"I'm so angry with you!"
"Are you still vomiting?"
Pei Chi glared at him, got up and walked out, but Cheng Bai's faint voice came from behind him, "I have prepared a carriage for you. You go back in the carriage to avoid being seen."
Pei Chi paused slightly, but finally said nothing and walked away with a frown.
Cheng Bai stood there and looked at the mess on the ground. He slowly frowned and asked the waiter to change his box.
He was scolding Pei Chi before, but now he was sitting quietly on the couch, drinking even harder than Pei Chi. Every reaction from Pei Chi made his heart ache.
…
Pei Chi almost escaped from the restaurant in embarrassment. He bravely got on Cheng Bai's carriage. He kept arranging his clothes along the way, for fear that something was wrong when he went back.
But after doing this, he couldn't help but stop.
He stared at the air in a daze for a while, then suddenly became discouraged. What was he panicking about... Cheng Bai's abnormality was Cheng Bai's own business, so there was nothing to be afraid of if he was fine by himself.
When he returned to Pei's house, it was already quite late. Pei Chi knew that he had drunk too much and would not go to see his parents smelling of alcohol, so he thought of waiting until he woke up tomorrow.
However, as soon as he stepped into the house, Mrs. Pei came over from the courtyard. Pei was late because he was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he patted his face to wake himself up and had to walk over. "Mom, why don't you go to bed?"
"Mom went to your courtyard. Seeing that you were not there, she thought you had gone out."
"I... went out for a walk."
"Have you had a drink?" Mrs. Pei looked at him and frowned slowly.
"I just drank a little, mother, don't worry."
"Chi'er..." Mrs. Pei shook her head and said, "If King Cheng hadn't been merciful this time and Cheng Bai had stepped in to help, we don't know what the Pei family would have ended up with. Your father said that you... still refuse to do so. Forgive Cheng Bai. Chi'er, if you had any grievances with Cheng Bai in the past, my mother had nothing to do with it, but now he is the savior of our Pei family after all. If you still treat him like that, aren't you trying to make the Pei family ungrateful? ?”
When Pei Chi heard these words, his face slowly turned ugly.
When he was in prison, he was used to hearing his father's nagging, and he was not timid, but what he was most afraid of was that his mother would be uncomfortable. What's more, when he came back this time, Pei Yu also told him that his mother had given birth because she was worried about him. It was a serious illness, and it took the past two days for his body to slowly get better... But he didn't want his mother to be angry because of him again...
Therefore, in front of Mrs. Pei, Pei Chi was not as bold as when he faced his father. He thought that no matter how angry he was, he had to endure it and said, "I understand, mother."
"Do you really know?" Mrs. Pei looked at him, waiting for him to give a definite answer.
"Really, really." Pei Chi still felt a headache. He thought he had to go back to the hospital and take a nap as soon as possible.
However, Mrs. Pei took it seriously. After hearing what he said, she felt relieved and said, "Then you go to Cheng Mansion tomorrow and invite him to your house. Mother can prepare some entertainment for others."
When Pei Chi heard this, his headache suddenly worsened, "Mom, there's no need..."
He also needs to go to Cheng Mansion to invite him in person... How is this possible!
"You also said you knew. Mom thinks you are just perfunctory with me..." As Mrs. Pei said, the cold wind blew over and she started coughing again.
Seeing this, Pei Chi didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Pei. He helped her and gently stroked her back, "I'll just go and invite him. Mother, you'll be well. Don't be angry."
If he didn't know that his mother couldn't bear the blow now, he really wanted to tell her that Cheng Bai was not a good person, let alone as perfect as she thought.
But obviously no one in the entire Pei family is willing to stand on his side.
…
The next day, Pei Chi went out in a very complicated mood.
He wandered around the market, passing the time until it was almost time for Cheng Bai to go to Dali Temple, and then he got on the carriage and went to Cheng's mansion.
He thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.
That is, he waited until Cheng Bai was not at home before going to the Cheng Mansion to find someone. In this way, even if he could not see anyone, he could still complete the task that his mother asked him to come to deliver the message. In this way, he would not only avoid talking to Cheng Bai Meeting each other and being able to deal with my mother was perfect.
But there is always a gap between what is imagined and reality.
At that time, Pei arrived at the Cheng Mansion late and got off the carriage. Taking advantage of the fact that Cheng Bai could not be at home at that hour, he walked outside the door very relaxedly and politely asked the guard at the door, "You Cheng Bai?" Sir, are you at home? I have something to ask him."
Pei Chi was mentally prepared, thinking that after the guard apologized to him and said that Cheng Bai was not here, he would immediately say "it's okay" and then turn around and go home without looking back, never to set foot here again.
But when the guard saw it was Pei Chi, he couldn't help but froze. He nodded for a moment and said, "Master Pei, please allow me to go in and report."
Pei Chi: "..."
Before he could react, the guard opened the door and walked in.
Cheng Bai hadn't had a hangover for a long time, so when he came back drunk last night, he sent someone to the palace early in the morning to ask for leave for him.
But Cheng Bai was used to getting up early after all. After getting up groggily and drinking the sobering soup, he stayed in the study to deal with government affairs.
When his subordinate knocked on the door and said he had something important to report, Cheng Bai was still in a bad mood. While reviewing the documents, he asked the person outside the door calmly: "Is it urgent?"
The subordinate hesitated and replied: "Probably."
Cheng Bai then let people in impatiently.
After the subordinate opened the door and came in, he came to Cheng Bai and reported directly: "Sir, Mr. Pei is here. He said he has something to ask you. He is waiting outside the door now. Do you want him to come in?"
Cheng Bai moved for a moment, then asked quietly: "Which Mr. Pei?"
"That's Mr. Pei Chi Pei."
Cheng Bai's brush dipped in ink trembled slightly. After a moment, he calmed down, put down the pen in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "Let him in."
"Yes..." The subordinate was about to go out, but just as he turned around, he heard Cheng Bai calling him again, "Wait a minute."
Cheng Bai frowned and stood up, "Forget it, I'll go out and take a look."
The subordinate didn't quite understand the difference, but he nodded and followed Cheng Bai out.
Before walking out of the house, Cheng Bai still felt that his subordinates were joking. It was impossible for that guy to come to him in person.
But even though he was so sure in his heart, Cheng Bai couldn't help but want to go out and find out.
