Chapter 342 There won’t be a third time
Pei Jingchuan looked at Jiang Yuzhu with calm eyes. Jiang Yuzhu nodded in agreement and said understandingly: "Okay."
Back home, Jiang Yuzhu put on a set of simple yet elegant clothes under Pei Jingchuan's careful care. Night had fallen, and under the lights of thousands of houses, they drove to the restaurant that Chen Ting had reserved.
The restaurant is located in the center of the city, brightly lit, and the starry lights reflect on the glass windows like pearls dotted on black velvet.
When you step into the restaurant, the warm yellow lighting creates a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, and the gentle melody floating next to the piano makes people feel peaceful.
Chen Ting had already arrived, and she chose a seat by the window, overlooking the night view of the city.
When she saw the two people coming in, she immediately waved: "You are here, come here quickly."
Chen Ting went straight to the point without being polite. Her voice was a little joking but more serious: "Mr. Pei, this accident to Yu Zhu cannot happen again. You have to take good care of her."
Pei Jingchuan just nodded slightly, his eyes firm and profound: "I will."
Jiang Yuzhu watched their exchange with an imperceptible smile on her lips. She knew that behind Chen Ting's frankness, there was deep concern for her.
She answered softly: "Listen, thank you. We won't talk about that today."
As the dinner progressed, the conversation between the three gradually relaxed.
Chen Ting occasionally made jokes, and Jiang Yuzhu responded calmly, sometimes throwing out precise insights, which caused Chen Ting's hearty laughter to ring out in the restaurant.
Although Pei Jingchuan didn't speak much, his careful behavior and frequent gaze revealed his deep love for Jiang Yuzhu.
Chen Ting raised the wine glass and toasted the two of them: "Tonight, let's drink to Yu Zhu's safe return."
Jiang Yuzhu's eyes flashed with deep thought in the amber liquid reflected in the cup, and then she raised her head, with gentleness in her calm and rational eyes: "Cheers."
Pei Jingchuan also softly echoed: "Cheers."
After dinner, the night was as dark as ink, and the car lights drew trails of light on the way home.
Pei Jingchuan drove the car through silence after silence and returned home.
Opening the door, the warm light reveals the warmth of home.
In the living room, Mrs. Pei was sitting on the sofa, with a slightly displeased look on her face. She had obviously been waiting for a long time.
"I'm back." Although Mrs. Pei's voice was a bit reproachful, her tone was gentle, like a cooked warm plum.
Jiang Yuzhu stepped forward lightly and said in a calm and respectful tone: "Grandma, I'm sorry for making you worry."
Pei Jingchuan also walked into the house. Although he was speechless, his eyes were full of apology.
Mrs. Pei sighed softly, her eyes full of concern: "Jingchuan, something like that happened to Yuzhu this time. As a man, you must take responsibility."
Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly and softly responded to Mrs. Pei's concerns, but before he could speak, Jiang Yuzhu's voice sounded gently.
"Grandma," Jiang Yuzhu said, her voice calm and rational.
"This accident is indeed worrying, but it has nothing to do with Jingchuan. He has done a good job. It was me who was not careful enough."
Jiang Yuzhu's words were like spring breeze turning into rain, softening the worried lines on Mrs. Pei's face.
Pei Jingchuan was silent for a moment. He took a deep breath and looked directly at Mrs. Pei.
"Grandma, this has happened twice, and I'm very sorry. I assure you that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure the safety of Yuzhu. This situation will never happen a third time."
In his tone, you can hear his determination and self-blame, as well as his serious commitment as a man of the Pei family.
His eyes revealed his inner plans, which were plans for the future in order to prevent any risk factors from intruding on the people he cherished.
Mrs. Pei looked at Pei Jingchuan, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
Under the moonlight, Pei Yanqing had just sent Meng Ling home. The sweetness between the young lovers made him obviously in a good mood.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Mrs. Pei's voice blaming Pei Jingchuan.
"Grandma, brother he——"
Pei Yanqing's voice was full of eagerness to defend his brother. He walked into the living room, and the dim light illuminated his simple and sincere face.
Mrs. Pei turned around, with a look of displeasure on her face, but mixed with a hint of doting.
"Yan Qing, what do you know? Don't speak for your brother."
Pei Yanqing refused to give up and still insisted: "Grandma, brother, he has always been very cautious. This accident is really not his fault. He has already blamed himself."
Mrs. Pei took a deep breath, her heart gradually softened, and her voice softened a lot: "Yan Qing, you kid, you are always so straightforward."
A hint of cunning flashed in Pei Yanqing's eyes. He knew that his grandma loved him, so he took the opportunity to win tolerance for his brother: "Grandma, I am also worried about my sister-in-law's safety. Don't you think he also guarantees it?"
Mrs. Pei looked at Pei Jingchuan. Some of her complicated emotions had turned into tolerance. She nodded slowly: "Okay, I won't say it again this time. Jingchuan, you have to remember your promise."
Pei Jingchuan looked at Mrs. Pei firmly and said softly, "I won't forget it, grandma."
Mrs. Pei turned around and her eyes fell softly on Jiang Yuzhu. Her voice was full of parental concern: "Yuzhu, just have a good rest at home these days. Don't be in a hurry to go to work."
There was a calmness and calmness between Jiang Yuzhu's eyebrows. She nodded gently, her voice calm and firm: "Grandma, I understand. I will pay attention to rest."
The air in the living room seems to still have the fragrance of earth after the rain. It is the smell of this home, reassuring and warm.
The next morning's sunlight had just penetrated the glass curtain wall, and Pei Jingchuan walked into the company, his footsteps echoing in the spacious and modern hall.
He was wearing a dark suit with exquisite tailoring and smooth lines, showing his usual rigor and aloofness.
Assistant Qin was already waiting outside the office door. When he saw Pei Jingchuan, he said respectfully: "Mr. Pei"
Pei Jingchuan's eyes didn't stay on Assistant Qin for more than a second, and he went straight to the topic: "Those who contact the police station, I want Pei Shangde to get the lesson he deserves."
Assistant Qin nodded slightly and said without any unnecessary questions: "I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."
Pei Jingchuan walked into his office. The city outside the window was already busy.
"In addition," Pei Jingchuan's voice came from the office, calm and powerful, "Keep Jiang Yuzhu safe, I don't want her to be frightened in any way."
Assistant Qin responded immediately: "Yes, I will confirm the security measures again."
