The time after the New Year passed extremely quickly, with news coming one after another, and Pei Yuanyuan's incident had long been suppressed.
The entrepreneurial project that Pei Zhiyu and Qiao Yue were busy with also took shape.
It happened that Qin Mengzhi was discharged from the hospital that day. Qin Hezhou said that he had bought a plane ticket for her to go abroad and asked Pei Zhiyu if he wanted to go with her to see her off.
As soon as he finished sending the message, Qin Mengzhi knocked him aside, "Why are you asking if you want to see her? Why don't you just say that you want to see her?"
"Okay, okay, I'll tell her right away." Qin Hezhou said with a smile.
Pei Zhiyu responded quickly and naturally agreed. She said she would rush to the hospital herself. Qin Hezhou was worried, so he ordered his bodyguards to pick her up.
Just after ten o'clock, she came down from upstairs and saw this procession of people in black clothes and black cars...
If she hadn't seen the familiar license plate, she would have thought she had gotten in trouble with some gangster boss.
When she arrived, Qin Hezhou and Qin Mengzhi had just come out of the inpatient department. There was another car parked in the basement. Qin Hezhou helped his aunt get into that car, then turned and came to Pei Zhiyu's side.
After getting in the car, Pei Zhiyu asked in confusion: "Why are we sitting separately?"
Qin Hezhou's expression changed, and after a pause he answered her: "I'll go to the airport by myself later."
"So where are we now?"
"To meet my parents." He said seriously.
Pei Zhiyu was stunned. "Aren't your parents already...are we going to the cemetery?"
He nodded. "Yes."
Qin Mengzhi also came up with this idea on a whim. He said that he didn't know how long he would be away before returning, and wanted to pay his respects to his elder brother and sister-in-law before leaving.
Moreover, Pei Zhiyu can be brought over for them to see.
"Your parents' biggest wish is to see you get married and start a family. Now that you have a wife, you should bring her to them to see. If they know about this, they can bless you two." Qin Mengzhi said.
It would be difficult to refuse if that was the case.
He was still nervous. Over the years, he even had to come at a different time from others on his parents' death anniversary.
I don't want to mention this past event in front of other people, nor do I want others to see my vulnerable side.
Even though he knew that Pei Zhiyu was no one else in his heart, he still couldn't resist the surge of nervous emotions.
During the journey, she was a little surprised to see that the route was getting closer and closer to the East City Cemetery.
The best cemetery in Jiangzhou City is located in the east of the city. A plot of land here is equivalent to a two-bedroom apartment in the city center. And just like the Xiangshan Villa, it is not something that can be bought with money.
She suddenly looked at Qin Hezhou, sizing him up with an inquiring gaze.
A strange guess emerged in my mind.
That's impossible, it shouldn't be. She hesitated whether to ask him directly.
but……
"We're here." Qin Hezhou patted her cheek and urged, "Why are you still distracted? Get off the bus."
"Oh, right away." Let's not ask for now, there's still a long way to go.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw Qin Mengzhi walking towards her in a black dress.
Pei Zhiyu greeted her first, Qin Mengzhi nodded slightly in response, then took Pei Zhiyu's hand and led her away.
Qin Hezhou slowly followed behind the two of them.
On the way, Pei Zhiyu looked back, but saw through Qin Hezhou another black car parked behind their car not far away.
It's very strange, but I don't know what's wrong.
Before she could think more, they had already arrived at the cemetery of Qin Hezhou's parents.
The double tombstone is engraved with the names of the two elders: Qin Zhengwen and Tao Yi, and there are photos of them when they were young next to it.
Pei Zhiyu stared at the photo in a trance and didn't even notice when Qin Hezhou walked behind him.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Ah..." She looked at Qin Hezhou and then at the photo of Qin Zhengwen on the tombstone, and said, "I was thinking, you and your mother really look alike."
When Qin Hezhou heard this, his first reaction was disbelief.
He said, "Tsk, you're the second person to say that. Others say that I look more like my dad."
Pei Zhiyu's face was full of confusion, and he frowned and asked him, "How could that be? Although your facial features are like your father, your demeanor and bone structure are really similar to your mother's."
"Really?"
"Of course, there is one more thing. Who is the first one?" she asked curiously.
Qin Hezhou gave a cunning smile, but Qin Mengzhi answered first.
"He's my eldest brother, Xiaozhou's father." She said, her eyes full of tenderness, as if recalling a very good time. "When Xiaozhou was just born and still in swaddling clothes, his father kept saying that he looked like mom, just like mom... They really loved each other."
When he said the last words, there was regret and sorrow that was hard to conceal.
Her elder brother and sister-in-law were both very good people, but they were framed and forced to go abroad. They were separated from their son for many years and finally had the chance to return home to visit their son when he became an adult.
Who would have thought that he would die in a foreign land.
She took Pei Zhiyu's hand and led her to the tombstone. She patiently and kindly introduced the girl whom she had never seen to her elder brother and sister-in-law, telling them that this was the daughter-in-law they had been waiting for.
Because they had to catch a flight, they didn't stay in the cemetery for long.
After coming out, Qin Mengzhi stood in front of the car and looked at Pei Zhiyu reluctantly, "Alas, I don't know when we will see each other next time."
"It's very convenient to buy plane tickets now, aunt." Pei Zhiyu comforted her.
Qin Mengzhi's face brightened. "How about we talk about husband and wife? You and Xiaozhou said the same thing."
After being teased, Pei Zhiyu lowered his head shyly.
"Okay, I'll be leaving now. You two must keep your word and remember to come and see me when you have time."
She breathed a sigh of relief, patted the back of Pei Zhiyu's hand, and continued, "Also, it would be best if you could bring a nephew to see me. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's born to you two."
“…” This time Pei Zhiyu buried his head even lower.
Even Qin Hezhou showed an embarrassed expression, deliberately concealing it and urging Qin Mengzhi to set off.
After watching her leave, he took Pei Zhiyu back to the car, but he didn't expect to bring back the unnatural and awkward atmosphere.
He coughed lightly and said, "Don't take it too seriously. My aunt just likes to joke around."
She raised her head and met his stunned eyes. She couldn't help but smile again, "So do you like boys or girls?"
