Seven years after my death, the male protagonist of the substitute novel was criticized

Chapter 86 She Hasn't Dreamed of You Anymore

After dinner, the four people split up and went back home.

Xu Jiayan acted like a gentleman and drove Ding Zitong home. On the way, they talked about their previous bet.

"You should start preparing to pay them now. Looking at how they acted today, we know that Lao Pei and Duan Chengyu will definitely have the upper hand. After all, they have so many more years of experience in getting along with each other."

Ding Zitong was calm and composed: "Don't jump to conclusions until the end. Haven't you heard that familiarity breeds contempt? Lin Lu now has more family affection than kinship with Pei Yizhou."

"But she allowed Lao Pei to wipe her mouth."

"She can even pay a group of people to wipe her mouth and do some cleaning work."

Xu Jiayan: “…”

After a moment of silence, he said, "Why don't you change jobs? Change jobs. Your boss will be more relieved if you leave."

Ding Zitong sneered: "I can't pay it back now. I have the obligation to keep an eye on Pei Yizhou's physical and mental health for Lin Lu. He didn't do anything messy in these seven years, all thanks to me annoying him from time to time, you know?"

"You just don't like him that much. Even more than your love rival. Tell me the truth, do you dislike Lin Lu..."

"Shut up, shut up. My friendship with Lin Lu is pure and innocent."

"I understand. You are a toxic fan. A toxic fan only breaks down when it comes to real sisters-in-law."

It was Ding Zitong's turn to be speechless.

When the car arrived at the gate of Ding Zitong's community, she didn't rush to get out of the car. Instead, she turned around and prepared to have a quarrel.

"I'm telling you, the only one who suffered in this matter of siblings becoming lovers is Lin Lu. You haven't heard what those people said about her. They clearly know that the latter is the one who suffers in a relationship between a man and a woman, but they just want to make up some victim-blaming theory, saying things like seduction, saying that they are naughty at such a young age, and even guessing whether they have been together for a long time. These words are very ugly. Whenever Lin Lu goes out, she will be talked about. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to hold on and would have kicked Pei Yizhou out long ago and lived a normal life."

Xu Jiayan was silent. He couldn't refute this.

"In addition to the gossips from her aunts and uncles, her classmates also talked about it. In the past, everyone envied her for having a good brother, and some even asked her to help deliver love letters. But after their relationship was exposed, when we went back to our alma mater, some people even went to the bathroom to see what the person who was said to be having an affair with her brother looked like."

"Of course, Lin Lu is stronger than me. Once she falls in love, she will never back down. She is not sad about these discussions, and she also thinks that Pei Yizhou must not hear them. You may not know that her father's relatives came to look for her before, blocked Pei Yizhou at the door of her house and cursed him, and she rushed forward to block them, holding Pei Yizhou's hand and saying that she just wanted to be with him."

"Pei Yizhou just lacks love! He just wants people to love him and never thought about what Lin Lu would suffer because of it. If the sister he adopted was not Lin Lu, his life would not be so easy!"

The more she talked, the more excited she became. Ding Zitong wanted to take out her cell phone and call Lin Lu immediately, urging her to find a normal person and live a normal, happy life so that she could kick Pei Yizhou away.

Xu Jiayan quickly stopped him.

"Love doesn't distinguish between good and evil, right? Now that we've gotten to this point, just let him go. How about a bet where you win? I'll give you all the money."

Ding Zitong rolled her eyes: "Who cares? It's a good thing Pei Yizhou didn't meet me."

"...Meeting you is like meeting you, a family bond that is moving and indestructible."

Ding Zitong opened the car door and got out, telling him: "Be careful when you see Lin Lu next time. She is tolerating a psychopath now. Without her, no one will pay you after Pei Yizhou dies."

"I know, I know. It's a ladder to promotion and salary increase. Go ahead."

After the others left, Xu Jiayan smoothed his stylish hair, sent a message to Lin Lu, and transferred five thousand yuan.

【Thank you for your hard work, sister. 】

Lin Lu: [? ? ? ]

【I will reimburse you.】

Lin Lu: [……]

it is more than words.

Duan Chengyu didn't return to Hai City until five days later.

The plane landed at the airport in the night, and he didn't have time to rest before being sent to Greentown Resort. There was a communication meeting for specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises at 7 o'clock.

The scenery in the villa is nice. The building in the middle where the exchange meeting is held is brightly lit, and men and women in suits of various colors are walking around and chatting.

When Duan Chengyu arrived, some people had already finished their glass of champagne.

As soon as he entered, someone introduced him to two IT company executives and discussed the system consulting business.

Everyone divided the area according to their intention. Pei Yizhou was on the other side of the hall, talking to government officials.

They had almost finished talking, and when they went over to change the wine glasses, they looked up and saw Duan Chengyu.

Even if you have only seen that face a few times, it will leave a deep impression on you because it is so annoying.

Duan Chengyu also saw him, and walked closer under the pretext of picking snacks, and greeted him politely.

"Good evening, Mr. Pei. Is Lulu home?"

The people around them looked at both sides in confusion, and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, I heard that the girl Cheng Yu dated last time was Boss Pei's sister? You guys are really quick to act. You're already getting intimate before you even start working together."

Pei Yizhou didn't acknowledge these words. He put the champagne glass he had picked up back on the waiter's tray, and the ring on his left ring finger flashed by.

"Mr. Zhang, you may be mistaken. My fiancée has never dated this Mr. Duan."

Mr. Zhang didn't know whether he should be surprised that his sister had become his fiancée, or that Duan Chengyu had a relationship with someone else's fiancée. He was blank for a moment.

His suspicious eyes swept over them quickly, and he tried to keep his expression unchanged and said, "Oh, I'm so sorry for offending that lady."

But the man just stood there and didn't move.

Duan Chengyu glanced at him without any emotion, then smiled and gestured to move forward: "Boss Zhang, Boss Pei and I have something to discuss, so I'll excuse myself for a moment."

What could they talk about?

But even though Pei Yizhou had a cold expression on his face, he still followed.

The two walked side by side through the crowd and found a corner with few people.

Duan Chengyu sat down on the leather chair, pinched his brows and sighed comfortably.

Then he extended his hand and said, "Please sit down."

"No need. It's time for me to leave as someone is waiting for me at home." Pei Yizhou said indifferently.

"Then please tell Lulu that it's too late today. I'll make an appointment with her tomorrow. The souvenir I bought for her is very beautiful. I think she will like it."

Pei Yizhou looked at him, with a smile on his annoying face.

He looked friendly and polite, but his eyes were full of provocation.

"Don't spend money. Giving her gifts from strangers is just a burden to her. I'm the only one who cleans up the boxes of these gifts at home when they're scrapped. Mr. Duan, just think of it as saving me some effort."

Duan Chengyu was about to say something in response, but Pei Yizhou suddenly changed the subject and spoke lightly but in an unusually warm tone.

"As for meeting, there's probably no need for that. She hasn't been dreaming much lately, so she has nothing to tell you."

He looked indifferent, as if he knew Lin Lu's dream very well.

The smile on Duan Chengyu's face disappeared, and his eyes turned cold: "What did you say?"

He and Lin Lu developed their relationship through dreams, so what did he mean by she hasn't been dreaming recently?
