Bright Throne

As the sun goes down, bright neon lights light up one after another on both sides of the noisy streets, decorating a series of gorgeous ribbons on the luxurious city, announcing the coming of nightlife.

Chi Xiao.

This VIP room is one of the private rooms with the best environment in the whole club, and it is specially reserved for Pei Hanrui by Zhang Keming.

When Zhang Er came over after discussing business, he saw the man who was always elegant and graceful sitting upright. The hand of the goblet rested on the folded thighs, and the fingertips unconsciously brushed past the edge of the glass. The transparent glass vaguely reflected his serious side face, without any superfluous expression.

"Hey, why do you have time to come to drink with me today?" Zhang Er happily sat opposite him, and poured himself a glass without any hesitation. It was brewed with selected Caber Franc. The mellow and sweet taste has always been Pei Hanrui's favorite. He rarely drinks baijiu, and the wine cellar at home is basically full of various wines.

"Just sit around casually, why, aren't you welcome?" Pei Hanrui opened a slit of his eyes, raised his glass and looked away at him.

"Where are you talking?" Zhang Er laughed, "Usually I can't invite you, but I have a lot of troubles recently, so it's good to relax as much as you can-if drinking and watching performances are not enough, why don't I find some understanding people? Is the girl here to accompany you? Huh?"

When he said this, Zhang Er winked at him and gave him a smirk, but Pei Hanrui was rarely ungrateful, and shook his head lightly: "No need. It's better to stay alone."

"Ah, did I hear you right?" Zhang Er opened his mouth exaggeratedly, pressed the wine glass back on the coffee table, and couldn't help leaning forward and staring at Pei Hanrui's face, as if he was about to stare at a flower. After a while, A look of disbelief and shock appeared on his face, "Could it be, those recent gossip reports—are you serious about that kid?"

Before the other party could answer, he shook his head self-consciously, as if he was amused by himself: "You must be joking with me."

Pei Hanrui still kept his eyes closed, neither affirming nor denying, but silently took another sip of the wine. The cold liquid rolled into his throat, but it rolled over hot, and finally the sour feeling remained on the taste buds.

Zhang Er curled his lips a little bored, feeling uncomfortable after drinking, and the other party didn't seem to want to talk too much. He noticed the empty ashtray on the coffee table with his wandering eyes, and yelled strangely as if he had discovered a new world: "Ouch Fuck, it’s unscientific for a person to stay here for so long without smoking a single one! Don’t you think you quit smoking?”

Pei Hanrui finally raised his eyelids and glanced at him, frowned slightly, and after a while, he heard his deep voice: "How is it possible..."

Zhang Er squinted his eyes and looked at him thoughtfully, but he didn't know which question he was answering.

Coming out of Chixiao, the sky has completely dimmed.

When Fang returned to Pei's house, Pei Hanrui hadn't had time to take off his coat, but the housekeeper had hurried over and whispered to him: "Assistant Jiao has been waiting for you for a long time."

Jiao Pingshi...

For his visit, Pei Hanrui was not too surprised, he just nodded slightly, told the butler to greet him well, went to take a shower and changed into comfortable home clothes, and then walked slowly to the living room.

A middle-aged man sat on the sofa in the living room, his hair was combed back neatly, and his cuffs and tie were also meticulously arranged.The man turned around when he heard the voice, smiled when he saw Pei Hanrui, and nodded slightly.

"Long time no see, Young Master Pei."

"Ah, it's been a long time, Assistant Jiao." Pei Hanrui slowly sat down opposite the man, with a relaxed and casual attitude, poured two glasses of wine and handed them over.

"Thank you, just the tea." Jiao Pingshi politely took the wine glass and put it aside.

Even the basic greetings were omitted, Pei Hanrui turned the rim of the cup in his hand, and said straight to the point: "Father asked you to come back, right? How is the investigation going? How are you going to deal with us, huh?"

Hearing the cold tone in these words, Jiao Pingshi frowned, and said: "Young Master Pei, Dong Pei absolutely has no intention of dealing with you, he is just worried that you will be deceived and dragged down by villains."

Pei Hanrui stopped holding the cup and put it heavily on the coffee table, his face darkened in displeasure: "Pay attention to your words, Assistant Jiao, besides, the one who was deceived by the villain should be the father himself. Add fuel to this matter Those who stabbed him in the face may not have any good intentions."

"Young Master Pei, I'm here this time mainly to persuade you not to get angry with Dong Pei. How can there be a father in the world who doesn't care about his son? What's more, at your age, it's time to calm down Time. Start a family and start a business. Now that the business has been established, it is time to start a family. I have seen the daughter of the McCauley family. She is gentle and generous, and she is worthy of—"

"Okay." Pei Hanrui frowned, and interrupted him impatiently, "If you came to be a lobbyist for my father, it can be avoided. When I was young, my father never cared about me. Now I am a big Now, he doesn't care, it's getting late, I still have things to do, if Assistant Jiao has nothing else to do, please come back."

Jiao Pingshi sighed, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Then, let's talk about the model surnamed Qin."

Pei Hanrui had already got up and wanted to leave, but he stopped when he heard this sentence, stared at him with dull eyes, and sat back slowly: "What do you want?"

Such a reaction made Jiao Pingshi even more worried. He shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It's not what I want. According to Pei Dong's temperament, if you cross his bottom line, Pei Dong will do everything he can to block that guy." child."

"..."

Pei Hanrui was about to speak, but the phone rang suddenly at this moment. He frowned and wanted to press it, but the moment he saw the caller ID clearly, he picked it up, "...Hello?"

"Pei Hanrui." Qin Yiyue's pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone, and he didn't know what he did just now, his breathing was heavier than usual, as if he was doing something exhausting.

"What's the matter?" Pei Hanrui glanced at Jiao Pingshi from the corner of his eye, seeing that the other person was looking at him thoughtfully, he couldn't help turning his face slightly, and subconsciously blocked the phone.

"...Can't you make it through tonight?" Qin Yi seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, with a relaxed and slightly raised tone.

Pei Hanrui paused for a moment, and had to say: "No, I have something to do tonight."

After a while, Qin Yicai let out an oh, and could hear a little disappointment.

Pei Hanrui pursed his lips, feeling even more annoyed at the timing of Jiao Pingshi's visit. He was just about to say a few more words, but Qin Yi suddenly said: "Today I cleaned up all the messy things at home and threw them away."

The topic changed a little quickly, and Pei Hanrui froze for a moment, not catching up with the other party's jumping thinking.

"The living room has also been cleaned up. From the entrance to the bedroom, I made sure there are no instant noodle boxes and socks..."

"...Huh?" Pei Hanrui was still at a loss.

After chattering, Qin Yi paused for a moment before continuing: "Well...it's so troublesome to run back and forth on the road every time I go to your house, well, in fact, although my house is a bit small, it's still okay to live with one more person. It fits...ah, I mean wait a while."

"..." Pei Hanrui's puzzled expression instantly froze on his face.

Qin Yi's voice sounded as if he was calmly narrating an ordinary matter, but the speed of his speech was a little faster than usual, and people who were not particularly familiar with him would not be able to hear the difference.

Although he didn't say it clearly, this obvious hint made Pei Hanrui's heart melt for a moment, as if he had drunk the most mellow wine, and an indescribable warmth rose from the depths of his heart , and the sweet and slightly intoxicating smell, people can't help being intoxicated in it, making their hearts sour and swollen.

The words of promise had almost come to his lips. However, Pei Hanrui finally remembered who was sitting opposite him, what kind of situation the two of them were in now, and that there was a cold and hard man far away in France. The old guy blocked the road.

He was silent for a long time, and the fingers holding the phone unconsciously tightened. After all, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said two words in a dry and low voice: "Sorry..."

After saying these two words, Pei Hanrui didn't know what to say for a while, but frowned, and the hand holding the mobile phone was stiff, and he couldn't hear the voice from the other end for a long time.

For a long time, until Pei Hanrui seemed to feel his heart being tightly packed, he heard Qin Yiruo say nonchalantly: "Oh. I'll hang up if I'm fine."

When he said this, his voice was even calmer than before, but for some reason, Pei Hanrui suddenly saw the disappointed expression of the other party from the sluggish tone.

Immediately afterwards, a busy tone came from the phone, and the undulating flat sound hit the eardrums one after another. Pei Hanrui felt empty for a moment, always feeling as if something very important had slipped from his fingertips.

But he can't find it...

After receiving the call, Jiao Pingshi still sat there and looked at him deeply, not saying a word about the call.

Pei Hanrui suddenly burst into anger, he narrowed his eyes slowly, his eyes became sharp like a knife in an instant, and said word by word, "I said, I hate being threatened the most."

Jiao Pingshi thought for a while, his voice slowed down, and said: "Pei Dong is also for your own good, why not bear with it this time, take a step back, we all have a bright future, go back to Paris to meet Miss Macaulay, and Pei Dong will naturally have a way to let you go. Now the rumors flying all over the sky are self-defeating, and it’s not that you are going back to get married now, everyone can live with face, and that young model will not be slandered again because of this, it’s good for everyone, isn’t it? Besides, you didn’t Because of some little lover, you will have such a stiff fight with Dong Pei, oh..."

"Oh." Pei Hanrui smiled suddenly, full of sarcasm and coldness, leaned back on the back of the chair, crossed his legs, and looked at him casually, "Assistant Jiao, you should go back to Paris to persuade father , are quite old, why don't you give birth to more obedient sons with his beautiful wife and concubine while you are still able, ah. As for me, I won't bother him."

"Young Master Pei..." Jiao Pingshi still wanted to say something, but was blocked by Pei Hanrui's eyes. He Shi Shiran got up, left a message to see off the guests, and left the living room.

Jiao Pingshi looked at his leaving back silently, sighed lightly, hesitated for a while, finally dialed a number, and said to the other end: "I can't persuade Mr. Pei, it's still according to the previous explanation Let’s do something, send our people to watch them 24 hours a day, the media we directly or indirectly control, and the other media that we have negotiated with, can start to act.”

The night is dark.

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yi silently stared at the phone screen for a while, then threw it aside.At this moment, he is climbing up a triangular ladder in the bathroom, holding a brush, vigorously brushing some dirt accumulated on the ceiling over the years, the tiles, toilet, and bathtub below have long been clean and new.

His arms were a little sore, Qin Yi stopped his movements, looked down at the dirty brush in his hand, and suddenly felt that he looked like an idiot after frantically rushing home from work all day!

——Some words, he will never say the second time.

The author has something to say: Qin: Fuck you! [stare downstairs

Pei: Fuck you! [stare downstairs

5: Do... Hey, what about downstairs?
