Chapter 156 Too Petty

Having come downstairs, it was still early. Looking at the shops along the street, I chose a breakfast place with Hangzhou characteristics.

Halfway through my meal, Pei Shi Yu called again, her tone sounding very bad: "Your mom is here."

I was stunned for a moment and quickly swallowed the food in my mouth, asking, "Did she go to your company?"

"Yes, come over immediately."

"Don't treat my mom like that..." I said, feeling a little embarrassed.

"This attitude is only directed at you."

Hearing Pei Shi Yu's answer, I breathed a sigh of relief, because even though I couldn't stand my mom, it was just a conflict between the two of us. If Pei Shi Yu treated her like that, it would be disrespectful. Regardless of any prejudice, I just wanted Pei Shi Yu not to use an impatient tone.

"Okay, let's get one thing straight. You can treat me however you want, but you can't use the same tone with my mom. I'm eating breakfast, I'll be there as soon as I'm done."

I thought Pei Shi Yu would hang up before me, but she immediately said, "Who said we shouldn't let our parents interfere in our affairs? Whose idea was it for your mom to come today?"

"Not mine!" I immediately denied.

"Then it was mine?" Pei Shi Yu quickly retorted.

"Your dad told Lao Wang yesterday. Lao Wang wanted my mom to come and mediate, it's that simple."

Pei Shi Yu didn't answer, nor did she hang up the phone. Then I jokingly said, "If you don't want to see her, just kick her out, or wait for me to come over."

"Come over quickly, and we'll kick her out together."

This time Pei Shi Yu hung up quickly. I immediately finished my breakfast and walked to the car as quickly as possible. Before starting the car, I called my mom. Even though I felt a little uncomfortable last night, today I spoke to her in a concerned tone: "Did you go to Pei Shi Yu?"

"Yes, I was just there, but now she seems to have avoided me."

"Come back, I'll talk to her."

"Can you convince her?" My mom's tone was clearly skeptical.

"Regardless of whether I can convince her or not, come back first. I'm afraid she won't give you a good look."

"No, she was quite polite to me just now, she just suddenly walked away..."

I immediately interrupted: "Pei Shi Yu just called me, otherwise how would I know you were in her office."

"What did she say to you?"

"Want to hear the truth?" I asked jokingly, probing.

"Shi Yu is coming in." My mom suddenly lowered her voice.

"I'm coming over right away, you come back."

I hung up the phone and immediately drove towards Pei Shi Yu's company. Sometimes dealing with relationships is like what Pei Shi Yu said, it's better to face it yourself. Besides, now she can already talk to me. My mom suddenly going to see her will only make Pei Shi Yu feel unsure how to face it, and there will always be a kind of estrangement between them.

When I arrived there, I stood outside and poked my head in. My mom's figure was no longer in Pei Shi Yu's office. Then I knocked on the door frame. Pei Shi Yu said without even raising her head, "Come in."

I walked directly to her side before she looked up at me. As soon as she saw it was me, she immediately asked, "Your mom left, why are you still here?"

"She left and no one told me," I replied with a smile.

"Then leave now with flowers in hand."

"Don't! I was originally planning to come over today, but I didn't expect my mom to be one step ahead of me."

"Speak your mind, then leave quickly, I'm busy."

I immediately looked at Pei Shi Yu's desk, only to find that it was piled high with files. I asked curiously, "Is business very busy lately?"

"Otherwise what? Did you think our company would stop running after you left?" Pei Shi Yu stared at my face and questioned.

"I know my place, you don't have to satirize me."

"Well, it's good that you know. I'm most afraid of arrogant people."

Today Pei Shi Yu didn't seem to want to let me off the hook, speaking in a very sharp tone. On the other hand, it could also be seen that she now had a strong dissatisfaction with me.

I looked at her for a while, then walked to the sofa and sat down, saying in a preemptive tone, "Pei Shi Yu, you're sometimes too petty."

"You said that yesterday."

"Are you planning to change?"

Perhaps it was my hippie-like appearance that made Pei Shi Yu suddenly angry: "Leave quickly if you have nothing to do."

"I have something to do."

At this moment, my phone suddenly rang. It was my mom calling. I immediately answered and asked, "Why didn't you tell me when you left?"

"Did you go to Shi Yu?"

"Yes, I just arrived."

"Talk to her nicely, don't make her angry."

"I came today with a repentant heart."

I deliberately raised my voice. My mom on the other end of the phone laughed, and then immediately ended the call.

"Repentance is useless, you don't need to say it to me," Pei Shi Yu said before I could.

"Pei Shi Yu, let's talk properly, let's resolve things today," I said a little too eagerly.

She suddenly sat up straight and looked at me very seriously, saying, "Lin Che, I'm not kidding with you, I don't plan to start our relationship again for the time being. My dad is my dad, don't confuse the two. Some things aren't a matter of forgiving or not..."

I interrupted: "I know it's a matter of principle. Look at me again, standing in front of you is a handsome and compelling man. If you miss it, you'll lose the opportunity. It's easy for me to find a woman, but if you give birth to the child, you'll have fewer choices."

"Well, let's leave the opportunity to others. Can you leave?"

"You're so unromantic."

"I know."

"You're impervious to reason, it's really hard to continue talking."

"I'm about to go out, I know what you want to talk about, let's put it aside for now, I'm very busy lately."

"I don't have time, if I really leave, can I still wander around in front of you like today?"

Pei Shi Yu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Which country are you going to?"

"I'd really like to follow in your footsteps."

"New York?!"

"Hopefully, but it's also possible to go to Germany, You Xiang is there."

"You're about to leave and you haven't decided yet?"

"Wang Rui is handling it, we'll know in the next few days."

"New York won't like a loser like you," Pei Shi Yu ridiculed.

"What's wrong with me? I'm a model youth," I deliberately smiled, putting on a very cheap look.

Taking advantage of Pei Shi Yu's silence, I asked her, "Will you miss me?"

"What is there about you that's worth missing?" Pei Shi Yu asked back.

"There are many shining points, you have to explore them carefully."

"Don't ask for a scolding."

"Pei Shi Yu, sometimes the relationship between people is just a kind of fate, like us, we can't separate even if we want to. It's like a bond that ties us together. Besides, even if you want to separate, the child won't agree. Let's just make do with being together. I won't say anything that will move you, I don't have that level, I just want a clear answer."

At this moment, the office intercom rang. I saw Pei Shi Yu quickly pick it up...
