Chapter 190 Stepping over 3 steps
April 3rd.
The two returned to the capital city just as catkins and flowers were blooming.
After getting off the plane, Lu Qi was thinking all the way, but she still couldn't figure out who Pei Yao wanted to meet.
Last time, she lived in Beijing for five years, but this time, everything seemed new and unknown to her.
She had collected information long ago, but when she really arrived in the huge city of Beijing, she still kept her eyes wide open in the car, looking around.
They came back without saying hello to anyone in advance, and even their family members didn't know they were back.
The person who came to pick him up was Pei Yao’s new driver, Xiao Li.
He seemed to be the only one who knew they were back.
The car passed the airport expressway, but did not enter the city. It turned onto the outer ring road and arrived at Babaoshan.
Lu Qi seemed to understand who Pei Yao was going to take her to see.
Sure enough, the car entered the garden and stopped at a special cemetery.
Qingming Festival is coming soon, and there are many people coming to visit the graves, but there are not many people in this special cemetery.
Xiao Li followed behind with the tools for tomb sweeping. Pei Yao pulled Lu Qi up a very high mountain. It was really the best feng shui.
Noticing that Lu Qi paused for a moment, pausing to look at the rows of tombs at the foot of the mountain, Pei Yao consoled him, "It's daytime now, nothing will escape."
I know, he was talking about ghosts.
Lu Qi raised his eyes and smiled, then shook his head: "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of it. But, there's no evil here, right? They are all people that others think about day and night, and they are also blessing the living."
Lu Qi paused, looking up at the cemetery above, and added, "Just like your parents, Ayao, they must have been blessing you all along, so no matter how dangerous the situation, you will be able to turn danger into safety."
Pei Yao smiled faintly. She had always believed this.
It was indeed possible. His parents were blessing him, so no matter how many times he was in a desperate situation, he would be able to survive.
But she revealed herself, and she was also protecting her.
Every time I passed a temple, I would pray for his safety and climb all three thousand steps.
Arriving in front of a joint tomb, Xiao Li filled a basin with clean water. Lu Qi, without being asked, took a handkerchief to clean the tombstone, and watched Pei Yao loosening the soil and planting new flowers.
In fact, as far as the consumption here is concerned, someone cleans the place regularly every time, so there is no need for relatives to do it again.
But doing it yourself is always different.
Lu Qi put the wiped handkerchief into the basin held by Xiao Li and rubbed it. The people in front of the tomb were very quiet, as if they were saying something silently to their parents.
Lu Qi asked Xiao Li, "Didn't Lieutenant General Pei die in the line of duty? Why isn't he on the side of the martyrs?"
You see, this is just a private place. The high funeral expenses are not paid by the government, and the lease needs to be renewed every twenty years.
Xiao Li replied, "It's probably because of my wife. She's a commoner and can't be buried in public grounds. The lieutenant general was worried that she would be scared if she went there alone, so he left a will requesting that they be buried in a common ground, in a shared tomb..."
Of course, there is also a saying: "If the lady has someone else after he leaves and does not want to sleep with him, then it is up to the lady."
Perhaps when Pei Yao's father left this last will and testament, he had no idea that Madam Pei would pass away soon after him.
The relationship between the two is hard to describe.
Lu Qi smiled, looking at the two people on the tombstone with emotion: "Is this the case for all descendants of the Pei family?"
Xiao Li didn't understand Lu Qi's sigh. He cleaned up the basin, took out a few incense sticks and handed them to Lu Qi.
Taking the incense, Lu Qi walked back to the tomb.
Look carefully at the two photos above.
Mrs. Pei is very beautiful, elegant and gentle, yet full of charm. Pei Yao's appearance is mostly inherited from her.
Lieutenant General Pei is cold and serious, with sharp edges.
When they died, they were probably not much older than Pei Yao is now, and died at the most successful and dazzling age.
Pei Yao took the incense from Lu Qi and was not in a hurry.
He pulled Lu Qi over and said to the two people on the tombstone, "Father, mother, let me introduce you. This is Lu Qi..."
Before he could finish, Lu Qi added, "Your daughter-in-law."
Maybe it was an illusion because of the bright sunshine today, but Lu Qi always felt that the person in the photo seemed to be smiling.
The two people outside also laughed.
After introducing himself to the people inside, Xiao Li consciously stood fifty meters away.
This little Li is more honest than Chen Ang, but he learns quickly and doesn't talk too much about things that he shouldn't.
Pei Yao told his parents the whole truth about Lu Qi in front of the grave.
Finally, I lit incense.
Pei Yao climbed the first three pillars, and when Lu Qi climbed the last three pillars, he pushed Pei Yao aside.
Lu Qi walked to the mat and knelt down, burning incense while chatting with the two of them.
"Two elders...if you don't mind, I'll call you mom and dad. I don't have any parents, and you're the first relatives I know besides A Yao. I have something in my heart that I want to tell you."
"I'm sorry for possessing your son for ten years, and I'll keep him for another seventy. I'm also sorry for not being able to give your family an heir. I'm a selfish person, and I don't care about the prosperity of my family."
"Once I make the decision, I won't be the one to give up unless he does."
She talked a lot one after another, and Pei Yao watched her talking for half an hour from a distance.
Xiao Li accompanied Pei Yaohou silently.
After a long time, they finally finished talking. The incense in the altar burned brighter and brighter, and then Lu Qi and Pei Yao went down the mountain.
When we entered the city, it was the evening rush hour.
Pei Yao asked Lu Qi where he wanted to go, and provided two directions for someone who seemed to be visiting for the first time.
One is the top floor of Tianyu’s headquarters. Even if neither of them is there anymore, it is still Lu Qi’s private property.
After Pei Yao informed the family members behind the Pei family, someone wanted to touch Lu Qi's assets.
However, although Lu Qi's identity was questionable, every penny she earned was clean, so there was no reason to ban her.
So, the 79th floor is still there.
Another place is Pei Yao’s private residence, Xiyuan Villa on the Third Ring Road.
Lu Qi leaned on his shoulder and thought for a moment: "Let's go to your place."
Although she had gotten almost all the information about her five years at Tianyu from Yan Yang, it was still unfamiliar.
Besides, it had only been a few months since Pei Yao detained Tianyu’s people in Los Angeles.
It was a bit embarrassing to go there.
I resumed contact with Lin Zixuan some time ago. From Lin Zixuan's tone, she seemed to have developed a post-traumatic phobia towards Pei Yao. She trembled whenever she heard Pei Yao's name. If she met him, she would be scared to death.
Pei Yao smiled and rubbed her shoulders: "Okay."
Come to think of it, Lu Qi has never been to his own house.
When she was in Tianyu, she really didn't care much about him. She really thought that if he didn't go home every night, he was staying in another paradise.
The car drove into the villa area with only a few households but tight security. At first glance, it looked very similar to the modern and technological style of Dubai.
As soon as the car arrived at the door, the lights on the outer wall of the villa suddenly lit up.
