Counterattack and rebirth: Madam stunned Mr. Pei

Chapter 144 Let’s go back today

Chen Xiaoran still didn't speak.

At around five o'clock in the morning, Zhou Ziyan prepared breakfast porridge and delivered it to the room herself.

Chen Xiaoran couldn't think too much about her actions and the attitudes of the Pei family.

Pei Yuanchen saw her after he got up. He didn't feel anything at all: "Why are you standing outside the door?"

Zhou Ziyan took the initiative to explain: "Le Yan got up early and clamored for some porridge, so I sent some to Yuan Chen."

Pei Leyan is really a good excuse.

It was a coincidence that she wanted to drink porridge on the first day of the New Year.

"Why did it take so long to pour the water?"

Chen Xiaoran didn't answer.

"You didn't mean to pour me water, why did you drink it yourself?" Pei Yuanchen joked.

Chen Xiaoran turned around and was about to pour another glass. She wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

She wanted to be sarcastic, but it seemed like she had lost her grace and could only remain silent.

Then leaving is the most honorable way.

At this time, Pei Yuanchen had already walked to her side, took the cup and took a sip very naturally.

"I'll just drink this cup."

Seeing the intimate interaction between the two of them, Zhou Ziyan felt awkward staying any longer, so she took the initiative to leave.

But Pei Leyan was still lying on the bed: "I don't want to leave. The smell in uncle's room smells good, but it doesn't exist in our room."

Ever since Pei Yuanchen knew that Chen Xiaoran couldn't sleep well at night, he had people make a lot of soothing sachets for her.

She also has them at home and in her car. When she came to live here in her old house, she naturally took them with her.

Pei Leyan rolled around on the bed happily.

"She's a kid. If she likes it, let her stay."

Zhou Ziyan said apologetically: "Le Yan and I usually live alone, and we rely on her for everything. I'm really sorry."

Chen Xiaoran found it funny. She said she was sorry, but she had no intention of taking Pei Leyan away.

"It's okay, as a girl, you should."

At this time, Zhou Ziyan found a storybook lying on Pei Yuanchen's bedside.

She picked it up and looked through it, knowing that Pei Yuanchen didn't read these things. He might be focused on scientific research, so she asked casually: "Xiao Ran, do you usually like reading story books?"

Chen Xiaoran smiled and said nothing.

This habit also started when she had bad sleep treatment. From that time on, Pei Yuanchen would tell her stories before going to bed, so this book was born.

However, this was a private matter between the two of them. It was not convenient for Chen Xiaoran to talk about it, and there was no need for Zhou Ziyan to know. She smiled awkwardly.

This smile misunderstood Zhou Ziyan.

"It's nice to be young."

"Mom, mom, tell me a story."

Zhou Ziyan sat aside and told stories. Her voice was gentle, her long hair was blowing on her shoulders, and the light from outside fell on the bed through the ends of her hair. It was very peaceful and warm.

Pei Yuanchen changed his clothes and walked out.

On the first day of the New Year, he was still at home, still wearing a suit, and his meticulous look was very funny.

After Pei Yuanchen appeared, Zhou Ziyan gave the book to Pei Leyan and asked her to read it by herself.

Then it became a three-person chat.

However, it was Zhou Ziyan who started most of the topics. Not only did she talk to Pei Yuanchen, she also took good care of Chen Xiaoran and always looked at her after Pei Yuanchen finished speaking.

It's really comprehensive.

Chen Xiaoran was quite shocked that a child as young as Pei Leyan knew so many words.

Zhou Ziyan explained: "Overseas, it is different from us here. There is not much movement with the surrounding neighbors, so I can only read and listen to Le Yanduo, and gradually she will learn to speak a lot."

"So nice."

Pei Leyan read the sad part and cried herself.

She murmured: "The father of the little girl here is dead, and my father is also dead."

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Ziyan sternly stopped her: "Shut up, don't say any more."

Leyan was already sad, but now she was scolded again, and she cried loudly.

Zhou Ziyan was not as calm and decent as before, she directly picked up Zhou Leyan, said sorry to the two of them and left.

Chen Xiaoran remained silent and did not ask any more questions.

Pei Yuanchen looked at her and said, "Let's go back today."

Chen Xiaoran said nothing.

While eating, Yuan Shaohua saw that Pei Yuanchen's face looked much better, and he felt relieved.

Pei Ruoxi and Yuan Shaohua talked about a lot of interesting things in the past. The two were reminiscing about the past and lamented that time passed so fast. In the blink of an eye, the third generation was already so old.

Yuan Shaohua is so happy now, and how shocked she was when Pei Yuanchen said he was leaving after dinner.

The Chinese New Year is a time for family reunion, and Yuan Shaohua naturally hopes to be with his son.

She looked very ugly, so she naturally thought it was Pei Yuanchen's problem.

Chen Xiaoran saw Yuan Shaohua's thoughts and said, "Otherwise, we can leave after the New Year."

"No, you go outside first, and I'll have a word with the old lady."

When Chen Xiaoran arrived in the yard, she sat on a recliner and looked at the sky.

Zhou Ziyan walked over: "You are wearing too thin, you will catch a cold."

Chen Xiaoran smiled and said, "It's okay."

"Although you are young, you still need to pay attention to your health."

Zhou Ziyan said and stood next to her: "Auntie asked you to go home and talk to you."

"it is good."

When Chen Xiaoran was answering, he asked: "Sister-in-law, the name Leyan should have been given by my eldest brother, right?"

Zhou Ziyan was stunned, but quickly returned to normal: "It's him, how did you know?"

"The word "Yan" has the same pronunciation as the last character in your name. You probably didn't choose it yourself. The eldest brother named him Le Yan because he hopes that his child will always be happy and love you very much."

Chen Xiaoran is absolutely right.

Now it was Zhou Ziyan's turn to be silent.

Chen Xiaoran asked again: "Did the eldest brother pass away?"

"Yes, he has been dead for many years."

Chen Xiaoran could finally understand why the Pei family had such expressions when they mentioned Pei Yuze.

This name has become a taboo in the Pei family.

It happened that Leyan was also playing in the yard.

A child's happiness is that simple. Just spinning around in the yard makes her happy.

Leyan turned around and said, "Mom, look! My skirt is spinning!"

Zhou Ziyan responded and said: "It's great."

Le Yan was so happy that she didn't see there was a step behind her, so she stepped on it and was about to fall.

Chen Xiaoran saw it first, and she shouted: "Leyan, be careful."

As she spoke, she rushed over.

With her as a flesh cushion under him, Pei Leyan was not seriously injured.

On the contrary, Chen Xiaoran felt pain all over her body.

Zhou Ziyan hurriedly helped Pei Leyan up, and then hurriedly helped Chen Xiaoran up.

"Xiao Ran, thank you very much."
