Chapter 347 But there is love!
Chapter 347 But there is love!
Bai Yuan looked at him with a little confusion and asked, "What's the matter?"
Pei Jin shook his head somewhat dully, then came back to his senses.
Then, he unnoticeably put the arm that had just been grabbed by Bai Yuan behind his back.
Trying to hide your discomfort.
"No."
Pei Jin said in a low voice, trying to act as if he didn't care.
However, his eyes flickered unconsciously.
At the same time, his other hand silently touched the place where the warmth of Bai Yuan's palm still remained.
Pei Jin gently stroked that part.
It seems that he wants to relieve the soreness and pain in his arms in this way.
After that, he didn't wait for Bai Yuan to speak.
He then took her through the door and into the guest room.
The room is spacious and has a wide view.
It's just that it's already around four o'clock in the afternoon and the sky is gradually getting dark.
Pei Jin didn't come to this room often. He fumbled around the wall and surroundings for a long time before he found the switch for the fluorescent light.
With a few crisp "clicks", the lights came on and the room became brighter.
The furniture in the room is antique and exudes a light wood fragrance that brings peace and tranquility.
There are many vibrant green plants in the corners around.
The ambient light hidden in the corner shines on the green leaves of the plants, reflecting emerald green light.
Creates a unique, slow and long-lasting sense of tranquility.
Accompanied by the faint sound of gurgling water, it feels like entering an ancient garden residence.
It allows people to relax and soothe their body and mind.
After coming in, Pei Jin first grabbed the can of fish feed on the coffee table.
After unscrewing the lid, he poured a handful of it into his hands and sprinkled it all into the indoor fish pond as if it were free.
"Just sit anywhere. We'll have dinner when you're hungry. No need to wait. There's no telling what time my mom will be back!"
Pei Jin fed the fish while talking.
It was as if he felt that feeding him like this was not enough.
Just tilt the entire fish food can over.
I just poured half the can in.
Look at the fish scrambling to eat the relief food.
Pei Jin then closed the lid with satisfaction.
Put the fish food box back on the coffee table.
Then, he looked at Bai Yuan and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Leave after you finish eating. Let my driver take you home. I'm not in a hurry to chase you away. If you want to wait for her, it's not impossible to wait until late at night."
As he spoke, Pei Jin looked at Bai Yuan who was sitting elegantly.
Considering how much she values etiquette and manners, she probably wouldn't be able to leave early with such shame.
He sat down on the coffee table again, facing Bai Yuan, and added:
"You don't have to feel embarrassed. She didn't even say she was sorry for standing someone up. She has no sense of time at all."
Bai Yuan listened to his resentful mumblings as if they were real.
I actually don't understand why he had such a big reaction.
In her opinion, it is normal and common for adults in the family to break appointments due to work matters.
When it comes to work, no one can be sure what emergency might happen in the next second.
Especially for a wealthy family like them.
It has many industrial chains.
The energy and effort required will inevitably be greater than that of ordinary people.
What's more, as the chairman of the group, anything that needs to be handled personally is definitely not a trivial matter.
It must be a major event that takes into account the interests, public opinion orientation and interests of the entire group.
It may even be a top priority that shakes the entire economic ecosystem and involves countless other small and medium-sized family businesses.
It directly determines the survival and profit expenditure of countless companies.
Since the matter is of great importance, work must come first in everything.
It is understandable that other matters are put on hold.
It is normal for people in high positions to have an imbalance between family and work.
It is impossible to enjoy the benefits and interests brought by power without paying any price.
Similarly, since they were born into a wealthy family, they have enjoyed a superior life and life that is superior to all ordinary people since childhood.
We must also learn to accept the imperfections in family relationships.
It is impossible to get one benefit and take advantage of everything.
There is no such thing as having the best of both worlds in the world.
If you want both, you will get nothing except internal waste.
Therefore, Bai Yuan just listened to Pei Jin's complaints calmly but did not make any other comments.
Pei Jin originally thought that after hearing these words, Bai Yuan would share the same hatred with him and criticize his own mother's behavior together.
After all, strictly speaking, she was the one who was stood up.
It's impossible to have no complaints at all.
But Bai Yuan still maintained her attitude, as if she would not be moved no matter what happened, and nodded slightly.
"Okay, got it." She responded, "No hurry, wait a little longer."
Just these two simple sentences made him look like the unreasonable person.
Pei Jin was puzzled at first, but soon figured out the reason.
He got down from the coffee table and pulled a chair over from the side.
The back of the chair is facing forward, and you sit on it in a backward position.
The boy put his arms on the back of the chair, propped up his chin with his hands, and asked with an interested look:
"Is it like this in your family too?"
If you ask why she could accept this matter so quickly.
There is only one reason.
That’s how Bai Yuan himself went through as a child.
"Almost the same." Bai Yuan replied, "The families of the friends I know are all the same."
Bai Yuan grew up in a compound in Beijing.
The Bai couple have been working in Haiqi all year round.
Compared with Pei Jin, this person is really someone you rarely see throughout the entire year.
It's the kind of thing where I come back occasionally without saying hello, and Bai Xun still asks me "Hello, uncle or auntie".
Even ordinary video calls are often interrupted by calls from other people.
Even if the other party always says "I'll call back later".
But this 'later' always refers to the next routine call in a few days.
Bai Yuan has been living like this since he was a child and doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
We have even become accustomed to it.
In other words, every family in the compound came here this way.
The only difference is that the parents of other people in the compound work locally in Beijing.
Although you can't see him during the day, he will still come back in the second half of the night.
Sometimes, my family members have different schedules, so even if I come back every day, I may not see them for several days in a row.
Other people in the compound didn't think it was a big deal.
Even everyone is happy and relaxed.
Normally, no one cares about them, so they can run around the yard as much as they want.
Since everyone is the same, there is no need for Bai Yuan to be pretentious about it.
People are independent individuals and cannot live without each other.
Therefore, she really couldn't understand why Pei Jin took Pei's mother's broken promise so seriously.
What's more, when Pei's mother invited her to her home, it was not a family dinner with any commercial nature.
Of course, there is a plan to use this to build closer relations and prepare for a marriage between the two families in the future.
But it is just an inconspicuous part in enhancing the relationship between the two parties.
As long as he is not absent from formal business occasions or engagement or wedding banquets, he will offend the Bai family and make both families lose face.
Or maybe he is deliberately relying on his prominent family background to intimidate himself and set rules for himself, leaving himself out in the cold.
This kind of occasional harmless and justifiable lateness or absence is understandable.
On the contrary it was Pei Jin.
Having lived in such an environment since childhood, I have not yet become accustomed to or seen through the unique customs and practices of wealthy families.
This is what puzzles Bai Yuan the most.
It was the first time that Pei Jin heard Bai Yuan talk about things related to the people around her.
It immediately aroused a lot of interest.
Previously, Bai Yuan wore a brooch that was given to her by someone unknown.
Later, Bai Yuan hung up the phone for his friend.
The successive setbacks not only hit Pei Jin's self-esteem, but also made him feel as if he was always standing away from her, neither accepted by her nor able to truly understand her.
Although Bai Yuan seems to be gentle and polite to others, no matter whether he is interacting with himself or others, people always feel that there is a layer of separation.
It's impossible to truly enter her inner world.
Now there is such a good opportunity, and it was Bai Yuan who took the initiative to bring it up.
Pei Jin naturally would not miss this opportunity.
At the same time, he also wanted to use this opportunity to let Bai Yuan talk more about the people and things related to her.
So, he continued the conversation and asked:
"Almost the same? What do you mean they are all the same?"
Bai Yuan had never paid attention to this aspect before.
But since Pei Jin asked, seeing the curiosity in the other party's eyes, Bai Yuan recalled himself and the friends he knew around him, and replied:
"Parents either travel around the country or abroad all year round, or are busy with work and leave early and return late, or they are often on business trips, leaving only the elderly and the nanny to take care of them at home."
The former refers to Wen Yiche, the middle one covers the family situations of most people in the compound, and the latter refers to Bai Yuan himself.
Pei Jin added: "Even when he goes home, he never leaves his phone or works. Sometimes he walks out within two minutes of entering the house. Does he always put off the things he has agreed to do until next time?"
Bai Yuan nodded, "Yes, that's right."
Pei Jin seemed to have found a common cause and asked, "You can't even spare the time to attend the parent-teacher meeting that you promised long ago?"
Bai Yuan: “We don’t have a parent-teacher conference.”
Pei Jin: …
The parents of students who can go to school in the compound are generally busy with work.
Even if the school organizes a parent-teacher meeting and notifies parents in advance, more than half of the students will be unable to attend the meeting on the day due to busy work.
Since we know that this is an irreconcilable contradiction.
There is no need for schools to force themselves to open the school.
So the parent-teacher conference was cancelled.
The student's situation and usual grades will be sent to each parent's email address via email.
In this way, sometimes when you receive work documents and see unread emails, you can click to open them all at once.
"Alas, I thought you guys were so different from us." Hearing this, Pei Jin couldn't help but sigh, and sighed from the bottom of his heart, "I didn't expect you guys to live such a miserable life."
Bai Yuan:......
Bai Yuan:? ? ?
Pei Jin's words made Bai Yuan look at him more carefully.
After finding out that he really thought so.
For a moment I felt speechless.
Bai Yuan: Telling a bunch of Beijing guys and girls about being pitiful???
Are you okay!!!
This kind of reincarnation technique is so pitiful that many people cannot even ask for it.
Who wouldn’t want this blessing?
Bai Yuan thought about it again and again, but still couldn't associate the word "pitiful" with the people he knew, such as Qin Lingzheng, Song Yichen, Wei Shaoqing, Mu Yao, Xi Lan and other young men from the courtyard.
Even An couldn't do it with Wen Yiche, Wen Yixuan and Wu Wan. It is estimated that the people around Bai Yuan were the most pitiful from childhood to adulthood.
Not to mention being able to empathize with them and apply them to yourself.
I guess this is the most pitiful time for the people around Bai Yuan from childhood to adulthood.
That is, he was chased by his parents after he climbed up the roof and removed the tiles at home.
After finally reaching the Bai family, he hid behind Bai Yuan like a little chicken.
But she threw him to the ground with a shoulder throw and a grappling technique, giving her parents, who were almost running their legs off, finally a chance to grab the insole of her shoe and give them a good beating.
In Bai Yuan's opinion, if we talk about pity, only Song Yanming in the entire compound can be considered pitiful.
Of course, what makes him pitiful is not that his father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't love him.
But it's pitiful that he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, with endless schemes at all times and places, and if he is not careful, he will be sent to the hospital for a half-month tour.
The young masters of other wealthy families can inherit the family business just by lying down.
Not only does he have to crawl around, but he also has to worry about the risk of his account being deleted at all times.
Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel miserable. How can this not be considered pitiful?
If you really have to count, Zhou Sheng can also be included.
Although the child himself does not feel sorry for himself.
But as he walked along, others were terrified.
This is a rare case where all the luck is placed on reincarnation.
We must never generalize or make blanket statements.
Apart from this, Bai Yuan has never seen a third person who deserves the word "pitiful".
Bai Yuan didn't say anything. She was indeed speechless and didn't know what to say.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Jin thought that she was sad because of what he mentioned, and she was empathizing with him.
As a result, Pei Jin also let down his guard and expressed his true feelings to Bai Yuan more sincerely:
“I actually want to live a life like an ordinary person.”
His deep blue eyes were filled with a bit of overly naivety and stupidity, and he said with longing:
"We may not have a rich material life, and our family can only squeeze into a small house of dozens of square meters, but we are accompanied by our family every day, and we sit together to eat and chat..."
Bai Yuan:?
“Although my life may not be as affluent as it is now, at least I don’t have to bear so many responsibilities and pressures. I can do whatever I want and enjoy doing without any constraints…”
Bai Yuan:? ?
"Even if you are unlucky and encounter hardships and setbacks, family members can always get through it by supporting and relying on each other and facing difficulties together..."
Bai Yuan:? ? ?
Having said this, Pei Jin sighed slowly, and the light in his eyes became clearer:
"We are a little poor, but we have true feelings and love!!! This is so happy!"
Bai Yuan:? ? ? ? ?
