Pei Zhiyu was also shocked, and showed the same expression of disbelief as the other two.
"Oh, husband, there's so much blood on your head!" Mrs. Gu cried and scolded Fu Yan for not knowing how to control his strength.
"I think you did this on purpose. You're trying to get back at my husband for not cooperating!"
Pei Zhiyu stood there in a daze, speechless at Mrs. Gu's mad dog-like biting tactics.
Fu Yan started to get scared when he saw the blood. He yelled at Pei Zhiyu, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Call an ambulance!"
"You are a disaster, woman! You killed my dog and injured my husband!"
Fu Yan and Mrs. Gu's voices rose and fell, and the private room suddenly became chaotic.
"Have you had enough of the commotion?"
Mr. Gu covered his bleeding forehead with his hand, his face full of anger. "You still think I'm a fool, don't you?"
"Husband, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Gu was frightened and stood there in a daze, not daring to move, tears starting to flow down her face.
Unexpectedly, he swung his hand and slapped Mrs. Gu directly.
At this point, Fu Yan actually tried to mediate, but Mr. Gu mercilessly turned around and kicked him. He angrily shouted, "I know exactly what you two are planning. Stop playing dumb!"
Pei Zhiyu was a little tired. She didn't want to get involved in this mess anymore, so she took out her phone and asked, "Do you need an ambulance? Or the police?"
"No, no, no! No need!" Mr. Gu waved his hands in panic.
His attitude towards Pei Zhiyu was a little puzzling, as if he was afraid of something, which made her feel puzzled, but she was too lazy to dwell on it and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
Mr. Gu was very humble and bent over to escort Pei Zhiyu out of the restaurant unharmed.
After everyone left, he looked around, wondering if President Qin's spies were still there... Alas, he felt aggrieved that the general manager of a listed company ended up in such an embarrassing state.
Mrs. Gu asked Mr. Gu in confusion why he was so polite to Pei Zhiyu.
"Do you know who she is?!"
"Who?" Mrs. Gu was stunned.
"That mother is the Qin family's granddaughter-in-law, Qin Hezhou's wife!"
Mr. Gu was so angry that he had a headache. He said angrily: "Tengyu doesn't cooperate with Ward. That's Mr. Qin helping his wife to vent his anger. You still go and...you are just asking for trouble!"
"If he moves his finger, we'll all die!"
“…” Mrs. Gu was really scared now.
Pei Zhiyu did not go home immediately after coming out of the restaurant. She leaned on the bench at the station and thought about nothing.
Everything was done, but she felt at a loss. She had been fighting for Ward for so many years, but now she really had to fight alone and she suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
"Miss, do you want to buy some apples?" A little girl appeared with a basket of apples.
Pei Zhiyu was stunned for a moment. Seeing all the apples wrapped in gift boxes, she remembered the one Qin Hezhou gave her last night.
She picked up a box at random, stared at it in a daze, and subconsciously asked, "Is this left over from Christmas Eve?"
"Yes, but these are all fresh, don't worry!" the little girl explained.
Pei Zhiyu didn't listen to what the little girl said at all. Her mind was full of Qin Hezhou's face and voice... She scanned the code to pay and picked out the best-looking gift box.
I want to give it to Qin Hezhou.
If you want to give it to him, get the best.
I want to see him.
Suddenly I really want to see him.
Pei Zhiyu had never been so anxious before. Her hands were shaking when she picked up the phone and she almost pressed the wrong button. Her heart was already in turmoil.
But Pei Zhiyu didn't guess that the person she couldn't wait to see was sitting in the car across the street looking at her.
Qin Hezhou didn't leave because he was worried about Pei Zhiyu.
I was worried that she would be bullied and that she would not be able to protect herself from being wronged as she promised.
It was not until he saw Pei Zhiyu coming out of the restaurant unharmed that Qin Hezhou felt relieved and at ease.
But the next moment, he saw the message on his phone.
I want to see you.
Pei Zhiyu's four short words made his settled heart start to float again.
He looked at his phone and then out the window. Pei Zhiyu had already stood up on the platform and got on the bus to work.
She was holding something in her arms, but it was too far away for Qin Hezhou to see clearly.
The phone vibrates again...
Pei Zhiyu: [Wait for me at home.]
The moment Qin Hezhou saw the news, he almost didn't think about it and blurted out to ask the driver to rush to the community.
You have to get there before her.
Because she told me to wait for her at home.
Qin Hezhou looked at the two messages in the chat box and kept grinning, which made the driver dumbfounded and he had to rush home.
Pei Zhiyu held the peace apple and watched the scenery flash by outside the window. She wanted to see Qin Hezhou so badly.
She felt that she had a lot to say to him now.
As for those confusions and helplessness about the future, she felt that as long as she met Qin Hezhou, she would definitely get the answers.
But what Pei Zhiyu never expected was that when she arrived at the gate of the community, she was greeted not by Qin Hezhou but by the sound of a fire alarm that resounded through the sky.
Thick black smoke drifted from the upper floor of her apartment building, and a raging flame started from the middle of the floor and burned upwards at an extremely difficult to contain speed.
"Oh, that damned guy on the third floor didn't use the electricity properly and the whole building burned down!"
"Ahhh, my old man is still in there!! What should I do!"
The noisy crying and shouting entered Pei Zhiyu's ears. She trembled as she took out her cell phone and kept calling Qin Hezhou.
No one answered.
I called again, but still no one answered.
Why didn't he answer the phone? What happened to him? Where was he? Is he safe?
Pei Zhiyu numbly repeated the action of dialing the phone, his mind full of nothing but whether Qin Hezhou was safe.
Until the firefighters began to prepare to put out the fire, they asked people around if anyone was still in the building...
Pei Zhiyu seemed to be awakened and rushed towards the burnt-out door of the apartment building regardless of anything, scaring the firefighters.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
"Is there someone in there? We'll go rescue them, don't be impulsive!"
The firefighters tried to calm Pei Zhiyu down, but it was no use. She seemed not to hear anything, and her face was stubborn, with the words "I want to save people" written all over it.
She took two steps forward and was pulled back one step by the firefighters.
As they were pulling each other back and forth, Pei Zhiyu suddenly heard a woman's scream beside him, "This is not my husband, how could he be, he is not! You must have made a mistake!!"
The woman cried heartbreakingly as she faced the man who was burned beyond recognition.
Pei Zhiyu suddenly felt nauseous, and a feeling of vomiting rushed to her head, but more of it was panic and fear. She couldn't calm down, and that complicated emotion was swirling in her heart.
She clutched the firefighter's sleeve tightly, and when she opened her mouth, she was so nervous she couldn't even finish her words.
"I, my husband, he, he's here. I can't get through on the phone. He's upstairs." Tears welled up in Pei Zhiyu's eyes.
"Save him, please." She couldn't cry, her mind was blank, the only thing she could think of was to save him.
Just before her mental breakdown, someone pulled her away from the firefighter, squeezed her shoulders hard, and repeatedly called her name.
"Pei Zhiyu."
"Calm down and look at me!"
