Chapter 631 She's Very Well-Behaved (Sixty)
Pei Yanli listened to the old man's words with a smile, not taking them to heart.
When he returned to his hometown, he didn't plan to let Shangshang come with him. The mountainous area was too harsh, with no roads accessible by car and requiring a long walk along mountain paths. He couldn't bear to let Shangshang suffer like that.
Dinner wasn't too late, so as not to disturb the rest of the elderly.
Shang Xingzhou arranged for a driver to take the elderly people home first, and then called Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye upstairs to have tea and chat, mainly to discuss Shang Shang's marriage.
He and Su Li didn't have a daughter, so they always treated Shang Shang like their own daughter.
Now that Shangshang is getting married, they naturally attach great importance to it.
They even investigated and found out it was Pei Yanli's family, and they were very dissatisfied with this family.
Shang Xingzhou sighed with regret: "How could such a good child as Pei Yanli be born into such a family? Old Man Pei is a terrible person, and his two sons are just as terrible."
"The two of them are not very capable, but they indulge in all sorts of vices, such as eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. My investigation revealed that this old man is very harsh on Pei Yanli. He only took him home because Pei Yanli is smart and can bring him face."
"Some time ago, I don't know what happened, but I transferred most of my assets to Pei Yanli. The remaining money in the company will have nothing to do with Pei Yanli from now on."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't care: "It's okay if it's okay. Anyway, our family isn't short of money. It's better to cut ties. We won't have to suffer from that old man's bullying anymore."
Shang Xingzhou disagreed: "We can't let that old guy get away with it. I'm planning to take over his company and give it to us, Shang Shang."
Jiang Zhizhi was taken aback: "How do I do it?"
Shang Xingzhou grinned wickedly: "Let's set up a scheme to make his company go out of business and have to sell it. Then we can buy the company. Although the company's performance has been declining recently, it still has a solid foundation and can still rise again."
Old Man Pei used to be quite capable in business, but now his health is failing and he no longer has the energy to manage the company, which is why his two good-for-nothing sons have ruined it so badly.
Therefore, it would be a waste to leave such a company in the hands of two people; it would be better to take it over.
Jiang Zhizhi remained silent.
Zhou Xiye, unusually, did not object: "Be careful, don't give yourself away, or you'll cause trouble for Shangshang. Also, don't break the law."
Shang Xingzhou found it rather strange; it was truly rare for Zhou Xiye to say something like that.
After all, Zhou Xiye had previously looked down on him for using some less-than-honorable methods in the business world.
He would remain silent whenever business was discussed.
They were even a little disgusted, but today they actually agreed.
Thinking about it, it was all because of his daughter, Shang Xingzhou said happily, "Don't worry, it definitely won't cause any trouble for Shangshang. It's just that, when Old Man Pei loses his public property, he might come looking for Pei Yanli to take care of him in his old age."
Jiang Zhizhi scoffed, "Dream on."
Su Li also had an idea: "It's okay, let's get some medicine so that his mind gets muddled and he won't remember looking for Pei Yanli."
Zhou Xiye frowned: "This won't do, the methods are too despicable."
Su Li laughed out loud: "Sister, look at brother-in-law, he's still so serious, as if we're really going to do something illegal."
...
The elders were upstairs drinking tea and chatting, while Shang Shang and Pei Yanli were drinking and singing with their younger siblings.
The children were also mischievous and naughty, deliberately making Pei Yanli drink a lot of alcohol.
They were all very sweet-talking and kept calling him "brother-in-law," which made Pei Yanli willingly drink quite a lot of wine.
Seeing that Pei Yanli was already somewhat drunk, Shang Shang smiled and went over to stop him, saying, "Alright, no more forcing him to drink, or I won't give you big red envelopes for the New Year."
There are a few younger ones who are still in college, and their living expenses are strictly controlled. They rely on their older sisters to secretly give them a big red envelope during holidays.
Now, threatened by Shang Shang, it immediately obediently went to sit aside and play.
Shang Shang supported Pei Yanli's arm: "How are you? Are you alright? Shall I take you to the rooftop for some fresh air?"
Pei Yanli followed Shang Shang upstairs to the rooftop terrace, which was a large sunroom.
All four sides are floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a view of the lights of the Forbidden City.
Shang Shang smiled and took Pei Yanli's hand: "You're too honest. They're being naughty, they're just teasing you to make you drink."
Pei Yanli smiled and reached out to hug Shang Shang: "I'm so happy, I'm really so happy. They call me brother-in-law, I'm so happy."
Because he was slightly drunk, Pei Yanli lost his usual aloofness and became somewhat childish and talkative.
"You're so wonderful; I didn't know you lived in such a happy family."
Shang Shang smiled and nodded: "Yes, it will be your home from now on, and my family will be your family too."
Pei Yanli was touched. He hugged Shang Shang tightly from behind, leaned down and rested his chin on her shoulder, his cheek against her soft face: "Thank you."
Shang Shang didn't say anything, but smiled and looked ahead.
...
After New Year's Day, Shang Shang was very busy, and Pei Yanli was also busy.
When Shang Shang finally had some free time and invited Du Mengmeng and Wang Jiani to dinner, she learned some shocking news: Wang Jiani and Chen Shuo were together.
Shang Shang exclaimed in surprise. Although she had looked at some things before, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
He couldn't wait to meet the two of them.
Looking at Wang Jianni's sweet expression, where is the image of the strong woman she used to be?
Shang Shang couldn't help but ask in surprise, "When did you two get together? Why didn't you tell me?"
Wang Jianni was a little embarrassed: "I originally wanted to tell you, but you've been too busy lately. You said that some drugs are in the experimental stage, so I didn't tell you."
Shang Shang was a little confused: "You could have told me, or sent me a text message. It wouldn't have affected my experiment."
Du Mengmeng chuckled: "She was just feeling guilty and didn't dare to say anything. If I hadn't run into her and Chen Shuo holding hands while shopping at the mall once, I wouldn't have known either."
Shen Fanxing hasn't returned yet, and without this intelligence chief, Shang Shang doesn't know anything about Chen Shuo's side.
So the two of them kept their relationship a complete secret.
Wang Jianni met their gazes, raised her hand and smiled, "I'll be honest, I'll be honest. I used to be stubborn and said I didn't want to get married, but now, Chen Shuo is really too good, I'm very tempted."
Du Mengmeng asked in surprise, "What do you mean? You don't mean you want to get married, do you?"
Wang Jianni nodded: "Yes, I feel very secure with Chen Shuo, so I want to get married."
Du Mengmeng reached out and touched Wang Jianni's forehead: "Sister, you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense? In my experience, you should wait and see about marriage, after all, you and Chen Shuo just got together."
"You must get along well with him, especially his family; you must understand their situation."
Wang Jianni nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Shang Shang patted Du Mengmeng's arm to stop her from speaking: "Don't discourage Nini. When you're in love, you'll definitely want to be together forever, so you'll naturally think about marriage."
"But don't worry, Nini is very smart, she definitely won't act impulsively."
Wang Jianni nodded and looked at Du Mengmeng: "How are things going between you and Yan Lei lately?"
