Upon seeing Peng Yuhuai's praise of the clothes, Peng Tian's face instantly darkened.
His father was his idol; he had become a vice minister in his forties, which was quite outstanding among his peers.
I never expected that the clothes Ye Beiping sold would earn praise from my father.
Peng Yuhuai didn't think much of it and looked up to ask, "Xiao Tian, which state-owned department store did you buy this outfit from? This clothing factory must be a big one. I must get to know them properly when I have the chance."
Upon hearing this, Peng Tian's expression darkened even further.
Even if Peng Yuhuai was only admiring Ye Beiping, Peng Tian wouldn't allow his father to admire him.
"Dad, these clothes are from Ye Beiping's shop." Peng Tian told the truth, hoping to make Peng Yuhuai understand that this man had a grudge against his son.
"Oh, it's Ye Beiping... What? Ye Beiping?"
At first, Peng Yuhuai didn't react, but when he did, his voice involuntarily rose several decibels.
Seeing Peng Tian's serious expression, he looked down at his clothes and slowly shook his head.
If it weren't for the fact that his son had a grudge against the other party, Peng Yuhuai would definitely want to get to know this young man better. Even someone like him who had been in the system for over twenty years admired his actions immensely; he had managed to earn money in a short period of time and then open a chain of stores.
And he's only in his early twenties.
Regardless of what methods Ye Beiping used to make money, his methods were at least much more honest and sophisticated than those of some people within the system.
Peng Yuhuai was no child; he naturally knew that a successful person could not possibly be so innocent.
Let alone people, even the methods used to establish the nation decades ago were...
Thinking about all this, Peng Yuhuai clicked his tongue, feeling that his thoughts were somewhat dangerous.
Upon hearing the name Ye Beiping, Peng's mother was also extremely shocked. She kept looking back and forth between Peng Tianhe and his clothes, and finally sighed deeply.
At the same age, others have such skills. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for my son to encounter such an opponent.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse, things have already come to this, so we can only treat Ye Beiping as a whetstone for Peng Tian.
Peng Yuhuai's mother was no ordinary person; she had seen people even more formidable than Ye Beiping. But an enemy is an enemy, and she understood that perfectly well. Therefore, she couldn't persuade her son to reconcile with Ye Beiping at this time—everything was uncertain—nor could she offer any support.
It hasn't reached the point where things are beyond saving.
If Peng Tian really loses, Peng's mother believes that with Peng Yuhuai's status, getting Ye Beiping to reconcile with her son is just a matter of a word.
He was just a country kid with no status or background. He couldn't possibly stand up to someone as powerful and influential as Peng Yuhuai, could he?
Peng Tian glanced at his parents, feeling a deep sense of irony. He gritted his teeth, snatched the clothes from Peng Yuhuai's hands, and went back to his room alone.
He left Peng Yuhuai and his mother with a heartless and hateful silhouette.
"Sigh, this child." Peng Yuhuai knew from his son's appearance that Peng Tian and Ye Beiping were now irreconcilable enemies.
Peng's mother comforted him, "Old Peng, Xiao Tian is upset. The girl he likes was taken away by Ye Beiping. How can he not be angry?"
Peng's mother deeply understands this point.
After all, her marriage to Peng Yuhuai was the wish of her family elders. Everyone has someone they like when they are young, but it is all arranged by parents and matchmakers.
But Peng's mother was also very relieved, because her family's choice was right. The boy she liked turned out to be a good-for-nothing, only good-looking. This also proves the saying that ignoring elders' advice leads to regret; one must be discerning when choosing a partner, as good looks are useless.
Peng Yuhuai sighed deeply: "I know, but Ye Beiping is also a very outstanding young man. Don't you understand now that Xiaotian is no match for others?"
It wasn't that he was deliberately saying his son was bad; after all, there are always people better than you, and as a vice minister, he wouldn't dare say his son was the best in the world.
We should acknowledge the excellence of others.
Peng's mother rolled her eyes in annoyance, saying that if her son was no good, she would definitely not allow it.
Why don't you become Ye Beiping's father?
“You…” Peng Yuhuai knew that his mother was angry, so he could only patiently coax her, “I didn’t say anything. Okay, I won’t say anymore. I have to go to work.”
Arguing with a woman is the biggest mistake he can make, and after twenty years of marriage, he knows this all too well.
Just as he stood up, he remembered something and said, "By the way, Xiao Tian came to my workplace yesterday. His secretary said that he seemed to be concerned about Qiu Mingyue, who is his girlfriend and is currently in the countryside. He wanted his secretary to find a way to bring Qiu Mingyue back to Hangzhou. What do you think about this?"
Peng's mother frowned deeply.
I never expected that my son would get involved with Qiu Mingyue.
But as shrewd as she was, she saw through Peng Tian's lie at a glance. Perhaps because Peng Yuhuai's words had provoked Peng's mother, she sneered, "It's just a small matter. Xiao Tian has already said she's his girlfriend. If we can help, we should." Besides, I think Qiu Mingyue is a nice girl. She's been to our house a few times before. She's polite and pretty. I think she's quite good.
“Uh…” Peng Yuhuai didn’t expect his wife to speak so highly of Qiu Mingyue. He shook his head and laughed, “Alright, the policy has already been issued. It’ll only be a month or so. I’ll go and say hello, and they’ll give me face.”
