Chapter 382

After the meal, Chen Moru personally sent them to the manor gate.

"I'm really sorry today, making you feel awkward and disappointed."

Chen Moru said sincerely with an apologetic tone. Deng Xiwen stepped forward and patted her lightly, comforting her: "Sister Moru, don't put so much pressure on yourself. Children's matters can't be rushed. Jingjing and I are both mothers, we can understand your mood, so we won't blame you for today's matter, don't worry."

Shen Jingjing also nodded on the side, expressing agreement with Deng Xiwen's words.

The smile on Chen Moru's face was slightly helpless and bitter. In the end, her gaze fell on Shen Ci.

"A-Ci, I really appreciate and like you, child. I hope you don't take what I did today to heart. If you need any help in the future, just come to me. If I can help, I definitely will!"

"Jingjing, and that housekeeping company of yours." Chen Moru looked at Shen Jingjing again: "If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me. I am very optimistic about this idea of yours."

Hearing this, Shen Jingjing hurriedly said: "Thank you, Sister Moru. But this is just a very small idea of mine, how could I trouble you? And I also found someone very professional in the industry to help me. If I still can't do it well, then I'll give up the idea of doing business in the future, so as not to waste the money A-Ci worked so hard to earn."

Chen Moru still wanted to say something, but heard Shen Ci interrupt: "Auntie Moru, you are really too polite. You really don't need to feel sorry for today's matter. If you must apologize, perhaps you can calm down and have a good talk with your daughter."

She could see that Chen Moru was eager to express her apology for today's matter, but in fact, the only person who needed an apology today was Pei Wangshu.

Although she didn't know what kind of person the other party was, as far as this matter today was concerned, Pei Wangshu was indeed the only one who was hurt.

Chen Moru was silent for a moment. It wasn't that she wasn't willing to apologize to her daughter, but the mode of interaction between her and her children for so many years had been deeply ingrained in her heart. She had long since forgotten how to communicate with her children.

But this was a problem Chen Moru should consider and solve herself. To put it bluntly, it was her family affair.

As an outsider and a junior, Shen Ci no longer had the qualification or position to say another word. Seeing Chen Moru not speaking, she took the initiative to say goodbye: "Auntie Moru, it's getting late, you should go back and rest early. Next time there's a chance, let my mother invite you to be a guest at home."

Only then did Chen Moru come back to her senses and nod: "Alright."

Downtown "Hard Candy Bar"!

Pei Qingyan was having a blast with a group of good brothers. The bar's strong, fierce music and the restless, fanatical guests unveiled the look that the nightlife of this international modern metropolis should have.

A set of "shots" was poured full. Pei Qingyan lost the game and downed three cups in a row. The spiciness of the alcohol slid down his throat, stimulating his nerve senses. The alcohol hit his head at the end, setting off a wave of distorted dizziness.

Pei Qingyan smiled and leaned back into the booth sofa, listening to the cheers and jeers of the friends around him. Following that, someone pushed a beautiful girl beside him onto him.

Fragrant wind drifted into his nose. Pei Qingyan looked sideways—the girl was good-looking, with a slender waist and soft touch.

If it were usual, he would have long since pulled her into his arms. But today, he had no such interest. Because he had seen too many beautiful girls, all the same and without any characteristics.

Shen Ci's face appeared in his mind, making the girl in front of him look even more dull. He laughed out loud, raised his hand, and pushed the person aside: "Whoever brought you here, you accompany whoever. I won't take what others love today!"

Hearing this, the girl looked embarrassed at the boy who had just pushed her, and saw the boy lean into Pei Qingyan's ear and whisper: "What's wrong, Qingyan? You don't even like this? She's participated in international beauty pageants!"

"Vulgar!" Pei Qingyan was slightly tipsy, squinting his eyes and laughing happily: "Boring, boring!"

"This is still boring?"

The friend was clearly shocked. Being brothers for so many years, he chose the beauty specifically because he understood Pei Qingyan's preferences.

In the end, he nodded and guessed: "Fine, I know. You just like the kind like Xiao Jie, right? I really helped you book her today, but she wouldn't come. Next time, I'll definitely book her for you, okay?"

"Xiao Jie? Which Xiao Jie?" Pei Qingyan asked with hazy, drunken eyes.

The friend shook his head with a bitter smile: "I think you're really drunk!"

As a result, the next second, someone else suddenly squeezed into the booth from the crowd with an angry face and came to the two of them, saying: "Holy shit, guess who I saw?"

"Who?"

"Ge Yunjie!" This person looked at another person and asked with wide eyes: "Didn't you say you booked her, but she wouldn't come out?"

That person was also shocked: "Yeah, I fucking booked her. Where did you see her?"

The other party sneered immediately: "Who else could it fucking be who can pry someone away from our set? Gu Yunzhou, obviously!"

"Holy shit!"

The boy cursed and jumped up: "I fucking gave him face, and he dares to snatch Pei Qingyan's person?"

As he spoke, he made a move to rush out.

But he didn't expect to be stopped by Pei Qingyan: "Oh my, what a big deal, sit!"

With a force on his hand, he pulled his impulsive good brother back.

"Qingyan, Xiao Jie!" The friend looked at Pei Qingyan in surprise, feeling that he was really abnormal today. Xiao Jie was the girl he was most interested in recently, and now she was intercepted by his rival Gu Yunzhou, yet he was indifferent!

Was this still the Pei Qingyan he knew?

Pei Qingyan looked indifferent and said with a cheeky smile: "Brother gave her to him!"

The two friends looked at each other incredibly, because they both knew what kind of person Pei Qingyan was.

He wouldn't stop until he got the person he liked. Whoever ruined his good deeds would definitely not have a good ending.

This was also why Pei Qingyan and Gu Yunzhou were rivals, because Gu Yunzhou was also such a person.

The two had very similar tastes and often had conflicts because of "crashing dishes" and snatching women.

And today, Pei Qingyan actually said he gave her to the other party?

"I have a better one now."

Pei Qingyan shook his finger in front of their shocked faces and said shockingly: "Let me tell you, I... Pei Qingyan... might... be... falling in love!"

!!!

As soon as this was said, the jaws of the brothers on the left and right sides dropped to the floor.

They exchanged a look, both asking each other: How much did this brother drink today? Is he really drunk!

The next second, Pei Qingyan suddenly stood up, picked up the jacket on the sofa, and said: "I have to go back early today. I have to catch my mom before she goes out tomorrow morning to explore the situation. You guys keep drinking, put it on my tab..."
