So, after a brief struggle in his heart, Xu Fengyun didn't put on any airs. He just walked out to greet them with a serious look on his face.
Seeing that his father had gone out, Xu Jinmin naturally followed.
When Pei Sui's car drove in, he saw a beautiful figure standing on the stairs from afar. When he got closer, the beautiful figure was facing the clear sunlight, and the gentle summer breeze blew her skirt and hair.
That beautiful face with a bright smile and no makeup was so radiant at the moment that even the sun hanging in the sky seemed to retreat away from the light reflected by her.
Pei Sui's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes, which were naturally cold, were like a thousand-year-old iceberg melting, exuding warm tenderness.
"Did the journey go smoothly?" Meng Sheng stopped in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Um."
Pei Sui responded softly, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at the Xu family standing on dozens of steps. Because they were far away, he couldn't speak loudly directly, so he just nodded and bowed slightly.
He said to Meng Sheng, "I brought some things, they are in the trunk."
Meng Sheng knew that it was his first time to visit his uncle's house and he couldn't come empty-handed. It would be impolite, so he nodded and said, "I'll ask the housekeeper to come get it later. Go say hello to my uncle and aunt first."
"good."
After answering, he walked up the stairs with Meng Sheng and greeted Xu Fengyun and his wife again, "Uncle, Aunt."
After all, they haven't gotten engaged or married yet, and haven't received Meng Chengli's full approval, so he hasn't changed his way of addressing Meng Chengli. So, he addressed him in a proper manner, but his etiquette and attitude were very humble.
Speaking of which, Pei Sui and his Suixing Law Firm are very famous in Beijing, and even in the national and international financial, foreign trade, and currency industries, they are well-known, but this is indeed the first time Xu Fengyun met Pei Sui.
These eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to his elder brother Pei Yu, and their temperament is also somewhat similar.
But Pei Yu has been in the business world for so many years, and because of his tact, he appears to be more gentle, calm, and noble.
However, anyone who has ever gotten along with Pei Yu knows that he is not as easy to talk to as he appears to be. He is a natural predator and is full of aggressiveness.
Even though he sometimes shows an unruly and rebellious side, his ability to control himself cannot be denied or ignored.
It is said that a few months ago, the Chu family of Shencheng killed Pei Yu because of the profit of an acquisition project. In just a few months, the Chu family was like a stray dog, being beaten back step by step, and most of their industries were forcefully acquired by the Pei family.
If this continues, bankruptcy will not be far away.
Some time ago, the Chu family sent their daughter to ask for peace. Whether it was true or not, and how the matter was resolved now, outsiders do not know.
No matter how outsiders try to find out about things Pei Yu doesn't want others to know, it's useless and they might even be "chopped off" by him.
But when you think about how a large family business like the Chu family ended up like this just because of a momentary evil thought, it’s really sad to think about it.
Whether it was his manners and appearance, or his family background and education, Pei Sui was impeccable.
After all, Xu Fengyun didn't give him a bad look, and his attitude wasn't particularly cold. He exchanged a few words with him in the tone of an elder.
Pei Sui greeted Xu Jinmin gently and politely again.
When they had almost finished talking, Lou Shumin said helplessly, "You always like to keep people outside to talk. Don't you think it's hot? Come in and sit down. Let's talk about whatever we have to say."
As soon as the group entered the house, the butler had already led people to take out everything in the trunk of the Cullinan. There were more than a dozen boxes and bags of various sizes, and then asked someone to drive the car out.
While going to the kitchen to check on dinner, Lou Shumin glanced at the gift list registered by the housekeeper and nodded with a smile.
From these gifts, we can see how much Pei Sui values Meng Sheng and has no intention of neglecting him.
They sat in the living room for more than ten minutes and then went upstairs to the study.
Pei Sui had a relatively broad understanding of the affairs of the Huazhou Library and had also found out some things in the past two days. Several people discussed the matter in detail in the study, mainly because they were worried that the Gu family would do something behind the scenes.
Especially the dirty tricks.
Given the despicable nature of the Gu family, they are definitely capable of doing such a thing.
Furthermore, as for those political figures, it is an eternal truth that businessmen should not fight with officials.
You always have to know who your potential enemies are.
After this conversation, Xu Fengyun and Xu Jinmin also had a new understanding of Pei Sui. This man looked cold and aloof, but he had a plan and brains in doing things, and his methods and schemes were no worse than his elder brother Pei Yu.
"I have some connections with Pan at the Discipline Inspection Commission. I'll find a chance to have dinner with him in a couple of days and feel out his reaction."
As he spoke, he looked at Meng Sheng and said, "Shengsheng, you have to be more careful with Gu Ci. She's not a pushover. If there's anything, you have to tell me at any time, just like you did today."
"Well, I know, uncle, don't worry."
"Humph, I'll be at peace if I don't mind."
Xu Fengyun snorted and looked at Pei Sui again. "Please help keep an eye on her. Don't let her handle everything by herself. Come to the Xu family when you have time and talk with your cousin. We can add each other's contact information later. If there are any progress or clues, please feel free to contact us."
Pei Sui knew that he had been recognized by Xu Fengyun, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
His face remained calm as he nodded, "Don't worry, uncle."
After the discussion, it was dark outside and Lou Shumin asked Xu Pianran to come up and call her twice to prepare for dinner.
Xu Pianran knew Pei Sui's identity. When he came in the afternoon, she was sleeping in her room. When she saw him, she smiled and shouted without hesitation, "Hello, brother-in-law. My name is Xu Pianran."
To be honest, Pei Sui was stunned by her sudden call of "brother-in-law".
This identity change... is really a bit fast.
Xu Fengyun, who was standing next to him, glared at Xu Pianran but said nothing.
Meng Sheng covered his lips and chuckled softly. He glanced at Pei Sui, secretly poked his arm, and whispered a reminder, "Pianran is calling you."
Pei Sui came back to his senses, nodded calmly, and said in a somewhat gentle tone, "Hello."
Meng Sheng smiled and said, "Your brother-in-law brought you a gift. Go and take a look and see if you like it."
Xu Pianran opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Xu Fengyun felt embarrassed and scolded her from the side, "You are such a grown-up, but you still act like a child all the time. Come on, don't pay attention to her. She has the mentality of a child. Let's go eat first."
Meng Sheng suppressed his laughter and said nothing. He pulled Pei Sui towards the restaurant.
Xu Pianran, who originally wanted to check on her gift first, was suddenly hit on the butt. She almost screamed out loud and turned around to stare at her old mother with a pair of clear and stupid big eyes that only college students have.
He covered his "injured" buttocks with a wronged look and complained, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Lou Shumin didn't bother to care about her heartless and brainless daughter. She often wondered if she had given all her brains to Xu Jinmin when she gave birth to the brother and sister, which resulted in her having no brains at all when she gave birth to Xu Pianran.
But the age difference between the two siblings is more than a generation, and she really can't understand it.
"You're quick to change your tune."
"So what? I didn't call the wrong name." Xu Pianran muttered.
This brother-in-law seems much more reliable than the ex-brother-in-law. He is also handsome and has a good family background. He is simply a perfect match for her sister.
So what's wrong with her calling him brother-in-law?
He may be your brother-in-law now, but who knows, he may become your real brother-in-law next year.
