Tang Yu’s Dilemma (4)
Pei Qiqi’s voice quivered, “Shut off the light…”
Tang Yu looked down at how weak she appeared emotionally. She was crying, making her eyelids translucently pink. Her long lashes had drops of tears that would fall every time she blinked…
Not only did he not turn off the light, he turned the lights brighter. The more she cried, the more he enjoyed it – he thought this was very fun.
Pei Qiqi was bullied by him and cried harder because of it. However, he felt an indescribable amount of pleasure from this.
Tang Yu had completely let himself go for several consecutive nights now. Pei Qiqi had pain but didn’t dare to speak them. What happened to the agreed-upon Friday and Saturday nights only?
What she was happy about, was that at work, Tang Yu had transferred her to the document’s room and allowed her to just clean and organize there.
Pei Qiqi would sometimes flip through old contracts. This new position was far easier than the jobs she had to do before. Of course, she would see Tang Yu’s signatures on all these documents, looking confident and energetic…
She remembered something and her face reddened.
On Friday, when Tang Yu was working from home, she walked over to him and whispered, “I want to take a day off tomorrow.”
A day off?
Tang Yu thought this was funny so he raised an eyebrow, “You need to do something?”
He was worried that he had taken things too far these last few days, so…
Pei Qiqi nodded and said, “I’ll come back a little later.”
Tang Yu remembered how she had encountered a psycho not too long ago, so he stopped what he was looking at and said to her seriously, “I’ll ask my driver to drive you back.”
Pei Qiqi was a little surprised at this kindness but she didn’t want to accept it. His niceness wasn’t something she could handle.
Looking down, Pei Qiqi’s voice was low, “I will call a taxi.”
Tang Yu didn’t persist. To him, he was willing to spoil her a little once in a while. However, Pei Qiqi was an adult with functional legs… Though he had no idea back then that there will come a day when he will spoil her until she no longer knows how to function.
He had to be somewhere that night. His cousin Jinrong was getting engaged, so he allowed Pei Qiqi to take the day off.
Tang Yu was surprised. According to his mother, the fiancee was Jinrong’s junior in school. Something must’ve happened and the girl’s family was a little headstrong and claimed that if they don’t give their girl a title in the family, they will make a big deal out of whatever happened. So, after many rounds of unpleasant discussions, they decided to get engaged.
He stared at Pei Qiqi and he couldn’t help but think – if Pei Qiqi wasn’t oppressed by Zhou Meilin, maybe she would find someone as excellent as Jinrong.
…
On Saturday, Pei Qiqi went with Chen Xinjie. Though she was from the girl’s side of the family, Zhou Meilin refused to accept her as part of the family. So in the Pei family, Pei Qiqi was put in an awkward spot.
Regarding this, Pei Minghe was very unhappy and always thought he had wronged Pei Qiqi. He had fought against Zhou Meilin but one sentence from Zhou Meilin had shut him up, “Pei Minghe, you want the Lin family to know you have a bastard daughter?”
Pei Minghe walked down the stairs silently and didn’t bring this up again.
The biggest hotel in City B, the GM Hotel, hosted Lin Jinrong and Pei Huan’s engagement party. Zhou Meilin was smiling like a blooming flower in front of Pei Huan. It was as if she was the main character in today’s event.
Compared to her, people from the Lin family were far more lowkey but were also far more prominent.
Zhou Meilin was originally very self-satisfied to have tied down a more well-off family. However, as time went on, the corners of her lips slid down. One, it was because Lin Jinrong had no smiles at all all night. Two, it was because she couldn’t make any conversation with any of the Lin family members.
By the time Chen Xinjie and Pei Qiqi arrived, Zhou Meilin’s smile was simply plastered on her face. When she saw Pei Qiqi, her anger began to take over.
