Chapter 720
After finishing the simple dinner, Cheng Xi turned around and took out the honey from the refrigerator, dug out a large spoonful of honey and mixed it with warm water. After soaking it, she put it in front of Pei Yanzhou and said, "Drink. Every time Cheng Zhouhua came back after drinking, I would Mom would make him honey water, which I heard can reduce the damage to the stomach caused by alcohol."
Pei Yanzhou looked at the glass of honey water and was startled.
In the past, when returning to the old house after drinking and socializing, Pei's mother would also ask the servants to get him some soup.
But Cheng Xi is his girlfriend, which has a completely different meaning.
Pei Yanzhou took Cheng Xi into his arms, lowered his head, and the warmth in his black eyes was so intense that it couldn't be melted away.
Just when Cheng Xi thought he was likely to kiss her hard the next moment, he suddenly said "thank you" in a low voice.
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly, "You're welcome."
...
9:28 p.m.
Cheng Xi sat at the dining table and started eating. She was really hungry. Even the chicken steaks and vegetables with little oil and water were delicious.
Pei Yanzhou sat on the dining chair opposite and looked at her. On the table in front of him was the cup of honey water she made for him.
"Well, Uncle Mu likes to drink a little wine, so I'll drink some with him tonight."
"Then he should like the gift you gave him." Cheng Xi said enthusiastically, "I thought he was so old, so he chose a black watch, but the dark blue one is also good."
Pei Yanzhou took a big sip of the honey water. It was warm and not very sweet. "It's okay."
In fact, he felt that his father didn't particularly like him.
But he really didn't know what to give.
If it was his biological father, he could give him famous paintings and collectible copybooks. Father Pei was a man of good taste and knowledgeable.
But Mu's father didn't know how to appreciate it, and he didn't have a collection room.
It was a complete waste to give him those things, and it would be even more troublesome if they were stolen.
What's more, he didn't give too much.
If he directly gives tens or hundreds of millions of dollars in cash because the Mu family saved his life, it is very likely that he will harm Mu's father and mother.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.
Thinking of these, Pei Yanzhou was a little distracted.
"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Xi noticed.
Pei Yanzhou turned the glass and said, "I'm thinking... I may not know Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu as well as I thought."
He didn't feel comfortable telling Cheng Xi everything about tonight.
He rolled around in the mall and experienced many things. When Director Feng appeared tonight, he had a vague feeling that something was too coincidental.
During this dinner, he was probably taken advantage of by Mu Xuetong and that Zhang Dan.
It is very likely that Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu also knew about it, otherwise Uncle Mu would not have taken the initiative to add Director Feng's WeChat account.
However, he couldn't tell Cheng Xi completely about it. Cheng Xi had always disliked Mu Xuetong and would definitely be unhappy if he found out.
"It's normal. Some people can't fully understand it after living under the same roof for decades."
Cheng Xi suddenly said calmly, "As long as you do your job well and have a clear conscience, it will be fine."
Pei Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled hoarsely, "I didn't seem to say anything, but your words seemed to speak to my heart."
