gentle fairy tale

Chapter 48 48

The day before the National Day holiday, Yu Mian went to Pei Songxi's company, and was surprised to know that the person Ji Yirou liked was none other than Uncle Wen's younger sister, Wen Huaiyu.

In fact, she rarely saw Wen Zhizhen, and she didn't know what kind of person he was.

During the vacation, Yu Mian secretly asked Pei Linmo.But Pei Linmo didn't know, and only vaguely said that the two families seemed to have been friends for a long time. Wen Zhizhen and Pei Songxi were regarded as child relatives, but Wen Zhizhen was in poor health and hadn't gotten married for so many years.

If you ask anything else, he won't know.

Yu Mian wanted to know more details, but she had no way to know.

Sometimes she even wants to ask Wei Yi, but once she asks Wei Yi, Aunt Pei will definitely know.

Until that day when she went to the company to look for Pei Songxi, she saw Ming Ran and Wei Yi standing in the corner talking, and wanted to go up to say hello, but before she walked over, she heard Ming Ran ask coldly: "Wei Yi? You and Miss Wen?" what relationship?"

Her glamorous and exquisite facial features could vaguely see the uncontrollable anger, one hand tightly grasped Wei Yi's wrist, half clasping her in his arms: "Would you say it?"

Wei Yi smiled brightly at her: "Are you being too lenient? The bed is related to the bed. Mr. Ming, let go."

She is always like this, she is warm and bright to others, but she can't hide her indifference towards Ming Ran...

Ming Ran was about to say something, but Wei Yi's expression changed: "Mian Mian, why are you here?"

Ming Ran had no choice but to let go of his hand, his expression was awkward for a moment, but he controlled it well, and when he turned around and saw Yu Mian, his expression calmed down: "Songxi is still in the meeting, you have to wait a while, little girl."

Yu Mian blinked, as if she was still shocked by the scene she saw just now, she took a step back: "Are you guys doing something, did I bother you?"

Wei Yi walked towards her with a smile, not seeing the sharp edge before: "Mianmian, come on, my sister will take you to eat some fruit, wait for Mr. Pei for a while."

Yu Mian nodded in a daze, followed her forward, walked a few steps before remembering that she didn't say goodbye to Ming Ran, looked back, but didn't expect... This kind of repressed and deep nostalgia, when seeing her turn around, he hastily lowered his head.

Hey...why do you have such an expression?

This is something Yu Mian can't understand.

Wei Yi didn't notice the abnormality at all, and took her into Pei Songxi's office, and brought her fruit and snacks: "Okay, you wait here, be good."

Yu Mian smiled embarrassedly: "I'm already in high school, why do you still treat me like a child?"

Wei Yi nodded approvingly: "That's right... I didn't expect it, you are a beautiful girl in a blink of an eye."

She didn't expect that... after ten years, the relationship between her and Ming Ran... is still a deadlock, with no progress.It's not that she never thought about letting go, but she was reluctant, so she could only use the name of friends with benefits... to hug someone who didn't belong to her at night.

Yu Mian was teased by her, blushing: "Don't laugh at me like that!"

Wei Yi smiled and said yes, just when she was about to go out, Yu Mian stopped her: "Sister Wei Yi, the Miss Wen you mentioned just now... is it?"

"Mr. Wen Zhizhen's younger sister."

Wei Yi answered her question lightly, but Yu Mian was shocked by the answer: "It turned out to be...his sister?"

"Well, the Wen family and the Pei family are family friends, but the relationship is average. Mr. Pei and Master Wen are engaged, but the two families do not move around much in private. They are more like business partners and cooperate on some major projects. ——However, this kind of cooperation has been broken recently, because Mr. Pei and Ms. Wen have always been at odds with each other and dislike each other. "

Before Yu Mian could ask again, Wei Yi had already explained the relationship between the two families clearly... After she finished speaking, she began to regret it, because she didn't want the little girl to ask about the matter between her and Ming Ran, so she subconsciously Said a lot of things that shouldn't be said.

"Hey……"

She couldn't help but sighed: "Okay, Xiao Mianmian, that's all for now, don't ask any more questions. I'm off to work."

Yu Mian was still digesting the series of messages she just said, blinked her eyes, and nodded obediently: "Okay, go get busy."

It's so strange... She just saw Wei Yi that day, so the person in the car with bright features is the 'Miss Wen' that Ming Ran said, and that person should be the person Ji Yirou likes... Sigh, she is a bit messed up up.

After Wei Yi left, Yu Mian called Ji Yirou, but she still couldn't get through. She couldn't verify the news.

The recent schoolwork pressure is too heavy, her dance class is over, and she can't see Ji Yirou in person, and she has made several phone calls but the phone is turned off.Yu Mian couldn't help being a little worried about her, and always had a vague premonition that sister Yirou had fallen out with that sister Wen.

She was sitting there in a daze, when Pei Songxi came in from outside: "Mianmian, why are you here?"

Yu Mian came back to her senses: "Tomorrow is a holiday, can I go out for dinner today?"

Pei Songxi shook her head: "Sorry, I promised Zhizhen that I will go to his house for dinner. I'll take you home first, okay?"

Yu Mian froze for a moment: "Why are you going to eat, it's..."

Is it time to get married?

Seeing that she looked cute in a daze, Pei Songxi stroked her hair: "Because his sister is getting married, ask me to come over. I'll be back soon, don't worry."

Yu Mian was surprised: "Married? With whom?"

"I don't know, I don't care about her affairs."

But Yu Mian became nervous: "I want to go there with you!"

Pei Songxi froze for a moment: "Huh? Are you going? Don't you always dislike eating at other people's homes?"

Yu Mian held her arm tightly: "Do you still remember the new friend I told you about? I remember...the person she seems to like is...Uncle Wen's sister."

Pei Songxi paused, and his pretty brows frowned slightly: "New friend—you know what you said, called...Ji Yirou?"

"Yes! That's her!"

"Oh...it's her."

Pei Songxi realized that she had misunderstood something belatedly, and couldn't help but smile: "Have you not been in touch with her recently?"

"No, I guess she may have encountered some things, and the phone is always turned off. Aunt Pei, shall I go with you?"

Pei Songxi was a little hesitant, she seldom took Yu Mian to social occasions, let alone take her to other people's homes for dinner... Mian Mian is still too young, her heart is sinister, she is not at ease.

Yu Mian was very persistent, and raised a finger: "Just this time, just this time, okay?"

The way she made the request was so obedient, Pei Songxi's lips curved slightly, and she made a concession: "Okay, just this time. But don't talk too much to others, you know?"

"I know! No problem!"

When they arrived at Wen's house, everyone found out that Pei Songxi had brought an immature girl with her when she came this time.

Wen Huaiyu glanced at Pei Songxi with a half-smile, but Pei Songxi didn't look at her. He only introduced Yu Mian and asked her to say hello to others.

Yu Mian is a sensible and polite child, wearing the blue school uniform of the attached high school, with a high ponytail, he looks very obedient at first glance, smiled and asked Ji Yirou, and then blinked at Ji Yirou.

When no one was paying attention, she talked to Ji Yirou: "Sister Yirou! Long time no see! You can't get through to your phone, and you didn't call me either."

Ji Yirou apologized a little: "I encountered some things before... I'm sorry."

Yu Mian said it was okay, she took her arm and stood aside, chatting with her.The two people didn't know what interesting things they said, they looked at each other, and then laughed.

Pei Songxi looked at the scene of smiling at each other, her delicate brows were slightly furrowed, and she took a while to look away.

Wen Huaiyu was standing by the window sill drinking, with a bright and unrestrained smile, with a little provocation: "Miss Pei raises the little girl as a treasure, and it's the first time she has brought her out to meet her when she grows up. How can you bear it today?"

It's really interesting, the person who is usually calm and indifferent, now has emotions hidden in his eyes, and the way he purses his lips... It seems that she is in a good mood.

She and Pei Songxi have always been at odds, so what they say is full of thorns.

Pei Songxi lowered her eyes, with a calm expression: "Mianmian usually doesn't want to come out. This time, I want to see your wife."

Wen Huaiyu said softly, with some meaningful meaning: "So that's the case. I don't know, I thought Miss Pei didn't like her coming out to meet people."

Pei Songxi ignored the subtlety of what she said, with a hint of impatience in his expression. Just as he was about to speak, Wen Zhizhen's extremely gentle voice came from behind him: "Huai Yu, go and see Grandpa, please come down."

Wen Huaiyu said yes very slowly, then lowered his voice, and said coldly: "Take care of your little girl, don't let her go out to see others."

Pei Songxi was stunned by the suppressed emotions in the depths of her eyes, and mocked softly: "But I think Miss Ji is very happy to meet Mianmian."

Wen Huaiyu snorted coldly, remembering an unpleasant misunderstanding, but he didn't want to talk to her anymore, and asked Ji Yirou to go upstairs to see Grandpa Wen.

After she left, Wen Zhizhen came over with a helpless smile: "Nannan's personality is like this, and her words may be a bit harsh, but her nature is not bad, so don't be angry."

Pei Songxi said no: "I never get distracted by irrelevant people and things."

Wen Zhizhen smiled helplessly: "Songxi, you speak directly."

Pei Songxi calmed down a little, and chatted with him: "How is your health recently?"

"It's not very good. I had an operation not long ago, and it took me a while to recover."

"It's okay, don't worry, take good care of your body."

"Uncle contacted me before and asked me how I am doing recently?"

"Oh," Pei Songxi said with a hint of sarcasm, "you don't need to talk to him, you probably want to urge you to get married."

Wen Zhizhen nodded: "I think so, so I didn't give a clear reply."

"Well, let's talk about it."

"Songxi," Wen Zhizhen followed her gaze and landed on the girl standing in the yard talking, "but I think your attitude towards marriage is still too hasty, which is irresponsible to yourself. I know that the two families have too many interests involved, and the marriage was decided long ago, but if you don't want to, it's actually not a problem."

Pei Songxi smiled faintly: "There will be some troubles. I don't have time to pay attention to these things. Marriage is just a process. You recuperate in England all year round. We are thousands of miles apart. Can you have any influence on me? Besides, With you here, my family will not be urging marriage every day."

Wen Zhizhen shook his head, with a gentle and restrained tone: "I can't agree with your attitude. I think you have to think carefully and be responsible to yourself... Also, have you asked Yu Mian how he feels?"

Pei Songxi paused: "Her feelings... I haven't talked to her about it for a while. She should know a little bit, but she never said anything. "

"You see, it's just a trivial matter in your heart, but maybe it's a big event in the little girl's heart?"

Pei Songxi was stunned: "...will it be?"

It's just a business marriage.

Before today, Mianmian had only met Wen Zhizhen once, and it was because of that time when she called him and heard him say that she was in Hokkaido that she wanted to take Mianmian to go skiing.When she got there, she invited him to dinner out of politeness.

At other times, she never mentioned him in front of Mian Mian.She rarely sees him - she has been too busy this year, and the conflict with Pei Linmao has become more and more intense day by day. In addition, she and Wen Huaiyu have always had a competitive relationship, and her career pressure is very high.

Outside of work, she struggled to find time to be with Yu Mian, and she had no time for him.

But... when I was in Hokkaido last time, Mianmian's mood that night seemed to be really not right.

What did she misunderstand?

In the evening, Yu Mian dries her hair in the room.

The door was half open, Pei Songxi knocked on the door: "Mianmian, can I come in?"

Yu Mian turned off the hair dryer: "Yes. Aunt Pei, aren't you busy tonight?"

"Well, not busy."

Pei Songxi sat down beside her, remembering what Wen Zhizhen said, but didn't know how to speak.

After all, Yu Mian has never directly expressed her dissatisfaction for so long, if she spoke rashly, it would seem a little strange, so she only said this to Yu Mian.

"Are you happy to see your friends?"

"Well! Elder sister Yirou is an actress. No wonder she is so beautiful. She told me some interesting things."

"What did you say?"

Yu Mian tilted her head slightly, her black and soft hair hung down from one side of her shoulders, shining a soft halo under the light,

She took a dry towel and gently wiped the wet ends of her hair: "I talked about her filming, and also said that she went to apply for a marriage certificate a few days ago. She really likes that Miss Wen. That's great. They Now married, we can be together forever."

Pei Songxi took the towel and helped her wipe her hair. His slender fingers ran through her hair, and his tone was calm and calm: "Wen Huaiyu's marriage is not as simple as you imagined, and your friend's family is not an ordinary family. Possibility of marriage."

Yu Mian was taken aback: "Is this the case... I thought people who like each other will be together."

Pei Songxi smiled lightly and said no: "Many times, marriage is an implicit contractual relationship, which provides an extra layer of security guarantee for both partners. Some people hate each other after they form a partner, and some people will respect each other as guests, and they will not be all friends. A man loves his wife as much as your friend does."

Subconsciously, Yu Mian wanted to ask her back, why did she want to get married...but when the words came to her lips, she restrained herself.

Even if she knew... So what if she might not like Uncle Wen.In addition to feelings, there are also cooperative relationships, commercial interests... So many factors, plus... She can see that Aunt Pei appreciates Uncle Wen, and when they stand together, they look so good together... The man is elegant and handsome, while the woman is quiet and elegant, just like a meticulous painting with beautiful and delicate brushstrokes, it is pleasing to the eye.

She could only feel anxious alone, but she couldn't express her anxiety.

How could she... how dare she put herself on two ends of the balance, one end was her relatives, friends she had known for many years, her career, and the other end was... only herself.

She was afraid that once she said it, she would hear some answers that she didn't dare to hear.

So she can only hide all her thoughts in her heart.

Seeing her in a daze, Pei Songxi called her name: "Mianmian?"

Yu Mian lowered her head, her eyelashes fluttering, and said softly, "I know, Aunt Pei. I've always known."

Pei Songxi thought she understood, so she smiled in relief: "Don't think too much, Mianmian. I promise you that no matter what happens, it won't affect you."

Yu Mian hummed lightly: "Okay...it won't. You...don't worry."
