After Wearing a Book, I Pampered Five Big Villains - Chapter 541
Chapter 541 Buying stocks and standing in line
Mrs. Pei silently watched the efforts made by the eldest son of the Xiao family for her daughter, and she was actually very satisfied in her heart.
What’s more, Xiao Junji was cultivated by her alone.
Originally, from the very beginning, this gentleman was a “gift” that she carefully cultivated and gave to her daughter.
Now Xiao Junji just happened to fall in love with her daughter, and devoted herself to her daughter’s career.
How can Mrs. Pei remain calm?
Therefore, when she heard that her husband was obviously standing for the Xun family boy, Mrs. Pei couldn’t help but say: “I am very relieved to have gentlemen like Xiao Shizi helping Fanyin.”
Xiao Junji’s eyes brightened slightly, and he looked at Mrs. Pei very happily. Great, the future mother-in-law seems to be very satisfied with him. This is really a solid step for him to pursue his wife.
Eldest Prince Pei Xuanzong stopped holding the chopsticks.
He turned his head slowly to look at his mother, his expression seemed a little astonished, but then he changed into a look of watching a good show.
From childhood to adulthood, he often saw his mother-in-law and father fight.
Honestly speaking, Pei Xuanzong quite liked watching his mother-in-law and father quarreling with each other, which was much more interesting than listening to opera.
Second son Pei Xuanting was terribly surprised.
He always felt that his father and mother should be dissatisfied with all the suitors of Sanskrit.
It turned out that his father was inclined to Xun Huan, and his mother was inclined to Xiao Junji?
Why are they all quietly standing in line?
For such an important matter as picking a husband for Sanskrit, shouldn’t everyone discuss it together in advance?
Pei Xuanzong thought for a while, imitating his mother’s tone and sentence pattern and said: “It is really reassuring to have a loyal person like Qisha guarding Sanskrit.”
Xiao Junji was slightly taken aback, thinking to himself that his future second brother-in-law was originally inclined towards Seven Kills?
Pei Yi also showed surprise.
She recalled in a daze that it was her second brother who provided Qisha with the “Ode to the Great Joy of Yin and Yang Interaction between Heaven and Earth”, and also gave Qisha the red-haired parrot named “General”.
Now the general is still fighting with the green-haired parrot “Dog Dan” all day long.
So her second brother is so satisfied with Qisha? Pei Yi thought secretly.
Compared to the astonishment of his younger sister, the eldest son Pei Xuanzong looked calm. He calmly reminded: “Qi Sha is the prince of Chu State, and has returned to Chu State now.”
The implication is that this kid from Chu country is unreliable at all, second brother, you stupid white sweet, are still talking nonsense there.
Pei Yi was embarrassed immediately.
For this meal, she felt as if she was eating in line.
Her father, father, elder brother, and second elder brother all seem to have different people standing in line.
Then, Pei Yi found herself receiving the “death” gaze.
The people at the table suddenly all turned their eyes to her.
Her elder brother took the lead and said: “Fanyin, which gentleman do you think is the most satisfying?”
As soon as these words came out, Pei Yi obviously felt that Xiao Junji’s eyes, who were sitting beside her, turned warm instantly.
She really felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
She didn’t understand, why did her elder brother ask such provocative words, he didn’t bring such a cheating girl!
Pei Yi clenched the chopsticks in her hands, and gave a dry cough to cover up her embarrassment.
Then, she seemed calm and said: “I am very satisfied.”
Her second brother laughed immediately, and joked: “Fanyin, you don’t leave anyone behind, everyone wants it.”
Xiao Junji immediately turned into a critical face. But he still remembered that he was in Pei’s mansion, so he had to pull himself together so that he would not look so sullen.
Pei Yi felt embarrassed.
After her elder brother asked the question of death, her second brother actually made such confusing remarks.
Can’t you leave her a way out?
Brother, am I still your sweet little sister?
Don’t you bring such a cheating girl?
Pei Shu felt as bitter as if he had eaten yellow lotus.
But she still had to put on an attitude of “I’m fine, I’m calm”, and defended in an extremely serious tone: “Second brother, I’m just discussing the facts.”
However, the second son, Pei Xuanting, was already burning with gossip, and couldn’t receive his sister’s distress signal at all.
He was still there and asked happily: “Then I will discuss the matter as it stands. There is always a gentleman around you who does things well?”
“If you make generalizations, you are hypocritical.”
“Anyway, everyone sitting here today is a family, Sanskrit, you might as well open the skylight and speak frankly—Which gentleman are you most satisfied with?”
Xiao Junji was comforted by the phrase “one family”, and his face finally softened a bit. He secretly comforted himself and said: This future second uncle should still approve of me. It doesn’t mean that the seven kills will have a little more weight in the heart of the second uncle.
Pei Yi has a headache.
Her family’s second elder brother really can’t open any pot and carry it.
Pei Yi was about to ask for help, but she found that no matter whether it was her mother, father, or elder brother, they were all looking at her gossip-no one was waiting to eat melons.
Pei Yi felt desperate.
In my heart, I have turned into a groundhog standing on the edge of a cliff and roaring loudly.
She decided to quickly resolve the current “crisis” with a tough stance—she must act fast enough, ruthlessly and accurately, and not give this group of cheating girls and girls a chance.
Therefore, Pei Yi put on a very serious expression.
She stared at her second brother, and said in a very solemn tone: “Second brother, what I just said was from the bottom of my heart.”
“No matter which gentleman is extremely capable.”
“No matter which man I work with, I am very happy and at ease.”
“Every gentleman’s ability and dedication should be recognized.”
“If others only look at them in a romantic way, it is tantamount to an insult to them.”
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people at the table were so exciting.
Xiao Junji, as the central figure of the topic, was really upset.
He felt a respect he had never felt before.
All along, he himself has silently regarded himself as Pei Yi’s man.
Although he knows that there are many people around him who look down on him—they ridicule him behind his back as a “little man” who clings to Pei Yi.
Even the elders of the Pei family looked at him with ambiguous eyes.
But he never cared.
Just because you don’t care doesn’t mean that you don’t have lumps in your heart at all.
However, today his little lady directly supported him—affirming every effort he made, and calling on others to look at him from an objective and fair perspective.
Xiao Junji was very moved.
He thought it was very sweet, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help curling up.
