Originally, I tried my best to not let Peng Haobai participate in my affairs, but if I only relied on myself, it would be too difficult.
I said I was fine. Let him come back with a dog or a cat or something and just be my partner.
If I hadn't been pregnant, I would have hit him.
"Hmm?" He stole over and kissed the back of my hand.
"I... I have something to ask of you. "
"Alright, I agree."
I touched my forehead, feeling helpless: "At least listen and see what you're agreeing to. You're almost the heir to the perfumery, how can you still be so casual. What if my request is too difficult to fulfill, then what will happen to you?"
"As long as it's your request, no matter how difficult it is, I can fulfill it."
I sighed.
"I have a sister."
I told him.
Obviously, this was something that Peng Haobai did not know about.
"When did this happen?" He frowned, "Where did you come from? Are you serious? Could someone have faked it? You want to share your family property? You better be careful. Although you only have twenty percent of what Mu Huainan has given you, but in the current Lu Group, twenty percent is still quite valuable. "
"Everyone in the industry knows that after Mu Huainan bought the Lu Group that was filled with debts back then, with him, the company's market value increased by who knows how many times."
I hadn't even said a single word when Peng Haobai's incessant crackling interrupted my train of thoughts.
"I think you shouldn't be called Peng Haobai, you should be called Peng Ba Nu."
The more you talk, the more annoying it will be.
Peng Haobai laughed. He laughed as if he was lying.
"Go on."
"I only found out in recent years that I have a sister. She was born with a bad brain, so she was treated like this in the physical therapy department. Dad wanted to protect his good man image, so he didn't announce it."
Peng Haobai nodded, he roughly understood.
"You want me to help you get your sister back, don't you?"
I shook my head.
"She's in a very unstable mood. It's safer to stay in the physical therapy center." I was worried that Mu Huainan would not be able to find my whereabouts and vent her anger on my sister, causing her to be in danger. "
"I see, what's your sister's name? "Which physical therapy center?"
I told Peng Haobai all the news related to Lu Jingyu.
"Okay, don't worry, tomorrow I will send someone to transfer Lu Jingyu to another hospital. I seem to have heard of her disease before.
I shook my head. I had interacted with Lu Jingyu before, so I knew that her illness was a lifelong injury that couldn't be cured.
"She doesn't have any sense of security. I'm afraid that I'll send her to a foreign country. In such a strange environment, I'm afraid that it will worsen her condition."
"What you said makes sense." Peng Haobai nodded his head: "Then I will look for a private clinic in Mu City and similarly, avoid Mu Huainan's eyes and eyes."
"Thank you, Peng Haobai."
I really don't know what to do without him.
"I told you. Your business is my business. "
I know, even if I had to avoid all possibilities of owing Peng Haobai, but inevitably, I still owe him.
Debt was like a snowball, from a little the size of a sugar bean, it gradually evolved into a snowball big enough to crush a person.
I lived in Peng Haobai's house for seven months.
Under his protection, I successfully delivered the baby.
At first, I was worried that if the people from perfumery knew about this, Mu Huainan would know.
But Peng Haobai did his job well, his grandfather never knew that I had lived here for so long.
The child was born a fat boy.
The name became a problem.
"His name is Lu Jiujiu, right?"
I used the word "nine" to give the child a name. Peng Haobai was stunned.
He and I both knew who the word "nine" meant.
Mu Huainan.
Other than being the leader of the financial world, Mu Huainan thought that he had a very good reputation in the underworld. Very few people knew that he actually had another name.
"Ninth Master."
Those who called him by this name were basically all those who had done well in the underworld.
This name has its origins, I have heard Mu Huainan tell me about it before.
Back then, when he was still a small apprentice and had entered the financial industry, he had understood that there were many hidden rules in this world.
This kind of unwritten rule was different from the entertainment circle fighting for the upper hand and selling their bodies. The unwritten rule here was to see who had a closer relationship with the underworld.
In the Mu City, the majority of people in this industry must have some sort of relationship with the underworld, otherwise, it would be very difficult for them to establish a foothold.
When Mu Huainan first came to the Mu City, one of the biggest forces in the underworld was the perfumery and the other was He Fang.
He chose the latter.
There were also eight boys with him. At that time, he was the youngest of the eight, so everyone called him Little Jiu.
In the underworld, if one was not careful, they would be smashed to smithereens.
None of the eight men who were with Mu Huainan and An Fang managed to escape.
As for the remaining Mu Huainan, not only did he stay, he was also very popular with the Old Owner.
In fact, when the Old Owner passed away, he didn't pass He An Fang to his two sons, but to an outsider, Mu Huainan.
Since then, the Ninth Master's name had come, and in the past few years, the power of He Fang had long since overshadowed the perfumery.
Not only was the name of the underworld known to everyone, it was also a name that everyone respected.
I call my child ninety-nine, and it's obvious why.
"An'an …" Peng Haobai sighed.
"After all, he is covered in Mu Huainan's blood." "No," I said.
"It's your decision."
"Also..." Peng Haobai was a little hesitant, and said: "This child, you cannot stay by his side."
My heart sank. "Why?"
What's more, since you have decided to snatch the Lu Group from Mu Huainan's hands, it is inevitable that you will come into contact with him in the future. If he finds out that you have a child, it would be very dangerous for 99% of the time. "" What?
Peng Haobai's words did not make no sense.
I looked at the baby in my arms. It had just been born and was about to separate me from her. How could I bear it?
"An An, in order to protect Jiu Jiu, she can't stay by your side."
My heart was full of grief.
"I know …"
"Let me see him a couple more times."
I didn't even get a chance to hear him call her Mama.
"An An, sorry." Peng Haobai suddenly picked up the infant beside him. As he looked at me, his eyes were filled with guilt and pain, "The longer I make her stay by your side, the more unwilling you will be to part with her. If I carry her away now, you'll still feel better.
As a mother, I couldn't even keep my children company.
My eyes were wet with tears, and my heart felt as if it had been cut.
"Just let me be. Stay with her for a while longer, okay?"
"An'an …" Peng Haobai was a little hesitant, and a little soft-hearted.
"I'm sorry."
But in the end, he turned and walked away.
I haven't had time to say it. It was the plea.
Even an extra minute was a great blessing for me.
I understand his reason, and I understand it as well, but it's only pain, pain so much that I can't breathe.
I lied on the bed, completely powerless, and looked in the direction Peng Haobai left in. It had been a long time since that place was empty, and I missed my heart.
I suddenly thought of Lu Jingyu. It was probably because I snatched away her happiness for all these years and seized all of my parents' love by myself, so I received my retribution now. Family one after another go, the lover also abandoned me, finally hugging the child, also can not be with me.
You think things are so bad that they can't get any worse, but reality is always giving you a resounding slap in the face, telling you that even the worst is not always the best.
I just watched with empty eyes, unable to calm my mind, tears quietly stay, not a word can be said, finally all the strength to cry pass out.
When I woke up again, I was with Peng Haobai, who had a very bad complexion. His dark circles were deep as he fell asleep beside my hand.
He could have never come back, he could have cared about nothing.
But when I needed him the most, he stood up to protect me without any hesitation.
I will repay this debt, but this time, I will not use myself to repay it.
It was a bit passionate. He could only burn her once in his life.
He told me.
"I thought that 99 was registered in the orphanage and …" He looked at me out of the corner of his eye as he spoke, as if he didn't dare say so.
"Go ahead." I think there's nothing I can't accept now.
"Registered as a abandoned baby." After Peng Haobai finished speaking, he immediately added, "However, I am the Principal, who has informed me of this. When she leaves for the orphanage with a full moon, I want her to take good care of this child."
Abandoned baby.
These two words were like two sharp blades stabbing into my heart. Blood flowed like rivers, I cannot pull them out. If I pull them out, I will die.
Peng Haobai sat beside me and leaned over to pick me up.
He didn't say anything, just held me quietly, trying to warm me with his warmth.
However, I can no longer feel any warmth. Here, the pain I have left behind is too great. I can't take it anymore and can't hold on any longer.
"Little White." I called to him.
"Yes, I'm here. I've always been here."
"I want to leave this place, and the Mu City."
This was where all the dark and painful stories of one's life, all those stories of one's impending doom, took place.
I want to get out of here for a while. I want to try to live.
After all, so much remained to be done.
Peng Haobai put his mouth against my forehead and his ice-cold lips moved, rubbing against my forehead until it started to itch.
I heard him say.
"Alright, I'll take you away."
Fortunately, he was still alive.
I closed my eyes, and again those eyes appeared in the darkness, obscure and unreadable. Staring at someone twice, they always made people unconsciously feel humble. Those eyes were like the eyes of a ghost in the night.
This is my nightmare. I know that in the long years to come, I won't be able to escape. I will always dream of this ghost.
Humans … there are too many of them that they can't control themselves.
I can't forget him, and I hate myself.
