Qin Zhen obviously couldn't make a decision all at once, so he could only keep drinking.
Seeing this, Chen Feng did not dissuade him. At most, Chen Feng could only give him relatively pertinent advice on this kind of matter, but could not make decisions for him.
After Qin Zhen finally drank himself down, Chen Feng went to pay the bill and took him back in a taxi.
After sending him home, he took out the key from him and opened the door, only to see Pei Lei sitting on the sofa watching TV in the living room.
She was shocked when she saw Chen Feng coming back with a drunk Qin Zhen. She quickly came over and asked with concern: "Why is he drunk? Did he vomit?"
"I've already vomited once. I might have to vomit again later, just keep an eye on it."
Chen Feng said casually, and then continued to carry Qin Zhen to the bedroom and laid him down on the bed. Pei Lei stepped forward and took off his clothes and shoes, and then covered him with a blanket.
It was already June by this time, and the temperature had already warmed up a bit.
"Brother Feng, what's going on? Why is he drunk? Is he worried about something? I called him after get off work this afternoon, and I heard his voice was weak. Did something happen to him at work?"
Seeing Pei Lei's concerned look, Chen Feng thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the living room to talk."
With a confused expression, Pei Lei followed Chen Feng out of the bedroom, then gently closed the door and came to the living room.
Chen Feng didn't sit down on the sofa, he just stood in the living room and turned around to look at her.
On the surface, it is impossible to tell that Pei Lei is a patient with depression. On the contrary, the impression is that Pei Lei is relatively outgoing, optimistic and cheerful.
Seeing Chen Feng's serious look, Pei Lei couldn't help but become slightly nervous, and took the initiative to ask again: "Tell me what happened?"
Chen Feng had already decided to tell her the truth, so he did not deliberately hide the truth and said directly: "He already knows about your biological mother and your depression."
When Pei Lei heard this, her face changed drastically and turned pale. After a while, she asked in a trembling voice: "He...he really knows everything?"
"Yes." Chen Feng nodded, sighed and said, "This is also a bit blaming me. Previously, A Zhen wanted to get engaged with you and asked my opinion. I said that according to the traditional customs in our hometown, before getting engaged,
I wanted to get married and inquire about the details of your family, mainly the family situation and the reputation in the local area. After my repeated persuasion, he went to investigate and then found out everything. This is true.
You can't blame him, you can only blame me, it's because I have a lot of troubles."
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Pei Lei obviously didn't mean to blame him. Instead, she shook her head gently and said with a wry smile: "I actually wanted to tell him the truth several times, but I didn't have the courage to speak several times because I was afraid.
After he knows the true situation between my biological mother and me, he will dislike me and don't want me anymore. I really like him, I just want to spend as much time with him as possible, even if it's just a few more months.
The weather is also fine. I didn’t know he was going to get engaged to me. If I had known earlier, I would definitely not hide it from him anymore.”
When Chen Feng saw her statement, he felt a little appreciative in his heart. It could be seen that her words were sincere. She did not mean to conceal Qin Zhen's matter, but just like what she said, she was afraid that if she said it,
Qin Zhen doesn't want her anymore.
Besides, she also knew Qin Zhen's occupation very well, and the affairs between her and her biological mother could not be kept secret for too long.
"Then what are your plans now?" Chen Feng asked.
"I...I don't know." Pei Lei lowered her head guiltily, and then glanced at the bedroom reluctantly.
Chen Feng asked directly, somewhat rudely: "Do you know that your mother's mental illness can be hereditary?"
"I...I..." Pei Lei couldn't help but her eyes were red, she lowered her head and covered her eyes and sobbed softly.
"It seems that you must know. You suffered from depression before and were hospitalized for more than a month. It can be said to be a mental illness. I don't know if your illness is hereditary, but there is no doubt that.
If you and Ah Zhen get married and have children in the future, your next generation may inherit mental illness. Although I don’t want to say it, from the perspective of his friend, I really don’t want him to spend his life with a woman with hidden dangers like you.
.”
This is Chen Feng's sincere words. He can ignore other people, but Qin Zhen is his best friend and brother. When something like this happens, even if he doesn't want to, he can't ignore it. Not to mention making decisions for Qin Zhen, but
Always provide appropriate guidance.
Pei Lei just lowered her head and sobbed without refuting his words.
"So... if I ask you to leave him, can you do it?" Chen Feng finally said this.
"I...I...wuwu...I can't do it..." Pei Lei burst into tears, "I'm sorry, I really like him and I can't leave him."
After crying, she squatted directly on the ground, covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.
Chen Feng was a little helpless when he saw this. His original intention was not to really let her leave Qin Zhen, but to test her. If she said she could leave without much nostalgia, then she is really not suitable to be Qin Zhen's lifelong partner.
But now she is crying like this and is reluctant to break up with Qin Zhen, which is somewhat in line with Chen Feng's expectations. This shows that she is really sincere towards Qin Zhen and really likes him.
Chen Feng knew Qin Zhen's urinary nature, and he would take soft things rather than hard ones. If someone like Pei Lei was helpless and weak, it would stimulate his desire for male protection and his sense of responsibility.
It seemed that if Pei Lei cried and begged to him like this, Qin Zhen would most likely soften his heart and not break up with her. He would even get engaged or even get married to her.
In her heart, Chen Feng really didn't want him to choose such a woman as his lifelong partner. Not to mention the genetic mental illness in her family, even without this layer, she herself was still a patient with depression. She was even hospitalized because of it. Who knows the future?
One day her disease will relapse or even become serious, leading to unpredictable consequences.
These are all very real issues. From a friend's perspective, Chen Feng certainly doesn't like him choosing such a woman to be his wife.
But Chen Feng is not Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen has his own considerations, and many emotional matters cannot be measured rationally. In the end, Qin Zhen can only make his own decision.
"Okay, don't cry. If you really like him and love him, you can tell him clearly after he wakes up. I only know that he cares about you, so you should take good care of it. The rest of the things, I will
It's hard for outsiders to say anything. I just hope that you won't hide anything from him in the future.
I can feel that the reason why Ah Zhen is depressed this time, apart from knowing about you and your mother, is mainly because you deliberately concealed these things from him. Some privacy between lovers can be kept secret, but things like yours
Obviously it is not within the scope of confidentiality. So, when he wakes up, apologize to him and tell him clearly any other things you have to hide.
That's it. I'll leave first, and you can take good care of Ah Zhen."
After saying these words, Chen Feng turned around and left without comforting Pei Lei, who was still squatting on the ground covering her face and crying.
After returning home to Hongshu Bay, Chen Feng didn't say anything about Pei Lei to Sun and Wu. This kind of thing was her privacy, and of course she couldn't talk about it casually.
In the following days, Chen Feng's life returned to calm.
It was not until noon that day when Wu Mengting came back for lunch and suddenly asked him if the financial manager of his company was going to be replaced that Chen Feng remembered that Liu Ying had been on sick leave for a long time.
Ever since Liu Ying was mercilessly warned and reprimanded by him, she took sick leave and then stopped working at Fengmang Film and Television. Her position of financial manager has been vacant with no one to fill her position.
"Did you call her?"
Chen Feng looked at Wu Mengting and asked.
Wu Mengting said: "Yesterday, I called her and asked her when she would go to work. She said she was still feeling a little unwell and would wait for a few days. I asked her the specific days, but she said she didn't know and would have to wait until then.
Isn't this intentional? Brother, what do you think we should do?"
Chen Feng asked inexplicably: "You mean to withdraw her directly?"
Wu Mengting said slightly cautiously: "The main reason is that she deliberately delayed coming to the company to work. Doesn't this delay our company's work? And to be honest, her financial professional ability is also very average."
"What's Lu Sijia's opinion?" Chen Feng asked.
Wu Mengting replied: "She has no opinion, if you let you make a decision."
Chen Feng looked at Sun Xiaorui and asked, "Xiaorui, what do you mean?"
Sun Xiaorui shook his head and said, "I don't have any opinion, I just listen to you."
After Chen Feng thought for a while, he said to Wu Mengting: "Then you call her again today and tell her to come to work tomorrow. If she doesn't come, the company will fire her from her job."
Wu Mengting looked businesslike and nodded immediately: "Okay. I'll call her after dinner."
After the three of them finished eating, Wu Mengting called Liu Ying immediately and conveyed what Chen Feng had just said in a businesslike tone.
Liu Ying on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. When she wanted to say something, Wu Mengting had already hung up the phone.
In fact, she has been waiting for Chen Feng's reaction these days, eager for Chen Feng to take the initiative to contact her, but after such a long time, Chen Feng was so hard-hearted that he never contacted her.
This made her feel like she was more sad than dead, but she really didn't want to give up. Fortunately, the company's financial manager position was still there, so Chen Feng should still have her in his heart, and she kept comforting herself in her heart.
But today I still waited for the ultimatum conveyed by Wu Mengting.
'Are you really that cold-blooded?'
Putting down her phone, Liu Ying felt pain in her heart.
When she divorced her ex-husband, she had never been so sad and helpless, but she felt it now.
She had been staying in the villa Chen Feng had given her for the first few days without going out. It wasn't until there was no food in the villa that she packed up some clothes and belongings and went home for two days.
But she was afraid that her parents would see any flaws, especially when her parents kept asking her to invite Chen Feng to their house for dinner, which made her shirk several times. In the end, she had no choice but to leave home and stay in a hotel.
She has checked into several hotels these days, and she only stays in each hotel for a day or two. During the day, she either wanders around the city, or stays in the hotel all day playing with her mobile phone and watching TV.
But she never forgot Chen Feng in her mind. She was always thinking about him and missing him. She almost couldn't hold back from sending him messages or calling him several times, but she finally held back.
She didn't know if this was love, but there was no doubt that Chen Feng had left a mark on her heart. She wanted to forget him, but it was difficult to do so for a while.
Now Wu Mengting relayed Chen Feng's ultimatum. She really wanted to refuse to go back to work, or even say goodbye to Chen Feng directly and break up with him, but she just couldn't make this determination and didn't have the courage.
So, after struggling in her heart all afternoon, she finally compromised with herself. She checked out of the hotel where she was staying and drove back to the villa in Hongshu Bay, the luxurious villa that Chen Feng gave her.
There is no doubt that this villa is like a cage, trapping her people and locking her heart. Even if it only allows her to stay temporarily, it makes it difficult for her to truly give up.
That night she carefully cleaned the villa from top to bottom. She was so tired that she was sweating profusely. Then she went to take a bath and lay comfortably on the bed that was very familiar to her.
He fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, she cheered up and came to Fengmang Film and Television on time as if nothing had happened and started working again.
Wu Mengting was a little disappointed when she saw that she actually returned to work. She thought that after what she said on the phone yesterday, she would not come back again, but the result was the opposite.
She couldn't help but sneer twice in her heart: Haha, woman!
At the same time, Pei Lei had a good talk with Qin Zhen who was sober that day. Pei Lei also apologized to Qin Zhen as Chen Feng said, and then cried again.
Qin Zhen also accepted her apology, but in the end he said that the two should separate for a while and then look at their relationship after they calm down.
Although Pei Lei was very reluctant, she could only agree with tears in the end.
Several days passed, and Qin Zhen didn't contact her again. Pei Lei cried all day long, her depression relapsed, and of course she couldn't go to work.
So that day, Li Liqin, Pei Lei's master and superior, called Chen Feng and told him about Pei Lei's situation. He also asked Qin Zhenxing to accuse him, saying that he wanted Qin Zhen to go over and comfort Pei Lei.
, otherwise she would go directly to the police station to make a fuss.
Chen Feng hasn't contacted Qin Zhen in the past few days. He really didn't know that he and Pei Lei were temporarily separated. This was a bit beyond Chen Feng's expectation. He thought that Qin Zhen would still accept Pei Lei after she cried.
After talking to Li Liqin on the phone, of course Chen Feng immediately called Qin Zhen and told him the matter.
After Qin Zhen heard what Chen Feng said, he just said, "I'll go find her now" and then hung up the phone. Chen Feng was stunned for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile.
Needless to say, Qin Zhen's reaction was that he couldn't let go of this woman Pei Lei.
So, in the end, he chose to accept Pei Lei.
Things were just as Chen Feng thought. The next day, Qin Zhen invited him to his home for dinner, saying that Pei Lei cooked the food herself to thank him.
Qin Zhen also made it clear to Chen Feng on the phone that he planned to accept everything about Pei Lei, including her imperfections and her depression.
