Chapter 106: The photo of Ning Ning is in the pocket watch
The driver was about to drive away when he saw Pei Yuning walking out of the group wearing sunglasses.
It's already half an hour after get off work. Isn't the eldest lady always the most active after get off work?
Pei Yunzhi leaned back in the back seat and closed his eyes to rest.
Pei Yuning opened the car door and got in.
Pei Yunzhi heard the voice, opened his eyes, looked at the sunglasses on Pei Yuning's face, and asked, "Ningning, why are you wearing sunglasses in the evening?"
Pei Yuning: "...the sunset glow is dazzling."
Pei Yunzhi stretched out his shield and raised his hand to take off his sunglasses. He saw that Pei Yuning's eyes were wet and her eyes were slightly red. She was stunned for a moment, then raised her hand and covered her eyes.
The hand holding the sunglasses trembled slightly, and Pei Yuning was held in his arms. His previously cold voice became gentle and soft at this moment: "Tell your brother, who bullied my little princess?"
These words seemed to turn on the switch of tears that had been stopped with great difficulty. Pei Yuning choked with grievance and cried quietly in her brother's arms.
The words she heard and saw on Weibo turned into sharp thorns, piercing slowly and heavily into her heart.
Shang Yanci did have a pocket watch, which he often put in his suit pocket. She thought it was just an ordinary pocket watch, used to check the time. But she didn't expect that there was a photo of his secret crush Bai Yueguang in it.
Just like what those people said online, Shang Yanci got married to her after only knowing her for a few days. One reason was because of the Pei family's family background, and the other was because her eyes and eyebrows were very much like the white moonlight that he loved but could not have, so he fell in love with her at first sight.
Can a person fall in love with two people at the same time?
cannot.
So he only loves his white moonlight, and she is just an insignificant substitute.
What is the meaning of the matte pink "papillon" tattoo on Shang Yanci's little finger? Could it be related to the white moonlight?
The last time she asked, Shang Yanci did not give her a direct answer, but changed the subject and asked her what she wanted to tattoo. In the end, the topic was changed and she did not ask any more questions.
Pei Yuning's thoughts were in a mess right now, with two butterflies arguing and buzzing in her head.
A butterfly said, "Go find Shang Yanci and ask him about it. What's the point of your own wild imagination? Can't you feel how he treats you? Why do you believe someone's words instead of his heart?"
Another butterfly said, "What if Shang Yanci really has a white moonlight? Should I act like a grudge and have a hysterical argument with him? Young ladies are all dignified. It's just a man. If this one doesn't work, just change to the next one."
The fabric of the suit was soaked, and Pei Yunzhi felt the temperature of her sister's tears, which were hot at first and gradually turned cold. She cried very sadly, and she hadn't cried so sadly for a long time.
Pei Yunzhi gently patted her shoulder, coaxing her to sleep like when she was a child: "You didn't even tell your brother? Didn't Ningning promise your brother that we are the closest people in this world and we can't have any secrets from each other."
Pei Yuning felt wronged and asked him in a tearful voice: "Brother, will the Pei family always be my home?"
Pei Yunzhi: "Of course, my brother will always be Ningning's brother. Nothing can change the correctness of these two things."
Pei Yuning hugged his waist, like a young bird returning to its mother's warm embrace: "Brother."
Pei Yunzhi coaxed her gently: "Brother is here, don't cry, be good."
After Pei Yuning vented his anger, he felt a little better.
When Pei Yunzhi saw that she had stopped crying, he temporarily refrained from asking her the reason, to prevent her from crying again after she remembered.
After arriving home, Pei Yunzhi handed her the sunglasses in his hand. Pei Yuning put on the sunglasses and got out of the car. She took out her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Shang Yanci: [I will stay at home tonight.]
When I walked into the living room, the whole family was there, sitting quietly on the sofa, no one was talking.
Pei Yuning guessed that some of them had seen the trending search, but she was too tired now and didn't want to deal with anyone's words. The only thing she wanted was to lie down on the bed and rest after taking a bath. She went upstairs silently and walked into the bedroom.
When Pei Yuchen saw the bedroom door closed, he immediately stood up from the sofa and sneered, "I'm going to beat that shameless old man named Shang to death today!"
Master Pei said in a deep voice: "Sit down."
The second uncle and the second aunt pulled Pei Yuchen tightly and forced him to sit down.
Pei Yuchen was the first to discover this. The Weibo post has been removed by the Pei family, and they are investigating who did it.
Master Pei handed the saved video to Pei Yunzhi: "Yunzhi, take a look at this."
Pei Yunzhi took it with both hands and clicked on the video.
Hearing the foreigner's poor Chinese, Pei Yuchen raised his hands to cover his ears with an expression of "I'm so annoyed". He would kick any dog passing by for no reason. If he saw Shang Yanci, he would kick the dog to death.
Pei Yunzhi was silent for a while after watching the video, then said slowly: "Whether what is said in the video is true or not, this is a matter between Ning Ning and Yan Ci. It is not convenient for us to intervene for the time being. I will call Yan Ci and ask him to come over and clarify this matter today."
Subjectively speaking, Pei Yunzhi did not believe a single word in the video.
Pei Yunzhi was the only one in the Pei family who knew the truth about Xu Han's affair. As a younger generation, Shang Yanci would not benefit from knowing the internal affairs of his elders. Instead, it would arouse suspicion from others, who would think that he had designed to drive Xu Han away in order to let Pei Yuning get more of the Pei family's assets.
So the two of them tacitly kept the matter secret, treating it as an "unexpected coincidence."
Shang Yanci did graduate from Stanford University, and he did carry a pocket watch with him. If someone creates wind, there will be waves. It is normal for Ningning and her family to be temporarily blinded by the video.
Pei Yuchen looked unhappy: "What if everything in the video is true?"
Pei Yunzhi said calmly: "Tomorrow is a working day. If the video is true, I will personally take Ningning to the Civil Affairs Bureau and go through the divorce procedures with Shang Yanci. From now on, the Pei and Shang families will never have any contact with each other again."
After hearing this, everyone stopped talking.
Pei Yuchen stood up.
Madam Pei looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Pei Yuchen walked to the kitchen: "Wash the strawberries for Ningning."
Pei Yunzhi walked to the French window and called Shang Yanci.
Shang Yanci answered the phone: "Brother."
Pei Yunzhi: "Where is it?"
Shang Yanci: "On the way to Huamingyuan by car."
Pei Yunzhi asked, "Are you wearing your pocket watch?"
Shang Yanci: "I wore it."
Pei Yunzhi: "Send me a message when you get home. Now drive with peace of mind."
Shang Yanci roughly guessed something and whispered, "Okay."
Pei Yunzhi returned to sit on the sofa and saw Pei Yuchen carrying a bowl of washed strawberries upstairs.
Pei Yuchen put the strawberries at the door and sent a WeChat message to Pei Yuning: [Little Princess, the sweet strawberries are in the hanging bag at the door, remember to take them later.]
While Pei Yuchen was going downstairs, he sent a message to the investigators, asking about the progress.
He only showed the video to the elders in the family. Ningning was wearing sunglasses when she came home, and it was obvious that she had been crying. This meant that she not only watched the video, but also read the negative comments under the video. She must be very sad now.
Shang Yanci arrived at the main residence gate, got off the car and sent a WeChat message to Pei Yunzhi: [Brother, I’m here.]
Pei Yunzhi: [Wait for me to come out.]
Shang Yanci: [Good.]
Pei Yunzhi stood up and walked out, opened the door, and saw Shang Yanci standing by the car. He handed him the video.
Shang Yanci watched the beginning and understood everything. He paused the video with his finger, took out the pocket watch from his pocket, opened it, and faced Pei Yunzhi.
Pei Yunzhi lowered his eyes to look at his pocket watch, which contained a photo of Pei Yuning taken on her fifteenth birthday. He asked, "How do you have this photo of Ningning?"
Shang Yanci: "I want to go up and see her first."
Pei Yunzhi: "Okay."
Things have different levels of urgency and the most important thing right now is to coax Pei Yuning.
Shang Yanci walked into the hall and looked at everyone: "I will explain the contents of the video to the elders later."
After saying this, Shang Yanci walked upstairs to the bedroom.
Pei Yunzhi gave everyone a reassurance: "There is a photo of Ningning in the pocket watch."
Shang Yanci picked up the strawberries from the transparent bag hanging at the door, opened the door and walked in.
The light in the bathroom was on. He walked to the sofa and put the strawberries and uterus-warming pills on the table.
Jin Jin crawled out of the cat nest, walked in front of Shang Yanci and meowed.
Shang Yanci bent down, reached out, held it in his arms, skillfully combed its hair, and rubbed its chin.
Pei Yuning came out of the bathroom and looked at the scene in front of him. He immediately got angry: "You are not allowed to touch my cat!"
