Chapter 210: A Short Essay on Breaking Up
But Pei Yanzhi only waited in the same spot for a while.
Soon, someone came to pick up Pei Yutang.
"Give it to me, Young Master Pei."
Pei Yanzhi nodded and slowly peeled Pei Yutang's hands off his body.
"Brother, where are you taking me? I don't want to go!"
Upon seeing the stranger, Pei Yutang couldn't help but panic and instinctively cried out to Pei Yanzhi for help.
Hearing Pei Yutang call him "good brother" again and again, Pei Yanzhi couldn't help but want to laugh.
These two siblings are really...
He gently comforted her, "It's alright, little sister. I'll take you to find your other brother."
Pei Yutang was taken away only after the last finger was ripped off her body.
Pei Yanzhi looked at Pei Yutang's retreating figure with pity.
"Good luck, my dear sister."
Only after the figure disappeared from sight did Pei Yanzhi return to the banquet hall.
...
The once orderly banquet hall became increasingly chaotic.
The noise was incessant and uncontrollable.
Fang Kerou had already disappeared in the chaos because she was too ashamed to stay any longer.
Xu Yihuan watched her leave with her own eyes.
After seeing Fang Kerou leave, Xu Yihuan inexplicably lost the desire to stay any longer.
I originally came to this banquet because I had promised Tan Zhixu.
Later, it was her mother who said she would bring her along, and she and Tan Zhixu explained things clearly.
But Xu Yihuan felt that it was no longer necessary to explain things clearly.
She still remembers the humiliation and embarrassment she felt when everyone's sympathetic gazes fell upon her.
Xu Yihuan downed the champagne she was holding in one gulp.
Taking advantage of Pei Yi'an's confusion, he resolutely turned and left.
I sent a message to Pei Yi'an.
[Mom, I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything.]
Pei Yi'an probably didn't have time to check her phone, so she didn't reply.
Xu Yihuan then removed Tan Zhixu's phone number from the blacklist and also added him to her WeChat account.
After tilting my head and thinking for a long time, I sat on the ground and wrote him a short essay.
[Dear Tan Zhixu, by the time you read this letter, I will already be...]
Xu Yihuan copied the universal opening line, and then could only scratch her head in frustration.
I have officially broken up with you. Please forgive my abrupt request...
Xu Yihuan was amused by the messy things she had written and laughed out loud.
After checking it once, I pressed the send button.
Before Tan Zhixu could reply, Xu Yihuan put away her phone.
Sitting on the ground outside, the wind blew, making me feel chilly all over.
I tried to stand up by pushing myself up from the floor, but I felt very weak.
Xu Yihuan thought it must be the champagne; she was still too weak to hold her liquor.
I had only taken two steps when my eyes suddenly welled up with tears again.
Xu Yihuan thought it must be because of that gust of wind that she had developed trachoma. She needed to find a chance to go to the hospital to get it checked out.
Xu Yihuan walked for half a day, neither returning to her dormitory nor going home, but instead went to a hotel, booked a room, and stayed for one night.
Inside the banquet hall.
Not long after Xu Yihuan left, Tan Zhixu gracefully walked down from upstairs.
He was wearing a three-piece suit, his hair was styled, he had a bow tie, and you could even smell his cologne if you got close.
She was dressed to the nines.
Seeing his grandson's hopeless state, Grandpa Tan couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly.
But those cloudy eyes always held a smile.
Recently, he has been experiencing chest tightness and pain more frequently, and he has been fainting more often.
He probably doesn't have much time left...
He had to make arrangements for Tan Zhixu in the remaining time.
Grandpa Tan waved to Tan Zhixu.
"Ah Xu, come here."
Tan Zhixu stood beside Old Master Tan.
Grandpa Tan patted Tan Zhixu on the shoulder and introduced him to everyone.
"This is my grandson, Tan Zhixu. I will rely on everyone's continued support in the future."
While we may enjoy the gossip, we should still acknowledge what the old man said.
"Not at all, not at all. Young Master Tan is a very talented young man. In the future, we may be the ones relying on him!"
The old man loved hearing these kinds of things and was amused by them, laughing heartily.
Tan Zhixu looked around but couldn't find Xu Yihuan, and he started to get anxious.
I'm too lazy to engage in drinking and polite conversation with them.
I couldn't resist hiring a servant.
Where is Xu Yihuan?
Tan Zhixu paused, wanting to add some description of his appearance.
He never expected that Xu Yihuan would become an overnight sensation because of him at this banquet.
The maid pointed to the door.
"Miss Xu? She seems to have just gone out."
Tan Zhixu frowned.
She's already here, why doesn't she wait for him to come out before leaving?
Tan Zhixu was a little anxious and turned to run outside.
The next second, he was caught by his own grandfather.
"Where are you going? We haven't even finished getting to know all the uncles and elders here yet..."
Tan Zhixu broke free from his grandfather's restraints and ran outside.
"Grandpa, I'll be back in a bit."
Tan Zhixu's thought was that once he found Xu Yihuan and explained things to her, he would come back.
However, he didn't expect that once he went there, his workplace would start charging him by the day again.
Grandpa Tan watched Tan Zhixu's retreating figure, shaking his head incessantly.
"That brat."
"Hey, they're young people, full of energy, I can understand!" one of the veteran cadres said with a smile.
Grandpa Tan could only manage a forced smile: "Yes, there's a project in the new district that I'm planning to have Ah Xu handle. I hope everyone will give him a helping hand then."
As soon as the project was mentioned, everyone immediately gathered around.
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and immediately smiled knowingly.
"No problem, no problem..."
Tan Zhixu ran out the door, but Xu Yihuan was nowhere to be seen.
Tan Zhixu hurriedly took out his phone, wanting to call Xu Yihuan.
But unexpectedly, he saw the message she had sent him.
Tan Zhixu had a smile on his face when he first saw the message from the contact.
The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.
By the very end, his face had turned completely gloomy.
I manually deleted the message and pretended I didn't see it.
Tan Zhixu felt his pocket and breathed a sigh of relief when he touched the hard object.
I hailed a taxi and headed towards the city center.
Xu Yihuan stayed at the hotel for one day.
At this point, there was only one day left before the exchange program in Malaysia.
She didn't go back to the dormitory the next day, but went home to pack her things.
It was dark, but inside the residential area, it wasn't particularly frightening.
Xu Yihuan took the key to open the door, and as the lock turned, she sensed something was wrong.
The lock on this door appears to have been opened.
Because she remembered that there was a small doll stuck on the doorknob, and her father would always carefully avoid that spot when opening the door, never messing it up.
But looking at it now, the doll's position seems a bit wrong.
Countless murder cases flashed through Xu Yihuan's mind in an instant.
I leaned against the door frame and thought for a moment.
Xu Yihuan took a deep breath and still turned the lock.
The next second, I was pulled into a warm and familiar embrace.
