Peng Yuezeng also looked at Ye Zhiwei and Ji Shuli, as well as Jiang Jianian beside them.
Jiang Jianian has a rather cold personality, but he is very polite to Peng Yuezeng and is courteous and generous in social situations. However, while talking to Peng Yuezeng, Jiang Jianian also glances at Yu Jingchen on the other side of Peng Yuezeng.
Ji Shuli put the wine aside and greeted Peng Yuezeng with a smile. Compared to his rather cold attitude towards Jiang Jianian, Peng Yuezeng's attitude towards Ji Shuli was much better. He said with a smile, "You are just like Jing Chen, trying to please him. After knowing that I like wine, you searched everywhere to find some for me."
As Peng Yuezeng spoke, he looked at the wine that Ji Shuli had given him. Ji Shuli was even giving away his grandfather's collection. Peng Yuezeng was clearly quite fond of it. The old gentleman who had just been talking to Yu Shishu about his favorite things was now stroking the wine that Ji Shuli had given him and laughing, "This is a really good thing. You might not be able to get your hands on it even if you have money. How could someone as young as you get your hands on something like this? You're giving me a piece of your grandfather's treasured collection, aren't you?"
Ji Shuli's use of the old man's bug made the old man very happy, and he became even kinder to Ji Shuli.
The old gentleman was not only kind and gentle to Ji Shuli, but also very fond of Ye Zhiwei. Mr. Peng was an aloof man who disliked being tied down by a woman when he was young. He never married, but he had one lover after another. Even now, he only has a girlfriend and no wife. In fact, when a woman suggested that she wanted to find someone to rely on and get married, the old gentleman gave her an exorbitant breakup fee. At this point, he was already single.
Peng Yuezeng had a naturally bad temper, and because he didn't want to be tied down, he wouldn't allow the women around him to get pregnant with his children. When he was still relatively young, he met a very scheming woman. After she got pregnant and had an abortion, he went to the hospital for surgery very resolutely. Even so, this old gentleman really liked children, but because he wasn't good at expressing himself, he would often end up making the children cry instead of playing with them. Ye Qingcheng once brought Xiao Zhiwei to visit the old gentleman's house, and when Peng Yuezeng was still relatively young, he started teasing her as soon as he saw her.
Ye Zhiwei sat there expressionless, watching Peng Yuezeng. Peng Yuezeng was the first to lose interest, but because Ye Zhiwei was the only child he held without crying, the old man was particularly happy. Several times he would take Ye Zhiwei out to play. Some people said they were father and daughter, while others said they were grandfather and granddaughter. Every time, Peng Yuezeng was amused.
This continued until Ye Zhiwei grew older and Peng Yuezeng could no longer carry the increasingly tall Ye Zhiwei. In addition, he was busy with business and Ye Zhiwei had to study, so they hadn't seen each other for a long time. The old gentleman said a few words to Ji Shuli, and when his gaze fell on Ye Zhiwei, he couldn't help but shake his head and say, "This little ungrateful brat, I clearly carried her up to adulthood, but I've never seen her come to sit here with me since she grew up. It's a shame that I doted on you so much when you were little."
Ye Zhiwei: ? ? ?
Something just doesn't feel right.
Ye Zhiwei would certainly believe it if you said that Old Master Ji doted on her, Ji Shuli spoiled her, and all the housekeepers and servants in the Ye family sided with her and doted on her. However, her father, her old friend of many years, had a bad temper, and because of his sharp eye, his business grew bigger and bigger, which led to a vicious cycle where his temper became even worse.
The old man's attitude was habitual; he couldn't even speak properly to children. Although she didn't know why he always took her out, Ye Zhiwei's only memory was that the old man initially tried to tease her, probably wanting to make her cry. When Ye Zhiwei stared at him expressionlessly, the old man would inexplicably burst into laughter, looking very happy.
Ye Zhiwei: ...
I don't have any particularly pleasant memories from my childhood. I never imagined that when I needed this grandfather's help as an adult, I would be accused of spoiling him for nothing.
Even though she was completely bewildered, since the old man had said that, Ye Zhiwei could only apologize profusely and say, "I've been busy with my studies, so I haven't been able to visit you..."
Peng Yuezeng got even angrier when he saw Ye Zhiwei being so polite. He waved his hand and sneered that Ye Zhiwei was a heartless little girl.
The heartless Ms. Ye now wants to do even more heartless things: for example, to persuade Mr. Peng to get the investment funds.
This incident left Ye Zhiwei confused and not quite understanding, but Yu Jingchen and the others nearby were clear that the old gentleman probably had a great fondness for Ye Zhiwei because of her childhood. Although the old gentleman had high investment requirements, it was hard to guarantee that he could still be as decisive as he was when he was young at this age, and he might do things with a bit of private consideration.
Yu Jingchen did not want to miss such an opportunity. He narrowed his eyes and came up with another plan. As Peng Yuezeng arranged for a few people to sit down and sent someone to get wine and snacks, Yu Jingchen smiled meaningfully at Peng Yuezeng and said, "Uncle seems to really like young people."
Peng Yuezeng snorted coldly, "Not all young people are worthy of my attention."
"Then our Shishu is honored?"
Peng Yuezeng patted Yu Shishu on the shoulder and sighed, "What kind of TV dramas are these days? I can understand men and women dating, but how come there are so many complicated relationships between men these days? Your TV dramas are good, you should keep it up, or you'll end up making things that people don't really understand."
He seemed to have high praise for Yu Shishu, and looking at him, he said, "However, you're too shy. Being shy and reserved is good, but there has to be a limit. In this society, you need to be more outgoing. You should learn from this girl. She's been outgoing since she was little. Even when she was a child, her voice was very loud and clear, and she wasn't afraid of anyone at all..."
Ye Zhiwei: ...
Yu Shishu listened patiently to Peng Yuezeng's words with his head down. He could hold back a little before, but ever since Ye Zhiwei appeared, his ears have turned red uncontrollably. He felt that this was not good, so he didn't look at Ye Zhiwei much. Fortunately, there were many people around, and the old gentleman did not notice that Yu Shishu was even more shy than before.
He began to regret why he had come.
Even though he knew perfectly well that Yu Jingchen was just coaxing him to come, he still lied to himself and came.
Yu Shishu hung his head. He was wearing a serious suit, but he didn't look serious at all. It was as if he had been abandoned by someone. He didn't want to be noticed earlier, and now he sat there in silence. He would only answer out of politeness when Peng Yuezeng spoke.
Yu Jingchen noticed Yu Shishu's disappointment. After hearing Peng Yuezeng's words, in front of Ye Zhiwei and Jiang Jianian, the soon-to-be couple, he jokingly said, "Since you also think my younger brother is shy and timid, why don't you take the initiative to introduce him to this Miss Ye and let her help take care of him? I think their personalities complement each other very well."
