Pei Yi listened quietly to the little girl talking to herself. She was still a little puzzled:
“I have always wondered, what is the purpose of my rebirth?”
The spring in Xijiuzhou was still a little cold. The window of his bedroom was half tilted, and the night wind, mixed with spring rain, blew in slowly, lifting the curtains and filling the room with coolness.
He leaned against the window, listening to her late-night phone call with a smile, complaining endlessly.
I could hear the rustling sound of the drizzle falling in the garden outside, and her soft and pleasant voice, interweaving together, making this originally boring night wonderful.
Pei Yi has always known how strong a heart she has beneath her soft appearance. She knows exactly what she wants, so after her rebirth, she decided to enter the entertainment industry. Even Feng Zhongliang could not stop her determination.
She rarely felt so confused. When they were together, he was the one talking most of the time and she was the one listening.
It was rare that she would be confused at this time, and he even listened to her talking with a subtle sense of enjoyment:
"I have always believed that rebirth was to allow me to make up for my past regrets, to let me get to know you and myself again, to not miss the relationship between us, and to examine the relationship between me and my grandfather."
She was a little puzzled, and her words were filled with doubts:
"I thought rebirth showed me another way and made me realize that life does not have only one choice."
She thought that her rebirth was a chance given to her by God, which made her realize that in her life, in addition to obeying her parents and being law-abiding, she had dinner and went on blind dates with Zhao Junhan, and it was natural for them to get engaged in order for the merger of the two companies to be successful.
In the future, becoming Zhao Junhan's wife and repeating a life like Feng's mother, she may also be able to live for herself instead of being labeled by others all her life.
From the daughter of the Feng family to the wife of the Zhao family.
But because of Jiang Zhiyuan and Feng Nan, Jiang Se couldn't help but think of another possibility.
In the childhood kidnapping case, Jiang Se had a brief encounter with Jiang Zhiyuan, which left an impression on him. He mentioned his daughter, and his words were full of protection and love. Perhaps such a cruel person still has a soft corner deep in his heart for the child who continued his bloodline.
Jiang Zhiyuan hurt her when she was young, leaving her with a deep psychological trauma, so many years later, she replaced Jiang Se and became his daughter.
This seems like a kind of karma, like an alternative compensation and balance given by God.
If Jiang Zhiyuan's nineteen years in prison were just a fair trial according to the law, then is the fact that he is living in such a situation now also a chance for God to judge him himself
The decision of whether to forgive him or not is not in his hands, nor in the judge's decision, but in his own heart.
The real trial for that crime has only begun now.
"I really don't understand." She sighed, "If my rebirth is not just a coincidence, but has a reason, then what does Feng Nan have to do with me?"
Pei Yi said casually:
"It may be related to Zhao Junhan."
He recalled the time when he discovered Jiang Se's secret. He took her home one time and happened to find Zhao Junhan and Feng Nan. The two were hugging each other, and it was obvious that they had been having an affair for a long time.
But if you think about it carefully, the real Feng Nan had not known Zhao Junhan for a long time at that time, but their relationship developed so quickly, there must be a reason behind it.
Pei Yi thought about what happened at that time. Although he knew that Jiang Se could not have any relationship with Zhao Junhan, he still felt a little sour when he thought about these past events:
"As soon as you two got into trouble, she couldn't wait to be with Zhao Junhan. It's very likely that, as you said, there was something wrong between these two before they were reborn."
According to Jiang Se's speculation, if the rebirth of the two had not happened, Feng Nan would still be the real Feng Nan, and Jiang Se would still be the original Jiang Se. If things developed in the original order, Feng Nan might follow the arrangements of his family elders and have dinner with Zhao Junhan. With the cooperation between the two companies, they might even get engaged.
Jiang Se will still enter the entertainment industry, but given her original personality, it will be difficult for her to reach the status that Jiang Se has now.
If this is the case, Feng Nan is Zhao Junhan's nominal fiancée, and the current 'Feng Nan' is so close to Zhao Junhan after her rebirth. It is very likely that she had some unclear relationship with Zhao Junhan before her rebirth.
According to Feng Nan's current habits, she has some knowledge of the entertainment industry, knows Jufeng Entertainment, and is unwilling to become a big star, making movies and writing scripts. When she was reborn, she couldn't wait to get into Zhao Junhan's bed and establish a relationship between the two.
Based on these inferences, Pei Yi guessed that the current 'Feng Nan' was most likely a minor celebrity who was not doing very well in her previous life. By chance, she got to know Zhao Junhan and was eager to squeeze Feng Nan out and become Zhao Junhan's wife.
He made a random guess and got it almost right.
Although it was just a guess, I felt extremely jealous when I thought that Jiang Se might be entangled with someone like Zhao Junhan because of the Feng family.
"Just shivering," he murmured in a gentle tone:
"Apart from Feng Nan, apart from those speculations, don't worry about Jiang Zhiyuan." He said this and asked softly:
"Don't you like this kind of rebirth?"
Jiang Se tilted his head and thought for a while, then said 'hmm':
"I like."
She actually likes this kind of life where she has choices, even though the road ahead is much more difficult at the beginning than when she was with Feng Nan.
In addition to all the reasons for entering this industry, she also made all the arrangements for how she handled her relationship with Zhou Hui and others, and what school she should go to after graduating from high school.
Even the progress of her relationship with Pei Yi was her own wish and had nothing to do with her family conditions or environment. It was not like before, when she had dinner with Zhao Junhan arranged by her parents. It was also related to the cooperation between Zhao and Feng's companies.
She began to understand what Pei Yi meant by this. She liked her current life because after her rebirth, she and Pei Yi had a different beginning than she had imagined before. She now had a lover, and her relationship with her grandfather also became better because of the change in their identities.
She is Jiang Se! Accepting this, she should also face the troubles head on instead of just expecting benefits but complaining.
"I'll have someone keep an eye on Feng Nan, and I'll also find something for her to do recently to prevent her from causing you any trouble during this time."
Jiang Se's "A Glimmer of Hope" is about to be released. Now Zhang Jing'an is aiming to win an award with this movie. No trouble can be done at this time, especially since Jiang Se's identity is sensitive.
With Pei Yi's identity, it is not difficult to do this.
However, he has only been in office in Xijiuzhou for a short time and has not made any achievements yet. If he uses the Pei family's influence at this time because of his own affairs, even if he can stop Feng Nan, he may still be reprimanded by Mr. Pei.
He is no longer the willful boy he was when he was young and frivolous. After so many years, Grandpa Pei has put a lot of effort into his eldest grandson and may not like him doing such a thing at this time.
She hesitated and said nothing, but Pei Yi seemed to have guessed what she was thinking:
"Don't worry, it's not hard to cause trouble for her."
There was a hint of laughter in his voice, "There's no need to bring my grandfather out."
Since Pei Yi said so, Jiang Se naturally believed that he was not just talking casually.
At this time of frustration, he was like a towering mountain, standing firmly in front of him and blocking all the storms for him.
The boy who held her hand, chased after her and Feng Zhongliang, cried and shouted that she was not allowed to go back to the Feng family, the boy who secretly intercepted love letters for her, wrote rejection letters for her, and ran to France to build a manor because of her words, grew up to be a harbor for her to stay.
"Ayi." She felt a little sweet in her heart, "I really love you."
She liked him so much, liked this man who had her in his heart since his teenage years, liked his gentle tone when he woke up in the middle of the night and answered her call, liked his arms that were gradually growing taller and stronger, as if he was always there for her to rely on.
This kind of confession had always been made by Pei Yi in the past.
He had imagined many times the scene of Jiang Se confessing her love to him, but she was always Jiang Se. Even when she spoke the lines of proposal, she was smiling.
Pei Yi always wondered how he should react if Jiang Se told him one day that she loved him so much.
Maybe he will say arrogantly: "I love you more."
Perhaps he would be filled with emotion, but Pei Yi had thought of many scenarios, but he never expected that when he heard Jiang Se say this, his heartbeat quickened and a heat wave spread from his neck to his mind.
Even his ears felt hot, he felt shy, at a loss, choked up, and his eyes felt sore, as if tears were about to flow.
Perhaps no one except him could understand that feeling.
"You will love me more in the future." He kissed the phone again, only regretting that Jiang Se was abroad at the moment:
"Sese, talk more next time. I like to hear you say this to me."
He acted like a spoiled child and got Jiang Se's reluctant assurance, the corners of his mouth widening wider.
It was actually quite late at this time, but Pei Yi was not sleepy at all. Jiang Se's previous words were enough to arouse him. It was already late in France, so he checked the time:
"Do you have work tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Jiang Se responded, and he was a little worried, so he told her to go to bed early and not stay up too late.
After talking to him about Jiang Zhiyuan's matter, Jiang Se felt calm.
After saying good night and hanging up the phone, Pei Yi still kept holding the phone against his cheek until the temperature of the phone slowly cooled down due to the long call with Jiang Se. He sighed and called Nie Dan directly without caring that it was already early in the morning:
"A Dan, do me a favor tomorrow."
On the other end of the phone, Nie Dan cursed:
"You two are never done with each other, right?"
Jiang Se had just called him more than two hours ago and woke him up from his sleep. Jiang Se was a woman, her sister-in-law, so he couldn't get angry. But he couldn't let Pei Yi call him again just as he was falling asleep!
"Stop talking nonsense! Go to the audience pavilion for me and get a video for me."
Nie Dan hadn't woken up yet. When he heard what he said, he wiped his face.
"What video?"
Nie Dan is also a smart man. Chaojin Pavilion is Pei Yi's territory. If he wants any video, he can just make a phone call.
Since it got through him, it was probably related to not wanting to be 'greeted' by the elders.
"A few years ago, when I took Sese to the Chaojin Pavilion, Qiu Ji also called Feng Nan over."
As soon as he mentioned this, Nie Dan's remaining sleepiness disappeared, and he naturally realized that something was wrong.
Even though many years had passed since that incident, Nie Dan still remembered it clearly.
Because Pei Yi was too weird at that time. He first fell in love with Feng Nan and pursued her desperately for several years. For her, he even bought a house in France, but he still didn't dare to confess his feelings.
At that time, Feng Nan was having a hot affair with the guy from the Zhao family of Jianghua Group, so he ignored him for half a year. At first, he was in a daze all day long, looking like he was dying, and his brothers all guessed that this guy was doomed.
But Pei Yi turned around and was with Jiang Se, and became cold towards Feng Nan.
Xiang Qiuji invited Feng Nan to come to Chaojin Pavilion to play that time. After she arrived, Pei Yi cheated her and made her lose tens of millions.
After that incident, the brothers all knew Pei Yi's inner attitude, and they all distanced themselves from Feng Nan.
I thought that the tens of millions were a lesson given by Pei Yi to Feng Nan, to embarrass her at the time and to deliberately embarrass her. But now Pei Yi brought up the old matter again, and it was obvious that he was looking for trouble.
Then I thought about the phone call Jiang Se made tonight, asking her to check whether the movie "Revenge" shot by Feng Nan a few years ago was plagiarized.
These two people asked him to help investigate something at the same time, and the things they investigated were all related to Feng Nan. If he said it was a coincidence, Nie Dan would dare to twist his head off!
He quickly went over the matter in his mind, and finally couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Brother Yi, tell me, how did Feng Nan offend you? Now that you have found this video, are you going to nail her to death?"
After he asked this question, Pei Yi didn't say anything, and the phone suddenly fell silent. Nie Dan's heart sank, and he laughed and tried to save face:
"I just want to know, if she offends you, we brothers can't let her go..."
“It’s not a big deal actually.”
Pei Yi seemed to know what he was thinking at the moment, and said calmly: "We have been friends for many years, is there anything you don't know about me? This matter is related to Sese."
He knew that Nie Dan asked this not because he was really curious about his privacy, but maybe Nie Dan was just a little uneasy.
As Pei Yi said, these guys grew up together, hung out together, and got into trouble together. What kind of bad things have they not done
We were punished together and scolded together, but as we grew older, we chose different paths and could no longer play together whenever we wanted like before.
Nie Dan asked this question just to test his attitude and see if he still regarded them as brothers.
"Brother Yi..." Nie Dan felt a little embarrassed when Pei Yi hit the nail on the head, but still felt relieved. Pei Yi said:
"Feng Nan was kidnapped when he was young. One of the kidnappers was named Jiang, Sese's biological father. He was imprisoned in Hong Kong for 19 years and returned to the capital a few years ago. Feng Nan may have suspected that this incident was related to Sese, and he is investigating her recently." (To be continued)
