"No." Cen Yu finished rinsing her mouth and began to settle accounts with Wen Jingyao, "Why do I have to pay for your clothes too?"
“Pick up the clothes and take a look,” Wen Jingyao said.
Cen Yu looked down at the laundry basket in the bathroom. "Here?" He cautiously looked at the other person. "...What did you do?"
"Are you worried I'll plant a bomb inside to ambush you?" Wen Jingyao walked over and pulled out his clothes right in front of Cen Yu... The shirt was covered in blood. "It's ruined."
Cen Yu pointed at the clothes, then at herself, "While I was asleep, who secretly beat you up?"
Wen Jingyao crumpled up the clothes and threw them back into the laundry basket. "By your boyfriend." He looked at Cen Yu, "After I woke up from my dream..."
Wen Jingyao admitted that he had intended to provoke, but he did not expect Pei Leyun to be so aggressive. After he said that provocative sentence, his head was in excruciating pain. In that instant, he felt as if something had taken over his body... When he came to his senses, he found himself desperately banging his head against the wall, blood gushing from his nose, his shirt ruined, and there was even blood on the floor of Cen Yu's bedroom.
“Go look at the wall, you might still see the blood I splattered there,” Wen Jingyao said, brushing aside the strands of hair from his forehead to show Cen Yu the bruises and swelling on his forehead. “If you had used any more force, your brain would have been shaken to its limit.”
Cen Yu: "..."
"He told me in my dream..."
"What did you say?" Wen Jingyao asked irritably.
“He wasn’t the one who appeared in the Pei family’s dream before.” Cen Yu wasn’t making excuses for Pei Leyun, but he felt that something was off about the whole thing—not just Pei Leyun herself, but also Pei Baijun and the entire Pei family. It was as if there were other secrets hidden behind the truth that Pei’s father told him.
The old lady was indeed superstitious, but there was one thing Cen Yu couldn't understand... The old lady was quite old when she gave birth to Pei Baijun. Since Pei Baijun already had an heir, why did she still have to give birth to a younger son who was 20 years younger than her?
As the two were talking, Cen Yu heard the doorbell ring.
He thought it was Pei Heng and the others returning, so he immediately went to the door. Wen Jingyao followed behind him, wanting to take the opportunity to tell Pei Heng and the others about the results of his dream last night.
"Click." Cen Yu opened the door.
"I just happened to be passing by..." Meng Yunqiu stopped mid-sentence.
Looking at Wen Jingyao standing behind Cen Yu, and Cen Yu herself looking like she had just woken up and was still wearing her pajamas, he immediately felt something was wrong.
"What are you doing here..." Meng Yunqiu subconsciously wanted to ask Cen Yu, "Who is that man behind you?"
Then I realized that asking such a question was really inappropriate.
Finally, he could only restrain himself and say, "I just happened to be passing by, and since you haven't been to work lately, I thought I'd take this opportunity to explain the work arrangements to you."
Cen Yu: "..."
He felt that it would be entirely fair if Meng Yunqiu were to be hung from a streetlight one day; given her current situation, why was she still thinking about work arrangements?!
"Hello, I'm Cen Yu's boss," Meng Yunqiu said, extending her hand to Wen Jingyao.
Wen Jingyao nodded and extended his hand as well. "Wen Jingyao, he invited someone to exorcise the ghost."
"Exorcising ghosts?" Meng Yunqiu was about to ask who she was exorcising... when she suddenly remembered that the other person's fiancé had just died.
Cen Yu watched Meng Yunqiu's expression change several times before finally opening the door and saying, "Come in and let's talk." He wanted to show Meng Yunqiu Pei Leyun's photo.
...
Meng Yunqiu had just changed her shoes and entered the living room when she saw the photo of Cen Yu and Pei Leyun.
He was sitting on the sofa, pondering how to begin his work arrangements, when he heard Cen Yu ask, "Would you like some tea?"
Meng Yunqiu was about to say no, but Cen Yu slammed a cup of milk tea down in front of him.
“?” Meng Yunqiu looked up.
"Drink up," Cen Yu said. "Milk tea, it's delicious."
Wen Jingyao watched silently from the side. He seemed to have no awareness of avoiding other people when they were discussing business, until Meng Yunqiu said, "I have some work-related matters to discuss with Cen Yu."
“You guys chat,” Wen Jingyao said, taking out his phone. “I’m playing games.”
Meng Yunqiu was puzzled. Could this person not understand human speech?
But Wen Jingyao wasn't his subordinate, and he really couldn't control where the other person sat. He could only look at Cen Yu and ask, "Can we talk somewhere else?"
Cen Yu looked towards the study. "There?"
“Okay.” Meng Yunqiu picked up her milk tea and was about to stand up when she noticed that Wen Jingyao, who had been playing on his phone, immediately put it away, looking like he was going to follow her.
“Mr. Wen,” Meng Yunqiu reminded him, “we’d like to discuss some work-related matters.”
"I didn't stop you from talking," Wen Jingyao said, puzzled.
"What I mean is, it's best if there are no outsiders present."
“That won’t do.” Wen Jingyao pointed at Cen Yu. “He’s my client. I’m worried he might get killed by a ghost if he’s not careful.”
"Besides, he hasn't reimbursed me yet, he can't die."
Meng Yunqiu grew up in his mother's house and knew a little about these things. He also had a natural ability to see ghosts, but after not using it for many years, he gradually forgot about these past experiences.
Thinking of this, he looked at the group photos in the living room again.
Besides Cen Yu himself, the person in the group photo was his fiancée... Meng Yunqiu only knew that he was the adopted son of the Pei family, but he didn't know what he looked like. When he first heard that Cen Yu's fiancée was this person, he was a little surprised.
His mother's family had some involvement in this field, while his father's side was entirely businessmen.
