I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Shen Qiang lowered her head, her lips trembling, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Pei Jingchuan stood next to Jiang Yuzhu and interjected coldly: "Do you dare to do such a thing again in the future?"

Shen Qiang retreated slightly as if she had been hit hard.

Jiang Yuzhu understood what he meant and sighed inwardly. It was not so much that Pei Jingchuan didn't like Shen Qiang, but that he was too protective of her and was afraid that Shen Qiang would hurt her again.

Jiang Xianmei looked at Shen Qiang and her tone became softer.

"Shen Qiang, go home. I know you have a lot of things to say in your heart, but now is not the time. Let's talk about it when we go home."

Shen Qiang swallowed and raised her head, with deep regret in her eyes.

Her slightly trembling voice was filled with subtle fear.

"Sister, I... I'm really sorry for what I did before. I'm not qualified, and I don't dare to expect your forgiveness. I just hope... that you can know that my regret now is sincere."

Jiang Yuzhu was silent, her silence was more weighty than any words.

She turned to Jiang Xianmei, nodded slightly, and said goodbye: "Aunt, the evening breeze is cool. Please go back early to avoid catching a cold."

Then, Jiang Yuzhu turned around and walked towards Pei Jingchuan. His tall figure was like a lonely barrier, seeming to isolate himself from the troubles of the world.

His eyes were indifferent, and he didn't respond to Shen Qiang's apology. He just gently put his arm around Jiang Yuzhu's shoulders, as if he were a protector.

"Let's go." Pei Jingchuan's voice was low and without any ripples.

Jiang Yuzhu just nodded and walked side by side with him towards the vehicle parked not far away.

Pei Jingchuan opened the car door and greeted her politely but indifferently.

Jiang Yuzhu entered the car, followed closely by Pei Jingchuan. The door was gently closed, cutting off the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

The sound of the engine starting was particularly clear in the night sky. The car drove away slowly, leaving Shen Qiang standing in the sea breeze. Jiang Xianmei stood there, watching the car go away. Shen Qiang's figure was silhouetted against the lone lamp, making her look even more lonely. .

At this moment, Shen Qiang may have truly felt what regret is.

In the car, Pei Jingchuan took a deep breath. The faint car lights penetrated the night and illuminated the two figures even more quietly.

Glancing at Jiang Yuzhu who was sitting next to him, his eyes seemed to see through the night and into the distance.

"Yuzhu," Pei Jingchuan's voice was low but clear enough, "a person's past cannot be changed. And you don't have to force yourself to forgive those who hurt you."

Jiang Yuzhu gently closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the slight cold wind blowing in from the car window.

"I know," Jiang Yuzhu's voice sounded a little tired, "but sometimes, I still feel a little reluctant to let go. After all, Shen Qiang and I grew up together."

There are feelings no matter what...

Pei Jingchuan raised his eyebrows lightly, but his tone remained indifferent.

"Not every apology is worthy of acceptance. Not all mistakes can be forgiven by saying sorry. People should be responsible for what they do."

Jiang Yuzhu nodded. She knew that he said these things for her own good.

"Jingchuan," Jiang Yuzhu said softly, with a touch of dependence in his tone, "Thank you for always being by my side."

The car finally stopped in front of the Pei family's mansion. The ancient European-style building looked particularly solemn in the night.

"I still have some official business to deal with," Pei Jingchuan lowered his head slightly and looked at Jiang Yuzhu with deep eyes, "You go up and rest first."

Jiang Yuzhu nodded. She could feel his fatigue: "Okay, you should go to bed early."

The two entered the villa respectively. Pei Jingchuan turned and walked towards the study, while Jiang Yuzhu walked lightly up the stairs towards the bedroom.

Just as she walked to the bedroom door, her phone suddenly rang.

She took it out of her bag and saw the words "Mrs. Pei" on the display. Her heart skipped a beat and she answered the phone.

"Yuzhu," Mrs. Pei's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's been a long time. I heard that you and Jingchuan went out together tonight."

"Well, yes, grandma." Jiang Yuzhu replied softly, with a hint of respect in his tone, "I'm sorry, I haven't come to see you for a long time."

Mrs. Pei smiled slightly: "My child, you don't have to be so polite. I'm calling just to know how you are doing lately. I always feel that the relationship between you and Jingchuan seems to be much closer than before."

A blush appeared on Jiang Yuzhu's face, and she bit her lip gently: "Grandma, you are so sensitive. In fact... we just understand each other better."

Mrs. Pei smiled softly: "Understanding is a good thing. When two people are together, understanding and trust are the most important."

Jiang Yuzhu lowered his head slightly, feeling very emotional in his heart.

"Okay," Mrs. Pei's voice seemed to have a hint of kindness, "I won't disturb your rest. I hope to see you soon."

"Grandma," Jiang Yuzhu smiled softly, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone, "you make it sound like I haven't seen you for a long time. After get off work tomorrow, I will come over to the old house to see you. How about it?"

When Mrs. Pei heard this, her heart warmed up, but she still said gently: "Then there is Lao Yuzhu. But don't be too tired. If you are busy at work, there is no need to force yourself."

Jiang Yuzhu sneered: "Grandma, I think it would be more interesting to go to the old house, drink tea and chat with you instead of hanging out with documents in the office."

Mrs. Pei was delighted after hearing this. She really liked this girl who could take care of Jingchuan: "Okay, then I'll wait for you."

"Well, see you tomorrow, grandma."

After saying that, Jiang Yuzhu gently hung up the phone and looked out the window. The moonlight was like water, quiet and beautiful.

At this time, the door of the study room opened slightly, and Pei Jingchuan walked out.

There was some concern in his slightly tired eyes: "Is this from grandma?"

Jiang Yuzhu nodded: "Well, she said she hasn't seen me for a long time, so I plan to visit her after get off work tomorrow."

Pei Jingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of indifference in his tone: "I will also go to the old house tomorrow, let's go together."

Jiang Yuzhu felt the concern in his words, and warmth flowed in her heart: "Okay, let's get together tomorrow."
