He sent a photo of bruises on his face to Xiaotian, and asked Xiaotian to ask the director to extend his vacation under the pretext of being beaten up by some hooligans.

Taking advantage of this time, he found a detective to find Bai Yi's whereabouts, but because he stayed in New York for too short a time, he finally returned to Yanshi with nothing.

But luckily, after he returned to Yan City, someone took a picture of Bai Yi in a domestic cafe and sent it to him. He guessed that Bai Yi probably returned to China after meeting him that day.

For some reason, he had a vague intuition that Bai Yi had a secret, and that secret was related to Gu Lizhao.

Time flies, and it is Christmas in a blink of an eye.

Chu Pei looked at the Christmas tree decorations, and felt even more sad, because today is Gu Lizhao's birthday, or it should be called "Ming's Birthday" now.

He was wearing Gu Lizhao's coat that he wore away three years ago, and he put on the couple ring inlaid with sapphires on his left ring finger.

Coincidentally, the bankruptcy proceedings of Gu's Group also came to an end today, and the liquidation team was officially abolished, canceling the registration of Gu's Group.

Yang Silin's WeChat will always sound annoying at such times: "We have dinner tonight to celebrate, not only to celebrate festivals, but also to celebrate other things. Mom told you to come."

Chu Pei frowned slightly, and immediately locked the phone.

The spacious room did not turn on the lights, but lit a lot of small romantic candlestick lamps. The light was dim and the atmosphere was hazy. A huge luxurious Christmas tree reached the ceiling, with colorful lights wrapped around it and gorgeous decorations.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the wonderful night view of Yan City. Because it is Christmas, the night view is three points more beautiful than usual. The festive atmosphere is very strong, with festive and gorgeous Christmas trees, Santa Claus, Santa Claus music, Christmas hats, Christmas stockings and bells …

"Merry Christmas" and some Christmas-themed graphics played live on the glossy mirrors of most high-rise buildings.

There are also advertisements in front of the building that fans raise funds to buy for idols or confess to idols.

For example, in the two twin buildings, the one on the left is "Happy Dayan Dynasty Finishing" and the one on the right is "Merry Christmas Chu Pei".

The back of the man standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows was tall and straight. He looked out of the window with a bit of melancholy eyes. His eyes were mainly focused on the two buildings related to Chu Pei, and the cigarette lights between his fingers were on and off.

Standing behind the man, there was another man hidden in the shadows, and that man was respectfully reporting on the investigation of Chu Pei.

"After that incident happened, Chu Pei spent most of his time on the set, and he had no scandals with the actors or actresses. He devoted himself to work and went to New York for the few days of the memorial service. Bai Yi met him and beat him up. After a week in New York, I came back, and have been on the set since then..."

"...In addition, I also found out that after Chu Pei left the villa three years ago, he was taken away by his mother, and the evidence shows that his mother is Yang Silin's stepmother Lin Li. Her previous name was Lin Jia. Lin Li helped him change his name, repackaged him and stepped into the entertainment industry, it's no wonder that he would do his best to help the Yang family, and Yang Silin and him are brothers in the legal sense..."

The man in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows continued to smoke his cigarette, muttering thoughtfully: "Lin Li..."

"Also... It is said that Lin Li changed Yang Silin's name for him. After counting his birth date, he said that she is so prosperous... But these are all gossip."

The reporting man waited in the shadows for further instructions.

The man by the floor-to-ceiling windows snuffed out the cigarette in the white glass ashtray on the small table next to him, and said in a perverted voice, "Okay, I know, you should go to celebrate Christmas too."

"Aren't you with us?" the man in the shadow asked nervously.

The man in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows kept his back to him, with one hand in his trouser pocket, and the other hand stroking his chin: "No hurry, the fun has just begun, it's still early, I have to take every step."

"clear."

After the man who "reported to work" left, the man in front of the floor-to-ceiling window turned around and said with a smile, "It seems that this Christmas, I can only spend it with you."

It turned out that there was another man sitting on the sofa. That man was as tall and immovable as a mountain, and he was very cautious even in the sound of his breathing.

Chu Pei came to the restaurant that Yang Silin had booked, and the waiter led him into the private room. The lively music along the way and the Christmas atmosphere blowing over his face made him feel uneasy.

He knew that these discomforts were also caused by Gu Lizhao, but he comforted himself by deluding himself, thinking that he had been in the crew for a long time and was isolated from the world for too long, so he had this illusion of being out of place.

The waiter unscrewed the door of the private room and raised his hand to invite him in. As soon as he went in to take off his baseball cap and mask, the wooden door closed behind him. His mother happily stepped forward and hugged him, and the smell of expensive perfume immediately Dilutes the aroma of the food.

"Xiao Pei, I really miss you. You are too busy now. I haven't seen you for several months." After letting him go, my mother held his arms tightly and stood on tiptoe. Kissed his forehead with the tip of his toe.

My mother is 47 this year, but she is well maintained. She seems to be in her early 30s. She has the appearance of a gentle Jiangnan woman with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes. She has long chestnut wavy hair hanging on her vest. She is wearing a blue cashmere sweater and a coffee-colored coat. On the entry coat rack, leather pants and British-style boots are underneath.

"Recently, the schedule is a bit full." Chu Pei explained with a forced smile, and sat beside his mother after taking the table.

Since Gu's Group entered the bankruptcy process, Chu Pei quickly set up his own studio, not only became the boss, but also signed many former Sunny Entertainment artists.

There were only four people at the table, Yang Silin and his son and their mother and son. Tonight was a real family banquet.

Yang Silin's father, Yang Shuncong, didn't like seeing Chu Pei, but because he was afraid of his wife, he didn't dare to flirt with Chu Pei.

Yang Shun's appearance is actually unsightly, his hair and beard are a bit sparse, and because of excessive sexual indulgence when he was young, now he is only ten years older than Lin Li, but he looks very old, as if he is her godfather.

Yang Silin's appearance is completely inherited from his mother who was overwhelmed by the country and the city and was pissed off by his Huaxin father early on. Otherwise, with his father's unattractive appearance, I am afraid it would be difficult to be like a fish in water among the flowers and grass.

At the table, Chu Pei was mainly responsible for eating and occasionally answering questions, but most of the answers were extremely perfunctory.

The atmosphere of the family banquet was mainly fueled by my mother, who raised her glass of red wine, blushed her cheeks and said happily: "Let's have a drink as a family, and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas."

Yang Silin chuckled, and secretly looked at Chu Pei from top to bottom. At this moment, he deliberately stared at Chu Pei's face, which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted: "Mom, don't forget, the Gu Group has completely Writing off bankruptcy, that's one of the things we celebrate."

"Oh, that's right."

Lin Li sneered, she had no sympathy for the son of her old boss who tortured Chu Pei to death.

The four of them happily slammed their cups, Chu Pei took a sip, picked up a piece of Gu Lizhao's favorite twice-cooked pork with chopsticks, and chewed it slowly.

Not long after putting down the wine glass, Yang Silin seemed to think of something again, and said to Chu Pei, "By the way, mom misses you so much, why don't you go home and live in Gu Lizhao's villa, don't you?"

Chu Pei's heart and the hands holding the chopsticks trembled, and his eyes slashed at Yang Silin with precision like a knife.

Yang Silin swallowed instinctively, and the father beside him also gave him dissatisfied winks. Yang Shun didn't like Chu Pei, and wished he could go as far as he could. His own son was fine, but he even warmly invited him, making him so angry The beard almost flew off.

"Mom, what do you think?" Yang Silin had no choice but to throw the topic to Lin Li.

After all, it was Lin Li's wish that he invited Chu Pei to live at home.

Who knew that Lin Li would really turn to Chu Pei for everything, and glanced at him coldly: "I have nothing to say, as long as Xiao Pei likes it, he can live anywhere."

Yang Silin suffered from being dumb, so he had to smile embarrassingly and bow his head to pick up some vegetables.

"Mom, I'm going to the bathroom."

After saying that, Chu Pei got up and left the private room.

The atmosphere of the entire restaurant made him very depressed, and the private room was even more depressing. He now strongly needs to breathe.

Standing outside the restaurant, Chu Pei lowered his head and smoked a cigarette silently. He lowered the baseball cap on his head so as not to be recognized by passers-by.

After calming down for a cigarette, he re-entered the dining room, this time heading towards the men's bathroom.

When he stood in front of the sink and lowered his head to wash his hands after toileting, a customer beside him who was washing his hands accidentally spilled water on his face and said "I'm sorry" apologetically.

Chu Pei was dull for half a second before he realized that the voice was very familiar. When he raised his head and saw the figure going out, he became more sure of his thoughts. His heart beat wildly and he chased after him, but after opening the door, he bumped into Yang Silin again. It's right.

"Mom asked me to find you, did you fall into the toilet?"

Yang Silin grinned mockingly.

The flames of Chu Pei's expectation were still burning brightly in his eyes. He pushed away Yang Silin who was blocking his way, but he couldn't see the back just now: "Did you see it?"

"Who is it?" Yang Silin followed his gaze.

Chu Pei affirmed, "Xu Qiao."

"I didn't notice," Yang Silin shook his head, with the tip of his tongue against his teeth indifferently, "It's just a defeated man, so what if he sees it, can he still eat us?"

Chu Pei's gaze still scanned the lobby persistently: "He may be in the private room."

"Chu Pei, I didn't notice anything about Xu Qiao, but if you don't wear a mask, I'm afraid your baseball cap won't be able to suppress your star demeanor." Yang Silin smiled and said sarcastic words.

Chu Pei: "..."

Only then did he notice that some girls were already taking pictures of him.

He quickly put on the mask, lowered the brim of his hat and hurried to the private room, while Yang Silin followed slowly.

After returning to the table, his mother didn't question him why he had been away for so long, but just kept bringing him food and persuading him to eat more.

Chu Pei's thoughts were a little confused now, he was very curious about Xu Qiao's situation, and within 10 minutes of eating alone, his mother screamed and brought his thoughts back to reality.

"Hurry up, take your dad to the hospital." Mom hugged Yang Shun, who was leaning on her shoulder, and shouted at Yang Silin.

Yang Silin was so frightened that his face turned pale, and with the assistance of his mother, he quickly put his father on his back and rushed out of the private room.

Chu Pei was also a little stunned by the fright, and hurriedly followed.

Yang Silin was driving, Chu Pei sat in the co-pilot, and his mother sat in the back seat holding Yang Shun who had a heart attack.

Through the window of the co-pilot, Chu Pei saw a Bentley passing by, and the driver was Bai Yi.
