Chapter 71 Does She Know That You Once Gave Up on Her?

Pei Yu learned that Shen Zhiyi had gone to see his father the next morning. Before Pei's father was sent to the nursing home, he took away all of his father's power and purged the Pei family from top to bottom, replacing all of their personnel. However, there were still former subordinates willing to work for Pei's father, and the person responsible for picking up Shen Zhiyi this time was one of them.

He first asked someone to check who else around Pei's father could be used. As a result, more than a dozen people were found, some of whom were Pei's father's subordinates, some were members of the board of directors, and some were small fry that Pei's family did not even look down upon.

When the list was handed to Qin Fang, he frowned. "There's also my aunt's work? She's been staying abroad. When did she get in touch with Uncle Pei?"

This gave him a headache. When Pei Yu started to seize power, he clearly stood on the other side of Pei's father. If there was no room for a reversal in the end, Pei's father would not have agreed to give up power. Everyone knew how much discord there was between this father and son in the Pei family. It would be foolish to help Pei's father at this time.

His aunt probably still can't let go of her ex-husband and has become so confused.

"Uncle Pei doesn't have any shares. Even if someone helps him, it's useless. I'll have someone clean it up."

Except for Pei Yu, all the children of the Pei family are either in prison or abroad, and some have long since passed away in the power struggle. It is impossible for Pei's father to make a comeback after this, and he knows it himself, but after being a superior for most of his life, he cannot bear to be left with nothing.

Qin Fang thought that this matter was no big deal except that it was a bit annoying, but when he saw Pei Yu's expression, he realized that things were not that simple.

Pei Yu said nothing, his face was extremely cold, and his whole body exuded a fierce aura that a storm was about to come.

He was shocked, "Did Uncle Pei do something?"

What could an old man with a broken leg do to make Pei Yu so angry?
Pei Yu said nothing, extinguished his cigarette, and said indifferently, as a reminder, "Let your aunt evacuate the people by herself."

This is to withdraw all the useful people around Pei's father.

After getting back in the car, Secretary Qin sat in the passenger seat and asked cautiously, "Going to a nursing home?"

Pei Yu has never visited Pei's father since he was sent to the nursing home, and the two have not seen each other for several years.

Pei Yu closed his eyes and rubbed an unlit cigarette between his fingertips, with tobacco crumbs falling off. His face was cold and expressionless, with no signs of emotion, but the movements of his hands revealed an unspeakable anxiety.

"Go to the set."

During the filming, Shen Zhiyi received a message from Secretary Qin and suddenly forgot all the lines he had just reviewed, causing a rare stuck.

She went to negotiate with Director Meng, using the excuse that she was not feeling well and wanted to rest for a while, as the set had to be removed soon. Director Meng agreed with a wave of his hand and started filming other people's scenes first.

There were three or four film crews at the film and television base at the moment, and the paparazzi who had snuck in were also there. Pei Yu's car was parked in the most conspicuous position in the parking area. As Shen Zhiyi walked along, she was always suspicious that a paparazzi would suddenly jump out.

When he got closer, he saw Pei Yu standing by the car window, with his head slightly lowered, his face uncovered.

She was confused, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"

There are so many people at the film and television base, so there is no reason for them to meet here, not to mention that they see each other almost every day recently.

Pei Yu raised his hand, "Come here."

As soon as he got close, he could smell a faint scent of tobacco. Shen Zhiyi raised his eyes to observe his expression.

He is not addicted to smoking, but he will smoke when he is in a bad mood.

She said softly, "What's wrong?"

Pei Yu didn't say anything. He held her by the back of her neck and pulled her into his arms, then held her quietly for a while.

Just as Shen Zhiyi was about to ask him if something happened, she heard his slightly dry voice, "What did he say to you?" She immediately realized that Pei Yu knew that she had met Pei's father.

I hesitated, not understanding why he reacted so strongly. "I didn't say anything. We just chatted for a while and then I left."

She didn't want to mention the part that she cared about the most, and she felt that it was unnecessary. She was not jealous, nor did she feel that she was being used as a substitute. She just suddenly realized that no matter what kind of feelings, they all have an end and will change. This was the case with Pei's father to his wives, and Huo Heng to her, and Pei Yu would be no exception.

The delusion of loving someone until old age is the most pitiful and unrealistic.

Shen Zhiyi had never thought about this before, so she stubbornly believed that Huo Heng was the most important person to her. She foolishly judged others by herself and felt that she was equally important to Huo Heng. She felt that he, like herself, could not let go of the more than ten years they had spent together. They were like family, not family members, but better than family members. However, Huo Heng had forgotten about it long ago. The feelings that she thought would be remembered for a lifetime had long since passed away with the wind.

Only now did she fully understand this truth, and finally realized that she didn't have to be heartbroken before giving up.

Pei Yu tightened his arm around her waist and said in a deep voice, "Don't meet him again."

Unable to tell whether he was angry or not, Shen Zhiyi didn't ask any more questions and hugged him back, "Okay."

She had no reason to meet Pei's father again.

Her obedience and gentleness relieved Pei Yu from the anxiety, and because of her consistent attitude, his uneasy heart calmed down a lot.

After parting with Shen Zhiyi, Pei Yu drove to the sanatorium alone. This was the place he chose for his father, and he thought he would not set foot here until his father died.

After not seeing his father for a few years, he found that he was no different from before, except that his body had aged.

Pei's father was not surprised at all to see him coming. He was the person who knew Pei Yu best in the world, and he had taught this son personally.

"Long time no see," Father Pei smiled slowly, "I thought I would have to wait until I died before I could see you again."

Everyone said he was heartless, but he felt that this son was better than himself.

The father and son have similar features but different temperaments. Father Pei is more gentle and gentle, while Pei Yu is more indifferent and sharp, revealing his edges without any concealment. He is more like Father Pei when he was young.

Pei Yu looked at him coldly. He knew that this man was not as harmless as he appeared. He was smiling like this when he shot his own son.

He is no longer a teenager, Pei Yu has a blank expression on his face and will not be led by him.

"If you want to live to see old age, don't try to anger me."

Looking at the youngest son he had raised, Father Pei smiled and said, "You mean Shen Zhiyi? I just want to know if she still remembers you."

He turned his wheelchair and looked at the scenery outside the window. His gentle voice was filled with undisguised sarcasm. "Pei Yu, does she know that you gave up on her?"

The teenage Pei Yu, because of his incompetence, was forced to submit to his father's decision. He failed to fulfill his promise and failed to take Shen Zhiyi out of her broken family.

This is a past event that Pei Yu is ashamed to mention.

It is Pei's father's proud work.

　This is why the male protagonist did not mention that he knew the female protagonist, because for some reason the female protagonist had long forgotten him...
