âNot at all.â Pei Youâan instantly became tactful. âBrother, your personality is especially good. After all, your personality can even win over Sister-in-law. How can it be bad, right?â
Although the words sounded smooth, how could Pei Jingzhou not tell that these words were more insinuating than before?
Pei Jingzhou glanced at Pei Youâan and smirked coldly. âYoung brat.â
At this moment, Youyouâs cries had become much softer. But her small shoulders were still twitching. It was obvious that she hadnât been throwing a tantrum. She had really been crying her heart out. The bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat.
Li Xiwu carefully brushed the bangs off Youyouâs forehead.
Youyou rubbed against her and was about to come to Li Xiwu when she reached out. âHug~â
Li Xiwu took Youyou and hugged her. The tears on Youyouâs face had yet to dry, so she rubbed some on Pei Jingzhouâs collar. Now that she was in Li Xiwuâs arms, she rubbed some on Li Xiwuâs thin velvet high collar, but there were no obvious traces.
Li Xiwu coaxed her gently, âIf Youyou believes that there are Ultraman in this world, there must be. Your thoughts have to be firm and not be shaken.
Youyou was shaken just now.â
Youyou whined in Li Xiwuâs arms. âThen has Mom seen Ultraman?
Li Xiwu smiled faintly. âMom has never seen it before. Because Momâs thoughts are not firm enough, I canât see Ultraman. As long as Youyouâs thoughts are firm and not shaken, you will definitely see Ultraman one day.â Youyou propped up her head and asked with a serious expression, âReally?â
Li Xiwu replied, âOf course.â
It was a white lie. A child whose faith had been shattered would not easily be interested in many things in the future as they grew up. If she continued to maintain this faith and gradually grew up, she could easily accept the fact that there were no Ultraman in this world. She could also maintain her passionate faith forever.
Youyou immediately smiled, and her eyes curved into crescents. Li Xiwu knew that Youyouâs mood had been cured. She asked gently, âDo you still want to play with Little Uncle?â
Youyou nodded. âYes.â
Pei Youâan widened his eyes in shock and quickly gave her a thumbs up. âSister-in-law, youâre too awesome. Youyou isnât angry with me just because of a few words.â
Li Xiwu exuded a motherly glow from head to toe, and her expression and tone were especially gentle âActually, I havenât completely figured out Youyouâs personality, but thereâs one thing. Itâs easy to communicate with Youyou. As long as you communicate with her seriously, she can listen to all the words and logic.â
When Pei Youâan heard this, he said firmly, âYouyou must take after you on this point.â
Li Xiwu smiled and asked, âWhy do you think so?â
Pei Youâan glanced at Pei Jingzhou. âBecause my brother didnât give me a chance to communicate with him at all. Heâs as dictatorial as my father.â
âAhem!â Pei Qingji coughed lightly and reminded Pei Youâan, âIâm still here.â
Pei Youâan smiled awkwardly and quickly shut his mouth. He was afraid that if he said anything else, he would not be able to escape that beating tonight.
It was almost nine oâclock, but Han Qianye had no intention of leaving.
Pei Qingji reminded her several times. Han Qianye pretended not to hear it at first, but seeing that it was getting later and later, she was afraid that she would delay her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughterâs rest.
Li Xiwu had the intention to keep Han Qianye. The house in Lake Lu was very big, and there were several guest rooms. It was not a problem to stay there.
Han Qianye almost agreed, but she was still rational. If she stayed here, she would definitely want to chat with Li Xiwu. She had no choice. The moment she saw Li Xiwu, her mouth and hands could not stop moving.
Pei Youâan would only return to school tomorrow afternoon, so he asked, âDad, Mom, can I stay here for the night when you go back?â
Pei Qingji said, âNo.â
Han Qianye said, âDid you hear what your father said? No.â
Pei Youâan turned to beg Pei Jingzhou with a fawning expression. âBrother, can
I stay here for the night?â
Pei Jingzhou smiled. âObviouslyâ¦â
Pei Youâanâs eyes were filled with anticipation.
Pei Jingzhou said, âObviously not.â
The anticipation on Pei Youâanâs face instantly turned into frustration. âDonât tell me youâre holding a grudge just because I made Youyou cry just now.â
Pei Jingzhou said, âYouâre always so carefree. You donât have the stability of an adult at all. When do you think itâs appropriate for me to arrange for you to enter the company?
âEnter the company? No way. Itâs too early. I havenât graduated from high school.â Pei Youâanâs head hurt when he heard that he was going to enter the company. His thoughts were the same as Pei Jiaoâs. He liked freedom. It was enough to have his brother in the company. He didnât want to get involved at all.
Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways at Pei Youâan. âNine years of compulsory education. The journey is long and the mission is heavy. Which year did you miss?
Pei Youâan:
Pei Jingzhou reminded him, âYouâre used to the current stability, but youâve never thought of maintaining it. Itâs true that Iâm your brother, but managing the Pei family is not just my business. The blood of the Pei family runs in your veins, so you have to protect the Pei family.â
The principles came as it pleased. Pei Youâan was not mentally prepared to comprehend it.
Pei Youâan said, âBrotherâ¦
Pei Jingzhou said, âWhat do you take me for? The Pei familyâs sky?â
Pei Youâanâs tone was a little self-righteous. âDad handed the company to you and the Pei familyâs power to you. Youâre the Pei familyâs sky now.â
Pei Jingzhou sneered. âThe burden of the Pei family is not on you. You donât feel pressured, so you naturally yearn for freedom. I donât need you to mature immediately, but you have to remember that no one can support you forever.â Pei Youâan pursed his lips and fell silent.
At this moment, the two brothers were together. It was rare for Pei Jingzhou to talk so much. Other aristocratic families fought openly and secretly, and brothers fought. Pei Jingzhou and Pei Youâan were respectful towards each other. Such a relationship was rare in a tycoonâs family. However, as time passed, Pei Youâanâs personality easily deteriorated because he enjoyed peace too much.
Pei Jingzhou sighed. âPei Youâan, you have to be glad that you were born in the Pei family.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Pei Youâanâs eyes were clear and stupid. âHuh?â
The clear stupidity in Pei Youâanâs eyes was too obvious. It was difficult for Pei Jingzhou to ignore it. âIf you were in the He family, no one would know where you would die now.â
Pei Youâan shuddered when he heard this.
Although he didnât pay much attention, his friends of the same age were all in the circle of aristocratic families, so he had naturally heard a little about them. His peers, or those who were a few years older, had already started fighting for the family assets at the age of fifteen or sixteen. In order to fight for the family assets and the inheritance rights, it wasnât unusual for someone to suddenly disappear one day. It would only be an accident when they found out.
However, after his brothers reminder, Pei Youâan suddenly thought of He
Wang, who was in the tigers den of the He family.. Hence, he asked, âBrother, how has Brother Wang been recently?â
