He did not want them to come into contact with such a terrifying reality at such a young age, but even if he had already ordered for the news to be sealed, the news had still been leaked by the media, who knew where.
In that moment, the Li City was abuzz by the news, and everyone could not help but sigh.
The entire process was filmed, although Guan Youyou and the children were blocked by Pei Ming and could not see it. After that, it was all on TV.
At the sight of this, a slightly older child suddenly began to cry, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If only I hadn't read that letter to him the morning before yesterday, it would have been my fault."
After Guan Youyou heard this, she finally understood the true reason why Ah Bing committed suicide.
She blamed herself for not actually falsifying a letter to replace the original one. The strong sense of self-blame forced her to escape from there, the place full of her and Xiaoyu's memories, the place once full of children's laughter and laughter, now filled with weeping.
As Guan Youyou ran, Pei Zi Ming followed behind her with big steps.
He knew that she didn't want to be disturbed now, so he followed her in this manner, neither fast nor slow, maintaining a distance from her at all times.
When Guan Youyou turned back to look, Pei Zi Ming immediately stepped forward and embraced her in her arms.
He didn't know how to comfort her, nor did he know what to say. He could only slowly stroke her head and repeat, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's okay now …"
Guan Youyou cried for an unknown period of time, but eventually she fell asleep in Pei Ming's arms.
He picked her up and carried her home.
The next day.
When Guan Youyou woke up, she felt that her head was heavy, her entire body was burning, as if she had a cold. Her body was weak to begin with. Coupled with the fact that the injuries from falling down the stairs had yet to completely heal, the past few days of sleepless nights and unstoppable grief had caused her to completely collapse.
She wanted to go back to sleep, but as soon as she closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep, her stomach began to rumble.
She had to get out of bed to look for food.
Pulling open the curtains, she couldn't open her eyes in the blinding sunlight. Judging by the position of the sun, it was probably already noon.
Guan Youyou rubbed her stomach, then the corners of her eyes. Her eyes were filled with sticky droppings, and she seemed to have cried too much last night. She turned her head and looked around. The room looked familiar to her, but it was not the hotel where she'd stayed that night when she'd had an affair with her. The room's layout was even more simple and elegant. It was simple, black and white, with a bit of gold on it. It was simple, but also had a sense of elegance.
She, Guan Youyou, could only think of one person who could live in this kind of room with such a cold personality.
That was Pei Ming.
Is this a room in the house of Pei Min? She slept in his bed last night?
Just as Guan Youyou was deep in her thoughts, a low barking came from the door.
She seemed to have heard this dog bark somewhere before, but where?
That's right! It was the sound of a tiny nine!
Guan Youyou casually picked up a jacket left on the sofa by Pei Zi Yun and draped it over her shoulders. She then immediately opened the door and went to welcome them.
Old Master Lu was carrying a small number nine, smiling at her from her wheelchair, and beside her stood a middle-aged woman who was accompanied by servants. In her hand was a small car, obviously it was a meal, she was just standing there respectfully, not looking sideways.
"Yo, you finally woke up. Just now, Jiu Jiu and I was in the garden bathing in the sun and saw you open the curtain, so we came up to bring you something to eat. This is grandpa's exclusive secret recipe, I don't give it to normal people." Old Master Lu said mischievously, like a naughty child.
Little Jiu also gave two "woof woof" to express his agreement.
Old Master Lu patted its head with a benevolent look on his face.
Guan Youyou looked at the dishes at the side, and then touched her stomach. She secretly licked her lips, and her face blushed a little: "Thank you Grandpa Lu."
Receiving the cup of water from the servant, Guan Youyou lightly rinsed her mouth and spat the water in her mouth into a bowl.
The waiter opened the lid that had been fastened to the table, and hot steam rose from the floor.
Guan Youyou blinked her large, spirited eyes, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a face full of anticipation.
… ….
A few cute animal-shaped glutinous rice cakes sat obediently on the plates.
Guan Youyou was startled, she had seen this food before, but where? For a moment she couldn't remember.
Forget it, let's eat first! Guan Youyou picked up a small hedgehog and brought it to her mouth. She took a bite of it, and the soft taste, along with the sweet jam, made her want to dance on the tip of her tongue. Her mouth wrapped in cake ball suddenly grew big, this is the day that Lu Yiming gave her to eat!
So that was the specialty of the Lu family, ah. No wonder it was so delicious.
Guan Youyou recalled that on that day, Lu Yiming had said that as long as she accompanied her to a feast, he would bring her to the chef. But after so many things had happened, she had actually forgotten about it. Since she was at the Lu family's residence, she had to quickly ask him for advice so that she could cook for the children in the future.
"Grandpa, can I see this chef?" Guan Youyou blinked her eyes and asked.
"Oh? But you've already seen it. "
"You've seen it?" Guan Youyou was a little confused.
"Yeah, you're still wearing his clothes."
Guan Youyou tilted her head and glanced at the jacket that she was wearing.
What! This delicious and cute pastry was actually from that cold and changeable Lu Family's Young Master!
Guan Youyou really couldn't associate this delicacy with Pei Zi Ming.
"Grandpa Lu, don't joke around, why would Young Master Lu make such a thing?"
"Why not? This is a special technique that his grandmother taught him!" When he talked about Madam Lu, Guan Youyou clearly felt that his expression did not last for a few seconds, and then he became spirited again: "I'll tell you in secret, he doesn't only know how to make this, he also knows how to make a lot of pastries, it's not much worse than this Lu Family's Western Cuisine Chef."
Guan Youyou just realized that the Old Master Lu was not joking, she never thought that there was such an unknown side to Lu Peiming. Although she was surprised, but when she thought about how she had hidden away and hidden away that day that she was still a chef, Guan Youyou felt that she was a little cute.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face that she hadn't seen in a long time.
"Alright, little brat, eat a few mouthfuls and then change your clothes in preparation. Zhenhua wants to see you."
"Master Lu wants to see me?"
Guan Youyou recalled the scene where she saw Lu Zhenhua for the first time in the basement of the Lu family mansion, and goosebumps arose all over his body. As expected of his father, Pei Zi Yun felt a chill run down his spine. Compared to Pei Zi Yun, he was even more powerful.
Why would he want to see me?
… ….
Guan Youyou received the clothes sent over by the servant and dressed up well. Facing the mirror, she used the thick foundation powder to cover her dark circles and the tears at the corners of her eyes. She added a bit of foundation powder to her cheeks, making her complexion look much better.
She nervously sat in front of Lu Zhenhua with her hands on her knees, feeling that her lips were dry, not knowing what to say.
"Uncle Lu..."
Lu Zhenhua glanced at her, seemingly shocked by Guan Youyou's brows. He muttered softly: "No wonder." Then he sat up straight.
"Miss Guan, our last meeting wasn't too happy. Today, let's get to know each other again."
Guan Youyou was so stunned that she forgot to reply. She just stared at him blankly, still unable to comprehend his intentions.
"In order to marry you to the Lu family, your father had already transferred over half of the Lu family's shares to the Lu family."
Wasn't the shares in her mother's possession? Why was he transferred to the Lu family by his father? What happened? Also, what do you mean to marry her to the Lu family? You make it sound like she wanted to marry me. She wasn't an older sister. She was so infatuated with him back then.
"Since our Lu Family has taken your Guan Family's shares, we will not treat you unfairly."
Hearing Lu Zhenhua's affirmation, although Guan Youyou did not know what happened, she was certain that the shares had been transferred to the Lu family.
"But considering your age, we think we should wait until you're an adult to get engaged and then get married and have kids in two years."
Guan Youyou's face was full of rejection, she was extremely disgusted with Lu Zhenhua for arranging for others to live but not give them the chance to reject him.
"Since it's someone from the Lu family sooner or later, I hope that you can go home and pack up as soon as possible and move in. "After all, your Guan Family has not been peaceful lately." There were some hidden meanings in Lu Zhenhua's words, but Guan Youyou felt awkward hearing it.
She got excited and stood up abruptly, "I'm not marrying!"
Lu Zhenhua was very shocked. He did not expect that the little girl in front of him would actually reject his request.
He did not speak, but only looked towards the door.
Pei Ming did not know when he was standing there.
Guan Youyou turned her body and looked at Lu Yiming's furious eyes.
"I... "I …" Guan Youyou stuttered.
"Father, can you let me say a few words in private?" Pei Ming asked Lu Zhenhua.
"Take care of your business." With that, Lu Zhenhua left without even giving Guan Youyou a glance.
Pei Ming closed the door and pressed closer towards Guan Youyou.
Panting, she backed away again and again.
Suddenly, her legs seemed to have hit something soft, Guan Youyou turned to look, it was a sofa, she had nowhere to run. Before she could react, she was still on top of her.
Guan Youyou's whole body fell onto the sofa. Pei Ming supported himself with his hands by her ears and one of his legs kneeled on the sofa. It was the piece of cloth between her legs.
Such an ambiguous position caused Guan Youyou to panic, and her small face flushed red. For a moment, the room was filled with the scent of hormones.
"What did you just say?" Pei Ming moved closer to Guan Youyou's face with a misty look.
"No …." No …. I didn't say anything. " Guan Youyou felt that she would never be able to escape his grasp, hence she stammered nervously.
He put his other knee on the sofa.
"Ah!" Guan Youyou called out, and when Pei Zi Ming lowered his head, he realized that he was pressing down on her skirt.
This dress is so troublesome.
Pei Ming stood up straight and squatted down again. He picked up the skirt with both hands and tugged on it.
With a ripping sound... With a "peng" sound, a large part of the cloth on her dress was torn apart.
Guan Youyou only felt a burst of coolness from the skin on her thigh that was boiling hot, and immediately covered her private parts with her hands.
He tore off her entire skirt!
