Chapter 836: Chapter 022: it doesn’t have to be him
The private room was very quiet. Su Peizhen lowered her head so that no one could see her expression clearly.
Su Chenghui was afraid that Su Peizhen would disagree, so he told her about a project he was working on. “Or you can join as a participant. If you’re willing, I’ll email you the information when I get back. How about it?”
“We’ll see.”
Su Peizhen did not agree immediately. Su Chenghui was a little disappointed, but he was not in a hurry.
The waiter began to serve the food. The father and daughter ate quietly. Su Chenghui occasionally picked up food for Su Peizhen and told her about the recent events in Lin City.
Of course, those things had nothing to do with the Li family. Su Peizhen was only responsible for listening, but she did not say anything.
Putting down his chopsticks, Su Chenghui poured su peizhen a cup of tea. “Are you really not considering coming to help dad?”
“No.”Su Peizhen picked up the Teacup and felt the warmth in her palm. “Dad, I have something to do now. Although the two department stores are small, it’s just right for me. As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later.”
Su Chenghui was silent for a while, then poured himself a cup of tea. He looked up at Su Peizhen with a gentle expression. “Peizhen, I know you may not believe me when I say this, but I’m serious. Your talent should be buried.”
Su Peizhen finished the tea in the cup and put it down. She looked at Su Chenghui. “Dad.”. There’s really no need. I’m living very well now. I know that I’m no longer the young miss of the Su family from before. I’m not thinking of going back. Whether it’s You or my mother, you don’t have to feel guilty. What I’ve lost, what I’ve lost. I really want it. I’ll get it back bit by bit through my own efforts. I don’t need your pity.”
“Why is it pity?”Su Chenghui was very shocked by Su Peizhen’s words. “Peizhen. You’re my daughter. “I know what is best for you. “I am just like all fathers in the world. “I want to give my daughter the best. “Peizhen, don’t think that I don’t care about you anymore. “Impossible. “No matter what, you will always be my daughter. “Always will be.”
Su Peizhen still lowered her head, but her expression was a little moved.
She raised her head and looked at Su Chenghui. They had been father and daughter for many years. Su Chenghui’s words were true. She knew.
“Thank you, Dad.”
“You are my daughter. Why are you thanking me?”Su Chenghui’s attitude was extremely friendly and serious.
Su Chenghui had gotten rid of the mistakes he made when he was young. In some ways, he was a qualified father. Su Peizhen knew.
“I have a lot of businesses in Rongcheng. What I said just now was also serious. It’s okay if you don’t want to take over. If you have other thoughts, you can tell me anytime. Dad will always support you.”
“Okay.”
Su Peizhen’s eyes were a little sour. She lowered her head and suppressed that emotion.
After leaving Mei Garden and bidding farewell to Su Chenghui, Su Peizhen did not go home immediately. Instead, she went to the company to take a look.
The lantern festival had just passed. People were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the new year. The company’s activities were very grand. Whether online or offline, business was good.
Su Peizhen finished reading the report and sat in the office, feeling a little bored. It was indeed not difficult for her to manage these things.
Thinking of Su Chenghui’s words, she knew that what he said was true. Compared to Xiang caiping, Su Chenghui was undoubtedly more aware of her ambitions.
But that kind of ambition was only in the past. Now, she had already lost that ambition.
Su Peizhen shook her head when she found that she was actually in the office feeling sad. Chicken soup was really not suitable for her.
When she returned to Rong Garden, Su Peizhen found that Ling Jing was not there.
She frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Zhao who was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
“Where is he?”
She did not say who he was, but she believed that Xiao Zhao would understand.
“You Mean Mr. Ling? He left.”When they were arguing, Xiao Zhao was cleaning up in the kitchen and did not hear them.
“Not long after you left, Mr. Ling left.”After saying this, Xiao Zhao looked at Su Peizhen’s face carefully. “He seemed to be very angry when he left.”
Angry? What was there to be angry about with that man?
Su Peizhen didn’t take Ling Jing’s anger to heart. She was just angry that she didn’t accompany him. At worst, she could accompany him for another day tomorrow.
However, Su Peizhen didn’t expect that Ling Jing didn’t come back that day. Not only did he not come back, he didn’t come back the next day either.
Su Peizhen, who hadn’t seen Ling Jing for two days after returning to Rong City, seriously thought about the conflict between the two of them that day.
It was true that she broke her promise, but did Ling Jing take her too seriously?
Since he had such a bad temper, she would just leave him alone for a few days.
Su Peizhen didn’t take this matter to heart at all. She didn’t even call or send a message to Ling Jing.
In the blink of an eye, she returned to the villa where Xiang caiping lived. She didn’t return for two days. Xiang caiping was so happy to see her back.
Xiang caiping didn’t dare to care about her daughter at all. It wasn’t that she didn’t want her daughter to come back to accompany her, but she didn’t want her daughter to be unhappy.
She was very happy that Su Peizhen was back. If Su Peizhen did not come back, she would just wait.
As a mother, she had no choice but to do so. Su Peizhen was a shrewd person and had seen all kinds of people. Towards Xiang caiping’s subtle feelings, which were between compensation and guilt, she could completely see it.
She could see it, but she could not understand it.
She really did not understand why there were always people who were obsessed with the past. Based on the average life expectancy of the current person, Xiang caiping could at least live for another 20 to 30 years. If she couldn’t accept it, Su Peizhen couldn’t either.
Su Peizhen still woke up early every day when she lived in the villa, but the result of waking up early here was that she could go outside to exercise.
Rongcheng on the first month was actually very cold.
When she woke up early in the morning, Su Peizhen changed into a thick white sportswear and went out for a run. It was still very cold outside. She ran very slowly, but not fast either.
There was really nothing to see in the residential area in early spring. Even though their residential area was considered a villa area, they had also spent a lot of effort to get some green plants.
But compared to the beauty of Forest City, it still looked simple and boring. After a round of running, the sun slowly rose.
She was about to go home when she saw the golden hair again. The golden hair saw her inexplicably excited and rushed towards her.
Su Peizhen stopped in her tracks and stood there without moving. The golden retriever pounced on her unceremoniously.
Just as it was about to pounce on Su Peizhen, the dog leash on his neck was held by someone. It failed to pounce on Su Peizhen, so it barked in dissatisfaction.
“Dian Dian.”
A gentle male voice sounded. Lin feixing came around from behind the shadow of the tree. When he saw Su Peizhen, he nodded at her. “Miss Su.”
He was also wearing a sportswear, and it was very coincidental. He was wearing white. However, Su Peizhen ignored him.
“Okay.”Su Peizhen responded as a greeting. She walked past Lin Feixing and wanted to leave, but he grabbed her hand at that moment.
“Miss Su?”
“What’s the matter?”Seeing his hand grabbing hers, Su Peizhen subconsciously frowned. Lin feixing seemed to have reacted and quickly let go of her hand. “Sorry.”
He was a little uncomfortable, but seeing Su Peizhen’s cold expression, he couldn’t help but say, “Miss Su, I’ve thought about what you said the other day.”
That day? Which Day?
Su Peizhen took some time to remember which day he was referring to. She didn’t say anything and just looked at Lin Feixing.
His face, which was full of elite demeanor, was now filled with a hint of nervousness.
“Miss Su, I think that everyone has a past. It’s not a big deal.”
“Your past is the past, and now is the present. I don’t Beg for your past. I only want your present, and your future.”
..
Su Peizhen was stunned for a moment. The golden hair beside her feet was still rubbing against her pant leg, and she was momentarily stunned.
“Mr. Lin –”
“You can call me feixing.”Lin feixing seemed to have finally summoned up the courage to finish what she wanted to say. In the end, she was a little embarrassed.
“I admit that I was a little conflicted at the beginning. “But I don’t have the right to criticize you. “I also had a girlfriend overseas. “We broke up because of a relationship that didn’t work out. Although we met a suitable one later on, we got along with two of them. “Later on, because they were going back to China, the relationship ended
“I think that they could be broken off so easily because those feelings weren’t deep. “When you told me that day, I was indeed very surprised. “But these past few days, I’ve been thinking of you. “Peizhen, can I Call You Peizhen?”
Lin feixing’s gaze was filled with hidden eagerness.
Su Peizhen did not know what to say. The golden fur seemed to have infected its owner’s emotions. It barked a few times and became even more cheerful.
“Peizhen, I’m not a child. I believe that you’re not either. Mature men and women will naturally have their own ways of solving problems and handling problems. So, I want to say, can you give me a Chance?”
Su Peizhen was not in a hurry to answer. The Lin Feixing in front of her was undoubtedly a very good marriage partner.
He had good conditions, good looks, and most importantly, he did not mind her past.
She admitted that she had a good eye for people. When Lin Feixing spoke to her, his eyes were open. It could be seen that what he said was true, and he really did not mind.
She looked down at the golden-haired man who was enjoying himself at her feet and frowned slightly.
“Even if I’ve been in prison?”
“Yes.”Lin feixing nodded. “Being in prison is a punishment. No matter what you’ve done, since you’ve been punished, it’s in the past.”
Su Peizhen didn’t say anything. This was the truth. Prison life was God’s punishment for her. She had already suffered that result, so she did not feel that she had anything to regret.
However, Lin Feixing’s words really surprised her. For a moment, she did not know which answer was more correct.
“You don’t have to rush to give an answer.”Lin feixing saw that she did not speak for a long time. She was afraid that she would be too conflicted, so she quickly gave her a way out. “I can wait for you. Really.”
Su Peizhen blinked her eyes and looked up. She met Lin Feixing’s fervent gaze and was a little puzzled. “You Like Me?”
The man standing opposite her actually blushed. Su Peizhen did not want his answer. She looked at him and took a step forward. “What do you like about me?”
Just this appearance? Just this face of hers?
She had once read a sentence. All Love at first sight was based on lust.
Although she was not in a state of panic, she really did not have the energy to manage a relationship.
“You might think that I’m exaggerating when I say love at first sight, but some things are just like that. If you can explain everything about a relationship, how can there be so many lovesick men and women in this world?”
These words made sense. Su Peizhen nodded. “Mr. Lin, I can’t give you an answer now. Can you think about it for a while? Is that okay?”
“Of course.”Lin feixing smiled. Seeing that Su Peizhen was about to leave, he stopped her again and took out his phone.
“Peizhen, although you need time to think about it, can you add me as a friend First?”
Su Peizhen looked at the anxiety in his eyes. In the end, she didn’t reject him. It was just one more friend. She didn’t have a burden.
..
When they returned to the villa and had dinner, Xiang caiping looked at Su Peizhen with a face full of hesitation.
“Mom, do you have something on?”
“No.”Xiang caiping quickly shook her head. “Just now, I think I saw Lin Feixing looking for you upstairs? He came to the house last time and came twice. Peizhen, you –”
“He came twice?”Su Peizhen did not hear Xiang caiping. Now that she heard him mention it, she was not surprised. “Yes, he was looking for me just now and said that he doesn’t mind my matters.”
“Is that right? He came to the house and said the same thing.”
Xiang caiping’s voice had a hint of anticipation. “Peizhen, you said it yourself. You said that if Lin Feixing doesn’t mind your past, you would give him a chance?”
It wasn’t that she was impatient, but Xiang caiping really didn’t want to lose such a good son-in-law candidate.
“I remember. I’ve already given him the contact details. As for the future, we’ll talk about it later.”
“Okay, okay, that’s good. That’s good.”
It was best if they could contact each other. Xiang caiping’s face was full of anticipation, afraid that Su Peizhen would miss out on a good marriage.
Su Peizhen could not understand this kind of thinking, and she did not want to continue this topic. After eating, she went to work.
Although SU Peizhen did not want to accept Su Chenghui’s business in Rongcheng, when he sent the information to her email, she still read it very seriously.
It had to be said that at Su Chenghui’s age. He had experience, experience, and insight.
This project was indeed not bad. Su Peizhen was indeed interested. However, if it was just for Su Chenghui, there would be something missing.
She just happened to have a sum of money on hand. If she participated as a shareholder, it would be a good choice.
After calculating the money she had left from buying the house last time, Su Peizhen gave Su Chenghui a call. She asked about the details of the operation. In the end, she asked for money and someone else.
Su Chenghui knew that she was a part of the bargaining chip.
Su Chenghui was very happy that his daughter was willing to take over the company. He set up some details with Su Peizhen and even met with a third party’s partner to introduce Su Peizhen’s identity.
In this way, Su Peizhen became busy again. After she was done with this week. After she finished all the information and finished the procedures, it was already ten days later.
The first month was almost over, and she had not seen Ling Jing for almost half a month.
When Su Peizhen finished work that day, she suddenly remembered that she had been quite tense recently, and she needed to relax.
As for how to relax? Could there be anything more relaxing than yin-yang harmony?
She gave Ling Jing a call, but Ling Jing didn’t pick up.
Su Peizhen frowned. She really didn’t know that the gigolo she raised had such a big temper.
She originally didn’t want to pay attention to it, but she had more or less broken her promise that day. It was rare for Su Peizhen to be patient and give Ling Jing a second call.
If the other party still didn’t pick up, she could only break off this relationship. She didn’t have to depend on him.
