MTL - After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration]-Chapter 45
Soon it was time for dinner.
As a full-time housekeeper, Uncle Kai has always been proficient in cooking, and he can cook a table full of meals even if he is busy alone.
On the long dining table, Pei Yi deliberately chose a place farthest from the main seat.
Uncle Kai brought the last soup, a little surprised, "Sir, why are you sitting in the corner?"
I usually sit next to the main seat when I eat.
"Um."
Pei Yi responded perfunctorily, pretending to be immersed in cooking.
Not long ago, he was so enthusiastic about being ridiculed by Bo Yueming's words, he fled the sofa in a hurry, and his mood has not completely calmed down yet.
I don't know what's going on, Pei Yi always feels that Bo Yueming is flirting with him intentionally or unintentionally, but after thinking about it, he feels that his facial expression is not right—
After all, when Bo Yueming spoke with such a face, eight out of ten sentences were enough to "kill" people!
Seeing that Pei Yi was sitting in the wrong seat, Lin Zhong and others didn't dare to sit indiscriminately. The driver Lao Zhang beckoned softly, "Mr. Xiao, why don't you sit over?"
"..."
Pei Yi pretended to be stupid and pretended not to hear, she buried her head in another sip of white rice.
Bo Yueming, who was sitting on the main seat, didn't tell the truth, "It's all right, everyone can sit down as you like."
The head of the family opened his mouth, and Uncle Kai and the others randomly found a place to sit down.
Qiao Dong, who had just arrived for the first time, did not dare to be too casual, and sat in a relatively rear seat, because it was far away from other dishes, so he only dared to take two bites of stir-fried seasonal vegetables and ate them with rice.
Pei Yi, who was sitting on the side, had no intention of eating, and soon noticed Qiao Dong's restrained expression.
He got up and picked up the serving chopsticks and the small bowl, seemingly randomly scooping up the dishes on the table, and then put them in front of Qiao Dong with a slap, and finally he didn't forget to put the untouched pork ribs that Uncle Kai had given him Soup also moved over.
"eat!"
A resounding sentence attracted the attention of everyone at the table.
Qiao Dong, who originally wanted to reduce his sense of existence, was taken aback. He imitated Uncle Kai, Lin Zhong and others, "Little, Mr. Xiao, no, no, you eat."
In just a few seconds, his entire face flushed red, and he couldn't see the "be strong" appearance that day in the underground parking lot.
Pei Yi was unmoved, "Eat, you're thin!"
"..."
It seemed that they were picking and picking randomly, but in fact, they paid attention to every dish, obviously because they were afraid that Qiao Dong would not be full if he restrained himself.
However, after staying together for such a long time, why didn't I see the kitten holding something for me who was "inconvenient with eyesight"?
Little heartless.
Bo Yueming endured the incongruous sourness, and gave Uncle Kai a look while everyone was not paying attention.
Uncle Kai understood, and said with a smile, "Qiao Dong, you don't need to be too restrained in this family, and your leg injury hasn't healed yet, so you should eat more."
Qiao Dong relaxed slightly, looked at Pei Yi, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Pei Yi saw that Qiao Dong was as old as himself now, and was thinking about how to ask, Lin Zhong smiled and said, "By the way, when I was handling the hospitalization for Qiao Dong, I found that he and Mr. were born in the same year."
"Same age? Twenty-three?" Uncle Kai was also surprised, "What month?"
Qiao Dong nodded, "December 16th, so I go to school later than ordinary people."
Uncle Kai smiled and said, "That's half a year later than Mr. Xiao. No wonder Mr. Xiao takes care of you so closely. He probably treats you like a little brother."
Pei Yi took a sip of water, proudly thinking to herself—
Without "estimating", that is.
Pei Yi was twenty-five years old in the real world, and after wearing a book, she automatically lost two years of age, making her the youngest everywhere she went, even Bo Wang and Bo Jiao were a year older than him.
Now that he managed to catch someone younger than him, he suddenly felt that his status had risen!
"That's good, now that there is another Qiao Dong in the family, and I get to know Mr. Xiao well, so I should be able to chat with him." Uncle Kai continued nagging, "Why don't Mr. Xiao stay at home alone and spend the whole day with him?" Hiroseki is watching cartoons in his room."
"..."
The last word out.
Pei Yi's complacent mood suddenly collapsed, he hesitated for two seconds, and then buried himself in his meal.
Bo Yueming smiled secretly, "Okay, let's eat."
Qiao Dong looked at the small bowl full of food in front of him, and his affection for Pei Yi unconsciously increased, so he let go of his restraint and began to eat.
Bo Yueming eats quietly, and the others don't talk much.
At the end of the dinner, Lin Zhong got up and answered a call from Song Yuanyuan, and walked back not long after, with a trace of uncertainty in his eyes, "Mr. Bo."
Bo Yueming could hear the unusual tone in his tone, "What's wrong?"
"Team leader Song called. Chen Shun's secretary contacted him ten minutes ago, saying that there is an exchange reception for enterprises in Wencheng on the weekend, and he wants to invite you to attend."
The reason given by the other party is very nice—
Although it is a foreign company, the current Bo Corporation has a branch in Wencheng after all, and is also a part of the company in Wencheng.
"Since Chen Shun can get someone to make threatening phone calls to Qiao Dong, maybe he is secretly monitoring his whereabouts." Lin Zhong said his analysis, and his brows were full of thoughts, "We just took Qiao Dong home, and then I received a temporary invitation from Chen Shun."
Lin Zhong hesitated to speak, and changed to a more suitable rhetoric, "I heard that as the head of the enterprise in Wencheng, the annual exchange meeting is organized by the Shuntian Group."
"..."
Bo Yueming and Pei Yi both sensed the strangeness, and their expressions changed slightly.
Qiao Dong, who had just loosened his heartstrings, suddenly became nervous again, "Boss, I, I live here, will I cause trouble for you? Or should I go?"
Bo Yueming asked in a low voice, "Where can you go in the current situation? Leave Wencheng because of threats?"
Qiao Dong was speechless.
If this is the case, where else can he seek justice for his brother?
Bo Yueming didn't like to beat around the bush when he spoke, "Chen Shun has managed the Shuntian Group. He has been powerful and powerful for so many years, and he doesn't care about a small person like you."
Pei Yi nodded imperceptibly—
Lin Zhong's analysis was correct, Chen Shun must have known where Qiao Dong was now, and he was afraid that Bo Yueming would help him.
If there is a disturbance at this juncture of the upcoming bidding, it will definitely affect the Shuntian Group's harvest of the "Wencheng Sports Center" project.
Therefore, for Bo Yueming, this exchange banquet was likely to be a "Hongmen Banquet" set up by Chen Shun with ulterior motives.
Bo Yueming secretly considered the pros and cons, and finally decided, "Let Song Yuanyuan tell Chen Shun's secretary that I will definitely arrive on time in two days."
Lin Zhong frowned, "Mr. Bo, are you sure you want to go?"
After all, Wencheng is not the imperial capital, no matter how powerful the Bo family is, it will not be able to extend it. Bo Yueming's wealth and background here are probably not enough.
What should I do if something goes wrong?
Bo Yueming understood Lin Zhong's implication, and the pride in his eyebrows and eyes remained the same, "What are you afraid of? Even in the Imperial Capital, how reliable can my family background be?"
Lin Zhong took a deep breath, "Okay, I will call and reply now."
Pei Yi looked at the backs of Lin Zhong who were gradually walking away, and immediately said, "Second brother!"
Bo Yueming understood tacitly, and immediately refused, "No."
"..."
Before he could think of a word, he was stopped by the other party.
Pei Yi stuck for a few seconds before humming, "I, I'm going out to play too!"
Bo Yueming resolutely rebuffed, "The reception is not a fun place, and the troubles you caused in the Imperial Capital before are not enough for you to teach you a lesson?"
"..."
Pei Yi was speechless, but completely dissatisfied.
Was it the troubles he caused in the past? It was clearly the one who was troublesome and didn't have eyes, and took the initiative to find him!
And every time a trouble comes to the end, which person with ulterior motives hasn't been taught back by him? If it weren't for "pretending to be stupid" to limit the use of his lips, he would be able to beat several of them by himself!
Of course, it is more convenient to "play stupid" and call back directly!
Pei Yi remembers his impulsive thoughts in deciding to come to Wencheng, isn't it because he is afraid that Bo Yueming, who is not easy to see, will be ridiculed, targeted, or even secretly bullied by other people?
It was obvious that there might be something wrong with this reception, so he naturally wanted to follow along to have a look.
When Pei realized this, he simply ran to Bo Yueming's side, "Second brother!"
Bo Yueming frowned, "I say no..."
"I want to accompany you."
"..."
Bo Yueming swallowed the words he hadn't said yet, knowing that the word was capitalized and bolded "to please and be good", and knowing that the kitten wanted to go to the wine party more out of curiosity and excitement, but he still couldn't refuse.
Bo Yueming swallowed the half-repeated refusal unobtrusively, and changed his words, "Follow me the whole time, don't run around, you have to..."
Pei Yi nodded hurriedly, and learned to answer quickly, "Super cute!"
Bo Yueming was stuck by his confident tone.
Uncle Kai and the driver Lao Zhang, who were sitting on the side, looked at each other and teased with a smile, "Our little gentleman is the smartest at this time!"
Qiao Dong also found it interesting, so he snickered, and soon he heard Bo Yueming say as if changing the subject, "Qiao Dong, you stay here first, don't think too much, I do things in my own way."
Pei Yi agreed, with a rare "hmm".
Qiao Dong temporarily suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and thanked, "I know, I know, thank you Mr. Bo and Mr. Xiao."
--
Soon it was Sunday.
Wencheng's annual corporate exchange meeting is organized by Shuntian Group, and the venue is set at Wencheng World Trade Center. In recent years, the first one is higher than the other one.
Those invited to participate are all enterprises in Wencheng and nearby cities. As for the exchanges, they are nothing more than those things in the business field.
Under the polite guidance of the waiter, Bo Yueming and Pei Yi entered the arena smoothly. Besides, they were followed by Lin Zhong and a hired bodyguard.
A group of people just entered the communication hall.
Chen Shun, who learned the news in advance, came over, "Mr. Bo, welcome, I haven't seen you for a while."
Bo Yueming narrowed his gaze before Chen Shun approached, and stretched out his hand as if listening to someone's voice, "Chairman Chen? Naturally, I want to come because of your invitation."
Chen Shun stretched out his hand and shook it back.
He took the opportunity to look at everyone around Bo Yueming, seemingly easy-going, "I didn't expect Mr. Pei Xiao to follow, and the inch-cut brother behind him, it's strange."
Bo Yue knew that there was something in his words, "Chairman Chen, my eyesight is not convenient, our family Pei Yi likes to follow me childishly, if more bodyguards follow, it will be more safe, please forgive me."
"..."
Familiar excuses came to his ears, causing Chen Shun's smile to froze.
He immediately thought of the "treat" remarks that he had made on the spur of the moment that night, and only later did he know exactly—
The other party unceremoniously spent nearly 300,000 on his account for that meal, and took more than a dozen bottles of good wine alone.
Chen Shun resisted the aggrieved feeling of loss out of thin air, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Bo, is it convenient for Fang to talk alone? There are seats in the dessert and drink area over there, Mr. Pei Xiao and the others should like it."
Bo Yueming wouldn't even give this little face, he signaled to Lin Zhong beside him, "Take Pei Yi to sit first, Sun Wei stay."
"yes!"
"Okay, Boss."
The bodyguards Sun Wei and Lin Zhong responded one after the other.
Pei Yi was not dissatisfied with Bo Yueming's arrangement, and obediently followed.
Chen Shun looked at Sun Wei, who was still on guard behind Bo Yueming, and stopped talking for a few seconds. He called the waiter to bring wine, "Mr. Bo, how do you think about my last proposal?"
"proposal?"
Bo Yueming shook his wine glass slightly, and seemed to think for a few seconds before he remembered, "I'm sorry, Chairman Chen, the bidding is a task assigned by the headquarters. Even if I want to start with a small project, the leaders above will not let me."
It means: they will not withdraw from this bidding.
Chen Shun thought of Bo Yueming's situation in Bo's, and he really didn't look like a person with the right to speak. Now there is less than half a month left before the bidding, it seems that he is destined to become a competitor.
Chen Shun understood and said, "Mr. Bo, I know your difficulties, but the two companies will inevitably encounter each other on this project. No matter what the result is, I'm afraid it will hurt the harmony in the end."
Bo Yueming took a sip of the champagne and responded freely, "Chairman Chen, fair bidding depends on strength, even if you lose, who would not be convinced?"
"..."
Seeing that Bo Yueming was invulnerable, Chen Shun had no choice but to wait for a few seconds, and cut to the chase, "Mr. Bo, bidding is a matter of fair competition, but Chen has another matter that he wants to discuss with you."
Bo Yueming knew it from the bottom of his heart, "Chairman Chen, you might as well speak up."
Chen Shun glanced at the bodyguard behind him, and approached without hesitation, "President Bo, listen to my advice, you don't care about that Qiao Dong."
He sent someone to investigate in private, and Qiao Dong never left Wencheng.
Because Zhao Hui's "death" was not handled well, Chen Shun didn't let the gangsters come to the door directly this time, but asked them to call and threaten first, but he didn't expect—
After Qiao Dong left the hospital, he was picked up by a black car. After investigation, the owner of the car was currently Bo Yueming's driver.
There was only less than a month left before the final bid, and Chen Shun was afraid that Bo Yueming would use Qiao Dong to fight back inappropriately. After all, such things as "human life" would indeed have adverse effects if they got too big.
Bo Yueming took half a step back, "Why can't I understand Chairman Chen's words?"
Chen Shun took the initiative to touch the wine glass lightly, and spoke with more weight, "I have led the Shuntian Group for nearly 30 years, and I have been tied to Wencheng for a long time. I haven't encountered any bedbugs in the gutter all these years. Pass?"
"Some filthy things are not good for me. I didn't expect to turn around and meet Mr. Bo." Chen Shun drank the champagne in a gulp, playing both soft and hard ways. Necessary, don't you think so?"
Bo Yueming raised his glass as a gesture, and replied in a moderate manner, "I've been taught."
Chen Shun saw his attitude, and there was a hint of anger between his brows. He wanted to say something more, but a man with oily hair and fat ears approached him, "Dad! I have something urgent to see you!"
He seemed afraid that outsiders would hear him, so he leaned closer to Chen Shun's ear and whispered.
"..."
In less than five seconds, Chen Shun's face changed suddenly.
He faced Bo Yueming's figure again, but deliberately pretended to be calm, "Mr. Bo, I have some personal matters to attend to, so excuse me."
Bo Yueming sensed something was wrong, but he was too lazy to play Tai Chi with Chen Shun here, "Chairman Chen can do as he pleases."
From a distance, Chen Shun and the fat man left quickly.
Pei Yi stopped eating pudding, pointed and asked Lin Zhong, "He, who?"
Lin Zhong also kept an eye on Bo Yueming's situation. After seeing the direction of Pei Yi's finger, he revealed in a low voice, "Well, it seems to be Chairman Chen's son-in-law, named Pan Chenggong."
He was afraid that the stupid Pei Yi would not understand, so he added concisely, "Mr. Xiao, he is a bad person!"
To manage such a large construction site project, but also to be greedy for money, the first reaction after the greedy death is not to think about the aftermath, but to perfunctory, keep silent, and threaten, it is simply scum!
It's true, this sentence is true.
When Lin Zhong thought of this, the nausea in his heart couldn't stop surging.
Pei Yi looked at Chen Shun and Pan Chenggong's panic when they left, and always felt that there was a reason for it. He got up and ran in the direction of the other party's departure with the little excuse of "going to the bathroom".
Seeing this, Lin Zhong hurriedly followed, "Little Mister! Wait for me!"
The banquet hall used for the exchange meeting was duplex and double-decker. Pei Yi carefully went upstairs along the circular staircase in the corridor. He remembered Bo Yueming's explanation and did not stop Lin Zhong from following.
Lin Zhong followed behind, calling Bo Yueming to report, looked up and saw that Pei Yi had gone in the wrong direction, and quickly stopped him, "Xiao Mister, the bathroom is not upstairs, you..."
"Hush!"
Pei Yi put her hand on her lips, and signaled in a low but exaggerated voice, "Bad guy!"
Lin Zhong couldn't keep up with Pei Yi's brain waves for a while, "What, what?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden rage from the room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, "You pig brain! Haven't you learned enough lessons yet! Why the **** do you dare to make trouble for me!"
Lin Zhong recognized Chen Shun's voice, and his eyes changed suddenly, "Sir, shhh! Don't move!"
Pei Yi nodded silently.
Because of the fate in the Linshui Pavilion, Pei Yi has the most basic judgment on the character Chen Shun——
The smiling old fox.
After Pan succeeded in approaching just now, Chen Shun's expression and hurried steps to leave clearly caused an accident!
Pei Yi knew that Bo Yueming's eyesight was impaired, so he would not be able to notice this subtle change, so he quickly replaced him and chased after him.
The reason why Lin Zhong acquiesced to follow was purely to reassure Bo Yueming, but the former was far better than Pei Yi imagined——
After following Bo Yueming's experience for a long time, Lin Zhong's instinctive reaction was faster than anything else.
The moment he heard the dispute, he fumbled out of his pocket the recording pen he used for work, approached quietly and put it in the nearest decorative potted plant.
After finishing all this, Lin Zhong walked back quickly and coaxed in a low voice, "Sir, shall we go first? There are many delicious things downstairs!"
There is only one corridor and stairs up and down the banquet hall here, even if you hide in the lounge next to it, there is a certain probability of being discovered, it is really easy to scare the snake.
Pei Yi understood Lin Zhong's inner concerns.
Now that there is a better solution, there is no need for him to risk himself.
The two quickly walked down the stairs.
Fortunately, all the guests gathered in the banquet hall on the first floor and were busy dealing with each other, so they really didn't have the time to pay attention to this small scene.
The two returned to the rest area along the edge of the banquet hall.
Before she could get close enough, Pei Yi subconsciously stopped her pace. Lin Zhong who was following diagonally behind her felt strange, so she took a closer look before realizing——
Bo Yueming was sitting on the sofa at the end of the rest area, and the bodyguards were standing upright behind him on guard. The most important thing was that there was a young woman with a **** body sitting next to Bo Yueming!
The other party was sitting slightly sideways, looking at Bo Yueming with a smile on his face, the suspenders on the skirt were barely showing, curly hair swayed over his fragrant shoulders, and the hand holding the wine glass was also extraordinarily slender and beautiful.
The temperament is very outstanding, **** but not kitsch.
The two of them didn't know what they were talking about at the moment, the woman seemed to be having a great time, and offered a cup to touch Bo Yueming.
Lin Zhong turned his eyes back to Pei Yi and asked in a low voice, "Sir, are we going there?"
Pei Yi watched Bo Yueming drink up the champagne in coordination, without a trace of disgust at all, and unconsciously squinted his eyes——
Sure enough, he is the villain comparable to the main male protagonist in the original book, attracting bees and attracting butterflies wherever he goes!
How attractive is being a "blind man"?
Pei Yi turned around and planned to leave, "No."
Lin Zhongsheng was afraid that Pei Yi would get lost and cause trouble, so he quickly coaxed him on behalf of his boss, "Xiao Mister, you don't want dessert? You still haven't eaten a lot just now."
"..."
yes.
That would have been his place.
Pei Yi regained her confidence, walked over quickly, and picked up a small cake in front of Bo Yueming and the woman.
Bo Yueming's eyes hidden under the lens noticed Pei Yi at the first moment. He was just about to introduce to both parties, but he heard the soft voice of the people beside him asking.
"Yue Ming, who is this?"
"..."
Yue Ming?
When did you meet?
Can you still shout so intimately?
Hearing this gentle voice, Pei Yi slightly tightened her fingertips holding the cake, and pretended to be stupid on impulse, and hummed, "Husband."
"..."
The woman sitting on the sofa was taken aback for a moment, and even Lin Zhong, who was used to getting along with each other, was also taken aback.
When Bo Yueming heard Pei Yi's long-lost address, a smile flashed across his eyes, "Sister Zhong Yi, let me introduce you, this is Pei Yi."
Lin Zhong at the side suddenly realized, "Zhong Yi? Is, is that the female special assistant who followed the old lady?"
Bo Yueming nodded slightly, as if explaining to Lin Zhong, and even Pei Yi, "Well, Sister Zhong Yi has been working with grandma for twelve years since she graduated."
Zhong Yi's ability to handle affairs is extremely strong, and there was a saying once spread: Bo Peizhi cultivated himself when he was young again.
Five years ago, 34-year-old Zhong Yi met her current husband. After weighing things up, she resigned from Bo's and went to Haishi to start a family and a business with her husband.
I didn't expect to run into each other again in Wencheng after going around. The other party was here with her husband on a business trip this time.
Zhong Yi has always been self-disciplined, nearly forty years old, with well-maintained skin and figure. Just relying on the back view and profile, it is easy to be regarded as a young girl.
"..."
Pei Yi was so embarrassed that she couldn't breathe when she met Zhong Yi's gentle gaze.
What was he doing just now?
Think Bo Yueming is hooked up by a young girl again?
But how to explain the sudden intimate address?
Even though Pei Yi wanted to hide his passion, his ears, which were so red that they were about to bleed, still betrayed him.
Bo Yueming saw his kitten's rare embarrassment and shyness, so he endured it so hard that he didn't reveal his secrets, "Sister Zhong Yi, Pei Yi's personality is relatively shy, please forgive me."
Zhong Yi looked back and teased, "It's rare to see you protecting someone like this."
Pei Yi felt that "playing stupid" for a long time had affected his basic judgment, his whole face was burning, completely ignoring his initial jealousy.
Fortunately, the phone rang, breaking the silence.
Zhong Yi found his cell phone from his small bag, and said with a smile, "My husband's phone number, I'm going to look for him too, excuse me."
"good."
Zhong Yi got up, stepped on high heels and left gracefully.
Bo Yueming glanced at Pei Yi who was "torturing" the little cake with his head down, and at the same time recalled the sourness implied in the "husband" just now, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help laughing.
"Pei Yi, what are you doing?"
"..."
Pei Yi shut herself up in embarrassment.
Don't call me, I'm still ashamed.
