Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Chaos
The Pei family's old house is in the suburbs.
The car drove for a long time before stopping at the door.
Wen Yunzhi got out of the car and when he saw that there was no one in the back seat he remembered something.
"Did we forget about the New Year's greetings? He seemed to have said he didn't drive."
"He'll come by taxi."
Pei Simo raised his head and looked not far away. A taxi with high beams on drove over there. "Here it comes."
He Nian got out of the taxi, rushed over here with great momentum, and shouted at them: "You two are too much. You left me behind when we agreed to come together. The driver even charged me an extra hundred yuan."
Pei Simo felt that he had done himself a disservice, so he agreed to He Nian's request, which he had rejected before, and said, "I will help you with the photo shoot of your commercial, Joselina."
He Nian's eyes lit up, "Really? If you ask, Selena will definitely agree."
Wen Yunzhi glanced at Pei Simo, and a hint of jealousy appeared in his tone, "Oh, it seems that President Pei has a lot of face."
Pei Simo glared at He Nian, as if blaming him for being too talkative, but quickly explained to Wen Yunzhi, "Selena and I have only worked together before."
He Nian was afraid that if he said something wrong, Pei Simo would get angry and the cooperation he had got would be gone. He quickly explained: "It's really just a cooperation. Last time Selina asked me to attend her birthday party, I didn't agree."
Wen Yunzhi said nothing and walked into the Pei family in high heels.
Pei Simo glared at He Nian again, and before he had time to talk to him, he chased Wen Yunzhi into the Pei family.
He Nian looked at the figures in front and behind him and scratched his head.

Wen Yunzhi stood in the garden, looking at Wen Hai in the living room.
He was playing chess with Pei Xuan, and they seemed to be having a great time.
Pei Simo stopped beside her and also looked into the inner room.
Wen Yunzhi sensed something was wrong.
There's something absolutely wrong.
Wen Hai and Pei Xuan had competed for Yaocheng Group more than ten years ago.
In that business war without the smoke of gunpowder, Pei Xuan was the winner, so Wen Hai has always hated Pei Xuan.
But how did this happen between the two of them?
Unless they are on the same side now.
And the ones they were targeting must be himself and Pei Simo.
Pei Simo raised his hand and patted Wen Yunzhi on the shoulder, "Relax, let's go."
Wen Yunzhi raised his eyes and looked at Pei Simo.
Somehow, I always feel particularly comfortable when I'm with him.
The two walked into the living room together.
In addition to Wen Hai and Pei Xuan, there was also Pei Xu in the living room.
Pei Xu was sitting on the sofa looking at his phone. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and looked at Wen Yunzhi and the others. A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he quickly looked away, as if he didn't care about them.
Wen Yunzhi looked around and finally set his sights on Pei Xuan.
After all, compared with Wen Hai, the gray-haired, amiable old man in front of him is the most terrifying.
Seeing that Wen Yunzhi said nothing, Wen Hai smiled at Pei Xuan and said, "This kid doesn't even say hello when he sees his elders."
Pei Xuan didn't really care. "It's okay. Yun Zhi and I have discussed this. Besides, between our two families, we don't need to worry about these false formalities."
At this time He Nian also came in and greeted everyone one by one.
Pei Xu looked at He Nian and knew that he was fooling around with Pei Simo again. He curled his lips and said, "Xiao Nian, you are also a descendant of the Pei family. You hang out with those bastards outside every day. Aren't you afraid of insulting yourself?"
When He Nian heard this, he angrily wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Pei Simo.
Pei Xuan broke the deadlock at the right time, "We are all family."
Pei Simo didn't say anything.
He was already used to this kind of talk and was too lazy to argue.
"I have forgotten who was the person who separated Pei Simo's father and mother more than 20 years ago? How about you help me think about it?"
Wen Yunzhi suddenly spoke in the silent Pei family.
The moment she opened her mouth, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Pei Simo immediately looked up at her, his pupils trembling slightly, as if he was shocked.
After Wen Yunzhi finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Pei Xu, "Speaking of bastard, I think you are more suitable. At that time... Pei Simo's father had not yet broken up with his mother."
Wen Yunzhi never scolds others but never their parents.
But what she hated most was people who knew nothing but acted as if they were third party.
Facing such a family of the best, she didn't need to be respectful.
"You are not allowed to talk about my mother."
Pei Xu rushed to Wen Yunzhi and raised his hand to hit her, but was stopped by Pei Simo.
Pei Simo held Pei Xu's fist with one hand, preventing his fist from hitting Wen Yunzhi. The next moment, he shook it lightly, making Pei Xu retreat two steps.
He Nian also stood in front of Wen Yunzhi.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing? I'm a guest."
Wen Yunzhi looked at Pei Xu with disgust.
He doesn't allow others to talk about his mother, but he can insult other people's mothers without restraint.
If this isn't a disease, then what is it?
Pei Xuan's face already looked very ugly.
Originally, the wealthy families were most afraid of these scandals, but Wen Yunzhi spoke them out openly, which had already annoyed him.
But he suppressed his anger when he thought about what was going to happen next.
"Well, the dinner hasn't even started yet and you're already on edge. What the hell."
Pei Xuan had the most say here, and the whole room suddenly became quiet as soon as he said this.
He Nian's temper was not that impulsive, and he was also the best at easing the relationship. He hurried to Pei Xuan's side, brought him a cup of tea, and pinched his shoulder and asked, "Grandma, is my mother back?"
Pei Xuan said, "Your mother has something to do and can't come back in time, so it's just us today."
He Nian said with some disappointment.
Pei Xuan pointed to the seats and said, "Okay, everyone take a seat."
Wen Yunzhi glanced at Pei Simo.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, he walked to the seat that guests should sit and sat down.
Although she couldn't eat with these people, since she was here, she had to find out what they were up to.
But when Wen Yunzhi just sat down, he felt dizzy.
She reached out to hold onto the edge of the table so that she wouldn't fall to the ground due to dizziness.
Pei Simo also noticed Wen Yunzhi's abnormality in an instant, walked to her side and supported her.
The scene reappeared in Wen Yunzhi's mind.
In the picture, she and Pei Simo seemed to have finished the dinner and were driving home. However, when passing the downtown avenue with the heaviest traffic, the car's brakes had problems. In order to avoid the vehicles, they had to steer the wheel wildly and crashed into a tree.
The last scene showed the two of them lying in the car, their lives or deaths unknown.
Pei Simo helped Wen Yunzhi sit on the chair. He almost immediately noticed her condition, leaned over to her ear and asked, "Did you see the picture again?"
Wen Yunzhi sat on the chair and nodded towards Pei Simo with a serious expression.
The brakes ruined the plot.
It is usually man-made.
He Nian poured a glass of water for Wen Yunzhi and asked, "What's wrong, Sister Wen?"
The picture faded, and Wen Yunzhi had slowed down.
She took the New Year's tea, held the cup with both hands, and looked up at the three people opposite her.
Wen Hai, Pei Xuan, and Pei Xu.
There must be one person who is to blame.
Pei Simo followed Wen Yunzhi's line of sight and looked across, with a hint of caution in his expression.
Although he didn't know what happened on the screen, Yun Zhi couldn't tell him.
But it's definitely not a good thing.
Wen Yunzhi slowed down his thoughts, lowered his head and took three deep breaths, then looked at Wen Hai and asked, "Why did you ask me to come to the Pei family today? Just tell me, I don't have time to waste here."
Wen Hai is best at pretending to be a loving father in public. He smiled and said, "This kid, today is Xiaoxu's birthday. I thought you and Si Mo were recording a show together, so we decided to get together. What's the matter?"
Pei Xuan, however, saw that Wen Hai didn't say anything, so he smiled and stroked his beard, picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying, "Wen Hai, it's not a bad thing, just tell the children."
Seeing this, Wen Hai became serious and said to Wen Yunzhi, "Yunzhi, Master Pei likes you and wants you to be his grandson's wife. I am also willing to arrange a marriage for you. You and Pei Xu should cultivate your relationship."
For a moment, the field was silent.
Wen Yunzhi looked at Wen Hai's proud gaze.
She didn't expect that Wen Hai would go to such lengths just to hate her.
But for both of them, this is indeed a good way to have the best of both worlds.
If she married Pei Xu, not only would she be able to separate from Pei Simo, but she would also be able to be manipulated by others.
Pei Xuan also smiled happily when he saw this, "They are all good children. I watched Changqing grow up. If my grandson can marry Changqing's child, it will be a good thing."
Wen Yunzhi grabbed the corner of Pei Simo's clothes and looked up at Pei Xu.
Pei Xu sneered when he saw Wen Yunzhi's gaze shift to him.
He dislikes Wen Yunzhi.
But if he could make Pei Simo hate her enough, he wouldn't mind marrying her.
Originally, Wen Yunzhi's hand was only on the corner of Pei Simo's clothes.
But Pei Simo grabbed Wen Yunzhi's hand and interlocked their fingers.
Pei Simo looked at Pei Xuan and raised his interlocked hands.
"Wen Yunzhi is the person I like."
Pei Xuan didn't seem surprised by Pei Simo's words.
Anyone who knows them can see it from their performance on the show.
So even the New Year’s greetings are not surprising.
Pei Xuan's face turned gloomy, and he slammed the table and said seriously: "I'm not dead yet, and the group hasn't been handed over to you yet. It's not your turn to decide on the marriage."
"Really? Grandpa, don't you want to know where father's will is?"
"Or, to whom did my father give the 30% of shares that determine the fate of the group?"
Pei Simo sneered, looking at Pei Xuan's eyes without any emotion between grandfather and grandson, but more of disgust.
He hated the way his life was controlled.
But now, the choice is his.
Pei Xuan's face turned even uglier when he heard this, and there was now a hint of surprise on his originally confident expression.
He didn't expect Pei Simo to say such a thing.
Pei Xuan initially thought that Pei Simo was talking nonsense and suspected that this was a delaying tactic.
But that's not right.
Pei Simo's personality is such that he would never tell lies.
Pei Xu snorted, "I was raised by my father himself. If you don't give me a child, then you will get an illegitimate child."
Wen Yunzhi looked at Pei Xuan and Wen Hai who were in cahoots with each other.
"It took you two so long to come up with this idea."
As soon as Wen Yunzhi said this, everyone's eyes turned to her again.
Pei Simo lowered his head and looked at Wen Yunzhi, with some worry on his face.
But think about it carefully.
This is Wen Yunzhi.
He should trust.
