Chapter 154: Pei Dahua is unhappy
"One million?"
Qin Song was dumbfounded.
Pei Xingzhi frowned and asked, "Did Lin Jiahe invest personally?"
Ye Ci nodded: "It's invested in his personal name, and has nothing to do with Lin's business."
"...Why?" Pei Xingzhi was silent for a few seconds and asked in confusion.
"…Why?" Ye Ci was confused by his question. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly laughed, "Why else? Of course, it's because they see the commercial value of our game."
"..." Pei Xingzhi's brows were getting tighter and tighter, and it seemed that he didn't think so.
It stands to reason that having investment is a good thing, especially since their studio is in need of investment right now. But for some reason, when Pei Xingzhi heard that Lin Jiahe was going to invest one million in his personal name, he was not happy at all. On the contrary, he was a little anxious.
This feeling was just like when he first found out that Lin Jiahe had secretly transferred 100,000 yuan to Qin Song. He felt anxious and uneasy.
He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Jiahe who was standing across the square table. A layer of vigilance gradually emerged in his eyes, mixed with a hint of hostility.
"What's wrong, Brother Pei?" Seeing that Pei Xingzhi's expression was not right, Ye Ci asked curiously, "Are you not happy that someone invested in our studio?"
"..." Pei Xingzhi took out two boxes of crayfish from the plastic bag and put them on the table with a stern face, and said coldly:
“Not happy.”
“…Ah?” Ye Ci’s forehead was full of question marks.
"Why are you unhappy?" Qin Song was also confused.
Pei Xingzhi looked at her with a bit of annoyance, raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose: "I don't know."
"Hmm?" Qin Song suddenly had more question marks on his forehead than Ye Ci.
After taking out all the things in the packing bag and placing them on the dining table, Pei Lingxuan asked everyone to take their seats quickly.
Everyone was old acquaintances, so they were not shy about eating together. In fact, half of the people had already sat down before Pei Lingxuan even greeted them.
This dinner was rather casual. We didn't go to a restaurant, nor did we have any extra activities. Everyone just bought some dishes outside and "got together" for the dinner.
But this does not affect the mood of several people.
There was talking and laughing at the dinner table, and everyone was happy and relaxed.
Except Pei Lingxuan.
But Pei Lingxuan was not unhappy, she just behaved strangely occasionally.
For example, from the moment she sat down, she loved to turn her head to look at Qin Song from time to time.
Her eyes were sometimes scrutinizing, sometimes confused, and sometimes disappointed, as if Qin Song had done something complicated and unspeakable to her.
But in fact, Qin Song had been concentrating on eating since he sat down and hadn't even said a few words.
“Eh…”
After another inexplicable gaze, Pei Lingxuan supported her chin and suddenly sighed deeply.
“…”
Qin Song finally couldn't stand it anymore, and turned around to meet Pei Lingxuan's gaze before she could retract it.
"Is there something wrong?" she asked bluntly.
"Uh..." Pei Lingxuan was stunned for a moment, then said with a forced smile: "Sister-in-law, can I have something to do?"
"..." Qin Song looked at her indescribably, "Of course."
Pei Lingxuan put down her chopsticks and carefully took Qin Song's arm like a lackey: "Sister-in-law, if I have something to ask, can I ask you directly?"
Qin Song took a bite of the duck head in his hand and said, "Sure."
Pei Lingxuan: "If I ask you, will you tell the truth and not hide anything?"
Qin Song: “…Yes.”
“Hehe…” Pei Lingxuan smiled foolishly and blinked wildly, “Then what should I ask?”
Qin Song: “…Ask.”
Pei Lingxuan then leaned over, pretending to be casual and leaning close to Qin Song's ear, and asked tactfully: "Sister-in-law, does my brother know that you and Lu Yibai met privately?"
"!!!" Qin Song's eyes suddenly widened.
When Pei Lingxuan saw her reaction, she felt sad.
It's over, something might happen...
"You, you saw everything?" Qin Song stared at Pei Lingxuan, but there was only surprise in his eyes, no guilt or panic.
Pei Lingxuan was slightly startled, then nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it all."
"...Okay." Qin Song responded indifferently, and even had the mood to ask her, "So what you want to ask is what I did when I met him that day, right?"
Pei Lingxuan blinked: "...Yeah."
Qin Song took out his phone and said succinctly: "Go to WeChat and I'll send you a message."
“...Oh.” Pei Lingxuan did as she was told.
So the two of them started chatting on WeChat face to face.
Pei Xingzhi looked at them strangely for a few times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Are you two socially anxious? Why are you still sending WeChat messages when you are sitting together?"
"Brother, you don't understand!" Pei Lingxuan was talking about the key point. Hearing this, she just found an excuse to deal with it, "My sister-in-law and I are talking in private. You can't hear us."
"What secret?" Ye Ci asked curiously, "Even we can't hear it?"
"No!" Qin Song and Pei Lingxuan said in unison.
After saying that, Pei Lingxuan added: "This is a girl's private matter, you grown men shouldn't ask about it casually!"
"Aunt Pei~" Ye Ci deliberately made trouble, leaning on Mother Pei like a little bird, and said in a pinched voice: "Look at the two of them, they say you are also a grown man~"
"Get out of the way." Mother Pei suppressed her laughter and drove Ye Ci away from her. "Xiao Xuan was talking about you guys, not me."
"Hmph..." Ye Ci snorted in a pretentious manner, then tilted his body and leaned towards Lin Jiahe again.
Lin Jiahe avoided him like a dog and said disdainfully, "Go away and stop disgusting me."
Ye Ci was desperate, so he looked to Pei Xingzhi for help: "Brother Pei..."
"Get lost." Pei Xingzhi stared at him coldly. The words that came out of his seemingly friendly mouth were so cold and heartless.
"..." Ye Ci was heartbroken and picked up the Sprite in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh my god, sister-in-law, you are so amazing."
After learning the whole process of Qin Song and Lu Yibai's meeting, Pei Lingxuan couldn't help but give Qin Song a thumbs up.
"Hey..." Qin Song waved his hand at her and whispered, "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."
Pei Lingxuan: “OK!”
"Remember to keep it a secret for me. Now is far from the time to reveal it." Qin Song reminded her seriously.
She closed her mouth tightly and put her index finger and thumb together on her lips to make a zipper motion.
"My mouth is famously tight in Yuncheng!"
Qin Song looked at her sideways: "...I hope so."
"Hey Lin Jiahe, while everyone is here, why don't you talk to Brother Pei about your planned investment."
Ye Ci drank too much Sprite and his mind was a little unclear. After Pei Xingzhi just said that he was unhappy with Lin Jiahe's investment, he still stepped on Pei Xingzhi's minefield and brought up the matter in public.
