Chapter 161: Sore Legs
Pei Li tidied up his clothes and listened to his mother, Ouyang Minyan’s, nagging. Today was his grandfather’s 75th birthday, and his grandfather had always liked him more. He wasn’t afraid that Pei Xi would do anything. Mainly because his aunt, Pei Tianai, he had always had a strong sixth sense. He always felt that his father’s change wasn’t just because of his aunt’s return. He was more afraid that his father would find out about Ouyang Minyan and Liu Qianmin. If that happened… His inheritance rights would be in danger.
Therefore, whether it was for himself or for his mother, he had other plans to borrow his grandfather’s birthday party tonight. His younger brother, Pei Xi, would probably blame him.
After so many years, his relations.h.i.+p with Pei Xi was indeed not close. At most, he would hand over the overseas company to his younger brother, Pei Xi. However, no one could get their hands on anything related to the Pei family in the country. That was his, and it could only be his.
Thinking of Liu Yufei, who had been getting more and more intimate with him recently, Pei Li’s eyes flashed with determination. Liu Yufei would definitely not be able to marry him. He could play around with her, but when a woman married him, she had to be a clean person.
Now, it seemed that it was not bad for Liu Yufei to be paired with his good younger brother, Pei Xi. Their ages were not that different. Moreover, although Pei Xi was not as handsome as him, he had a burly figure and a strong physique. He was more like his father and grandfather.
Pei Li thought that he did not mistreat Liu Yufei and his brother. It was not bad to make them a couple.
As for himself, that Miss Lin Weiwei was not bad. She stood behind KN Group. No matter what relations.h.i.+p she had with KN Group, he believed that she would be willing to use the t.i.tle of president for him. This Lin Weiwei was definitely worth investing in more than Liu Yufei.
Moreover, he had taken a fancy to Lin Weiwei in the beginning. At that time, he had thought that it was just for fun because that girl was really interesting. However, the girl’s methods and style at the last mother’s banquet were more suitable for the style of the mistress of the family.
In addition, although the business that their family wanted to negotiate with the KN Group was temporarily put on hold because of Ouyang Minyan… He never doubted his own advantages. It was difficult to hook up with such a girl, but it was not completely impossible.
If he could be with Lin Weiwei, then the Pei family would only be on the same level. This was a very good deal. Therefore, even if he did not see Lin Weiwei several times, he was not worried. This time, he personally sent someone to deliver the birthday invitation. He believed that as long as one wanted to gain a foothold in the capital’s upper-cla.s.s society, there would be no one who wouldn’t attend the Ouyang family’s banquet.
So now, he would sit and wait for her to deliver herself to his door. As for how he would plan this later, he had already planned it out.
For a Ouyang family’s banquet, different people had different thoughts. Of course, Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t know how other people would plan it.
At this moment, she looked at the clothes in the closet and was not interested at all. She turned her head to look at the person who was sitting at the head of the bed, dressed in home clothes. She was extremely displeased.
“If you don’t like them, I’ll get someone to send another batch over. Your mouth is so pouty that you can hang an oil barrel on it.”
Shen Xiaoxiao ignored him. The clothes in the closet almost covered all the fas.h.i.+onable styles of the season, and these gowns were all custom-made. There was no need for them at all. The reason why she was not interested was because Yan Kuan was not preparing to go at the moment.
Of course, Yan Kuan knew what Shen Xiaoxiao was worried about. However, he found it funny and cute when he saw this girl’s small eyes and vague expressions of wanting to say something.
Of course, he would go back to attend the Ouyang family’s banquet. After being separated for 20 years, he also wanted to see if the people of the Ouyang family would still recognize him when he stood in front of them. Would they still remember the things that they deliberately erased back then?
“Aiya, my leg is sore. I can’t even change my clothes when I think about it. It seems that this banquet is going to be…”
Yan Kuan deliberately moaned as he carefully observed Shen Xiaoxiao’s expression. As expected, the people standing in the closet had long p.r.i.c.ked up their ears to listen to his words. Now that they heard his words, look at her small face. Everything was written on it. She was really too innocent.
“Is your leg sore? Come, let me rub it for you. If you rub it, it won’t be sore anymore. If it’s not sore anymore, we can go out, right?”
Yan Kuan sat on the bed calmly. Looking at her attentive little appearance, his eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at her small hands and said, “It’s not this leg.”
Shen Xiaoxiao saw that she had rubbed it wrongly and hurriedly changed her leg. This small hand was like a tickle. Yan Kuan suddenly felt that he had brought this upon himself. Look at that disappointing little brother of his… Looking at the person who was only wearing a nightgown and jumping around in front of him, Yan Kuan said:
“It’s not this leg either.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. There were only two legs. How could there be one more? Was he playing with her, or was he doing it on purpose?
Shen Xiaoxiao did not want to raise her head and wanted to go up against him. But just as she raised her head, she realized that there really was a third leg. This beast, this beast, was ready to jump away, but she was not as fast as Yan Kuan. He pulled her into his arms.
…
At the end of the story, the big bad wolf pounced on the little wolf cub. When they arrived at the banquet, other than the Ouyang family, the large banquet hall was already packed with people.
Shen Xiaoxiao was suitable for red because red was flamboyant, red was gorgeous, and red was b.l.o.o.d.y.
However, today was his birthday. If she wore red, it would attract too much attention. Tonight, she was fully prepared to do something big. She would not ruin her plan for such a small matter.
She wore a modified red satin cheongsam. Her fair and bare neck could be seen and she had already tied her hair up into a bun. She wore her favorite emerald hairpin and an emerald bracelet on her hand. She was rich and beautiful.
Yan Kuan wore his usual black suit. Tonight, he seemed to have specially dressed up. He looked more forceful and cold.
It was only then that Shen Xiaoxiao realized that she had been deceived. This person had actually changed his mind about attending the banquet a long time ago. Only she was stupid enough to remain in the valley.
Yan Kuan looked at the fair little hand that was holding his hand. It was smooth and fair. Other than the thin calluses on her palm, his results these days had been pretty good. It was just that this hand was a little too monotonous.
Yan Kuan stopped in his tracks and turned around to lead his people into the study. He did not avoid opening the pa.s.sword box and took out a box from the box.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the ancient ebony box. What was it? It was placed so mysteriously.
“Put it on.”
