Xinjie, do you believe in fate?”

Perhaps she one day naively believed that she would one day escape everything. But like Zhou Meilin had always claimed, “Pei Qiqi, you are no different than your mom.”

Pei Qiqi didn’t know what her mom was like. But thinking about it now, she realized that her mother was definitely a beautiful girl with an unfortunate life.

Her voice lowered, “Xinjie, I don’t dare to think about these kinds of things.”

Chen Xinjie was a little startled, “Qiqi, did… did something happen?”

Pei Qiqi pushed the milk tea away, “Nothing.”

Chen Xinjie didn’t give up, “I wonder what method Pei Huan used to… to sleep with Jinrong…”

Her voice was barely a whisper on the last words she spoke. She carefully looked at Pei Qiqi but Pei Qiqi didn’t display much emotions…

Sleep with?

She slept with Tang Yu, didn’t she?

“Qiqi, you have to beat her with your beauty at Pei Huan’s wedding. You can’t have her act too happily,” Chen Xinjie said furiously.

Pei Qiqi hopped off the ledge she was sitting on, “it’s okay. I’ll just go looking as I normally do.”

Pei Huan truly liked Lin Jinrong. Was there a point to fight against her like that?

Chen Xinjie looked at her and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Qiqi, you are really…”

Pei Qiqi patted her back.

After she hung out with Chen Xinjie for most of the day, she went to visit Pei Minghe in the afternoon when Pei Huan and Zhou Meilin were out. Pei Minghe’s health was basically back to normal, but when he saw Pei Qiqi, he was a little sad.

Pei Qiqi chatted with him for a while before returning to Summer City. It was already 6:00 pm by then. The room was quiet. She didn’t think Tang Yu would be there. But he was. He was lying on the couch with his eyes closed. Beside him was a small suitcase.
