Chapter 18: Pei Zhou's Seniority
Pei Zhou frowned, looked at Du Man for the first time, and asked, "Who are you?"
Du Man's expression suddenly stiffened, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
Why are things different from what I imagined? Didn't Pei Zhou come here because of himself? How could he not recognize himself?
She calmed down and said cautiously: "I... Pei Zhou, you forgot that when I was a child, no, when I was in high school, I went to Pei's house to find you to participate in the school sports meeting. You said that you wanted to play games and didn't want to go.
do you remember?"
Chiyang didn't know if Pei Zhou remembered it, but she still remembered it.
That was indeed the case back then.
Du Man came to Pei's house to meet Pei Zhou for the sports meeting. She hid upstairs and looked at him from a distance.
After Du Man left, Chiyang asked Pei Zhou who the girl was. Pei Zhou said he didn't know him and angrily ordered the housekeeper not to let strangers enter the door of Pei's house in the future.
Later, Du Man was led by Du's father to visit the Pei family, and she learned that Du Man was the daughter of the Du family. Although the Du family was very different from the Pei family, it was also a wealthy family in the imperial capital, and the two families could barely be considered to have a good relationship.
That's why she felt this time that maybe Pei Zhou came here just for Du Man.
Apart from their mismatched looks, IQ, personalities, and family backgrounds, the two of them are a perfect match.
Pei Zhou's dark eyes were still confused and his brows were furrowed.
He really wanted to recall who the woman in front of him was and let Chiyang know that he was very handsome and popular "when he was young", but he really couldn't remember such an inexplicable person.
"I don't remember, I don't know."
Pei Zhou repeated it again, his voice even colder.
Du Man's body shook, as if he had received a huge blow, and he completely shut down.
Qin Yixue laughed at Du Man in her heart for having a hot face but a cold butt, but on the surface she stood up to smooth things over:
"I heard Huaijin say before that Azhou used to like playing games. I heard he was a professional player. He has never been in love. I can forgive you for not remembering him."
Chiyang raised his eyebrows.
Qin Yixue actually called Pei Zhou...Azhou?
Suddenly, she remembered the relationship between Pei Huaijin and Pei Zhou, whom Qin Yixue had just announced their divorce a few days ago, and her expression became strange.
Chiyang kept a straight face and tried hard to hold back his laughter.
No, she can't laugh, she has to hold back, she has the baggage of being an idol.
"Azhou?"
Pei Zhou slowly turned his eyes and asked.
His dark eyes were like ice caves filled with frost and snow, gloomy and cold, with a chilling light.
Qin Yixue was so frightened by this look that she couldn't help but take a few steps back until Qi Xiao supported her.
"Mr. Pei, we have to live in the same villa for so long. Why are you so fierce?" Qi Xiao tried hard to maintain the image of a gentleman and asked solemnly.
Pei Zhou sneered and said, "I remembered, you are Pei Huaijin's wife."
"It's me," Qin Yixue responded bravely, "but now we are separated."
Pei Huaijin is her ex-husband and the young master of the Pei family. Unfortunately, she has been married into the Pei family for three years, but she still doesn't know much about the Pei family.
She only knew that Mr. Pei had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son died early at the age of twenty. The second son was Pei Huaijin's grandfather Pei Tai'an. For some reason, he always had a bad reputation. The consortium and family property belonged to the younger son Pei Ting'an, who came from old age to have a son.
Pei Zhou stared at Qin Yixue with unabashed sarcasm in his eyes, saying word by word, "Azhou is what you should call me too? According to your seniority, you should call me uncle."
It's really outrageous. How dare Pei Huaijin's wife call him Azhou?
As soon as he said these words, the barrage suddenly went blank.
[What the hell, uncle? Boss Pei is the same generation as his father, the actress’ ex-husband Pei Huaijin?]
[Queens, don’t make trouble, this is your brother-in-law.]
[Please give me some detailed information on Boss Pei. I’m going to drive my family crazy. Even the male protagonist in the novel wouldn’t dare to set it up like this.]
[It is known that Queen Qin is 28 and Pei Zhou is 24. Who knows how old Pei Huaijin is? I spent a lot of money to ask for the film and called her uncle, for no other reason than it was cool.]
"Pfft——"
Chiyang finally couldn't help laughing.
Yes, Pei Zhou is Pei Huaijin’s brother-in-law!
Pei Zhou once told himself that the second master of the Pei family, Pei Tai'an, was the illegitimate son of Mr. Pei. It was because the uncle died of illness that Pei Tai'an was taken back to the Pei family. Soon Pei Zhou's father, Pei Ting'an, was born. Everything in the Pei family has nothing to do with an illegitimate son.
As for Pei Huaijin, he is Pei Tai'an's grandson.
Qin Yixue is several years older than Pei Zhou, but she ends up calling Pei Zhou uncle.
Chiyang tried her best to hold back her laughter. Seeing everyone looking at her, she kept a straight face and defended seriously: "Do you believe me when I say that I actually laughed because I thought of a joke?"
Pei Zhou curled his thin lips, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes, and asked: "What joke is so funny? Tell it and listen."
The corner of Chiyang's mouth twitched: "It's nothing." She looked at him quite funny.
[Laughing so hard, Chiyang’s current expression is me. 】
【Why do I feel like Chiyang knows something?】
[Pei Zhou really quarrels with everyone. Is a rich CEO awesome? He has no manners at all.]
[This is called quarrel? If Boss Pei is indeed the uncle of the Queen of Qin according to his seniority, then why can’t he say it? 】
[Du Man and Qin Yixue just now, who didn’t get close to Boss Pei first before being criticized. I think Boss Pei is different from Chiyang.]
When Chiyang interrupted, Qin Yixue came back to her senses, her face as dark as the bottom of a pot.
She originally wanted to use Pei Huaijin to get close to Pei Zhou, but she didn't expect that Pei Zhou would actually use his seniority to make matters worse. In front of everyone, he didn't give her any face.
Qin Yixue suddenly remembered that when she first married Pei Huaijin two years ago, she saw Pei Zhou for the first time at the Pei family's family dinner.
The young people at that time were even colder and more profound than they are now. They ignored anyone at the family banquet and only occasionally talked to Mr. Pei.
But he is so handsome, and he is the center of attention with every move he makes.
Even Qin Yixue, who is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, couldn't help but look stunning.
She curiously asked Pei Huaijin: "Why is that man sitting with Dad? I have never seen him before."
Qin Yixue clearly remembered that Pei Huaijin looked at Pei Zhou, the face that had always had a cynical smile on her face since she knew she was getting married, showing an expression of awe for the first time, and the deep reluctance hidden in her eyes.
"He is Pei Zhou, the son of my third master Pei Ting'an. He is the same age as me, but according to seniority, I should call him...brother-in-law."
"Pei Zhou is the only heir designated by the old man. Qin Yixue, the last person in the Pei family you should not mess with is him! He was the one who broke dad's leg, but you see, dad is still talking and laughing with him now...
"
Qin Yixue recalled Pei Huaijin's warning back then, and looked at the young man with cold eyes in front of her, who was talking "jokes" to Chiyang as if nothing had happened, and began to feel cold behind her back.
Qin Yixue's throat squirmed for a moment, and she stammered: "Little, little -"
