Chapter 347
When Jiang se accompanied Feng Zhongliang to visit the PEI family, he was the one who sent the two of them the furthest. Many of his memories were of the car she was in driving away, and he had stood there for a long time to watch it.
Whenever he spoke to her, she would always hang up, and he would listen to the busy tone on the phone.
He followed her footsteps, looked at the books she was reading, and ate in the restaurants she had once eaten. walk the path you once walked and study in the school you once attended. But every time, she would graduate while he was still in the same place.
When she didn’t know what she was thinking, he was always anxious, but he didn’t know what to do to make her notice him.
At that time, PEI Yi was in a dilemma. Despair and hope were always mixed together, like a tug-of-war. On one side, he knew that no matter what he did, she was a few years older than him and would always see him as a younger brother. On the other side, he always wanted to persuade him to give up.
On the other hand, they always held onto a glimmer of hope, hoping that a miracle would happen one day.
He understood the feeling of anticipation. Therefore, the moment he saw Jiang se, he felt that the expression on her face was somewhat familiar. When he recalled it later, he realized that it resembled him.
That was what she was looking forward to. She didn’t say it, but in her heart, she still hoped to get a response from ‘her’ past.
“I am?”
Jiang se mumbled a question. He hummed in acknowledgment.
“Yes, I am. So, how can I not look for you? The biggest mistake I made was that I went to France that year.”
That time, he almost lost her. It wasn’t a noisy loss, but a real loss.
He did not dare to imagine the day when he returned from France and saw ‘Feng Nan’, only to find out that she had become a completely different person. How would he be able to bear the loss?
What PEI Yi had done the best was to muster the courage to confess to her after she had been reborn. He had taken advantage of her helpless moment to pull her into his arms.
“I’m sorry,” she said.
Jiang se calmed down and apologized softly. She had lost control of her emotions earlier and called him on impulse. Now that she realized that she had been unreasonable, she quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
“I shouldn’t have said such things.”
“I like it.”
PEI Yi leaned against the wall and suppressed the slight joy in his heart. This was the first time Jiang se had thrown a tantrum at him. It was a very novel feeling. He said in high spirits, ”
“Do you remember the pile of camera equipment at home?”
Jiang se nodded. of course I remember.
He had used this pile of items to trick her into going to his house for the first time. Actually, it was also because she knew PEI Yi and knew what kind of person he was that his ‘scheme’ had succeeded so smoothly.
“That belongs to Xiang qiuran.” He mentioned that Xiang qiuran was chasing after a small-time model in the entertainment industry and even opened an entertainment company for her. She supported her for a while and gave her some resources to make a name for herself. However, the good times did not last long and Xiang qiuran soon lost interest.
At that time, Xiang qiuran had unintentionally mentioned that after the young model was successfully won over, she seemed to have changed into a different person. She would throw a tantrum and ask people to coax her. A young master like him had never done anything like coaxing people. He was too lazy to even lower his status and finally broke up with her.
PEI Yi was envious of Xiang qiuran when he heard that.
Jiang se was too calm. He had hoped that she would occasionally throw a tantrum at him so that he could have a chance to coax her.
“I like Sese like this.” He said honeyed words with confidence, ”
“I like it when you act coquettishly with me, when you lose your temper, and when you say you like me. But what I like most is when Sese calls me when she’s sad. I’m so happy.”
His words made Jiang se blush. She turned to grab her bag and pulled out a tissue to wipe her face. She could not help but say, ”
“How do you know I’m feeling uncomfortable?”
“My Sese will never cry.”
He knew her very well, more than anyone else. she’s not one to admit defeat. She’ll try her best and never give up when she’s in trouble. She was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She had never been someone who cried easily. Even if she was in a difficult situation after her rebirth, she could overcome it and live the life she wanted.
However, when she called, she sounded delicate and had a sobbing tone.
PEI Yi knew her very well. When he said this, Jiang se felt tears in her eyes again.
She sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, ”
“Because sometimes, tears are useless.”
As she said this, she looked at her hand and pursed her lips.
“Yi, I went to see my grandfather.”
She wanted to cry again, but she quickly took a deep breath and held it back.
“I had lunch at home.” When she mentioned lunch and candy, she refused to throw them away. When she mentioned what mother Wang had unintentionally said, she recalled the past and could not help but call PEI Yi.
She didn’t say much about the kidnapping. She wasn’t used to complaining to others. She liked to wrap herself up thick most of the time, not allowing others to pry into her heart.
PEI Yi had also vaguely heard that Feng Nan had been kidnapped back then. However, she had returned alive and well, so he did not take it to heart.
Hearing it from an elder was completely different from hearing it from her. She didn’t throw away the bowl of candy, which made his heart ache. When he thought of the kidnappers, he clenched his fists so hard that they made cracking sounds.
“Did you catch the kidnappers?”
“I caught him from behind.” She smiled and said, ” because of my grandfather, my family members forbid me from mentioning this in front of me.
She had almost been killed, experienced a few days and nights of fear, and almost died in that house. After Feng Zhongliang returned to the Feng family, he forbade his family from mentioning the kidnapping.
In addition, the Feng family was well-known in Hong Kong, so this matter was suppressed. The small newspapers mentioned it sporadically, but it was quickly refreshed by other news.
Due to Feng Zhongliang’s special status, the court did not hold a public trial. Feng Nan did not deliberately inquire about it after the incident. She only vaguely knew that there were nine kidnappers involved in the case, including her driver and servant. Five of them were charged with kidnapping, and the other three were accomplices who were charged with covering up and concealing the crime.
Feng Zhongliang had once pressured the Hong Kong’s legal system, and the main culprit was finally sentenced to 19 years in prison.
19 years of Hanhan. she was very young when she was kidnapped. Looking at the time, even if she did not get a sentence reduced, she should be out of prison by now.
“I’ll ask my grandfather later.”
PEI Yi’s voice was a little gloomy, clearly intending to settle the score. He was a little depressed that he was too young at that time and wasn’t the one to save her. If it was now, he would definitely do his best to protect her.
...
Initially, he wanted to ask Jiang se if she still remembered any information about the kidnappers. However, he did not want her to recall any unpleasant memories.
Truth be told, Jiang se could not really remember. Now that she thought about it, the main culprit of the kidnappers was tall and had a deep impression of his fluent Chinese. He did not seem to be from Hong Kong. After the incident, she had unintentionally heard the Feng family mention him after the kidnappers were captured. The main culprit’s surname seemed to be Jiang, but she could not remember his full name.
