Chapter 95
Chapter 72
The probation period has been set for three months, which is Pei Yusheng's proposal, which is quite a period of time.
Qi Ji was able to realize that this was a time that Pei Yusheng had set for himself, and now he has gradually begun to notice the various cares that Pei Man has given him. Reminder to find out.
This is also a bit of progress for Qi Ji.
However, Qi Ji also had his own concerns about the relationship between the two. This concern has nothing to do with Mr. Pei, but is determined by Qi Ji's own experience.
He was too afraid of the pain of losing after gaining it.
Some fears were buried so deeply that they were almost etched into the bone marrow. Qi Ji still can't forget that he was happily preparing for the junior high school exam, and was looking forward to being admitted to S City Middle School to be reunited with his parents, but a new rule came, which completely shattered all hope.
In addition, he was finally admitted to F University in S City during the college entrance examination, but his family owed a lot of debts because he was deceived into guaranteeing. After that, the family situation finally improved, but his parents died in a car accident...
Qi Ji really didn't want to experience that kind of gap again.
He couldn't bear it.
That's why he avoids ending by refusing to begin. Qi Jiben is not a pessimist, but after experiencing this, he does not dare to be optimistic.
In the end, it was Pei Yusheng's actions for so long that gave Qi Ji the courage to face it.
Qi Ji now finally decided to solve it instead of escaping, but he didn't know if he could do it well.
He could only try it out.
Just when Qi Ji was thinking about the trial period, the people from the Xinghai general design team came.
There is more than one design department in charge of the Qingpu Lake Park. Qi Ji used to work with seniors from the company's design department, while the Xinghai general design team is led by Lina, the group of people Qi Ji met when he went to the studio for an internship.
When he left after work, the team members even held a farewell party for Qi. So this time when they came over, Qi Ji also took the initiative to greet them, and also had a meal with everyone in Qingpu Lake Park.
There were many familiar faces at the dinner table, but the most conspicuous one was not there. Sitting together with Zheng Hang, Qi Ji and Zheng Hang couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't you see Lina?"
"You asked Boss?" Zheng Hang said, "She came over the day after tomorrow, and has been to Lin Wan's place in the past two days."
Lin Wan?
Qi Ji thought for a while, he remembered that this was a designer under Lina.
"Is there any other work?"
"No. Oh yes," Zheng Hang patted his forehead, "Xiao Qi, don't you know yet, Boss and Lin Wan are together."
Qi Ji didn't respond for a while: "Huh?"
together...?
But doesn't Lina like Aunt Xu?
"Lin Wan, have you forgotten? I mentioned it to you," Zheng Hang reminded him, "it's the young female designer who was scolded by Boss like you, and she was scolded and cried more than once."
"That's what I said at the time. Boss is so strict because of his love for talent, not against you on purpose. That's not it, she is with Lin Wan," Zheng Hang said with an expression he had already seen through, "Boss is the mouth of a knife, In fact, the strict requirements are also because of the emphasis on ability.β
Qi Ji was still in a daze, as if he hadn't been able to digest the news.
"What's wrong, Xiao Qi?" Zheng Hang was a little puzzled by Qi Ji's reaction. He scratched his hair and asked carefully, "You... don't accept homosexuality?"
Only then did Qi Ji return to his senses and shook his head; "No."
He forced a smile and followed what Zheng Hang just said: "I just didn't expect it. I thought Lina would scold me like that because I was an intern who was forced in."
This is what Zhou Li said when he accused Qi Ji.
"How is that possible!" Zheng Hang patted Qi Ji's shoulder, "Boss is a true lover, don't think too much."
He joked: "You can see Lin Wan's situation. If she doesn't like you, she will scold you, and she definitely doesn't like Lin Wan. How can she be with Lin Wan now? It's okay, don't. suspicious."
Qi Ji listened and responded in a low voice.
It just so happened that the dish was served, and the topic came to an end.
The dishes are exquisite and the taste is excellent. Qi Ji thought about it while eating, and Zhou Li's statement was completely debunked. His work performance did not depend on the help of others...
But no matter how hard Qi Ji tried not to think about it, he still couldn't avoid the little fear that kept pouring out of his heart.
Lina, who has been in love with Xu Yunchi for so long, is actually with someone else.
Qi Ji recalled the sight of Lina's drunkenness that night he witnessed with his own eyes. Before that, he never thought that Lina, who has always been maverick, would actually lose her temper because of emotional problems.
Similarly, after that, Qi Ji never thought that Lina would easily give up her feelings for Xu Yunchi.
But it was such a strong feeling that the person who was deeply trapped in it finally came out.
Qi Ji knew that he was not qualified to evaluate other people's choices. Emotions are like drinking water, and they know whether they are cold or warm. But to say that the mentality is not affected is false.
Besides, Qi Ji is still worried about her relationship.
... He really didn't expect that he would hear the news that Lina gave up so soon.
More than 20 years of unrequited love, it is not easy to persist, but once you give up, it is even more mixed.
Twenty years of love is still like this.
What about Qi Shi himself?
***
When Qi Ji went to work, Pei Yusheng was on his way back to Xu's house.
The main residence of the Xu family is in Xiangjiang, and many relatives are still developing in Xiangjiang. But the Xu family's ancestral home is actually in S City. After gaining a firm foothold, the Xu family bought back the old house they originally lived in, and bought a large manor in a suitable location. The four brothers and sisters will live here when they return to S City. place.
The four of them were busy and lived here for a limited time, so Pei Yusheng didn't stay here for too long. But compared to the Pei family, Pei Yusheng still prefers the family atmosphere of the Xu family.
This time, Pei Yusheng was called back by Xu Yunchi. He just finished a high-intensity video conference that lasted for six hours, and his spirits are not very good. It is not because of work, but because he is not feeling well, maybe because of drinking before the wound has healed.
But Pei Yusheng didn't pay much attention to it. With Qi Ji, he was in a good mood these days, enough to offset the tiredness.
However, Xu Yunchi's state was somewhat inferior to his.
When Pei Yusheng pushed the door and walked into the study, Xu Yunchi had just finished a phone call. Not long after she returned to China, Xu Shi's call was not very smooth, and the tired look between her brows and eyes could not be well concealed.
It was only when she saw Pei Yusheng that her beautiful face showed a little look: "Yu Sheng, you're back."
Pei Yusheng responded, pulled out the leather chair and sat down opposite the desk. He raised his chin slightly, gestured towards the phone, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Xu Yunchi didn't want to say anything at first, but under Pei Yusheng's calm gaze, she still gave a wry smile and said, "It's really nothing, it's your second uncle's call."
Pei Yusheng asked, "What about the company?"
His second uncle is the chairman of Xinghai.
Xu Yunchi pursed his light-colored thin lips and shook his head: "No, I plan to go to City B, the second brother is against me..."
Hearing City B, Pei Yusheng's expression instantly turned cold.
His tone was still steady, but decisive: "I am also against it."
Xu Yunchi looked at him, a look of worry appeared between his delicate eyebrows: "Yu Sheng."
She sighed lowly: "I know, you and your dad have always been in conflict. I have never been on his side in this matter, so after you retire, I will insist on leaving City B and separate from him, wanting to make Calm down and think about it."
Hearing that "your dad", Pei Yusheng's expression turned even colder.
For that man, Pei Yusheng was bored even hearing a name.
Xu Yunchi's departure was indeed the greatest punishment for Pei Xiaolin, but Pei Yusheng only felt that he deserved it. Xu Yunchi also knew that her son did not want to hear news related to her husband, but she had to say these words: "But things still have to be resolved."
"Will it help him a little to solve the problem?" Pei Yusheng sneered coldly, "It will only fuel his arrogance."
"Then you can't keep dragging it on like this. The last time he did something to you..."
Thinking of the result of the last time the two of them started, Xu Yunchi paused, sighed, and said, "I have no objection to cut off your relationship with him, but this is not the solution."
Pei Yusheng said coldly, "For me, severing the father-son relationship is the best solution."
Xu Yunchi's thin lips parted slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up.
"I know it's his fault, and I'll go talk to him." Xu Yunchi lowered his voice, "Yu Sheng, you don't have to be too nervous, I'll find someone to protect Xiao Qi, so it won't be affected. he."
Although Pei Yusheng knew that he would not let Qi Ji fail, he did not refuse Xu Yunchi's help.
For Pei Xiaolin, only lovers are his weakness.
"You can talk to him on the phone," Pei Yu said firmly. "Xinghai has been busy with business recently, so it's troublesome to go to City B."
Xu Yunchi smiled bitterly: "Yu Sheng, you know, I went to see him because of his insomnia..."
Pei Yusheng frowned, but remembering that the other party had just mentioned to help Qi Ji, he still managed to suppress his anger and said, "Then you don't need to run away, won't he come?"
"Big brother and second brother all know what he did to you." Xu Yunchi said, "They said that if he dared to come to S City again, he would come to the door in person and settle the account with him in person."
Speaking of which, she looked at Pei Yusheng worriedly: "Yu Sheng, your injury..."
Even though the doctor had learned about all the injuries in detail, the mother still couldn't let go of her concern for her child.
Pei Yusheng shook his head: "I'm fine, the injury is almost healed."
Besides, this was his own initiative, and Pei Yusheng didn't have any sighs in his heart about the injury on his back.
"I brought you new medicine, and I have already sent half of it to Ming Zhen." Xu Yunchi asked, "Do you want to change the medicine now? Or will I help you?"
"No, Mom, I just changed it this morning." Pei Yu said, "I've had a good rest these days, so don't worry."
Hearing what he said, Xu Yunchi caught something: "Is it Xiao Qi's credit?"
Pei Yusheng didn't hide it: "Well."
Xu Yunchi cheered up, smiled, and asked, "How are you and Xiao Qi, how is he recently?"
"It's good." Pei Yu said, "He has agreed to give me a trial period."
"That's good."
Xu Yunchi was also very pleased with the progress of his son's relationship. She suggested, "When you are free, bring Xiao Qi to the house to sit and sit."
"Wait for him to get used to it." Pei Yusheng didn't refuse. He asked, "Mom, what are you calling me for today?"
He had been talking about the phone just now, but he hadn't asked why he was called.
Xu Yunchi's smile faded slightly, and after a pause, he said, "Actually, I called you here because of Xiao Qi's business."
Pei Yusheng asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yunchi paused for a while before finally speaking: "Yu Sheng, I went back to China yesterday and met Zhou Li on the way."
Pei Yusheng frowned, his expression not very good: "What is he trying to do?"
Zhou Li was Pei Yusheng's former special assistant in Yuntu and Pei Xiaolin's. He participated in the surveillance of Pei Yusheng a lot. If he hadn't been called away by Pei Xiaolin in advance, Pei Yusheng would definitely not have let him go easily.
Xu Yunchi reassured: "Yu Sheng, I know you don't like him, but if it wasn't for his notice, I wouldn't have known the news in advance to help you get rid of your dad's surveillance."
Although Pei Yusheng knew this, he still didn't speak very well when he remembered what Zhou Li said to Qi Ji in the surveillance: "Is he looking for you?"
Xu Yunchi lowered his expression, hesitated again, and said, "I saw in the document I got from Zhou Li... You turned on the surveillance camera in the room where Xiao Qi lived."
Pei Yusheng frowned.
Xu Yunchi explained: "You can only see the monitoring information in the file, but you can't see the specific video content. You don't have to worry about this. The security system has not been invaded to such a deep level."
"...But the opening time can be seen in the information." She paused and asked, "Yu Sheng, you..."
Pei Yusheng's face was gloomy, but he still didn't speak.
Xu Yunchi also understood.
She sighed silently, and after thinking for a moment, she finally said, "Yu Sheng, after thinking about it for a long time, my mother would like to remind you that this is not suitable even for the person you like..."
"this is not good."
Pei Yusheng was silent for a long time before he said, "I want to see him."
At that time, Qi Ji, who was drugged, had just woken up, and his physical condition was not stable. While Pei Yusheng was worried about him, he was also busy dealing with the Jiang family, accumulating bargaining chips for him to be free from Pei's father's control in the future.
He just wanted to see his little friend.
I was also worried that if didn't take good care of it, the children would be uncomfortable in the middle of the night.
Hearing Pei Yusheng say such words personally, Xu Yunchi, who has always been worried that his son is not interested in anything, can't help but have mixed feelings.
When she saw Qi Ji in person before, she knew that this was the first time her son had been so attentive to others.
But that's exactly why, as a mother, Xu Yunchi had to remind Pei Yusheng.
"Yu Sheng, I don't know if you have thought about this."
Xu Yunchi lowered his voice. But her words did not lose the slightest weight.
"If Xiao Qi doesn't want to continue and wants to leave you..."
She asked, "Will you give him a chance to leave?"
This question directly hit Pei Yusheng's most sensitive nerve. His forehead jumped suddenly, and his voice couldn't help raising his voice: "Why should I let him go?"
Xu Yunchi stretched out his hand and gently covered the back of his son's blue veins across the desk.
"Yu Sheng, you have to know that it's two different things for him to stay because of his feelings, and for him to stay because he can't leave."
Pei Yusheng's fingers clenched tightly, his nails sinking deep into his palm.
After a long time, he took a deep breath.
Pei Yusheng's voice has calmed down: "I haven't forced him, and I won't in the future. He has been hurt in this regard. If I force him, what's the difference between those who hurt him?"
"I just like him." Pei Yusheng said, "I don't want him to leave, but I will respect his opinion."
Xu Yunchi listened silently, and to this answer that was supposed to be gratifying, a worry gradually appeared in her eyes.
"I know you've done a good job, and always have been." She said, "Mom said this without being funny, and just wanted to give you a reminder, for fear that you will regret it later."
Pei Yusheng frowned.
Why do you regret it?
"When I saw the surveillance information, I didn't want to think about it too complicated."
Xu Yunchi took a slow breath and said, "But you know what? Yu Sheng, it's not the first time I've seen people through surveillance all night."
She raised her eyes to look at Pei Yusheng, and her eyes could not hide the worry: "Your father used this method to look at me for a long time."
Pei Yu paused.
Xu Yunchi spoke softly, but his gentle voice seemed to be wrapped in a dense rain and fog.
"Your dad doesn't want anyone close to me, whether it's the opposite sex or the same sex. I'm fine when I'm around him, and he can control his temper. But when I'm not around, he gets irritable and suspicious. ."
Pei Yusheng listened, only to feel that he was also shrouded in the thick rain and fog, unable to breathe smoothly.
He wanted to refute, but he couldn't speak, so he could only listen to Xu Yunchi continue to speak.
"In the past, you couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and your condition was very bad. Lian Qing went to the villa to find someone, afraid that you would lose control, so I informed him." Xu Yunchi asked, "You know why I knew in advance. Could something happen to you?"
Pei Yusheng: "..."
He vaguely sensed something, but didn't want to believe it.
Xu Yunchi lowered his watery eyes and helped him confirm the answer: "Because at that time, your father also had a seizure."
Pei Yusheng held a bloodstain in his palm.
"After all, blood is connected." Xu Yunchi whispered, "The symptoms of your insomnia have always been very similar."
"It's the same with him. He can only sleep when I'm around."
...Yes, they are exactly the same.
This was something Pei Yusheng didn't want to admit, but had to face.
ββThe person he hates the most is so similar to him.
"Yu Sheng, I still have the Xu family and Xinghai. I can sit down and talk with your dad on an equal footing. We can make three chapters of the law, or we can choose to divorce, so that he can no longer disturb my life."
Xu Yunchi asked softly.
"But what about Xiao Qi?"
Her words were like lightning that broke through the sky in the dark night, one after another, precisely hitting Pei Yusheng's heart.
"Have you thought about Xiao Qi's conditions?"
The room suddenly fell silent.
Xu Yunchi was talking about the worst situation, but it was such a real reality. If there is no love, she can leave at any time, she can make Pei Xiaolin never find herself, and then fly away and live the life she wants to live.
But Qi can't send it.
He couldn't protect himself.
To be more precise, he couldn't protect himself in front of Pei Yusheng.
As long as Pei Yusheng thought about it, he would definitely find Qi Ji.
Now Pei Yusheng is rational, will respect Qi Ji's opinion, and will let him go. But Pei Yusheng has been out of control. If he has another attack because of Qi Ji's departure - what kind of treatment will Qi Ji encounter at that time?
This question makes people instinctively reluctant to think about it.
But have to think about it.
Xu Yunchi has been thinking about it for a long time. She knows that she shouldn't give her son a blow when he is happiest, but she can't help but mention it.
This is the responsibility of a mother.
But seeing the silent appearance of her son in front of her, Xu Yunchi couldn't be more ruthless. The matter could be solved slowly, she didn't want to force the other party any more.
So she smiled a little, slowed down her voice, and said, "But mom also knows that you are calm now. Your dad was not so rational back then. You are much better than him now."
"And I also noticed that the monitoring information was more than two months ago. At that time, your relationship may not have been too mature. Now, you may have done better."
She comforted: "I said this today, just to give you a reminder in advance. In fact, it may not be as serious as I imagined..."
Xu Yunchi was talking, but suddenly he heard Pei Yusheng's low voice.
"I'll give it to him."
Xu Yunchi was stunned for a moment; "What?"
Pei Yusheng raised his eyes and looked calm: "I will give him the right to leave me."
There was no fiery tone when he spoke, no generous oath.
He was just stating a fact.
I will always respect his wishes.
If I may hurt him in the future, then I will forge my sword in advance.
Send him armor.
