Chapter 400



400 I want it

“Zhang Yiping asked me two things.”

Old master PEI thought of the past and smiled even more.

“One is the overall situation, while the other is the Wen family’s vision and ability.”

At that time, the country was about to fall, and the PEI family occupied two rivers. Although they had power, they could only hold on to a small piece of land. In the future, when the situation changed, even if old master PEI could hold on to the two rivers, the situation was still too small.

Although the Wen family’s status was low and was currently not compatible with the PEI family, there was a very important key point, and that was that the Wen family was rich.

besides, your great-grandfather is a man with great vision and ability. He started from nothing and entered the foreign business. He often interacted with foreigners and learned fluent English. With this, he quickly began to take root in the ocean Business, rising up step by step and accumulating his wealth.

Zhang Yiping saw his ability and decided to work for him after he graduated.

Wen Wu mountain was ambitious. He had expanded his business from Shanghai to Beiping. At that time, he said something. If old master PEI had tried his best to develop his business in the entire Liang Jiang River, and the annual tax was 60 million taels of silver, then Wen Wu mountain’s assets were more than 20 million taels of silver. This was equivalent to one-third of the PEI family’s annual income. Wen Wu mountain had only been prosperous for a short six or seven years.

Just based on this point alone, the young old master PEI quickly took this matter seriously.

At that time, he already had someone in mind to marry, but Zhang Yiping advised him with a heavy heart. Old master PEI’s gaze fell on the cigar in his hand, and his expression was dark and unclear.

“Yi, do you know what he said?”

PEI Yi heaved a sigh of relief and shook his head as he listened to his grandfather’s recount of the past.

“I don’t know,”

Old master PEI had only asked casually and did not expect an answer from him. He sat up straight and looked at his grandson lovingly.

“He told Grandpa not to be anxious. The good things will always be left for the last. Whether it’s marriage, women, or the future of the PEI family.”

PEI Yi immediately understood the meaning behind his grandfather’s words and the reason why he had chatted with him about these things tonight.

PEI Yi picked up the glass and took a sip. The wine was fragrant at first, but then a pungent feeling rushed to his brain. He held it on the tip of his tongue, and his taste buds enjoyed the extreme stimulation without making a sound.

Old master PEI was already old, but he was calm and composed. He was like this bottle of wine that had never been opened, with a unique color and a biting-cold spiciness.

Grandpa listened to his suggestion. In the end, you see. “The PEI family came here from Tianjin,” he said with a smile, spreading his hands.

Old master PEI slowly placed his hand on the armrest of the sofa and tapped his finger on the back of the sofa.

“I haven’t opened this wine since Zhang Yiping sent it over.” What kind of good things had old master PEI not seen before? When he was young, cars and yachts were very rare. Even now, many people did not have them. However, old master PEI had seen them when he was young. A mere bottle of wine was nothing to him.

The reason why it was hidden in such a place was that it had not been opened for many years. The taste of the wine was not important. The important thing was the meaning of the bottle of wine and the person who gave it.

It was because of Zhang Yiping’s words that he had thought about it for a few days and made the decision to temporarily postpone the engagement and wait for miss Wen for two years. It was because of this decision that the PEI and Wen families cooperated. Wen Wu Shan showed his excellent business talent and finally helped the PEI family to open a path of success in the era of invasion. He allowed the PEI family to move from Tianjin to Beiping, and then to the entire China, and they had the current situation.

And old master PEI had gotten a well-educated and polite wife.

you’re still young, only twenty-three years old. Your future is limitless, and your vision is still limited to a certain extent. He pointed at PEI Yi with the cigar in his hand. Grandpa, you can see anyone I want in Huaxia by sitting here. I’m trapped in this world, so I should broaden my horizons.

Old master PEI had his legs crossed. Even though he was over seventy years old, no one dared to look directly into his eyes.”Zhang Yiping has already left, but I can’t bear to open this bottle of wine.”

“I understand what you mean, Grandpa.” PEI Yi raised his glass and made a gesture to toast old master PEI. Old master PEI clinked his glass with his and took a sip of the wine in his glass.

The taste of this wine might not be as good as the wine he had collected, but he used this wine to taste his memories and life.

you’re a smart kid. I won’t object to you liking Feng Nan. His eyebrows were raised high, and his eyelids drooped to cover the expression in his eyes. The wrinkles on his forehead carried the marks of time.

“At our level, we don’t care about our birth status, but our character and conduct.”

Old master PEI put down his glass and stood up.

“I’m not afraid of you causing trouble. I can handle it.” With a smile, he said casually, ” “I’m not afraid of you squandering. The PEI family has a lot of money.”

He pointed at the surroundings of the study. He could identify the origin of every unremarkable item here.

“You’ve been throwing my things around since you were young.” If it was someone else’s house, he would have been scolded.

With old master PEI’s indulgence, PEI Yi had become lawless and unruly.

your father’s personality is too rigid. I guess I was too strict with him back then. He’s upright, serious, and serious, but he lacks the Tiger’s nature. At this point, old master PEI continued,

“That’s why I’ve been bringing you around since you were young. You can get whatever you want, like a little tyrant.”

Perhaps it was because he had been pampered too much when he was young and had never suffered any setbacks or blows, so after he fell in love with Feng Nan, the more she knew nothing about him, the more he pursued her. In the end, he could no longer let go of anyone else and was completely devoted to her, no longer looking at anyone else.

Old master PEI was not afraid of him making a choice. He was only afraid that he would regret it if he made a choice too early.

“I’m just worried that you’ve chosen the wrong path, and you’ll be in trouble for the rest of your life.” This was especially so when Feng Nan’s personality changed. He immediately ignored him and went after Jiang se instead. This time, he had given up and started to talk about their relationship that had lasted for several years.

“Marriage isn’t child’s play, but you still need to be determined. Yi, what do you want? ask yourself.”

PEI Yi spread his legs apart and rested his elbows on his thighs. He lowered his head and looked at his reflection on the ground, which was holding a glass of wine.

The alcohol content of this aged wine was not low, and it had been left there for many years. The alcohol was extremely overbearing. After drinking one cup, he was already slightly smoked. At this time, his head was hot, and his instinctive feelings were greater than his rationality.

What did he want? Old master PEI’s words made him ask himself the same question.

He wanted the girl who had played with him when they were young. He wanted the girl who knew that he was overbearing and impulsive, but who was like flowing water, who silently accepted him.

He liked to see her confident look, liked to see her acting coquettishly, wanted to hold her in his arms, to see her calmly take out a mirror in front of him to apply lipstick, and liked to hear her call his name in a sweet voice. All of these made him feel numb all over, as if he had been electrocuted.
