The next morning, there was a knock on the door.
Then the housekeeper, Uncle Kai, woke up cautiously, "Mr. Pei Xiao, are you up yet?"
Pei Yi, who hadn't slept enough, tried to block the sound with the quilt, and then recalled her environment, and had to struggle to get out of the quilt's embrace, and got up to open the door.
—Knock knock.
Uncle Kai, who had been knocking on the door outside the house for a long time, finally saw the door open.
"Uncle Kai."
Pei Yi's hair was messed up, her eyes were sleepy, her voice was soft and lazy, and there was a red indentation on her fair cheeks, her dazed appearance was really cute.
Uncle Kai thought of his youngest son who was still in high school, and smiled a little more, "Sir, are you hungry? Do you want to go downstairs for breakfast?"
When Pei Yi heard Uncle Kai's address change to her, her thoughts were slowed down by sleepiness for two seconds.
Uncle Kai seemed to see his doubts, and took the initiative to explain, "There is also a 'young master' in this family according to age. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future, the second young master asked us to change our words."
Hearing Uncle Kai's words, Pei Yi remembered that there was such a young master in the Bo family in the original book, so she nodded.
It's just a title, no matter how convenient it is.
Uncle Kai glanced at the time on his watch, "Sir, you pack up before you go downstairs? Do you need help?"
Pei Yi shook her head.
The original owner can take care of himself even when washing and washing, let alone him who is already sane.
Uncle Kai didn't urge him, and went downstairs after a simple explanation. Pei Yi went back to the room to wash up, and only made trouble when he opened the suitcase—
In a hurry to leave the smoky place in Pei's house last night, he casually took a few sets of clothes from the closet and left. Looking carefully at this moment, most of the original owners were old clothes worn for many years, and almost all of them had been washed. When it comes to pale and old.
Pei Yi could only pick out a simple set of white T-shirt and black trousers, barely topping her body.
It probably has something to do with the growth environment and mentality. The original owner's appearance is fair and young, soft and not sharp at all, and looks like a soft little milk cat or a little white rabbit.
It's just that now he has such a black heart inside.
After finishing packing, Pei Yi went down the stairs, and the restaurant on the first floor was still filled with the aroma of breakfast.
Bo Yueming sat on his seat, there was only one empty plate left in front of the table, he should have eaten it already.
"Sir, come here and sit down, what do you want to eat?" Uncle Kai handed the brewed coffee to Bo Yueming's hand, "There are sandwiches and meal bags, and the kitchen can also cook steak and eggs."
Pei Yi didn't have much need for breakfast, so she casually picked up the buns in the dining box on the table.
Seeing this, Uncle Kai asked, "What do you want to drink? Coffee?"
Pei Yi caught a glimpse of the hot coffee in Bo Yueming's hand, and felt that the base of his tongue was already bitter. He suddenly remembered the red wine that he failed to drink last night, so he pursed his lips lightly.
Before he could speak, Bo Yueming answered instead, "Is there any milk at home? Ask the kitchen to warm him a cup."
"..."
Pei Yi was speechless.
Uncle Kai, who received the instructions, nodded and asked Pei Yi, "Sir, do you like warm milk?"
Pei Yi's 'no' got stuck in her throat, so she had to change her words in order to maintain her image, "Well, I like it."
Compared with red wine and coffee, sweet drinks like milk do match the image of the original owner better.
Uncle Kai immediately went into the kitchen to order preparations, and only Pei Yi and Bo Yueming were left in the spacious dining room, very quiet.
While pulling the bun, Pei Yi unconsciously looked at the other's elbow.
Compared with the relatively simple medicine powder to stop the bleeding last night, the wound has been covered with a layer of waterproof and anti-infection medical plaster.
Bo Yueming took a sip of coffee, "The wound is alright now."
Pei Yi stopped tearing the bread, and looked at Bo Yueming uncertainly—
The other party's eyes were still so deep, like a deep sea with no ripples, obviously he couldn't see anything, but he could catch all the subtle light in it.
Bo Yueming put down his coffee, "Still staring at me?"
"No, no."
It was rare for Pei Yi, who was caught, to get stuck, so he swallowed the bun, when a question came from the opposite side, "Pei Yi, do you need to go see your mother?"
"..."
Pei Yi was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect the other party to bring up this matter.
Bo Yueming didn't hear Pei Yi's response, nor could he observe his expression, but he had already opened his mouth, so he didn't intend to say half of it and keep the other half.
"Before the two proposed marriage, I sent someone to inquire about your general situation." Bo Yueming did not hide this fact, "I heard that Ms. Shu and Miss Pei have been living in the Imperial Capital for these years. Do they know about your marriage?"
Pei Yi shook her head, and immediately remembered Bo Yueming's eyes, "Grandpa won't let me see them."
Bo Yueming guessed that this would be the case, "If you think it is necessary to let them know about this, you can ask Uncle Kai to take you to them this afternoon."
When Pei Yi heard this proposal, a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes.
Before falling asleep last night, he was still thinking about how to meet the original owner's mother and sister, but he didn't expect that when he woke up, Bo Yueming would give him a chance to meet upright.
Pei Yi has made up her mind, but she never forgets the original owner's intention, "I, can I go?"
Bo Yueming tapped the outer wall of the warm coffee cup with his fingertips, "Yes."
Last night, Pei Yi mentioned his biological mother when he was dealing with the wound. Although it was just a word, it still reminded Bo Yueming of his own growth experience.
Since the other party wants to meet, he will follow suit and let Uncle Kai take him to meet him.
In the first place, it can be regarded as "repaying" Pei Yi's kindness to him last night.
Secondly, just in case, let Uncle Kai take the opportunity to find out the true disposition of the mother and daughter, lest the greedy and unreliable master would use Pei Yi's name to cause trouble for the Bo family in the future.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the car stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated alley.
The original owner's diary recorded the address of her mother Shu Wan, which was the same as the address that Bo Yueming had privately found out, both at No. 26 Baiyang Lane Hutong.
The path made of stone slabs is full of potholes, and the walls of the alleys on both sides are covered with various printed advertisements and moss. To be honest, the houses in this area are not good, and they are very remote.
As soon as Pei Yi stepped into the alley, the memories left in his mind flooded out. For more than 20 years, the original owner's mother and sister have always lived here, and have never moved.
Uncle Kai approached, "Sir, do you remember this place? Is it here?"
Pei Yi nodded. Before he could say anything, there was a commotion in the depths of the alley.
"Am I the landlord or are you the landlord?"
"If you can't pay the rent, get out! If you live for a long time, you will consider it your own home? Do you still want to occupy my house and not leave?"
"So what if it's not until the end of the month? If you don't sign the agreement today, then get the **** out of here! There's nothing to discuss!"
As the footsteps approached, the dispute became louder and louder.
— Bang!
A bunch of things were thrown out from the gate of 'No. 26', scattered all over the ground, and then a middle-aged woman was severely pushed and fell from the house to the door.
"Hiss."
The middle-aged woman's hair was a little disheveled, and her wrist was stained with blood by the stone road when she fell to the ground.
Regardless of the pain, she quickly picked up the two photos that had been thrown on the ground, with a forbearing and helpless look on her face, "Mr. Zheng, don't bully people too much!"
Pei Yi caught a glimpse of the portraits on the two photos from the corner of her eye, and her expression changed slightly.
An ordinary-looking man with a cropped head stepped out of the threshold and sneered at the middle-aged woman, "Don't be miserable, I won't let you do that!"
After saying that, he noticed Pei Yi, Uncle Kai and the others nearby, and shouted impolitely, "Who are you, why are you standing in front of my house to watch the excitement? Let's go!"
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she belatedly turned her eyes to the side, and the moment her eyes met Pei Yi, her eyes were red with surprise and joy.
"Xiao, Xiaoyi! Why are you here?"
Pei Yi officially confirmed the identity of the other party, that is, the original owner's mother, Shu Wan. He quickly walked forward, helped the other party up from the ground, and looked at the scratched wrist with a heavy gaze.
"Does it hurt?"
"Xiaoyi, it's really my Xiaoyi!"
Shu Wan was immersed in the shock of seeing her own son, and didn't notice the tone of the inquiry. She tremblingly stroked Pei Yi's shoulder, absolutely speechless and didn't know where to start.
"Let Mom take a good look, how did you lose so much weight? What's the matter with the bruises on your hands?"
The warmth of the mother-child meeting hadn't lasted for a few seconds, and the inch-headed male landlady regained his sense of existence, "Hey, this is the silly son you always talk about?"
"It's just right here! If you don't make up for the rent increase today! Then get out of here together!"
The tone of the speech was a lot more brutal.
Shu Wan was afraid that the landlord's violent temper would scare Pei Yi, so she forcibly put away her inner helplessness, and tightly guarded her son behind her, "Mr. Zheng, my youngest son can't be provoked. Let's be kind angrily, I beg you not to frighten him."
Before the lingering sound fell, a gentle but firm voice followed, "Mom! What are you talking about with such a shameless rascal!"
Everyone looked at the person who came by in unison, and a young girl with a gentle and beautiful appearance ran up.
Looking at each other, Pei Yi recognized her as the original owner's sister, Pei Yuan.
Pei Yuan looked at Pei Yi with a smile of surprise, and then looked at Shu Wan's bruised wrist distressedly, "Mom, why is Xiao Yi here? Are you all okay?"
The inch-cut male landlady who was called a 'rascal' took a step forward, his face stained with anger, "Damn, who the **** are you calling a rascal?"
Pei Yuan took a deep breath. Although he was petite, he still mustered up the courage to stand in front of his mother and younger brother, "Zheng Bin, don't think that our mother and daughter will tolerate you again and again!"
"In the past six months, you have violated the rental contract we have made from the beginning, and the monthly rent has increased from 5,000 to 6,000, and then to 8,000, and now you want to increase it to 10,000!"
"As long as we don't want to, you can just barge in and make trouble! Last time you pushed my mother, you sprained your foot, and now you've hurt her wrist! Who's the one who's making unreasonable and shameless words!"
This floor-to-ceiling apartment is small in size, and it is the place where Shu Wan and her husband Pei Ruye started their "home".
The original landlord was Zheng Bin's mother, a very gentle person.
For more than 20 years, she, who is also a woman, knows that Shu Wan's difficulties are not easy, and she always takes care of her during the holidays. Even if the price of goods soars with time, the rent price increase of the old landlord is within the reach of their mother and daughter. scope.
A year ago, the old landlord transferred the ownership of the house to his son Zheng Bin. After the other party got the house, he immediately demanded a price increase.
Shu Wan and Pei Yuan both agreed at the beginning, and they couldn't keep accepting the mother's favor, so the two parties re-signed the rental contract, paid a deposit, and agreed to pay the rent every two months.
Shu Wan didn't want her daughter to bear too much rent, and would rather get up early and return home late to work two jobs part-time, but she never complained about hardship or tiredness, and with the savings left over from these years of frugality, the rent is not difficult to solve.
Unexpectedly, only half a year later, Zheng Bin openly regretted the price increase.
This house carries too many memories of Shu Wan, so she was not willing to move away easily. In addition, after Mrs. Pei passed away, the mother and daughter have been rejected by the Pei family. They haven't seen Pei Yi for a long time. .
The address of this house is the only place Pei Yi knows where they can be found.
For the son, for the younger brother.
The mother and daughter gritted their teeth time and time again to agree to the rent increase conditions, but they didn't expect Zheng Bin to be so outrageous!
The more Pei Yuan thought about it, the more angry and wronged he felt, and he accused tremblingly, "Zheng Bin, the house in this area cannot be rented at this price at all! You just think that we definitely need this house, and think that orphans and widows are soft persimmons. That's why I raised the rent arbitrarily and unreasonably!"
During the lease period, the price was crazily breached and the price was increased. Every time the door-to-door demanded the rent, the violence became more and more serious. The rent of 10,000 yuan was not a small amount in the Imperial Capital!
"Let me tell you! I will keep all the rental contracts and transfer records!"
Pei Yuan was also afraid of Zheng Bin's tall and big man, but for the sake of his thin mother and brother who didn't understand anything, he forced a choked breath, "If you dare to act recklessly again, we will go to the police station to deal with it! Who the **** is the ruffian seems unreasonable!"
"you…"
Zheng Bin knew that he was wrong, but he didn't want Pei Yuan to lose face. Angrily, he raised his fist to scare the person in front of him, "Don't think I dare not hit a woman!"
As soon as the threatening words came out—
Pei Yi, who was protected by the mother and daughter, rushed forward, and punched him unbearably!
