Xia Zhi had already been standing in front of the window for nearly three hours.
It was as if her heart had been ruthlessly pierced by an icicle. Even though it was obviously cold and painful, she could not see the blood flow.
He finally found the person who could make the child happy again.
Xia Zhi used her alcohol to numb herself for an entire day. It was only at dusk that she was woken up by the disturbing phone's ringtone.
She opened her eyes and picked up her phone. It was Ah Zheng.
She pressed the answer button.
The sound startled her.
The sound was so hoarse and dry, like an orange that had been squeezed dry, making people feel boring.
Ah Zheng who was on the other side of the phone was also startled by her voice, and immediately asked nervously: "Where are you? Did something happen? "
Xia Zhi cleared her throat, and then laughed bitterly: "I'm in my own home, how would something happen?"
"Are you drunk?" Ah Zheng asked worriedly, "Something must have happened? "Tell me, Awu and I will definitely help you!"
"I did drink some wine. However, it wasn't because of what had happened, but because he felt a little intoxicated from it. Don't worry about it. Is there something in the company today? " Xia Zhi's eyes were in so much pain that he had to close them to rest.
"Nothing much. However, the annual meeting of the company was going to start tomorrow. We have ordered the Jade Spring Mountain's villa, would you like to attend? "
"Of course!" Xia Zhi immediately straightened her body and opened her eyes.
This was her first annual meeting with the company, so she couldn't not attend.
Moreover, her mind was in a mess right now. If she stayed at home alone, something terrible might happen.
I might as well go and hang out with my colleagues at the company.
Once it was lively, perhaps she could come up with an idea that would let her feel at ease.
However, before she left, she had to go to the Pei household to investigate.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhi wanted to get up from the ground, but she felt that her vision suddenly turned black. It was probably because she had lied on the ground for an entire day, but she had a cold.
She had to eat some medicine immediately!
Resisting the dizziness, she slowly got up, took out her medicine kit, took some cold medicine from it, and went into the bathroom.
After soaking in the bath for half an hour, she felt much better.
After going down to the kitchen, he made himself a simple bowl of noodles with vegetables and beef. When he picked up the vegetables and placed it next to his mouth, his tears flowed uncontrollably.
She had to eat the vegetable and beef noodles he had made for her during that snowy season.
At that time, she was helpless like a fool. He was as handsome and warm as an angel.
He didn't have any illusions, but he had an inexplicable entanglement.
He had originally thought that they were mutual lovers, yet he gave her the coldest, most cruel, most deep strike …
There was no love in her heart now, only hatred.
But even so, when she thought of him when she first met him, she still couldn't help but cry ….
Xia Zhi ate this bowl of noodles for many hours.
They ate from dusk until late at night.
The noodles had long been frozen stiff and the soup was so cold that it seeped into her teeth, but she still touched the black general's noodles in silence and ate it cleanly without leaving a single strand.
After finishing her meal, she did not clean up. Instead, she washed up in the dark and left the room in the dark.
An hour later, she found her way back to Pei Yaochen's bedroom window once again, looking familiar with the place.
He gave it a gentle push, but did not push it away as usual.
With some effort, she finally opened the window.
When the wind blew in, carrying the snow wind with it, causing the curtains to be lifted high and then slammed down, Xia Zhi's heart tightened. She couldn't help but lower her eyes, and actually didn't dare to look inside, much less step foot in as usual.
After hesitating for a long time, he jumped in like a warrior trying to sever his anger. He then turned around and closed the window. Then, he slowly walked towards the bed.
When he saw that the people lying on the bed were still the same size as before, his tensed heart instantly dropped. Only then did he feel his back wet and cold, and his body powerless as if he had just fought with someone.
The girl wasn't in this room.
In the darkness, Xia Zhi's eyes flickered with tears …
For the rest of the day, Xie Ziyi stayed with the child almost all the time. Because of her arrival, the originally quiet and secluded room was filled with the child's happy laughter.
She was a little more relaxed from the very beginning. Other than Pei Yaochen and Old Mistress Pei, she had made a good living with almost everyone else in the house.
After lunch that day, Xie Ziyi coaxed the child to sleep before quietly leaving.
As she closed the door and turned around, she saw Pei Yaochen leaning on the wall silently, staring at her.
His eyes were full of questions and questions that made her uneasy.
Guilty, she did not dare to meet his gaze. Bowing her head in a deep bow, she turned and walked back down the stairs.
However, he still felt the pain in his back even after he walked to the hall. His heart was beating rapidly.
As she was feeling uneasy, Old Mistress Pei, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, waved at her. "Come over here for a while."
"Yes." Xie Ziyi agreed and quickly walked over.
"Sit down!" Old Mistress Pei pointed to the sofa at the side and said, "You've been here for so many days, it's about time for us to have a good chat."
"Yes." Xie Ziyi uneasily pulled her legs together tight, and the hands on her knees intertwined with her ten fingers.
When Madam Pei saw this, she frowned in displeasure. "I'm just having a normal conversation with you. Why are you so nervous? Relax! When you relax, let me know and we'll start talking again. "
"I'm sorry." Xie Ziyi apologized in shame, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, after a long while, he finally opened his eyes and looked at Old Mistress Pei, and said softly, "I can do it now. May I ask what Madam Pei would like to talk about with me? "
"A few simple questions. You have been here for nearly ten days. During these ten days, I did not ask you some things because I knew you were always afraid of my son. But now he had to ask. After all, this is not a small matter. "
"Yes." "Please ask."
"Very good. What's your name, where did you come from, who else is in your family, what school did you graduate from, high school or university, have you ever been in love before? Also, is there any history of familial diseases? " Old Mistress Pei had thrown out all her questions in a simple and crude manner.
Xie Ziyi had been waiting for this day for a long time, so she did not panic. I know there are plenty of rich people who don't like girls like me who don't have any experience, but what do I do? I am such a simple, almost boring person. However, I will try to integrate myself here. Be filial to you and be a good wife and mother. Of course, if, after I try my best and Mr. Pei still doesn't like me, I can leave by myself … "
Old Mistress Pei nodded her head lightly, "Yes." I know. Okay. Let's do it today. "You should go back to your room to rest now that you're tired from taking care of your child."
Xie Ziyi acknowledged, and turned to leave.
Back in her room, she opened the door and leaned out to listen.
Old Mistress Pei asked, "Butler, did you remember what she said just now?"
"Don't worry." It's all written down. "
"Very good. Then send someone to check it out. "
"Is that necessary?"
"Originally, there was indeed no need for that. But for some reason, ever since I saw her, my heart has been in a mess and I haven't been able to sleep well for many days. This feeling was not good. When I had this feeling, it was the moment when Pei Junshan appeared in front of me along with a group of people. That time, I was brought to the United States with Chen, and not long after, I was forced to go to a nursing home. From then on, they could only see the bright sun once a year. And now, this inexplicable sense of danger had appeared again. "If I don't investigate it thoroughly, my heart won't be able to calm down." As she recounted the past, Madam Pei's face was still filled with grief and rage.
The butler hurriedly comforted her: "I know." I'll immediately send someone to investigate. Also, I will have Bi Xi observe her carefully these few days. If anything happens to her, we can just kick her out immediately. It's a good thing that no matter what ghosts she has, and no matter how much she's being loved by the young master right now, it's not too long in the end, so there's still time for her to take control of everything. "
"Yes." "Then go quickly!"
"Alright." Butler quickly turned around and left.
Xie Ziyi lightly closed the door, coldly laughed, and said while gnashing her teeth: "You damned old granny, you are so smart! Then let's see who wins in the end! "
Everything regarding Xie Ziyi soon had a feedback, everything was as real as what she said it was possible to find out.
After looking through the investigation, Madam Pei heaved a sigh of relief and laughed, "Looks like I'm being overly suspicious." A good thing was too complicated to think about. With my pessimistic attitude, I really have to adjust a bit. Otherwise it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to the child. "
The butler laughed: "You don't have to worry too much. You should be careful!" That's good! Now that the matter has been investigated thoroughly, we have nothing to worry about. "
Old Mistress Pei nodded her head, "Yes." Indeed. Now it's time for us to discuss the engagement date with Obsidian. Anyway, this is a big deal. Last time he got engaged, I wasn't there. This time I'm going to take care of it. Youngsters these days really don't pay much attention to such happy days. I heard that last time, Yao Chen's engagement and marriage was very casual, so I wanted to see what the result was. It really hurt the bones of his hand. It hurt others, but it also hurt himself, causing the people beside him to feel heartache. Therefore, he had to accept this lesson this time. He had to choose a lucky day. Butler, hurry up and show me Huang Qunsheng! "
"It's already been prepared." The butler smiled as he placed Huang Li's hands on the table, and then carefully handed her a pair of reading glasses.
Old Mistress Pei gave a comforting smile, "Butler, you are so good. If you weren't by Yao Chen's side to help them all these years, who knows how much suffering he and his child would have to endure! "
