After asking this question, Zhou Dong saw the other party's smile.

Polite and distant.

My extremely excited mind suddenly calmed down as if it had been thrown into boiling water and poured into a large bucket of snow. He suddenly remembered the rumors back then. Some said that Hua Jin's parents favored sons over daughters and were not good to her; some said that something happened to Hua Jin's family and she was the only one left in the family; and some said that she did not take the college entrance examination because Her uncle's family found her a husband whose family was rich and let her get married.

If the beautiful girl in front of her is really Hua Jin, will his appearance be the key to awakening her painful memories? She finally climbed out of that life and had a new life. Why did he have to expose it in front of others.

At this moment, Zhou Dong felt like he was drowning, feeling so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe. He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." At that time, he was young and admired Ai, but when he found out that Hua Jin did not come to take the college entrance examination, he was worried in his heart and did not even go to find her. the meaning of. Later, after the college entrance examination, he still had various worries. It was not until he heard the girls in his class saying in the chat group that Hua Jin was getting married that he sighed and hid the secret love in his heart that was not a secret love.

When she was suffering, maybe he was taking the college entrance examination and was happy that he was admitted to a good university. He never thought of helping her or pulling her up. Now that they meet in a foreign land, she doesn't want to recall the past, so why should he bring it up again. Zhou Dong felt very sad, feeling sorry for Hua Jin and regretting his past cowardice and incompetence. His eyes were red and his voice was trembling as he said, "I'm sorry."

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the store, not even having the courage to look back.

"What's going on with this man?" Yang Shao glanced at Zhou Dong's running figure in embarrassment, "Flower embroidery master, do you know him?"

Hua Jin smiled and said nothing. She turned around and saw Pei Yan standing outside the window.

Did he come here with Yang Shao?

No wonder Yang Shao, with his careless character, would think of taking her to a party with an embroidery master. Did he also see what happened just now?

Hua Jin raised her head and smiled at Pei Yan. She thought that Pei Yan would turn around and leave this time, but she didn't expect that he would nod towards her.

"Can you come and pick me up tonight?" Hua Jin said, "I can't leave now, the store is too busy."

"No problem." Yang Shao nodded, "The embroidery master, please take your time, while Brother Pei and I will do other things first."

"Yes." Hua Jin smiled, turned around and walked back to the embroidery frame, pulled out a thread from the strands, threaded the needle and thread to continue embroidering the unfinished embroidery screen.

"I'll come to pick you up tonight." Pei Yan walked up to Hua Jin at some point and said, "By the way, tell me your clothing size."

"Are you going to prepare an evening dress for me?" Hua Jin looked up at Pei Yan and chuckled: "No need, there are suitable clothes in the store, I'm sure you can wear it on a big occasion."

"Yes." Pei Yan glanced at the unfinished double-sided panda embroidery on the embroidery stand. The details of the panda's body were clearly visible, and he could even see the luster on its hair. He couldn't help but take a second look.

Hua Jin is very serious when doing embroidery. Even if there are other people around her watching, it will not affect her state. On the other hand, Pei Yan didn't want to leave when he saw the beautiful embroidery. If Yang Shao hadn't winked beside him, he almost forgot that he had something to do later.

After leaving the gate of Fanhua Studio, Pei Yan got into the car and said to Yang Shao, who had been always rubbing against his car recently: "What's going on with you lately? You can't even drive your own car?"

"I am now a person with a salary and no pocket money." Yang Shao chuckled, "Isn't this because I want to save some gas money by following Brother Pei."

Pei Yan: "..."

"When you grow up, you finally know what it means to be stingy."

"I'm not that poor, but you also know my character. I don't like to see beauties suffer. A few days ago, I saw the embroidery artist eating instant noodles in such misery. I couldn't bear it, so I transferred a sum of money. Give it to her. In order to make me progress, my dad doesn’t give me more money now, he only pays me wages on time. Without you, Brother Pei, I almost can’t survive."

"Ha." Pei Yan sneered, "Since you dare to be a hero and save the beauty, why should you be afraid of poverty?"

"That's not what you say," Yang Shao said with a bitter face, "Who told Mr. Huaxiu to be so good-looking? His eyes are so moist and his skin is so white. Who would be willing to let such a girl endure hardship?"

Pei Yan glared at him and said nothing.

The car drove some distance away and while waiting for the traffic light, Pei Yan saw a man on the side of the road holding a lamppost and crying. If the road here wasn't so remote, there would definitely be a lot of people watching.

After driving through the traffic light intersection, Pei Yan found a U-turn area and drove back.

"Brother Pei, what are you doing?"

Back at the same place, before the crying man left, Pei Yan parked the car on the side of the road, opened the door and got out of the car. When he was about to approach the man, Pei Yan paused and suddenly didn't want to go any further.

Zhou Dong was crying secretly, not knowing that someone would notice him on such a cheap road. At this moment, he was wrapped in regret, regret, and heartache, and was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

It wasn't until the footsteps got closer and closer to him that he hurriedly wiped the tears on his face and prepared to walk in the opposite direction.

"Do you know Hua Jin?"

Hearing the name of Hua Jin mentioned by the visitor, Zhou Dong paused and turned around cautiously. He found that the person asking the question was a man. Not only did he have outstanding appearance, but his clothes were also valuable: "What are you talking about? I'm listening. I don’t understand.”

"I am her friend." Pei Yan paid attention to the expression on Zhou Dong's face. The panic and uneasiness on the other person's face were invisible to his sight.

"I recognized the wrong person." Zhou Dong guessed that his behavior in the store just now might have been seen by this person. He turned his head slightly to avoid Pei Yan's sight, "I don't know this friend of yours. ”

"Really?" Pei Yan leaned against the lighting pole, "Can you tell me about your friend with the same surname as Hua?"

"Sorry, sir, I have no interest in telling stories to strangers." Zhou Dong knew that he might not be able to afford to offend such a man, but he had already been cowardly once in his life and did not want to be cowardly again. "Farewell."

Looking at Zhou Dong's hurried away figure, Pei Yan was not angry. He lowered his eyelids and looked at the floor tiles under his feet.

He remembered this man. Hua Jin appeared in the elevator with him in the hotel in Furong City a few months ago. It was only today that he asked Hua Jin's name, which meant that Hua Jin didn't tell him at that time.

She didn't want this person to know that her name was Hua Jin, which meant that she knew him in the past. After this man knew that Hua Jin might be the person he once knew, he was not happy to meet again, but felt guilty and sad. That's why he, a man in his twenties, couldn't help crying on the street corner.

How much suffering did Hua Jin go through in the past to make people he once knew react like this?

Pei Yan covered his chest, where there was dense needle-pricking pain. He looked at Yang Shao who was running toward him expressionlessly, with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

"Brother Pei, what's wrong with you?" Yang Shao saw Pei Yan covering his chest and looking pale, so he remembered to take out his mobile phone, "Please bear with me for a while, I'll call an ambulance right away."

"I'm fine." Pei Yan held him down and stood up straight, "Let's go."

"Is everything okay?" Yang Shao was a little worried. Brother Pei didn't look like he was okay.

"Yes." Pei Yan unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled them up.

"Then you sit back and rest, and I'll drive."

"Okay." Pei Yan glanced at him and had no objection.

Now Yang Shao is even more worried. Usually when he is with Brother Pei, Brother Pei never lets him drive. Today...is he driving something evil?

After getting in the car, Yang Shao felt that the atmosphere in the car was a bit dull, and he did not dare to let Pei Yan sleep there. What if something happened?

"Brother Pei, I heard that you invested in an online costume drama a few days ago. Why did you think of investing in this thing?"

"I want to make a bet by the way." Pei Yan said, "What, you want to make a bet too?"

"Forget it, this industry is deep. The little money I have in hand is not enough to make me vomit." Yang Shao whispered, "When I went out to discuss business with my dad a few days ago, I saw Go to Pei Cunhai and be with Xu Yi."

"Xu Yi doesn't worry about how his son who is still in prison got together with Pei Cunhai." Pei Yan sneered.

"It is said that Pei Cunhai sold 2% of Yuanpan's shares to Xu Yi." Yang Shao shook his head and said, "Pei Cunhai's little tricks will probably be played to death by Xu Yi, and he doesn't even know what happened."

"A shopping mall is like a battlefield. No one else has the right to control the path he takes." Pei Yan said in a cold tone, "Let him go."

"He made Yuanpan's non-staple food like that, you..."

"The so-called treating wealth as a sustenance of emotions is actually an excuse for human greed." Pei Yan's tone was still calm, "The most important thing my grandfather left me is love and care, as well as his teachings to me. , not those properties. With so many properties in my name, there is no shortage of non-staple food for Yuanpan."

"You are quite open-minded."

"The only inconvenient thing is that you can't give Yuanpan's non-staple food to someone."

"Who?" Yang Shao thought there was something wrong with his ear, "Who should I send it to?"

However, after his curiosity was raised, Brother Pei stopped talking.

He stared at Pei Yan with wide eyes and disbelief. What kind of trick is this?

"Huahua, you don't seem to buy Yuanpan's snacks recently." Tan Yuan opened the refrigerator and found that all the ice cream brands inside had nothing to do with Yuanpan. She picked a flavor that Huajin liked and handed it to her. , "Have you finally changed your hobby?"

"Well, I will never buy food from Yuanpan's house again." Hua Jin stood up and stretched, unpacked the bag and leaned on the sofa, eating ice cream while lazing around, "I have changed my hobby."

"That's...very good." Tan Yuan sat down next to her, "Are you ready for your outfit to attend the party tonight?"

"Isn't it ready-made?" Hua Jin said, "Cheongsam and shawl. The cheongsam I made for myself last time has not been worn yet."

Tan Yuan smiled: "Oh, Mr. Pei asked you for your size, but you didn't even tell me, but you actually wore a cheongsam made by yourself. It's really..."

"It is best to emerge from the mud without being stained, and not be confused by money?" Hua Jin chuckled, "It is best for people to recognize their own identity and not dream about things that do not belong to them."

"Well, today's male customer..."

Hua Jin's hand holding the ice cream stick trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyelids: "He was my high school classmate. I was first in the class at that time, and he always seemed to be hovering around the second or third place. I haven't seen him for several years. , he looks much more handsome than he did back then. He has really transformed into a man, becoming more and more handsome."

Tan Yuan held her free hand and whispered: "Huahua, I will accompany you from now on."

"Don't think too much, I just don't want to be involved with the past." Hua Jin smiled at her, "From the day I walked out of the mountains and got on the train here, everything in the past has nothing to do with me. ”

"Well, you are one of the future heirs of Shu Embroidery, and you have a heavy responsibility."

"Yes." Hua Jinxiao arched her eyebrows, "The future star of Shu embroidery is me."

After eating the ice cream, Hua Jin washed her hands and sold another piece of embroidery before going to the small utility room at the back to change clothes and put on makeup.

As soon as Hua Jin entered, a new customer came in. As soon as Tan Yuan went up to receive him, the other person said, "Is the flower embroidery artist here?"

This was not a polite question. Tan Yuan glanced at the woman who asked the question. The woman was wearing a one-piece work suit and looked like a secretary or assistant. The man walking in front of her was wearing a suit. Not easy to get along with.

"Hello, the embroidery master has something to do. Please sit down for a moment."

"Hello, my surname is Lu. This is the president of our company. We want to talk to the embroidery artist about something."

President?

Tan Yuan glanced at the man who raised his chin slightly and said nothing: "If you two want to order embroidery, I'm afraid you have to wait for a while. The shop's custom order has been scheduled for next year."

"Embroidery?" Pei Cunhai glanced at the things in the store, and the arrogance in his tone was not concealed at all, "No need, as long as the embroidery master completes one thing for me, I will help you buy this store. No problem."

Tan Yuan: "..."

She could only watch quietly as the CEO pretended to be cool.

Hua Jin walked out of the small utility room at the back, saw the people in the store, and pulled her shawl: "Mr. Pei?"

This person also has the surname Pei? Tan Yuan couldn't help but take another look at Pei Cunhai. It seemed that not all men named Pei were handsome. Compared with the particularly good-looking Mr. Pei, this Mr. Pei was really far behind.

"Flower embroidery master." Pei Cunhai noticed Hua Jin's attire, "It seems that the flower embroidery master has an important date?"

Hua Jin took the sample book and put it in front of Pei Cunhai: "Mr. Pei is Pei Yan's family. If there is anything you like, we can make it for you in advance."

"Ha." Pei Cunhai sneered. It was just a few embroidered rags. He had to rely on Pei Yan's face to get to the front of the queue? Pushing open the heavy sample book, Pei Cunhai crossed his legs and leaned on the sofa and said, "I'm not here for the embroidery artist's embroidery, but to discuss a business with you."

Looking at the sample album that was pushed away, Hua Jin held the sample album in her hands and smiled politely: "Mr. Pei is really good at joking. As a person who runs a Shu embroidery studio, I can't do anything but talk about embroidery with you. Other than that, there is nothing to talk about."

"I heard that you have a very good relationship with my cousin?" Pei Cunhai laughed inexplicably, with a hint of contempt in his laughter, "I heard that my cousin is not only for You went out of your way to attend some traditional art exhibition, and often went out to eat with you and picked you up from get off work. The embroidery artist came from a poor background, but he allowed my weird cousin to do so many things for you. How come he has nothing to do with me? What about talking about?"

"Maybe it's because you are not as rich as him, nor as handsome as him." Hua Jin looked at Pei Cunhai with a smile, her white fingers gently resting on her cheek, with a bit of enchantment, "Even if you are born poor, Women also like good-looking men."

Pei Cunhai's eyes turned cold, but he laughed out loud: "But no matter how good-looking a man is, it is not as important as money. I think you, the flower embroiderer, also understand that with your status, it is impossible to marry Pei Yan Yeah, why don’t you think of ways to make more money?”

"Heh." Hua Jin gently drew a circle on the cover of the sample book with her fingers, but her words were full of irony, "But do you have as much money as Pei Yan?"

"Although I don't have it, but..." Pei Cunhai stretched out his hand, ready to hold Hua Jin's hand on the sample booklet, but Hua Jin walked around it lightly.

He sneered and took back his hand, "But as long as you do one thing for me, I can give you more things. I can give you a house, a car, household registration here, and fame in the embroidery industry. You."

"But," Hua Jin tilted her head, her tone was extremely gentle, "I am a very principled person, for example... I will not help greedy and ugly men."

She chuckled, her face as pretty as a flower: "Mr. Pei, I hope you are self-aware."
