This scene is very familiar to Pei Wu. It seems to have happened before, something similar...
At that time, Xia Xia and the third brother had just gotten married, and he also picked up her in despair on the road. At that time, she and the third brother had not yet begun to develop a relationship; but now, as soon as he saw the third brother, he fell in love with her.
The second wife looks as tall as the sky, nothing like Mr. Jiang who used to have women around him. Why is Xia Xia still so frustrated?
"Shengxia, wait!" Pei Wu shouted and stepped up to catch up.
Shengxia heard a familiar voice, paused, turned her head, and saw Ah Sheng, her friend, a friend she hadn't seen for a long time.
Pei Wu came closer, and Shengxia barely managed a smile, "A Sheng, long time no see!"
Pei Wu smiled heartily, "Yes, you have been hidden at home by the jealous third brother, and he is not willing to take you out. I can't see you even if I want to!"
Did Pei Wuxin's words sound bitter and jealous to Shengxia's ears? She didn't think so. Maybe it had in the past, but at least it wasn't anymore.
Pei Wu frowned and looked at Shengxia, who lowered her head slightly. He could only say that she was not very good at hiding her worries, so although he didn't know what was bothering her, he could tell that there was something on her mind.
Could it be that there is something on Xia Xia's mind that the third brother doesn't know at all?
"Xia Xia, do you have time? Where can we sit and have a drink?"
After all, it had been a long time since she had seen Asheng. Shengxia was embarrassed to refuse his kindness, and it was always good to have someone to accompany her, so that she would not have to think too much.
Shengxia nodded and got into Pei Wu's car. Pei Wu took her to a very atmospheric cafe.
Shengxia wanted to order coffee, but Pei Wu made the decision for Shengxia and ordered matcha milk.
"I heard from Third Brother that you have been trying to have a baby. Since you are planning to have a baby, don't drink coffee!" Pei Wu explained to Shengxia why he wouldn't let her order coffee.
Sheng Xia looked at Pei Wu, and suddenly a soreness rushed straight into her nose, making her want to cry.
At this moment, the waiter brought up the matcha milk and black coffee that the two of them had ordered. Shengxia held the sides of the cup with both hands and was silent for a long time before saying quietly: "A Sheng, Zhuo Yan and I may not be able to drink coffee."
There are children…”
Pei Wu was stunned for a moment, "Xia Xia, what do you mean you may not have a child? Are you sick or is the third brother sick? Does the third brother know about this?"
Pei Wu remembered that the third brother asked everyone to come out for a drink last night. Could it be that he wanted to drink away his sorrows like him?
"No..." Shengxia sullenly shook her head.
Pei Wu was a little anxious, "Then what happened?"
Shengxia didn't know whether it was good or not to tell Ah Sheng about these things. After all, Ah Sheng was Jiang Sanshao's brother, but it seemed that except for Ah Sheng, she had no one else who could share the anguish she was holding in her heart.
!
"It's because Zhuo Yan has another woman..." Sheng Xia gritted her teeth and spoke out in the eyes of Pei Wu who was chasing after him and wouldn't give up until he got the answer.
She believed Ah Sheng. Maybe, if Ah Sheng also knew about what happened between Jiang Sanshao and Sun Manmiao, at least he would not help Jiang Sanshao hide it from her.
"What?" Pei Wu raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Impossible!"
He knew his third brother quite well. After all, they were the closest to each other in the Fifth Young Master. The third brother had taken him to pick up girls since he was a child. If there was really a woman other than Shengxia around the third brother, he would probably know it.
discovered.
The third brother was a bohemian before he found the woman he regarded as the most important. But once he determined what he wanted, he would be no different from the eldest brother. Therefore, in the eyes of the third brother, the current Xia Xia
, is equivalent to Sister Yan in the eyes of big brother.
Shengxia smiled bitterly. It seemed that Asheng still believed in his brother, but if everything wasn't so obvious, she also wanted to believe in Third Young Master Jiang.
"Xia Xia, you said that third brother has another woman. How did you find out? Or do you already know who that woman is?" Pei Wu asked tentatively.
Shengxia nodded, "She is Zhuo Yan's current partner, Sun Manmiao."
"Sun Manmiao from Hengchang Construction?" Pei Wu frowned. He had heard his third brother mention her during the weekly meeting, so he was not unfamiliar with this woman.
It’s just that the third brother will eat grass from the side of the nest? It still doesn’t sound like the third brother’s character.
Looking at the women around the third brother in the past, they were either young models or female celebrities. The third brother has always been indifferent to career-oriented women, such as the fourth brother's Gu Ai.
Shengxia didn't know what Asheng was thinking about, so she continued quietly: "I received a phone call that I dialed by mistake when they were together. The person on the phone was..." She choked up and couldn't go on, so she relaxed.
After a while, he said, "There is also the smell of Sun Manmiao's perfume on him. He took me to drink porridge at Fuquelou, but he had already taken Sun Manmiao there beforehand... I don't even know now that he didn't come home last night.
Are you also with Sun Manmiao?"
Is there so much going on?
"Xia Xia, please don't misunderstand Third Brother. He was with the four of us last night and drank all night. If you don't believe me, you can call any one of Eldest Brother, Second Brother or Fourth Brother to confirm!"
"No need! I believe you!" Shengxia shook her head. She couldn't have called her brothers to confirm just because Mr. Jiang didn't come home last night.
"Xia Xia, since you believe me, how about you leave this matter to me and I will help you investigate it?" Pei Wu looked at the woman in front of him, whom he should call Sansao, as if she was the same as when they first met.
Just like when they met, she was teased by her third brother, and he felt pity for her inexplicably, unable to see her red eyes, weak and stubborn look.
In fact, his feelings for Xia Xia were not called warmth. Even the protective impulse at that time was not called love, because his feelings for Xia Xia were completely different from his feelings for Han Ning.
Pei Wu can sort out very clearly that he loves Shen Hanning, and his feelings for Xia Xia may really just be out of a man's desire to protect women!
"A Sheng, how will you check? Will you ask Zhuo Xuan directly?"
Pei Wu clearly grasped the key point of Shengxia's words, "Xiaxia, you don't want to tell the third brother now, do you?"
I believe that if Xia Xia really wanted to have a showdown with the third brother, then she would not be like now, with all the random thoughts in her head, but she would not dare to confront the third brother.
Shengxia was a little flustered, but still nodded, "If the result is divorce, I don't know how I should accept it. Maybe, if I pretend not to know, I can still maintain this marriage... Ah Sheng, I
Isn't it very sad?" At the end, Shengxia asked quietly.
Pei Wu shook his head gently, "Xia Xia, if you love Third Brother, you should believe him. Since you don't want to talk to Third Brother now, then just wait for my news. I promise you, I won’t show any partiality towards Third Brother!”
Seeing Pei Wu raise three fingers and make an oath, Shengxia couldn't help but laugh. This was the first time in these days that she showed a sincere smile, not a perfunctory smile.
"Thank you, Asheng!"
"Thank you for what, aren't we friends?"
After drinking coffee, Pei Wu sent Shengxia back and then drove back to the company.
On the way, he called his subordinates and asked them to check on the woman named Sun Manmiao. Xia Xia said that the third brother had another woman behind her back, and with the clues Xia Xia said, Pei Wu always found out. It feels very strange, as if Xia Xia's evidence of feeling that Third Brother* was revealed to her from someone.
Perhaps, is this a deliberate arrangement?
Just as I put down the phone call to my subordinates, there was a call from Qinglian Villa.
"What's the matter?" Pei Wu picked up.
"Master, Miss Shen said that she wanted to leave. She also said that you would no longer lock her up and would let her leave. We would like to ask the master what should we do?"
"What, you've already let her go?" Pei Wudeng raised his voice.
"No, we didn't receive instructions from the young master and we didn't dare to let Miss Shen leave!"
"Yeah!" Pei Wu felt that when he heard these words from his men, his heart that had been hanging for a moment finally fell.
He really thought that he was going to go all over the world again to find this woman who wanted to hide from him. After experiencing it once, he felt that it was enough. He really didn't want to experience it a second time.
"Don't let her leave. If she asks again, you can continue to talk. You can't let her leave without hearing my instructions!"
Pei Wu cut off the call, threw the phone on the passenger seat, and let out a long sigh.
He couldn't keep hiding and not showing up at Qinglian Villa just because he didn't want to let Han Ning go. That would definitely be shooting himself in the foot, because he would be tortured to death by missing her.
However, the heavy stone in Han Ning's heart was not something he could remove in a moment, but at least, he now knew the reason why Han Ning insisted on escaping from him, which could be regarded as something gained!
Pei Wu drove the car into the underground parking lot, turned off the engine, and was about to get out of the car when his cell phone rang again.
Pei Wu took it over and saw that it was his mother.
He just connected, and Yao Yan's voice was already chirping like an anxious bird, "Son, how long are you going to hide my daughter-in-law? Your father said he wants to see her, you can figure it out yourself. !”
Pei Wufen clearly heard a trace of schadenfreude from his mother's tone. He held the phone to his ear with one hand and rubbed his brow with the other hand, "Mom, who is your daughter-in-law? Don't scream!"
"Oh, that's either my daughter-in-law, or that Jiaobai and Shengsheng hidden in your golden house. Don't worry, if your father bullies your Gillian, my mother will definitely stand by you and help you!"
Pei Wu suddenly had a black streak in his head. If his mother didn't cause any trouble for him, he should go to worship Buddha...
"Mom, I remember you haven't studied history, and you still know who the Gillian is in the Golden House!" After Pei Wu finished speaking, he hung up immediately before Yao Yan dropped the phone to avoid poisoning his ears. !
