Chapter 53 A Strong Husband (3)
The sunlight at noon was very warm. The sunlight shining in from the glass window spread to You Nian's cheeks, making her skin a little transparent, and the sunlight reflected in her big eyes, looking dazzling and moving.
She asked seriously if "Madam Pei" was a little cute. Pei Ran patted her fingertips and said funnyly: "How many more Madam Pei can I have?"
You Nian also knew that she was stupid, so she stammered, looked at the invitation on the invitation, and chanted softly: "Lu... are you invited by the Lu family?"
"Well, it's Lu Nanzhu's grandfather."
Pei Ran replied to her calmly, and when he mentioned those three words, he also observed You Nian's expression.
She just frowned slightly, and asked him, "Will I go?"
"Do you want to go?" Pei Ran threw the question to her again.
Mr. Pei naturally wanted her to go, otherwise he wouldn't call Pei Ran to talk about this. It was because of that phone call that Pei Ran asked You Nian the person "Lu Nanzhu". Although You Nian did not react too aggressively, he...
Still don't want them to meet.
The two of them have lived a very warm life these two days. When You Nian really trusts Pei Ran, she is as soft as a kitten. She will talk about small things in life towards him, and will act coquettishly towards him, begging him to accompany her to go out to the supermarket or something. Pei Ran has only seen Pei Chu have such treatment before.
After he took her out for dinner last night, You Nian didn't want to go back so early, so she held his hand and walked outside.
The restaurant they had had was in the center of the commercial area. After they came out, they were brightly lit and there were some small vendors around them.
There was a small vendor hanging some shiny things on the stall. When You Nian approached, she found that it was some glitter rings and hair accessories, so she asked Pei Ran to buy her a glitter cartoon ring and a bear hairpin.
You Nian was young, and with this outfit, she looked like a college student who was in college. She wanted to eat candied haws on the street. While Pei Ran was buying them for her, she walked to a store to see the small fish raised in the glass wall.
The lights were hazy at night. When Pei Ran turned around with the candied haws, he saw You Nian wearing a bear hair clipping and teasing the goldfish in the water. At this time, several young men walked out of the restaurant. One of them was wearing a suit and tie and came forward to chat with him. Pei Ran looked lightly and found that he still knew him.
It was at that time that Pei Ran changed his mind.
Because he found that he could not hide her in the true sense. Since that was the case, why didn't he let her appear openly in front of everyone and stamp the seal exclusively for him Pei Ran?
So when the invitation was sent in, he did not avoid her. He had decided to take You Nian to attend Mr. Lu's birthday party, but he still decided to respect You Nian's opinion. If she said she wanted to go, he would take her there again.
"I... listen to you." You Nian didn't quite understand the twists and turns in their shopping malls, nor did she know whether she should go.
The world she saw after her memory was not big. She would have no objection to seeing a bigger scene, but she was not very good at socializing and was worried that it would cause trouble for Pei Ran.
"Pei Ran, have I been there before?" She wanted to know how she did it before.
Pei Ran's eyes flashed, and he closed the invitation in his hand and said, "In the past two years we have been married, you have never attended any banquet with me except on the wedding day."
"Why?"
Actually, Pei Ran also wants to know why.
Although You Nian looks a little introverted, she has been working part-time outside since she went to college, and there is no problem with social skills and dating. Pei Ran can't find a reason for her, so he thought, maybe it's because of the previous sentence-
She doesn't love him.
“…”
Two days later, You Nian accompanied Pei Ran to Mr. Lu's birthday party.
That day, Pei Ran spent more than half of his time choosing a dress for You Nian, and specially invited a makeup artist for her. You Nian was frightened by the scene and suddenly felt a little regretful.
At seven o'clock in the evening, You Nian got out of the car with Pei Ran's hand in his arms.
Because Mr. Lu was in poor health recently, this birthday party was held at his own home. When the car drove up the mountain road, You Nian saw lights flashing not far away. When the car drove closer, she saw that small golden lights were hung on the vegetation on both sides, red carpets were covered on the ground, and there were many luxury cars parked around, which looked very grand.
"How come I feel like a celebrity is walking on the red carpet?" You Nian stepped on the red carpet on the ground and said in a low voice to Pei Ran.
She wore high heels today. Although they were not very tall, she still couldn't adapt to the dress.
In order to take care of You Nian, Pei Ran was not walking fast. Many people came over to talk to Pei Ran along the way. Most of them were curious about who the person next to him was. Pei Ran curled his lips slightly and said with a little pampering look: "Of course it's my wife."
Soon, news spread that Pei Ran had brought his wife to attend today.
The hall of Lu's house is spacious and bright, like a Western European style. There are servants in the crowd holding wine trays. When passing by Pei Ran, he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. You Nian saw that many women in the hall also had it in their hands, so he wanted to take it.
"Want?" Pei Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, took You Nian to the drinking area, and brought her a glass of fruit wine.
Coincidentally, when they passed by, Gao Ge was also there, and a tall woman in a dark blue dress stood beside him. When You Nian approached, she found that the woman was Zhou Nina.
"Oh, why did Brother Ran be willing to bring your little baby out today?" Before seeing the two of them, Gao Ge's face was not very good.
But at this moment, he smiled very temptingly. After holding up his glass and touching Pei Ran, the two of them were talking about things in the mall. When You Nian saw Zhou Nina looking at him, she greeted her.
The atmosphere is a bit... awkward.
In You Nian's impression, Zhou Nina always wore a white coat. Now she is wearing a dark blue dress. The hair she usually tied down has turned into big waves. The makeup on her face is exquisite and the lips are bright red.
He gave You Nian a stiff smile. She walked away from Gao Ge and walked closer to You Nian a few steps, and said softly: "What a coincidence."
Seeing that Zhou Nina was holding a glass of wine in her hand, You Nian touched her like Gao Ge.
No matter what, she was still very happy to see her acquaintance You Nian here. When she was talking to Zhou Nina in a low voice, she saw Xiao Ci coming in from the main entrance. Gao Ge and Pei Ran could naturally see it. You Nian was not far from them. She heard Gao Ge stuttering and muttering to Pei Ran in a low voice: "No wonder you dare to bring You Nian out."
"It turns out that Brother Ci didn't bring the little devil out today."
You Nian looked at Xiao Ci again and found that he really didn't bring his female companion.
The three old men gathered together and talked about business affairs. When You Nian heard it was bored, she went elsewhere with Zhou Nina.
The Lu family held a big birthday party this time, and most of the most popular figures in the mall came over. However, You Nian didn't know these people. Zhou Nina had seen several in the magazine and pointed to a famous actor who was the older generation. You Nian looked in the direction she pointed. The famous actor didn't see him, but saw Lu Nanzhu passing by on the second floor.
In the lobby on the first floor, both men and women were dressed in noble and elegant clothes. However, the legendary heir of the Lu family, dressed in white and black pants, was leisurely and lazy. When he passed by, he didn't look downstairs, pressed his cell phone with one hand, as if calling someone.
You Nian quickly withdrew her gaze. She no longer has any desire for knowledge about Lu Nanzhu.
When she turned to find Pei Ran, she saw Gao Ge and Xiao Ci separated from him. A middle-aged man in a white suit was talking to Pei Ran. There was a beautiful woman beside him. Zhou Nina whispered in her ear: "That man is Mr. Lu's eldest son Lu Changping. The woman is his fifth wife. She used to be a popular star."
"The fifth term?" You Nian focused all on this number.
Although Lu Changping is middle-aged, he has good maintenance. He is gentle and has glasses on his nose, which gives people a very gentleman feeling. Just like this, You Nian can't think of how he has experienced divorce and marriage as many as five times.
"Don't look at him dressed in a well-decorated manner. In fact, he is the son of Mr. Lu the least favorable one." Zhou Nina saw You Nian's doubts and couldn't help but say a few more words to her.
Gossip is a woman's nature, not to mention that Zhou Nina was so bored at this time. She pulled You Nian to sit down in the corner and whispered to her what she knew.
"Don't think that Lu Changping is the eldest in the family. In fact, he has no right to speak in the Lu family. Although he is the eldest son, he has mediocre abilities and no business acumen. Earlier, Mr. Lu only let him join the Lu family for half a year, and then he found a reason to squeeze him out."
Mr. Lu has many sons, but few are particularly outstanding, but Lu Changping is the worst one among them.
As the eldest son, he has no status and power in the Lu family, and his abilities are mediocre, but he still likes to linger in the flowers. When he first divorced his first wife, others didn't think anything. It was not until he divorced for the second time, was exposed to have a violent tendency, cheating during marriage and other scandals that people saw his true face clearly.
"How do you know these?" You Nian had no good feelings for the Lu family, but the Lu family's depth was so powerful that it was just the tip of the iceberg.
Zhou Nina paused for a moment because of Younian’s questions. These things were actually what she heard from Gao Ge before. The name she had just said was now so easy to say. After thinking about it, she said a little uncomfortable: “I heard from a dog man.”
"..." Gao Ge, a dog man who had just walked over, just heard her words, and his face turned dark instantly. He suppressed his anger and smiled at You Nian: "Niannian, your husband is looking for you."
You Nian saw something was wrong with them, nodded slightly and left quickly.
After staying at this banquet for a long time, You Nian's initial tension also dissipated.
She felt that there was nothing she had to do with this banquet today. She was just responsible for standing beside Pei Ran and laughing. She occasionally nodded and then continued with two sentences. Pei Ran asked her to call someone obediently and she shouted, her eyes swam to the decorative vase in the hall. She suddenly felt that she looked like it.
Since it is a birthday party, there is naturally a big cake.
In the early stage, Mr. Lu's sons were greeting guests. It was not until the big cake was launched that Lu Yuanming came down from the stairs with the help of his grandson.
On the right side was Lu Nanzhu, and on the left side was a man of similar age as him. He said he was helping him, but in fact only his grandson on the left was really helping him. Lu Nanzhu looked faint throughout the whole process, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was doing something fake.
"What is the origin of this grandson who has just recognized by the Lu family? Mr. Lu is actually pretending to be fine."
You Nian stood beside Pei Ran and heard the woman behind her mutter in such a low voice.
She had been with Pei Ran for so long, and inevitably drank some wine.
Although it was some fruit wine, she was a little confused after drinking too much. When she tilted her head and looked towards Lu Nanzhu, she found that he had changed the household clothes on her body. At this time, Pei Ran, who was beside her, suddenly moved. You Nian was soon attracted by him and smiled sweetly at him with his arm in his arms.
It was a very boring banquet, and soon after that, You Nian wanted to leave.
Although the Lu family has a guest room for guests, Pei Ran was not going to stay here, but he didn't want to take her home either.
A few days ago, the Widow Zhang who was sent to the hospital in the community was still unrescued. I heard that he had died of breath on the way to the hospital that day. In the past few days, Widow Zhang's home was full of people. Zhao Amei always said that when she was passing by the fourth floor, she heard a little girl crying outside the elevator. The crying sound echoed in the empty space over and over again, which was very cunning.
The little girl is the only relative of Widow Zhang. After her death, the little girl was helpless and didn't know how to live in the future.
But she was still strong. After that, she soon went to school with her schoolbag on her back. You Nian met her several times in the elevator. To be honest, every time she saw her, You Nian felt depressed.
When the two of them came out today, they saw large pieces of white paper sticking on the elevator. When they went down to the fourth floor, the little girl came up. You Nian, who was originally quite happy, suddenly lost her smile. She held Pei Ran's arm and pressed her face against him, looking at the white area a little dazed.
Pei Ran was afraid that she would be stimulated again because of this incident. Thinking of You Nian's behavior today, he tied her hair and asked with her in his arms, "Niannian, can we live outside tonight?"
"Outside?" You Nian walked out with Pei Ran's steps, and met several people who came to say hello on the way.
One of them was the young man who talked to her on the street a few nights ago. He seemed a little embarrassed. When he asked You Nian for a WeChat account, he called him a kiss and warm little beauty. Now in front of Pei Ran, he changed his words to his sister-in-law.
After he left, Pei Ran's expression became a little lighter.
When he came to her with candied haws, his expression was the same. Although he was not happy or annoyed, the force of holding her waist was very strong. You Nian couldn't help but pull the corner of his clothes and carefully called him: "Pei Ran."
"Are we going to sleep in Jingxuan tonight?"
When Pei Ran said he wanted to live outside, You Nian only remembered Jingxuan.
However, he also said yesterday that An Sijing is now fully renovating and has suspended business. I don’t know if there are still people there when they pass by late at night.
"Who said he was going to Jingxuan?" The two of them had already left Lu's house.
When the driver saw them, he quickly opened the car door. Pei Ran first protected You Nian in, and then ordered in a quiet voice: "Go to Qingmen Hotel."
Qing, door, wine, store?!
Four words poured into You Nian's ears. At first she just felt that the name was familiar. After a moment, the car drove down the mountain. You Nian looked at the small lights on the tree outside the window and suddenly remembered something.
"You're talking about that couple...sense?!"
Pei Ran curled You Nian's broken hair around his fingertips, raised a confusing smile, and responded, "I don't know if Manager Wang has changed it according to my request."
“What to replace?”
Seeing that You Nian didn't understand, Pei Ran approached her and said jokingly: "If you are so stupid that you tied yourself up again this time, don't blame me for not untiing it for you."
