Chapter 51: Leaving the golden nest and returning to the grass nest
The next day, Pei Xiangwei told the Jin family at the dinner table that she wanted to go home and live for a while. Jin Dacheng didn't care and didn't say anything. Chen Min looked at Jin Mingyu and showed a motherly smile: "Xiang Wei, do you want to go home and live because of that?"
Is one of us not good enough for you?"
Everyone raised their heads when they heard her words, and all their eyes fell on her. Chen Min looked around the circle of people, pretending to be eating with his head down very naturally.
Pei Xiangwei knew who she was referring to. She glanced at Jin Mingyu and smiled softly: "No, Aunt Chen, you are overthinking. Everyone is very good to me. My mother is sick and is hospitalized. It's closer to the hospital over there."
Jin Kaijun took two bites of food into his mouth, put down his spoon, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth gracefully. His eyes on Pei Xiangwei were gentle and affectionate: "Mingyu wants to go too?"
He asked very naturally, and other people's expressions immediately became uncomfortable. Jin Dacheng did not say anything and still read the newspaper with interest. Chen Min was different. Her eyes glanced at everyone and echoed Jin Kaijun's words: "Yes.
, Mingyu, Xiang Wei’s mother, but your mother-in-law, you have to take care of her.”
Looking at the mother and son, they wished they could salute Pei Xiangwei and drive them out of the Jin family gate. Jin Mingyu didn't know? He put down the spoon, turned to look at Pei Xiangwei's face, put his arm around Pei Xiangwei's shoulders, and smiled at Jin Kaijun:
"I also wanted to go with her, but Xiaowei was considerate that I was busy with company matters and wouldn't let me go."
After hearing this, Jin Kaijun's whole face turned green. The hand holding the chopsticks had clear joints and said sarcastically: "I can't see that the way you love each other is to live in two separate places."
"Brother, what do you want to say?" A cloud suddenly appeared on his handsome face, as if it could drip water. Jin Mingyu glared at Jin Kaijun sitting opposite him. He really wanted to punch Jin Kaijun and twist his nose.
There were clouds on the dining table again. As the eldest brother of the Jin family, Jin Dacheng finally put down the newspaper, drank milk and ate breakfast. He looked at Pei Xiangwei kindly and asked: "As far as I know, the bluestone alley where you live has a large population and a mixture of fish and dragons.
You’re really uneasy when you’re alone.”
When Jin Dacheng asked in a hurry, he just stopped Jin Mingyu and Jin Kaijun who were about to get into trouble the next second. Pei Xiangwei was particularly grateful, and his eyes immediately showed admiration: "Uncle Jin, it's okay. Since my mother was admitted to the hospital,
, I’m used to living alone, you don’t have to worry about me.”
Jin Mingyu looked at Jin Kaijun unhappily and twitched his lips: "Dad, I will visit my wife when I have time. Don't worry she will be fine."
Pei Xiangwei went to pack up for the ceremony, which was just a few clothes. She stood outside the gate of Jin's house and breathed a sigh of relief. She could finally be quiet for a few days and no longer had to watch the disguise drama every day.
"I'll take you back to Qingshi Alley." Jin Mingyu opened the door of the BMW and signaled Pei Xiangwei to get in. He wanted to get familiar with the way to Qingshi Alley once, so that he could go there more often in the future. There were also some secret things that he could avoid there.
Looking at Jin Mingyu holding a blue folder in his hand, Pei Xiangwei shook his head and smiled gently: "No need, your matters are more important."
Her words caused Jin Mingyu's heart to heat up, spreading to every corner of his body. He looked deeply into her bright eyes and said softly: "It doesn't matter if I take care of my affairs later."
"What are you talking about?" Pei Xiangwei picked up the gift box and said steadily: "I finally got the opportunity, how can I do it if I don't do it carefully? I can go home by myself." After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.
Jin Mingyu, who was standing next to the BMW, was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. The corners of his mouth were not easily curved into a beautiful moon. She was always thinking about him, so how could he be willing to let her down?
Jin Mingyu drove up to catch up with Pei Xiangwei, rolled down the window and shouted at her: "I'm going to see you after get off work. When you get back, stay with me."
"Come on!" Pei Xiangwei waved to him and smiled: "If you don't leave, the time you agreed on is coming!" She overheard that Jin Mingyu was going to discuss with Su Guojian's company, and Jin Mingyu told her that Su Guojian was willing to
She handed over the playground to Shihua Group for development and saw him dancing like a child. She was really happy for him! It seems that he is going to sign a contract today. I believe he will succeed!
Pei Xiangwei stood at the intersection and waved to hail a taxi. A black Mercedes-Benz stopped in front of her. A smiling Jin Kaijun stuck his head out of the car and asked her: "Didn't Mingyu see you off?"
"He left before he was in an emergency." Pei Xiangwei and Jin Kaijun had no hatred at all. She tried her best to make up for the damage caused to him.
"I'll take you back." Jin Kaijun got out of the car and took the gift box from Pei Xiangwei's hand. Pei Xiangwei was embarrassed to let him give it away. Jin Kaijun showed a tender look and said calmly: "We are not so different from each other. We can't be husband and wife."
, friends finally?"
"I didn't mean that." Pei Xiangwei had to let go of her hand, lowered her head and did not dare to look at him, and asked softly: "If you send me off, you will be late for work."
"Do you care about me?" Jin Kaijun stuffed her greeting into the trunk, heard her whispering softly in his ears, and the warm air blew into his heart, and asked nervously: "Did I hear you right? Xiang Wei, you too
Will you care about me?"
Pei Xiangwei did not expect that what she said casually would make Jin Kaijun so excited. He stood blankly on the side of the road, not knowing how to answer. He sat silently in the back seat and whispered, "Aren't we a family?"
As if being woken up by a basin of cold water, the smile disappeared little by little on Jin Kaijun's face. He raised his head and looked at Pei Xiangwei in the car mirror, who was bowing his head and saying nothing, and said meaningfully: "Yes, we are a family!"
Jin Kaijun walked Pei Xiangwei to the entrance of the alley and left. He stepped on the familiar bluestone and made a crisp sound. He wanted to step back into his home where he had stayed for many years.
People living in the Qingshi alley ran out of their homes when they heard the sound of the car. When they saw Pei Xiangwei returning with a salute, they asked enthusiastically: "Xiang Wei, why are you back?"
A woman with a loud mouth quickly said: "I'm done enjoying the good life, come back and live in poverty for a few days."
Upon hearing these unkind words, her beautiful face immediately cooled down a few degrees. She stared coldly at the big-mouthed woman and said: "Aunt, it's been a long time since I saw you, but you are still as imaginative as ever."
"Hey, Xiang Wei, your mouth has become more powerful. Auntie cares about you." The big-mouthed woman rolled her eyes, sat at the door of her house, chewed the big cake, and spat it out in the direction of Pei Xiangwei.
The woman from before liked to smooth things over, so she walked over with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you are a smart person. Your family's life is not bad. The money your men earn is not enough for you to enjoy. Why bother talking about Xiang Wei?
Xiang Wei, don't get angry with your aunt, we are all neighbors, and you still don't know her temper?"
Pei Xiangwei looked at the peacemaker in front of her in a funny way. She didn't have the time to watch their various behaviors. Normally, everyone would smile when they met, and they would make a knife behind their backs. They didn't want to offend their kindness, and they wouldn't make excuses.
"I'm going home first. My aunts will come to visit me if they have nothing to do."
Pei Xiangwei smiled indifferently, bowed and walked into the heavy iron door. She took out the key and opened the door.
