After entering the book, the young cannon fodder brought his short-lived mother to fly happily

Chapter 215 Just Looks Similar

Immersed in his own thoughts, Pei Mingqiu heard someone talking outside the door.

That was Fang Fu's voice: "What do you want?"

A female voice was soft and gentle: "Brother, thank you for saving my life! Is Master Pei here?"

Fang Fu naturally recognized Zhao Susu and Meng Yu. He said, "Wait a moment. The young master may be busy. I'll ask first."

Afterwards, he came to the door and asked softly, "Master, are these the little girl and her mother whom I met on the road before? Master, would you like to meet them?"

Pei Mingqiu opened the door: "Come in!"

At this time, Zhao Susu was wearing a light blue crepe shirt, her face was plain, and her hair was tied up in a bun, telling everyone that she was a woman.

There is gentleness and sharpness in her eyes and eyebrows.

In the past, her eyebrows and eyes could only be considered pretty, because there was always a sense of timidity and cowardice in her eyebrows and eyes. Now they can be considered exquisite. Aura has a great influence on a person.

Of course, Zhao Susu herself did not realize this.

She smiled lightly, gratitude hidden in her eyes, bowed, and said sincerely: "I am sorry for disturbing you by coming here. Thank you for saving my life!"

Pei Mingqiu bowed and returned the greeting, his tone very gentle: "Young lady, there is no need to be polite. It's just a small favor for us just by chance." As he said that, he glanced at Meng Yu.

Meng Yu smiled sweetly: "Thank you uncle for saving my mother!"

Pei Mingqiu: “…”

It seems that the child doesn't want her mother to know what happened at that time, so he has to take the credit.

Zhao Susu: "I have prepared some small gifts to express my gratitude. Please accept them, sir."

"Don't be polite, young lady. It's just a trivial matter!"

"It's a small matter for Mr. Yu, but it's three lives for me."

Zhao Susu turned around and Luo Song immediately handed her the gift.

She added: "But it's just some food and clothing. I'm sure you'll need them when you're out and about!"

Those things were placed on the table, filling up the small table.

Zhao Susu took out the small box from her sleeve again and handed it over with both hands.

The gift handed over so solemnly must be silver or something valuable. Pei Mingqiu felt ashamed to accept it, and hurriedly declined: "I will accept the food and clothing, but I don't need this!"

Meng Yu said, "Uncle, there are things in there that you can use!"

Pei Mingqiu shook his head: "Even if I don't come, the young lady will be fine. You must not accept this gift."

He was telling the truth, but Zhao Susu didn't know the details. Even if she knew, she would still be grateful, because after all, she didn't know the outcome when Pei Mingqiu took action.

Meng Yu added, "Uncle, please accept it. It's not worth much. If you don't accept it, my mother will always feel bad and she will be unhappy."

Zhao Susu also nodded repeatedly: "Please accept it, sir!"

It was hard to refuse such a kind invitation. Pei Mingqiu thought that what the girl said was something he could use, so it was probably some banknotes. The box was not big, so there shouldn't be much in it. He would just accept it and let the girl feel at ease.

Taking the small box, he said, "Thank you!"

When he made eye contact with Zhao Susu, his eyes deepened slightly, then he avoided her gaze. When his eyes looked at Meng Yu, there was a restrained tenderness in the depths of his eyes.

There were some things he still needed to verify, but not now.

Now he is responsible for the lives of more people, so he must be careful at every step and cautious at every turn, not allowing himself to make any mistakes.

Some things are better not to know.

After giving the gift and expressing gratitude, Zhao Susu said goodbye.

Meng Yu said softly, "Mom, can I stay and play for a while?"

Zhao Susu was unwilling in her heart. A robbery had made her timid. Now she wished that Meng Yu would always be under her nose. She was worried that A Yu would be in danger.

"Ayu, the master must be busy with something, it's not appropriate for you to stay and play!"

Pei Mingqiu immediately responded: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm free now!"

Zhao Susu: “…”

She had more trust in the general in the army, and he was the one who saved her and was very capable, so A Yu should be safe here.

She said, "Okay, but not for too long. Don't delay the young master's business. I'll let Luo Song stay."

"No, who will drive the car when mother returns?"

"Then let Luo Liu stay?"

"No need, mother, let Luo Liu stay with you. I have little loach!"

Pei Mingqiu also said: "If the young lady is worried, I will send someone to send her back!"

When Zhao Susu heard the three words "little loach", she felt relieved. After hearing Pei Mingqiu's words, she said nothing more. She just told Meng Yu to go back early and left.

Pei Mingqiu looked at the delicate little girl and couldn't help but smile: "Do you have something to say to me?"

Meng Yu said: "Actually, I don't have much to say, I just want to ask, how did you deal with those two bad guys?"

Pei Mingqiu paused and said, "Don't worry, they won't come to hurt you again!"

Meng Yu knew, of course, so she asked again, "Uncle, why do you always stare at my mother?"

Pei Mingqiu paused, almost choking on his own saliva. This child's words were too jumpy. Also, her words were very ambiguous.

He quickly said, "I didn't, did I?"

"Yes, you always looked at her secretly when we were in Jiazhou, and you also looked at me secretly! Today you looked at her secretly four times again!"

Pei Mingqiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he smiled calmly: "I thought your mother looked a bit like an old friend of mine, so I took a closer look at her. I didn't expect that you would notice her."

"Then is my mother your old friend?"

"Probably not!" Pei Mingqiu smiled, but there was still some loneliness in the depths of his eyes: "They just look a little bit similar. Your mother is straightforward, gentle, tough, and experienced. Women who can support a business are all strong-hearted. Although I don't know my old friend very well, she is a little cowardly, not as good as your mother."

Meng Yu nodded and said, "So that's why you peeked at my mother. I understand now!"

Pei Mingqiu found it funny. Children really speak without restraint. If other people heard what he said, wouldn’t they think he was a pervert?

He asked inexplicably, "That day your mother gave you barbecue, and your father was very unhappy. Didn't that cause them to quarrel?"

"My father? Where do I get a father?" Meng Yu was greatly surprised: "Are you talking about Brother Yang? He, he is not my father, he is my mother's business partner."

Pei Mingqiu was also stunned. The look he saw in Yang Zuoxian's eyes that day was clearly directed at that young lady...

Meng Yu smiled softly again, squinting her eyes and said, "But Brother Yang really wants to marry my mother. He even invited a matchmaker to come to our house, but my mother refused. My mother said that she only wants to do business well and raise me well, and she doesn't want anything else!"

"What about your father?"

Meng Yu thought for a moment and said, "I originally had a father, but he was not a good man. He always bullied my mother and took away all the money in the family and eloped with someone else. My mother was bullied and had a hard life. Later, my mother started a business and was able to have enough food to eat."
