Chapter 11

Pei Yanhe remained calm even after being scolded. He glanced at her outfit for going out and raised an eyebrow.

"Is this the loneliness of having someone pick you up?"

Shen Yizhi closed the gate, walked past him, and walked out without looking around, "What do you care?"

In the dark and windy night, Chu Na was the door god, and she was almost scared to death.

She didn't want to talk to him for a while.

Pei Yanhe noticed that she was a little angry, stood up straight, looked at her striding back, and shouted.

"Shen Yizhi."

She pretended not to hear and kept walking forward as if a ghost was chasing her.

Pei Yanhe lowered his head and laughed, then he had to use his trump card, "Aunt Tan asked you to come to my house for dinner these days."

Shen Yizhi paused, hesitated, turned around and walked in front of him, half believing and half doubting.

"Did my mother tell you?"

"Yeah." Pei Yanhe raised his eyes to look at her.

Chen Yizhi's face was as big as a palm, clear and cold, and his lychee eyes were round, bright and clear, more beautiful than well-behaved.

She was shrouded in his shadow, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she didn't believe it, "Why didn't my mother tell me?"

Pei Yanhe said calmly: "Maybe Aunt Tan likes me more."

Shen Yizhi: “…”

Yes, her dear Ms. Tan Huiya likes to dote on Pei Yanhe more than her daughter.

It's not a patriarchal preference.

If I had to describe it, it would be like a mother-in-law's admiration for her perfect son-in-law, a love that comes from the heart and comes with a filter.

"What are you showing off?" Shen Yizhi was unwilling to lag behind. "Uncle Pei likes me more."

When Uncle Pei was mentioned, she hissed and thought for a moment, "Is your relationship with Uncle Pei still the same as before?"

As far as I can remember, Pei Yanhe and Uncle Pei had a very strained relationship since they were ten years old. Although they lived under the same roof, they were more like strangers than biological father and son.

It was also from then on that Pei Yanhe's personality changed. He became less talkative and rarely paid attention to others.

Shen Yizhi, on the other hand, never tires of harassing and provoking him, and thus becomes what others call a special case.

Later, Uncle Pei lived in the old house, and Mingjing Bay became Pei Yanhe's home alone most of the time.

"It's been like that for years."

Pei Yanhe was not very interested in this topic, and saw out of the corner of his eye that the butler drove the Bugatti to the door.

He walked over, took the key handed to him by the housekeeper, and said to Shen Yizhi who was standing blankly in the distance: “Are you going or not?”

Shen Yizhi stepped forward in astonishment, "Where are you going?"

After a pause, she hugged herself tightly, took two steps back, and said warily: "You are not going to sell me out, are you?!"

Pei Yanhe: "..."

"Ask yourself, I've treated you well, haven't I?" Shen Yizhi began to look around. "Pei Yanhe, my mother gave me to you, but you want to sell me out. Are you worthy of my mother's trust in you?"

Pei Yanhe took two steps forward and flicked her forehead with his fingertips, neither too hard nor too soft. "What's going on in your head every day?"

Shen Yizhi cried out in pain and covered his forehead, "A gentleman uses his mouth, a villain uses his hands."

She cursed angrily: "Pei Yanhe, you little bastard!"

"Then I invite you to get in the car."

Pei Yanhe opened the passenger door and said threateningly, "If you don't get in, I'm afraid I'll have to take action again."

As always, when it comes to shamelessness, Pei Yanhe is no match for him.

Shen Yizhi glanced at him, looking at the ambiguous curve at the corner of his mouth, and said unhappily: "Where are you going?"

"Back to the old house." Pei Yanhe replied.

Shen Yizhi: “Why do you suddenly want to go back to the old house?”

Pei Yanhe explained: "Grandpa wants to see you, let me take you back for dinner."

This reason was enough to convince her, not to mention that she urgently needed the meal.

Shen Yizhi got into the car safely and fastened her seat belt. Only then did she remember to ask, "Is it my grandfather, or your grandfather?"

Pei Yanhe turned the steering wheel and said, "Both."

"Wow," Shen Yizhi exaggeratedly opened his lips slightly, with a bright smile at the corners of his eyes, "I really am popular."

Pei Yanhe's lips corners slowly rose in the dark, without comment.

Shen Yizhi has been very popular with the elders since she was a child. She is lively and generous, and can make the elders of both families happy with just a few sweet words. She is like a happy fruit, making everyone laugh wherever she goes.

So Shen Yizhi was raised with the love of two families, while Pei Yanhe was... raised in a free-range environment.

-

The old houses of the Shen and Pei families are in the military compound, very close to each other, and can be considered neighbors.

Shen Yizhi got out of the car and planned to visit Grandpa Pei first. Just as he took a step forward, Pei Yanhe's voice fell beside him.

"The old man is at your house, no need to go there."

No one knows a master better than his grandson.

Pei Yanhe knew his grandfather's nature very well.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the Shen family's door, as expected, two figures came forward to greet them.

Grandpa Pei ignored his grandson and went straight to Shen Yizhi, looking around with a smile, "Zhizhi, why do you look thinner in grandpa's eyes?"

"No, Grandpa," Shen Yizhi shook his body left and right, "I weighed myself yesterday, and it hasn't changed."

Mr. Pei: "Weight scales these days are unreliable. Zhizhi still needs to eat more so that she can grow taller."

Shen Yizhi swallowed her saliva, recalling that the fortune teller had predicted that she would grow to 1.75 meters tall, she couldn't help laughing, "Grandpa, I'm 23, I can't grow any taller."

"What do you know at your age?" Grandpa Shen suddenly stepped forward and pushed Grandpa Pei aside. "Our Zhizhi can grow to 1.75 meters. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shen Yizhi, whose net height is now 1.7 meters, said: "..." Actually, it doesn't need to be taller.

Pei Yanhe, who was squeezed into a corner and ignored by everyone, interrupted them from chatting at the door and said, "Grandpas, how about we sit down and eat while we chat?"

Grandpa Shen laughed heartily twice, "Yan He is still sensible, let's go and eat quickly."

Only then did Mr. Pei notice his only grandson. His expression was not very happy. He took two steps back to his side and spoke in a low voice.

"You little bastard, when will you be able to marry Zhizhi to me as my granddaughter-in-law?"

"Zhizhi has been studying abroad for five years. Even if you're not worried, I'm worried for you. Can you please be more careful?"

After he caught his breath and calmed down, Pei Yanhe said helplessly: "Is it me who doesn't want to finish it?"

Mr. Pei's eyes lit up. "How's the progress? Can we get married next month?"

Pei Yanhe: "..."

"What are you two whispering about?" Grandpa Shen called from the dining table, "Come and eat quickly."

Old Master Pei nodded twice, glared at his disappointing grandson, and then walked over and sat down.

Pei Yanhe sat down beside Shen Yizhi and ate his meal calmly and leisurely.

During this time, Chen Yizhi accompanied the two elders and chatted about interesting things in the UK.

Shen Yizhi said with great emotion, "Once I went to watch a football game, and a black guy next to me excitedly gave me a high five and said 'give me five'."

"And how do you and I react?"

She put on a mysterious expression and glanced at the two elders whose curiosity was completely piqued. "My hands were shaking like a sieve as I handed over five pounds in cash. Then the black guy froze in his tracks."

Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Pei burst into laughter after hearing this, and they slapped the table with joy, and the latter even coughed.

Pei Yanhe stepped forward to help smooth Mr. Pei's back. After he recovered, he looked at Shen Yizhi and asked with a frown.

"Have you ever been blackmailed abroad?"

He didn't smile, and even looked a little serious.
