Veils of Beiping Novel Chapter 49

Cheng Zhishen said with a smile: "As soon as the things in Nanjing are over, I will rush back. I am in such a hurry, but it is still too late. I feel like an uninvited guest."

His seat was arranged between Peter Pang and Mei Jikang.

As soon as he finished speaking, Peter Pang continued with a smile: "I am an uninvited guest in the first place."

Mei Jikang glanced at Peter Pang and saw Cheng Zhishen saying calmly: "That being said, when you come to your sister's house, it's just a drop-in. It doesn't matter if it's late or not."

"I choose to drop by uninvited when someone is entertaining me. Are you, the Cheng family, in need of a dinner?" Peter Pang's half-smiling look became more intense.

Cheng Zhishen raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Peter..."

Peter Pang smiled and said, "When we come to Jane's place, we are all guests. My dear sister... don't block my mouth with these words." He said, raising his cup, "Everyone, Mr. Cheng Jiu is here. It’s late, according to the rules, do I have to punish myself with three drinks?”

When he said this, everyone present laughed. But not too much. Peter Pang's status was special, and Cheng Zhishen's was even more so. If today's hostess Jane Cheng is added... the puzzles on the dinner table are of course one after another. They are both smart people, and they know how to smile appropriately, and they know the right amount of propriety. But because of this, the originally seemingly harmonious atmosphere became a bit ambiguous and weird.

Cheng Zhishen knew Peter Pang's temper, and the more he pushed back, the worse it would be. He immediately took the wine glass from Peter Pang and drank three glasses in a row. He wasn't a good drinker. After three drinks, his face turned red.

"General Pang." Jane said. She didn't call him Peter, but General Pang.

Peter Pang smiled at her.

Zhishen looked at Jane and smiled.

When Jane saw that the arrival of Zhi Shen had changed the situation at the dinner table, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable, but she still had to put on a smile to hide her inner uneasiness...

After the banquet was over, the guests were still chatting, so Jane asked them to leave the banquet and sit in the living room. Like any salon hostess, she skillfully takes care of every guest. This was not too difficult a task for her.

It's just that she took advantage of the time she was answering the phone to go out and stay a little longer.

On the balcony, she breathed the cool and fresh air, but she was a little greedy and didn't want to go back so soon.

"Isn't it good for you to stay out for too long?"

Jane turned around and saw Peter Pang standing there with a cigar in his mouth and pushed the sliding door of the balcony. With a crash, the sliding door retreated to the corner, and the light in the living room flooded out.

With his back to the light, Jane couldn't see his face clearly... But when he looked at her and squinted his eyes, he could only see more clearly - he was sulking. If tonight wasn't so important to her plan, she would have gotten angry at Cheng Zhishen in front of all the guests. But she endured it.

"I have to come out and take a breath." Jane didn't hide anything from Peter Pang, "I didn't expect him to come."

"I didn't expect it if the Cheng family didn't come." Old God Peter Pang said thoughtfully, "Isn't it only right that he comes to see you? You are his biological sister."

Jane shook her head.

"Do you think Cheng Zhishen today is still the Cheng Zhishen when you left?" Peter Pang smiled slightly, lit the cigarette with his fingertips in the direction of the living room, and said, "Cheng Laojiu is the God of Wealth. Now only people beg him. , he doesn’t care if he doesn’t want to see anyone’s face.”

Jane looked at Peter Pang - not only was Cheng Zhishen no longer the same Cheng Zhishen back then, but how could Peter Pang still be the same Peter Pang?
