Chapter 361 Doubt

"You don't need to go in person for this kind of thing."

After all, he was raised by himself, Pei Jingchen knew what he meant when he said this about the old man: "Then you are here for a while, and it happens that I have an appointment with Lao Yin to see the garden these days, and I can't be too busy."

Pei Jingchen hastily agreed, and thought that today's conversation would end here, but who would have thought that the old man's next sentence would make Pei Jingchen's heart tighten: "I came back today and went out in a hurry, are I going to visit a friend?"

Since you asked this question, you should know it. As for where Pei Jingchen knew it, you don't need to ask too much. After all, there was Pei Jinwei who couldn't get used to seeing him run to Ruan Anxi's place, so she responded, "Yes."

The old man didn't mean enough was enough, and asked again: "That Miss Ruan?"

Pei Jingchen didn't speak, but it was obvious that he acquiesced.

The old man sighed as if remembering something, looked at him with some inquiring eyes: "Xiaowei...it seems that she doesn't like Miss Ruan very much."

When Pei Jinwei was thrown away and left, Pei Jingchen was ready for her to sue, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't come out to pretend to be pitiful and innocent this time, so he didn't beat around the bush: "Xiaoxi is my friend."

The word "my" is accentuated, and the meaning is very clear. As long as I like my friends, it is fine, and other people have no right to interfere.

But meeting the old man's eyes, he still chased after him in a calm tone: "Maybe Xiaowei thinks that I get along better with Xiaoxi, and sometimes ignores her."

The old man took a deep look at him and didn't speak for a long time.

Although Pei Jingchen can be called a young talent in front of others, he was brought up by Mr. Pei after all. Now that Mr. Pei doesn't speak, he really can't guess what the other party is thinking.

It wasn't until the tea in the cup cooled that the old man finally opened his mouth: "I think that kid is not bad, and he can be friends with."

Pei Jingchen didn't react for a while, and after a moment of stunned, he realized that the "children" in the old man's mouth referred to Ruan Anxi. He felt much relieved in an instant, and he lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

"But there is no need to be so taboo in the future." The old man poured out the herbal tea and changed it to another cup. "In the future, you can also invite people to come to our house to sit and let Xiaowei learn more from them, and I like it too That one is called small..."

"Baby."

"Yes, Xiaobei, that child is quite cute, bring him here to make our family more popular."

The old man said happily, but the refilled tea did not intend to be brought up. He turned his head and glanced at Pei Jingchen in a little surprise, and saw that the latter had a serious expression on his face, so he couldn't help but restrain his expression: "Why, I don't want to ?”

What he said sounded nice, but in fact he was thinking about it—"Leading people to come to sit at home" was nothing more than fearing that Pei Jinwei's jealousy would come true, and the successor he had so easily trained would be killed by something else. People hooked up.

So seeing that Pei Jingchen didn't speak at this moment, he thought that the other party disagreed with his proposal: "Could it be that your friend still doesn't allow me to meet?"

"No, what do you think?"

Pei Jingchen hurriedly said, then hesitated, and said: "It's Xiaobei, something happened to that child."

The old man still remembers the cute child when he was in the hospital. The two younger generations of the Pei family have grown up, and he is old again. He has no resistance to this kind of chubby child. Now I heard Pei Jingchen say He couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his words: "Child? What can happen to the child? Is he sick?"

"No," Pei Jingchen thought for a while, and still told the truth, "I lost it. Something happened to me when I left a few years ago, and I haven't found it yet."

"what?"

Now the old man's anxiety is no longer concealed at all: "How could it be... What's going on? That child is so obedient, and your friend is also very nervous looking at the child. How could you lose it?"

Seeing the old man's appearance, Pei Jingchen was relieved, and after talking about the matter roughly, he said: "This matter is always my responsibility, so I wonder if I can help..."

No matter what Ruan Anxi said, he was the one who picked up Xiaobei at that time. If it wasn't for forming a habit, Ruan Anxi wouldn't let Xiaobei alone for so long before realizing something was wrong, so he planned to do his best from the beginning. Do your best to get him back.

The reason why he hesitated in front of the old man just now was because he was afraid that Pei Jinwei would say something bad about Ruan Anxi while he was away, and kidnap the old man to her, and refused to help find Xiao Bei, so he planned to fool him first and use his own strength to help.

But looking at the old man's reaction now, he doesn't seem to have a bad impression of the mother and daughter, so he showed his thoughts a little bit - after all, the strength of the Pei family is much greater than that of her alone, and they can help I am more busy.

Sure enough, this time the old man interrupted without waiting for him to finish his sentence: "This is what it should be. If nothing else, just because that child is so well-behaved and sensible, this kind of suffering shouldn't fall on her."

Isn't this Pei Jingchen's idea, he hurriedly replied: "Yes."

The old man seemed to think of something again: "It's been so long, don't say they haven't found any clues?"

"I haven't asked in detail yet." Pei Jingchen hesitated for a while, and simply told most of what he heard from Ruan Anxi, "A few days ago, it seemed to be suspected that the Chi family did it, but there has been no evidence, so I should still follow this line. Look down the line."

"Chijia..."

The old man read it twice before he seemed to remember which one it was. He squinted his eyes and his tone was full of undisguised disdain: "How deep can the clown hide? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with this matter. The kid from the Shi family is afraid It’s an opportunity to prank people.”

After a pause, he continued: "When the time comes, you go to that kid from the Shi family, just say it's my intention, and give us their clues, so as to save you wasting effort."

Seeing that the old man really wanted to help, Pei Jingchen let go of the big stone in his heart: "Understood, then I will go up and show you the summary of work during this period."

After finishing speaking, he was about to go to his study room, but was stopped by the old man: "What's the rush, you go to sleep first to get rid of the jet lag! Look at your dark circles, do you really think of yourself as a superman?"

There was blame in the old man's tone, and Pei Jingchen hurriedly said: "It's just a matter of convenience, besides, I'm not too sleepy now..."

"Aren't you sleepy?"

The old man squinted at him: "Okay, Xiaowei is still in his room, go and coax him for me!"

Seeing the person on the other side froze in the same place halfway up, the old man was both angry and funny: "Then why is it your sister, can coaxing people kill you or something?"

"Not at all..."

Because of his identity, Pei Jingchen and the old man are not as close as ordinary grandparents and grandchildren. It was also at this moment that the old man agreed to help him feel better, and after a little deliberation, he simply poured out what was in his heart: "Grandpa, you may not know, Xiaowei and I... ..."

"You and Xiaowei had a quarrel, and you don't want to marry her, do you?"

Although it has become a well-known secret that "the heir of the Pei family must marry Miss Pei", it has never been said so clearly, let alone from the calm old man Pei?Pei Jingchen was instantly surprised: "Why do you..."

"You guys still want to hide that from me?" The old man snorted first, and then there was a hint of worry in his eyes, "You don't have that kind of affection for Xiaowei yet, and I can't force you, but Xiaowei's child seems to be I’m quite obsessed with it.”

Anyway, after being spotted, Pei Jingchen simply stopped covering up: "Actually, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, Grandpa, I always thought you didn't notice, Xiaowei...she seems to be a bit extreme, especially when she contacts me. Are you not very nice?"

"Whoever you come into contact with, just say it's that little friend Ruan."

The old man didn't save him the slightest bit of face. He might not have believed it after hearing this before, but this time he saw with his own eyes a different side of his "behaved" granddaughter, so he couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Pei Jingchen wasn't too embarrassed when he was exposed, he only talked about his plan and said: "I tried to follow her, but the effect was not very good, so do you think I..."

"Stay away from Xiaowei?"

The old man frowned and pondered for a while, and finally shook his head: "Now it's up to you to get that child back, even if you can't treat him as a lover, then take care of her as a younger sister, and I can rest assured .”

After all, Pei Jinwei is the granddaughter of the old man, and the other party's words were beyond Pei Jingchen's expectation, so he didn't bother too much: "I know."

After that, the old man looked at the teacup and wondered what he was thinking. After Pei Jingchen came back, he ran around a few times relying on his thoughts. Now that he had finished talking to the old man about a few things, his heart calmed down a little, but he still couldn't resist the turbulent drowsiness. Still sitting on the sofa, his consciousness was a little confused.

One second before he fell asleep on the sofa, the old man said again: "A few days before you went abroad, did you have any conflicts with Xiaowei?"

Pei Jingchen shook his head subconsciously. Just as he was about to draw his consciousness out of the chaos and think carefully about what the old man meant, he heard the other party say again: "Don't hang around here, go back to sleep."

The old man was left alone in the living room again, until the sound of Pei Jingchen closing the door upstairs, he slowly raised his head and looked at the door on the other side that had been closed all afternoon.

He knew that his current suspicion was a bit outrageous, but the intuition he had cultivated for most of his life made him have to think more.

When he was in the hospital before, he could see that his granddaughter didn't like Ruan Anxi and that child. If she didn't show all her emotions all the time, how much would she hate those two people if she didn't hide it?
In addition, she proposed to let Jing Chen go to the United States...

Although there are high-sounding reasons, as a grandfather, you can still tell that your granddaughter wants to be with Pei Jingchen when she returns to China, so why did she suddenly propose to send people to go abroad?
