After a tragic death and rebirth, the iceberg president turned crazy

Chapter 273: Setting an Example for Our Children

The moonlight shone finely, falling on Lin Man's fair cheek. The surroundings were so quiet that it seemed as if only the sound of breathing was left. She tightened her clothes. She had said everything she needed to say. She hoped Pei Yan could think it through and stop wasting his time on her.

Lin Man turned to leave, but her wrist suddenly tightened. Pei Yan had been silent until now, almost making Lin Man forget his existence. "Anything else?"

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan in confusion. His dark and sharp eyes were fixed on Lin Man. His deep voice seemed to contain deep meaning. He asked, "Who won't let you go?"

Lin Man was speechless. "Nothing." She answered perfunctorily. She didn't understand why the topic had come back to this. But Lin Man had no interest in talking to Pei Yan anymore.

The wind at night was very cold, she tightened her clothes, Pei Yan took off his coat and put it on Lin Man, but did not let her go, as if he insisted on asking, the familiar smell of tobacco mint inhaled into the nose, Lin Man subconsciously wanted to take off the coat, but was held down by Pei Yan, "Put it on, and who did you just say would not let you go? Lin Man, don't try to fool me, I should have never hurt you, right?

"Who are those people you are talking about?" This question seemed to have always troubled Pei Yan. He had checked, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Lin Man was annoyed by Pei Yan's noise, so she wrapped herself in her coat and walked down the mountain. "Are you satisfied?"

Her answer was perfunctory, but Pei Yan did not ask any more questions. "Lin Man, people should look forward. If you always hold on to the past, you will have no future."

He pulled off a leaf from the tree, and with the force, other leaves fell together. A pile of dead leaves fell on Lin Man's hair. Lin Man looked at her newly washed hair and couldn't help but stop and turned back to say, "You have a promising future, so what are you doing now? Aren't you still holding on to the people in the past?"

"Well, I have no future, so you have to be successful and set a good example for our children in the future." Pei Yan admitted generously.

Lin Man was shocked by Pei Yan's shamelessness. "Give up on this idea. Even if I can't have children in this lifetime, I won't give birth to a child for you."

Pei Yan's face suddenly turned gloomy. "I'll take you back."

"I can walk by myself, you should go and see Cheng Jiajia off."

It’s not that Lin Man is too virginal, but they came here together after all. If something happens to Cheng Jiajia, won’t Cheng’s father find trouble with Pei Yan, but he can also find trouble with her?

"Someone will send her back." Pei Yan said.

Lin Man nodded. Since someone volunteered to be the driver, she did not refuse. Pei Yan kept his word and really sent her home and left without causing any trouble.

The next morning, Lin Man had just woken up when Xiaojun called her.

"Manman! Did you know? The newly opened amusement park in Hai City is going to close!" Xiaojun cried, and his tone seemed to carry endless regret.

Lin Man rubbed her eyes and woke up from her sleepiness when she heard Xiaojun's voice.

Of course she knew, and she was present at the time, witnessing Pei Yan's sudden nervous breakdown. "I know, what's the matter? Didn't you say that you are not satisfied with the internal construction of the park and want to revise it and rebuild it again?"

"No way! The amusement park officials announced that the amusement park will no longer be built and will be restored to its former villa area! So sad, I bought the ticket yesterday and wanted to go, but I was afraid that there would be too many people on the first day and I wouldn't be able to play any of the projects, so I thought about going today. As a result, the amusement park announced today that I can no longer play there."

Listening to Xiaojun's crying voice, Lin Man felt helpless. If she had known that Xiaojun wanted to play so much, she would have asked her to come yesterday. "Don't be sad. Return the ticket first. We can go somewhere else to play later."

"You're the best, Manman!"

Xiaojun's emotions came and went quickly. After hanging up the phone, Lin Man got up and started to make breakfast. She took out her cell phone and looked at it. Pei Yan's words seemed to still echo in her ears.

If you don't like it, we will build the Yuanshan Villa back.

Lin Man suddenly lost interest in having breakfast. Pei Yan could build or demolish it, but she just couldn't bear it because of her.

Sky Harbor.

Lin Man looked at the contract in her hand. She didn't expect that the money to save Ji's family was invested by the Cheng family. However, the agreed time had come, but Cheng's father had not come yet.

Lin Man couldn't help feeling a little worried, so she called Cheng's house and learned that Cheng's father was in the hospital. Although Lin Man was not familiar with Cheng's father, the two families still had cooperation after all. Lin Man still brought a fruit basket to the hospital to visit Cheng's father, and by the way, she hurried to sign the contract and get the money quickly to avoid any further complications.

But as soon as she got out of the elevator, she saw Pei Yan in a ward, and Gan Tian was lying on the bed with a pale face. There were many people standing in the room, and the doctor was checking her heart rate. It seemed that Gan Tian was sent in a hurry, and even the VIP ward was not prepared in time, so she could only stay in an ordinary ward facing the elevator entrance.

Seeing Pei Yan's figure, Lin Man's heart was calm. She just thought that Pei Yan had demolished the amusement park because it stimulated Gan Tian's heart rate. She felt fortunate that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Lin Man was about to leave, but Gan Tian happened to see her because she was being helped up to take medicine, "Man Man!"

Her voice was clear, but still sounded weak. "Why are you here? I've already explained to everyone that my injury has nothing to do with you. I didn't expect you to still come."

She coughed twice.

Lin Man stopped and looked at Gan Tian, ​​who seemed to be about to say something but hesitated. "I didn't expect that even though you are so seriously ill, you still have the habit of throwing dirty water on others."

Lin Man didn't want to pay attention to Gan Tian. She could say anything she wanted without evidence. Lin Man was about to leave, but Jiang Xuzhi heard her voice and walked out of the ward. Seeing Lin Man, he was slightly surprised. "Why are you standing outside?" He asked someone to bring a stool for Lin Man. "Come in and sit down."

Lin Man was about to say no, but saw Cheng Jiajia and Cheng's father were also inside, so she stopped talking and walked in with her bag. Pei Yan was standing on the balcony smoking, and when she saw Lin Man come in, his dark eyes were fixed on her.

Gan Tian smiled and said, "Man Man, I'm very happy that you can come. Why are you still taking things?" Gan Tian was about to take the fruit basket from Lin Man's hand, but Lin Man dodged her arm and said, "It's not for you."

Her words made Gan Tian pause, "Man Man, you are still so humorous."

"You are still so noisy." Lin Man sat in the seat prepared by Jiang Xuzhi, paying attention to Cheng's father's movements, but did not want to chat more with Gan Tian.

The room suddenly became quiet. Ever since Lin Man walked in, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She felt as if two pairs of eyes were staring at her, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

Gan Tian gritted her teeth, then smiled and looked at Pei Yan and said, "A Yan, can you help me peel an apple?"

Pei Yan threw away the cigarette in his hand and stomped it out. "You can eat the apple directly."

The air seemed to suddenly freeze.

But Gan Tian seemed to be unable to sense Pei Yan's indifference. "No, apple peel is hard to digest. Although I only have a problem with my heart rate, the doctor just told me to be more careful about other aspects."

Pei Yan glanced at Gan Tian, ​​put his coat on the chair, walked towards her, and took an apple from the fruit plate. Suddenly, Cheng Jiajia was pushed by Cheng's father, "You are so tactless. Hurry up and help Miss Gan peel an apple. If you hadn't taken Miss Gan to play those exciting things, would Miss Gan have been hospitalized? Hurry up and apologize!"

Cheng Jiajia grumbled, "I'm sorry, Miss Gan, it's all my fault. I apologize."

Father Cheng asked again, "Have you apologized to Mr. Jiang? You caused her sister to be hospitalized, and Mr. Jiang rushed back from Italy in the middle of the night yesterday! I'll deal with you when I get back."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang." Cheng Jiajia's face fell and she apologized to Jiang Xuzhi again. After that, she started to peel an apple for Gan Tian. She pressed down the corners of her lips and looked reluctant.

Lin Man listened without showing any expression, but was slightly surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that with Cheng's father's status in Hai City, he would actually come to apologize in person and take responsibility for this mistake that had nothing to do with Cheng Jiajia. In addition to being shocked by Jiang Xuzhi's emphasis on Gan Tian, ​​she was also shocked by the depth of the strength hidden behind Jiang Xuzhi.

Lin Man listened disjointedly until the sun was about to set before Cheng's father left. When he left, Lin Man followed him out. After hearing what Lin Man came for, Cheng's father was slightly startled, "I was negligent and forgot to inform you about the change of time."

"No, it's great that you're willing to help."

After signing his name, Father Cheng chuckled, "Although I am responsible for this matter, it is not my decision. Whether to cooperate or not depends on the opinions of the higher-ups. Miss Lin, you don't have to thank me."

After Cheng's father left, Lin Man stood there in a daze. Was it Pei Yan who helped her?

Lin Man shook her head and was about to leave when Jiang Xuzhi's voice rang out from behind her. He was very tall and instantly enveloped all the light around her when he stood in front of Lin Man. "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Lin Man stepped back inconspicuously and said, "Don't bother me. I have a lot of places to go."

"It's no trouble, or are you afraid of what I might do to you and don't dare to ride in my car?"

Jiang Xuzhi's words were very blunt. If she was penniless in the past, it would be fine, but now she has two companies behind her and she doesn't want to offend Jiang Xuzhi.

"Really, no need, because..."

"Because she wants to ride in my car." Pei Yan walked out of the ward.

Jiang Xuzhi's eyebrows moved slightly, but Pei Yan didn't even look at him. Instead, he looked at Lin Man and smiled softly, "Is that so? You want to go with me."

Lin Man felt her forehead twitch when she heard Pei Yan's voice, "Yes."

Lin Man chuckled, "Boss Jiang, goodbye."

She turned around and left without looking back, her steps were extremely fast, but when she turned around, she found Pei Yan was still following her. Pei Yan saw Lin Man's expression and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I'll get lost?"

Lin Man stared at Pei Yan without saying a word, and walked in the opposite direction of him. However, she had not taken two steps when her wrist was suddenly grabbed. "Where are you going? My car is over here."

Lin Man smiled wryly, "Boss Pei is very busy, so I'd better not bother you."

She turned to leave, but her wrist tightened, "Lin Man, if you dare to cross the river and destroy the bridge, don't leave."

"Let's go! If you like being a driver so much, who can stop you?"

In the underground parking lot, Pei Yan stood in front of a black Maybach and took the initiative to open the door for Lin Man. Lin Man looked at Pei Yan's abnormal behavior and said, "Boss Pei, have you ever heard that when a man takes the initiative to open the car door for a woman, there are only two possibilities."

Pei Yan looked at Lin Man with dark eyes, but did not respond.

Seeing that he didn't ask, Lin Man took the initiative to say: "Either the car is new, or the woman is new."

After Lin Man finished speaking, she quickly got into the car. Pei Yan's face darkened and he closed the door. "Lin Man, you have the nerve to say that the car is new. You bumped and smashed the two headlights in front once, and they can't be fixed."

Lin Man didn't say anything until the car stopped. She unbuckled the safety buckle and said, "What's wrong if it can't be repaired? It was you who insisted on driving it for me." After that, she quickly closed the car door and ran into Ji's.

Pei Yan watched Lin Man's movements until her figure disappeared, then he curled his lips with a smile. This woman was not so afraid of him now.

Lin Man handed the contract signed by Cheng's father to Ji's people, looked at the pile of documents on the conference table, sat down at the desk expressionlessly and started to look through them. Cheng's father's capital injection made Ji's situation better, but it was only a temporary solution. After so long, Lin Man's level had improved visibly, and even at the conference table, those old guys couldn't get any benefit from her.

Sure enough, diligence can make up for lack of talent.

It was not until the phone rang that Lin Man looked up and stretched her sore wrists, only to find that it was already dark outside. On this day last year, she was still trying hard to bring Pei Yan and Gan Tian together, hoping that Pei Yan could be with Gan Tian as soon as possible, and then give her some money so that she could leave tactfully. Unexpectedly, in just one year, everything had changed.

But Pei Yan treated her differently.

Lin Man looked at the call from Pei Yan and didn't want to answer it, but she was afraid that he would go crazy. After thinking for a moment, Lin Man still answered the phone, "What do you want from me?"

Her tone was a little tired, and Pei Yan keenly noticed, "Where are you?"

"Just tell me what's the matter. I still have some work to do." Lin Man yawned.

After finishing the activity, Pei Yan sat down to look at the documents again. He frowned but said confidently, "Are you still in the company?"

His tone was a little heavy, "Wait for me, I'll come to you." After saying that, Pei Yan hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Man to speak.

Listening to the beeping sound, Lin Man was too lazy to ask in detail. She turned on the computer to organize Ji's annual plan, thinking about possible cooperation partners.

When Pei Yan got off the elevator, he saw Lin Man sitting in front of the computer, writing the annual report herself. "Mr. Pei..." The receptionist wanted to speak, but Pei Yan reached out to stop her.

At this moment, Pei Yan's eyes were focused on Lin Man. The soft light shone on her face, allowing people to see the fatigue beneath her fair skin. There was a halo under her eyes and her lips were slightly dry.

Lin Man's slender fingers tapped on the keyboard, her eyes focused. The transparent reflective glass made the contents of her computer visible. Pei Yan's eyes showed a slight surprise, and the last time she showed this expression to Lin Man was at the casting banquet of Alluring World.
