The old man glanced at Pei Liyan and said in a deep voice: "There is a girl who looks down on you. Does it arouse your desire to conquer as a man?"
Pei Liyan knew that grandpa would make fun of him, so he retorted calmly with a calm expression. "Does grandpa also want to challenge the second spring?"
"You bastard." The old man was scolded: "How old am I, and you still want to make fun of me like this?"
Pei Liyan stopped making fun of the old man and glanced at the photo album on the table. The dark eyes on his stern face were as deep as a deep pool under the bright moon.
"Grandpa, is this all there is in this photo album?"
"Why, didn't you go to the safe to get it yourself?" the old man asked.
Pei Liyan looked at the photo album on the table steadily, frowning with his raised eyebrows, "But I remember that there seems to be one missing."
The old man's eyes flashed and he said: "No more, that's all."
Pei Liyan raised his eyes to look at the old man, and the old man's eyes also met his.
The two people looked at each other, neither of them said anything.
Pei Liyan was slightly startled, his eyes flickering. "Is the person really gone?"
Mr. Pei frowned. "I don't know. I told you a long time ago. I really don't know."
Pei Liyan saw that the old man was like this, so he didn't force it. He just said calmly: "Sometimes, if you can do a favor to others, just do something that is easy to do. Maybe you can accumulate blessings and live longer."
"Your grandpa has lived long enough." Mr. Pei snorted coldly: "If you are too busy, go to the hospital to see how your grandma is doing."
"I won't go." Pei Liyan's eyebrows were dull.
The old man frowned: "You still blame your grandma?"
Pei Liyan was speechless.
The old man continued: "I think Qiao Rui doesn't mind anymore, so why should you? Besides, Qiao Rui has also made your grandma lose any face. Think about it, has your grandma been very embarrassed recently?"
Pei Liyan squeezed out three words from his thin lips: "You asked for it."
Mr. Pei was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice unhappily: "It's almost done, don't go on endlessly."
"This is what I want to say." Pei Liyan said solemnly: "That's it, don't let it go on forever."
The old man's eyes flashed and he came back to his senses. "You guys have been waiting for this sentence, haven't you?"
"Grandpa, I don't want anyone to comment on my marriage." Pei Liyan said in a deep voice, which was both a declaration and a warning.
Seeing how serious he was, the old man was startled for a moment, and then said: "Are you serious?"
Pei Liyan glanced at the old man with solemn eyes, "When did you stop taking yourself seriously?"
"When someone is too ugly to look at, you are not serious." The old man was very disgusted and exposed his grandson's background: "You just judge people by their appearance. Now you see that this little girl is not bad, so you want to be serious. Hmm, superficial."
Pei Liyan was not angry either, but his eyebrows were dull, as if he was not the one he was talking about. "I have been serious about choosing from the very beginning."
"Liar." The old man snorted coldly, but he didn't believe it anyway.
Pei Liyan didn't explain, picked up the albums and walked to the small room inside. "I'd better put these albums in the safe for you."
The old man said: "You can just put it there, I will sort it out myself."
"Are you afraid that I will see another one?" Pei Liyan looked back at the old man.
The old man kept a copy privately and never took it out.
Pei Liyan felt that there might be clues that Qiao Rui wanted in that book.
It's just that the old man doesn't want to take it out now. He knows that it may be useless to ask.
The old man said: "Don't be too curious about some things, otherwise some consequences will be unbearable."
Pei Liyan looked at the old man carefully and put down the photo album.
"Grandpa, please take your time to sort it out. I'll go upstairs first."
"Go!" The old man didn't stay.
Pei Liyan came out of the small room and went directly upstairs.
Qiao Rui visited his room. It was very clean and there were no special marks.
It should just be a place to rest.
Pei Liyan probably doesn't live here often.
After Pei Liyan knocked on the door, he pushed the door open without waiting for Qiao Rui's permission.
When Qiao Rui saw the man at the door, she also said, "Can you leave?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Pei Liyan walked in and closed the door. "Don't like the old house?"
Qiao Rui shrugged. "If you were locked in the secret room here for three days, I don't think you would like it here. Look at this room, there are no traces of you."
Hearing this, the man showed an incomprehensible expression.
Qiao Rui caught it immediately and asked, "Have you ever been locked in a secret room? Don't you like it here too?"
"You guessed it right." Pei Liyan admitted directly. "I really don't like the old house. There are too many things trapped here."
"Isn't it freedom?" Qiao Rui was very direct.
Pei Liyan twitched his lips.
Qiao Rui was a little surprised now.
She pondered for a moment and then understood that Pei Liyan was the eldest grandson of the Pei family and shouldered the important responsibility of promoting the family.
He must have suffered some too.
This is probably some of the twists and turns that being an heir should go through.
Pei Liyan didn't say anything, he just stood in front of her, tall and handsome, with a light smile on his face, gentle and elegant.
But there seemed to be an indescribable tiredness hidden in his lowered eyes.
He seemed very lonely.
Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment.
Those who are in power are lonely, and so are those who are close to being in power.
At this moment, she probably understood the aloofness in his eyebrows.
Pei Liyan was silent for a while, and then said: "It's easy to break if it's too strong."
Qiao Rui is also smart, so she naturally understands what the man means. "You are saying that I am too firm on your grandma's matter, right?"
"Sometimes if you lower your posture a little, the effect may be better."
"No, no, I don't think so." Qiao Rui shook her head. "Your grandma chose my eldest sister from the beginning, and I am an intruder to her."
When Pei Liyan heard what she said, he understood that she had her own ideas and had already seen the current situation clearly.
"Even if I lower my head to humiliation and dust, I can't change your grandma's rejection of me. If that's the case, why should I suppress myself like this?"
Pei Liyan's eyes flickered as he stared at her. It was rare for a girl to be so transparent.
See everything so clearly.
"Besides, we are not suitable for each other in the first place, and I can't have any illusions about you. Naturally, I have to wake up and save myself."
"You have no illusions about me?" Pei Liyan's tone was a bit dull, and he felt very uncomfortable.
"That's right." Qiao Rui, who was rarely sober, said to herself: "In short, don't think about me trying to please any of you."
Pei Liyan raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you want?"
"Just do it if you disagree. Otherwise, if someone wants to hit me, do I have to put my face in to hit him? I'm sorry, I can't do it." Qiao Rui said righteously: "Don't say that your grandma bullied me, even if you are
Even if you bully me, I won’t agree.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly came over.
