Chapter 99 Returning to China
france.
The night before returning to Beijing, Shang Yanci invited his cousin Chu Weiying to dinner.
The place was a creative restaurant she had chosen, and there was a constant stream of people checking in.
Chu Yiying walked into the restaurant holding a bunch of crushed ice blue roses bought from a street flower shop, sat down opposite Shang Yanci, and placed her bag and roses on the chair beside her.
Chu Yiying handed him the perfume gift box in her hand and said, "Xiao Ci, I made two bottles of your perfume. One is a new blend, and the other is the original blend of your perfume with rose and orchid added."
Shang Yanci took it and said, "Thank you, sister."
Chu Yiying picked up the white wine on the table and sipped it. "We are a family, why should we be so polite? However, I am a little curious. My perfume bottles are specially made to prevent volatility. Your previous bottle was used up in less than two months? How many times do you have to spray it every day?"
Shang Yanci couldn't help but think of Pei Yuning sitting in his arms, sniffing here and there, and chuckled: "There should be some of that bottle left, but not much."
Chu Yiying: "If my sister-in-law doesn't like those two perfumes, next time you come back, take her to my perfume room and let her choose the scent she likes."
Shang Yanci: "Okay."
The two ate and chatted, and after dinner, they prepared to leave the restaurant.
Chu Yiying replied to the message on her phone, and when she stood up, she forgot about the bag and the crushed ice blue rose at her side.
Shang Yanci walked over, bent down and picked it up.
"Look at my memory." After replying to the message, Chu Yiying reached out to take the bag and rose from Shang Yanci's hand.
Back at the villa, grandpa brought the two suits he had just made to Shang Yanci's bedroom.
One set is matte pink, and the other set is mint green, which are Pei Yuning's favorite colors.
Grandma said, "Xiaoci, stack your suits and put them in your suitcase when you leave tomorrow morning. When you arrive in Beijing, remember to take them out, iron them, and hang them in your closet."
Shang Yanci: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Grandpa."
Grandpa: "Time is tight, so I only made two sets. I'll airfreight the rest when they're done."
Since returning to China, my grandfather has been making suits for Pei Yuning except for eating and resting.
Shang Yanci: "Grandpa, it's summer now. Ningning is afraid of the heat and rarely wears a suit. Take your time, don't rush. It's perfect for autumn. You haven't been with grandma much these days. She must be unhappy."
Grandpa snorted proudly: "She has been having so much fun these days that she has forgotten to come back."
It was obvious that his butter cookies were more delicious, but she said that the ones from the neighbor's house were more delicious. She refused to have afternoon tea at home for the past few days, and knocked on the neighbor's door on time when it was time.
Shang Yanci smiled and comforted her: "No, it's nothing. When you are at home, grandma will be very anxious to go home. Put a few more grams of fructose in the dessert tomorrow afternoon. Grandma's blood sugar has been stable recently, so it's okay for her to eat less."
Grandpa responded: "Okay."
After a night's rest, Shang Yanci had breakfast with the two elders the next morning and then took a car to the airport.
Before boarding the plane, I chatted with Pei Yuning, who was working in the afternoon, as usual, turned off my phone, and flew back to Beijing North.
Night addiction
While Pei Yuning was drinking, he listened to Song Qingyi talking about the latest gossip about the wealthy families in northern Beijing.
Song Qingyi couldn't stop praising her: "You don't know how powerful that sister is. The reason why Chen Xu's family fell so thoroughly was because of her."
Pei Yuning snorted coldly: "Didn't Chen Xu like to keep a mistress? Now, he has been forced into bankruptcy by his mistress who used her beauty to lure him into a business war. He has reaped the fruits of his own actions."
Song Qingyi shook the goblet gently: "Who said it wasn't?"
The two of them drank and chatted, and two bottles of Petrus red wine were already empty on the table.
Pei Yuning looked at her phone every once in a while and felt that her phone seemed to be broken, otherwise why didn't she receive Shang Yanci's reply message.
When Fu Siqi arrived at the lounge, the sisters were already drunk. They were talking in low voices and had not gone crazy.
He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Shang Yanci: [Ms. Pei is drinking in my lounge. Can you come pick her up after you finish your work, or should I take her back for you?]
Shang Yanci had just got off the plane and saw Pei Yuning's message. He was about to call her via video to explain the matter of the photo.
Fu Siqi's message popped up, and he clicked on it and asked: "Is she drunk?"
Fu Siqi took a picture of the empty wine bottle on the table and showed it to him: [You look like you are in a bad mood. You didn't get drunk even after drinking so much.]
Shang Yanci: [I'm coming to pick her up now. You stay by the side and make sure she doesn't get bumped into anything.]
Fu Siqi: [Okay.]
The night rain in northern Beijing stopped, Shang Yanci walked out of the airport and told the driver to drive to Night Addiction
On the way, Shang Yanci asked his grandfather for a photo of him and Chu Yiying when they were children. He also sent someone to the restaurant to record a surveillance video to use as evidence to explain to Pei Yuning.
Pei Yunzhi sat in the car and looked at the time on his watch. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. He opened the door and stood up and walked towards Night Addiction opposite.
The Rolls-Royce stopped by the roadside. Shang Yanci got out of the car and saw Pei Yunzhi coming over: "Brother."
Pei Yunzhi said calmly: "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back?"
Shang Yanci: "I don't want Ningning to go back and forth to the airport."
Pei Yunzhi said "hmm".
The two walked into Night Addiction and went up to the fourth floor. Fu Siqi sat next to Pei Yuning and Song Qingyi.
Seeing Shang Yanci and Pei Yunzhi coming, Fu Siqi stood up from the sofa and said, "Nothing happened. I have accomplished my mission and now I am retiring."
Pei Yunzhi nodded slightly: "Thank you."
Fu Siqi: "You're welcome."
Shang Yanci picked up the drunk Pei Yuning. She opened her eyes, looked at him, and then closed them with peace of mind.
Pei Yunzhi: "Yanci, you take Ningning home, and I will take Song Qingyi home."
"Okay." Shang Yanci carried Pei Yuning out of the lounge and got into the back seat of the car. The Rolls-Royce drove steadily.
Pei Yuning slept for a while, then slowly opened her eyes and smelled a familiar scent. She leaned in Shang Yanci's arms, wearing his suit jacket, and his palm protected her lower back.
Pei Yuning raised her head and met Shang Yanci's eyes. She wanted to kiss him, but he was swaying around and she couldn't kiss him at all. Pei Yuning raised her hand in grievance and slapped him in the face.
