Chapter 65 Zhang Ruojin
Watching her son go upstairs to rest, Pei's mother held the bank card, her eyes a little hot.
Although she was not short of money in life, she was so moved by her son's kindness that she was speechless.
Late at night, after confirming that Pei Song was asleep, Pei's mother picked up her phone and dialed a number she hadn't contacted for a long time.
"Hello?" Pei's father's voice was filled with obvious surprise. He obviously didn't expect to receive a call from his ex-wife.
"It's me." Pei's mother's voice was very calm. "Do you know about Songsong's situation?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while: "I know, but mom..."
"You are still the same," Pei's mother chuckled, but her tone was slightly sarcastic, "you always only say 'but'."
"I......"
"Listen," Pei's mother interrupted him, her tone a little heavy, "I don't care how much your mother dislikes me, that's all in the past. But Songsong is different, he finally has a job he likes now. If you continue to be like before, only looking at your mother's face, and let Songsong embarrass himself in the company, it would be really outrageous."
"I understand..." Pei's father's voice sounded somewhat guilty.
"If you really understand, just take care of your mother." Mother Pei's tone softened a little, "Songsong is our child, not your Pei family's doll. He has the right to live the life he wants."
After hanging up the phone, Pei's mother stood at the window, looking at the quiet courtyard under the moonlight.
Before she knew it, the little boy she had held in her arms had grown into a tall and handsome young man.
But as a mother, she still feels distressed, worried, and wants to protect him from the wind and rain.
On Monday morning, Pei Song arrived at the company half an hour earlier than usual.
He stood at the entrance of the SNK Building, looking around vigilantly, fearing that Grandma Pei would suddenly appear in some corner.
There were people coming and going in the lobby, and there seemed to be more security guards than usual.
Pei Song breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly towards the elevator.
At this time, a black car was starting at the door of Pei's villa.
"Old Li, take me directly to Pei Song's workplace today." Grandma Pei sat in the back seat, her tone unquestionable.
She dressed deliberately to be simple and low-key, but her domineering aura could not be concealed.
"Yes, old lady." The driver responded respectfully. While Grandma Pei was sorting out her clothes, he secretly sent a message to Father Pei: "Mr. Pei, the old lady wants to go to SNK to see Mr. Song. I'll take her there now."
Along the way, Grandma Pei kept urging us: "Drive faster!"
While responding, Lao Li deliberately took a detour, first turning to Central Park, then to Financial Street, and finally driving towards SNK.
The SNK Building logo was clearly visible in the distance. Lao Li secretly slowed down the car, feeling very anxious.
Just then, a business car came speeding over and blocked their car.
Special Assistant Zhao got out of the car and walked quickly to the window: "Old lady, Mr. Pei asked me to pick you up."
"Go back?" Grandma Pei snorted coldly, "I want to see Pei Song!"
"Madam," Assistant Zhao said respectfully but firmly, "you'd better come back with us."
Before Grandma Pei could say anything, her cell phone rang. It was Father Pei calling:
"Mom, don't be angry. Songsong is doing very well in the company. Please don't bother him."
"I don't care whether he does a good job or not!" Grandma Pei said angrily, "This evil creature doesn't even take me, his grandma, seriously!"
"Mom," Pei's father's voice became stern, "I can obey you in everything, but Songsong is my only son, I will not allow anyone to destroy him!"
"You! How dare you talk to me like that?" Grandma Pei was shaking with anger.
Pei's father's voice was cold: "You are not allowed to disturb Songsong from now on!"
Special Assistant Zhao had already opened the door of the business car, and Grandma Pei got in the car with a terribly gloomy face.
During lunch break, Pei Song was sorting documents in the office when his cell phone vibrated. It was an unfamiliar number.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the phone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Pei Song?" A beautiful female voice came from the phone, "I'm Zhang Ruojin, and Grandma Pei introduced us to each other."
Pei Song frowned. It turned out that this was the name of his blind date.
"I'm sorry," he said bluntly, "but I'm not interested in blind dates."
"Don't be so quick to refuse," Zhang Ruojin said with a chuckle, her voice gentle but a little cunning, "Why don't we meet first? It's at LACOFFEE downstairs from your company."
"Ms. Zhang," Pei Song's voice became even colder, "I've made it very clear that this matter is off the table."
He was about to hang up the phone, but Zhang Ruojin said, "You don't want to be harassed by Grandma Pei, do you?"
"I can play a trick with you," she continued, "It's better to make Grandma Pei give up than to be bothered by her all the time."
Pei Song sneered: "Miss Zhang is really enthusiastic."
"Actually," Zhang Ruojin's tone became playful, "I approached Grandma Pei for another purpose. Do you know who spread the negative news about the Pei family?"
Pei Song frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Come down and talk?" Zhang Ruojin said with a smile, "Some things are better discussed face to face."
Pei Song stared at his phone for a while, then finally got up and went downstairs.
This woman's words are full of hidden meanings, and he has to find out what she wants to do.
Pei Song walked into LACOFFEE and glanced at the tables of guests in the store.
A young woman sitting by the window raised her hand to signal.
Pei Song approached and saw a woman who was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. She had delicate makeup and exuded a calm temperament that did not match her age.
"Mr. Pei, I'm Zhang Ruojin." The woman said with a smile, "Although I've seen you in photos, you're even more radiant in person."
Pei Song ignored the compliment and sat down opposite her: "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Ruojin picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Do you know how your grandmother treated my mother?"
Pei Song was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"My mom and your dad were each other's first love," Zhang Ruojin said calmly, "and they were forced to separate by your grandma when they were talking about marriage. My mom married my dad in a fit of rage, but she didn't know that this was the biggest mistake of her life."
Her fingers unconsciously stroked the coffee cup: "My father never liked my mother as a person. At that time, my grandfather had not retired yet, and he came for the power and status of the Zhang family."
Zhang Ruojin's voice was full of sarcasm: "He would do anything to get to the top. He relied on my mother's status to make friends everywhere and used all kinds of despicable means. When I was ten years old, he wanted to please an important person and even got my mother drunk at a drinking party, hoping to... "
