Chapter 53 Worshiping Father-in-law
The man's voice was gentle and had a soothing effect.
Jiang Yuzhu nodded in his sleep, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
Seeing this, Pei Jingchuan quickly took out a piece of toilet paper and carefully wiped away the woman's tears.
He grew up with the love of his family, so he didn't know what Jiang Yuzhu's life was like when he lost his parents and was dependent on others.
Pei Jingchuan was sitting on the edge of the bed and fell asleep. Suddenly, the woman next to him suddenly shouted, "Dad! Don't leave me, Daddy!"
"Yuzhu, I'm here, I'm here." Pei Jingchuan, who was sleeping lightly, woke up almost instantly. He quickly wiped the sweat off the woman's forehead with toilet paper and said in a gentle voice, "Yuzhu, don't be afraid. I am here."
Jiang Yuzhu suddenly woke up, his eyes widened, and what he saw was the man's handsome face, which made people and gods angry.
She swallowed, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, "Why are you here?"
Pei Jingchuan said truthfully, "You fell asleep on the balcony. I was worried that you would catch a cold, so I carried you into the bedroom. Then you held my hand and refused to let me go."
He explained clearly that he was also worried that Jiang Yuzhu would misunderstand him. After all, the two of them had an agreement to be engaged, and he would inevitably think too much when he appeared in her bedroom inexplicably.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu pursed his lips, with a hint of apology in his eyes, "Sorry, Jingchuan."
Then, she raised her eyes to look at the bright moonlight outside the window, "My father passed away when I was a child. Tomorrow is my father's death anniversary, so..."
That's why I have nightmares.
"I will accompany you to worship tomorrow." The man raised his hand and touched the back of Jiang Yuzhu's head.
Jiang Yuzhu did not hide away. She raised her eyes and met the man's dark eyes without saying a word.
But the eyes said everything.
Pei Jingchuan explained, "After all, we are married, and I should also go see my father-in-law. Besides, you don't want your father to see you happy?"
"Okay." Pei Jingchuan was right. Jiang Yuzhu didn't say anything more and nodded indifferently.
"It's only three o'clock in the morning. There's still some time before dawn. You can sleep a little longer and I'll be here with you." The man said softly, worried that Jiang Yuzhu would have another nightmare.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu felt a little sorry. She pursed her lips and said, "You don't have to stay with me here. You can go back to your room and go to sleep."
"No need." Although it was just two words, the man's tone was irresistible.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't say anything else.
I slept very deeply. When I woke up again, it was already dawn. The remaining light of the rising sun shone through the window, and a beam of light just hit the bed.
There was no man around anymore.
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed his eyes, then went to the bathroom to wash up in his pajamas.
The man was busy with official duties on the sofa in the living room. When he heard the noise here, he said, "Breakfast is already prepared. Come over and eat after you wash up."
"Okay." Jiang Yuzhu responded softly.
After Jiang Yuzhu washed up, he changed into a black suit. This man looked much more serious.
The two of them sat at the dining table and ate quietly, without anyone speaking.
After the meal, the two went to the flower shop to buy a bouquet of carnations and went to the cemetery.
Pei Jingchuan drove himself and soon arrived at the cemetery. The man accompanied Jiang Yuzhu in there.
After bowing three times in front of Father Jiang, he looked at the woman with wet eyes next to him and said, "I'll wait for you in the car first."
He knew that Jiang Yuzhu needed to be alone at this moment.
"Yes." Jiang Yuzhu responded gently.
After Pei Jingchuan left, Jiang Yuzhu sat on the edge of the cemetery, talking to Jiang's father about what happened this year, just like every year before.
"Dad, I'm married. The person I'm getting married to is very nice and considerate to me. Don't worry, I'm happy too. How have you been lately? I miss you so much, Dad..."
……
Pei Jingchuan did not get in the car. Instead, he leaned in front of the car and lit a cigarette in his hand, but did not smoke it.
Seeing the woman coming, he quickly threw the unburned cigarette in his hand into the trash can, and then thoughtfully opened the passenger door for her.
Jiang Yuzhu looked down and said with a cry in his voice, "Thank you."
Pei Jingchuan said nothing, closed the door and got into the passenger seat.
After returning from the cemetery, Jiang Yuzhu was in a bad mood.
She sat on the balcony in a daze holding a pillow.
Pei Jingchuan didn't bother her, he just kept sitting on the sofa and observing Jiang Yuzhu's movements.
When it was dinner time, Jiang Yuzhu went to the living room and took a few bites.
Time passed quickly, and a month slipped by in the blink of an eye.
As soon as Jiang Yuzhu finished the operation, he received a call from his aunt.
"Yuzhu, are you free tonight?" Auntie's tone was filled with joy.
There is no surgery today and she will get off work as usual. Jiang Yuzhu responded while washing her hands, "I have time, what's the matter, aunt."
Jiang Xianmei smiled and said, "I got paid today. Xiao Pei helped me find this job. I have always wanted to treat you to dinner. Come to my aunt's house for dinner tonight. Maybe you haven't been here for a long time since you got married." .”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Jingchuan later."
What her aunt was returning was a favor from Pei Jingchuan, and she was not qualified to refuse it for him. Besides, this was also her aunt's wish.
After chatting with his aunt for a few more words, Jiang Yuzhu hung up the phone.
Then, she called Pei Jingchuan again.
It shouldn't be busy on the other side, and the call will be connected soon.
"Auntie said that she wanted to thank you for finding her a job and asked us to go to his house for dinner tonight. Do you have time tonight?" Jiang Yuzhu got straight to the point without any foreshadowing.
Hearing this, Pei Jingchuan raised his eyebrows and waved Qin Chenkai, who was standing in the president's office, to leave. Then he said, "If I have time, I will buy some gifts after get off work later."
"No, my aunt just wanted to thank you." Jiang Yuzhu said quickly because he was worried that Pei Jingchuan would spend money.
Besides, my aunt doesn’t like this either.
"How can that be done? This is my first time going to my aunt's house, so I still have to be polite." Pei Jingchuan's voice became more serious.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu said nothing.
Come to think of it, Pei Jingchuan's conversational style and elegance definitely did not come from an ordinary family.
I heard that raising children in wealthy families will teach them to be polite and polite, and this is etched in their bones.
"Shall I pick you up after get off work?" Jiang Yuzhu changed the subject.
"No, I'll rush home, and then we go to the supermarket near home to buy gifts." The man answered quickly.
"Okay." After Jiang Yuzhu said that, he hung up the phone.
After get off work in the evening, Pei Jingchuan had already changed his clothes and was standing in the underground garage waiting for Jiang Yuzhu.
"Let's go buy gifts." Pei Jingchuan said as soon as the woman got out of the car.
"Yeah." Jiang Yuzhu nodded.
Jiang Yuzhu picked some supplements that her aunt loved to take. She looked at the shopping cart slowly and said, "These are enough. If you buy too many, my aunt will feel bad."
My aunt has been used to being poor since she was a child, but now that her life is getting better, she has gradually become more generous. If she knew that Pei Jingchuan bought so many gifts, she would definitely feel bad for wasting their juniors' money.
