Chapter 622 She's Very Well-Behaved (Fifty-One)
Pei Yanli never expected that the old man would act so quickly this time. After discussing it, he directly made him sign an agreement.
He carefully read the contents above and realized that he didn't need to manage the company, and that the company's affairs would be none of his concern from now on.
It didn't affect him much, so he signed it.
Old Master Pei felt sorry for the money, but there was nothing he could do. After taking the contract, he said with a dark face, "Alright, you can go back now. I will have my secretary transfer the money to your account first thing tomorrow morning."
Seeing the grim expressions on their faces, Pei Yanli was still puzzled. If they didn't want to give it, why did they insist on giving it?
As soon as he left, the old man couldn't wait to take his two eldest sons to the pavilion in the backyard to see a plate of cinnabar that was still there.
The character above had indeed changed, becoming the character "和" (hé).
Old Master Pei gritted his teeth: "It seems to be true... You all need to be more careful in the future and try your best to make the company's business thrive."
...
Pei Yanli thought he would linger at the old house for a long time, but he didn't expect to come out so quickly.
As soon as we got in the car, Pei Che suddenly appeared out of nowhere and insisted on sitting in the passenger seat: "Uncle, you need to take me to the city right away. You took so much money, and my dad and second uncle looked terrible. If I stay, I'll definitely get scolded."
Pei Yanli glanced at him, then started the car without saying a word.
Pei Che was delighted: "Uncle, let me tell you, I feel that half of this family fortune should belong to you. Back then, Grandpa owed you and Grandma a lot."
Pei Yanli glared at him: "What little mistress?"
Pei Che chuckled, "You're my uncle, and your mother is my great-aunt. Anyway, you're entitled to all this money. If it weren't for my great-aunt taking care of Grandpa in the countryside back then, he might not have made it back alive."
Pei Yanli regretted letting Pei Che get in the car, finding his nagging really annoying: "Alright, shut up, or get out."
Pei Che quickly made a pulling gesture with his mouth to indicate that he would shut up and not say anything.
But after walking only a few kilometers, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, are you going to find Aunt now?"
One good thing about him is that he's quick to change his mind. Since his uncle and Zhou Zhiyi are together, he happily accepts the reality that Zhou Zhiyi is his aunt.
As long as he's sweet-talking enough, how could his uncle and aunt not get any benefits from him?
Pei Yanli was planning to go find Shang Shang, and glanced at Pei Che: "I'll let you off when we get to Guomao. You can go wherever you want."
Pei Che refused: "Uncle, today is a good day. You got so much money and now you have the means to marry Auntie. We should celebrate. Also, take me with you. I want to sincerely apologize to Auntie again."
His words pleased Pei Yanli, who actually took him to find Shang Shang.
After parking the car at the entrance of the family compound, he glanced at Pei Che. Before he could even speak, Pei Che was already bowing and scraping: "I understand, Uncle, I understand. I'll go sit in the back."
He got out of the car nimbly and sat in the back seat.
Pei Yanli glanced at him before calling Shang Shang, who answered the phone and came down quickly.
After getting on the bus, I was a little surprised to see Pei Che sitting in the back.
Before she could speak, Pei Che waved enthusiastically: "Auntie, hello! I was wrong last time, I've come to apologize. I hope you can forgive me..."
Shang Shang looked at Pei Che as he rattled off a long string of words, feeling both amused and exasperated: "Alright, remember to obey the law in the future. If you do this again, I should send you to jail."
Pei Che's expression changed: "Auntie, I really know I was wrong. I was being immature that time. I made a bet with them and went without thinking."
Pei Yanli frowned: "That's because you're brainless. And those friends you've made, can they even be called friends? Alright, you've seen the person, get out of the car now."
Pei Che was taken aback: "Uncle, didn't you promise to take me to celebrate?"
Pei Yanli turned around and looked at him coldly: "Did I agree? Get down here now."
Pei Che grumbled as he got out of the car, then leaned against the window and looked at Pei Yanli: "Uncle, Uncle, don't forget to buy me a cell phone."
When Pei Yanli glared at him, he darted away like a rabbit.
Shang Shang laughed: "Why is he so afraid of you?"
When Pei Yanli turned to look at Shang Shang, his expression softened instantly. He reached out and gently pinched her cheek: "He's not a bad person by nature, but he's been spoiled by his family and doesn't have much of a brain. He's picked up a bunch of bad habits."
Then he asked Shangshang, "Shall we go out for dinner?"
Shang Shang checked the time: "I just had lunch. What should I eat now?"
Pei Yanli thought about it and realized it was true. He chuckled and said, "Then let's go to Yan Lei's place for a while and have dinner together tonight. Ask Du Mengmeng and Wang Jianni if they have time."
Shang Shang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's go now."
Pei Yanli gently stroked her cheek with his thumb, leaned over and kissed her eyebrows and eyes before sitting up straight and driving.
On the way to Yan Lei's club, Pei Yanli talked about what he had done at home that morning. He was still puzzled: "I don't quite understand why he is so generous. After returning to the city, he never sent my mother any living expenses."
Old Pei was a man of refined egoism his whole life; everything he did was for his own benefit.
When there's no benefit to them, they'll immediately distance themselves and ignore them.
Just like back then, when he went to the countryside, he needed Pei Yanli's mother's help so that he wouldn't be bullied and wouldn't have to do too much hard farm work.
After returning to the city, he immediately forgot about the mother and child; how could he possibly send them money?
Therefore, he really couldn't understand what the old man's true intentions were in giving away the family property so generously today without any apparent purpose.
Shang Shang hadn't expected Old Man Pei to be so efficient. It seemed he was really scared by Shen Fanxing. She smiled and said, "Maybe he suddenly had a change of heart? Anyway, you deserve it, so take the money."
While speaking, he looked down and sent a message to Chen Fanxing: You're really something, Old Man Pei gave the money to Pei Yanli.
Shen Fanxing replied instantly: Of course.
Shang Shang smiled with the corners of her lips raised.
Pei Yanli was a little surprised by Shang Shang's reaction. He thought she would feel that the money should not be accepted, but he did not expect her to have such a good idea. He smiled and asked, "Do you think this money should be accepted?"
Shang Shang nodded happily: "Absolutely. Your mother has suffered a lot for this. Why don't you take it and let your father feel sorry for her too?"
Pei Yanli smiled: "Okay, I was originally thinking of paying him back in a few days. When I was in school, I worked part-time and never spent a penny of his money."
Shang Shang shook her head: "Such ambition is not advisable. He is your father, it is his responsibility to raise you, and the family property should be given to you as compensation to your mother. Even if you take all the money and donate it, you can't let them benefit from it."
Pei Yanli suddenly turned the steering wheel, pulled into a side road, and parked the car. He reached out and took Shang Shang's hand: "How lucky I am to have met you..."
