Chapter 401
PEI Yi shook his slightly dazed head. The past that had affected him for a long time seemed to be gradually thrown out of his mind as he shook it.
He did not think about the pair of chubby hands that only knew how to make ‘cloth’ when he was young, nor did he think about Feng Nan’s every frown and smile.
“What do I want?”
He mumbled to himself, and as he spoke, he laughed softly.
“Grandpa, do you know what I’m thinking about right now?”
Old master PEI was already a little tipsy when he heard PEI Yi’s words. Although the bottle of wine was strong, PEI Yi was not someone who would get drunk easily without touching a single drop.
“Before I came back, I sent Sese home. I opened the car door for her and watched her get off.” Old master PEI did not interrupt him. Instead, he picked up the wine bottle and slowly filled his glass to 70% full. He seemed to be unaware of it and continued to talk to himself.
“I’ll watch her walk out of my range.” He opened an arm and made a gesture. look at her back. Look at her entering the elevator.
PEI Yi raised his head. His eyes were slightly red, but he smiled.
“I just want her to turn around and look at me.”
His words were clearly out of old master PEI’s expectations. He was stunned and stopped putting down the wine bottle. PEI Yi did not mention how the person he liked looked like, nor did he mention his requirements for his future partner or his own choice. He clearly had a chance, but he was dead set on it.
“This is what I want.”
“Good-for-nothing.” Old master PEI narrowed his eyes and chided him, ” have you really thought it through? In the past, she used to chase after Feng Nan and pester him relentlessly. When he said that he liked France, he would rush to serve the manor and land.” Frowning, he lectured his grandson. you’ve been doing this for a few years. I thought you were serious. In the end, you gave up on the house and changed people after you bought it.
He paced back and forth in the study before sitting back down on the sofa.
“I won’t allow you to treat marriage as a game. Ah Yi, a man should be responsible.” Pointing at PEI Yi, he said, “I don’t want you to go back on your word in the future. The PEI family will be handed over to you in the future. Your attitude will represent the PEI family’s attitude. If you can’t even handle your own family matters, how can you talk about handling other matters?”
I’ve thought it through, Grandpa. Don’t worry.
PEI Yi picked up the glass and downed the wine in one gulp. The wine burned on the tip of his tongue like a raging fire and flowed down his throat. After a long while, he said, ”
“I understand why Grandpa invited me to drink this glass of wine and said these words to me.”
Back then, Zhang Yiping had come to persuade him to marry the daughter of the Wen family with a bottle of wine. He had accepted the bottle of wine and agreed to it after careful consideration.
Now, old master PEI had taken out this bottle of wine that had been sealed for many years, opened it on purpose, and said these words to him. It was a meaningful thing.
However, old master PEI did not understand that his worries were unnecessary. He had not changed. The only thing that was mischievous was fate. It was like a child who liked to joke with others. It ‘hid’ Feng Nan into Jiang SE’s body and gave the two of them a chance to be justified so that they could face their own feelings.
It was not easy for Jiang se to accept him. Just as old master PEI had said, he had never been afraid of anything since he was young. Back then, he did not even have the courage to confess to Feng Nan. He liked Jiang se very much and could not bear to see her sad.
I understand grandpa’s worries. Don’t worry. As he said this, he raised his head and looked straight at old master PEI.
“I’m clear about my choice, and I don’t like to have other troublesome things around me.”
Old master PEI naturally understood that he was referring to Chen minshu. He frowned and said casually, ” “Good-for-nothing.”
A woman had even made him tell her this.
“She’s the daughter of father’s comrade, so I’m telling you in advance.”
As soon as he said this, old master PEI’s gaze softened, but he still kept a straight face. “You’re still the same as when you were young. You only know how to cause trouble for me after making your father angry.”
Although he said that, PEI Yi could hear that old master PEI’s tone had softened.
The bottle of wine had already been opened, and the conversation between the grandfather and grandson tonight seemed to have dispelled many of the barriers that PEI Yi had brought about due to his growth.
Outside the study room, old lady PEI had her clothes draped over her shoulders. Separated by the open door, she looked at the grandfather and grandson drinking under the light and could not help but reveal a faint smile.
When the servant came to inform her of PEI Yi’s sudden return, she was worried that old master PEI would get angry and that a conflict would break out between the two of them. Hence, she hurriedly put on her clothes and came over to take a look.
However, men had their own ways of solving problems.
Old master PEI was getting on in years and his health was deteriorating. He had endured all this time and was already hurting his health. He was still drinking with PEI Yi. Although the atmosphere was good and he was happy, he still had to take care of his health.
She sneaked back into the room and instructed the servants to prepare some tea to clear his stomach. She also asked them to prepare some soup so that PEI Yi would have something to eat later.
Old lady PEI recalled what she had heard at the entrance of the study room. She recalled Chen minshu, who had been a guest at the PEI residence recently. Then, she recalled Jiang se, whom her grandson liked very much. At this point, should she discuss with old master PEI and ask PEI Yi to bring that girl back home to have a look?
PEI Yi did not call her again that night after he returned home. Jiang se went home and washed up. Before she went to bed, she called Xia Chaoqun to talk about work.
The photo of her and dunade was reposted on dunade’s social media platform that night. The news was reposted by the Givenchy Weibo and caused a stir in the entertainment industry.
Givenchy’s actions were obviously not a trivial matter. They had the intention to let Jiang se cooperate with the brand.
The greatest benefit of doing so was that it greatly increased Jiang SE’s bargaining chips. She would be more confident when she attended the banquet organized by Madam fedarer a few days later. It would also increase the chance for her to be valued by Madam fedarer.
After ending the call with Xia Chaoqun, Jiang se called mo Anqi’s phone. Her phone was always on the line. After a while, Jiang se tried calling again, but the call still did not go through. She guessed that the media must have caught wind of the news and were calling mo Anqi to ask about it.
PEI Yi still did not call her. She read the script of ‘a chance of survival’ for a while, memorized her lines, and then turned off the light to sleep.
To attend the party organized by lady fedarer, one had to wear a suitable dress.
At this point, in order to show how serious they were about this gathering, they needed to put in some effort.
Jiang SE’s family had many gowns sent over by manufacturers. However, most of them were from luxury brands. To Madam fedarer, they were not too formal. It would easily give her the impression that Jiang se did not value this date much.
It was already too late to order a gown. The gown that could be purchased at the last minute would not reveal Jiang SE’s uniqueness.
