Chapter 998 When Hua Grew Old (Extra Story About Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling’s Previous Life)

Pei Ziheng is old.

92 years old, even among the richest people in the world, it is considered a long life, which is very enviable.

His eyes are still bright, and he is as sharp as an eagle when looking at people, and his teeth are also good. Even if he bites his favorite medium-rare steak, it doesn't take much effort. But he knew that the internal organs of the body were failing one after another. His family doctor told him every year during his physical examination, Mr. Pei, you must take good care of yourself. At this age, every day of life is a gift from God. You must cherish it. .

He walks regularly, plays golf, follows his doctor's orders, and wants to live longer.

Because he can't die yet.

His mission was not over yet. The girl he loved was still alive in this world. He had sworn to protect her for the rest of his life. How could he die in front of her?

——The girl he loves is called Xia Ling.

She said she was a girl, but in fact she was already 72 years old, she had already become a gray-haired old lady, and Anxian was kind when she smiled. However, in Pei Ziheng's heart, she is still the twelve-year-old girl she was when they first met her. She is innocent and bright, understands nothing, and has no awareness of the dangers and malice of the world.

He said that what he wanted to protect her for the rest of his life was for the rest of his life.

Even though she was already married and had children and grandchildren.

Even if she is still happy with another man now.

Pei Ziheng would drink some black coffee every morning, read the newspaper, and see the name of the man she married - Li Lei in the pages of global economic trends or international news. Li Lei in the photo is also white-haired and energetic. He always looks calm and pointing out the country with a smile. He looks healthy and has a good tooth, as if he wants to compete with him to see who can live longer.

Pei Ziheng was always depressed.

He is 92 years old this year and Li Lei is 80 years old. There is a full age gap between the two. Unless he can live 12 years longer than Li Lei, sooner or later, he will be ahead of Li Lei. Thinking of this, he seriously bit off a piece of bread, and prayed to God to bless Li Lei and die in a car accident tomorrow.

However, Li Lei didn't have an accident, but he did.

On this day, while playing golf, he suddenly tilted his body and fell to the ground without warning.

The accompanying staff rushed him to the hospital, but it was too late. He suffered a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Although he was rescued in time, he was already half-paralyzed. When the doctor told him that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, he stared at the sky outside the window for a long time, silent.

He began to work on his own business.

The deployment of the deployment, the inheritance of the inheritance, the making of the will.

The sudden paralysis made him realize the fragility of life. Perhaps, before he completely turned into a bad old man who couldn't take care of himself, he had to do something as soon as possible.

He sent a messenger to deliver a message to the Li family overseas, hoping to meet Xia Ling.

When the messenger arrived, it was a spring evening. The old lady with silver hair was sitting on a wicker chair in the back garden, pruning a camellia in full bloom. When she heard Pei Ziheng's invitation, she was slightly startled and said as if to the messenger or to herself: "I haven't seen him for many years."

Since she moved overseas, they can count on one hand the number of times they've seen each other. As she grew older and had more children and grandchildren, she slowly sealed some old memories in her heart, almost to the point of dying without contact.

Why is it so sudden this time?

The messenger said respectfully to the matron of the Li family: "You probably know that the chairman suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage a few days ago. After being rescued, he probably got nostalgic."

When people get old, they will miss the old days.

Especially for people like Pei Ziheng who never married, countless people speculated whether he could never forget the only woman he had ever been married to - Ye Xingling, also known as Xia Ling.

Xia Ling looked at the red camellias in front of her and lowered her eyes slightly. After a long time, she said, "Okay."

With a click of the scissors, a camellia flower as big as a bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

The messenger was overjoyed, thank you so much.

She put down the scissors, stood up slowly, carefully flicked off the petals on her clothes, and went to find Li Lei with the help of the servant. "I was watching the news a few days ago and heard that he was paralyzed," she said softly to her lifelong husband. "I always feel uneasy in my heart. I feel..."

She didn't go on.

Li Lei understood what she meant. Pei Ziheng was already at this age and had an unexpected accident. She was worried that one day, before she had time to say goodbye, that man would pass away forever.

He looked at his wife: "Go if you want, remember to bring more clothes and take good care of yourself." The three of them have reached this age, and the excitement of their youth has long since turned into calm. So what if they meet once? On the contrary, if we don't see him, we may regret it for the rest of his life when heaven and man are separated forever.

Xia Ling looked at him gratefully and gave him a long hug.

Without packing any luggage, he hurriedly followed the courier to fly back to China and went to Pei's house. To be precise, it was the villa she had decorated with her own hands when she was a girl and where she and Pei Ziheng lived together for many years.

"Why are you still living here?" She stood in front of the villa and asked the messenger reproachfully, "Don't the Pei family have so many big houses and hot spring resorts? This villa is so small, it can only accommodate a few doctors and several doctors. Servant? He is so old, what should he do if something goes wrong? "

Why didn't the messenger understand? Smiling bitterly: "The chairman must live here and won't listen to anyone's advice. You know his temper. How can you waver in something that you are sure of? But..." He looked at Xia Ling carefully, "Maybe you Go and try to persuade him, maybe he will listen."

Xia Ling pursed her lips lightly and walked into the villa with a serious expression.

Pei Ziheng had long known that she was coming, so he specially ordered someone to clean up a tea room. He was wearing a recently customized high-end smoky gray handmade suit, and his silver-gray hair was meticulously combed. Although he was already paralyzed, he still ordered someone to move him to the sofa, sitting upright with his back straight, as if everything was fine, as if the sudden paralysis had never happened.

The servant was very worried: "Sir, with your current physical strength, you won't be able to sit in this position for long."

Pei Ziheng insisted on going his own way. The reason why he couldn't wait to see her was because he wanted to leave a good impression on her while he could still control himself and before he completely turned into a bad old man.

He watched her step into the tea room, looking at her gently and elegantly just like he had done decades ago: "Xiao Ling, you are here."
