Chapter Seventy-Two: Pei Yanchuan's Domineering Nature!
At night, the Pei family's old house was brightly lit.
A pure black luxury car was parked at the gate.
The driver stopped the car and immediately got out to open the door for the boss in the back seat.
The first to get off the car was Zhong Yuan, who was wearing a light green suit, followed by Leng Yifan, who was wearing a blue suit.
After getting out of the car, the two stood respectfully on either side of the car door.
The last person to step out of the car was a middle-aged man with a serious expression, wearing a dark gray suit.
Leng Yifan and this middle-aged man were practically identical, the only difference being that Leng Yifan looked somewhat immature, as if he hadn't experienced anything significant, while the middle-aged man's face showed a much more ruthless side.
"Father." Under the pressure of his father's presence, Leng Yifan couldn't help but lower his head even further.
Seeing this, Leng's father frowned.
On the other side, Zhong Ran wished she could disappear from the spot immediately.
"Cheer up, everyone. Don't be so timid." Father Leng straightened his clothes and strode towards the door.
"Yes." Leng Yifan and Zhong Yuan were carrying valuable gifts, including medicinal herbs and antiques.
The gatekeeper had already received instructions from the old housekeeper and allowed people to pass through after verifying their identities at the gate.
The Pei family mansion was very large. The three of them walked for nearly ten minutes under the guidance of the gatekeeper before officially stepping into the main hall.
Grandpa Pei was sitting leisurely on the sofa, wearing glasses and watching a video clip of Pei Yanchuan and Xu Wang on his phone.
Since watching live streams, Grandpa Pei has learned some things from young people, such as the "one-click triple like" and "donation".
Grandpa Pei watched the edited video of the two exploring the villa with a smile, and occasionally he would share it with the old butler beside him.
The old butler watched with a smile on his face.
"Old Master Pei, it's been a long time. How have you been lately?" Leng's father's voice came from outside the door before he even appeared.
Looking at Grandpa Pei's current condition, he put away his phone, took off his glasses, and looked up at the door: "Not bad."
"It's good that it's not bad. I brought you some top-quality ginseng. You can use it to make soup when you have time." Father Leng walked up to Old Master Pei with a smile.
"Thank you. My eldest grandson also found me quite a lot of ginseng. Now the warehouse is almost overflowing, and I'm starting to get a headache looking at it." Old Master Pei waved his hand at the old butler and said, feigning distress.
Upon hearing Old Master Pei's words, Father Leng's expression remained unchanged; in fact, his smile widened: "President Pei is indeed filial to you, sir. I only hope that my son can be half as good as your grandson, and I will be content."
Leng Yifan stood to the side without saying a word, but his right hand was clenched tightly.
"Look at what you're saying. I think your son is a good kid too."
"Alright, stop standing and talking, sit down." Old Master Pei's eyes were smiling, but upon closer inspection, the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Leng's father sat near Old Master Pei, while Leng Yifan and Zhong Yuan sat towards the back.
"Who is this?" Old Master Pei asked, looking at Zhong Yuan's unfamiliar appearance with a puzzled expression.
"Hello, Elder Pei. My name is Zhong Yuan." Upon hearing the old man's question, Zhong Yuan immediately stood up and bowed his head in reply.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Pei seemed to be deep in thought and said nothing more.
During this time, the old butler poured tea for Leng's father and his two companions.
Father Leng wasn't in a hurry; he took a sip of tea and put it down.
Seeing that the others remained silent, Zhong Yuan grew a little anxious. After all, this was his family's company, and its success or failure hinged on this moment.
A hint of disdain flashed in Leng's eyes as he looked at Zhong Yuan, and he felt even more displeased with the person his son had chosen.
"Grandpa, I came here today on a whim because of a very small matter." Father Leng put down his teacup and looked at Grandpa Pei apologetically.
Old Master Pei's expression remained completely unchanged.
"As you know, my Leng family recently became in-laws with the Zhong family. I wonder what the Zhong family did to upset you, my nephew?" Father Leng asked with a smile, his hands lightly crossed on his lap.
"I, this old man, don't know much about this matter either," Old Master Pei said calmly.
“Well, this matter isn’t that big of a deal. If the Zhong family really did something to upset you, I will definitely have them prepare generous gifts and personally go to your house to apologize tomorrow. But to make a company disappear like this seems a bit too much.” Father Leng stood up and bent down to add a little hot tea to Old Master Pei’s cold teacup.
Grandpa Pei leaned back on the sofa without moving.
Leng's father smiled and sat back down.
Zhong Yuan was anxious looking at the progress in front of him. He felt like there were needles under his buttocks, and he kept shifting slightly.
Leng Yifan, sitting next to him, felt it clearly.
Leng Yifan glanced at Zhong Yuan with a sharp look. He thought the situation was like going to the market to buy cabbage, where you could just haggle and agree on a price.
Zhong Yuan lowered his head, his face turning deathly pale, and cold sweat poured from his clenched palms.
“Grandpa Pei, what do you think of the plan I just mentioned? If my nephew has any other requests, please feel free to make them, and we will do our best to fulfill them.” Father Leng sat up straight.
"I don't think so." Before Old Master Pei could speak, a cold voice came from outside the door.
"Young Master." The old butler immediately stepped forward and took Pei Yanchuan's coat when he arrived.
"Grandpa," Pei Yanchuan greeted his grandfather.
"Come on in, have a seat." Old Master Pei raised a hand and waved.
Before sitting down, Pei Yanchuan gently placed the bag beside him on the table.
"Grandpa, these are nuts and donkey-hide gelatin that Xiaowang asked me to bring you. Oh, and he also has something to tell you." Pei Yanchuan approached his grandfather and pressed the play button on his phone.
"Grandpa, good evening. Have you had dinner yet? I asked Yan Chuan to bring you some nuts and donkey-hide gelatin. Please take a little bit every day as instructed by the doctor. Also, remember to go out and exercise more during the day; it's good for your health." Xu Wang's energetic voice came from the phone.
Grandpa Pei's expression visibly began to improve.
Grandpa Pei held the nuts and donkey-hide gelatin in his hands, his eyes almost disappearing with laughter: "Good, good, good, Grandpa will eat a little every day."
After playing the recording on his phone, Pei Yanchuan didn't delete it; he simply turned off the phone and put it back in his pocket.
Grandpa Pei happily handed the things in his hands to the old butler, telling him to keep them safe and not to lose them.
The old butler only left with the things after repeatedly assuring him that they wouldn't be lost.
Looking at the scene before him, Leng's father rubbed his hands together slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"President Pei and Mr. Xu are indeed filial," Father Leng praised Pei Yanchuan.
"President Leng." Pei Yanchuan simply nodded to him, without even glancing at the two people behind him.
"President Pei, since you're here today, you should know why I'm here. I just spoke with the old man, and if the Zhong family has offended you in any way, I'll have the head of the Zhong family bring generous gifts to apologize to you tomorrow. What do you think?" Father Leng asked with a smile.
"Not so much." Pei Yanchuan calmly straightened his cuffs.
Grandpa Pei sat quietly to the side, not getting involved in the matter.
When Leng's father was directly rejected by Pei Yanchuan, a junior, his expression cooled considerably.
"Does President Pei mean that we must fight to the death? I don't think that's necessary. I guess the main reason for this conflict is Zhong Ran and Mr. Xu, right?" Before coming, Leng's father had already asked around. The only member of the Zhong family that Pei Yanchuan could contact recently was Zhong Ran. Unless Zhong Ran was stupid, he certainly wouldn't dare to be sarcastic towards Pei Yanchuan. That leaves only Xu Wang.
Leng's father never expected that Pei Yanchuan, this prodigy, would value Xu Wang, who came from a small family, so much.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? I don't think dealing with the Zhong family will lead to my demise."
"Thank you." Pei Yanchuan accepted the teacup from the old butler with both hands.
"Young Master, you're too kind." The old butler retreated to Old Master Pei's side.
Upon hearing Pei Yanchuan's unwavering words, Zhong Yuan collapsed onto the sofa. It was over, completely over.
Upon hearing the noise, Leng Yifan immediately turned around and tugged at the other person.
Seeing this, Leng's father's expression worsened.
"President Pei, you can't keep doing this, can you? If Mr. Xu has conflicts with other family members in the future, can you still act like this?" Father Leng was practically about to bring up the Leng family directly.
“Why not? He only needs to say it, and all I need to do is carry it out.” Pei Yanchuan raised his head, his deep blue eyes meeting his father’s eyes directly, neither humble nor arrogant, showing only absolute confidence in his own abilities.
"Alright, then I'll just have to wait and see. Old Master, we'll take our leave now." After saying that, Father Leng got up and strode towards the door.
Leng Yifan pulled Zhong Yuan, who had completely given up, to follow him. Before leaving, he took a deep look at Pei Yanchuan, who had a calm expression.
