Chapter 152: Working With a Smart Woman
Huang Yueyan’s words were not enough, but these words made Huang Yueyan have an 80% chance of working with her.
Otherwise, how would the news about the Ouyang family spread? It seemed that Huo Wanting had indeed angered Huang Yueyan. Shen Xiaoming heaved a sigh of relief and continued to speak to Huang Yueyan:
“I naturally know about the Ouyang family. Although Ouyang Yu is a member of the Ouyang family, his role is probably not as important as that of an outsider like Pei Li. The most important thing is that I want these two to be a couple to help an old friend. I’m afraid that Miss Huang has guessed it, right?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Huang Yueyan’s determined and deep eyes. This woman was so intelligent. How could she not have guessed her true intentions?
Sure enough, Huang Yueyan said, “Miss Lin went around in such a big circle just for the engagement of your friend? It seems that Miss Lin is willing to do anything for her friend. I just don’t know what Miss Lin will do if she is your enemy.”
“Hahaha, why don’t you give it a try, Miss Huang?”
“Well, I think the current relations.h.i.+p is very good. Since Miss Lin already has a plan, why don’t you choose the 15th of next month? This is a good day for the family reunion. What do you think, Miss Lin?”
“That’s even better!”
The 15th of next month was Ouyang Tang’s 75th birthday, right? This Huang Yueyan was really an instant kill. Moreover, working with a smart woman did not require too much brainpower. She could see through it easily.
Huang Yueyan had just left when Yan Kuan walked into the office from the side. Looking at the serious-looking beauty sitting in front of the office desk, Yan Kuan did not directly walk over and hug her as usual.
Instead, he sat opposite her. Just now, beside Huang Yueyan’s seat, this action stunned Shen Xiaoxiao. What was he doing?
“Director Shen? How does it feel to sit in that seat?”
Shen Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. Oh, was he waiting for her here?
Shen Xiaoxiao immediately smiled a little arrogantly and said to Yan Kuan, “It’s naturally good to be in a high position. Your territory is indeed not bad. The fox used the tiger’s power to intimidate people.”
“What do you mean by my territory? I said that if you like it, it can become your back garden at any time.”
Hearing Yan Kuan’s words, Shen Xiaoxiao was a little stunned and a little fl.u.s.tered. She avoided his eyes and stood up from her seat. As if nothing had happened, she walked around the office desk and walked in front of Yan Kuan. She took the initiative to block his neck and sit in his arms. She said to him, “I still feel that this seat is more comfortable.”
Yan Kuan was stunned by her answer. In the blink of an eye, he hugged her slender waist and held her in his embrace. The two of them crossed their necks and hugged each other. He immediately understood that she had avoided his gaze once again.
This woman was always unwilling to believe him. What could he do to make this woman truly open her heart? This difficult problem was much more troublesome than all the difficult problems he had encountered…
…
“Ah Xi, Second Young Master, over here!”
Pei Xi saw the butler waiting outside the airport as soon as he left the airport. When he looked again, he saw that even his biased father had come. It seemed that his aunt was right. This Pei Li must have done something to anger his father and grandfather. Otherwise, would his father personally call him to return to the country?
He had graduated from a university abroad for a year. He worked for his aunt in the overseas office. Other than calling to greet him during the New Year, his father had never taken the initiative to contact him.
After graduating for a year, he did not ask him anything and was suddenly called back. His grandfather’s birthday was still almost a month away.
“Uncle Cheng, your old body is still as strong as ever!”
Pei Cheng watched the Second Young Master walk out of the airport. At first glance, he really looked like the old master when he was young. As the most loyal butler of Old Master Pei, there was nothing that he did not know about what had happened at home recently.
Even if Pei Tianheng avoided Pei Dongguo, he would not avoid Pei Cheng.
Therefore, when he saw that Pei Xi had come out, he was really happy. The fact that he had come to pick up Pei Xi showed that Pei Tianheng valued him. Furthermore, Pei Cheng understood that if nothing unexpected happened, the Second Young Master would be the true heir of the Pei family. As for the other… As long as the paternity test report was out, the Old Master and the Young Master would take care of it.
“Ah Xi is getting taller and taller. You look more and more like your grandfather when he was young.”
Hearing the old butler’s words, Pei Xi was even more surprised. In the past, this old man treated him well, but he would never say such words because everyone in the family knew that his mother, Ouyang Minyan, disliked Pei Xi the most. She even said many times that Pei Xi did not look like her and did not inherit any of the characteristics of the Ouyang family.
Now that he heard the old butler’s words, a strange thought emerged in Pei Xi’s heart. Could it be related to his mother?
His mother had always been arrogant and domineering, relying on the fact that she was from the Ouyang family. She was extremely biased towards her eldest son. If his aunt had not said that he was really Ouyang Minyan’s biological son… She would have suspected that he was adopted from outside.
Ouyang Minyan’s bias was never concealed. If they both scored 100 points, Pei Li and Pei Meimei would receive her praise and encouragement and gifts, but when it was Pei Xi’s turn, she would only say:
“Don’t be arrogant, don’t be complacent. Your brothers and sisters often score 100 points, but I don’t see them showing off like this.”
If he had a fever, would his mother only let the servants take him to the hospital to see him? Dream on.
Not to mention that he had been sent to M Country to live with his aunt the moment he graduated from junior high school.
“Uncle Cheng, look at what you’re saying. I’ve lost weight. I look taller now that I’ve lost weight. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten the food at home. I’m going to throw up from eating those junk food from abroad.”
“Since you’re not used to eating those from abroad, don’t go out. Stay in the country from now on. Your aunt will come back next week after dealing with the matters there. You won’t be leaving from now on. Your Grandfather is also old. He misses you!”
“Son.”
Hearing Pei Tianheng’s sudden words, Pei Xi was stunned for a few seconds before he called out.
However, it was obvious that Pei Xi had no idea how to interact with this Pei Tianheng who had suddenly started to exude strong fatherly love.
He even looked at Pei Cheng for help a few times. This naturally fell into Pei Tianheng’s eyes, and he became even more resentful towards Ouyang Minyan.
A good child, a good father-son relations.h.i.+p, actually looked so strange. This was really a sin.
But fortunately, it was not too late. He and his sister had a very good relations.h.i.+p. When the time came, his sister would mediate, and Ah Xi would definitely renew the father-son relations.h.i.+p with him.
Before getting into the car, Pei Tianheng reached out and patted Pei Xi’s head with a loving look, which made Pei Xi even more confused. After Pei Xi got into the car, Pei Tianheng quietly put a few strands of hair in his hand into Pei Cheng’s hands. The earlier the paternity test came out, the better!
