He said that he would feel uncomfortable if a woman approached him. Just now, his body was very stiff. But before this, wasn't Pei Yan perfectly fine with her What conflict was there?
Pei Yan and Xia Ling went downstairs one after the other.
Downstairs, Father Pei, mother Pei, and Pei Xun were all there.
Yesterday's incident happened suddenly. When Xia Ling came back, she had not seen Father Pei. This was the first time she had seen him.
Father Pei's looks were still very pleasing to the eye. Although he was middle-aged and fat, his facial features were still normal.
It could be seen that Pei Yan was more like Pei Yan's mother. This family was also managed by Pei Yan's mother.
"Duoduo, please take a seat. "
Xia Ling was arranged to take a seat by Pei Yan's mother.
"thank you, mother. " Xia Ling sat at Pei Yan's lower seat.
There were five people at a dining table.
Pei Yan's father sat at the upper seat while Pei Yan's mother and Pei Xun sat together. On this side were Pei Yan and Xia Ling.
They looked like a family of five, but Pei Yan had never spoken once when he sat down. The atmosphere was very awkward.
"Duoduo, we were in a hurry yesterday and didn't have the time to give you anything. Take this card and use it. It's a small token of appreciation from your father and me. ". "Xiao Xun is so old, but Pei Yan only brought you home. Pei Yan has never been so unreliable. Don't be sad for the past six years. I'll make it up to you in the future. "
Mother Pei comforted Xia Ling and pushed a red packet in front of everyone.
The Red Packet definitely contained a bank card.
With the Pei family's wealth, the money in this card would definitely not be small.
However, Mother Pei comforted Xia Ling, but Xia Ling looked at Pei Yan.
"Mother, I appreciate your and father's kindness, but I really can't take this red packet. Pei Yan already gave me a card before. I don't have a job now, and I've already bought clothes. I don't need to do anything else. You can take the red packet back first. "
Xia Ling never dared to claim credit for this kind of thing.
Xia Ling had a conscience. She only contributed an egg. Pei Xun grew up so big and so cute. This was all thanks to the Pei family.
She didn't have the right to receive so much consolation from the Pei family.
All this consolation belonged to Pei Yan.
"You child, aren't you treating me like a stranger? If I tell you to take it, you should take it well! " Xia Ling's mother grumbled and stuffed the red packet into Xia Ling's hand.
Xia Ling looked at Pei Yan again before accepting the red packet.
"thank you, mother. "
Regardless of whether Xia Ling accepted the red packet or not, Pei Yan looked at it expressionlessly.
He ate quietly as if he could not hear or see.
Pei Yan looked like he was sitting beside Xia Ling, but it was as if he was deliberately alienating Xia Ling and keeping a distance from Xia Ling.
Xia Ling had many ways to break his estrangement.
It was just that when it came to relationships, it was always more deliberate.
*
Pei Yan finished his meal and did not ask Xia Ling. He said that he was going to work and got up from the dining table.
The housekeeper sent Pei Xun to kindergarten.
Only Xia Ling, Father Pei, and mother Pei were left at the dining table.
Xia Ling was very tactful. She sped up and finished her breakfast.
"Father, mother, take your time to eat. I have an appointment with my friend to visit her house today. I'll be leaving first. "
Mother Pei said, "okay. Be careful on the road. It's not far. Do you want me to send a chauffeur for you? "
Xia Ling said, "it's okay. I've already arranged it myself. There's no need for the chauffeur at home to trouble you. The friend will pick me up on the other side immediately. "
She rejected mother Pei's kindness.
Xia Ling took her handbag and gracefully left the Pei family home.
*
Xia Ling lied. She didn't have an appointment today.
However, Pei Yan and Pei Xun weren't around. She would only be an eyesore if she stayed at the Pei family home.
She comfortably returned to her small villa.
Xia Ling gave Qi Wei a call.
