The man's voice came again. "Rest well."
Liang Yan said nothing.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Liang Yan really couldn't think of anything to say to him. She only said, "Take care of your health too."
After saying that, she regretted it. These words sounded a little ambiguous.
The man chuckled. "You'll know if I'm healthy when we meet."
Liang Yan bit her lip. How could he say such shameful words so confidently?
"Don't go back on your word." The man's voice was low and dangerous. "You should know very well what I will do."
Liang Yan hung up the phone and collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted both physically and mentally. She closed her eyes, her mind filled with images of Pei Yu. Was that blurry figure in the restaurant that day really him?
'Did he reach out to her?'
Even now, she still did not give up. She still wanted to keep that ridiculous fantasy.
Pei Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office with a gloomy expression. His entire body was filled with anger that was about to spew out. Pei Yong pushed the door open and entered. He saw his second brother, who had always been cold, with his back facing him. It actually made him feel a little lonely.
"Second Brother." Pei Yu walked forward.
Pei Yu didn't say anything. He just stood there.
"Second Brother, do you treat that woman differently?" Pei Yong asked.
Pei Yu turned around and looked at him. His eyes regained their indifference. "What's different?"
Pei Yong smiled meaningfully. "Second Brother, you didn't even ask me which woman it was."
Pei Yu was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Pei Yong had rendered him speechless. He could not help but find it interesting.
Pei Yu did not give him a chance and asked, "Which woman?"
Pei Yong smiled slyly. "Of course it's that Miss Liang."
Pei Yu's lips curled into a smile. Pei Yong felt that the smile was a little bitter. "Brother, I saw you stuffing tissues into her chest yesterday. She was already squatting on the ground in pain, but you didn't even turn around."
Pei Yu's indifferent expression froze on his face as emotions flashed across his eyes.
Before Pei Yong could see clearly, he heard him ask again, "She squatted down?"
Pei Yong nodded. "Yeah, clutching her chest."
Pei Yong changed the topic and said, "But it's also possible that she's pretending to be weak. Fortunately, Second Brother, you didn't fall for it. This kind of woman is really a habitual offender. It's obvious that she's after money."
He continued speaking, not noticing his second brother's increasingly dark face. He was about to say something when Pei Yu interrupted him. "Get out."
"Second Brother."
Pei Yong was hurt by Pei Yu's cold words and shouted aggrievedly.
Pei Yu no longer looked at him. He walked to his desk and sat down to review the documents.
Pei Yong could only leave angrily. It was all that woman's fault. When she was mentioned, Second Brother became unpredictable.
After Pei Yong left, Pei Yu slowly raised his head from the documents. His dark eyes were filled with indistinguishable emotions. He frowned and thought about what illness she had that made her faint over and over again.
He opened WeChat and saw that she did not reply to the message he had sent her. He then opened her WeChat Moments. There was nothing. Even the background was dark.
After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and dialed a string of numbers.
After resting for two days, Liang Yan went to the company to settle the handover. This time, Zhou Ting had already returned. The two of them chatted for a while before Zhou Ting arranged for someone to settle the handover procedures for her.
The handover process went exceptionally smoothly. Minmin was still a little reluctant to part with her and said that she would definitely come out to eat and shop in the future. Liang Yan smiled and agreed lightly, but she did not have much time left.
A short distance from the office, a Lincoln pulled up beside her.
The car window rolled down and Pei Yu's cold and exquisite face appeared in front of Liang Yan.
Liang Yan's heart was beating wildly. She lowered her eyes and wanted to pretend that she did not see anything. She continued to walk forward, but Pei Yu got out of the car and blocked her way.
"Get in." His voice was cold.
Liang Yan looked up at him, her eyes filled with sadness. "Why should I get in the car?"
Pei Yu seemed to sneer as his indifferent eyes looked at the woman who was pretending to be calm.
Liang Yan turned around and left.
Pei Yu actually followed her in a good-natured manner. Liang Yan walked so fast that she almost ran.
However, Pei Yu's legs were too long. He caught up to her in a few steps. He reached out and grabbed her arm, lifting Liang Yan up effortlessly with one hand.
Liang Yan struggled on his shoulder. "Let go of me!"
Pei Yu did not seem to hear her. He opened the car door and threw her into the car without hesitation. He got into the car and said to the chauffeur, "Drive."
