Wen Jiabao upgraded

  In a quiet corner of the Golden Coffee House, Lin Peipei and Su Mei sat facing each other, neither of them speaking. Lin Peipei calmly looked at Su Mei across from her, waiting for her to speak first. Su Mei also waited, wanting Lin Peipei to make the first move, thinking that as long as she spoke first, she would be able to grasp the initiative. However, she didn't expect Lin Peipei's calm demeanor, and gradually it was Su Mei who became restless.

  "Lin Mei, I'm being very presumptuous by finding you...I wanted to talk to you about something...regarding...me and Qin Feng..."

  Su Mei picked up the teacup in front of her, not drinking it but just holding it in her palm and playing with it. She deliberately spoke in a hesitant tone, looking very embarrassed, and only said a few sentences before pausing again, raising her eyes to look at Lin Peipei's unchanged expression.

  "I've known Qin Feng for ten years, from the time we were in the same military school... back then he was very considerate of me (he even helped me buy a train ticket once)... I thought he wasn't done playing around yet, so I waited for him... since you came back, he's like a different person, he's especially nice to you. He never smiled at anyone else as much as he does at you, his face was always cold and icy (but only with you), I know he has a good relationship with your brother Lin Hao Tian, they're like brothers, so I think it's natural that he's nice to you..."

  Su Mei put down her teacup, raised her eyes, and saw that Lin Pei Pei still had no reaction.

  "That year, it was also Qin Feng's father who asked him to take care of me at school (that was your father's face-saving request), my parents and his parents had a very close relationship... Don't look at Qin Feng's tough exterior, he's actually very simple when it comes to emotions, if some of your actions make him misunderstand, afterwards... he will be very heartbroken..."

  "Sumei jie, what exactly do you want to say to me?"

  Lin Peipei was getting impatient with Su Mei's evasive and ambiguous words, which were actually empty and meaningless, only meant to lure people into thinking in a certain direction. If Lin Peipei hadn't already known Qin Feng's attitude towards her from the beginning, she might have been misled by Su Mei's words.

  "Lin Mei, you've been abroad for so many years and just came back, maybe a lot of people won't remember you anymore, it's okay, you can slowly get to know them again, being young is great, there's still plenty of time to waste... I want to say... I'm really sorry that I knew Qin Feng first."

  Su Mei didn't answer Lin Pei Pei's question directly, but instead turned around 360 degrees and came back to it, her purpose was to confuse Lin Pei Pei, the last sentence was what she really wanted to say.

  "Is this what you wanted to tell me? I..."

  Lin Pei Pei didn't want to listen anymore, feeling that sitting there listening to her talk about nothing was a waste of her time and life. She regretted agreeing to come and hear her speak, thinking she had something important to say, but it turned out to be nothing special. Just as she wanted to leave, the phone rang.

  Lin Pei Pei answered the phone in front of Su Mei and said a few words before hanging up, "Sister Su Mei, is that all you wanted to say?"

  "Yes, I think..."

  "I roughly understood what you meant, thank you for telling me these things, I will consider them. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first, do you want me to send you back?"

  Lin Pei Pei didn't wait for Su Mei to speak, and directly finished what she had to say. Then she stood up and left, with a look of impatience on her face as she walked away.

  Su Mei naturally didn't miss Lin PeiPei's expression when she left, and in her eyes it became another meaning. She thought that her words had an effect on Lin PeiPei. Watching Lin PeiPei's figure disappear at the door, she picked up the teacup in front of her again, took a sip, and a triumphant smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. In her heart, she said, "You're still too tender to compete with me for a man."

  The phone call was made by Wen Jia, and when Lin Peipei arrived at the place she said, she had been standing on the side of the road waiting for a while. Lin Peipei stretched out her head to take a look at the building behind Wen Jia, the Maternal and Child Health Hospital, very strange, what did she come here for?

  Wen Jia got on the car, and they drove far away without saying a word. She was listless and curled up in the passenger seat. Lin Peipei turned her head to look at her several times, feeling anxious, what's wrong with this?

  "I say, what's with this again? You're acting like someone owes you 180,000 and won't pay back..."

  "I'm pregnant!"

  Wen Jia finally spoke up after a long time, startling Lin Pei Pei into slamming on the brakes. Fortunately, they weren't going fast and there were no cars behind them, or it would have been a disaster.

  Lin Pei Pei quickly pulled over to the side of the road, her face filled with shock.

  "What did you say?"

  "I'm... pregnant!"

  Wen Jia turned around and faced Lin Peipei, saying very seriously.

  "Then...then... hurry up and get married to your boyfriend! ... Doesn't he know?"

  "He should have guessed... He was with me this morning and just happened to leave for something."

  "Never mind if he knows or not, just hurry up and register now. Do you want to drag it on until the time comes and wear a wedding dress like a soccer ball?"

  "Sigh... If I could have gotten married earlier, I wouldn't be like this..."

  Wen Jia sighed and slumped back, continuing his decadent life.

  "What... your parents don't agree?" Lin Peipei also felt that this matter was not ordinary.

  "Hmm, they dislike his humble origins and also think his position is too low, looking down on him..."

  "Is he a colleague of yours? So you've been secretly together all along? What's going on here...? What do you plan to do?"

  "I haven't figured it out yet, I don't know how to get past my parents."

  "I'm telling you, this time I'm calling you sister, you'd better think carefully, this is a matter of life and death, you're holding two lives in your hands. One is the little sprout in your belly that hasn't taken shape yet, whether he can come out to see tomorrow's sun and grow into a towering tree all depends on your thoughts. The other one is your boyfriend, if you two don't end up together, because of this matter, your parents will definitely not let him off the hook, your brother will have to get rid of him, what chance of survival does he have? Sister, be careful, be careful!"

  "I understand what you're saying, oh... headache! Let's not scratch our heads here anymore. Tonight when we get back, let's discuss it with the kids' dad first and make him worry a bit too, right? You quickly find a place to comfort my internal organs, this heart has been racing all morning, I need to nourish myself well now that I'm at the queen level, can't take hunger."

  Lin Pei Pei looked like she quickly got into character and resumed her usual carefree self, giving Wen Jia a resentful glance for not living up to expectations. She resignedly started the car, after all, someone was now the "young mistress".

  She was pregnant and couldn't eat those heavy flavors anymore, so the two sisters found a Cantonese restaurant that specialized in private dishes and sat down. After a bowl of rich soup went down her throat, Wen Jia finally remembered to ask Lin Peipei about the road test. When Lin Peipei told her what Su Mei had said to her, her eyes widened in surprise.

  "I've seen thick-skinned people, but not as thick as this. In these times, it's really the mistress who reigns supreme! Not to mention that Qin Feng and she have nothing to do with each other, even if they did, it would be between Qin Feng and you. What is she trying to stir up by coming to find you? It's really a case of people being compared to death, goods being compared to waste. This person has become shameless to the extreme! Tomorrow, I'll set up a longevity tablet for her, with the inscription 'Ancestor of Shameless People', and burn incense for her every day, wishing her an early enlightenment!"

  Lin Pei Pei was teased by Wen Jia's poisonous tongue, and she thought to herself, at critical moments, it's still reliable to rely on her sisters, the power of sisterhood is boundless!

  "But then again, are you prepared to accept Qin Feng? Have you thought it through clearly?"

  "Not yet, there are still some small places that haven't been figured out..."

  "Then..."

  Wen Jiahua had just finished speaking when Lin Peipei's phone rang, it was Qin Feng calling to ask about the road test that morning. He said he and Lin Haotian were attending a meeting outside and neither of them would be able to return home for dinner tonight, but they would go find her after returning.

  "Alright, you come here, I just happen to have some things to talk to you about."

  Wen Jiaruo looked at the phone with a thoughtful expression, wondering whether to speak out or not. She and Lin Peipei were childhood friends who grew up together in the military compound. Wen Jiaruo was also aware of what had happened between Lin Peipei and Jin Ge back then. After that incident, Lin Peipei had confided in her about why she got drunk, and asked her to keep it a secret. Over the years, Wen Jiaruo had come to understand that Lin Peipei's feelings for Jin Ge were more than friendship but less than romance, and Jin Ge's feelings for Lin Peipei might not have crossed that line either. Moreover, he had left for over ten years, so even if he had any thoughts or feelings back then, they might have faded with time. But what if Jin Ge came back? If he was still single and didn't have a girlfriend, would he develop different feelings when he saw Lin Peipei again? How would Lin Peipei choose then?

  Wen Jia had this concern because she saw a cooperation agreement with H country on her brother's office desk, and the signature was indeed Jin Ge. At first, she thought she was overthinking, so she specifically asked a colleague in charge of the plan to confirm that it was him without a doubt. This means that recently, Jin Ge is coming to M province, Jin Ge is coming back.

  Wen Jia didn't know whether she should tell Lin Pei Pei now, her thoughts at this moment were the same as Zhao Shi Tou's when he was in the hospital and wanted to say something but hesitated. Subconsciously, everyone felt that if they told Lin Pei Pei and Qin Feng, something would happen, so because of this uncertainty, no one chose to tell Lin Pei Pei, and Lin Pei Pei didn't know that Jin Ge was coming back until he appeared in front of her.

  At night, Qin Feng finished his meeting and returned to his dormitory to wash up before going to Lin's house to find Lin Peipei.

  Lin Peipei pulled him out of the door as soon as he arrived, and her footsteps were not slow. She walked silently in front, stopped after a while, looked at Qin Feng, didn't say anything, and continued walking forward. Qin Feng followed beside her with a confused face, staring at her profile, trying to find something from her thoughtful expression, but Lin Peipei hadn't said a word since they left the door, which made him feel uneasy in his heart.

  The two of them walked in silence for a long time, almost reaching the bustling city area. At a street corner, Lin Peipei didn't even glance around and was about to cross the road when Qin Feng suddenly pulled her into his arms. Lin Peipei felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, as if her face had been pressed into a wall. Before she could react, she heard a sharp whizzing sound next to her ear, followed by a gust of wind that brushed past the back of her head. She quickly realized what had happened and broke out in cold sweat. She remembered that she was about to cross the road just now, and if Qin Feng hadn't pulled her back...
