There was a slight pause in his voice, and he spoke again.
"During the time he was seriously injured, he lived with me, and my mother took care of him day and night.
And Mr. Pei has no mother, so he feels the warmth that he has never had before, and he becomes very close to our family, just like a family. After that, we became brothers and lived together without asking our surnames.
At that time, my mother was already ill, and all the hospitals could not cure her. Before she died, she gave her most precious jewelry to Mr. Pei and me.
In her heart, she has long regarded me and Mr. Pei together. We are like her two sons. After my mother passed away, Mr. Pei and I were in great pain. There are no relatives to rely on in this world.
Afterwards, old man Pei and I swore a blood oath, and made an alliance with heaven. Since then, my surname has been changed from Su to Pei. Outsiders think that old man Pei and I are true brothers, but it is not.
After all, the Qinglong Gang is always in a dangerous situation and cannot see the light, so I persuaded Mr. Pei to clean up his crimes. He refused at first, but after repeated persuasion by me, he finally agreed, and we entered the stage of starting a business.
He and I spent three years studying company management abroad, and founded the Pei Group after returning to China.
He lives outside, I live inside, and we jointly own the shares of the company..."
The study room was very quiet, only the sound of the breathing of the three of them could be heard faintly, other than Su Zhenyu's slightly heavy voice and snort.
"Everything was peaceful until Lan Ji appeared, and this tranquility was finally broken.
Every week I will set aside one day to go to the orphanage, and I will send some clothes or things or money.
When I got out of the car that day, I saw her fall to the ground and twist her ankle so that she couldn’t stand up at all. I took her to the orphanage and I applied medicine to her ankle. Then I took the children in the orphanage to play games and spent a long time together. Wonderful afternoon.
But I left without asking the other person's name. Sometimes the foresight and fate have already been doomed. Every week since then, I can meet her when I go to the orphanage, no matter in the morning, noon or afternoon.
After that, they became familiar naturally, talked naturally, so familiar, so congenial, as if they had been waiting for each other for hundreds of years.
Just for that one encounter, then we would go outing together, go to the amusement park together, she would always smile happily and brightly, as long as we have each other, we feel like we have the whole world..."
Pei Yihuan's eyes sank slightly, and a dim light flickered, this was something he had never thought of!
"Although we have not confessed our love, the other party's intentions and feelings have already been determined in our hearts.
It's just that for a while later, she seemed to have something on her mind, and her thoughts would always drift away. No matter how I asked, she always smiled and said it was okay, but her smile made me see that it was far-fetched.
She is a very pure and pure woman, and she will not hide her true emotions. I no longer force her, and plan to confess to her on Valentine's Day.
I've never liked flowers, but on Valentine's Day I bought her a thousand blueberry roses.
Since then, I think Valentine's Day is the most beautiful holiday, but in fact it is not beautiful but the beginning of a nightmare.
I did see her on Valentine's Day, she was wearing a plain white and elegant cheongsam.
As pure and beautiful as a lotus flower, the beauty is indescribable..."
Mo Wan didn't speak, but the beautiful picture could vividly emerge in front of his eyes.
Lan Ji's beauty was something she had witnessed with her own eyes.
"However, she was standing next to my eldest brother, and the two held hands. It was the Valentine's Day I dreamed of, but it was also their engagement ceremony.
When I saw that scene with my own eyes, no one could understand the astonishment in my heart.
The boundless pain was unbelievable, how much I wanted to rush up and question her.
But it was my eldest brother's wedding after all, I left the engagement ceremony in a state of embarrassment, I really couldn't see her get engaged to my eldest brother with my own eyes.
Afterwards, she moved into Pei's house, and she and her eldest brother were paired up every day, even for meals.
I suffer from such suffering and pain every day, and the atmosphere is naturally extremely embarrassing.
I ran into her in the back garden one night, and she told me the truth. She did know me first, but her mother’s expensive medical expenses and her younger brother’s tuition fees were all paid by her elder brother, and her elder brother faced her in front of her mother in the hospital. Marriage proposal, she already had it in her heart and I naturally didn't agree.
But her mother is a traditional woman, and even her thoughts are somewhat feudal.
Because the elder brother gave out so much money, all they can repay is to get Lan Ji to agree with her body, otherwise the relationship between mother and daughter will be severed forever. Lan Ji said that her mother has never liked to owe others anything, especially money.
Besides, she also likes Pei Zhenjiang, but Lan Ji still refuses to agree, and tries to persuade her mother through methods.
But to no avail. She had no father since she was a child, and her mother raised her and her younger brother by selling fish.
She had absolutely no way to sever the relationship, so she agreed..."
Finally, Mo Wan couldn't help but asked: "Didn't she borrow it from you?"
"I asked her the same question and she answered me like this.
It is precisely because she likes and loves each other that her self-esteem does not allow her to do those things.
She has always been a strong-willed and stubborn woman, and love in her mind is that two people are equal.
She can borrow from anyone, but she will not borrow from me. The matter has developed to such an irreversible point that she asked me to completely forget her, and then go to find my love.
I ignored it and proposed to her to elope together, but my mother was the stalker in her heart, and it was impossible to do it.
A month later, she married my eldest brother. At that time, my heart was as dead as ashes, as if I had fallen into darkness, and I could no longer see a little light.
Immediately afterwards, my elder brother introduced a woman to me and asked me to get married. If it wasn't her, it didn't matter who I married. We got married within 20 days of knowing Chu Xinying.
The four of them lived together in Pei's house, seeing each other without looking up, the embarrassment couldn't be described in words, not long after she gave birth to a child, which was Yihuan.
I couldn't bear the feeling of going crazy anymore, so I took Chu Xinying out of Pei's house and went to the American branch.
It's been six years since I went there, but the feelings in my heart still haven't disappeared in the slightest. Instead, as time gets deeper and deeper, the precipitation gets deeper and deeper.
Six years later, I brought the pregnant Chu Xinying back to City A. I didn't tell my elder brother the news, and I didn't go back to Pei's house, but lived in a villa.
City A is only that big, and it's only a matter of time before we meet each other. On a Saturday afternoon, Lan Ji and I met on the street, surrounded by people and cars coming and going.
We stood where we were, with our eyes facing each other, and then we went to the former orphanage, the place where we had gone on picnics, and then we went to the hotel to drink red wine.
I'm afraid that even we ourselves don't know how much red wine we drank. There are red wine bottles all over the ground.
The two of them were so drunk that they couldn't even figure out the direction, and went to the hotel in a daze. The night in City A is very blurry, and the lights are full of temptations. In addition, after drinking so much wine, they ended up having sex after drinking..."
Without taking a breath, Su Zhenyu was caught in memories, unable to extricate himself.
"In the early morning of the next day, I felt very sorry for Big Brother, and I didn't have the face to face Lan Ji.
But Lan Ji told me one thing at this time. When I left with Chu Xinying six years ago, her heart ached like a knife, and she had already told her eldest brother her feelings.
The eldest brother was furious, and destroyed all my photos in Pei's house, and did not allow the servants to mention my name in Pei's house.
And I can't stand separation the most, my love is deeper than I imagined, and I can say that I think about her every day, all the time.
Thinking of her bright smile, thinking of the places I have been with her, thinking of her elegant appearance in cheongsam...
For six whole years, I have been thinking about her all the time, and my heart hurts when I think about her.
So I gave her two choices, one is to abandon everything and elope and live together in a place where there is no one, and the other is to pretend that nothing happened and it is still the same as before.
She hugged me with tears in her eyes. Five years ago, she gave up happiness for her mother and younger brother. This time she wanted to hold on to it, so we made a decision. I printed out the divorce agreement and left it to Chu Xinying. And she left it to her elder brother.
We went to the United States together, and saw that Chu Xinying, who couldn't bear the divorce agreement, became pregnant and gave birth to a girl in the hospital.
She called me all day long, from morning to night, and I had already turned off my mobile phone. That night, Chu Xinying committed suicide by jumping off the building.
The actions of Lan Ji and I undoubtedly enraged the elder brother thoroughly, he sent his servants to take the child away and threw him into the countryside.
And to block all the news of having a child, the ultimate goal is to punish me and take revenge on me.
I didn't know about it, and all I knew was that Chu Xinying committed suicide. We ended up staying in the United States for only two months before being arrested by our eldest brother.
His anger at that time was enough to set everything on fire. Lan Ji and I knelt in front of him, hoping that he would let us go, but it was in vain.
His self-esteem and prestige were challenged, and the brotherhood between me and him has since been broken.
He put Lan Ji under house arrest, and I can't get close to him. At the same time, he used his power to make me unable to gain a foothold in City A. I didn't have a place to sleep and I couldn't even eat, so I left City A like that..."
"But everything is not over. My departure at that time was not a compromise, but a preparation for the future.
If I can't even eat three meals a day, how can I take Lan Ji away, and let her live with me in the future?
Because I know that life is not fantasy but reality!
I left City A and went to Qingchuan to start a business. Every month, someone would send letters to Lan Ji secretly, so that she would not be anxious or overthinking. When I have the foundation to fight against Big Brother, I will go City a took her away.
When the company got on track and had funds in hand, it was already fifteen years later. During these fifteen years, I spent every day at work, and whenever I thought of Lan Ji, my whole body was full of energy.
She is the motivation and source of my persistence. After I planned everything secretly, I went to City A secretly. Lan Ji used an excuse to leave Pei's house. She arrived in the valley of Qingchuan...""
