Does this count as stealing chickens and losing money?
When Pei Qiyou returned to his old house, Pei's mother was still sitting on the sofa with a magazine on the tea table, as if she was waiting for him.
Seeing him carrying the trolley box into the house, Jiang Yingmei stood up and asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Pei Qiyou nodded without saying much. He changed into slippers and was about to go upstairs, but Jiang Yingmei stopped him: "I also saw about the magazine."
"..." Pei Qiyou looked up at his mother.
"This time, it is clear that someone is deliberately targeting her. Our Pei family is just being dragged into the water. We can just wait until the limelight passes." Mother Pei carefully looked at the expression on her son's face, and her words became more serious: "
Mom doesn’t have many demands anymore, I just hope you can get married, start a business, and live a good life in peace."
Pei Qiyou understood what his mother meant. She probably guessed what he was thinking. He stopped talking and said, "I have my own sense of proportion."
Not getting the answer she wanted, Pei's mother opened her mouth, wanting to say something else.
Pei Qiyou: "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to the room first." Without giving Pei's mother a chance to continue persuading her, she went straight up the stairs with the trolley box.
Jiang Yingmei said behind him: "It doesn't matter if Yiwei's child is lost. When she goes abroad, you can go on a blind date with me."
…
Pei Qiyou returned to the room and had just taken off his coat when his cell phone rang. It was his secretary's call. He picked up: "How's it going?"
The secretary reported a series of numbers, paused, and said, "Mr. Pei, I also heard that there are a lot of people looking for Mr. Yuansheng today."
At the same time, there was movement from the fax machine in the study room.
Pei Qiyou went to the study room and printed out information one by one. He had asked people to sort out the information about 'Yizhou Weekly' and Yuan Sheng. After hearing what his secretary said, Pei Qiyou flipped through a few pages: "Now that
What is the impact of this report?”
"It's not too serious, but it's not trivial either," the secretary seemed to be hesitating whether to say it or not. Pei Qiyou said directly, "No need to beat around the bush."
"At least in the Pei family, everyone knows about it. Maybe they didn't think of it before. So - plus the content in the newspaper, every sentence criticizes Miss Bai and even people related to her. Even if it is not the truth, everyone follows what they say.
In the end, I’m afraid Bai Xiao will be unable to defend himself. And..."
The secretary hesitated for a while and then said: "Also, the matter between Miss Bai and the third young master of the Yu family is not a secret in Fengcheng."
Regardless of whether the content of the report is true or not, it has tarnished the Yu family's face. As the daughter-in-law, Bai Xiao's life should not be easy.
The secretary secretly added in his mind.
"Let's do this for now. Thank you for your hard work tonight." Pei Qiyou hung up the phone and stood by the fax machine. After a long time, he dialed Li Jing's number first.
Li Jing was woken up by the phone, and his voice was hoarse: "Brother Qi You, it's so late, is something okay?"
"Is your old man familiar with the director of Fengcheng's Press and Publication Bureau?"
"...the relationship is good."
Pei Qiyou walked to the window and looked out at the night: "I have something to ask him for help. Can you ask your old man to help me?"
Li Jing was silent for a while and asked, "Is it Bai Xiao's thing?"
Pei Qiyou did not answer directly, but Li Jing felt that he was inseparable and said: "I have read these two reports. Both the Yu family and the Xu family will intervene in this matter this time. As for the Pei family,
Although he was involved, the relationship should not be significant."
What Li Jing meant was that he didn't have to get involved. Sometimes, silence is the best way, and people will naturally forget about it after a while.
But Pei Qiyou still did not change his original intention. He said: "If you find it inconvenient, I can find someone else."
Having said that, Li Jing didn't try to persuade him any more. He went to find his old man and got the number of Mr. Yuansheng from Pei Qiyou. Late at night, he relied on many connections to find someone from the General Administration of Press and Publication.
The person I could talk to called Yuansheng's boss and got a response quickly.
"Boss Yuansheng is also very worried at the moment. It is said that many of their company's magazines will face thorough investigations. I don't know who reported it, saying that their magazines are involved in pornography. It could have been solved with a little money, but this time
But the superiors don't accept this trick." Li Jing talked about this and relished: "By the way, there are still people buying Yuansheng's scattered shares in the market. By tomorrow, Yuansheng's stock price will definitely fall sharply. At this time, buy a lot of shares.
He came in and made it clear that he wanted to take advantage of the situation and interfere in Yuan Sheng's housework."
"Do you know who bought it?" Pei Qiyou asked.
"Stock Economics said it is not convenient to disclose, but they hinted that there is more than one account, and they are all unfamiliar accounts, and some are still abroad."
Pei Qiyou hung up the phone and stared out the window in a certain direction, wondering what he was thinking.
A long time later, he called his personal financial planner and asked him to spend 40% of his family's wealth to buy Yuansheng's stocks. The financial planner felt that this was not a wise move: "Mr. Pei, according to the
According to internal news, something happened to Yuansheng, so I’m afraid if you buy it now—you should think about it again.”
"No need, I know what I'm doing, just follow it."
After pressing the hang up button, Pei Qiyou turned around and saw Jiang Yingmei standing at the door of the study at some unknown time.
Jiang Yingmei's expression was very bad. When Pei Qiyou passed by her with her mobile phone, she turned sideways and said harshly: "Do you really know what you are doing?"
Pei Qiyou remained silent, holding the phone tightly with his fingers.
"Whatever you did in the past, I, as a mother, would never interfere with you, but now, you are becoming more and more outrageous."
Jiang Yingmei looked at her son with disappointment: "If you continue to be so emotional, what will happen to such a big company because of you?"
Pei Qiyou looked back at her: "The worst we can do is go back to a few years ago. It's not like we haven't lived that kind of life before."
"Pa!" A slap fell on his face.
Pei Qiyou didn't refute anymore. He left the study directly and went downstairs. Jiang Yingmei hurriedly chased him a few steps: "It's so late, where are you going?"
——————————
In the evening, when Yu Shaoting returned home, it was pouring rain outside, and there was the sound of dripping water on the eaves.
Perhaps because Yu Jingxi was accompanying her at home, Bai Xiao was in a good mood all afternoon. Just before dinner, Mrs. Yu's phone call came.
"It's the old lady's call." Aunt Li covered the telephone receiver and turned to the restaurant.
Bai Xiao looked at Yu Shaoting, who was sitting opposite. He had no intention of getting up to pick her up. Instead, he looked up at her, as if to say, "Why don't you pick her up?"
As if being chased away from the store, Bai Xiao went to answer the phone, took the phone, and called the old lady "Mom."
Bai Xiao thought that Mrs. Yu would definitely come to inquire about the report. At this point, it was already much later than she expected.
But the first thing Mrs. Yu said was - "Xiaoxiao, how are you doing?"
"..." Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Well, it's good, Mom, what about you? Today, Aunt Zhang said you went out for a beauty treatment."
Mrs. Yu seemed to be in a good mood. She chatted with Bai Xiao for a few words, saying that Mrs. Wang was too fat and the beauty center couldn't accommodate her. Then the old lady accidentally said: "Today's magazine matter.
I saw it, it’s my fault that the third child didn’t protect you three.”
"But don't worry, I have just reported this magazine that is spreading rumors and causing trouble."
"Mom, actually what the report said -" Bai Xiaogang wanted to explain to the old lady the part about her being the child bride of the Pei family.
As a result, the old lady stopped her and said, "Mom is not an old fool who just follows what others say. She won't believe things that are made out of nothing. Don't worry."
"No..." The phone in Bai Xiao's hand was taken away.
Yu Shaoting was already standing beside her, holding her shoulder with his other hand and stroking it gently. He said a few words to Mrs. Yu and then hung up the phone.
Bai Xiao had doubts in her heart and wanted to ask him, but Yu Shaoting put down the phone and put his arm around her shoulder: "It took me so long to answer the phone, let's go over to eat."
…
The courtyard, this side of the Yu family.
Mrs. Yu put down the landline phone and sighed. Aunt Zhang set the dishes and chopsticks in the restaurant: "Madam, you can eat now."
After sitting down at the dining table, Mrs. Yu looked towards the second floor: "Where are you two?"
"The leader hasn't come back yet." Aunt Zhang said, "Maybe the army had something to do and he left in a hurry just now."
Mrs. Yu nodded and just picked up the bowl. She still felt unhappy. She raised her head and said to Aunt Zhang: "Ajuan, do you think it's easy for me?"
"You have been worried about the chief and the third young master these years."
"What can I do? It's not easy for the mistress to find a daughter-in-law. She is still married for the second time. Forget the second marriage. Now it is said that she is the cousin of the ex-wife. Forget it. Now we know that it is the child of the Pei family——
"Halfway through the sentence, the old lady suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"Madam—" Aunt Zhang thought something had happened to the old lady.
"It's okay, it's okay." Old Mrs. Yu said, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "The old man thinks I'm stupid, but in fact, I'm much smarter than him. Why do I think so much about some things? I can't even cook them.
Now that we are mature, we still have to live this life. Besides, my wife, the mistress, is taking care of her own treasure."
Aunt Zhang poured a bowl of soup for the old lady with a smile: "You, this is as wise as a fool."
——————————
After dinner, Bai Xiao still asked Yu Shaoting: "Mom, don't you still know what happened to me at the Pei family?"
Yu Shaoting took her hand, held it, put it on his leg and rubbed it gently back and forth, with some ambiguous movements, and said: "Old lady, I never believe the news in gossip magazines. You were on the phone just now and asked me to tell you.
You, don't be too serious."
"Really?" Bai Xiao didn't believe it, "Then why didn't she tell me herself?"
"Let me tell you, don't you mean the same thing as what I told you?" In the last half of his sentence, he said it slightly frivolously.
Bai Xiao's attention was successfully diverted, and the two of them sat next to each other on the sofa. Her cheeks were slightly hot, and she let go of his hand and stood up: "I will practice yoga for a while."
"Can you still practice this?" He leaned back on the sofa and looked at her waist with interest.
"...I just learned it recently." Bai Xiao felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, so she went to get a yoga blanket and spread it on the floor. In fact, what she wanted to learn was pregnancy yoga, and she even bought a CD on the Internet, but maybe
I was afraid of hurting the baby in my belly, so I was restrained in learning, and many of the movements were not done properly, so I was only half-assed.
Yu Jingxi, on the other hand, has developed a strong interest in yoga. Whenever Bai Xiao plays music, he will practice along with her, holding out her belly in a decent manner.
Yu Shaoting poured a glass of water and came out of the kitchen. Instead of walking over in a hurry, he leaned on the pillar next to him and drank water slowly while watching the mother and son messing around in the living room like they were watching a circus. The yoga instructor was explaining
Amidst the sound, Bai Xiao's mobile phone placed on the dining table rang.
Yu Shaoting looked at the caller ID and didn't call Bai Xiao. Instead, he took the phone and went to the corner to pick up: "Hello?"
…
Pei Qiyou didn't know why he drove here, why he called her, and he didn't even hang up immediately after Yu Shaoting answered the call.
He sat in the car, the wipers sweeping left and right to clear the water column on the windshield.
Yu Shaoting came out of the villa. He was holding a dark umbrella and wearing a shirt and trousers. The heavy rain wet his trousers and half of his left shoulder, but he was still caught in the two car lights.
He walked over, closed his umbrella, opened the passenger door and got in the car.
"Come here late at night, what do you want?" Yu Shaoting glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, as if he really didn't know the purpose of his coming here.
Pei Qiyou got straight to the point: "You bought the odd shares of Yuansheng on the market, right? There is also the matter of Yuansheng's magazines facing thorough investigation, which is also related to you."
Yu Shaoting smiled calmly: "When did Yuan Sheng get involved with you?"
"..." Pei Qiyou said nothing, but held the steering wheel tightly with his hands.
Regarding Yu Shaoting, Pei Qiyou has already learned his methods regarding Bai Xiao. Even if he doesn't admit it, Pei Qiyou feels that those things are inseparable from him. Just like now, every time he calls Bai Xiao,
All I heard was Yu Shaoting's annoying voice.
"It's raining a lot outside. If you have nothing to do, go back early and don't worry your family."
Pei Qiyou's face turned darker when he heard Yu Shaoting's hypocritical preaching, but Yu Shaoting didn't mind and directly opened the door and got out of the car.
Before closing the car door, Pei Qiyou finally couldn't bear it anymore. He turned back to the man standing outside the car and said, "I have something to say to her. Let her come out."
"What do you want to say? Tell me and I will convey it to you."
Compared to Yu Shaoting's calm demeanor, Pei Qiyou was obviously a little out of control. He opened the car door and got out. Regardless of the heavy rain, he rushed to Yu Shaoting. The two were about the same height. He picked up Yu Shaoting's collar: "
You despicable villain, is it interesting to dominate her like this?"
Yu Shaoting raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is it boring? She is practicing yoga at home with her son at the moment. If you don't mind, you can go in and sit."
Pei Qiyou's hand holding the collar of his shirt stiffened slightly, and his eyes, washed red by the rain, stared at him.
Yu Shaoting's cell phone vibrated in his trouser pocket.
He looked back at Pei Qiyou and answered directly in front of him: "Well, something happened to Jin Sheng. He left and will be back soon."
Pei Qiyou was furious when he heard him telling lies with his eyes open.
Putting away his cell phone, Yu Shaoting raised his hand and pulled Pei Qiyou's hand away. He looked into his angry eyes and said lightly: "Don't worry about other people's wives. I'll tolerate you once or twice. Don't think of it as condoning. You should also listen to me."
Wei once said that I have a bad temper."
…
Bai Xiao heard the door open and turned to look over. Yu Shaoting was changing shoes at the entrance. She got up from the blanket and went to the bathroom to get him a towel.
"Is it raining so hard outside?" She found that his entire back was almost wet.
When Yu Shaoting took the towel, he also held her hand and looked directly at her: "Just go upstairs and take a shower."
Bai Xiao understood what he meant and felt a little shy. She glanced at the children who were still practicing yoga in the living room. Seeing that Aunt Li was still there, she hesitated and followed him upstairs.
As soon as they entered the master bedroom, Yu Shaoting hugged her from behind. While taking off her clothes, he lowered his head and kissed her neck: "It smells so good."
Bai Xiao was amused by him. When the two met frankly, he coaxed in her ear and asked her to turn her back. The two of them had a tacit understanding on this matter. She lay there obediently, and the wet and hot kiss continued.
From her shoulders down... [imagine the part below the neck by yourself]
——————————
Unlike the endless love here, the Xia family in the capital was already in chaos.
Late that night, a certain descendant of the Xia family was successfully arrested by the police for taking drugs at a house in the capital.
When Xia's family was anxious to use their connections to bail him out, the next day's newspaper revealed that Xia Jianyao had a mistress outside, who was only twenty years old. They even posted a *photo of Xia Jianyao and his mistress.
When the receptionist saw the mistress making a victory gesture in the photo, she fainted without lifting her breath.
