Hearing this, Pei Liyan just looked at the old man indifferently, "I wonder why grandpa said this?"
Mr. Pei snorted coldly, and there was a wise light in his eyes, which was the accumulation of years after the baptism of wind and frost.
Here, Pei Yuanji and Cheng Meilan both looked back at Pei Liyan, with complex emotions in their eyes, more of doubt and confusion, mixed with a trace of anger and accusation.
It can be seen that they have been kneeling here for a while, and this time they knelt down, feeling very unjust and aggrieved.
Seeing that the old man didn't say anything, Pei Liyan said to Pei Yuanji and his wife: "Second uncle, second aunt, please get up first."
"Your grandfather didn't say anything." Pei Yuanji whispered: "We are not you, so we dare not disobey."
Mr. Pei glanced over with displeased eyes, and Pei Yuanji immediately lowered his head and knelt down.
"Grandpa, let the second uncle and his family go back first." Pei Liyan said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say, old man, let's talk about it later."
Mr. Pei then said: "Okay, you get up and go back."
Pei Yuanji and his wife got up immediately.
Pei Jibai was still kneeling.
"Ji Bai, aren't you leaving yet?" the old man said in a deep voice.
"Grandpa, three hours haven't come yet." Pei Jibai said: "I feel very strange when I kneel down, and it's even weirder when I stand up. I don't know whose advice I am listening to!"
"Pei Jibai!" Pei Yuanji immediately shouted at his son.
Pei Jibai said: "Mom and Dad, it was my son who caused you trouble today. I came to kneel because you accepted the punishment, but I knelt down unjustly. Grandma wants to take her anger out on me. I can understand it, but I want to take her anger out on you."
It’s really hard to accept.”
When Mr. Pei heard this, he glanced over with cold eyes. "Pei Jibai, you don't want to leave, do you?"
Pei Jibai was afraid of the old man's majesty, but he still said: "Yes, grandpa, I want my eldest brother to give me an explanation."
"Okay, let me explain to you." Pei Liyan said in a calm tone: "I danced with Qiao Xiang today, and it was indeed my intention."
Pei Jibai chuckled: "If you don't want to, brother, who can resist you?"
"But, I did not arrange for you to dance with Qiao Rui." Pei Liyan said solemnly: "You still decided to help grandma when you knew that she wanted to show off to Qiao Rui. This is the reason why you should kneel down.
"
Pei Jibai was stunned for a moment, then smiled sarcastically: "Brother, I don't think I'm wrong."
"You disrupted the order of the Pei family's banquet and disrupted grandma's arrangements and plans. Are you still right?"
Pei Jibai was stunned for a moment, and then insisted: "I don't think I was wrong."
"Your grandma wants to investigate Qiao Rui. Is it right for you to undermine her?" Mr. Pei said unbearably.
Pei Jibai hummed softly: "Grandpa, I was right. If you didn't ask my parents to kneel down, I wouldn't kneel here today."
"Do you want to piss me off to death?" the old man yelled angrily.
Pei Yuanji was also startled, walked forward and dragged his son up, "Let's go, don't cause trouble."
Seeing her husband swallowing his anger like this, Cheng Meilan was furious. In front of the old man, she still complained: "Dad, our Ji Bai family is filial. We are not so thoughtful, but we can't catch rabbits and eat dogs."
This kind of behavior is really unacceptable.”
"Are you dogs?" Mr. Pei asked again with a cold face.
Cheng Meilan mocked: "We are worse than dogs in the Pei family."
After saying that, she picked up Pei Jibai and left with her husband and their son.
There were only Pei Liyan and the old man in the ancestral hall. The old man also frowned and looked at Pei Liyan. "Are you satisfied?"
Pei Liyan was speechless.
Mr. Pei slapped the table angrily and said, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"I also want to ask grandpa, what are you and grandma going to do?" Pei Liyan asked.
"Your grandma just doesn't think Qiao Rui is qualified for the role of your wife."
"Isn't today's performance enough to satisfy you?" Pei Liyan said solemnly: "The Qiao Xiang you like is overshadowed here tonight. The woman who stunned the whole audience is Qiao Rui, right?"
Mr. Pei was stunned for a moment when he was asked. Indeed, the person who surprised everyone was Qiao Rui.
"So what if it's Qiao Rui? Don't you see that she doesn't understand the overall situation?"
"She should be caring about the overall situation. If we go too far, believe it or not, it will be even more embarrassing today?" Pei Liyan saw that the old man was stunned and was unwilling to explain too much. He was sure that grandpa would understand what he meant.
Mr. Pei raised his eyes and looked at Pei Liyan, with a hint of understanding in his eyes.
Pei Liyan said nothing and his eyes calmed down.
"That girl is indeed very smart. I'm afraid her life will be difficult next." Mr. Pei said solemnly: "You'd better not get involved in this matter."
Pei Liyan said: "I'm going on a business trip."
The old man was stunned.
"One week." Pei Liyan spoke again.
A glimmer of light flashed through the old man's eyes. "You did a good job on this mission and it was very timely."
Pei Liyan remained expressionless.
The old man asked again: "She is very beautiful today. You did choose a potential stock, but your grandma took it seriously and really thought you fell in love with that girl."
Pei Liyan's eyebrows were calm.
Mr. Pei's eyes fell on his face. After a long time, he said: "Tell me, grandpa, do you like that girl?"
Pei Liyan said without hesitation: "I don't like it."
Mr. Pei frowned. "Nonsense, this is a marriage!"
"Since grandpa knows it's a marriage, he shouldn't let me get married to the Qiao family. I can't make the decision on my own when it comes to marriage. Does it make any difference who I choose?" Pei Liyan's handsome face concealed a smile, but these words made him feel sad when he said them.
The smile on the old man's face froze.
"This is how you fight?"
"I don't dare." Pei Liyan said quietly: "It's getting late. Grandpa should go to bed early. I should also pack up. I have to go on a business trip early in the morning."
After he finished speaking, he walked out.
At the door, Butler Pei stood there and shouted respectfully: "Master Yan!"
"Help grandpa go back." Pei Liyan said softly.
"yes."
Butler Pei entered the ancestral hall and saw that the old man was looking outside the door in the direction where Pei Liyan was leaving, so he said: "Old man, let me take you back."
Mr. Pei gave the recorder in his hand to Pei Yi. "Go and take care of it. I'm going to see Qiao Rui tomorrow."
"yes."
That night, Qiao Rui couldn't sleep.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she could hear Pei Liyan's powerful heartbeat in her ears, which made her heart tremble a little, so she didn't fall asleep and spent the whole night making pancakes in bed.
She also despises herself for having insomnia.
I fell asleep just before dawn, but was woken up by Feng's mother early in the morning.
"Young mistress, the old man is here and wants to see you."
Qiao Rui looked at her watch, it was only six o'clock.
She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't Pei Liyan here?"
"Sir didn't come back last night."
Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment and nodded. "I know, I'll go downstairs right away."
She washed her face, didn't wear glasses, and had a fair and elegant face. She walked downstairs, and the old man was indeed downstairs.
When he saw Qiao Rui, he looked up and down and said, "Why don't you act ugly today?"
"She wasn't pretty to begin with, she just took off her glasses." Qiao Rui said, "The old man came to me to settle accounts?"
"You are quite smart."
"Then let's get started. How to deal with me? Just come over here." Qiao Rui was very direct.
The old man smiled and asked Pei Yi to take out his mobile phone and start playing.
Next, a voice came from the phone:
"Tell me, grandpa, whether you like that girl or not?"
"dislike."
"Nonsense, this is a marriage!"
"Since grandpa knows it's a marriage, he shouldn't let me marry the Qiao family. We can't make the decision on our own when it comes to marriage. Does it make any difference who we choose?"
As soon as these dialogues were played, the old man asked: "How did you feel after listening to it?"
