Chapter 19
There are so many substitutes. After such an incident, the invisible barrier between the two disappeared. After breakfast, they did not go downstairs, but stayed in bed to play stupid games to kill time.
Pei Shuo never felt that wasting time could make him so happy.
"Pei Shuo, hurry up!" Gu Li saw him in a daze, and patted his arm angrily: "It's almost hit!"
"Coming." Pei Shuo kissed her lazily, and then concentrated on the game on the screen.
"Dead, dead!" The girl's crisp laughter came out from the crack of the door, followed by the man's lazy and teasing voice: "Don't blame me, you touched me!"
"Pei Shuo you..."
The servant blushed and her heart beat fast just by listening to this voice. She had been in the Pei family for so many years, and she had never seen the young master like this.
Thinking of the uninvited guest downstairs, she knocked on the door helplessly.
The voice inside the door stopped abruptly, and the servant spoke carefully: "Young Master, a guest is coming. The old master wants you to go down."
"I know." The indifferent voice floated out from the crack of the door, as if the joy and happiness just now was an illusion.
Bai Yuexi followed the grandfather to sit on the sofa, and her beautiful eyes glanced upstairs vaguely with expectation.
Old Master Bai looked at her with a smile: "What are you looking at?"
"Grandpa!" Bai Yuexi blushed instantly and glanced at Old Master Pei embarrassedly.
"Young man, why are you shy!" Old Master Bai patted her shoulder and said jokingly, "We've all been through this."
The smile on Old Master Pei's lips was a little stiff. The Bai family had always wanted to marry their granddaughter to the Pei family, and he was also happy to see his old friend's granddaughter become his granddaughter-in-law.
Unfortunately, Pei Shuo was very evasive towards Bai Yuexi and never appeared in the same occasion.
At that time, he would occasionally complain with his old friend that his grandson had no interest in love, but now it's different. His grandson has a lover, and it would be a bit embarrassing for Bai Yuexi to appear here again.
Seeing the girl's eager look, Old Master Pei felt a little pity in his heart.
Before he could open his mouth to comfort her, Pei Shuo's lazy voice came from upstairs: "Grandpa?"
Bai Yuexi looked over happily, but saw Gu Li standing next to Pei Shuo.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, and the smile on her face froze inch by inch.
Pei Shuo held Gu Li's wrist and walked lazily to sit next to Grandpa Pei. He bent down and picked up an apple, peeling it bit by bit with a knife.
Pei Shuo's hands were slender and beautiful, and his hand holding the knife was very steady. The apple peel was connected into a long section and finally fell into the trash can.
He cut the apple into bite-sized pieces, placed them on the fruit plate and pushed them in front of Gu Li before raising his eyelids and looking at everyone: "Why don't you say anything?"
Bai Yuexi looked at his hand steadily, and her heart skipped a beat when the peel fell into the trash can.
Panic, disgust, disbelief, all kinds of emotions overlapped and turned into shame.
She felt that her heart was like that apple peel, which was thrown into the trash can by Pei Shuo without any care.
Pei Shuo brought this bastard home. What did he think of Bai Yuexi and the Bai family?
Old Master Bai's face sank. He looked at Pei Shuo and snorted heavily: "A Shuo, you are too much!"
It's okay for young people to play outside, but bringing people home, where does it put the Bai family?
Pei Shuo smiled at the corners of his lips, but his eyes turned cold: "Why don't I know that I offend the Bai family by peeling fruit for my girlfriend?"
His fingertips tapped lightly on the coffee table, but his voice was full of warnings: "Is the Bai family so fragile?"
Old Master Bai's breath was choked, and he looked at his old friend with a sullen face.
Is this how the younger generation of his Pei family treats him?
Although the Bai family has not been as good as before in recent years, they are not immune to this kind of anger!
When Old Master Pei saw him looking at him, he could only smile bitterly: "The child is grown up, I can't control him."
Old Master Bai snorted coldly: "Brother Pei, does what we said back then still count now?"
They had talked about a marriage alliance!
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Pei Shuo said lightly: "I'm answering you, it doesn't count."
There was not a trace of disrespect in his tone, but his words were extremely cold: "Regarding my affairs, unless I personally approve, it doesn't count."
"You!" Old Master Bai was so angry at his disrespect that he fell backwards, and his tone became aggressive: "Brother Pei, you, the youngest of the Pei family, talk to me like this?!"
Old Master Pei's face suddenly sank. Pei Shuo was raised by him personally, and he could not bear to see others say bad things about his grandson.
"Brother Bai, do I need to remind you of what we said back then?" Old Master Pei said unyieldingly, "If the two children are interested, then they can get married."
He glanced at Gu Li standing aside and made the whole story clear, "Pei Shuo has never had any intention, and this is not the first day you've known about this!"
"Now you're using this matter to scold my grandson, do you really think I'm old and have a bad memory?"
Gu Li was the first person Pei Shuo brought home, and he couldn't let Gu Li misunderstand his grandson because of such an unfounded matter.
Old Master Bai's face turned pale and blue, and he laughed in anger: "Okay, very good!"
"Since the Pei family doesn't welcome me, I'll just leave!" He stood up angrily and turned to Bai Yuexi and said, "Let's go!"
Old Master Pei looked at his angry back, opened his mouth, smiled bitterly and didn't say anything to keep him.
"Pei Shuo, see you off." His voice was much older, and he opened the door angrily.
He was old, and his old friends were gone one by one, and now they were going to turn against each other because of their children and grandchildren.
Pei Shuo stood up and followed the two of them. Bai Yuexi unconsciously slowed down her pace and walked side by side with him.
Pei Shuo paused and walked away from her carelessly.
A hint of gloom flashed through Bai Yuexi's heart. She raised her eyes and looked at Pei Shuo, her eyes sparkling with water: "Pei Shuo, have you decided to be with her?"
Pei Shuo casually moved his sore neck and said lightly: "Who I am with is my own business."
His voice was cold, with a full sense of distance: "Miss Bai, you are very good, but we are not the same kind of people."
From beginning to end, he did not give Bai Yuexi any illusion, he had a clear conscience.
Bai Yuexi's pupils suddenly shrank into needles. She looked gloomily at the faint red marks on Pei Shuo's neck, and the hatred in her heart almost overflowed.
Pei Shuo slept with that bastard!
Her nails dug into her palms, and she could no longer hide the hatred in her heart: "Good, you're good!"
It turned out that her pursuit was worthless in Pei Shuo's heart!
"Pei Shuo, you will regret it!" Bai Yuexi looked at Pei Shuo with resentment and spoke with gritted teeth.
How much Bai Yuexi wanted to be Mrs. Pei in the past, how much she hated him now.
She would make Pei Shuo pay the price for despising her!
"Miss Bai, please feel free." Pei Shuo took two steps back lightly: "I'm sorry I can't see you off."
Bai Yuexi left angrily, and after getting in her own car, she saw the indifferent look of her grandfather, and her heart skipped a beat.
The anger on Old Master Bai's face was gone, and his voice was deep and cold: "It seems that the Pei family's path is not going to work."
