Pei Zhi knew he had been judging Lu Langxuan by his intentions rather than his actions, and that he was trying to frame him, but there was nothing he could do.
Blame it on Pei Xi being too likable.
His intuition is almost always right.
Wasn't that the guy he beat up last time? He felt there was something wrong with the way he looked at Pei Xi, and sure enough, there was something wrong!
Pei Zhi angrily pounded the bed.
He has an incredibly accurate eye for people.
To be honest, the reason he and Shi Chen have been brothers for so long, besides their compatible interests, is that he knows Shi Chen's feelings for Pei Xi are very innocent.
Although he often teased Shi Chen, it was mostly in jest. He knew that Shi Chen treated Pei Xi like a younger sister.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be bringing Shi Chen around in front of Pei Xi every day.
Wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house?
Pei Xi was unaware of Pei Zhi's complicated thoughts. Seeing that the ice pack had melted, she replaced it with another one.
Pei Zhi was extremely vulnerable at that moment and needed someone to comfort him. Pei Xi stayed in his room and chatted with him.
She had originally wanted to send Jiang Cheng the skiing video that the coach had taken of her, but she hadn't had the time to do so.
As night fell, Pei Xi helped him to a restaurant for dinner.
Today is New Year's Eve, and the restaurant has arranged a buffet. Unfortunately, Pei Zhi broke his leg.
Fortunately, Pei Xi knew what he liked to eat, and in order to take care of the patient, she took over the task and served him food.
Seeing this, Jiang Rong, who was standing nearby, couldn't hide her affection and praised the siblings for their good relationship.
So the two adults naturally started talking about their children.
"Xiao Zhi will be taking the college entrance exam after the New Year, right?" Jiang Rong asked.
Pei Ruoyun nodded, "Yes."
"Do you have a school in mind?"
Pei Zhi looked up from the food and shook his head. "Not yet."
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "Xiao Zhi can get into my Langxuan's school, so the two brothers can look after each other."
Lu Langxuan's alma mater, Anhui University, is also one of the top 5 universities in the country, where he studies economics.
Pei Zhi smiled politely but did not respond.
Jiang Rong then looked at Pei Ruoyun, "Don't you have any plans for Xiao Zhi?"
Pei Ruoyun shook her head, "No, it's all up to the child, I won't interfere."
Jiang Rong was taken aback, not expecting Pei Ruoyun to think that way.
"Don't you want to train Xiaozhi to take over your company?" Jiang Rong asked with a smile. "The sooner Xiaozhi grows up, the sooner she can help you share the burden."
At least that's what their family expects of Lu Langxuan; every step is planned.
Pei Ruoyun shook her head and smiled, "I started the company myself, it has nothing to do with the children, why should they share the burden? Besides, isn't the purpose of earning so much money so that they can do whatever they want?"
Jiang Rong paused for a moment, then sighed, "I admired you when I was young. Your thinking was different from those old-fashioned people. If my husband, Lao Lu, had your level of awareness, Lang Xuan would be studying literature, which he loves, right now. It's a pity, but I don't have the final say."
Upon hearing this, Lu Langxuan's eyes darkened, and he remained silent.
Pei Xi subconsciously turned her head to look at him, and sensitively realized that he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
Pei Zhi, standing to the side, continued eating and drinking as if he hadn't heard anything.
Pei Xi had almost finished eating. She wiped her mouth, leaned back in her chair, and suddenly noticed that many people were walking towards the large terrace outside the restaurant.
"Where are they going out to do?" she asked.
Pei Ruoyun said, "There will be a fireworks show later. If you kids don't mind the cold, you can go out and watch it."
Pei Xi's eyes lit up when she heard about the fireworks, and she nudged Pei Zhi, "Shall we go too?"
Pei Zhi frowned, giving him an expression that said, "You really don't care about me at all." "My leg is like this, and you still want to go out to watch fireworks?"
Pei Xi: "".
After a moment of silence, she stood up, put on her coat, and said, "I'll go by myself."
