Everyone Loves Pei Jiyu

CHAPTER 16 - Waking Up From A Dream

I told him, "Meng SiQi, I've decided to undergo treatment."

He looked at me wide-eyed with surprise, "Really?"

I nodded, "Really."

Weak and naive by nature, I was eager to rely on others and desire love. That's why being abandoned by others had made me forsake myself.

These days of feeling sorry for myself allowed me to finally understand that love does not come from others' "charity". If that person does not love you naturally, being sad is useless.

There are still so many people in the world waiting to meet me. There would be someone who would feel the same way that I do.

So, I should learn to forget.

Before going through a thorough examination, I wanted to see my father first.

Calling Lu QingFan, I said, "Lu QingFan, it's me."

"Where have you been! Why did you leave without saying a word! Why did He Li show up at your apartment? " As soon as he opened his mouth, he started interrogating me. "Are you planning to vanish in front of me for another four years?!"

He had met He Li?

I frowned, feeling ominous.

Copying him, I said coldly, "Lu QingFan, calm down, it's not as if I'm dead."

He, on the other side of the phone call, abruptly fell silent.

Self-aware of his loss of control, he finally calmed down after the series of questions.

He asked, "What did you call me for?"

I hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to say, "I want to see Father so I hope you can arrange it."

"Why did you change your mind?" He returned to his mild tone of speaking, "I thought that you would never return to the family home in this lifetime."

"Although I am an unfilial son, he is my father." I said, "I still have a little bit of humanity left."

Lu QingFan muttered to himself, seeming unable to make up his mind.

"Father doesn't wish to see me?" In my heart, I knew that my father's stubbornness would not soften despite his closely approaching death.

He replied, "Come to my office tomorrow and I'll arrange it."

"Thank you," I said.

When I arrived, Lu QingFan happened to be signing a contract in the conference room.

The receptionist ushered me to the reception room to wait before gently closing the door and leaving. I was the only one there in that huge space.

The floor was covered with soft carpet and as I sat on the leather sofa, I nearly fell asleep.

After sitting there for about half an hour, I almost thought that Lu QingFan was deliberately tricking me so I couldn't help but push the door to go out. Coincidentally, at this time, around ten or more people exited the elevator, headed by Lu QingFan who was shaking hands with another person.

I stilled for a moment.

How could it be so coincidental? That man was He Li.

Seeming to feel a gaze, He Li gently turned his head. The instance our gazes met, I couldn't help but take a step backward.

Even as he looked at me, his smiling expression did not fade.

Following He Li's gaze, Lu QingFan saw me.
