Chapter 188: Prepare for a Rainy Day

At the same time, this video was also passed to Pei Ye’s grandfather.

"This is the woman Pei Ye likes. Is it because of this woman that he refuses to marry Miss Charles?"

The old butler who had been with him for many years bowed his head respectfully and said, "Yes."

The old man sneered, "What's that look in his eyes? No wonder, he is far inferior to his uncle."

Pei Ye is very talented, but Uncle Pei, at his age, has already made the Pei family the richest in Hong Kong City. Pei Ye cannot compare to Uncle Pei in terms of means or anything else.

The old butler stood respectfully aside without saying a word.

"As long as there is still one in this family, I would not want to use him!" Old Man Hull slammed the crutch in his hand.

The Hull family made their fortune by opening a casino. Their origins were somewhat shady, so they had many enemies.

The old man originally had three sons and one daughter. Over the years, not only have all his sons died, but he also has no grandchildren. Only this child is left by his deceased daughter.

The qualifications are pretty good.

There is also a very powerful uncle to help.

He felt somewhat relieved to leave the family to him.

Who knew that he was a love-savvy person and refused to get married, instead he insisted on falling in love with an old woman who was married for the second time and three years older than him!

If he could still have children, he really wanted to give birth to another heir!

The butler still didn't dare to say a word.

The old man was angry for a while, "I heard that this woman has a company under her name."

Butler, "Yes."

"Let someone find some work for her company so she can get acquainted with the world!"

"Yes." The butler took the order and went down.

Airport...

I came out of the bathroom after changing my clothes and it was time to board the plane.

Because it was an international long-haul flight, the first-class cabins were all private rooms. When I was led by the stewardess to my own private room, Uncle Pei's assistant just came out from inside to report on work.

When he saw me, he was startled for a moment, then hurriedly greeted me, "Miss Qiao!"

I glanced at him, then at the door of the box behind him, "Is Mr. Pei also on this flight?"

"Yes, Miss Joe."

When I take a flight, I have to say hello to Uncle Pei.

After putting my things down, I went to Uncle Pei's box.

Uncle Pei was not surprised to see me. He was on the phone when I walked in. He signaled me with his eyes to sit down first while he continued his phone call.

His fluent and authentic French makes people think that he is a pure F countryman if they don't see him.

Soon, Uncle Pei finished the call and looked at me.

"Go to Country F to attend an academic exchange meeting?"

"Yeah." I wasn't surprised that he knew what I wanted to do.

It's easy for people like them to know my whereabouts.

"You haven't eaten yet? Let's eat something together."

As he spoke, he pressed the bell for the stewardess to come in and take your order.

After ordering, I looked at Uncle Pei and asked, "Did Mr. Pei ask my dad again?"

Before boarding the plane, I saw a report on the airport TV that Su Yurou was invited to participate in a program as a new artist.

I really can't bear to see her getting away with it like this, so I came to say hello and also to ask Uncle Pei how Su Yurou is doing now.

"Your father said that in order to make the weak Su Yurou healthy, he gave her many kinds of medicine. He currently doesn't know which medicine can have such an effect."

"Or maybe all the medicines are working."

"I have already had people experimenting with those drugs, but it will take some time."

After listening to this, I was silent for a while and then said nothing more.

Although I hated Su Yurou very much, I also wanted Pei Ye's sister to get better.

Uncle Pei poured me a glass of champagne and handed it to me. "I heard that Song Yan was looking for trouble with you again in the waiting room?"

"Um."

Speaking of Song Yan, I suddenly thought of something and looked at Uncle Pei, "Mr. Pei's family's businesses seem to be competing with the Li family in many ways."

Although I focus my main energy on scientific research, I also have some understanding of business matters because I also have a company under my name.

"Yes, what?" Uncle Pei looked at me and raised his eyebrows.

"Mr. Pei wants to enter the mainland market on a large scale. Is the Li family your biggest rival?"

Hearing this, Uncle Pei's dark eyes became more interested, "Tsk, are you planning to join forces with me to deal with the Li family?"

I know that my thoughts are not enough in front of Uncle Pei, so I said honestly, "It's just a precaution. I want to see if Mr. Pei has such an idea. If so, maybe we can cooperate in the future."

There is no doubt that I am like a mantis trying to stop a chariot when facing the Li family.

But, with Uncle Pei, it’s no use trying to fight.

"Aren't you still obsessed with your ex-husband? If you want to deal with the Li family, aren't you just dealing with him?"

"Are you willing to do that?"

"I don't want to deal with anyone, I just want to protect myself. With Song Yan's personality, she will definitely not let me go. If she and I really come to the point of death, I want to have another way out."

I studied psychology, and I can see that Song Yan wants me dead.

She doesn't dare to move now, she's just lying in wait. Once she gets the chance, she will definitely kill me the first time.

So, I have to think of a few more ways to survive for myself.

"Do you have no confidence in Shen Yanci and think he can't control the Li family?" Uncle Pei raised his eyebrows, "Or are you afraid that he will become a real couple with Song Yan in the end?"

I lowered my eyes. "As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. I cannot put my safety and future in the hands of a man."

"Besides, he and I are no longer husband and wife."

I have confidence in Shen Yanci's business and think he can definitely take control of the Li family, but I don't have such absolute confidence in his life and in his relationships with men and women.

It's not that he is a playboy or a promiscuous person.

He is very loyal.

I also believe that he really wants to win me back and his love for me is genuine.

However, he is a bit too sentimental.

This kind of affection can easily affect his IQ. For example, he treated me like that because of Su Yurou.

Su Yurou can rely on the friendship she has with him since childhood and the kindness her mother showed in raising Shen Yanci, which makes Shen Yanci trust him so much.

Song Yan, who is at a higher level than her, might be able to rely on her status as sister-in-law and her husband's life-saving grace to Shen Yanci.

Let Shen Yanci slowly trust her, and pity her, be defenseless against her.

then……

Even if he doesn't love her, there is a high possibility that Song Yan will trick him into having something going on with her.

After all, Song Yan wanted more than just the Song family.

If she wanted the Li family to belong to her, she could only become a real couple with Shen Yanci.

Uncle Pei looked at me like that for a while, then smiled and said, "That's right."

"Don't worry, if the day comes when both sides are doomed, you can do whatever you want, and I'll be there with you."

Pei Shen is a businessman.

An ambitious businessman would be happy to take over the market share belonging to the Li family if given the opportunity.

I smiled and raised the champagne in my hand to Uncle Pei.
