Long before Song Yuqiao's hour on the plane, Pei Si had called her, and Zhang Menglin had also called her.

  However, after several attempts, it was always turned off. Zhang Menglin was so angry that she threw her phone directly onto the back seat and said, "What kind of response is this? Now they don't even answer the phone!"

  "Son of a turtle, despicable person!"

  Zhang Menglin frantically patted the seat below, and her already done hairstyle was messed up due to the intense movement.

  The agent in the front row frowned, "Don't be crazy, fix your hair according to the mirror. The car ride still has half an hour left, when we arrive at the broadcasting hall and get off the bus, it's the entertainment media, what image do you want to show?"

  Zhang Menglin didn't make a sound, nor did she care about her hair, but instead took out her phone and made a call. Her face showed a kind of pleased disgust, "The express delivery I sent over yesterday can be delivered now, just send it to the address I gave you yesterday... don't write anything on it."

  ………………

  Tang's Manor

  The whole family had breakfast in the restaurant without seeing Hua Zhen.

  Hua Zhen returned home crying last night, didn't have dinner, and now hasn't gotten up for breakfast. With one less chatterbox at the table, it's suddenly much quieter.

  Hua Yun's mother, Tang Yue Xin, frowned: "This girl doesn't eat well three meals a day, and when she ruins her own body, who will she blame?" As she spoke, she was about to go upstairs to find her.

  Tang Yu Jue has taken a step ahead. He kicked his wife under the table, "Auntie you eat, I'll go up with Wenwen to take a look."

  Tang Yuexin nodded slightly.

  Some things are like this when it comes to people of her generation. It's actually better to let these kids solve their own problems, and there won't be too much trouble.

  Upstairs, Tang Yukuo knocked on the door. There was no one inside to respond, so he gave his wife a signal with his eyes.

  Cheng Xiao nodded and said: "I am Wenwen."

  Because Hua Yun and Cheng Xiao Wen are not much different in age, they basically call each other by name, and Hua Yun does not call Cheng Xiao Wen "sister-in-law".

  In less than half a minute, the door of the room inside opened.

  Cheng Xiao Wen first sidled in, inside was pitch black, the thick curtains were drawn, not letting in a single ray of light. She noticed that Hua Zhen was fully dressed. Only then did she nod to Tang Yu Jue behind her, indicating that he could come in, before walking over to the window and pulling open the curtains.

  The curtains were two layers, all of which were pulled up by Huazhen. Now the curtains opened. The natural light outside was very sufficient and suddenly shone in, making the whole room bright instantly.

  Hua Yun suddenly lifted up the quilt and covered her head.

  Tang Yu Jue also had no patience, and directly walked over to lift the quilt off Hua Zhen's head: "Hua Zhen, say whatever it is clearly, you've been sulking for an entire night already."

  As the quilt was lifted, Hua Zhen suddenly jumped up, her eyes swollen like walnuts. "Can you still speak clearly? If your friend and the person you've liked for three years are together, how would you feel?! And the two of them even held hands in front of me and said, 'Tell me, oh, this is my girlfriend, this is my boyfriend, we're together now', what else can be said? It's already an established fact!"

  This sudden hysteria actually startled Tang Yukuo, just like a vegetative person who was determined to not wake up in the short term suddenly jumped up, the contrast was too great.

  Huajian was still wearing yesterday's clothes, with the red wine stain already dry on her clothes, and her hair was messy like a bird's nest.

  Cheng Xiao Wen has already sat down beside the bed, when others have a resistant heart, put aside their dignity and get closer, sitting down is the best way to reduce the feeling of oppression.

  "It depends on the situation," Cheng Xiao said, having learned some things about Hua Zhen since marrying Tang Yu Jue, "Hua Zhen, if you're really a friend, I won't mind these things. It's the same with a man, if he truly loves you, whether or not he minds your first night."

  Cheng Xiao Wen said this sentence, Hua Yun didn't have a big reaction, but Tang Yu Jue on the side couldn't help but glance at her with an expressionless face.

  Hua Yun looked at Cheng Xiao Wen and regained her calmness, because there was a kind of aura on this sister-in-law that had the magical power to make people calm down.

  "Love is something that really requires mutual affection, or let's say, it has an expiration date. Your expiration date is three years, after which it goes bad," Cheng Xiao Wen had heard Tang Qi say before, so she naturally understood that Hua Shuo's three-year pursuit was a typical one-sided love affair. "You can like Pei San and use your own methods to make him like you, so that it becomes mutual affection. However, you must set a time limit for yourself. Are you going to waste your whole life on him if he never likes you?"

  Hua Zhen shook her head: "I know, I've been trying to get out of it, but I just can't take it now... why are Song Yuqiao and Pei Si Cheng together? If we're talking about who came first, from three months ago when Song Yuqiao was assigned as an assistant to Pei Si Cheng, how long has it been? They've already gotten together? I just can't take it..."

  "Excuse me," Tang Yukuo coughed lightly, "Song Yuqiao knew Pei Si Cheng before you did."

  Hua Zhen stared with wide eyes: "How is that possible? Three years ago, when I was chasing after Pei Su to Vancouver, Song Yuqiao had just left Vancouver..."

  She suddenly stopped talking.

  Vancouver...

  This is the same location, could it be...

  Tang Yuju nodded: "Yes, Song Yuqiao went to Vancouver to find her mother after graduating from high school, where she met Pei Si Cheng. Later, Pei Si Cheng returned to Vancouver again, also to find her."

  "That Xia Chu Chu..." Huajian suddenly thought of the name Pei Si Cheng had mentioned in a newspaper or magazine before.

  "Yes, it's Song Yuqiao. I'm not clear what happened to them in Vancouver that year either. Afterwards, Pei San kept looking for her because he thought she was abroad since they met overseas, so he kept searching in North America, specifically in Canada."

  Hua Xuan sat on the bed, her face still dazed from the shock. After a long while, she finally regained some of her senses and looked at her brother: "And Pei Huanyu..."

  "I'll go downstairs and get you a copy of the document, take a look."

  This document is the paternity test result of Song Yuqiao and Bae Ho-yul.

  Hua Yun looked at the two identification reports that both clearly stated a 99% confirmation of their mother-son relationship, her hand shook and the papers fell to the floor.

  "That... why has Yu Qiao never mentioned it before?" Hua Xuan's voice was trembling, one hand clenched tightly on her skirt, but she seemed completely unaware of the action, the hem of her skirt already crumpled at her fingertips.

  "She's lost her memory," Tang Yukuo spread his hands, "you can see that she doesn't remember those things at all, not a single impression."

  Hua Yun fell into silence, her gaze falling on the two pieces of paper on the ground, and asked: "Does Yu Qiao know?"

  "Bai San hadn't had time to tell her yet."

  Hua Zhen repeatedly performed an action, back and forth, opening her fingers and then curling them up again. Finally, she picked up the two identification reports from the ground, neatly stacked them together, and placed them beside her bed.

  The mobile phone rang loudly.

  Hua Yun's mobile phone happened to be on Tang Yu Jue's left hand side, he saw the word "express delivery" written on the screen and answered it directly.

  "Excuse me, is this Huazhen? There's a package for you, please come down and pick it up."

  Tang Yu Jue hung up the phone and left her daughter-in-law here to accompany her younger sister, while she went downstairs to help Hua Shuang pick up the express delivery.

  While receiving the express delivery, he also received a call from Pei San.

  "Can you help me calm down Huazhen first? I may not be back for a few days, and when I get back, I'll talk to her myself."

  On the other end of the phone was Pei's voice accompanied by a car horn, perhaps Pei was driving on the road.

  Tang Yu said: "You don't have to rush, I've already taken care of it for you."

  Pei Si Cheng: “......”

  Tang Yu said: "I showed her your paternity test, you should have brought this out earlier... why aren't you saying anything?"

  "Is the appraisal report in your hands?"

  Tang Yu Jue still didn't understand, "Ah, last time I went to your office to find you to sign documents, I saw it and brought it along, thinking of showing it to Hua Zhen. My sister is a bit stubborn, the kind that won't cry until she sees the coffin... You know what I mean. At the time, I told your assistant to pass on the message..."

  "Which assistant?" Pei Si asked.

  "Li Bei, didn't he tell you? Do you still want the appraisal results? I think Hua Zhen has really accepted this time. If you want me to deliver..."

  The phone on Pei's side had already hung up.

  Tang Yuko listened to the busy tone in her ear, shrugged her shoulders, and held a small express delivery package in her hand, which was only wrapped in a layer of plastic paper. It felt like there was a box inside, but the mailing address column was completely blank.

  Because just now when Tang Yukuo came down, Hua Xuan said that she didn't buy anything, so now Tang Yukuo kept a mind and tore open the outer packaging paper, taking out the box inside.

  The first thing that caught his eye was a note on top with a line of words: This is what they call good friends.

  Take away the note, and underneath is a stack of photos and a USB drive.

  ………………

  Pei Si Cheng made many consecutive calls but no one answered. Finally, he received a text message from Song Yu Qiao on his phone.

  "Let's take some time apart from each other for now, we both need some quiet."

  Take some time apart?

  How long?

  Even for one second, Pei Si Cheng couldn't wait.

  He didn't call Song Yuqiao, knowing that even if he did, Song Yuqiao would definitely not answer. He just sent a message: "Don't even think about it."

  Afterwards, Pei Si Cheng went to the company and handed over the tasks of the past few days to Yu Na, giving her full authority. He said: "I'm going to S city, if everything goes smoothly, I'll go talk to Cheng Fu Qiu about that cooperation case. Isn't there a new little secretary? Let her help you handle some things first."

  Yu Na nodded and asked by the way: "What about Li Bei?"

  "Li Bei is back?" Pei Si Cheng raised an eyebrow.

  "We're back," Yu Na said, "Ling Chen arrived in the wee hours and is adjusting to the time difference."

  "Oh," Pei said, "let him go straight to India and adjust to the Indian time difference instead of adjusting to China's."

  Poor Lǐ Běi.

  Woke up from sleep and received a notice to go on a business trip to India.

  Li Bei stared at the company's email in her inbox, gazing at the computer screen for a long time without moving, and then left two lines of hot tears.

  Doesn't the boss know that India has been in turmoil recently? He doesn't want to be thrown abroad! He wants to take root firmly on Chinese soil.

  What have I done wrong again?

  Li Bei immediately asked Yu Nu for advice, and Yu Nu only said four words: "It's hard to write on exhausted bamboo."

  Then, Li Bei let out a loud wail and fell back, gasping for breath.

  ………………

  Jinshui Apartment

  In the living room, Song Shu Ying and Pei Si Cheng sat face-to-face on the sofa.

  Song Shuying said: "I'm pregnant and can't entertain you, what do you want to drink? Go get it yourself from the fridge."

  Pei Su Cheng got up and went to fetch a can of milk, then entered the kitchen, heated it in the microwave, and handed it over to Song Shuying.

  Song Shuying hooked up her lips and smiled, but didn't say anything.

  She is now more stable than Pei Si Cheng, since it was Pei Si Cheng who came to her door, he must have had a request. Compared to sitting on the fishing platform, it's naturally her.

  "Where did Qiao go?" Pei Su asked faintly.

  Song Shuying's face showed a look of surprise: "Aren't you going to work?"

  Pei Si leaned forward, "If you're really going to work, then I won't bother you. Something happened yesterday and it was a bit rushed, I want to clarify some things."

  Song Shuying sat up straight, picked up her milk cup and took a sip, "For example?"

  Pei Si's eyes were very deep, and with the backlight from the window behind him, his features looked even more defined. He lowered his eyelids, then suddenly raised them again and said: "For example, when the time is right, we'll meet each other's parents, and then it will be settled."

  Song Shuying and Pei Sucheng's eyes met, sizing him up for over ten seconds, using the psychology knowledge she had learned before to judge whether he was telling the truth or not from his subtle facial expressions.

  Then she smiled slightly: "This time you go find her, probably can directly meet her parents."

  The sentence was very clear, and Pei Si Cheng slightly nodded his head and said two words: "Thank you."

  Pei Si stood up and walked out of the door.

  Song Shuying looked at Pei Si Cheng's back and called out to him, "If you really love her, then give her a name."

  Pais slowed his pace for a moment, indicating he had heard.

  Song Shuying covered her gradually rounded belly with her hands, leaning against the back of the sofa and closing her eyes. What Song Yuqiao needed was a sense of security, in a situation where people around her were not blessing or rejoicing, but rather obstructing her, to give her the strength to keep going.

  All women are the same, which woman does not yearn for a grand wedding? Does not yearn to stand in the sun?

  I hope this time, Pei Shuai is really Song Yuqiao's good man.

  ………………

  The Pei Family Mansion.

  When they arrived, the Pei family's courtyard was in a state of chaos. As soon as Pei Si Cheng stopped the car, they could hear the continuous barking of dogs.

  He took a few steps forward, and a large dog with a dog chain around its neck ran out of the main house villa, rushing straight towards Peis Cheng.

  "Good boy!" Peas directly squatted down, helping him smooth out his fur, and the big dog was left only panting heavily, no longer barking wildly.

  Immediately afterwards, an old man and a young boy ran out from inside.

  Baile was out of control again, and Peishe pulled on his chain. "Baile, lie down, be quiet!"

  The big dog really lay down.

  Mrs. Pei was suddenly surprised, the chicken flew and the eggs were beaten for half an hour, and her third son calmed down the dog with just two sentences? This is also too humiliating for her.

  Bai Haoyu ran over, directly squatting down to hug Beller's head. Old Lady Bai was scared out of her wits and immediately pulled her grandson back, she had just seen news about a big dog biting off a child's head two days ago, it was a bloody lesson.

  "How did your dog end up here?" Peasou patted Belle's head after securing her to a rack.

  "Of course it's his dad here!"

  Actually, Pei Hangyu's implied meaning is that you said Uncle always takes Belle wherever he goes, why do you always want to get rid of me and be alone with Qiaoqiao? That's so heartless, not as good as Belle.

  Pei Youbai was in the study on the second floor, discussing work matters with Pei Linfeng. As a result of the commotion downstairs, they came down and found that Pei Si Cheng had already calmed down the agitated Beile.

  At that time, when training dogs in the troops, Pei Si Cheng had also raised a German Shepherd. When he first brought it back, it was only three months old. By the time he left the troops to go abroad, he left the dog with his squad leader to raise. So, for Beier, it's also a way of training dogs in the most ordinary way.

  Pei Yanbai looked at his old mother's expression with a lingering fear and explained, "This period is the time when Beile is in heat, so it will be unusually fierce and needs to be tied up well."

  Be careful with dogs in heat, at this time last year, Pei Yu Bai got a female Husky pregnant for Beller and welcomed a hybrid puppy of German Shepherd and Husky.

  Mrs. Pei sighed and shook her head, "Even dogs go into heat, why can't you? Hurry up and fall in love so your mom can rest assured."

  Pei Yunbai: "......"

  Pei Youbai has already settled things with Pei Linfeng and drives away to go to the company.

  "Big brother, I won't drive anymore, trouble you to take me to the airport, I'm going to S city."

  Then Peis took his son, and his son took the dog, and they got on the car.

  Pei Chenghe and Pei Xibai sat in the front seat, while Pei Huangyu and the dog sat in the back seat.

  This time, Pei opened a Jeep because Belle's body was larger and ordinary private cars couldn't hold Belle's jumping up and down.

  "Is this time going all-in?"

  "Hmm," Pei Si rubbed his temples and closed his eyes for a moment to calm himself, "to avoid having too many dreams."

  "Take Pei Haoyu along?"

  "Yeah, bringing him along might be somewhat useful."

  This little guy, who was having a great time playing with Belle, was directly grabbed by his father and taken down when it was time to get off the bus. "Dad, can't you let Belle play with me for two more days?"

  "It's no good."

  Bai Haoyu's head immediately drooped down, in sync with Beier's, and he stuck out his tongue.

  Paisley said: "Because dogs can't get on planes, they have to be shipped."

  "That's settled then...... Wait a minute, where are we going by plane?"

  "Go find Qiaoqiao."

  Bai Haoyu narrowed his eyes, looked at his dad for three seconds with great vigilance, and after confirming that everything was okay, he suddenly jumped up. Little fatty's hands directly grabbed the corner of Pei Si Cheng's clothes, and his strength was so great that it almost pulled his dad's waistband down two centimeters.

  "Don't want to leave me behind! I'm going too!"

  ………………

  On the plane, Song Yuqiao had been meditating with his eyes closed all along, but he didn't know why he opened his eyes when the flight attendant came to deliver water cups, and his face was full of tears.

  Maybe because of Hua Yun, maybe because of Pei Sheng.

  Suddenly, her heart was torn apart, as a loud cry of a baby suddenly emerged from her brain, and she couldn't help but rub her temples.

  Sitting next to Song Yuqiao was a middle-aged man who looked familiar and handed her a pack of tissues.

  Song Yuqiao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

  She didn't sleep well last night, it can be said that she didn't close her eyes for the whole night. Several times wanting to call Hua Zhen, but afraid of disturbing Hua Zhen, who would collapse on the other end.

  Although it was said that Song Yuqiao had contact with Pei Si Cheng at the time, it wasn't her initiative, but she obviously also had feelings for him, irresistibly having feelings for him...

  Song Yuqiao took out her mobile phone and first edited a text message, writing down everything she wanted to say, with over 200 words. She planned to send the message to Hua Zhen after getting off the plane.

  Just as she was about to board the plane, her phone regained signal. The over 200 words she had originally written were deleted and reduced to just three words: "I'm sorry."

  Song Yuqiao pressed the send button, pursed her lips, and suddenly felt that the sunlight on her head was a bit dazzling, stinging her eyes to the point of tears.

  She wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, put her phone in her bag, hailed a taxi and gave the driver the address of Song's house.

  ………………

  The Song family.

  Xu Yuanyi was playing with her son in the yard when four-year-old Song Qihuan suddenly shouted: "Sister!"

  "What's wrong, sister? Don't talk nonsense."

  Song Qihuan pointed at the entrance, "Mom, look! It's sister!"

  Xu Yuanyi followed her son's pointing direction and saw Song Yujiao standing at the gate, her eyelids twitching suddenly.

  The gatekeeper of the Song family did not recognize Song Yuqiao, and it would take a lot of effort for her to get in. She didn't want to reveal her identity, so she directly called her grandmother, who was answered by Wang Ayi.

  "Come directly to X Mountain, the old lady has already arrived at the temple and is waiting for you."

  Ordinary pilgrims are absolutely not allowed to stay on the mountain for a period of time every month, but Song old lady is different. She has been believing in Buddhism since she was 50 years old and now she is over 80 years old. For more than 30 years, every year, every month, she donates incense money to the temple, so naturally she can't be counted as an ordinary pilgrim. The abbot of the temple also allows Song old lady to stay in the backyard for a period of time.

  Song Yuqiao listened to the phone and turned around directly, just about to leave, when she heard a loud "Sister!" from behind.

  Song Yu turned around and saw Song Qihuan's small face smiling happily, and called out again: "Sister!"

  She had never liked this younger brother, and didn't know if it was because of his mother Xu Yuanyi's influence. His face always wore a hypocritical expression, clearly disliking her and her sister Song Shuying to death, yet still putting on an appearance as if he were delighted to see them return.

  Xu Yuanyi said: "Is your mom back? Your dad happens to be at home today, I'll ask the kitchen to add a few more dishes, let's have lunch at home this afternoon?"

  Song Yuqiao turned around, her face expressionless. She didn't want to fawn over this woman just because she was the current mistress of the Song household. That wasn't who she was. When she left the Song household back then, aside from one grandmother, there was no one else she could rely on. Song Hui had already abandoned her, and a stepmother with a bad reputation didn't count for anything.

  Song Yuqiao directly refused, saying: "No way, I'm just here to find grandma."

  "Mom is going to the mountain to stay in a temple for a while, if you want to go, I'll send a car to take you there. Go see grandma and come back at night to have dinner. I will ask someone to clean your room."

  "Thank you, no need." Song Yuqiao had already stopped a taxi in front of him and got on without any hesitation.

  Xu Yuanyi watched the taxi drive away, and didn't say anything else. She hugged Song Jinghuan in her arms, turned around and entered the Song family's courtyard, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

  "Mom, why is my sister ignoring me? Didn't she hear me?"

  Xu Yuanyi said coldly: "She is not your sister, your father only has one son, you."

  ………………

  Paisong got off the plane with his son just before noon.

  Bai Haoyu had eaten a lot on the plane, and at this time, it didn't matter whether it was delicious or not, as long as he could fill his stomach and then have the energy to find Qiao Qiao.

  However, when Dad finally brought him to the mountain he had been climbing all day, exhausted and panting, he saw a temple gate with "Lingyun Temple" written on it.

  In an instant, Pei Hangyu's hair all stood up, he directly shook off his father's hand and jumped back a step.

  "Dad, you actually want to sell me out and make me a little monk!"
