The room was very quiet. Su Peizhen lowered her head so that no one could see her expression.
Su Chenghui was afraid that Su Peizhen wouldn't agree, so he told her about a project he was working on. "Or you can join as a participant. If you're willing, I'll send you the information when I get back. What do you think? "
"We'll see."
Su Chenghui was a little disappointed that Su Peizhen didn't agree right away, but he wasn't in a hurry.
The waiter began to serve the dishes, and the father and daughter ate quietly. From time to time, Su Chenghui would put food into Su Peizhen's bowl and talk about what had happened in Lin City recently.
Of course, those things had nothing to do with the Li family. Su Peizhen was only responsible for listening, not speaking.
Su Chenghui put down his chopsticks and poured a cup of tea for Su Peizhen. "Are you sure you won't consider helping me?"
"No." Su Peizhen picked up the teacup and felt the warmth in her palm. "Dad, I have something to do now. Although the two department stores are small, they are just right for me. As for the rest, let's talk about it later. "
Su Chenghui was silent for a while, then poured himself another cup of tea. He looked up at Su Peizhen and said gently, "Peizhen. I know you might not believe me when I say this. But I'm serious. Your talent should not be buried. "
Su Peizhen finished the tea in her cup and put it down. She looked at Su Chenghui. There was really no need. I am doing very well now. I know that I'm no longer the Su Family's eldest daughter. I wasn't thinking about going back either. Whether it's you or my mother, you don't have to feel guilty. What I've lost, what I've lost. If I really want it, I will get it back little by little through my own efforts. I don't need your pity. "
"How is it pity?" Su Chenghui was shocked by Su Peizhen's words. You are my daughter. I know what's best for you. I'm like all the fathers in the world. I want the best for my daughter. Peizhen, don't think that I don't care about you anymore. Impossible. No matter when, you will always be my daughter. Always. "
Su Peizhen's head was still lowered, but the expression on her face had changed a little.
She looked up at Su Chenghui. They had been father and daughter for many years. Su Chenghui's words were true. She knew.
"Thanks, Dad."
"You're my daughter. Why are you thanking me?" Su Chenghui was very kind and serious.
Su Chenghui erased the mistakes he made on impulse when he was young. In some ways, he was a qualified father. Su Peizhen knew.
"I have a lot of businesses in Rong City, and I meant what I said just now. It's okay if you don't want to take over. If you have other ideas, you can tell me at any time. Daddy will always support you. "
"Alright."
Su Peizhen's eyes were a little sore. She lowered her head and suppressed those emotions.
After leaving the plum garden and saying goodbye to Su Chenghui, Su Peizhen didn't go home immediately. Instead, she went to the company to take a look.
The Lantern Festival had just passed, and people were still immersed in the festive atmosphere of the New Year. The company's activities were very grand. Whether it was online or offline, business was good.
After reading the report, Su Peizhen sat in her office, feeling a little bored. It was not difficult for her to manage all of this.
Thinking of Su Chenghui's words, she knew that he was telling the truth. Compared to Xiang Caiping, Su Chenghui was undoubtedly more aware of her ambition.
However, that kind of ambition was only in the past. Now, she had lost that ambition.
Realizing that she was feeling sad in the office, Su Peizhen shook her head. Chicken soup really didn't suit her.
When she returned to Rong Garden, Su Peizhen found that Ling Jing was not there.
She frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Zhao, who was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
"Where is he?"
She didn't say who, but she believed that Xiao Zhao would understand.
"You mean Mr. Ling? He left. "When they were arguing, Xiao Zhao was cleaning up in the kitchen and didn't hear it.
"Mr. Ling left not long after you left." After saying this, Xiao Zhao carefully looked at Su Peizhen's face. "He seemed very angry when he left."
Angry? What was there to be angry about?
Su Peizhen didn't take Ling Jing's anger to heart. It was nothing more than anger that she didn't accompany him. At most, she would accompany him for another day tomorrow.
However, Su Peizhen didn't expect that Ling Jing didn't come back that day. Not only did he not come back, but he also didn't come back the next day.
Su Peizhen, who hadn't seen Ling Jing in Rong City for two days in a row, seriously thought about the conflict between them that day.
It was true that she broke her promise, but wasn't Ling Jing taking her too seriously?
Since he had such a bad temper, she would leave him alone for a few days.
Su Peizhen didn't take it to heart at all. She didn't even call or send Ling Jing a message.
In the blink of an eye, she returned to the villa where Xiang Caiping lived. She didn't come back for two days, and Xiang Caiping was very happy to see her back.
Xiang Caiping didn't dare to control her daughter at all. It wasn't that she didn't want her daughter to come back to accompany her, but she didn't want her daughter to be unhappy.
She was very happy that Su Peizhen came back, but she would wait if Su Peizhen didn't come back.
As a mother, she couldn't do anything about it. Su Peizhen was a smart person and had seen all kinds of people. She could completely see Xiang Caiping's subtle feelings, which were between compensation and guilt.
She could see it, but she couldn't understand it.
She really didn't understand why people were always obsessed with the past. According to the current average life expectancy, Xiang Caiping could live for at least 20 or 30 years. If she continued to be so stubborn, Su Peizhen couldn't do anything about it.
While living in the villa, Su Peizhen still woke up early every day, but the result of waking up early here was that she could go outside to exercise.
Rong City was actually still very cold in the first month.
Early in the morning, Su Peizhen changed into a set of thick white sportswear and went out for a run. It was still very cold outside. She didn't run slowly, but she didn't run fast either.
There was really nothing to see in the early spring neighborhood. Even though their neighborhood was considered a villa area, they had put in a lot of effort to plant some greenery.
However, compared to the beauty of Lin City, it still seemed simple and boring. After running one lap, the sun slowly rose.
She was about to go home when she saw the golden retriever again. The golden retriever saw her inexplicably excited and rushed toward her.
Su Peizhen stopped and stood there motionlessly. The golden retriever, however, pounced on her without any hesitation.
Just as it was about to pounce on Su Peizhen, the dog leash around its neck was held by someone. It didn't succeed in pouncing on Su Peizhen, so it barked there with some dissatisfaction.
"Dian dian."
A gentle male voice sounded. Lin Feixing walked around from behind the trees. When he saw Su Peizhen, he nodded at her and said, "Miss Su."
He was also wearing sportswear, and it was very coincidental. He was wearing white. However, Su Peizhen ignored him.
"Yes." Su Peizhen responded as a greeting. She passed by Lin Feixing and wanted to leave, but he grabbed her hand at that moment.
"Miss Su?"
"What's the matter?" Su Peizhen subconsciously frowned when she saw his hand grabbing her. Lin Feixing seemed to have reacted and quickly let go of her hand. "Sorry."
He was a little uncomfortable, but seeing Su Peizhen's cold expression, he couldn't help but say, "Miss Su, I've thought about what you said the other day."
The other day? Which day?
Su Peizhen took some time to remember which day he was referring to. She didn't speak and just stared at Lin Feixing.
His face, which was full of elitism, actually looked a little perturbed at that moment.
"Miss Su, I think that everyone has a past. It's not a big deal."
"Your past is the past, and your present is the present. I don't want your past, I only want your present and future. "
…
Su Peizhen was stunned for a moment. The golden retriever by her feet was still rubbing against her pants, and she was dazed for a moment.
"Mr. Lin —"
"You can call me Feixing." Lin Feixing seemed to have finally mustered up the courage to finish what he wanted to say. In the end, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I admit that I was a little conflicted at first. But I don't have the right to criticize you. I've had girlfriends abroad. We broke up because we didn't get along. Although I met someone suitable later and spent time with two of them. Later, because I had to return to China, I didn't do anything about it. "
"I think that the reason why we broke up so easily is that those feelings weren't deep. When you told me that day, I was really surprised. But these few days, I've been thinking about you. Peizhen, can I call you Peizhen? "
Lin Feixing's eyes were filled with hidden passion.
Su Peizhen didn't know what to say. The golden retriever seemed to have infected its owner's emotions. It barked a few times and barked even more happily.
"Peizhen. I'm not a child. I believe that you're not either. Mature men and women naturally have their own ways to solve problems and deal with them. So I want to ask, can you give me a chance? "
Su Peizhen didn't rush to answer. The Lin Feixing in front of her was undoubtedly a very good marriage partner.
He had good qualities and a good appearance. Most importantly, he didn't mind her past.
She thought that she had a good eye for people. When Lin Feixing spoke to her, his eyes were open. She could tell that what he said was true. He really didn't mind.
Looking down at the golden retriever that was playing around her feet, she frowned slightly.
"Even though I've been in prison?"
"Yes." Lin Feixing nodded. "Prison is your punishment. No matter what you've done, since you've been punished, it's in the past. "
Su Peizhen didn't speak. That was the truth. Life in prison was God's punishment for her. She had already accepted the result, so she didn't feel that she had anything to regret.
However, she was really surprised that Lin Feixing could say something like that. For a moment, she didn't know what answer to give him.
"You don't have to rush to give an answer." Lin Feixing saw that she didn't speak for a long time and was afraid that she would be too conflicted. He quickly gave her a way out. "I can wait for you. Really. "
Su Peizhen blinked and looked up. She met the passion in Lin Feixing's eyes and was a little confused. "You like me?"
The man standing in front of her actually blushed. Su Peizhen didn't want his answer. She looked at him and took a step forward. "What do you like about me?"
Just this appearance? Just her face?
She had once read a saying that all love at first sight was just a result of the appearance.
Although she wasn't in a state of panic, she really didn't have more energy to manage a relationship.
"You might think that I'm exaggerating when I say love at first sight. But some things are just like that. Love doesn't start. If everything about love could be explained, how could there be so many infatuated men and women in this world? "
What he said made sense. Su Peizhen nodded. "Mr. Lin, I can't give you an answer now. Can you think about it later? Is that okay? "
"Of course." Lin Feixing smiled. Seeing that Su Peizhen was about to leave, he stopped her again and took out his phone at the same time.
"Peizhen. Although you need time to think about it, can you add me as a friend first? "
Su Peizhen saw the uneasiness in his eyes. In the end, she didn't reject him. It was just one more friend. She didn't have any burdens.
…
Back at the villa, during dinner, Xiang Caiping looked at Su Peizhen with a hesitant expression.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"No." Xiang Caiping quickly shook her head. "Just now, I think I saw Lin Feixing looking for you upstairs. He also came to our house last time. He came twice. Peizhen, you … "
"He came twice?" Su Peizhen didn't hear Xiang Caiping mention it. Hearing it now, she wasn't surprised. "Yes, he was looking for me just now. He said that he doesn't mind what happened to me."
"Really? He came to my house once before and said that. That's what he meant. "
There was a hint of anticipation in Xiang Caiping's voice. "Peizhen, you said it yourself before. You said that if Lin Feixing doesn't mind your past, you'll give him a chance? "
It wasn't that she was impatient, but Xiang Caiping really didn't want to lose such a good son-in-law.
"I remember. I've already given him my contact information. As for the future, we'll talk about it later. "
"Okay, that's good. That's good. "
It was best to have contact information. Xiang Caiping's face was full of anticipation. She was afraid that Su Peizhen would miss out on a good marriage.
Su Peizhen couldn't understand this kind of thinking. She didn't want to continue this topic. After dinner, she went to work.
Although Su Peizhen didn't want to take on Su Chenghui's business in Rong City, when he sent her the information, she still read it carefully.
She had to admit that at Su Chenghui's age. He had experience, experience, and foresight.
This project was indeed good. Su Peizhen was indeed interested. However, if she only took care of Su Chenghui's business, it would be lacking something.
She happened to have a sum of money on hand. If she participated as a shareholder, it would be a good choice.
Su Peizhen calculated the money she had left after deducting the house she bought last time. She called Su Chenghui. She asked in detail about the operation. In the end, she mentioned the funds and the people.
She was part of the bargaining chip. Su Chenghui understood that.
Su Chenghui couldn't be happier that his daughter was willing to take on the company. He immediately set up some details with Su Peizhen. He also talked to a third-party partner and introduced Su Peizhen's identity.
In this way, Su Peizhen was busy again. After she was busy for a week. It was already ten days later when she finished all the information and the previous procedures.
The first month of the lunar calendar was almost over, and she hadn't seen Ling Jing for almost half a month.
When Su Peizhen got off work one day, she suddenly remembered that her emotions had been quite tense recently. She needed to relax.
As for how to relax? Was there anything more relaxing than the balance of Yin and Yang?
She called Ling Jing, but Ling Jing didn't answer.
Su Peizhen frowned. She really didn't know that the pretty boy she raised could be so angry.
She originally didn't want to pay attention to it, but she more or less broke her promise that day. It was rare. Su Peizhen patiently called Ling Jing for a second time.
