Pei Chi lowered his head and picked up the rice faster. He didn't want to hear what Cheng Bai said at all.
Because even if Cheng Bai didn't mention him at all, he couldn't help but bring himself in.
However, after hearing Cheng Bai's words, Mrs. Pei shook her head and said with a smile: "How could it be? Mr. Cheng is being humble. You have a talented appearance and a gentle temperament. Auntie always thinks that it would be great if Chi'er could have half the advantages of you. ”
Cheng Bai said: "Auntie is joking, Pei Chi is doing well."
Pei Chi was choked again. He raised his head and glared at him again, almost asking Cheng Bai if he was disgusting in front of his family.
However, since they were mainly talking about Cheng Bai's life events, Mrs. Pei quickly brought the topic back. However, Mr. Pei misunderstood Mrs. Pei and asked Pei Yu, who was stunned at the dinner table, to pour money for Cheng Bai. cup of tea.
Pei Yu didn't think much, said "Oh", picked up the teapot and poured Cheng Bai a cup of tea.
"Speaking of which, Yu'er has known you for a long time, Cheng Bai. When you and Pei Chi were still studying in the academy, Yu'er liked to play behind you..." Mr. Pei said with a hint of eyes. He glanced at Pei Yu, who was holding a teapot in his hand with a confused look on his face.
Seeing that she was still dazed and unresponsive, Mr. Pei had no choice but to ask Cheng Bai, "Cheng Bai, what do you think of Yu'er?"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Cheng Bai could answer, Mrs. Pei and Pei Chi said in unison -
"no!"
Compared to Mrs. Pei's tactful tone, Pei Chi directly went into evil ways without thinking.
Obviously, to Pei Chi, Cheng Bai was a pervert, and Pei Chi had always loved his sister, so how could he allow Pei Yu to marry a pervert like Cheng Bai.
Pei Yu herself expressed that she was also confused. Although she didn't know why her father wanted to betroth her to Cheng Bai for no reason, she understood why Pei Chi refused, but she couldn't understand it for the moment. Didn't her mother also think highly of Cheng Bai? White? Why did you follow Pei Chi and say no
Mr. Pei, who thought he was angry with his wife, looked at Mrs. Pei in confusion. This seemed to be different from what he thought. However, Mrs. Pei did not say anything immediately. She just stretched out her hand under the dining table and gently She patted the back of his hand and asked him to stop talking.
Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Pei looked at Cheng Bai and said with some embarrassment: "Cheng Bai, don't misunderstand me. Auntie just thinks that Yu'er is too playful and not suitable for you, but I know someone who knows her." She is from a good family, the daughter of the Zhao family. She has a very good temperament. If you are willing, my aunt can arrange a meeting for you... "
However, after Mrs. Pei said this, Cheng Bai gently nodded and said: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your concern. However, Cheng Bai is used to walking alone. Dali Temple is busy with affairs at the moment. We really can't talk about this in vain, so I won't bother my uncle." Auntie took the trouble."
Pei Yu felt that Cheng Bai's words were full of loopholes. How should I put it? If Cheng Bai was really busy with work, he wouldn't have taken time to focus on his brother's case a while ago. Let's just talk about yesterday. He was obviously still in Dali. Si was busy, so she just asked someone to send a message, and Cheng Bai actually went to find her brother. Finally, she even sent someone to send him back.
So, whether you are busy or not is just an excuse, the most important thing depends on who the person is.
Anyway, Pei Yu felt that there was no doubt that Cheng Bai was really interested in his brother. It was a pity that she could see it clearly, but Pei Chi, the person involved, not only couldn't understand it, but also hated Cheng Bai as an enemy. It was really a little bit. They don't know how to repay a favor.
Mrs. Pei originally wanted to be interested in Cheng Bai on this matter, but when she heard that Cheng Bai declined her in this way, she understood what Cheng Bai meant, so she didn't talk about it anymore. Bypassed this topic.
After the meal, Mr. Pei originally wanted to stay with Cheng Bai for tea, but Cheng Bai said that he had something to do in the house and had to leave first. After hearing this, Mr. Pei did not dare to keep him.
When Cheng Bai got up, Mrs. Pei pushed Pei Chi and asked him to go out and see Cheng Bai off.
Pei Chi was simply baffled: "Won't he leave on his own?"
"What are you talking about? Go and see him off." Mrs. Pei frowned slightly. When she saw him, Pei Chi had to hold back his anger and followed someone out.
On the way out, Pei Chi had a gloomy face the whole time and did not speak to Cheng Bai. However, he felt that Cheng Bai would definitely not be able to help but talk to him. He would have warned him when the time came. But the fact was, Cheng Bai left the house and got into the carriage without even saying goodbye.
Seeing that Cheng Bai was about to leave, Pei Chi had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the initiative to speak to the man on the carriage, "Cheng Bai, I'm warning you, don't try to touch Yu'er's idea!"
Cheng Bai, who was sitting in the carriage, fell silent after hearing these words, and curled his lower lip. The curve of the corners of his mouth was shallow and light, and there was no trace of happiness, anger, sorrow or joy.
His face was expressionless and he said slowly: "Pei Chi, you don't seem to understand..."
He paused mid-sentence.
After waiting for a while, Pei Chi became impatient and asked him in a bad tone: "What don't you understand?"
Cheng Bai slowly closed his eyes and said, "It's nothing."
He said nothing more and let the coachman leave.
Pei Chi watched the carriage leave, frowned, and went back somewhat depressed.
When they returned to the courtyard, Mrs. Pei and Mr. Pei were talking about what happened at the dinner table.
"Madam, I think Yu'er and Cheng Bai are a good match. They both understand each other fairly well."
"You didn't even ask Yu'er, you just told Cheng Bai. Have you ever thought about our Yu'er's feelings?" Mrs. Pei gave Mr. Pei an unreasonable look.
Mr. Pei realized what the lady meant, and then turned to look at Pei Yu, who was still confused, "Yu'er, don't you like Cheng Bai?"
Pei Yu was thinking about how to answer, but while hesitating, Pei Chi came over and said, "Of course Yu'er won't like that guy!"
"Dad is talking about something serious with your sister. Why are you meddling in it? Are you afraid that no one will know that you have a problem with Cheng Bai?" This time it was Pei Lao's turn to be angry.
Pei Chi curled his lips and shut up when his thoughts were revealed, but he sat down and listened to them. Anyway, he firmly disagreed with Pei Yu being with that pervert Cheng Bai.
Pei Yu took a deep breath and decided to use Gu Chengxuan to block the gun. She said slowly: "Father, mother, it's just... I already have someone I like."
Mrs. Pei looked like she had known it for a long time, smiled at Pei Yu with satisfaction, and said to Mr. Pei: "Look, Yu'er already has someone in her heart. You can't talk about how Cheng Bai and Yu'er are a good match in the future." Yes, if Yu'er's sweetheart finds out, they will definitely be unhappy."
Pei Chi also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yu'er, as long as it's not Cheng Bai, I will support you. Besides, the person you like is really nice."
Pei Yu tilted her head, as if something was wrong.
