Yu Tang is a person who refuses to admit defeat at heart. Otherwise, in her previous life, after learning about the Li family's ill intentions towards her, she would not have tried to escape from the Li family and thought about how to avenge her parents and brother even though she knew the difference in status and power between them was so great.

Pei Yan's words were like flames, immediately causing her heart to stir.

She clenched her fist, glared at Pei Yan, and immediately said, "Don't underestimate me!"

When Yu Tang said this, she was so excited that her cheeks turned red and her eyes sparkled. She turned from a gentle orchid into a fiery red azalea.

Pei Yan thinks Yu Tang is beautiful like this.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's more like it - I won't help those who are afraid before they even start to deal with things! There are so many difficult things in the world. If you don't even have the courage to try, how can you talk about success! You should think like this! Okay, it's settled. From now on, the items in your shop will be mainly patterns. I think it would be better to have a main pattern, so that when people think of this pattern, they will think of your family's red lacquerware..." As he spoke, he walked to the west bookshelf and began to flip through the books.

Yu Tang was stunned.

Is this how things in their shop are settled?

Doesn't she need to discuss this with her uncle, her father, and her eldest cousin?

Isn't this too hasty?

What if this method doesn't work?

Yu Tang looked at Pei Yan's back, who was wearing a white Taoist robe that showed off his slender waist and monkey back, and was in a dilemma for a moment.

If she didn't do what Pei Yan wanted, with Pei Yan's "I'm the smartest person in the world" character, he would definitely think that she didn't trust him, and would feel that his efforts were in vain and get angry. At that time, it wouldn't be a question of whether to pay attention to her or not, he would most likely break off the relationship with her.

If she did as he said, Pei Yan would be the smartest man in the world, but studying and doing business are two completely different things. What if his method doesn't work?

Is she going to take a gamble with Pei Yan by taking advantage of her family's inherited business?

Yu Tang suddenly felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles, his face turned red and white, and he wished he had a copper coin in his hand so that he could take it out and flip it to see the heads or tails.

How had she gotten herself into this situation?

Yu Tang wanted to scratch his head.

Pei Yan, who was standing on tiptoe and stretching his waist, suddenly turned around and said to Yu Tang with surprise, "Found it!"

Pei Yan, with a faint smile on his face, suddenly became lively, like a still landscape painting, which made people hear the sound of the stream, smell the fragrance of the grass, and feel the rustle of the wind. The whole painting came alive. Pei Yan's handsome face seemed to be glowing, which made Yu Tang's heart beat wildly and his mouth dry. He couldn't take his eyes off his face for a long time.

She once again felt Pei Yan's handsomeness.

But Pei Yan was completely unaware and continued smiling, "This is a painting album my father gave me. It was for me to practice how to paint flowers and birds. I think you can take it back and study it carefully with your painting master. I think you will gain something." As he spoke, he took out a set of six painting albums and motioned for Yu Tang to take them.

It took Yu Tang a while to react.

But Pei Yan had already frowned and said sternly: "What are you thinking about? Are you just trying to please me with what you said in front of me? Don't you dare to take the path of specialization?"

Yu Tang felt like she was standing on the edge of a cliff again. If she gave a bad answer, Pei Yan would leave her in anger and run away.

But she didn't seem to be afraid of him running away. At most, she could just be humble in front of him like before and coax him back. But if he got angry... that would be bad!

This thought flashed through her mind, and she was so frightened that she was stunned for a few breaths. Then she hurried over, stretched out her hand to take the picture album from Pei Yan's hand, and explained incoherently: "No, no. I was just thinking about this. I didn't pay attention to what you were talking about. Since I promised you that I would run the lacquerware shop at home well, I will definitely do it. Don't worry about this. I am not the kind of person who goes back on his word..."

Yu Tang's outstretched hand fell empty - Pei Yan turned around, put the picture album in his hand on the tea table beside him, frowned, and became the third elder of the Pei family with a cold and serious expression again.

“Don’t try to fool me.” He looked at Yu Tang coldly, and immediately drew a small gap of indifference between him and Yu Tang. “This picture album was given to my father by my great-grandfather. Although it cannot be called a unique copy, it is also very rare. It can be regarded as one of our family heirlooms. If you don’t have the confidence and determination to let your shop specialize in flowers, don’t agree so readily, so as not to ruin my things. And even if your family does not specialize in flowers, I have other ways to make your shop make money. Don’t agree to me reluctantly at this time. When you go home and think about it, you will find many difficulties and regret it again…”

But did he give her time to regret it?

Yu Tang secretly complained in his heart.

She just reached out her hand a little late, but he was so sensitive and stern that he lectured her. If she said that his method didn't work, he would abandon her and run away, just as she expected, and from then on he would never care about their family affairs again, and might even pretend not to see her when he saw her.

Can she tell the truth?

The little girl in Yu Tang's heart was crying, trying to act cheerful. When she looked up and saw Pei Yan's sharp hawk-like eyes, she was immediately startled and dared not to act anymore. Her mind was working quickly, thinking of countermeasures while saying seriously: "I really don't regret it. I'm just wondering why you let our family specialize in flower patterns and have a book dedicated to painting flowers and birds when I didn't see any flowers in the mansion several times. I was so surprised that I was a little distracted."

Pei Yan's brows were still furrowed, but the cold aura around him had softened, making him seem much gentler. He said, "The old lady hasn't taken off her mourning clothes yet, so I think it's better not to be so noisy at home."

Colorful flowers are also lively? !

It was the first time that Yu Tang heard such a statement. She was too tired to complain and could only continue with a stern face: "Is that so? Then what kind of flowers do you think should be the main feature of our home?" Having said this, when she went to get the picture album again, Pei Yan did not stop her, but let her take the album away smoothly.

Yu Tang was surprised that he seemed to have forgotten to flatter Pei Yan.

She stroked the album in her hand as if to save it, and said, "I never thought that these albums were so valuable. Don't worry, I will definitely keep them carefully. After our painting master has read them, I will return them to you without any damage."

Pei Yan gave her a matter-of-fact look.

Yu Tang wanted to hold all these picture albums high up.

However, she also saw the value of these picture books.

Although I only glanced at the cover, the picture of the banana beauty on the cover was full of wildness and left a deep impression on me, and I wanted to look at it again and again.

Something that Pei Yan could call a family heirloom was indeed not an ordinary item.

Yu Tang was evaluating in his mind when Pei Yan came over and unceremoniously pulled out one of the picture albums. He opened a page in a seemingly casual but actually familiar manner and pointed, "What do you think of lotus? When I was a child, I drew a lotus with only a few leaves for decoration, and the rest were all lotus flowers of different sizes. I thought it was pretty at the time, and even those leaves didn't need to be used. I saw some red lacquer boxes with interwoven brocade patterns on the sky and the ground, and I think your family can also make such boxes."

The lotus is complex in itself. Wouldn’t it look cumbersome if everything was made to look like a lotus?

Yu Tang couldn't imagine what the box looked like.

Pei Yan sat down in front of the drawing table with a look of disgust and began to sketch the lotus pattern in his mind.

Serious people have a different kind of beauty.

Yu Tang felt it was amazing as he looked at Pei Yan, who was shining because of his seriousness.

How did things turn out like this?

Pei Yan... was actually drawing a pattern for their house!

If she secretly carved Pei Yan's personal seal on it, it would definitely attract a lot of attention...

Yu Tang couldn't help but feel happy when he thought about the little guy in his heart.

Just when she was afraid that she would laugh out loud, Ah Ming walked in quietly and said, "Master Yu's nephew is here!"

Yu Tang curled his lips when he heard this.

It seems that her eldest cousin doesn’t even have a formal name here in Pei Yan.

It is true that all things are inferior, only reading is superior.

Her brother's son must achieve fame and honor.

Yu Tang was lost in thought. Pei Yan said "hmm" without raising his head. Ah Ming hurriedly went to ask for help.

She had no choice but to continue standing there waiting for Pei Yan to draw the pattern.

When Yu Yuan came in, he was confused. He looked at Pei Yan, then at Yu Tang, not knowing what to do.

Yu Tang had no choice but to look at Yu Yuan and raised his chin towards Pei Yan.

Yu Yuan understood and stepped forward to salute Pei Yan.

Pei Yan still didn't look up, but told Yu Tang: "Ask your eldest cousin to sit for a while and tell him what we talked about before. I will be done here soon."

Yu Yuan looked at Yu Tang in shock.

This...this tone, why does it sound like he is giving orders to his...family members? His subordinates?

Yu Tang was no longer surprised. He remained calm and explained Pei Yan's idea to Yu Yuan in a low voice.

Yu Yuan was excited when he heard this. He said quickly, "Good idea! Good idea! I think we should run our shop according to Third Elder's idea. Even if Father knew about it, he would definitely agree."

Yu Tang blinked.

Could it be that Pei Yan gave his brother some magic water that made his brother think that everything Pei Yan said was good?

Seeing that his cousin was still looking silly, Yu Yuan became extremely anxious and winked at her.

Yu Tang suddenly came to his senses.

Since this idea was proposed by Pei Yan, if it fails, it will be Pei Yan's responsibility. Given Pei Yan's character and financial resources, he will definitely find a way to compensate the Yu family for their losses.

From the moment Pei Yan gave their shop some advice, the Yu family's shop was already invincible.

For the Yu family, this was like heaven’s gift.

As a member of the Yu family, Yu Tang always hoped that her shop would be prosperous, so she should be happy. But for some reason, when she understood her eldest cousin's intention, she just felt upset and not happy at all.
