He admired Feng Nan's gentleness when she lowered her head, but he loved her even more when she raised her head, proud and confident.
Pei Yi shook his dizzy head, and those old events that had affected him for a long time seemed to be gradually thrown out of his mind as he shook his head.
He didn't think about the chubby hands when he was young that only knew how to play with cloth, nor did he think about Feng Nan's every frown and smile.
"Do I want anything?"
He murmured to himself, and then he began to laugh softly:
"Grandpa, do you know what I'm thinking now?"
Mr. Pei was already a little drunk when he heard him talking. Although the wine was strong, Pei Yi was not the kind of person who would get drunk after just one drink.
"Before I came back, I sent Sese home. I opened the car door for her and watched her get out." Mr. Pei did not interrupt his narration. He just picked up the bottle and slowly filled the glass in his hand to seven-tenths full. He seemed to be unaware and continued to talk to himself:
"Watch her walk out of my range." He stretched out one arm and gestured, "Watch her back, watch her get into the elevator."
Pei Yi raised his head, his eyes were a little red, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"I just want her to turn her head and look at me more."
His words were obviously beyond Mr. Pei's expectations. He was even stunned and paused for a while to put down the bottle. Pei Yi did not say what the person he liked looked like, nor did he say what his requirements for his future partner were and what his choice was. He clearly had a chance, but he was still stubborn.
"These are what I want."
"You are useless." Old Master Pei narrowed his eyes and scolded him, "Are you sure? You used to chase Feng Nan and pester him. When he said he liked France, you rushed to serve the manor and land." He frowned and scolded his grandson: "I thought you were serious for a few years, but in the end, you gave up and found someone else after you bought the house."
He paced back and forth in the study for a few steps, then sat back on the sofa:
"Marriage is a serious matter, I won't allow you to treat it as a joke. Ah Yi, a man should be responsible." He pointed at Pei Yi, "I don't want you to regret it in the future. The Pei family will be handed over to you in the future. Your attitude represents the attitude of the Pei family. If you can't handle family affairs well, how can you handle other things?"
"I think it through clearly, Grandpa, please rest assured."
Pei Yi took the cup and drank the wine in it. The wine was like a raging fire, burning from the tip of his tongue and flowing down his throat. He paused for a long time:
"I understand why Grandpa invited me to drink this glass of wine and spoke these words to me."
Back then, Zhang Yiping came with a bottle of wine to persuade him to marry the daughter of the Wen family. He accepted the bottle of wine and agreed to it after careful consideration.
Now, Mr. Pei took out this bottle of wine that had been sealed for many years, and deliberately opened this commemorative bottle of wine at this time, and said these words to him, which were very meaningful.
But Mr. Pei didn't understand. His worries were unnecessary. He didn't change. It was fate that was naughty. It was like a child who liked to play jokes on people. It "hid" Feng Nan into Jiang Se's body to give the two of them a legitimate opportunity so that both sides could face up to their own feelings.
It was not easy for Jiang Se to accept him. Just as Mr. Pei said, he had been fearless since he was a child, but at that time he didn't even have the courage to confess his love to Feng Nan. He liked Jiang Se very much and didn't want to see her sad.
"I understand your concerns, Grandpa. Please rest assured." He raised his head and looked directly at Grandpa Pei.
"I know my choice, and I don't like to have other cumbersome things around me."
Old Master Pei naturally understood that he was referring to Chen Minshu. He frowned and said lightly, "He is useless."
A woman who made him tell her all this.
"She's the daughter of my father's comrade-in-arms, so I'm telling you first."
As soon as he said this, Mr. Pei's eyes softened, but his face was still stern: "You are still like when you were little. You made your father angry and you came to trouble me."
Although he said this, Pei Yi could hear that Mr. Pei's tone had softened.
This bottle of wine has been opened, and the conversation between the grandfather and grandson tonight seemed to have eliminated many of the barriers caused by Pei Yi's growth.
Outside the study door, Old Mrs. Pei, wearing her clothes, looked at the grandparents and grandchildren drinking together under the light through the open door, and could not help but revealing a faint smile.
Pei Yi suddenly came back tonight. When the servant came to inform her, she was worried that Grandpa Pei would be angry and that there would be a conflict between the grandfather and grandson, so she quickly put on her clothes and came over to take a look.
But men have their own way of solving problems.
Mr. Pei is old and in poor health. He has been suffering from the damage to his health by now. He is still drinking with Pei Yi. Although the atmosphere is good and he is happy, the old man still needs to pay attention to his health.
She quietly retreated back to her room, told the servants to prepare tea to cleanse the stomach, and also asked someone to prepare some soup so that Pei Yi could fill his stomach later.
Old Mrs. Pei thought of what she had heard at the door of the study room, thought of Chen Minshu who had recently been a guest at the Pei family, and thought of Jiang Se, whom her grandson liked very much. At this point, should she discuss with Old Mr. Pei and ask Pei Yi to bring the girl back home to see her
Pei Yi didn't call again that night after he returned home. After Jiang Se returned home and washed up, he called Xia Chaoqun before going to bed to talk about work.
Her photo with Donald was forwarded on Donald's social platform that evening, and the news was reposted by Givenchy brand Weibo, which caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry.
Givenchy's move is obviously no small matter, and it is intended to show that Jiang Se is cooperating with the brand.
The biggest benefit of doing this is that it greatly increases Jiang Se's bargaining chips, making her more confident when she attends the banquet hosted by Ms. Federer a few days later, and increasing her chances of gaining Ms. Federer's attention.
After finishing the call with Xia Chaoqun, Jiang Se called Mo Anqi's cell phone again. Her cell phone was always on the go. Jiang Se called again after a while, but still couldn't get through. He guessed that the media must have gotten wind of the news and were calling Mo Anqi to inquire.
Pei Yi still hadn't called. She read the script of "A Glimmer of Hope" for a while, memorized the lines silently for a while, and then turned off the light and went to sleep.
To attend a party hosted by Ms. Federer, you need to wear an appropriate dress.
At this point, in order to appear serious about this gathering, it takes some thought.
Jiang Se's family has many dresses sent by manufacturers, but most of these dresses are from affordable luxury brands. For Ms. Federer, they seem a little too casual and easily give her the impression that Jiang Se does not take this date seriously.
It was too late to order a custom dress, and the dress that could be purchased on short notice could not show Jiang Se's specialness. (To be continued)
