I was silent for a long time.
Qiao Yi may not be very rational, but he is sensible enough. He understands that some things in the world are just like this. To get one is to sacrifice the other. You cannot have both.
No matter what you do, there is a price to pay, and it is rare to have the best of both worlds.
Joran is not as good as him in this respect.
Joram didn't understand this, he wanted too much.
I bet on him back then.
Between revenge and me, he chose revenge. I am willing to bet and admit defeat, and I have nothing to say. But it really shouldn't be right for him to come back to me after he's done everything.
I am his price, since he has already paid for me, there is absolutely no reason why he should come back.
There is never a second chance in life.
Pei Jiyu won't stay where he is and wait for him, and I don't have time to wait for anyone anymore.
After drinking some strong alcohol, he fell asleep on the sofa like that.
It was already dark when he woke up, and Qiao Yi left without knowing when, only two empty wine glasses were left on the table, and Qiao Lang was sitting there.
"You're awake, are you hungry?" he said.
"You made those dishes, right?" I asked him.
"You talked to Qiao Yi today."
"If you don't let me take a step out of Qiao's house, you can't even limit who I talk to. I'm not your doll, I'm just showing you."
"You know that's not what I mean, I just hope you accept me again." He said slowly, "Why do you always refuse to give me a chance."
I gave you a chance, but you said you don't want it, because you never gave me a chance.
I stood up, "Actually, I like to eat Western food now, and the dishes you cook are no longer in line with my appetite."
That's all I can say.
"I'll keep waiting," said Joram.
I looked at him quietly, but the boy who sat in the living room of my house a few years ago flashed in front of my eyes. He said he would wait for me.
So much time has passed in the blink of an eye.
"Qiao Lang, Pei Jiyu is stupid, but I won't believe the same thing a second time." After I finished speaking, I turned and left.
The next day, taking advantage of Qiao Lang's absence, I went to find Qiao Yi.
Qiao Yi came to open the door yawning, naked to the waist, wearing only a pair of trousers with the buttons still unbuttoned, and her eyes were sleepy.
I have to admit that this man is very interesting, no wonder Chen Erxin's cousin loves him so much.
With one hand on the door, he said to me, "I hope you didn't knock on the wrong door."
"I need your help with something," I said.
"If there is anything you should tell Joram, I think he will be very willing to help you." He was about to close the door and go back to sleep.
I hurriedly said, "I want you to help me leave Qiao's house!"
Qiao Yi closed the door and paused, he looked at me, "Why do you think I will offend Qiao Lang because of you?"
"Because he is your enemy, you will not refuse anything that is not good for him." I said.
He laughed heartily, "I'm not as stupid as you say, but I promise to help you because you're a very interesting person."
I breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to leave.
Ask Qiao Yi for help, but let him help me collude with Chen Erxin, let Chen Erxin go to Qiao's house again, bring a lawyer who is similar in size to me, and pretend to discuss divorce matters with Qiao Yi.
When leaving, the lawyer stayed and I left.
Putting on a heavy coat, pretending to have a cold, wearing a white mask, and wearing a big scarf, no one would recognize me as Pei Jiyu. What's more, no one in Qiao's family recognized Pei Jiyu.
It looks like a solid wall, but after escaping, it is nothing more than that.
"Thank you." I said to Chen Erxin, "The lawyer you brought will be fine, and Qiao Yi will take him away later."
"If you still have time to worry about others, if you run away like this, will Qiao Lang send someone to arrest you again?" Chen Erxin still had lingering fears.
He always thought that my family was down and out, poor and desolate, and I was no match for Qiao Lang.
I think it is necessary for me to correct his impression of me to him.
"Chen Erxin, I have something to make clear to you..."
Before he finished speaking, a car cut into the front of the road. Chen Erxin slammed on the brakes and looked at the car parked a few meters away. Both of them were startled.
Someone in front opened the car door and got out of the car, tall and handsome, was it Lu Qingfan or who? I don't know if he has been following us since we came out of Qiao's gate.
Chen Erxin turned his head and asked me, "What do you want to tell me?"
I pointed to Lu Qingfan and said to him, "That's the thing."
Lu Qingfan came and knocked on the car window, so I had no choice but to get out, and Chen Erxin got out of the car with me.
"It's only now that the hero comes to save the beauty, don't you think it's a bit late?" I said to Lu Qingfan.
"Father is seriously ill, and the Pei family's stock market has been unstable. At this time, I can't openly fall out with the Qiao family."
I couldn't refute, so I had to ask him, "Then what do you mean by stopping us now?"
"I want you to come back with me," he said.
"I just came out of the wolf's den, can you let me take a breath first, my old injury hasn't healed yet." I pointed to a bruise on my forehead, the swelling had subsided, but the pain was still there.
"Father's condition is very bad." Lu Qingfan only said this.
I froze, Lu Qingfan had already returned to his car.
"What's going on?" Chen Erxin hadn't reacted yet.
"That's the thing, my dad is seriously ill, can you send me back?" I said.
As soon as Chen Erxin and I got in the car, Lu Qingfan started the car and led the way, and Chen Erxin followed him.
On the way, Chen Erxin asked me, "Who was that person just now?"
"Lu Qingfan." I replied.
His expression suddenly changed, as if he had been struck by lightning from the beginning to the end, and his muscles were no longer under the control of his brain.
"That Lu Qingfan?" He couldn't help but confirm.
"It's that Lu Qingfan."
"He calls your father father!"
I turned my eyes to the sky, and I knew he had misunderstood something. Chen Erxin is good at everything, only this is not so good. I keep guessing in my stomach all day long, but I don't want to tell anyone.
I explained to him, "He is the adopted son of the Pei family, and he came to my house at the age of ten."
"You like your own brother!" Chen Erxin seemed to have learned the shocking secret, his eyes stared like two copper bells.
I thought liking the same sex was scary enough, so I didn't need to make a fuss over such trivial things.
"We're not half related," I said, "and that's a thing of the past."
All the things that have happened belong to the past long ago, whoever has to worry about whether it is really the past can just lie to himself.
When he arrived at Pei's mansion, Chen Erxin was angry again.
"Pei Jiyu, you've been lying to me all this time, is it interesting to play tricks on me?"
He also felt that I was pretending to be down and out to trick him into sympathy.
I don't know how to explain it. The story is too long and boring. I'm afraid he will think I'm lying to him again.
I said to him, "Don't be vexatious, I'll explain it to you later."
As a result, he walked away.
I saw him drive away angrily, and I just felt lost in my heart. At the end of the day, I still couldn't get back to being friends with him.
Lu Qingfan walked over, "The doctor said that my father's condition is very bad and he must be admitted to the hospital, but my father refused to accept the medicine or treatment."
Just like me, we deserve to be father and son. I can't help but think to myself.
"I'll go see him," I said.
