Chapter 723: Her Pei Huai
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At that moment, Su Ji’s mind was in a state of shock.
The dream last night was not a dream, but a prophecy.
Pei Huai’s bloodshot eyes flashed through her mind. She could not breathe and lost control when she held the steering wheel.
She knew what was going to happen…
After hearing Zhou Zicheng’s words that day, she had a premonition. She was completely unprepared, but when this moment really came, she felt that it was too fast.
In fact, she was not prepared at all.
What would happen to her mother after she left? Would her father be able to deal with her?
Would Dr. Wang expose Bian Tong? Would her Si Jingchuan be able to woo Xu
Pei Yuanyang and Stinky didn’t need her to worry.
However, she had yet to see the premiere of the Qingqiu Tactics.
She had heard that the computer special effects of the full fox form were amazing, and she was really looking forward to it.
She had never tasted what it was like to dine in a restaurant on the 177th floor. She had seen the small square box in Pei Huai’s pocket this morning, but she might never know what was inside.
Just like now, she did not know if she would return to the past or disappear from the world.
Thinking back to her previous life, although she died an unnatural death, she left calmly. She guarded her tomb of gold and silver mountains without any worries.
However, she couldn’t do it at this moment. She had many regrets, and what she couldn’t let go of the most… was Pei Huai.
How much of Pei Huai from last night could she remember?
She would probably remember it for the rest of her life.
She asked Pei Huai to mourn for her for three years after she left. Would he do
Judging from his expression at that time, it seemed that he would not.
This moment was too fast. She didn’t even have time to say goodbye.
At this moment, she missed him more than ever and wanted to see him again.
She had left him a present but had forgotten to tell him. She wondered if he would find out.
The car suddenly stopped working. With a loud noise, the metal collided violently, and the rusty railings cracked. The huge impact caused her body to lean back and then forward. Her forehead hit the windshield, and the glass shattered in a spider pattern. The car rushed out of the railing.
There was no blood.
The endless sea was dead silent at night. The dark blue seawater seemed to be able to devour everything.
That scene was magnified in her beautiful eyes, and she completely lost consciousness.
All the cars in the vicinity stopped, and the originally calm bridge instantly became chaotic.
They watched helplessly as the fence was broken, and the sparks that came out were more shocking than the fireworks. The only sports car of its kind in the world flew out of the fence, and after a few seconds of stopping…with a thud, it rushed straight into the sea!
Five minutes later than expected, Pei Huai still did not see Su Ji.
He looked out the window.
Normally, at this height and distance, he wouldn’t be able to see anything clearly.
However, he saw at a glance that the brightly-lit bridge was crowded with people, and the red and blue lights of the police cars were flashing rapidly.
There was a traffic accident there.
In the main city of the Z-Sea, on average, nine people die in traffic accidents every day, and Pei Huai happened to see this one.
The strong premonition made his heart ache.
He suddenly stood up, and the sound of the violin stopped abruptly. His slender legs hit the dining table and shook it. He quickly took out his phone and dialed Su Ji’s number.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
The second time.
The third time.
The result was the same.
The manager of the restaurant prepared everything and pushed out the exquisite cake cart prepared for the proposal, ready to show it to the distinguished customer.
He only saw the swaying candlesticks on the dining table and the door that was still opening and closing.
That night, half of the people in the main city knew that there was a serious car accident on the bridge.
It was unknown who had been hit, but teams of police cars drove over. Both ends of the bridge were blocked, and the search and rescue boats lit up the entire sea.
All the bodyguards who stayed in the palace were also mobilized. Several private jets flew from China to the Z-Sea overnight.
The scene that Su Ji saw finally happened. The inspector in charge of the traffic accident stood a few meters away from Pei Huai, hesitating for a long time but not daring to step forward.
No one dared to step forward, let alone talk to him.
All they could do was keep searching.
The damaged car was fished out. The front of the car was beyond recognition, but Su Ji was not inside.
Pei Huai fell into a state of self-seclusion.
He could barely remain calm.
His bloodshot eyes dyed the crescent moon in the sky red. If he could not find Su Ji tonight, he did not know what terrible things he would do.
At the same time, in A City.
In a high-class restaurant that also had a high-level view, Ji Xi and Pei Shizhan sat opposite each other by the window.
Ji Xi had just come down from the set without any makeup.
Her hair was loosely tied up at the back of her neck, and there were strands of hair on her cheeks. Her smile was quiet and beautiful.
Today’s filming had been tiring for her, so she heaved a sigh of relief. Pei Shizhan ordered a few vegetarian dishes. They were all relatively light, and they didn’t eat much at night.
“This time…how long can you stay?” Ji Xi asked him without much hope and her tone was calm.
Pei Shizhan heated the sterilized tableware one by one. “I’m going back tonight.’
After half a minute of silence, Ji Xi smiled. “Tonight then.”
“I want to drink some wine. Drink with me before you leave, okay?”
Pei Shizhan looked at her. “Okay.”
After drinking, Ji Xi felt relaxed and became interested in the music from the piano.
She walked over with a glass of wine. The pianist smiled and nodded, politely making way for her.
Pei Shizhan received a business call at this moment. “Try it. I’ll go outside to pick it up.”
Ji Xi sat in front of the piano and smiled at him. “I’ll practice. When you come back, I’ll play for you.”
Pei Shizhan picked up the phone on the way out of the restaurant.
He walked out of the restaurant and stopped. The phone call was about the daily affairs of the Pei family overseas and was quickly finished.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Du. The restaurant is booked by this gentleman today…”
The waiter’s respectful voice sounded behind him. Pei Shizhan subconsciously turned around, and Du Meilan happened to see him.
Du Meilan was wearing an orthodox silver-white suit with high heels and a bag of the same color on her arm.
It was not exaggerated at all, but her sophistication shone through.
She was soft as snow on the inside and domineering like a queen on the outside.
Du Meilan’s expression froze for a moment, then she smiled like she saw an old friend.
“I just came back yesterday, so I’m going back tonight.” Pei Shizhan asked, “do you have a social gathering tonight?”
Du Meilan smiled mysteriously. “I originally wanted to do it here, but since you beat me to it, I had to change the location.” Pei Shizhan nodded apologetically.
At this moment, Du Meilan’s phone rang.
She thought it was about the meeting tonight, but when she saw the number, she frowned.
“The butler of the Imperial Palace?”
