MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 58
In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the second day.
Pei Yi opened the car window and looked up at the domineering gold-lettered signboard of "Haodu", feeling a little uneasy that the storm was about to come—
In the original plot, as the "cannon fodder", the original owner is not qualified to be involved in the core plot, but facing Bo Yueming's invitation last night, Pei Yi only agreed after two or three seconds.
In addition to being curious about the development of the next real trajectory, he also cares about Li Yu'an, who is already a partner.
According to the development of the original plot, the other party is likely to suffer the first wave of major blows tonight, which will affect the subsequent mentality.
Pei Yi is selfish.
He didn't want to see Bo Yueming blacken himself for those scumbags and bring about his own tragic ending, and he also didn't want his partner Li Yu'an to meet the fate in the original book.
Bo Yueming noticed that the people around him were absent-minded, and asked in a low voice, "Pei Yi, what's wrong?"
Pei Yi turned sideways, "Huh?"
Bo Yueming asked, "You feel restless today, are you uncomfortable?"
"No."
Pei Yi shook her head, and couldn't help revealing a little bit, "Second brother, do you trust my intuition? I always feel that something big is going to happen today."
Hearing the mysterious muttering, Bo Yueming immediately grabbed the kitten's paw, "Yeah."
Pei Yi lowered her eyes, "Huh?"
Bo Yueming held hands tighter, "No matter what happens, you just need to stay by my side obediently, and don't run around without my permission."
He doesn't care about "big things", he only cares about Pei Yi himself.
"The bruises on your arms are good. You only need to eat a meal tonight. Don't get hurt again. It makes me worry."
Pei Yi felt the heat in her palm, but she couldn't tell whether the warmth belonged to Bo Yueming or to himself.
"I can take care of myself."
Pei Yi shook her tight hand unconsciously, and said out of nowhere, "Get out of the car, the heating in the car is turned up a bit."
"good."
Bo Yueming responded with a smile, and motioned for Old Fu to drive the car to the entrance of the hotel.
The two got out of the car through the same side door.
Pei Yi looked at Bo Yueming's clean face and asked in surprise, "You don't wear those glasses anymore?"
Bo Yueming explained in a low voice, "The tea-black lenses are uncomfortable to wear for a long time, you and Yan Cen are both aware of my situation, so I don't wear them when I rarely go out to eat."
The imperial capital is so big, how can it be so easy to meet acquaintances? Even if you encounter it, you can still pretend carefully.
Even though he thought so in his heart, Bo Yueming bent down and deliberately asked, "Xiao Mister, help me keep an eye on it."
"..."
Her lips were almost pressed against her ears, and the warm and ambiguous breath wafted around, bewitching.
Pei Yi dodged sensitively and restrainedly, "You, don't stick so close."
Bo Yueming caught a glimpse of his red earlobes and asked knowingly, "Why?"
Pei Yi pretended to be stupid and stunned, "There is no reason."
Bo Yueming chuckled and didn't ask any more questions.
He just wanted Pei Yi to subtly get used to his close contact. Of course, if the other party showed any "unsuitability", he would stop in time.
As soon as the two of them entered the hotel lobby led by the waiter, they heard a familiar greeting, "Yue Ming, Mr. Pei Xiao, this way."
Bo Yue Mingchao's friend showed a secret look of knowing each other, and then looked away before the waiter found out, "When did you arrive? Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I arrived ten minutes early." Yan Cen cooperated with the acting, "I'm afraid that your eyesight will be inconvenient, so I sat in the lounge area of the lobby and waited for you."
Then, he nodded to Pei Yiyou again.
Even though it was not the first time for the two to meet, Pei Yi had to admit that Yan Cen was indeed like what was said in the book—he could always show the most gentle and elegant side to outsiders.
"Is it settled? Which floor?" Bo Yueming took the initiative to ask, and raised the hand he was holding, intentionally or unintentionally, "Pei Yi is hungry."
"..."
Pei Yi was stunned, when did he say he was hungry?
Yan Cen lowered his eyes slightly, and he, who has been with Bo Yueming for more than ten years, saw through his friend's little show off, and smiled faintly, "Suddenly I regret asking you to dinner."
Some people, why are they so naive when they have a wife?
Bo Yueming pretended not to understand his friend's complaints, and lightly rubbed the back of his kitten's hand with his fingertips, feeling satisfied.
"I'll just take it up, you stay."
Yan Cen sent off the waiter who led the way, and "led" Bo Yueming and Pei Yi to the elevator hall, "On the 17th floor, I reserved a seat by the window, and apart from the waiter serving food, basically there will be no other customers walking around." .”
Haodu is the earliest star-rated restaurant with high configuration in the Imperial Capital. It has three floors, including a restaurant for small gatherings and a banquet hall for large events.
Pei Yi understood Yan Cen's intention of choosing a seat, and subconsciously said to Bo Yueming, "That's good, so you don't have to be too cautious when eating."
When Yan Cen heard Pei Yi's fluent speed and way of speaking, he felt a trace of uncontrollable surprise, "Mr. Pei Xiao, you are..."
Pei Yi was slow to realize that she had missed a trap, and couldn't help but exchange a glance with Bo Yueming.
If you want to blame, you can only blame him for getting used to being free in front of Bo Yueming, taking everything for granted.
Bo Yueming understood, and took the initiative to explain briefly to his friend, "It's a long story, Pei Yi's situation is similar to mine, and she had to put on an air in front of outsiders before."
Pei Yi acquiesced in Bo Yueming's frankness.
Although "Yan Cen" and "Bo Yueming" had an ugly fight at the end of the original book, but facing the current Yan Cen, he intuitively felt that the other party could be trusted.
It took Yan Cen a few seconds to accept the sudden truth. He recalled all the past, and after answering, he didn't ask any more questions.
Everyone has their own way of dealing with the world, but here at Yan Cen, they just don't ask what they shouldn't ask, don't care about what they shouldn't care about, and don't say what they don't dare to say.
He trusted Bo Yueming, a friend of more than ten years, and was also willing to keep a little trust in Pei Yi.
Ding dong.
The elevator door sounded a reminder before opening the door.
Bo Yueming and Pei Yi tacitly restrained their expressions, in case there were other people in the elevator.
Yan Cen saw this "both face-changing", and pushed the glasses frame with a suppressed smile—
Come on, it's really a match made in heaven!
The elevator door opened slowly, and the two parties inside and outside saw each other clearly, and the atmosphere suddenly stagnated for a moment.
Pei Yi looked at Pei Huan and Deng Xiuya who hadn't seen each other for a long time in the elevator, a gleam of clarity flashed in her lowered eyes again, and she still pretended to be stupid and didn't say hello on the surface.
"..."
Pei Huan came up from the underground parking lot, and he never expected to meet someone he knew on the first floor.
His eyes swept across the faces of Pei Yi and Bo Yueming, and finally met Yan Cen's gaze, "Senior, Boss, and Xiao Yi, what a coincidence."
When talking, he showed the most common smile, and took the initiative to press and hold the door open button of the elevator, "Do you want to come in?"
Yan Cen calmly avoided eye contact with Pei Huan, and made a decision, "Yue Ming, let's go up."
He checked the other two elevators, but he got stuck on the upper floor and couldn't get down.
"good."
The three entered the elevator.
Pei Yi was too lazy to catch sight of the mother and son Pei Huan and Deng Xiuya, so she just shrank beside Bo Yueming and didn't speak.
When Deng Xiuya saw this little nephew whom she hadn't seen for a long time, the unhappiness of the past remained in her heart.
She originally thought that within a few days after entering Bo's house, Pei Yi would find Bo Yueming's disgust and leave him at home to communicate and ignore him. Who would have thought that after several months, the two would still go in and out together?
Deng Xiuya noticed the hands of the two, and gathered her expensive shawl, feeling even more disdainful in her heart—
Looking at the entire imperial capital, only the blind would treat fools as treasures!
Pei Huan, who was closest to the elevator buttons, said, "Senior, which floor are you going to?"
Yan Cen replied, "The seventeenth floor."
Pei Huan pressed the button before he stretched out his hand, and took the initiative to invite, "It just so happens that I have a birthday party on the 18th floor today. Since we met by fate, do you want to go together, senior?"
"Birthday party?"
Yan Cen's eyes flickered slightly, "Today is your birthday too?"
Pei Huan finally met his gaze, and his smile deepened unconsciously, "Hmm! Are you coming?"
Yan Cen looked at Bo Yueming and Pei Yi beside him, thoughtful.
Since it was Pei Huan's birthday, Pei Yi, the young master of the Pei family, didn't receive an invitation in advance? Doesn't this show that the relationship between the two parties is not good? Plus everything I heard and saw before—
Yan Cen regained his composure, and declined, "No need, Yue Ming, Young Master Pei and I will just eat something."
When Pei Yi heard the changed voice of "Young Master Pei", a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes.
Sure enough, he is the male lead in the original novel who can be compared to Bo Yueming. His speech not only left people with affection, but also quietly gave some hints.
Pei Huan's smile froze when he heard the implication.
But before he could say another word, the elevator reached the seventeenth floor.
Bo Yueming, who was too lazy to speak out, took Pei Yi out "cautiously", and Yan Cen followed, ending the brief exchange.
The elevator doors closed again.
Pei Huan's smile disappeared instantly, and Deng Xiuya couldn't help but say, "Xiao Huan, what are you going to invite them to do? Just that little idiot Pei Yi, if he goes crazy and makes trouble at the banquet, why not make your grandfather unhappy?"
"Mom, who said I want to invite him? I want to..."
Pei Huan hesitated to speak.
He thought of Yan Cen's indifferent attitude towards him, and felt an indescribable sense of frustration, "Forget it, it's nothing."
--
Bo Yueming watched the elevator screen go up to the eighteenth floor, and looked at his friend, "I thought you would agree to come down just now?"
Yan Cen raised his eyebrows, "Me?"
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no outsiders, Bo Yueming whispered with a hint of teasing, "When you were in front of me, you talked about this junior more than once."
Yan Cen's eyes changed slightly, and he replied calmly, "It was just before."
Even if he recognized Pei Huan's professional ability, it didn't mean that he fully agreed with Pei Huan's private conduct.
Yan Cen's perception of Pei Huan is no longer the capable junior in his impression. Some people and some impressions can only stay at the beginning, but if you get to know him deeply, it may change.
Pei Yi silently listened to the brief conversation between the two, thoughtfully—
According to the emotional development of the original book, the protagonist Gong Shou should have a deep affection for each other at this juncture, but if he understands correctly, the current Yan Cen has no interest in Pei Huan at all?
Yan Cen met Pei Yi's gaze, "Mr. Pei Xiao, why are you looking at me like that?"
Pei Yi came back to her senses and asked tentatively, "I was just thinking, is there any friend you know celebrating his birthday today?"
Yan Cen was startled, "What?"
Bo Yueming glanced at Pei Yi, and instead added, "Just now you heard Pei Huan's birthday in the elevator, and you used the question 'You also celebrate your birthday'."
Doesn't the word 'also' represent the birthday of someone else you know?
Yan Cen raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is the brain circuit of your husband and wife growing together?"
Pei Yi was shocked by the sudden "husband and wife", and then heard Yan Cen say, "I remember Xiao Li's birthday is always today."
Bo Yueming thought of such a number one person, "Li Yu'an?"
Yan Cen reported the reserved mobile phone number to the waiter, and said as he walked, "Well, some time ago, because of investment work, we added each other's WeChat. I remember his WeChat ID is followed by the number 1116. It should be his birthday?"
Pei Yi sensed something special, and couldn't help exchanging a glance with Bo Yueming—
It’s not surprising to have a friend because of work, and it’s not surprising to know the birthday by chance, but it’s not the same to calculate the birthday carefully through the numbers on the WeChat account, right?
Yan Cen caught the eye contact between the two, and suddenly felt a little depressed that he came alone, "You two restrain yourself a bit, you really met an acquaintance, I may not be able to cover it in time."
After confirming Yan Cen's reservation information, the waiter at the front desk said, "President Yan, hello to the other gentlemen, please follow me."
The seventeenth floor of Haodu occupies a large area, but the restaurant only retains all the window seats, and there are stairs on both sides of the corridor to go directly to the banquet hall upstairs.
Before the waiter brought the three of them to the designated table, the sharp-eyed Pei Yi was the first to spot the acquaintance.
Sure enough, those who should come will still come.
Pei Yi spotted the target, pretended to be a little excited and trotted over, "Yeah!"
A simple tone word immediately attracted Li Yu'an to look up.
It was still the familiar little tucker and wolf tail, but it was dyed in a cool brown tone. Instead of the formal attire that I had seen before, I put on a clean beige sweater, which made my temperament even colder.
The four eyes are facing each other.
A trace of surprise flashed across Li Yu'an's pale eyes, "Master Pei, why are you here?"
Pei Yi is used to teasing and teasing with her friends online, but when she heard this polite and unfamiliar greeting, she almost couldn't restrain herself and wanted to laugh out loud.
Fortunately, Bo Yueming and Yan Cen, who had reacted, followed up in time, and the latter took the initiative to greet, "Mr. Li, long time no see."
Li Yu'an rubbed his fingertips in a panic for no reason, and stood up slowly, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Bo."
Pei Yi took his friend's reaction into his eyes, turned his gaze, and saw the middle-aged woman sitting opposite Li Yu'an.
As described in the original book—
On Li Yu'an's birthday, only his mother, An Yang, was accompanied by him. The other party wore light makeup and curled up her hair. She looked gentle and virtuous, but deep exhaustion was hidden under her cold eyes.
At the same time, Yan Cen asked politely, "This is Mrs. Li?"
Anyang smiled slightly, and expressed his attitude in an unhurried manner, "Mr. Yan, I didn't expect Xiao An to have a birthday here today and meet friends."
"Mom, Boss Yan and the others are investors in my work."
Li Yu'an introduced to Anyang, his eyes dodged unnaturally, how could they be friends? The gap is too big.
Pei Yi approached Li Yu'an and tried to invite, "Together?"
If the plot in the original book was destined to happen today, he didn't want Li Yu'an to face what happened next alone.
"No."
Li Yu'an glanced at Anyang who was opposite, and tried to suppress the worries in his heart, "Let's just eat something and leave, so there will be no trouble."
Bo Yueming didn't know Pei Yi's little plan, "Pei Yi, don't disturb her."
The two parties just met suddenly, and it would be embarrassing to join the table temporarily under unfamiliar circumstances.
Yan Cen also understood this truth, and he met Li Yu'an's eyes again, "Then we won't bother you, Mr. Li, happy birthday."
Li Yu'an paused, "Thank you, thank you."
…
in a minute.
Pei Yi sat at the reserved table, and couldn't help but look back—
Li Yu'an lowered his head and was ordering food, while An Yang on the opposite side just watched quietly, without the joy and excitement that "my child's birthday" should have.
How could Bo Yueming fail to see Pei Yi's concern for Li Yu'an? Deliberately asked, "Yan Cen, how much do you know about the Li family?"
"I remember that the Li family has been focusing on the game industry? I heard that it was one of the best companies in the domestic game industry back then."
Yan Cen thought for a while, and only said a general idea, "The former executive director, Li Xiao, passed away three or four years ago. I don't know the specific reason."
Pei Yi took a sip of water, but said nothing.
There is also a distinction between industry and industry.
It is normal for Yan Cen and Bo Yueming of the younger generation to be unclear, but it has been explained in detail in the original book—
Li Xiao, the former executive director, was Li Yu'an's nominal father.
In Li Yu'an's sophomore year, Li Xiao was diagnosed with acute leukemia suddenly when the company's projects failed one after another, and he was still a highly dangerous patient.
The situation was urgent, and all people related to Li Xiao were identified as a match for bone marrow transplantation, naturally including his only son, Li Yu'an.
You know, one of the bone marrow transplant matching tests is about paternity testing.
At that time, Li Yu'an was busy with his university studies, and it was his mother, Anyang, who really learned the result of the appraisal in the first place.
Therefore, Anyang not only learned the news of "matching failure" from the doctor, but even got a bolt from the blue——
Li Xiao and Li Yu'an ruled out biological genetic father-son relationship! In other words, Li Yu'an was not Li Xiao's biological son.
Anyang was stunned when he got the news, he took it for granted that the hospital made a mistake.
In order to avoid complications and suspicion, she secretly checked two more paternity test reports without telling her son who was still in school and her husband who was seriously ill.
The results are obvious.
The son who has been raised for more than 20 years is not his own? What about his biological son? Where?
Anyang didn't even have time to digest this fact. On the other side, Li Xiao, who couldn't wait for the bone marrow match, passed away because of a high-risk condition and the rescue failed.
The series of blows made An Yang seriously collapsed, but she still insisted on secretly entrusting her relationship to thoroughly investigate everything—
Back then, there were not many rich people who chose to go to private maternity hospitals in the Imperial Capital, and even fewer people who could give birth on the same day.
At the end of the investigation, there was one and only the Pei family who lived in the imperial capital.
An Yangshun tried his best to confirm that Pei Huan was his own son, and unexpectedly discovered that the two children were destined to attend the same university and the same major.
The only difference is that Pei Huan is still a pampered young man from a rich family, while Li Yu'an, who lives in Li's family, has to face the predicament of family failure and company bankruptcy.
The husband died, the son was not his own, and the biological son wanted to recognize him but dared not.
Anyang suffered from schizophrenia for a time, and her state was up and down, but what can be confirmed is that she concealed all this without authorization——
For nearly four years, Pei Huan and Li Yu'an, who had changed their backgrounds, went to different destinies.
Until this birthday at the age of twenty-five.
With apologies, Li Yuan informed Anyang of the bankruptcy of "Dawn Game". Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly lost control of his emotions and was so stimulated that he began to curse and go crazy, and even broke into the birthday party upstairs by mistake.
After a series of farce, Anyang, who was completely out of control, revealed the truth about the life experiences of the two children in public.
…
Pei Yi recalled the plot of the original work that she knew so well, but she was still a little unsure—
Because of his accidental transmigration, early entry, and Li Yu'an becoming a game partner, the Liming game that the other party took over was not directly bankrupt, but started again under the name of YWY studio with a new look.
That being the case, the point that would drive Anyang crazy doesn't hold true?
But the "important characters" in the original book have already arrived, so why does it always feel like it will still happen?
While thinking, Bo Yueming suddenly handed the peeled shrimp to his mouth, and whispered, "Little cat, what's going on with you today?"
Pei Yi instinctively bit the shrimp and took the bait, her thoughts were slow, "Huh?"
Bo Yueming was helpless and pampered, "I didn't concentrate on eating. From the beginning, you have been eating whatever I feed you."
Yan Cen, who was on the opposite side, was full of dog food and couldn't help complaining, "It's a good thing we didn't meet any acquaintances from the Bo family today, otherwise we would have asked you for this way of feeding, and we would show up every minute."
"..."
Pei Yi realized it later and blushed suddenly.
He quickly pretended to drink two sips of water, coughed, "Sorry, I'm a little lost in thinking about things."
Bo Yueming knew that he couldn't get the answer out of his mouth, so he had to scoop up half a bowl of warm soup for him, "Eat more, save your brain."
Pei Yi nodded, and glanced sideways consciously—
Li Yu'an was the only one left on the dining table diagonally behind, while An Yang, who was opposite him, was nowhere to be seen.
Pei Yi was startled, and blurted out, "Why is there only one Liyuan over there?"
Liyuan?
Hearing this address, Bo Yueming frowned uncertainly.
Yan Cen was the first to react and gave an answer, "President Xiao Li greeted a waitress and took Mrs. Li to the bathroom. He has been sitting alone for almost ten minutes."
Hearing his friend's answer, Bo Yueming tasted it, "It seems that Pei Yi is not the only one, and your thoughts are not on the food at our table?"
Yan Cen took a sip of warm water and did not deny it.
Suddenly, a waitress hurried back from the corridor, "Mr. Li, it's not good!"
Pei Yi and the others heard the urgency that they forgot to suppress, and they all averted their eyes by coincidence.
Li Yu'an, who was sitting obliquely behind, realized something was wrong, and stood up suddenly, "What's wrong?"
The waitress didn't even have time to get dizzy, so she just picked the main point and said first, "Ms. An suddenly ran upstairs to the birthday banquet hall, and I couldn't stop her at all. Now she is having trouble with the guests in the banquet hall!"
