Ye Ziqing looked at the two of them and seemed to have made some kind of decision. Her expression was slightly softer, but she still maintained a certain distance.

Her eyes fell on her daughter, with a hint of helplessness in her tone, "Qing Ning, we will talk about it later. Now, you can leave first."

Ye Qingning and Pei Jingchuan looked at each other, and they could read a trace of confusion in each other's eyes.

Ye Qingning nodded slightly and said to her mother: "Okay, Mom. If there is anything you need me to do, please tell me at any time."

The two slowly turned around and walked out of the main venue of the banquet, towards the more private garden.

Their steps seemed a bit heavy, and each step seemed to be contemplating the meaning of this conversation and the possible subsequent impact.

Along the way, both of them were silent, and everyone's heart was full of thoughts.

Ye Qingning's heart was filled with doubts about her mother's sudden change. She didn't understand why her mother chose to withdraw the question at the last moment. Does this mean there was a secret or worry behind it that she didn't know about?

Pei Jingchuan secretly observed Ye Qingning's expression from time to time while they were walking slowly.

He could clearly feel that Ye Qingning's mood was much more complicated than usual, and her usual liveliness and cheerfulness seemed to be obscured by a layer of mist.

His intuition told him that Ye Ziqing's sudden change of topic was not without reason. There must be some reason. This reason may cause some pressure or distress to Ye Qingning.

On the other side of the banquet, Lin Ruoyun quietly observed the scene that just happened.

Her eyes showed deep thinking, and at the same time, she was also a little worried.

Pei Jingchuan and Ye Qingning were immersed in their own thoughts and walked slowly.

Their footsteps unknowingly led them to a relatively hidden corner of the banquet venue.

There is an antique stone table surrounded by several matching stone benches, a quiet and elegant place specially prepared for those guests who want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the party and enjoy a moment of tranquility.

Just as Pei Jingchuan and Ye Qingning were about to go around this corner and continue their walk, they happened to bump into Pei Tianxiong and Ye Wenjie, drinking tea and chatting there.

The two middle-aged men seemed to be engaged in conversation, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

Despite the differences in personality between the two, their friendship has lasted for many years and they have a deep understanding and respect for each other.

When Pei Jingchuan and Ye Qingning approached, Ye Wenjie and Pei Tianxiong immediately waved to them and invited them to join.

Ye Wenjie smiled and said: "You are here just in time, come and have some tea. It is quiet here and suitable for chatting."

Pei Tianxiong also showed a welcoming expression towards his son and Ye Qingning, with his father's unique tenderness in his eyes, "Qingning, come and sit here."

Pei Jingchuan and Ye Qingning looked at each other. Ye Qingning could feel the subtle aura exuding from Pei Jingchuan, as if he was in no hurry to join his father's conversation.

She understood that Pei Jingchuan had always kept a certain distance from his father. Although there was no obvious rift in their relationship to outsiders, Pei Jingchuan always seemed to try to avoid too much intimate communication.

Pei Jingchuan smiled slightly and said to Ye Wenjie and Pei Tianxiong: "Thank you, Uncle Ye, for the invitation. However, Qing Ning and I happen to have something to discuss, so we may have to leave first."

Ye Qingning immediately understood Pei Jingchuan's intention, and she quickly answered: "Yes, we do have some urgent matters that need to be discussed. Sorry, Dad, Uncle Pei." Just when Pei Jingchuan and Ye Qingning were about to leave, the banquet venue Suddenly there was a sound of brisk steps on the other side, and then an imposing middle-aged man appeared in their sight.

This man is the head of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Haotian. His status in the business world is no less than that of Pei Tianxiong and Ye Wenjie, and he is also the center of attention in social situations.

Ouyang Haotian saw Pei Jingchuan and Ye Qingning at a glance. A friendly smile appeared on his face and he walked over quickly.

His attitude was both respectful and friendly, and he obviously had high respect for Pei Jingchuan and Ye Qingning.

"Pei Jingchuan, long time no see. How are you lately?" Ouyang Haotian first greeted Pei Jingchuan with some sincere concern in his tone. His eyes stayed on Pei Jingchuan for a moment, and then turned to Pei Tianxiong and Ye Wenjie, "Mr. Pei , Mr. Ye, it is really an honor for me to see you two here today."

Pei Tianxiong and Ye Wenjie both nodded and smiled at Ouyang Haotian, responding to his greetings in a polite manner.

Pei Tianxiong's voice responded gently: "Thank you, Mr. Ouyang, and we are very happy to see you on such an occasion."

Ye Wenjie also added: "Yes, it is a rare opportunity to be able to gather with old friends here."

Pei Jingchuan expressed his gratitude to Ouyang Haotian for his greetings. Although his attitude was polite, it was slightly distant, which was similar to his attitude towards other people. "Mr. Ouyang, thank you for your concern. Everything is fine with me."

Ouyang Haotian noticed Pei Jingchuan's subtle expression, but he did not delve into it. Instead, he nodded and smiled at Ye Qingning, "Miss Ye is also here. I really admire her name for a long time."

Ye Qingning responded politely: "Hello, Mr. Ouyang, nice to meet you."

Although the atmosphere is friendly, there is an indescribable subtlety.

Both Pei Jingchuan and Ye Qingning realized that despite Ouyang Haotian's appearance, he was friendly.

But in the competition in the business world, there is always an invisible smell of gunpowder between the Ouyang family, the Pei family, and the Ye family.

This complex relationship looms large in their exchanges.

In this delicate atmosphere, Pei Tianxiong's eyes fell on his son Pei Jingchuan from time to time, with a hint of unnoticeable displeasure in his eyes.

Although he had always maintained a certain understanding of his son's behavior in the past, in such a public occasion, Pei Jingchuan's slightly distant attitude obviously made him a little dissatisfied.

As a careful observer and friend for many years, Ye Wenjie quickly noticed the change in Pei Tianxiong's mood.

In order to ease the atmosphere, he comforted Pei Tianxiong softly: "Brother Pei, don't worry too much. Jingchuan has great influence among young people now. He has his own ideas and practices, which is also a characteristic of the younger generation. "

Ye Wenjie's words were full of admiration for Pei Jingchuan. Although his voice was soft, it was clearly conveyed to everyone in this quiet corner.

He continued: "With all the resources, large and small, in his hands, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has built his family into the most wealthy family." This sentence is not only an affirmation of Pei Jingchuan's ability, but also an endorsement of Pei Tianxiong's godson. A kind of vague approval from Fang.

When Pei Tianxiong heard these words, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
