Chapter 835: Chapter 021: you have to pay it back, you have to pay it back
The scoundrel expression on Ling Jing’s face made Su Peizhen frown. She tried, but she didn’t push him away. She looked at him coldly, and her tone didn’t change at all.
“Does it have anything to do with me? Did I ask you to pick me up? And if you don’t bring me, Will I appear there?”
“Woman.”Ling Jing was so angry that he lowered his head and bit her neck. “Let me tell you, you have to pay it back today, or else –”
He hugged Su Peizhen and turned around. His tone was full of threats. “I don’t mind making it so that you can’t get out of bed.”
Crazy.
Su Peizhen pushed him, but how could a man’s strength be comparable to hers?
He restrained her limbs and didn’t let her escape. He looked down at her face with a slight smile.
“How is it? Do you admit defeat?”
“Are you going to let me go?”
“Aren’t you going to pay me back?”
..
Su Peizhen took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She stared at Ling Jing’s long and narrow eyes with hidden anger in her voice.
“What do you want?”
“You owe me twice and stay with me for two days. It’s not too much, right?”
“I said, I have to go to work.”
“Don’t worry. If you don’t work for one day, you will close down. You Don’t have to open this company anymore.”
Su Peizhen narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the scoundrel on Ling Jing’s face. “Who told you that I run a company?”
Her bright eyes were full of sharpness. Even though she was suppressed by him, her aura didn’t decrease.
“You still need someone to tell me that.”Ling Jing leaned over and kissed her face. His expression was as light as usual. “You took two million packs of me for half a year. Don’t tell me that you’re just an ordinary white-collar worker.”
This reasoning was also reasonable. Su Peizhen glanced at him. “Can you let me go first?”
“No.”Ling Jing was very shameless. “You pay the debt first.”
If it was before yesterday, Su Peizhen would have kicked this man to the point where he couldn’t take care of himself.
Thinking of being pulled by this crazy man to crash a car and almost having a car accident yesterday, although her voice was still very cold, she didn’t struggle anymore.
“How do you want to pay it back? Let’s make it clear first, I’m not going out.”It was too cold outside. Even though she was used to the temperature in Rongcheng, she still didn’t like the dry feeling of the wind on her face.
“If you’re not going out, then I’m not going out. How about you stay at home with me for a day?”
Childish. Su Peizhen resisted the urge to beat the man up. “If I don’t have sex, I’m still very uncomfortable.”
Her legs were soft, and her waist was sore. She really didn’t want to come again.
“Okay, as long as you accompany me for one day.”Ling Jing seemed to be very happy that he had achieved his goal.
He smiled with a faint smile on his face. When he smiled, his eyes were very bright. They were obviously Red Phoenix eyes, but there was no femininity in them. It only made people feel that this person’s smile was very —
She thought of the next word to describe a man’s smile. Su.
Ling Jing’s smile made people feel that he was indeed quite su. She tapped on his chest, indicating for him to let go of her.
Knowing that she would not run away today, Ling Jing got up and turned around to hug her waist. “We agreed that you would accompany me all day today.”
“You are very annoying.”
“If you scold me again, I will force you to do it again. No, one more day.”
Su Peizhen didn’t intend to continue going crazy with him. She got up to tidy herself up. She was too lazy to cook, so she called Xiao Zhao to send breakfast over.
She didn’t really like to eat takeout. Although she could accept lowering some of the requirements in life. But she still persisted.
Xiao Zhao came very quickly and brought Chinese breakfast from a five-star hotel.
Su Peizhen and Ling Jing sat together to eat breakfast. The man’s gaze was fixed on her. Even though she tried her best to ignore it, she still felt as if there was a knife at her back.
“What are you looking at?”
“I’m Looking at you.”Ling Jing stopped eating. “I’m looking at you because you’re beautiful.”
Crazy. Su Peizhen lowered her head and ignored this guy. Ling Jing was very interested. “Say, you’re so beautiful. Why Don’t you go find a boyfriend?”
Could it be that he was still thinking about that Huo Guy? Tsk. What kind of judgment was that.
Su Peizhen took his words as a hint. She raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly. “The agreement between US doesn’t seem to include the right for you to interfere in my affairs?”
“How is this interfering? I’m just curious. I want to ask. is that not okay?”
Su Peizhen put down the milk in her hand and leaned back slightly. “What About You? You’re so young. You Don’t have a good job, but you have to be someone’s Gigolo?”
“...”Ling Jing was speechless. She was the one who suggested it, okay?
He didn’t say anything, and Su Peizhen got some peace and quiet.
After dinner, she wanted to go to the study room, but Ling Jing pulled her to sit on the sofa in the living room.
“Didn’t you say you’ll accompany me? Then you’re not allowed to deal with business, any business at all.”
Su Peizhen glanced at him. “What do you want?”
“I want you to accompany me.”
“When you say you want to accompany me, are you just going to sit like this?”
“Then watch TV.”Ling Jing turned on the TV as he spoke. “I originally wanted you to accompany me to watch a movie outside, but you said you wouldn’t go out.”
The Li family Villa had a screening room. When they wanted to watch something, they could watch it directly at home.
In such a small apartment, only the TV could watch it. Ling Jing held her in one hand and the remote control in the other. He randomly changed a few channels. They were all melodramatic romantic dramas or Qing palace dramas.
Not to mention Ling Jing, Su Peizhen herself was the first one not to watch them.
“Watch this.”Ling Jing stopped the remote control in his hand. Su Peizhen glanced at the screen. It was actually showing “Cherry Ball.”.
She glanced at Ling Jing with a look of unspeakable disdain.
“What kind of Look is that? Don’t look down on cartoons. I should look at Cherry Ball since you’re half dead.”
Crazy. Su Peizhen wanted to get up from his arms.
“You can look if you want to, but I won’t.”
“Don’t be like this. Haven’t you heard? As long as you’re alive, you’ll definitely encounter good things. Don’t you think it’s very inspiring and chicken soup?”
In fact, Ling Jing had never seen Cherry Ball before, but the author of this manga seemed to have passed away some time ago. There were reports on the news, so he casually took a few glances.
He didn’t read the main contents of his life and past seriously, but he remembered this sentence.
Su Peizhen finally had some expression on her face. She turned her face to look at Ling Jing with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
“The so-called chicken soup is for those who are not strong-willed. A truly strong person doesn’t need chicken soup at all.”
“That makes sense.”Ling Jing nodded and placed the remote control in Su Peizhen’s hand. “Then you choose. What do you want to see?”
Su Peizhen glanced at him. After thinking for a moment, she took the remote control.
Ling Jing didn’t expect that Su Peizhen was actually watching ‘Shawshank’s redemption’. He couldn’t help but glance at her, but Su Peizhen didn’t look at him. She just fixed her eyes on the scene.
It was a very heavy movie. There was almost no fun to be had.
From the beginning, it was a heavy color, a gray prison, and a gray sky. But there seemed to be something else in that gray.
Su Peizhen listened to the original sound. The main character in it, Andy Dufresne, looked at his old Buddy Rhett, who had been with him for decades. He said, “I hope it’s a good thing.”
Ling Jing looked at Su Peizhen’s lips moving. He pulled her waist into his arms. “Didn’t you say that strong people don’t need chicken soup?”
Su Peizhen was silent. At this moment, Ling Jing gently bit her earlobe. “So, you admit that you need chicken soup?”
So you admit that her will is not firm?
Su Peizhen ignored him. She indeed did not need chicken soup. But before this, she had been competing with herself.
But after last night, Su Peizhen suddenly reconciled with her.
Whether it was a tragedy in life, a comedy, sadness, or sadness. Even if the heart was empty, no matter what, it was good to be alive.
Almost every one of the women sister Shi mentioned had their own past that they had no choice about.
The Tragedy of life was sometimes hard to explain in a word. It was better to face what had happened and what was in the past than to avoid it.
Rather than struggling, it was better to let it go.
The phone rang. Su Peizhen frowned slightly and pushed Ling Jing away. She got up and went to get the phone.
Looking at the number on it, she was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a few seconds, she picked it up.
She didn’t speak, but Su Chenghui wasn’t angry at all.
“Peizhen, you finally picked up my call. I called you on New Year’s Day, why didn’t you pick up?”
“Outside.”Previously, she had brought Xiang caiping abroad. At first, she had forgotten to bring her cell phone. Later, when she saw it, she didn’t know if she should call back.
“I called you on the Lantern Festival, but you didn’t pick up.”Su Chenghui’s voice was a little worried. “Peizhen, are you still blaming Dad?”
Blaming?
Su Peizhen didn’t know what to say. Xiang caiping liked to say that too. Did Su Chenghui like to say that too?
“No.”
She didn’t blame anyone.
“Then, dad is in Rongcheng now. I want to see you and have a meal together. Is that okay?”
Su Peizhen didn’t agree immediately. Her lips formed a straight line. After thinking for a while, she said, “Does she know?”
Without a title, Su Peizhen believed that Su Chenghui knew what she meant.
“Qianxue knows. Don’t think too much. Your... your aunt isn’t that kind of person.”
Su Chenghui wanted to say your mother, but this title was no longer appropriate.
Su Peizhen remained silent. She wanted to see Su Chenghui. After all, he was her father, and he loved her so much. But —
“Just the two of us?”
“Yes. Just the two of us. Do you want to come?”
Su Peizhen tightened her grip on her phone, but she began to walk into the room. “Where is the address?”
“I’m not familiar with Rongcheng. Why Don’t you tell me the place?”Su Chenghui had actually been to Rongcheng many times, but he respected his daughter’s opinion more.
“Okay. Then let’s go to the Plum Garden.”Su Peizhen went into the bedroom, opened the wardrobe, and started to pick out clothes. “I’ll send you the address later.”
After hanging up the phone, Su Peizhen changed her clothes, picked up her bag, and put her phone on. When she was about to go out, she saw Ling Jing blocking the door of the room with a dissatisfied look on his face. “You’re going out?”
“Yes.”
“You said you wouldn’t go out.”
Su Peizhen looked at her like she was looking at a fool. “I have something to do. Move aside.”
“I want to go too.”Ling Jing was being a scoundrel today. This damnable woman, she said she wanted to return him, but she ran away again?
It really made him want to teach her a hard lesson.
Su Peizhen took a step back and looked at him coldly. “Are you going to let her go?”
“No.”Ling Jing was tall and stood in front of the door, not giving Su Peizhen any chance to go out.
“Ling Jing.”Su Peizhen’s face darkened. “Don’t forget your identity. What right do you have to stop me?”
It was fine if she didn’t mention her identity, but once she mentioned her identity, Ling Jing immediately exploded.
He took two steps forward and pressed Su Peizhen against the wall. “What identity do I have? HMM? Tell me.”
“I’m just a gigolo.”Su Peizhen didn’t mind how hurtful these words were. But it was the truth. “Ling Jing, if you still want to continue, get out of my way.”
“Woman.”Ling Jing was so angry that he lowered his head and was about to bite her lips. How could Su Peizhen let him have his way? She tilted her head and pushed him.
“Ling Jing, don’t forget that I can break off this relationship at any time.”
“Woman, don’t forget that you still owe me twice.”
What do you mean ‘owe’? Didn’t he say it himself? Su Peizhen didn’t want to waste time with him. Seeing that he was about to get closer, she raised her foot and kicked at his lower body.
Ling Jing didn’t expect that this damn woman would still dare to make a move at this time?
Su Peizhen didn’t give him a chance to react. She wasn’t a person who had the patience to come and play such an “Unimportant”role like Ling Jing.
“Ling Jing, I’ll say it one more time. Stop messing around.”
That word ‘messing around’made Ling Jing stop what he was doing. What did it mean?
What did she do to him? Did she think he was a woman? Crying and making a scene?
In her dreams. He was a man.
Damn woman, just you wait. Do you think I can’t do anything to You? I’m waiting for the day you come to beg me.
..
What Ling Jing thought was not within Su Peizhen’s consideration. She got into the car. When she drove out of the underground parking lot, she glanced at the Cadillac parked at the side.
Her tone just now was not very good, but she really did not like Ling Jing’s increasingly shameless attitude.
If a pet that she raised could not have some self-awareness, then she would change people. After all, she didn’t care about men.
But when the car stopped at the plum garden, Su Peizhen had already completely calmed down. Although it was indeed Ling Jing who asked her to accompany him today, she had promised him.
Since she had promised someone else, she naturally had to do it. She had broken her promise. No Wonder Ling Jing was angry.
He could probably understand Ling Jing’s mentality. After all, she was his financier. It seemed normal for him to want her to accompany him.
Forget it. I’ll accompany him tomorrow.
When Su Peizhen entered the room, Su Chenghui happened to be here. When he saw her, he smiled. He walked up and sized her up.
“Dad.”
“Peizhen.”Su Chenghui retracted his gaze and looked at Su Peizhen’s face. He noticed that she looked pretty good. “You’re here. Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“No, I just arrived too.”
When Su Peizhen arrived, she had already made a reservation. It was not easy to make a reservation here. Fortunately, it was not the weekend, so there were not many people.
She booked a small private room and brought Su Chenghui in to sit down.
After the daily greetings, the two of them entered a state of silence. The waiter brought in some tea and poured it for them. He took out a tablet and let them order.
Su Chenghui took the tablet from the waiter and looked at the pictures on it. Then, he looked up at Su Peizhen.
“Beijing-style lobster, braised abalone, soft-fried fresh shellfish, amber peach kernel, clear soup, swallow vegetable, osmanthus and sugar lotus root. How does Peizhen feel about the flying dragon soup?”
Su Peizhen didn’t say anything. These dishes were her favorite in the past. She nodded and said, “It’s okay.”
“Then that’s it.”Su Chenghui returned the tablet to the waiter.
Only the father and daughter were left in the private room. For a moment, there was silence. After the room quieted down, Su Chenghui spoke first.
“How have you been recently?”
“I’m fine.”
She looked pretty good. Su Chenghui knew that this daughter of his had always been proud, but he was afraid that she wouldn’t be used to it.
He was even more afraid that after experiencing the ups and downs of life, there would be times when she wouldn’t be used to it.
“Peizhen, I actually came here a few days ago. I went to see Qingsang. Are you angry?”
“No.”What was there to be angry about? She was already angry. Yesterday, she almost lost her life because of this.
Su Peizhen did not want to continue this topic. These so-called debts and guilt were worthless to her after the incident. She picked up the teapot and poured su Chenghui a cup of tea. “This Junshan silver needle is not bad.”
Su Chenghui could clearly see that she had not let go of her escape. Although her daughter’s personality was not like that in the past, who knew if it would change after so many things?
“Peizhen, have you ever thought of returning to Forest City?”
“Return to Forest City?”Su Peizhen’s hand that was holding the teacup paused. “Why return to Forest City?”
“Look, you’re in Rongcheng, so far away from Lin City. If anything happens, I can’t take care of you. If you were in Lin City, dad would be able to take care of you.”
“No need.”Su Peizhen lowered her head and didn’t look at him. “I’m not a child anymore. I don’t need someone to take care of me.”
This was a bit like saying angry words. “Peizhen –”
“Dad, stop talking. I Won’t go back to Forest City. Besides, if I go back, what will happen to my mother?”
Xiang caiping had nothing now and was the only one left.
With Xiang Caiping’s personality, how could she be willing to go back to Forest City?
Su Chenghui didn’t speak. There was a chance to make up for some guilt. However, there was a bit of guilt that he couldn’t make up for in this lifetime.
What he owed Xiang caiping could never be made up for.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t come back. If you have something to say, just tell me.”Su Chenghui was afraid that she would mind, so he added, “In Dad’s heart, you will always be my daughter. This will never change.”
“Okay.”Su Peizhen lowered her head, and her eyes were a little sour. She suppressed that emotion.
The waiter began to serve the dishes. Su Chenghui knew that Su Peizhen would not go back with him, so he talked about other things.
“Previously, I invested in some projects in Rongcheng. Although I didn’t have the largest share and investment, it was still a lot. I don’t often have time to stay here. Peizhen, I believe in your ability. If you are willing, dad wants to hand some of these things over to you. How about it?”
“No need.”Su Peizhen shook her head. “My mother has two department stores under her name. I am currently managing them. I have something to do.”
“I know, but such a small company is a little too big for you. I am very clear about your ability. I was serious when I said those words. Peizhen, I really hope that you can come and help me?”
It was to help, but also to give her more opportunities to display her strengths. Su Peizhen understood. She lowered her head and remained silent.
