Chapter 11 Lychee Rose Cream Cake
Tanjing Mansion.
At this moment, Mr. Shang is watching the 8 o'clock drama on TV.
Shang Heng walked in with a cold face. He had just been rejected at the door of the security room of Yuhua Mingyuan. No matter how he threatened or tempted, the security guard refused to open the door for him.
Calling and messaging Pei Yuning fell on deaf ears, but she didn't block him. She just pretended not to see or hear him.
Mr. Shang glanced at him and asked knowingly, "Where did you go?"
"Grandpa, I admit that I drank too much that day and did something out of line when I was not sober, but I didn't really make any mistakes in principle." Shang Heng stated his position, "I will definitely find out about the trending search and give Ning Ning an explanation. I will never agree to break off the engagement with Ning Ning. She is my fiancée after all."
Shang Yanci had just finished a multinational meeting and was about to return to his bedroom when he happened to hear Shang Heng talking downstairs.
Mr. Shang looked at the scumbag ex-husband who begged the heroine for forgiveness in the TV series, shook his head, and said directly: "It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, it's just a formality. No matter how many mistakes you make, it's still a mistake, and it can't change your nature. Breaking off the engagement is inevitable, it's just your fault that you are not lucky enough to marry Ningning."
Shang Heng clenched his fists at his side: "In Beijing North, I will steal the marriage of whoever she marries except me."
Mr. Shang glared at him angrily: "You idiot!"
Shang Heng wanted to say something else, but he heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
He raised his head and saw Shang Yanci walking down the stairs calmly, looking down at him with a condescending look, with an unclear emotion in his eyes.
"Uncle." Shang Heng called respectfully. He did not dare to be rude in front of Shang Yanci.
Firstly, Shang Yanci and his father were half-brothers, and Shang Yanci's mother died after giving birth to him, so he grew up in his grandfather's house in France. As a result, they had only met a few times and were not close. Secondly, as soon as Shang Yanci returned to China, he punished several disobedient little troublemakers in the clan and made them kneel in the ancestral hall for a long time. No one dared to plead for them, and even his grandfather acquiesced to his actions. Thirdly, his father said that Shang Yanci returned to China this time to seize power, so he had to deal with it carefully to avoid being caught.
Shang Yanci seemed not to hear what he said and just looked at him.
The oppressive feeling given by that look was like the flash of a real sword. Shang Heng lowered his head and avoided it. He thought that maybe the voice he spoke just now was too loud and disturbed the peace of this uncle.
Mr. Shang: "Yanci, please make time at noon the day after tomorrow. People from the Pei family will come over."
Shang Yanci: "Come to cancel the engagement?"
Mr. Shang didn't understand why he asked even though he knew the answer. He guessed that he might have been too busy recently and had forgotten what he had said before. So he nodded and said, "Yes, cancel the engagement."
"I understand." Shang Yanci said, "I will attend the wedding banquet on time at noon the day after tomorrow."
After saying that, Shang Yanci walked towards the kitchen, took out the fresh lychees from the refrigerator, and washed them one by one.
Shang Heng opened his mouth but no sound came out. He stood there for a moment, then walked up the stairs quietly, but suddenly he felt a thorn in his side.
When he reached the corner of the second floor, he couldn't help but look back. Grandpa was watching TV in the living room, and uncle was washing lychees in the kitchen. No one was looking at him. It was just his illusion.
The next day.
To be on the safe side, Pei Yuning chose a restaurant he had eaten at before, which had a rich variety of dishes and tasted very good.
In order to avoid traffic jams, I made an appointment with Shang Yanci to meet at the gate of Yuhua Mingyuan at 11 o'clock.
Song Qingyi was worried about Pei Yuning, this innocent little sweetheart, so she called her on video and taught her some back-and-forth tactics. Pei Yuning nodded repeatedly and humbly accepted the advice.
Because of work reasons and the subtle influence of her elder brother Pei Yunzhi, Pei Yuning has a strong sense of time. It is impolite to make others wait without agreeing on a time.
Going downstairs early and passing the hall, Mrs. Pei looked at Pei Yuning who was dressed up beautifully and asked, "Ningning is not having lunch at home?"
Pei Yuning: "Well, I have an appointment with a friend."
Madam Pei sighed, "You have all grown up and are busy with your own things. When you were little, the three of you sat in a row to eat, so well behaved. Now, I see you and the second child more often, but your eldest brother hasn't come home for several days in a row. I don't know what he is busy with."
Master Pei patted his wife's hand and said, "I have always been with you."
Pei Yuning came over, hugged Madam Pei and rubbed her face affectionately: "Grandma, Ningning will come back to have dinner with you in the evening. My eldest brother was busy with the mechanical engineering project in Hong Kong City some time ago. He went back and forth between the two places and was busy until the early morning every time. It was inconvenient for him to come back, but now it is in the final stage. I will call him later and ask him to take time to come back to have dinner with you in the evening."
"I just said it casually. Whether he accompanies me or not is secondary. What's important is his health." Mrs. Pei just said a few words, not wanting to waste her time any more. "Okay, Ningning, go meet your friends and have fun."
Pei Yuning: "Well, bye, grandpa and grandma."
"Bye." The two old people looked at her lovingly as she left.
We arrived at the entrance of Yuhua Mingyuan at 10:50.
Pei Yuning got out of the security guard's car and saw Shang Yanci's Rolls-Royce parked outside the door.
With single-sided car windows, people outside cannot see what is happening inside, but people inside can clearly see what is happening outside.
Pei Yuning walked over, the back door was pushed open, Shang Yanci got out of the car, walked up to her, took the pear wine in her hand, and asked, "Are you feeling hangover-like?"
Shang Yanci held the bottom of the gift box containing pear wine with one hand and hooked the top tie with the other hand, without touching Pei Yuning's hand the whole time.
He did not try to do these movements deliberately; everything happened naturally and effortlessly.
Pei Yuning lowered her eyes and looked at her empty right hand. She just chose to let go of her hand very naturally. After a few seconds of silence, she said, "No, I drank hangover tea before going to bed last night."
"That's good. Please get in the car, Miss Pei." Shang Yanci walked to the side of the car and put his hand on the upper edge of the door to prevent her head from hitting it.
"Thank you." Pei Yuning glanced at him, bent down and sat in the car.
After closing the car door, Shang Yanci put the pear wine on the passenger seat and then walked around to the back seat on the other side and got in the car.
The driver drove quietly.
Shang Yanci: "It's still a long way to the restaurant, do you want to try this first?"
Pei Yuning lowered her eyes and looked over. Shang Yanci's palm was very big, and a piece of lychee rose cream cake was firmly held on it.
