Luo Peiyao brought a cup of green tea to the coffee table and put it down gently.
Chen Dingbang did not pick her up, but looked at Luo Peiyao blankly for a long time before saying, "You haven't changed at all."
"I'm old." Luo Peiyao said.
Chen Dingbang shook his head: "No, you are not old. You will never grow old in my heart. You will always be the most beautiful in the world."
There was no expression on Luo Peiyao's face, and her eyes were as calm as a frozen lake in winter.
"Drink tea, the tea is getting cold," she said.
Chen Dingbang seemed a little disappointed. He lowered his head, picked up the teacup on the table, and rubbed it gently with both hands, as if he wanted to use the temperature of the teacup to raise his inner temperature so that he could muster the courage to say the next words.
"You have suffered all these years, and I am sorry for you. But you should understand that you are always the only one in my heart."
Luo Peiyao smiled self-deprecatingly: "Is it bitter? I don't feel bitter. I live a good life without you."
"Pei Yao!" Chen Dingbang knew that Luo Peiyao was speaking out of anger. The more he said this, the more uncomfortable he felt. "I know you are angry with me. Over the years, I have sacrificed too much for my career and the Chen family.
I want to thank you, and the entire Chen family should thank you. Peiyao, I will make it up to you. We are not old yet and we still have time, right?"
"You came here today just to say these sweet words, right? If that's the case, you can leave. I heard enough of these words more than 20 years ago, and I don't want to hear them anymore."
"No, Peiyao, listen to me." Chen Dingbang, who was usually very prosperous and could give lectures in universities and talk for two hours, was a little incoherent in front of Luo Peiyao, "Of course I didn't mean to say this, I
I still have something to discuss with you."
"Discuss?" Luo Peiyao sneered, "Is there anything you want to discuss with me? Haha! The head of the Chen family, who has always been arbitrary, actually said he wanted to discuss it with me?"
Chen Dingbang's face was a little embarrassed, but he quickly regained his composure and said: "Actually, it's not a discussion. I should have taken you back to the Chen family long ago."
Luo Peiyao shook her head: "No, I won't follow you. You didn't let me enter the Chen family before, and I won't let you in again in the future."
Chen Dingbang was stunned: "Why?"
"Why? Why do you think it is?" Luo Peiyao was a little angry, "Don't you know why you came today? Why bother to be pretentious and talk so much nonsense. If Mr. Li hadn't taken care of your precious son, you might not be able to live forever.
Will you step into the community where I live?"
Chen Dingbang couldn't deny that what Luo Peiyao said was true. He thought so in his heart until he walked into this community. If it wasn't to save Chen Zhihu, he wouldn't have come. It's not that he doesn't love Luo Peiyao, but that he has done
The decision will not be changed easily. He never thinks that he has done anything wrong in the past. Everything is for the family and career.
But today, when he walked into this community, the breath of life of the lower class people that he had not really felt for many years came to his face. He thought of the past days, and every bit of his time with Luo Peiyao came to mind. In his heart
Suddenly, I had a strong impulse to embrace Luo Peiyao and be together forever, even if I was no longer rich, I wanted to be an ordinary person from now on.
Of course, he knew that was impossible. As long as he lived one day, he must be the helmsman of the Chen family. Therefore, he decided to bring Luo Peiyao into the Chen family. No matter how the people in the family objected, no matter how much Pan Fengying made trouble,
Can't change his decision anymore.
This has nothing to do with whether to save Chen Zhihu or not.
"Pei Yao, you believe me, I am sincere. You are right. If it hadn't been for this, without such an opportunity, maybe I would never have the courage to face you. But now, I understand, no matter what,
I will never let you leave my side again."
Luo Peiyao sighed softly and said: "Forget it, Dingbang, we are all old, don't do such meaningless things anymore. I won't go with you. But don't worry, I will ask Li
Young Master, let your son go. Children should not become victims of adults' struggles."
"Pei Yao..." Chen Dingbang was about to say something else, but suddenly there was a noise from the kitchen, as if someone was inside.
Luo Peiyao found it strange that Chen Wenxu and Li Muchen clearly went out together. Could they be hiding inside and eavesdropping?
She stood up, opened the kitchen door, and saw a strange man holding a gun in his hand, with the black muzzle pointed at her.
Luo Peiyao quickly realized something.
In her heart, she is an ordinary person, her family has no money, and no gangster will ever be interested in her.
Apart from her, the only person in the room was Chen Dingbang. Obviously, the gangster's target was Chen Dingbang. And Chen Dingbang did not bring any bodyguards today, which was enough to attract enemies.
Facing the gun, Luo Peiyao did not retreat, but suddenly opened her hands, supported the kitchen door frame, blocked the gangster with her body, and then shouted into the living room:
"Dingbang! Run! Someone wants to kill you!"
Luo Peiyao didn't know that at this time, another gangster climbed in through the balcony window and entered the living room. Chen Dingbang also had the same pistol with a silencer in front of her on his forehead.
Chen Dingbang couldn't move.
Luo Peiyao's shouting and stretching her body brought disaster to her.
The gangster was frightened by her cry and subconsciously pulled the trigger. A quick and slight gunshot, even though a silencer was installed, still reached Chen Dingbang's ears in the living room.
"Pei Yao!" Chen Dingbang stood up abruptly and rushed towards the kitchen.
But before he could take a step, he was kicked in the waist, followed by another gunshot, and a bullet was shot into his leg.
Chen Dingbang staggered two steps and fell to the ground. His sight could just go around the corner of the sofa and see the kitchen door.
Luo Peiyao fell in a pool of blood, the bullet shot into her chest, and the blood dyed her clothes red.
"Pei Yao!" Chen Dingbang felt the heartbreaking pain, not from his legs, but from his heart.
The killer in the kitchen squatted down, probed Luo Peiyao's neck gently, and then nodded to the killer in the living room.
The killer in the living room raised his gun and pointed it at Chen Dingbang, but with a hint of hesitation on his face, he said to the other killer: "This man is the wrong age."
The killer walked out of the kitchen, glanced at Chen Dingbang on the ground, and said with some doubts in his eyes: "Never mind, let's kill him first and then confirm his identity."
The killer nodded and was about to shoot.
Suddenly a stream of light flew from the window and crashed into the window.
Before they could see what it was, they were knocked over by a strong force.
