Chapter 435 - 438: Some Loves are Only Namesake [1]
These past few days, Leng Zimo went to the United States, so Xu Pei naturally didn’t have the chance to spend the "two-person world" she desired with him.
This, however, did give Xu Pei an opportunity to calm down and think things through.
The feedback coming back from the United States had given her some new insights about Luo Xiaoqian. Her talent and gift, objectively speaking, were indeed admirable.
Although ten years ago, there had been a deep and unforgettable connection between her and Leng Zimo, Xu Pei was very clear that love couldn’t be forced.
In ten years, a city could change beyond recognition, let alone a person.
If he truly fell in love with a woman who was better and more suitable for him than her, she would leave again. But Luo Xiaoqian, Xu Pei didn’t think she was the right person for Leng Zimo.
For so many years, that man had always been synonymous with miracles, and the future was indeed destined to walk hand in hand with the word miracle.
She couldn’t allow her Zimo to be ruined by such a woman.
Absolutely, not!
Reopening her computer and looking at the photo on the screen, Xu Pei propped her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
She could tell that Leng Zimo was very obsessed with Luo Xiaoqian right now, and at this time, the man wouldn’t listen to her persuasion. What should she do?!
Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.
Glancing at the somewhat familiar number on the screen, Xu Pei immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Pei girl, it’s Uncle Leng!"
From the other end of the phone, the man’s voice was full of vigor and warmth.
"Uncle Leng!" Xu Pei’s face also lit up with excitement, "I was wondering why this number seemed so familiar, is this the phone at your house?"
On the other end of the line, it was indeed Leng Zimo’s father, Leng Lin.
"That’s right. You girl, you’re back in Beijing and don’t even come to see Uncle Leng. If it weren’t for Zirui mentioning it just now, I wouldn’t have known!" Leng Lin’s tone was very affectionate.
"How could I not? I just started a new job and have been quite busy. I was thinking of visiting you this weekend," Xu Pei said.
"Starting a new job, you’re working in Beijing now?"
"Yes, I am working right now, and you would never guess. I am actually working for Zimo."
Leng Lin snorted lightly, "That entertainment company of his is a waste of your talent. Resign. Tomorrow, I’ll introduce you to a new job."
Xu Pei laughed, "Zimo’s company is about to be listed on NASDAQ soon. It’s a very influential cultural company right now, and my position is something many people are vying for."
"Ah!" Leng Lin sighed softly, "You young people... Anyway, I won’t meddle in your affairs. Come early tomorrow, and I’ll have Aunt Su make you something delicious!"
"Sure, I will be there early this weekend," Xu Pei happily promised.
Leng Lin shared similar traits with Leng Zimo; neither liked to beat around the bush. Having said what was important, he hung up the phone.
Xu Pei smiled as she put down her phone, warming at the thought of the kind elderly man who had always been very loving towards her.
Originally, her father, like Leng Lin, had also been no ordinary man. After certain special circumstances led to their family’s downfall, with her father ending up in prison and taking his own life, and her mother falling gravely ill from shock before passing away, she suddenly went from being The Spoiled Girl of Heaven to a pitiful child no one cared about.
Once, the relatives who had always fawned over her avoided her like the plague. She was so embarrassed she had nowhere to live. It was Leng Lin who took her in, and later, it was Leng Lin and Leng Zimo, among others, who helped her go abroad to study.
