Chapter 149 She compromised
There was a knock on the door.
Xu Jiayun pulled herself out of her thoughts.
"Please come in."
The door opened and Chi Yu walked in with a tray of food.
"Miss Xu, we've all finished eating, you should eat something too."
Xu Jiayun really had no appetite, but since Chi Yu was so thoughtful, she forced herself to eat a little.
Chi Yu looked at her, who seemed to be eating without any appetite and was absent-minded. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "What did Zhou Jing say to you?"
Xu Jiayun paused while drinking the soup.
She put down the spoon and looked up at Chi Yu: "Zhou Jing said Pei Sangyu is dying."
Chi Yu was stunned.
Xu Jiayun looked at Chi Yu's reaction and laughed, seeming helpless and mocking: "You think it's ridiculous too, right?"
Chi Yu frowned, feeling a little sad after being shocked.
Pei Sangyu was her benefactor no matter what. Even if he couldn't have a happy ending with Xu Jiayun in the end, he shouldn't have ended up dying young!
After a long silence, Chi Yu said with difficulty: "Zhou Jing would not lie about such a thing."
"Really?" Xu Jiayun said in a low voice. Looking at the food on the plate, he no longer had any appetite.
Chi Yu observed Xu Jiayun's expression, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Jiayun pulled the corner of his mouth, looked at Chi Yu, and asked, "What do you think I should do?"
Chi Yu pursed his lips tightly.
She wanted to persuade her to give up the plan, but she couldn't bring herself to say the words.
"Plan, slow down a bit."
Xu Jiayun stood up and turned to look out the window.
There is still half a month left until New Year's Eve, and there has been a lot of snow in Yuecheng recently.
Today is a rare good weather.
She said, "It's not for Pei Sangyu, it's for Nian Nian."
Chi Yu looked at her back.
The faint light from outside the field shone through the glass window, and Xu Jiayun's back was wrapped in the light, slim and cold.
……
That night, Xu Jiayun couldn't sleep all night.
Many images flashed through my mind, about past lives and present lives.
In the end, she realized belatedly that there were so few pictures of family warmth between her and Pei Sangyu that brought to Nian Nian.
In his previous life, he didn't even dare to call his father "Dad". Until his death, he was still questioning whether he was not well-behaved and sensible enough, so his father didn't like him.
In this life, although she has tried her best to protect Nian Nian and create a beautiful and happy childhood for him, he is still a child after all, and the absence of the role of father still affects Nian Nian.
Xu Jiayun actually understood that Nian Nian really wanted to get in touch with Pei Sangyu. He knew that Pei Sangyu was his father, but he had been suppressing his inner desire for his father for the sake of his mother.
In fact, from the moment they met again in Sunset Town, Xu Jiayun vaguely anticipated that she and Pei Sangyu would never be able to truly become strangers.
Because there is a year between them.
She just refused to accept her fate and was unwilling to bow to this unfair and tragic fate, so she forced herself to ignore her child's desire and need for a father.
But Pei Sangyu doesn't have much time left now. If she continues to hold on to those grudges and refuses to let go, Nian Nian will be the one who will bear the regrets in the end.
She is a mother and she has the responsibility and obligation to give her children the best.
Then she should convince herself that even for Nian Nian, she should try her best to cooperate with Pei Sangyu to create a harmonious family relationship.
As the day dawned, Xu Jiayun stared at her son's adorable sleeping face, and the hatred that had plagued her for two lifetimes gradually dissipated.
...
The next morning, Xu Jiayun went to work as usual.
I received the appointment letter as soon as I arrived at my workstation.
Pei Sangyu personally issued an order to promote Xu Jiayun to the position of chief secretary to the president, with a position and power equivalent to Zhou Jing.
In fact, no one was surprised by this decision.
Pei Sangyu made an exception to open the position of chief secretary to the president for Xu Jiayun, and his workstation was set up directly in the president's office.
This is a way of treating the company as her own, and it really makes everyone in the company have the most intuitive understanding of Xu Jiayun, the president's wife.
The company's employees have created an anonymous group with more than 500 members. Usually, everyone wears a vest and enjoys themselves in the group, just to relieve the mental stress of being a social animal.
This group has been flooded with messages all morning.
[This should be the kind of forced love described in novels by overbearing CEOs, right?]
[All workstations were directly arranged in the president's office! ]
[It doesn't matter whether the President's wife attends this class or not. What matters is that the President sees his wife every day!]
[Honestly, our CEO has a rich love history, but in comparison, Shen Zhiyan and Jiang Yi are really weak. The current CEO's wife is so majestic!]
[A mother's status is determined by her son! Have you forgotten the CEO's heir announcement a while ago? It's said that the current CEO's wife absconded with the baby, only to return six years later, when their son was already six years old. Upon her return, she secured the position of first wife. I doubt this young master had any influence on this!]
[But didn't Jiang Yi also give birth to a child? Where's that child? Something seems to have happened to the Pei family recently. I heard that Madam Pei was imprisoned, and the child Jiang Yi gave birth to disappeared without a trace!]
[The wealthy are indeed very deep-seated! ]
[It seems our CEO's wife is no ordinary person! Everyone, please be more careful when you see me next time!]
[A woman who can make President Pei willingly fall in love is truly terrifying!]
[First there was Shen Zhiyan, then there was Jiang Yi, after all the twists and turns, in the end it was still Xu Jiayun! Hahaha, you guys think about it carefully! ]
[The President's wife is quite capable. I really want to see what President Pei looks like when he's being manipulated!]
[Actually, the president's wife is quite nice. You don't know the inside story, so don't make up stories.]
[Hmm? This suspected insider?]
I'm just advising you not to make up stories. It's fine to chat about light-hearted topics for entertainment, but avoid fabricating anything that negatively impacts the relationship between the boss and his wife. Otherwise, you'll be responsible for the consequences.
【! ! 】
【…】
The group instantly fell into a strange silence.
Soon, someone changed the topic and started chatting about everything, but no one dared to talk about the boss and the boss's wife anymore.
……
Zhou Jing put away his phone, raised his hand to push up his glasses, and walked out of the assistant's office with the documents.
Bai Manshu was helping Xu Jiayun clean up her workstation.
Zhou Jing came over and handed the documents to Xu Jiayun: "Young Madam, these documents are urgent. Please take them in to President Pei first. Sister Man and I will handle these."
Hearing this, Xu Jiayun took the document, didn't ask any questions, and walked towards the president's office with the document in his arms.
After Xu Jiayun entered the office, Zhou Jing said to Bai Manshu, "Come in with me. I have something to tell you."
Bai Manshu nodded and followed Zhou Jing into the office.
The door closed, and Zhou Jing pointed to the sofa beside him: "Sister Man, please sit down."
The atmosphere was clearly a bit too formal.
Bai Manshu was nervous inside, but she remained calm on the surface and walked to the sofa and sat down.
Zhou Jing poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Bai Manshu took it, acting a little reserved. "Thank you, Assistant Zhou."
Zhou Jing sat down on the sofa on the other side, looked at Bai Manshu, and smiled gently, "Sister Man, don't be nervous. It was actually Mr. Pei who asked me to see you today."
