I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Pei Jingchuan raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Nian. Before he could say the words of rejection, the woman's voice rang out first.

"Gu Qiyang and Zhou Ling are also going, don't worry." Shen Nian made the first impression.

She knew that if only Pei Jingchuan was invited, he would definitely not agree to go.

Pei Jingchuan looked away and walked forward with his long legs, "My wife is urging me hard, I have to go home now."

His tone was cold, with a hint of chill in it.

Shen Nian stamped her feet behind her and shouted towards the man's back, "Pei Jingchuan, I know you are deliberately using marriage as an excuse to make me give up on you. Don't worry, I won't believe you." Said."

But Pei Jingchuan had already left the office and didn't hear what Shen Nian said at all.

Shen Nian went alone to the box that Lingda had booked long ago.

Gu Qiyang and Zhou Ling were already waiting in the box, waiting for Shen Nian and Pei Jingchuan to come over.

The box door opened, and both of them looked over. Seeing that there was no movement behind Shen Nian, they both knew what was going on, but did not ask further questions.

"The dishes have been served, hurry up and eat." Gu Qiyang warmed up the place.

Shen Nian grew up with them. Although she is a girl, she can still get along with them.

"Okay." Shen Nian nodded expressionlessly, then picked up the vegetables and mechanically fed them into his mouth.

Gu Qiyang couldn't stand it anymore. He sighed and persuaded Shen Nian like an elder brother, "Shen Nian, we grew up together. Your feelings for Jingchuan are obvious to all, but you also know that Jingchuan has been treating you since he was a child. You treat her like a sister, and he has no feelings for you as a man or woman."

"We are all adults, and we know the consequences of certain things we say and do. If you continue to pester Lao Pei, maybe..."

Gu Qiyang didn't say the rest of the words, but he knew that Shen Nian knew what it meant.

Shen Nian was already irritable. She didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so she changed the topic directly, "Eat."

……

Shen Nian drank a lot. The Gu family villa and the Shen family villa were close to each other. Gu Qiyang took the initiative to send Shen Nian back, while Zhou Ling drove home alone.

As soon as Zhou Ling entered the house, he saw Zhou's mother sitting on the sofa, radiant and smiling.

He hummed a little tune and came to sit down next to Zhou's mother. Then he crossed his legs and raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, "Mom, what are you so happy about?"

Mother Zhou never showed her joy.

If you smile so happily today, you must have encountered something happy.

Mother Zhou turned to look at Zhou Ling and put her hands on the back of his hands. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, but they were happy tears. Her tone was a little excited, "Ling'er, we have news about your aunt."

"After so many years, it's no wonder that we have been searching so hard, and now we finally have some clues." Mother Zhou curled her lips and smiled sincerely.

"Really!?" Zhou Ling's tone, which had always been calm, could not help but become a little more serious. He widened his eyes and happily held his mother's hand, "Auntie really has news? Where is she now? I will pick her up in person. return."

When he was not born, his aunt disappeared, but no one knew where she went.

Father Zhou and his aunt grew up together since childhood and have a very good relationship. Moreover, the Zhou family did not have the status it has now more than 20 years ago. It was a small family. The reason why they can become so big and even in Lincheng The ranking was all due to my aunt's efforts, but during another business trip, my aunt suddenly disappeared. Father Zhou sent people to search for her for many years with no results.

At that time, technology was not as developed as it is now, and there was no surveillance in many places, so there was no news about my aunt.

They even thought that their aunt was no longer alive, but no matter what, they wanted to see her dead body.

In the past few years, the Zhou family has spent all their energy searching for news about their aunt.

But the results are always unsatisfactory.

Now there is finally a glimmer of hope.

However, as soon as Zhou Ling finished speaking, the smile on Zhou's mother's face disappeared, and Zhou Ling also noticed something was wrong.

"Mom, what's wrong?" He pursed his lips subconsciously and clenched his hands a little tighter.

Mother Zhou lowered her eyes and sighed, "Your father has only found a clue, but the specific location has not been determined yet."

Therefore, they are still not sure whether their aunt is alive or dead.

Zhou Ling's face suddenly darkened, and he pursed his lips, not knowing what his father should do.

"Where's Dad?" Zhou Ling asked softly.

"He's upstairs. He was as happy as a child when he got the news. After learning that there was no exact location, he went to the study. I knew he was in a bad mood and didn't want to disturb him." Mother Zhou sighed, and then She patted Zhou Ling's back gently.

"Your dad didn't eat tonight. I asked the kitchen to prepare some porridge. You serve it and let your dad finish it. You can have a nice chat with him. I'm worried that he won't be able to bear it."

When Zhou's mother and Zhou's father got married, Zhou Sangfeng was still managing the company's affairs at home.

Zhou's mother also had dealings with Zhou Sangfeng, and Zhou Sangfeng always treated her as his own sister and would think of her in everything.

After Zhou Sangfeng disappeared, Zhou's mother was also sad for a long time.

"Okay." Zhou Ling nodded, then stood up, took the meat porridge from the servant's hand and went upstairs.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

It was almost ten o'clock when Pei Jingchuan came home. He knew that Jiang Yuzhu would come back early tonight and was worried that she had already fallen asleep, so he opened the door softly.

The lights in the living room were still on, as were the lights on the balcony.

Pei Jingchuan raised his eyebrows, could it be that he was still awake so late?

After putting on his shoes at the entrance, Pei Jingchuan walked to the balcony.

It was summer, and the breeze mixed with the smell of sea water blew by. Pei Jingchuan subconsciously looked at the woman on the lounge chair.

The faint moonlight fell on the woman, making her look even more beautiful. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow, her nose was high, and her little cherry mouth was slightly open.

Pei Jingchuan's eyebrows softened a bit. He carefully placed the cat in the woman's arms on another chair, then leaned down to pick the woman up and walked to the bedroom.

After covering Jiang Yuzhu with the quilt, Pei Jingchuan sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the woman.

After an unknown amount of time, Pei Jingchuan stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as he stood up, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by delicate fingertips. He stopped and turned to look at the woman.

"Dad, don't go...don't leave me." The woman in her sleep seemed to be sleeping uneasily and kept mumbling.

Pei Jingchuan frowned slightly, looking at the small beads of sweat on the woman's forehead, he felt a little heartbroken.

Although he had not investigated Jiang Yuzhu's background, from his observations of her since their marriage, he knew that Jiang Yuzhu had no father or mother and was raised by her aunt since she was a child.

He didn't leave. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed and held the woman's hand back. "I'm here. You sleep well."
