eight pm.
Cheng Xi and Xu Xiao came out of the company elevator together.
"Dudu"
A Bentley drove up in front of Cheng Xi.
The car window opened, revealing Pei Yanzhou's handsome and smooth face.
"I'm leaving first, so I won't disturb your date." Xu Xiao waved ambiguously, turned around and left towards the subway station.
Cheng Xi got in the car and said in a bad mood: "I went to the hospital to see Ling Zheng's parents today, and they actually asked for a sky-high compensation of 1.2 million. I was so angry."
"1.2 million?"
Pei Yanzhou smiled sarcastically, "When Lawyer Shen went there two days ago, they offered compensation of only one million, and it has gone up again today. You don't need to go. Lingzheng's parents have no intention of settling."
"Who is this?" Cheng Xi was simply annoyed.
"For you."
A beautiful invitation was suddenly handed to her.
Pei Yanzhou said: "Chongli asked me to give it to you. This Saturday, he will hold an engagement ceremony at Dongli Villa."
"Is it the villa we visited before?" Cheng Xi asked.
Pei Yanzhou said "Yeah" lightly.
Cheng Xi took the invitation and said, "It's very beautiful. I've never seen such a beautiful invitation. It's inlaid with fresh flowers and it's very fragrant."
"..."
Pei Yanzhou moved his thin lips, thinking that the invitations for their engagement would definitely look better than others.
But thinking that he had canceled the engagement before, besides being envious of others, he now had no shame in mentioning the engagement to Cheng Xi.
"You can come with me."
Pei Yanzhou spoke again, "Chongli said, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go. I respect you."
"I'm not going."
Cheng Xi returned the invitation to Pei Yanzhou, "I hate Qin Jiamiao."
"good."
Pei Yanzhou didn't force her, "I hate it too, but Chongli is engaged and I have to go."
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go." Cheng Xi thought of Ling Zheng who was still at the police station, and felt a little melancholy and sad in her heart.
When Pei Yanzhou saw her like this, he knew what she was thinking, "Stop thinking nonsense. Ling Zheng's matter will be solved. Lawyer Shen said he already has a solution, but it just takes some time."
"I just feel...why there are so many differences between people."
Cheng Xi said in annoyance.
Qin Jiamiao's character was not good in every aspect. He had been in prison and had harmed others, but he was able to marry Lu Chongli and became the well-respected young lady of the Lu family.
As for Ling Zheng, in terms of character and personality, she is much stronger than Qin Jiamiao, but she is still stuck in a cold prison.
Pei Yanzhou's eyes softened, and he gently held Cheng Xi's shoulders and pulled him into his arms.
Cheng Xi leaned on him quietly for a while, until the familiar and refreshing scent of cedar drifted into her nose, and she suddenly broke away from his arm and sat upright, "What are you doing? Don't move your hands or feet."
"I didn't do anything. I just saw that you seemed a little tired and asked you to lean on it for a while." Pei Yanzhou looked aggrieved.
"I'm not tired." Cheng Xi deliberately made a cold face.
"Okay, you're not tired if you're not tired." Pei Yanzhou coaxed softly, "Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"What to eat?"
"barbecue......."
Cheng Xi was suddenly moved.
