Cao Yi was unprepared and was kicked to the ground in public. Just as he was about to get up and fight back, two young men held down his arms. The young men stood beside him, one on the left and the other on the right. They were clearly holding him down, but they said, "Brother Pei, forget it. We all know that you can't stand such scumbags who bully women, but we You can't argue with this kind of scum, right?"
While persuading, the two men twisted Cao Yi's arm desperately, causing Cao Yi to turn pale with pain.
It was clearly him who was injured now, but the people watching all around said that he was wrong and bullied the little girl until her eyes were red. Fortunately, these young people were kind-hearted, otherwise the two little girls would have been beaten. .
Cao Yi could hardly believe his ears. When was he going to hit a woman?
"Mr. Pei?" Hua Jin didn't expect that she would see Pei Yan twice in one day. She glanced at the two young men who helped Pei Yan hold Cao Yi down and smiled gratefully at them.
"When I pass by someone for a meal, I can see you being bullied." Pei Yan saw Hua Jin being scolded and still maintaining a smile on his face, feeling like he was in a ball with nowhere to go. Angry, he glared at Hua Jin several times, took a deep breath, turned his head and crossed his chest with his hands, looked at Cao Yi from the corners of his eyes for a while, flicked the non-existent dust on his sleeves with his slender white fingers, "There is something next to you. Let’s go out and talk slowly about the meaning of traditional handicrafts in a small park.”
After finishing speaking, he walked a few steps forward. Seeing that Hua Jin did not follow, he stopped and looked at her: "Let's go."
Hua Jin shook Tan Yuan's hand and pulled her to follow Pei Yan. Pei Yan glanced at the hands held by the two of them, raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and walked to the cashier, took out a few pieces of money from his wallet and put them on before striding out of the store.
Cao Yi didn't want to be watched by the customers in the coffee shop, and he couldn't beat a few men, so he had to be "invited" out in silence. When he stepped out of the store, he turned his attention to Tan Yuan, but Tan Yuan did not look back at him.
"It's nice here. There are few people and the air is good. It's not a dark corner. In case some people go back and say I'm bullying others." Pei Yan wiped the water on the public chair and patted the empty seat next to him after sitting down. , said to Hua Jin: "Come and sit together."
Hua Jin took Tan Yuan and sat down together. After walking for a while, Tan Yuan had calmed down and just lowered his head, feeling very depressed.
"Tell me, did Hua Jin dig your ancestral graves or borrow money from you and not repay it, so that you can say such unpleasant things?" Pei Yan half-squinted his eyes, and anyone could tell that he was unhappy.
Cao Yi did not answer. At this moment, he was obviously standing and this man who appeared out of nowhere was sitting, but the other man's aura still overwhelmed him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Pei Yan didn't let him go: "Have you studied for so many years and learned to show your superiority in front of others?" He remembered that he was outside just now, listening to Cao Yi and a village girl scolding Hua Jin. , Pei Yan couldn't help but change his sitting position. He was afraid that he would lose control and kick someone again, "What's wrong with the village girl? Your ancestors have been city dwellers for eighteen generations? An adult in his twenties, others I don’t have any skills, but I’m very skilled at making fun of others with my own background. With your family’s little wealth, what can you show off?”
He raised his chin and said to the young man standing on Cao Yi's left: "Lao Wang, let me introduce you."
"I'm sorry, I'm showing off my humiliation." The man named Lao Wang smiled modestly, "My family's background is quite average. We just own more than 20 supermarket chains, and we also opened some hotels in partnership with others. We can't be on the stage. No countertops allowed."
Tan Yuan had tears in his eyes, but after hearing Lao Wang introduce himself, he felt a little funny for no reason. She was afraid that the atmosphere would be too embarrassing if she laughed, so she stretched out her hand and rubbed her nose several times before suppressing her laughter.
Hua Jin tilted her head and whispered in Pei Yan's ear: "Mr. Pei, do you know what Qiu Fu means?"
"Huh?" Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"That's how I am." Hua Jin pointed to her face, "Jealousy is already written here."
Pei Yan looked at Hua Jin's face carefully. His skin was white and rosy, with almost no flaws visible. There is a pink-white wound the size of a fingernail on the chin close to the ear...
He quickly looked away and turned to look at the grass swaying in the wind on the other side: "What's there to see?"
Hua Jin bared her teeth and smiled at him. After looking at Cao Yi, the smile on her face slowly dissipated: "Cao Yi, in the past few years since you and Tangyuan have been in love, I haven't had much interaction with you. Although I'm not a lovable person, but I think I have never offended you. I really don't understand why you want to use me as a talking point to bully you."
"If there are any conflicts and knots between lovers, they can communicate slowly. Talking too much will only hurt the harmony." Hua Jin's tone was a little cold, "Is it interesting that you bully Tangyuan like this?"
"Am I bullying her?" Cao Yi couldn't help but retort, "You are the one who is hurting her. If she hadn't opened a store with you in the past few years, she would have found a job with good development prospects and high wages. How could she do this? Staying in a small shop making lacquerware? Aren't you her friend? Since you are her friend, you should advise her to take the right path and not waste time and life on lacquerware."
"I am her friend, so I respect her choice." The more Hua Jin listened, the more she felt that this was wrong, "What does it mean to follow the right path? Lacquerware has been passed down for thousands of years and is a kind of legacy left to us by our ancestors. Gift, do you think this is not the right way? Cao Yi, I think you have read all the books you have read in the dog's belly over the years."
"You called me a dog?!"
"What's wrong with scolding you? If you have the guts to bark and bite me." Hua Jin put her arms around Tan Yuan's shoulders and protected her in his arms, "Tang Yuan, don't be afraid, I will take care of you from now on."
"Screw you, you eat more than me. You can't tell who feeds whom." Tan Yuan was amused by Hua Jin's words, "It's shameless."
"I will support you even if I am picking up garbage." Hua Jin took the opportunity to touch Tan Yuan's soft cheek, "I am much more reliable than some men."
Pei Yan looked at the interaction between Hua Jin and Tan Yuan, and his expression became subtle little by little.
"Cao Yi, let's go." With Hua Jin's company, Tan Yuan gradually became firmer, "I don't know what will happen in the future, at least now I don't want to give up. The relationship we have had for so many years has made us good Let's get together and part ways. Besides...my Huahua is the most beautiful village flower, and you are not more advanced than her."
After saying this, Tan Yuan didn't want to tangle with Cao Yi anymore, so she got up and left. Hua Jin was worried that something would happen to her alone, so she quickly followed her.
"Brother Pei, what should we do now?" The few people who came with Pei Yan saw that Hua Jin and Tan Yuan had left, and they didn't know what to do with Cao Yi for a while.
"I won't attend the dinner tonight." Pei Yan stood up, glanced at Cao Yi, and said with a mocking smile, "What the hell."
Being stared at with such contemptuous eyes made him furious, but Cao Yi guessed that these people were not ordinary people and did not dare to talk back.
"I thought he was a man with a lot of personality. He didn't say a word in front of us, but his voice was quite loud when he yelled at women." Pei Yan snorted, "That's all."
After saying that, he kicked Cao Yi on the knee again, bent down and looked down at Cao Yi who was lying on the ground: "Although that woman Hua Jin is very annoying, you are not worthy of scolding her, do you understand? ”
After saying the harsh words, he stood up straight, straightened his shirt, and said, "Let's go."
When Pei Yan walked away, the few people left behind gathered around Cao Yida and said, "Brother, you are really capable of bullying Brother Pei's friends."
"I respect you for being a man!"
"I advise you not to harass other girls in the future. Live a good life, which is more important than anything else."
Cao Yi got up from the ground and looked at the rich second generation leaving arm in arm. The expression on his face was green and white, but he no longer had the urge to look for Tan Yuan again.
Not long after Hua Jin and Tan Yuan had gone far, Pei Yan chased after them in a car: "Get in the car."
This time Hua Jin was not polite and directly pulled Tan Yuan into the car.
"Should I send her back first and then you?" Pei Yan asked.
"Yes." Hua Jin nodded, "She has been tired for a day, so she should go back and rest early."
Pei Yan didn't say anything more, and the car became quiet. It wasn't until the car stopped outside Tan Yuan's community that Tan Yuan put his arms around Hua Jin's neck and said with red eyes: "Huahua, thank you, and I'm sorry."
"What are you thinking about?" Hua Jin patted her back gently, "Go back and have a good sleep. Nothing will happen. Your ex-boyfriend said stupid things. What does it have to do with you? Do you want to Be a scapegoat?"
Tan Yuan cried and laughed, let go of Hua Jin's neck, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Hua Jin watched Tan Yuan walk into the gate of the community before looking back.
"Aren't you coming with me?" Pei Yan asked.
"No." Hua Jin shook her head, "At this time, what she needs most is silence. If I were there, it would only increase her sadness and guilt."
Pei Yan started the car: "That man scolded you like that, aren't you angry?"
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" Hua Jin asked.
Pei Yan: "..."
Laughing lightly, Hua Jin leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and said slowly: "The lie is that there is nothing to be angry about. I don't have the same experience as him."
"Where's the truth?"
"Of course I'm angry, I'm not a saint." Hua Jin raised her lips, "But I'm used to it. I came to this city when I was less than eighteen years old, and I haven't received any kind of scolding. Sometimes. It’s no longer easy to make a living, so there’s no time to get angry at other people’s words.”
"But no matter how difficult the life was, I still met kind people when I almost couldn't hold on any longer." Hua Jin opened her eyes, looked at the back of Pei Yan's head, and said slowly, "So I am still lucky. ."
"Good Samaritan?" Pei Yan stopped the car at the traffic light and turned to look at Hua Jin.
"Yes." Hua Jin smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I have met many kind-hearted people."
Pei Yan felt that Hua Jin's eyes were too gentle at the moment, so he avoided her gaze: "Then you are indeed very lucky." Unlike those people around him who would only try their best to make him When investing, or sometimes going out for a meal, you will be chased and intercepted by these people.
"Let's find a place to have dinner later." Hua Jin looked out the window, "I'll treat you."
"Please me?"
"Well, thank you for the treat." Hua Jin smiled again.
"No need," Pei Yan said with a sullen face, "I just happened to pass by."
"Even if it's just a coincidence, I still want to thank you."
