Deluge - Chapter 56

[Chapter 56]

Pei Yu was not happy, and slapped him coldly across the phone. Xu Juan was a little sad at first, feeling that the contradiction between them was very weak, but he thought about it for a while, and in the middle of the night, lying on the bed with his head covered, he suddenly felt a little funny.

In fact, Pei Yu’s temper is quite understandable. As long as there are no problems at ordinary times, he is almost obedient to him. If he makes Pei Yu angry, Pei Yu will put on a cold look and not give him a good look. But other than that, there is no other way, this man is a paper tiger from beginning to end.

So the key question is, why is Pei Yu angry?

It seems that every time it’s because of him being scum, taking the initiative to scum, or being misunderstood, this time too, Pei Yu doesn’t trust him, he is worried that he will play with his friends and mess around outside, Pei Yu is in this relationship Without a sense of security, you can only hide your unease by getting angry.

But he was also very cute when he was angry, like a tantrum girlfriend-

Xu Juan hid under the quilt and laughed sullenly. After calming down, he sent a message to Pei Yu: “Hey, are you asleep?”

Pei Yu didn’t reply.

Xu Juan said to himself, “There are some entertainments that can’t be avoided. If you’re worried, you can go with me? But that kind of occasion is not suitable for you, didn’t you say you don’t like it?”

Pei Yu still didn’t reply.

Xu Juan said, “I don’t know what to do, please give me some instructions, Mr. Pei.”

“President Pei” may have figured it out. It is really unreasonable to ask Xu Juan to cut off contact with his friends. After a while, he said: “You can go if you want, but you must report to me. Where did you go, what time did you go, how many people in total, what did you do, and when it ended, you must tell me clearly.”

Xu Juan: “…”

Pei Yu : “What’s the matter, you don’t want to?”

Xu Juan: “No, I don’t want to, I’m just thinking, is this conflict resolved? Are there other conflicts? Let’s resolve them together, and then immediately I can’t wait to get back together.”

Pei Yu: “What’s your hurry?”

Xu Juan: “I want to be close to you, why can’t I be in a hurry?”

Pei Yu: “…”

Xu Juan smiled on the pillow, deliberately teasing him: “I really want to kiss you, I want to hug, I want to I’ll sleep with you.”

Pei Yu didn’t reply for a long time, Xu Juan could imagine his current expression, and the more he thought about it, the more his heart tickled: “Okay, Mr. Pei, we haven’t made out for a long time, you won’t think about it in the dead of night. Me? Obviously you like it very much, I used to think you were a pure-hearted person, until the last time, hey, you made me work so hard and recovered for several days.”

Pei Yu finally returned: ” Xu Juan, please don’t talk nonsense.”

“Where is the nonsense? What did I say wrong?”

Xu Juan cleared his throat, restrained his smile, and said in a serious voice in the second half of the sentence: “Do you want to kiss me? , do you want to sleep with me, do you want to do that with me, Mr. Pei?”

He was very good at pinch tones, and there was a bit of sticky warmth in his pretending pure tone, like a kind of subtle coquettishness. After that, the WeChat message showed “the other party is typing”, but Pei Yu didn’t reply.

Xu Juan yawned and thought to himself, a gentleman is both boring and interesting, so cute.

But then Pei Yu didn’t reply. He put his phone beside his pillow and fell asleep at some point. The next morning, he was woken up by a phone call.

It was He Xiangzi who called, Xu Juan answered sleepily and called out “Mom”.

He Xiangzi said: “What are you busy with? Come back today.”

“Ah.” Xu Juan became sober, “what’s the matter? Is there something wrong?”

He Xiangzi seemed to be in a bad mood, with a stern tone: “Are you okay? Not the Xu family? Do you need a reason to call you home?!”

“…”

Xu Juan was slapped in the face early in the morning, He Xiangzi hung up after leaving a sentence “come back now”, he sat blankly on the bed for a while, then got out of bed to wash, change clothes, pick up the car keys and go out without breakfast .

On the way home, Xu Juan was completely awake, and there was no sleepiness left.

He Xiangzi wouldn’t call and scold him for no reason. There must be something wrong, but what made her feel so bad?

Xu Juan diverged his thoughts while driving, made a random guess, and arrived soon after.

Unexpectedly, more than one car was parked in front of his villa, and both Xu Zhouyi and Xu Qingguang came back.

Xu Juan’s heart suddenly swayed, and there was a vague feeling of bad premonition.

He stepped on the thin snow on the ground and walked into the door, took off his windbreaker and handed it to the nanny aunt. He took a closer look and saw that there were several people in the living room. Besides his family of five, there were two outsiders whom he knew, one of them. It is a family doctor, and the other is Xu Jiren’s personal lawyer.

“What’s wrong?”

Xu Juan took a few steps closer. His dad was sitting on the sofa, his mother and his sister were on the left and right, his elder brother Xu Zhouyi and the doctor were on the opposite side, and the lawyer was standing next to him, fiddling with the table. stacks of documents.

Xu Juan glanced at the documents and looked at Xu Jiren: “What’s the matter, Dad?”

“Your dad is sick.” He Xiangzi spoke up. She seemed to have just cried, her eyes were a little red, but her expression remained as decent and reserved as ever. He said to Xu Juan, “Stomach cancer, just discovered.”

Xu Juan was stunned for a while, but did not respond: “What?”

He Xiangzi turned her face away, raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eyes, but said nothing.

Xu Qingguang gave him a hand and whispered, “Dad said a while ago that he was not feeling well, had stomach pain, and anorexia. Mom asked him to go for a checkup. He was too busy and he didn’t take it seriously. Yesterday, he finally couldn’t hold back the checkup. Yes, gastric cancer was found, mid-term.”

“…”

Xu Juan was a little stunned, and his eyes fell on his father.

Xu Jiren is in his 60s. He started from scratch and has been ups and downs in the commercial sea for decades. He has seen all kinds of wind and waves. At this moment, he did not show any panic or grief. He just waved his hand and asked Xu Juan to come to him: ” The third one will come and have a look.”

Xu Juan heard the words and walked over, Xu Jiren said: “I have long thought about making a will. I didn’t feel anxious before, but now I feel that I should arrange it earlier and save my worries. I’m calling you all back today because I want to hear it. Listen to your own thoughts, our family is not like others, there are no jokes about fighting for family property, but we must pay attention to fairness, so as to avoid unpleasant things in the future.”

Xu Juan’s head was buzzing, and his eyes followed his father’s gaze. , There are detailed documents on the division of inheritance on the table. There are several thick stacks. Xu Jiren pushed it to him, which means that Xu Zhouyi and Xu Qingguang have already read it, and now it is your turn to read it.

Xu Juan knew that this day would come, but he didn’t expect it to come so suddenly.

In the past, when He Xiangzi scolded him for not doing his job properly, the most common thing he said was, “When your dad and I die, I won’t leave you a penny. Let you bastard drink the northwest wind.” Hearing that, he was upset by the lesson, so he retorted: “Then you should live two more years.”

He Xiangzi couldn’t do anything about him.

But the angry words return to the angry words. On this day, Xu Jiren will not treat him badly, and he should give him no less than his brothers and sisters. But when money is too much to a certain extent, it is just a number and has no real sense.

Xu Juan used to be very profligate, but he didn’t have much desire for money. In contrast, he was more concerned about his father’s illness.

Why did you suddenly get sick? The last time we met, it was good. Not long ago, I went on a business trip abroad. I looked in good spirits, not like someone who was not in good health…

Xu Juan’s eyes were slightly red, and he held back his tears. He couldn’t read the words on the paper. go in.

Xu Jiren said: “I will retire and recuperate in the future, and I will leave the work to your brother. I originally hoped that you could help him, and the two brothers would take care of the company together, but you, like Qingguang, are not interested in this. I’m not good at persecuting you either. I heard from Xiao Jiao a while ago that your game company has improved? Then do it well, good or bad is a career, working hard to do something is better than wasting time.”

“…”

Xu Juan’s throat choked. Later, his father said something. He listened carefully, but he was a little dazed and couldn’t listen.

In the past, because of his young age, he always felt subconsciously that it didn’t matter what he did, he had plenty of time to make mistakes and correct them.

It was only after his twenty-sixth birthday this year that he had a faint feeling of growing up. Now he is working hard to change, and before he has fully adapted to the life “after growing up”, he was caught off guard again.

In the past, I heard people say that from birth to growth, it is a process of acquisition. During this period, knowledge, experience, money and other aspects are stored, and if you continue to grow up after maturity, you will become a lost person. Especially as you get closer to middle age, the pressures of life become heavier, and certain things you once had will gradually drift away from you, including youth, curiosity and enthusiasm for the world, and parents.

Xu Juan has not yet reached this stage, but is walking towards it.

The feeling is beyond words.

He stayed at home for a day.

At first, the whole family discussed the matter of making a will. Later, the lawyer and the doctor were sent away, and the family was closed, and it was inevitable to discuss the life-long affairs of the children.

At this point, Xu Qingguang bears the brunt. She is a daughter. Compared with their two sons, Xu Jiren and He Xiangzi are even more worried about her, for fear that she will marry the wrong person in the future and lead an unhappy life. Xu Qingguang bluntly said that she is a non-marriageist and will not marry, please rest assured.

He Xiangzi was even more worried, arguing with her about this issue all afternoon, and still saying at dinner: “Mom is not an antique, isn’t Mom afraid that you will not be taken care of in the future? Find a man who loves you to marry, what’s the problem? Okay? Let him be the son-in-law.”

“…”

Xu Qingguang was depressed and didn’t understand why he had to have a man? But since I couldn’t quarrel with her mother on this day, I had to endure it.

Thanks to her sister’s blessing, Xu Juan escaped, and her mother didn’t care about him.

However, it may also be that he gave up, and he doesn’t want to care about his bad things anymore.

Xu Juan stayed until the evening, and then spent a while alone with Xu Jiren, and drove back to his residence after eight o’clock.

He was sad and had a lot to say to his father, but the family atmosphere in their family was too calm, almost everyone was rational, only he was full of sadness, which has always been the case since he was a child, so he couldn’t say sensational words. In the end, he only cares a few words, hoping that his father will take care of his health and take good treatment.

On the way back, Xu Juan was always in a low mood.

Today, he didn’t send a circle of friends, and he didn’t read WeChat messages very much. He contacted Pei Yu, usually he spoke first, and Pei Yu rarely took the initiative to find him. Of course, even if Pei Yu wanted to find him, there was no chance. He slept every day. The first thing to wake up was to harass Pei Yu, and Pei Yu couldn’t even handle it.

He was surprisingly quiet today, and Pei Yu might not be used to it, so he sent him two messages for the first time. The first one was after nine o’clock in the morning, asking him if he had not woken up yet. He didn’t have time to look at his phone at that time, so he didn’t reply. Two hours later, Pei Yu was a little unhappy: “Where are you?”

Xu Juan saw it at lunch and said that something had happened at his home and he would contact him later. Pei Yu responded and asked him to call himself at night.

It was almost nine o’clock when I got home. Xu Juan just wanted to fulfill his promise and called Pei Yu, but unexpectedly, the phone rang first.

Pei Yu’s name jumped on the screen, and Xu Juan picked it up: “Hello, Teacher Pei.”

“…” Pei Yu was very keen, “What’s wrong? What happened to your family?”

Xu Juan held back tears for a day, and finally When he heard Pei Yu’s voice, it flowed down, he sniffed and muttered: “Pei Yu, I want to see you, can you come to me?”
