Pei Wangnian was standing right beside him, watching Xie Cun flatter him. After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the smiling Jiang He.
The man coughed lightly and spoke slowly: "Boss Jiang, I have something here and I need your help."
As soon as these words fell, Xie Cun opened his mouth in shock, his face full of disbelief.
Were the four words "Please help me" spoken by the base commander?
Did he hear it right?
Jiang He raised his eyebrows, and had an inexplicable premonition in his heart that what Pei Wangnian said must be related to Zhou Tangyao.
She is at the forefront of eating melons again!
"Pei... Base Commander, I'm just a small supermarket owner. What could be so incompetent of you that you want me to do it for you?"
Pei Wangnian had a calm expression, as if he knew everything.
"I know everything. It was you who saved Yaoyao. She chose to stay in the Nanyang base because of you."
This sounds too sour.
Jiang He laughed without any scruples, causing Pei Wangnian to frown. He didn't understand what was good about this.
"Yaoyao listens to you. As long as you speak, she will come back to me."
Jiang He's eyes twitched twice, "Huh? You want me to mediate?"
Seeing Pei Wangnian nod, she leaned back with a look of disgust.
"I won't do anything bad that would harm others."
Hearing this, Pei Wangnian's expression instantly turned ugly, "How can letting her come back be considered harming others?
It's so dangerous out there, and no one except me would risk their life to protect her."
Jiang He said with a blank expression, "But she's still living well without you."
After Zhou Tangyao got off the rooftop, she started a new life in the Nanyang base. She finally got rid of the shadow of the past. Unless she was mentally ill, she would not agree to go back to a mad dog.
Pei Wangnian's expression was grim, and a strong smell of blood surged from his throat. His heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife, and the pain was unbearable.
Xie Cun was worried that something might happen if they continued talking, so he quickly pulled Pei Wangnian upstairs.
"Brother Wang, I saw a sign saying there's a hot pot restaurant on the second floor. Let's have hot pot for lunch!"
There were seven or eight people sitting in the dining area on the second floor. When they saw Pei Wangnian appear, they instantly became as quiet as a chicken.
Xie Cun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took great pains to drag the man into the hot pot restaurant.
"Brother Wang, you can't rush into chasing your wife. You have to take your time."
Pei Wangnian looked at him coldly, "You don't have a wife, so of course you're not in a hurry."
Xie Cun's facial muscles twitched slightly. He just wanted to give some advice. If no one appreciated it, it would be fine. But why did he have to make personal attacks?
Since I can't persuade him, I'll change the subject. Xie Cun glanced at the menu and said casually:
"Brother Wang, let's order a set meal for two."
Pei Wangnian raised his eyelids and started to challenge him, "Who wants to be with you? I only want to be with my wife."
Xie Cun was completely silent: ...
Okay, okay, you’re great that you have a wife.
Finally, the two men each ordered a single set meal.
The little robot came to deliver food. Xie Cun was very interested in this little guy. He chatted with it for a few words and was amused by it.
Pei Wangnian on the opposite side always kept a cold face, as if everyone owed him money.
Xie Cunxin spoke frankly: "Brother Wang, I'm not saying that my sister-in-law doesn't want to come back, but actually... it's quite reasonable."
Hearing this, Pei Wangnian almost overturned the table. Xie Cun quickly pressed down on the table and spoke rapidly.
"Brother, listen to me first!"
Pei Wangnian crossed his arms over his chest and glanced at him indifferently: "Okay, I'll give you one chance."
Xie Cunhou swallowed his saliva fearfully, "Girls like gentle, considerate, humorous men who understand them.
"Brother Wang, ask yourself, what part of what I said do you have anything to do with?"
Pei Wangnian's eyes moved slightly, as if he had heard these words. The next second, his expression became frighteningly gloomy.
"Xie Cun, if you want to die, just say so."
The hotpot restaurant served all the remaining dishes and noticed something was wrong with the two guests. It immediately turned on the red light to warn them:
"Little brother, quarreling is not allowed here~"
Pei Wangnian turned his head away and said coldly, "We're not arguing. Go and do your thing."
Xie Cun frowned slightly, as if he had caught him in the act, "Look, Brother Wang, this is why my sister-in-law doesn't want to be with you anymore!"
Pei Wangnian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was wrong with what he had just said.
Xie Cun said confidently: "Little Hotpot has such a good personality. It just gave a kind reminder. Not only did you ignore it, but your attitude was also so bad."
Pei Wangnian did not admit that there was anything wrong with his attitude. This has always been his style.
"What does this have to do with my wife?"
"It's a big deal. Judging from your behavior just now, any girl would be scared away if she saw you."
Pei Wangnian remained stubborn and retorted, "My wife is different."
Xie Cun was speechless: "Sister-in-law has been away for more than two months."
The atmosphere around seemed to be frozen.
Xie Cun himself didn't know where he got the courage from today to frequently dance in the base commander's minefield.
Maybe it was Boss Jiang who gave him the courage.
"Brother Wang, I just want to ask you one thing. If my sister-in-law comes back, will you still lock her up?"
Pei Wangnian didn't say anything and took a tacit attitude.
Xie Cun took a deep breath and patted the little robot beside him. "Little Hotpot, tell him, is it right to imprison your wife?"
Xiao Hotpot blinked twice and said in a very serious tone, "You can't do this, not even if it's your wife.
The confinement of those in captivity, with limited daily activities and lack of exercise and interaction with others, may lead to a decline in immunity and various physical and psychological illnesses."
After saying that, it sighed and gave Pei Wangnian a critical hit in the end.
"Little brother, no wonder your wife doesn't want you anymore."
Anticipating Pei Wangnian's anger, Xie Cun quickly tried to dissuade him, "Brother Wang, he's an employee of Boss Jiang's, you absolutely can't do anything!"
Pei Wangnian gritted his teeth and endured it, "Xie Cun, you mean, everything is my fault?
If I don't take care of Yaoyao, what will happen if she leaves me? She might even be kidnapped by those people outside."
This is what he worries about every day after he got married.
It was because of his carelessness last time that people ran away from him.
Xie Cun pursed his lips and said what he had wanted to say for a long time but didn't dare to say it in person:
"My sister-in-law is not a pet, she is a living person. You locked her up at home for so long and didn't allow her to contact the outside world. Any normal person would not be able to bear it."
Pei Wangnian has always been unwilling to admit that he was wrong. From childhood to adulthood, he has always gotten whatever he wanted.
He also used some tricks to get the marriage with the Zhou family.
But in the past few days, Yaoyao hid when she saw him and didn't say a word to him.
After Pei Wangnian investigated and found out that his wife had left, he almost committed suicide by jumping off a building, so he didn't dare to push her too hard this time.
"What should I do to win her back?"
This was the first time Xie Cun heard him speak in this tone, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He tilted his head towards the little robot:
"Little hot pot, you tell me."
