Chapter 129: Hypnosis
The lights in the study were not bright.
Old Master Pei's voice was stern, and listening to it instilled a sense of fear in people.
Pei Yanzhi knelt upright. Perhaps inheriting his grandfather's indifference, Pei Yanzhi showed little fear on his face and said gently, "Grandpa, I know it's not appropriate for Xu Yihuan to meet with Aunt, but before you scold me, I'd like you to watch this video first."
As he spoke, Pei Yanzhi stood up, opened his phone, pulled up the video, and presented it to Old Master Pei.
Old Master Pei snorted coldly, clearly not believing that a video could change his mind.
But they still didn't interrupt.
His gaze fell on the video playing in Pei Yanzhi's hand.
The video shows Xu Yihuan and Pei Yi'an chatting warmly at an event at Peking University.
Pei Yi'an's gentle expression was quite rare.
Everyone knows that Pei Yi'an often has a stern face after becoming a translator.
It's rare to be this gentle.
Therefore, such a scene is quite rare.
However, Grandpa Pei did not feel warm at all.
His eyes widened, and he pounded the ground with his cane.
"What exactly are you trying to say?!"
He knew perfectly well that what he least wanted to see was Xu Yihuan and Pei Yi'an getting close.
Pei Yanzhi chuckled softly.
He knew that Old Master Pei was aware of Xu Yihuan's English proficiency.
There's no need to go to great lengths to prove it.
So he chose this particular segment.
All of Old Master Pei's reactions were exactly as he had expected.
Pei Yanzhi naturally put away his phone and said, "It's like this, Grandpa. You see, Huanhuan and Auntie only met once, but they already have such a good relationship."
"Besides, Huanhuan recently trended on social media because of her English. It's obvious that Huanhuan inherited her aunt's English talent and seems to be even better than Tangtang."
“I think it might not be a bad thing to let Auntie have more contact with Xu Yihuan and train her to serve our Pei family.”
“If the Pei family’s bloodline is left outside, it will ultimately benefit outsiders.” Pei Yanzhi said while observing the expression on Old Master Pei’s face.
After noticing that the anger on his face was gradually subsiding, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was Pei Yanzhi's last words that moved Old Master Pei.
Those who are of the Pei family bloodline should serve the Pei family.
Can……
"But that girl and Pei Yi'an are not on the same path after all."
What the Pei family needs is not business assistance, but a ticket to officialdom.
Pei Yanzhi had long anticipated that Old Master Pei would say such a thing.
He immediately replied, "What's so difficult about that?"
"Have you forgotten what her biological mother did?"
It wouldn't be difficult to have Pei Yi'an guide them properly.
After listening to Pei Yanzhi's words, Old Master Pei actually found them to make a lot of sense.
Although he wanted Pei Yi'an to train Pei Yutang, wouldn't it be better if both of them could be trained?
But if that happens, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?
He went to great lengths to hypnotize Pei Yi'an's memories.
If Pei Yi'an were to remember again, who knows if she would return to Yuncheng and become love-obsessed again?
Pei Yanzhi noticed the old master's hesitation and said with feigned satisfaction, "Now my aunt is the director of the Translation Department."
"If she had this identity back then, she probably wouldn't have gone to Yuncheng."
After being reminded, Old Master Pei finally remembered and breathed a silent sigh of relief.
Now that you mention it, we can start looking for the person who hypnotized Pei Yi'an back then...
Whether you need it or not, it's always good to have it on hand.
Grandpa Pei coughed twice: "Alright, let's leave it at that for now."
“It’s good that you’ve grown up and have your own ideas, but I still hope that you can put your family first.”
Old Master Pei gave a calm warning.
Pei Yanzhi's smile faded, and he lowered his head to acknowledge the order.
Just as Pei Yanzhi was about to leave, a figure at the door hurriedly stepped away.
Walking too fast, Pei Yutang bumped straight into someone's arms.
Pei Yutang almost cursed out loud, but when she looked up, she saw that it was Pei Yi'an.
Pei Yi'an was about to go downstairs when she bumped into Pei Yutang and instinctively helped her.
"Why is Tangtang in such a hurry?" Pei Yi'an asked, seeing her flustered expression.
Pei Yutang shook her head, her panic still evident.
She replied, "I came up here to find something, and I'm about to go down now, Auntie."
"You should go down too, after all, you are the main character of the birthday banquet."
Pei Yi'an had a feeling that something was off about Pei Yutang, but she did go out anyway.
So he didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and left.
Pei Yutang watched Pei Yi'an's retreating figure, a hint of ruthlessness gradually flashing in her eyes.
She absolutely cannot allow Pei Yi'an to regain her memories.
Otherwise, sharing resources equally with Xu Yihuan would be considered good.
It's highly likely that Pei Yi'an will give all the resources to Xu Yihuan.
No, she had to find the person who hypnotized Pei Yi'an back then.
That person cannot live.
At this moment, Xu Yihuan and Pei Yuli downstairs both turned their attention to Li Si.
Xu Yihuan raised an eyebrow: "It's me."
Li Si extended his hand to Xu Yihuan and said in a flattering tone, "I've long admired your name."
Xu Yihuan was a little surprised, wondering where she got such a famous name, but she still reached out and shook hands with Li Si.
"I saw the trending topics a while ago. Miss Xu is indeed a very talented person."
Xu Yihuan humbly replied, "No, no, I can't compare to Mr. Li's skillful diplomacy."
Did she really not know? Li Si was a notorious liar in the industry. She had seen him before when she was helping her father organize documents.
Li Si didn't take the modesty seriously and handed his business card to Xu Yihuan.
"I hope we'll have the opportunity to collaborate in the future." Actually, it doesn't matter what Xu Yihuan herself is like; what matters is that Tang Wanhua is standing behind her.
Xu Yihuan didn't refuse again and accepted with a smile.
She is currently lacking connections.
Pei Yuli's face darkened the moment Li Si spoke to Xu Yihuan.
He didn't expect that someone would actually come looking for her because of Xu Yihuan's identity.
After speaking, Li Si's gaze fell on Pei Yuli beside him. Seeing his expression, he was momentarily confused as to what was wrong with him.
He naturally recognized Pei Yi'an's son and politely extended his hand to Pei Yuli.
Pei Yuli could no longer maintain his composure and gentle demeanor. He didn't return the handshake, but simply said "Excuse me" and turned to leave.
The next second, someone called Li Si's name. Li Si nodded casually at Xu Yihuan, then turned and left.
Xu Yihuan didn't say anything, but simply found a quiet spot to sit down again.
"Huanhuan, you're here?"
Pei Yi'an's voice was very gentle, and Xu Yihuan couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
"Aunt Pei... it's been a long time."
Seeing Xu Yihuan like this, Pei Yi'an couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
Recalling the rumors she had overheard earlier, Pei Yi'an asked, "Huanhuan, did you come with Yanzhi today?"
"Didn't I send you an e-invitation? Why didn't you use it?"
"What electronic invitation?" Xu Yihuan asked in surprise, as she hadn't received one at all.
He thought Pei Yi'an had completely forgotten about inviting her to the birthday party, but it turns out he hadn't forgotten.
Xu Yihuan's heart stirred.
Pei Yi'an was also somewhat surprised to hear this, and explained, "I sent you an invitation via email. What? Didn't you receive it?"
Xu Yihuan was surprised, but quickly took out her phone, looked it over, and still found nothing.
Pei Yi'an followed and took a look. Besides some emails from 10086 (China Mobile's customer service hotline) and some work emails, there were none for her.
How could that be?
Pei Yi'an frowned.
Xu Yihuan seemed to have thought of something, and silently opened her spam folder.
Um.
The email at the very top was sent by Pei Yi'an to himself; it has a red dot in front of it, indicating that he hasn't opened or read it.
Xu Yihuan: ...
Pei Yi'an: ...
No one expected that Pei Yi'an's email would be classified as spam.
The two looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"I will definitely empty the trash can regularly next time."
Xu Yihuan touched her nose and said.
Just then, on the second floor.
Pei Yanzhi stood beside Old Master Pei.
He said lazily, "What do you think, sir?"
"That's why we're related by blood, after all."
"We can get this close without doing anything."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Pei snorted coldly, glanced at Pei Yanzhi, and ultimately said nothing.
