After asking this sentence, Zhou Dong saw the other party's smile.

Polite and distant.

The excited mind, like being thrown into a bucket of snow in boiling water, suddenly calmed down. He suddenly remembered those rumors back then. Some said that Hua Jin's parents favored sons over daughters, which was not good for her; some said that Hua Jin's family had an accident and she was the only one left in the whole family; and also said that she did not take the college entrance examination because of Her uncle's family found her a rich husband's family and let her marry.

If the beautiful girl in front of her is really Hua Jin, has his presence become the key to awakening her painful memories? She finally crawled out of that life and had a new life, why did he have to expose it in front of others.

At this moment, Zhou Dong's whole figure was like drowning, so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe. He lowered his head and said with a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." At that time, he was young Mu Ai, but when he found out that Hua Jin had not come to take the college entrance examination, he didn't even go to her except for worrying in his heart. the meaning of. After the college entrance examination was over, he still had all kinds of scruples, until he heard the girls in the class say in the chat group that Hua Jin was going to get married, he sighed and hid the secret love that was not a secret love in his heart.

When she was suffering, maybe he was in the college entrance examination and was happy for himself to be admitted to a good university. He never thought of helping her and pulling her. Now that she met in a foreign country, she didn't want to recall the past, so why should he mention it again. Zhou Dong felt sad, regretted for Hua Jin's past, and regretted his cowardice and incompetence. His eyes were slightly red, and his voice trembled, "I'm sorry."

After speaking, he turned around and ran out of the store, not even having the courage to look back.

"What's the matter with this man?" Yang Shao glanced at Zhou Dong's back, who was running around in embarrassment, "Flower embroiderer, do you know him?"

Hua Jin smiled and did not speak, but turned to see Pei Yan standing outside the window.

Did he come with Yang Shao?

No wonder Yang Shao, with such a sloppy personality, thought of taking her to a party with embroidery masters. Did he see what happened just now?

Hua Jin raised her head and smiled at Pei Yan. She thought that this time Pei Yan would turn her head and leave, but she didn't expect him to nod at her.

"Can you come and pick me up that night?" Hua Jin said, "I can't leave now, the shop is busy."

"No problem." Yang Shao nodded, "The flower embroiderer, please take your time. Brother Pei and I will do other things first."

"Well." Hua Jin smiled, turned and walked back to the embroidery frame, took out a thread from the strands, and continued to embroider the unfinished embroidery screen by threading the needle and thread.

"I'll come pick you up at night." Pei Yan walked up to Hua Jin at some point, "By the way, tell me your clothes size."

"Are you going to prepare an evening dress for me?" Hua Jin looked up at Pei Yan and chuckled: "No, there are suitable clothes in the store, which are guaranteed to be a big hit."

"Yeah." Pei Yan glanced at the unfinished double-sided panda embroidery on the embroidery frame. The tiny details on the panda's body were clearly visible, and he could even see the luster on the hair. He couldn't help but glance at it.

She was very careful when embroidering the brocade, even if there were other people watching, it would not affect her state. On the other hand, Pei Yan didn't want to leave looking at Hua Jin Embroidery. If Yang Shao hadn't winked beside him, he would have almost forgotten that he had something to do later.

After leaving the gate of Fanhua Studio, Pei Yan got into the car and said to Yang Shao, who has been rubbing against his car recently, "What's the matter with you recently, you don't even drive your own car?"

"I'm a person who receives salary and no pocket money now." Yang Shao smiled, "I don't want to follow Brother Pei to save some money."

Pei Yan: "..."

"You've grown up, and finally you know what it means to be stingy."

"I wasn't that poor at first, but you know my character, and I hate seeing beautiful women suffer the most. A few days ago, I saw the flower embroiderer eating instant noodles miserably. I couldn't bear it, so I transferred a sum of money to her. In order to make me move forward, my dad doesn't give me more money now, but only pays my salary on time. Without you, Pei, I would hardly be able to live."

"Heh." Pei Yan sneered, "Since you dare to be a hero to save the beauty, why are you afraid of being poor?"

"That's not what I said," Yang Shao said with a bitter face, "Who told Master Hua Embroidery to be so good-looking, with moist eyes and white skin, who would be willing to make such a girl suffer."

Pei Yan glared at him and said nothing.

The car drove for a distance, and when waiting for the traffic light, Pei Yan saw a man crying on the side of the road holding the street lamp post. If it wasn't for the remoteness of this road, it would definitely attract a lot of onlookers.

After passing the traffic light intersection, Pei Yan found a U-turn area and drove the car back.

"Brother Pei, what are you doing?"

Back at the place just now, the crying man hadn't left yet. Pei Yan parked the car on the side of the road, opened the door and got out of the car. When he was about to approach the man, Pei Yan paused, and suddenly didn't want to go any further.

Zhou Dong, who was crying secretly, didn't know that such a cheap road section would make someone notice him. At this moment, he was wrapped in various emotions such as regret, annoyance, and distress, and he was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

It wasn't until the footsteps got closer to him that he hurriedly wiped the tears from his face and prepared to walk in the opposite direction.

"You know Hua Jin?"

Hearing Hua Jin's name mentioned by the visitor, Zhou Dong paused and turned his head cautiously, only to find that the questioner was a man, who was not only outstanding in appearance, but also valuable in his clothes: "I don't understand what you are talking about. "

"I'm her friend." Pei Yan noticed the expression on Zhou Dong's face. The panic and anxiety on the other side's face were invisible under his sight.

"I recognized the wrong person." Zhou Dong guessed that it might be his behavior in the store just now. When this person saw it, he turned his head slightly, avoiding Pei Yan's eyes, "I don't know your friend."

"Really?" Pei Yan leaned against the light pole, "Can you tell me about your friend with the same surname as Hua?"

"Sorry, this gentleman, I'm not interested in telling stories to strangers." Zhou Dong knew that he might not be able to offend such a man, but he has been a fool once in his life, and he doesn't want to be fooled any more, "Farewell. "

Looking at the back of Zhou Dong leaving in a hurry, Pei Yan did not get angry, he lowered his eyelids and looked at the floor tiles under his feet.

He remembered this man. In the hotel in Furong City a few months ago, Hua Jin appeared with him in the elevator. Until today, he asked Hua Jin's name, indicating that Hua Jin did not tell him at that time.

She didn't want this person to know that her name was Hua Jin, indicating that she knew him in the past. When this man knew that Hua Jin might be the person he once knew, it was not the joy of reunion, but guilt and sadness, so he, a man in his twenties, couldn't help crying on the street corner.

How much suffering did Hua Jin go through in the past to make people who once knew show such a reaction?

Pei Yan covered his chest, where the pain was like stabbing needles. He looked blankly at Yang Shao who was running towards him, his eyes showing a bit of confusion.

"Brother Pei, what's the matter with you?" Yang Shao saw that Pei Yan was covering his chest and his face was pale. He remembered to take out his mobile phone, "You can bear with me for a while, and I'll call an ambulance right away."

"I'm fine." Pei Yan held him down and stood up straight, "Let's go."

"Is it really okay?" Yang Shao was a little worried. Brother Pei didn't look like he was okay.

"Well." Pei Yan untied his cuffs and rolled them up.

"Then you sit in the back and rest, and I'll drive."

"Okay." Pei Yan glanced at him and didn't object.

Now Yang Shao is even more worried. He is usually with Brother Pei, and Brother Pei never lets him drive. Today... is this a hit?

After getting in the car, Yang Shao felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little dull, and he didn't dare to let Pei Yan sleep over. What if something happened?

"Brother Pei, I heard that you invested in an online costume drama a few days ago, why did you think of investing in this thing?"

"By the way, make a vote." Pei Yan said, "Why, do you want to play with it?"

"Forget it, the water is deep in this business, and the money I have in my hand is not enough to spit out a bubble." Yang Shao whispered, "When I went out to talk business with my dad a few days ago, I saw Pei Cunhai talking to him. Xu Yi is together."

"Xu Yi doesn't worry about how his son who is still locked up is with Pei Cunhai." Pei Yan sneered.

"It is said that Pei Cunhai sold 2% of Yuanpan's shares to Xu Yi." Yang Shao shook his head and said, "I am afraid that Pei Cunhai will be killed by Xu Yi. I don't know what happened."

"The shopping mall is like a battlefield. No one else has the right to control his own path." Pei Yan's tone was indifferent, "Let him go."

"He made Yuanpan non-staple food like that, you..."

"The so-called taking wealth as an emotional sustenance is actually an excuse for human greed." Pei Yan's tone was still light, "The most important thing my grandfather left me is love and care, and his teachings to me, not those Property. I have so many properties in my name, and there is no shortage of non-staple food."

"You can see it."

"The only inconvenient thing is that I can't give the non-staple food of Yuanpan to someone."

"Who?" Yang Shao thought something was wrong with his ears, "Who is it for?"

However, after his curiosity was raised, Brother Pei stopped talking.

He widened his eyes and looked at Pei Yan in disbelief. What kind of routine is this?

"Huahua, you don't seem to be buying Yuanpan's snacks recently." Tan Yuan opened the refrigerator and found that all the ice cream brands in it were not related to Yuanpan, so she picked a flavor that Huajin liked and handed it to her, "Finally Have you changed your hobby?"

"Well, I'll never buy food from Yuanpan's house again." Hua Jin got up and stretched, unpacking and leaning on the sofa, eating ice cream while being lazy, "I've changed my hobby."

"That...it's good." Tan Yuan sat down beside her. "Are you ready for your party costumes at night?"

"Isn't there a ready-made one?" Hua Jin said, "The cheongsam and shawl, the cheongsam I made for myself last time, I haven't worn it yet."

Tan Yuan smiled: "Alas, Mr. Pei asked you about your size, but you didn't say anything. You actually wear a cheongsam made by yourself, really..."

"Out of the mud and not stained, not confused by money?" Hua Jin chuckled softly, "It's best for people to recognize their own identity and not delusionally think about things that don't belong to them."

"That, today's male customer..."

Hua Jin's hand holding the ice cream stick trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyelids: "he was my high school classmate, I was the first in the class at that time, he always seemed to be hovering in the second or third place. I haven't seen him for several years, it seems He is much more handsome than at that time, and it is really the eighteenth change in the male college, and the more he changes, the better he looks."

Tan Yuan held her free hand and whispered, "Huahua, I will be with you in the future."

"Don't think too much, I just don't want to be involved in the past." Hua Jin smiled at her, "From the day I walked out of the mountains and got on the train here, everything in the past has nothing to do with me."

"Well, you are one of the future heirs of Shu Embroidery, and you have a heavy responsibility."

"Yeah." Hua Jin smiled and raised her eyebrows, "The future star of Shu Embroidery is me."

After eating the ice cream, Hua Jin washed her hands and sold another piece of embroidery before going to the small utility room at the back to change her clothes and make up.

As soon as Hua Jin entered, a new customer came in. Tan Yuan just went up to receive him, and the other party said, "Is the flower embroiderer here?"

This question was not polite. Tan Yuan glanced at the woman who asked the question. The woman was wearing a one-piece work suit and looked a bit like a secretary or an assistant. The man walking in front of her was wearing a suit, which didn't look very Get along well.

"Hello, the embroiderer has something to do, please sit down for a while."

"Hello, my surname is Lu. This is the president of our company. We want to talk to the embroiderer about something."

President?

Tan Yuan glanced at the man who raised his chin slightly and said nothing: "If you two want to order embroidery, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while. The shop's custom order is already scheduled for next year."

"Embroidery?" Pei Cunhai glanced at the items in the store, and the arrogance in his tone did not hide at all, "No need, as long as the embroiderer does one thing for me, I will help you buy this store. ."

Tan Yuan: "..."

She could only quietly watch the president pretend to be forceful.

Hua Jin walked out of the small utility room at the back, saw the people in the store, and pulled the shawl on her body: "Mr. Pei?"

Is this person also surnamed Pei? Tan Yuan couldn't help but look at Pei Cunhai more. It seems that not all men with the surname Pei are beautiful men. Compared with the particularly good-looking Mr. Pei, this Mr. Pei is really far behind.

"Flower embroiderer." Pei Cunhai noticed Hua Jin's dress, "It seems that the flower embroiderer has an important appointment?"

Hua Jin took the sample book and put it in front of Pei Cunhai: "Mr. Pei is Pei Yan's family. If there is anything you like, we can make it for you in advance."

"Heh." Pei Cunhai sneered, but it was just a few pieces of rags embroidered with flowers. He also had to rely on Pei Yan's face to get to the front? Pushing away the heavy sample booklet, Pei Cunhai leaned against the sofa with his legs crossed and said, "I'm not here for the embroidery master's embroidery, but to discuss a business with you."

Looking at the sample album that was pushed away, Hua Jin held the sample album in her hands and smiled politely: "Mr. Pei is really good at joking, I am a person who opened a Shu embroidery studio, apart from talking about embroidery with you, I will There's nothing to talk about."

"I heard that you have a good relationship with that cousin of mine?" Pei Cunhai laughed inexplicably, with a hint of contempt in this laugh, "I heard that my cousin, not only went there specially for you. Participate in some traditional art exhibition, and often accompany you to dinner and pick you up from get off work. The flower embroiderer was born in a poor family, but can let my strange cousin do so many things for you, how can I have nothing to talk about? "

"Maybe it's because you're not as rich or handsome as him." Hua Jin smiled and looked at Pei Cunhai, her white fingers gently resting on her cheeks, with a bit of enchantment, "Even a woman from a poor background, I also like good-looking men."

Pei Cunhai's eyes turned cold, but he laughed out loud: "But no matter how good-looking a man is, it is not as important as money. I think you also understand that as a flower embroiderer, it is impossible to marry Pei Yan as you are, why? Don't want to make more money?"

"Heh." Hua Jin's fingers gently circled the cover of the sample book, but what she said was ironic, "But do you have as much money as Pei Yan?"

"Although I don't have it, but..." Pei Cunhai stretched out his hand, ready to hold Hua Jin's hand on the sample booklet, but Hua Jin lightly avoided him.

He sneered and withdrew his hand, "But as long as you help me with one thing, I can give you more things. I can give you the house, car, household registration here, and fame in the embroidery industry."

"But," Hua Jin tilted her head, her tone was extremely gentle, "I am a very principled person, for example... I don't help greedy and ugly men by nature."

She chuckled softly, her flowery face beautiful and lovely: "Mr. Pei, I hope you have self-knowledge."
