Some memories are not good but I remember them so deeply
Pei Qiyou stood there, Bai Xiao walked past him, her scent lingering in the air.
The fragrance of daisies is faint, mixed with a little bitterness of coffee.
Pei Anan looked at Bai Xiao without looking back until he walked out of the coffee shop. He was a little disappointed but unwilling to accept it, and couldn't help but complain about Pei Qiyou.
"Why so slow?" She just secretly sent him a text message while Bai Xiao was not paying attention, just to bring him and Bai Xiao together.
Pei Qiyou pulled out the chair, sat down where Bai Xiao had been, and leaned back on the chair. There was a cup of coffee on the table that he had taken a few sips of.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the RMB note.
Pei Anan bit her lip: "Brother, are you really planning to get engaged to that Yu Yiwei? What about Bai Xiao? What will she do in the future?"
Pei Qiyou turned his head and looked at the road outside, squinting slightly, unable to tell what he was thinking.
——————————
Bai Xiao left the coffee shop and on her way to the bus stop, she received a call from Yu Shaoting: "Are you home?"
She put down the two heavy bags and shook her arms: "No, I'm waiting for the bus. Are you off work?"
"It will take a while."
Holding the phone, Bai Xiao didn't answer the call, and the other end was silent.
They listened to each other's breathing quietly, but they didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.
Bai Xiao saw a bus approaching from a distance: "The bus is here, I won't tell you anymore."
"Be careful on the road."
Listening to his magnetic baritone, Bai Xiao was in a good mood and glanced at the suit in the paper bag: "I'll give you a surprise when I get home!"
"What?"
"No more, bye." Bai Xiao hurriedly hung up the phone without giving him a chance to ask further questions.
Looking at the brand new suit and shirt, the sore hands seemed to disappear immediately. She picked up her things again and ran towards the bus stop to catch the bus.
Maybe it was the rush hour after get off work, and it was located in the bustling business district of Fengcheng, so I couldn't get on the bus even after two trips.
Bai Xiao looked at the crowd blocking the bus entrance, looked at the things in his hands, and stayed away.
Even the taxis passing by were carrying passengers.
Bai Xiao looked at her phone. It was already past five o'clock. Thinking that she still had to cook, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Just as she was considering whether to take the bus in the opposite direction, get off a few stops ahead and then take the bus back, a Lexus stopped next to her.
Pei Anan's face appeared on the side of the half-lowered car window: "Where are you going? We will take you off."
Bai Xiao glanced at the car and saw Pei Qiyou in the driver's seat. She shook her head: "No, I'll just wait for the car."
"How can we wait for a car at this time?" Pei An'an got out of the car and enthusiastically helped Bai Xiao carry her things: "Get in the car!"
Pei Qiyou held the steering wheel with both hands and stared ahead. There was not much expression on his face, but it looked like Bai Xiao was being pretentious and had been pushing back.
After glancing at a bus that was crowded with people again, Bai Xiao finally got into the back seat: "I'm sorry to bother you."
"It's okay. My brother is okay anyway." Pei An'an asked Pei Qiyou to speak, "Don't you think so, brother?"
Pei Qiyou hummed slightly and started the car.
Bai Xiao thought about it carefully. In fact, with Pei An'an present, there was nothing wrong with her taking this ride. There was still fare left.
If she felt uncomfortable when she saw Pei Qiyou, then Pei Qiyou should be even more uncomfortable seeing her now.
The ex-wife became the fiancée's sister. If it were her, she would probably have tossing and turning, for fear of being exposed by accident.
"Where do you live now?" Pei Anan turned around to talk to Bai Xiao from time to time.
Bai Xiao looked up from her phone and answered: "Jindi Art Realm."
"Is that a newly built community for the wealthy? I heard that the land price in that area is the highest in Fengcheng. Brother, does your company have any real estate there?"
Pei Qiyou glanced at the "lively" Pei An'an, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Since when did you care about the company's affairs?"
"Why don't I care? It's only natural for a sister to care about her brother..."
Pei Anan talked back, and then asked Bai Xiao: "Did you buy a house over there? How much does it cost? I want to buy it too."
"I didn't buy it. I don't know the specific price there. It's probably around 4 million."
Pei Anan was speechless, and then looked at Pei Qiyou: "It's because of the existence of rich people like you that the house prices have been raised so high!"
This time, Pei Qiyou didn't talk to her anymore, and even the smile on his lips faded away.
The atmosphere in the car was a little depressing for a while.
Pei Anan looked at Pei Qiyou, who was silent, and then at Bai Xiao, who was playing with his cell phone in the back seat, and leaned on his seat weakly.
She's already like this, and if the person involved doesn't help, what else can she do?
Bai Xiao lowered his head and scrolled through Weibo, and saw an article in the square: "If a man who is unsmiling and arrogant is willing to tell you jokes to lower himself, then marry him." Today, when the Internet is full of slang,
, such a sentence is not unusual.
She sent a text message to Yu Shaoting asking him what he was doing.
After a while, there was a reply: "Just finished the meeting, ready to go back, are you home?"
"On the way." Bai Xiao finished typing the three words, hesitated for a moment, and then wrote the last sentence: "Tell me a joke!"
The phone stopped vibrating until the car got off the elevated platform.
Pei Anan looked at Bai Xiao from the rearview mirror: "Are you texting someone?"
Bai Xiao didn't deny it, and when he was about to put away his phone, a text message came in.
"In order to win the honor of being a small model of energy conservation, a child stayed in the bathroom for a whole day and did not allow his family to flush the toilet after going to the toilet. As a result, the toilet was clogged."
She looked at the joke on the screen, then put the phone into her bag, turned her head to look at the gray sky outside, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
——————————
Pei Qiyou was driving, but his mind was elsewhere. He couldn't control his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror from time to time.
Bai Xiao's long hair was rolled up casually, exposing Bai Xi's slender neck, and her face was turned sideways, like a beautiful white swan looking into the distance.
His fingers were gripping the steering wheel, their knuckles were bulging and a little white.
In the rearview mirror, the corners of her lips were upturned, and the pear dimples on her cheeks were faintly visible.
Were you texting Yu Shaoting just now?
The information revealed in Bai Xiao's chat with An An constantly reminded him of one thing - Bai Xiao lives in a house named by Yu Shaoting.
When did Yu Shaoting become so interested in her?
Pei Qiyou looked at the crowded traffic ahead and suddenly felt extremely irritable.
The memories that he had ignored in the past became clearer little by little. He recalled those old men and upstarts who looked at Bai Xiao with lustful eyes in the business world. At that time, he just watched with cold eyes, but now he thinks about it with unquenchable sullenness.
He couldn't even explain why he was so angry.
Is it jealousy? Or is it distressed? There is no way to verify it.
He still remembered that when the Pei family had just started again, the previous director of the Land Planning Bureau of Fengcheng once invited him to dinner. As his assistant, Bai Xiao accompanied him. As soon as he arrived at the dinner table, Director Zhu, who was over fifty years old, asked him by name.
Xiao sat next to him. He didn't look at Bai Xiao's eyes asking for help. He just raised his glass and smiled at Director Zhu.
After the dinner, he walked out of the hotel, but Bai Xiao, who had been with him when he came, was no longer around.
A real estate developer who was having dinner in the same box patted him on the shoulder when he passed by: "It seems that the land in Jiangnan District will be approved tomorrow."
"No, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. It's a pity that we old men all smell of copper."
Several other bosses also laughed, but he could hear the sarcasm in their laughter.
He also bribed the fat director, not with money, but with a young and beautiful assistant.
But if there is any way, just laugh at him. He has a sum of funds but no way out. This is the only way he can go.
Looking at the real estate developers getting on the bus and leaving, he stood at the door of the hotel for a long time.
The cell phone in his trouser pocket never rang. He thought she would call him for help.
Sitting in the car, he lit a cigarette and looked at the dimly lit hotel in front of him until a slender figure stumbled out of it.
The car window was knocked open, and the first thing Bai Xiao asked him was: "Why do you do this?"
Her clothes were a little messy, but they didn't expose too much. Her eyes were red, like a withered flower that was about to wither in the cold night. He only glanced at her and turned away, sitting in the driver's seat.
like a statue.
She stood outside the car, very stubborn. When she turned to leave, he got out of the car and grabbed her. She struggled to shake him off and shed tears.
Very aggrieved.
He held her arm tightly: "The land in Jiangnan District has never been approved."
Bai Xiao is very smart. Although she has been hiding her clumsiness in the Pei family, he understands her very well and he knows that she understands.
"Why does it have to be Jiangnan District? Doesn't the Pei family have two approved pieces of land in the east of the city?"
He looked at her, his tone a little cold and impatient: "Jiangnan District is the place with the most developed transportation in Fengcheng. If the Pei family wants to make a comeback, it needs a representative real estate. Do you think that bird in the east of the city doesn't lay eggs?"
Is the land suitable? Didn’t you say you were willing to do anything for me?”
Bai Xiao said nothing more. She pulled away his hand and did not leave. Instead, she turned around and entered the hotel again.
Three hours later, she stood by the car again, with only a hint of weariness on her face. She only said one sentence to him: "The land will be approved tomorrow."
Before getting in the car, her back was getting further and further away in the rearview mirror.
He sat in the car, staring at the rearview mirror, his dark eyes bottomless, but the cigarette in his hand was broken.
The next day, the approval letter actually came out, and it was delivered personally by Director Zhu’s secretary.
When I met Director Zhu again in the hotel, his fleshy face looked like a pig's head, and the bruises on his face had not completely subsided. When I saw him, I didn't approach him warmly. Instead, I snorted coldly and turned around.
He left, and later he learned that Director Zhu’s facial injuries were inflicted by his wife using the soles of her shoes.
That night, Bai Xiao got Mrs. Zhu's number from somewhere and called Mrs. Zhu before entering the room.
She played Landlords with Director Zhu in the room for an hour, spent an hour trying to break up the fight, and hid in the bathroom crying for an hour.
She was not very courageous, and when he thought she would run away halfway, she entered the room instead.
…
Some memories are not beautiful, but they are remembered so deeply.
——————————
Pei Anan couldn't stand such silence, so she turned to Bai Xiao and asked, "Do you live alone now?"
"No." Bai Xiao replied.
"Sharing a room with someone?"
Bai Xiao: "I live with my boyfriend."
Pei Anan was stunned and looked at Bai Xiao with disbelief. He glanced at Pei Qiyou with sympathy in his eyes.
Bai Xiao knew that she had misunderstood, and Pei Anan might have thought that she was looking good, and said this deliberately to make Pei Qiyou angry.
But some people knew that Bai Xiao did not lie, but he did not speak.
The car drove into Jindi Art Garden. Pei Anan asked Bai Xiao which building he lived in. Bai Xiao looked at the pile of things next to him and reported the number of buildings.
"There are so many things, let my brother help you carry them up!"
Just as Bai Xiao was about to refuse, Pei Qiyou had already gotten out of the car: "I'll take you up."
When he opened the back seat door, he noticed the bag from the men's boutique and the box of drinks. Bai Xiao didn't like drinking drinks.
It was impossible for Bai Xiao to let Pei Qiyou enter the apartment. Just after he said "no", Yu Shaoting came out of the apartment building.
The remaining words were stuck in my throat.
Someone who was still in the company stood under her nose...
Yu Shaoting was wearing the home clothes from the morning, a pair of cotton mops on his feet, and a garbage bag in his hand.
He also saw a Lexus.
Pei Qiyou held the car door tightly but made no next move.
Bai Xiao had no time to pick up the things, and was afraid that Yu Shaoting would misunderstand, so she got out of the car and walked to him: "Didn't you say you were in the company?"
"Back early." Yu Shaoting threw away the trash and put his hands back into his trouser pockets. His deep gaze fell on her face, but the corners of his eyes glanced at Pei Qiyou beside the car.
