I don’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said. Before the woman could open her mouth to speak, the driver braked and she almost hit the back seat in front of her.
Her stomach was churning, and she quickly covered her mouth and almost vomited it out.
It was too far away from the city, and the distance was not easy to walk. Even if she didn't get motion sickness, she couldn't help but want to vomit.
The driver apologized quickly, "I'm sorry, madam, there is a big rock ahead..."
By the way, not only is the distance long and difficult to walk, it’s also dangerous.
If you encounter a landslide, your life will remain here.
The woman lowered the window and breathed in the fresh air outside the window. It took a long time to suppress the nausea in her heart.
She said bitterly: "Pei Yan is so cruel that he found such a poor and remote place."
The motion sickness made her lose the intention to continue talking on the phone. "Okay, let's stop talking. I'll ask the driver to stop and have a rest. It's almost killing me."
The woman really regretted it. If she had known she was going to suffer like this, she would have said nothing and let her...
Time passed quickly, and night fell quietly.
This small mountain village, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is shrouded in darkness. White smoke rises from the chimneys of every house, and the air is tainted with the aroma of food.
The high heels stepped on the soft ground. The woman stumbled and quickly held on to the wall next to her.
The person didn't fall, but her hands touched the soil. Her face was full of disgust.
But smelling the fragrance in the air, she didn't eat dinner, and the woman's stomach couldn't help but growl because of motion sickness.
She gritted her teeth. She had not suffered as much as she did today in more than twenty years.
If she hadn't been afraid of what Pei Sui'an would say to Pei Yan, she would never have set foot in this poor land in her life.
The driver and bodyguard pretended not to hear the sound of the woman's stomach and walked obediently ahead to lead the way.
"Ma'am, this is it."
The sound of opening the door disturbed the people eating inside. Cui Long put down his chopsticks and walked out, and saw a man and a woman suddenly appearing in the yard.
Cui Long frowned, "You are not from this village? What are you doing here at night?"
The woman ignored her and walked straight into the house.
Cui Long wanted to stop her, but was blocked by the driver, "Are you from Mr. Pei Yan? This is Mr. Pei Luying's wife, your Mr. Pei Yan's mother."
Mother?
Cui Long said without giving any face: "Our President Pei's mother has been dead for more than 20 years. Don't use any kittens or puppies to act as our President Pei's mother."
Liu Qian, who was about to step into the house, clenched her fingers.
Zheng Qing, who came out after hearing the noise, saw this and dialed Pei Yan's phone number.
Liu Qian didn't care. She deliberately waited for Pei Yan to return to City A before coming over. Because the sky was high and the Emperor was far away, even if Pei Yan rushed over after receiving the news, he would be delayed for several hours on the way.
By the time Pei Yan got here, he had already achieved his goal and left.
Liu Qian didn't want to waste time on Cui Long and Zheng Qing, so she walked into the room, and Zheng Qing didn't stop her.
After entering the door, Liu Qian saw a man sitting at the table, picking rice into his mouth. He was more miserable and filthy than the beggars in City A.
She froze on the spot, looking around and seeing no one else, she shouted in disbelief: "Leah?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Pelia looked up suddenly.
When she saw it was Liu Qian, she shed tears immediately.
"mom!!"
Pei Liya was beaten violently by Jiang Heshu yesterday, and her whole body hurt now, but now the joy in her heart overwhelmed the pain in her body, and she flew towards Liu Qian.
However, Liu Qian took several steps back and covered her nose.
"Don't come over here, it stinks too much." She said with disgust.
Pei Liya's face froze, but she still stood there obediently.
Guo Jianye’s home——
Jiang Heshu was on a video call with Pei Sui'an.
Pei Yan looked at her after hanging up the phone, "I'm going out."
Jiang Heshu nodded casually, not paying him any attention.
The man's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything.
Not long after he left, there was a knock on the door.
It happened that it was time for Pei Sui'an to go to bed. After saying good night to each other, Jiang Heshu hung up the phone and went to open the door.
At the door, Wang Lixue said with a smile: "Sister Heshu, you are not in good health. I heated up a bottle of milk for you."
Jiang Heshu thought for a few seconds, then took it and politely thanked him.
"Sister Heshu, you are so polite. It takes just a little effort." Wang Lixue waved her hand.
In response, Jiang Heshu just smiled and said nothing.
Logically speaking, Wang Lixue should have left after delivering the milk, but she didn't. She stood there waiting for Jiang Heshu to invite her into the house.
Unfortunately, Jiang Heshu didn't seem to notice and didn't say a word.
For a while, the two were in a stalemate.
After a few seconds, Wang Lixue could only take the initiative to break the silence.
She pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Sister Heshu, I don't know a few questions. Can you teach me?"
Jiang Heshu looked at her, "Didn't you drop out of school?"
"Yes, but I don't want to give up just like that. I have been working hard to learn knowledge. I want to borrow money from relatives to study."
He is a good student who is studious, strong and has ideas.
Jiang Heshu praised: "You are right to think so, and I support you."
Wang Lixue smiled shyly, but said disappointedly: "I called my relatives today and they refused to lend me money for tuition, but I will never give up easily. I will definitely find a way to continue studying!"
"Yes, only by never giving up can you succeed." Jiang Heshu encouraged.
This is different from what Wang Lixue thought. She thought that if she said this, Jiang Heshu would say to help her...
Wang Lixue thought for a while and continued: "Maybe if I meet a rich and kind person who is willing to sponsor me, I can continue to go to school!"
"As long as someone is willing to help me, when I graduate, I will definitely work hard to make money and repay her!"
Jiang Heshu just pretended that he didn't understand her hint and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I will repay my kindness."
She still didn't answer, which made Wang Lixue a little disappointed.
Originally, she thought that if she worked harder tonight, she would be able to achieve her goal, but who knew...
However, Wang Lixue also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she said goodbye.
At this moment, Jiang Heshu suddenly asked: "Why can your cousin be sponsored, but you are not?"
Wang Lixue looked stunned. Looking at Jiang Heshu's clear and translucent eyes, she subconsciously looked away.
He lowered his eyes and sighed, "My cousin has been lucky since she was a child. If I can't, my fate will be bad."
The same rhetoric as yesterday.
Jiang Heshu said nothing. After Wang Lixue left, she closed the door.
Pei Yan had already told her in the morning why Wang Lixue was not selected for funding.
Wang Lixue was not selected, so it was not a matter of good luck or bad luck at all.
Looking down at the warm milk in his hand, Jiang Heshu's eyes were cold and he put it on the table without moving.
If she didn't think it was worth fighting over this matter, she wouldn't have accepted the milk.
She didn't want this kind of concern with other thoughts.
…
Pei Yan didn't know where he went. He didn't come back until Jiang Heshu took a bath.
Jiang Heshu glanced at the time and was about to call him when the man happened to open the door and walk in.
Just as he was about to ask him where he had been and why he came back so late, before he could say anything, Jiang Heshu was the first to smell a woman's perfume.
The smell of perfume came from Pei Yan. A closer look showed that there were some wrinkles on Pei Yan's clothes and some dust on the corners of his clothes.
Something flashed through his mind, and Jiang Heshu's expression immediately changed.
She grabbed the quilt with her thin white fingers, her face turned pale, "Where have you been?"
Jiang Heshu couldn't help but ask this question.
Pei Yan did not answer immediately, but frowned and looked at Jiang Heshu, "Are you feeling well? Are you looking so ugly?"
He thought for a moment, "Wang Lixue came to see you again?"
As Pei Yan approached, the smell of woman's perfume became stronger.
