Chapter 23 Inviting Shen Luoyin to dinner
The sky was slightly green, with a hint of blue, and it was sluggishly permeating the courtyard.
Song Yu really couldn't sleep, so he went downstairs with his hair in a mess to find something to eat. However, he saw a familiar figure in the depths of the corridor.
Pei Yuezhou leaned on the carved wooden railing, his superior figure outlined by the sunlight seeping in from outside the corridor, and from time to time the wind blew the hair on his forehead into disarray.
The cigarette butt between his fingers gradually turned gray. He didn't know how long he had been silent for, as if he was a little absent-minded.
It was not until the flame was close to his fingers and he felt the burning sensation that he finally put out the cigarette butt, but there was still residual warmth on his fingertips and a faint scent of tobacco.
Song Yu had wanted to be abstract and scare Pei Yuezhou, but the person with his back to him saw through everything and turned around: "Awake?"
Song Yu knew Pei Yuezhou was a calm person, but he had never expected him to be so calm. He was stunned: "Brother Zhou, you knew I was here last night. Isn't your reaction to me a little too calm?!"
Isn't it weird that my good brother is dead in his own house early in the morning?
Pei Yuezhou threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and continued to stare at the morning light outside.
He said calmly, "I even saw your sister-in-law dig you out of the grave with my own eyes."
Song Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat, his face filled with a look of despair: "Um...Brother Zhou, my sister-in-law won't let me tell you, can you just pretend you know nothing?"
He seemed to have expected it and didn't ask any further questions.
The light in the distance was getting brighter and brighter, even becoming a little dazzling. It was the sun rising, and he squinted slightly physiologically.
"Okay, listen to your sister-in-law."
Song Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and came to the railing to stand shoulder to shoulder with Pei Yuezhou: "Brother Zhou, how is Xiao Nuan doing recently?"
Before he died, he entrusted Song Nuan to Pei Yuezhou. Although he knew that he was a reliable person, he was still a little worried about his only sister.
Pei Yuezhou: "I haven't allowed her to contact the Song family. She is currently studying at Saint Sis."
Saint Sis is an aristocratic institution invested and built by the Pei family, so you can be said to be studying under the supervision of your own people.
"Then I feel relieved."
The air suddenly fell silent for a moment. Song Yu hesitated to speak and looked at Pei Yuezhou several times.
But in the end he didn't say anything.
Instead, Pei Yuezhou glanced at him and said, "Why don't you ask Shen Luoyin?"
Song Yu rested his chin on his arm, leaning on the railing. His voice was a little vague: "Why should I ask her? She's already engaged. Without me bothering her, she must be very happy."
Pei Yuezhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard him say something inconsistent.
"She came to see me the other day."
Song Yu's attention was immediately drawn, and he couldn't even maintain his nonchalant expression: "What does she want you to do?"
"Cooperate with me and kill the Song family."
These few words made Song Yu obviously panic: "Zhou, Brother Zhou."
What concerned him was not the Song family, but the cooperation between Shen Luoyin and Pei Yuezhou.
Pei Yuezhou was the best choice for both friendship and business cooperation. However, when it came to life-threatening matters, he was definitely not a good partner.
Because no one can be more cruel than him.
He quickly said: "Brother Zhou, Shen Luoyin just had a brain twitch, don't let her sit at the table!"
Pei Yuezhou sneered and said maliciously: "Then let her come and tell me herself."
Song Yu was speechless for a moment: "I..."
"Contact her as soon as possible." He reached out and patted Song Yu's shoulder, then left in a good mood, leaving Song Yu standing there with a sad face.

Yu Zhi slept until she woke up naturally. To her surprise, her arms didn't seem to be as sore as she had imagined. Although it was indeed uncomfortable, it was okay.
So she gave up the idea of secretly applying the medicated oil. After all, the smell was too strong and Pei Yuezhou would easily notice it.
When she went downstairs, she saw Pei Yuezhou and Song Yu sitting at a long dining table, one in front of the other, eating breakfast. The atmosphere was particularly peaceful.
Yu Zhi guessed that this guy must have found an excuse to fool her, so she didn't say anything more and sat down next to Pei Yuezhou.
Immediately, a servant brought her breakfast to the table. It was her favorite English breakfast. She took a bite of sausage and looked up to see Song Yu, who was poking at the rice on the plate, as if he had encountered some big trouble.
Yu Zhi nudged Pei Yuezhou next to her with her elbow and whispered, "What's going on with him?"
Why do you look like you've been heartbroken?
Pei Yuezhou swallowed the milk in his mouth, then leaned close to her ear and whispered: "I want to rekindle my relationship with Shen Luoyin, but I'm very timid."
Yu Zhi didn't know Shen Luoyin, but she could tell that it was his white moonlight.
"Hey, this cowardly attitude of not fighting or competing is really not as good as yours."
Pei Yuezhou's eyes were full of joy when he was praised. He touched Yu Zhi's head with his, and the two smiled at each other.
Opposite them, Song Yu stared at them with resentment: "Please, I'm not deaf or blind, you might as well come and laugh in my ear."
Yu Zhi shrugged innocently, and Pei Yuezhou curled his lips provocatively.
Song Yu: ...
Is it possible to achieve a world where he is the only one hurt?
Although Pei Yuezhou didn't show it on his face, Yu Zhi could see that he was very happy about Song Yu's return. Although he was still very busy, he changed to working from home.
Song Yu, on the other hand, sat alone in the pavilion after breakfast, feeling melancholy about the passing of time.
Yu Zhi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the study and could just see him. She had finished eating an apple, but he didn't move at all, like a plaster statue.
She shook her head helplessly and came to Pei Yuezhou who was signing at the table and complained: "When it comes to love, they say God is the most important thing, but in fact, if you don't fight for it, you will have nothing."
If Song Yu continues to be so timid, his wife will run away with someone else.
Pei Yuezhou looked up at her with a faint smile in his eyes. He suddenly stood up, circled Yu Zhi in front of the table, and put his thin lips close to him: "Madam, are you hinting at something?"
Yu Zhi pressed her fingertips on his forehead with some force, and Pei Yuezhou cooperated by tilting his head back.
"Don't make things worse for yourself. If you keep grabbing, I'll really become a canary in a cage."
Although her words were all joking, Pei Yuezhou's eyes deepened slightly, and the hand that was stroking her waist increased its strength.
But once the opportunity arises, the bird in the cage will take the chance to fly high... But if its wings are broken, will the bird stay in the cage forever?
His kiss fell on Yu Zhi's earlobe, and no one saw the madness flashing in his eyes.
But the last bit of rationality brought him back to his senses and he forcibly restrained his absurd thoughts.
No, the light in her eyes would fade and it would hurt.
Yu Zhi didn't notice his strangeness, she put her arms around his neck, her eyes full of cunning: "Do you have Shen Luoyin's contact information, invite her over for dinner?"
Pei Yuezhou saw what she was going to do and laughed.
Cooperate and hand over the phone.
