Chapter 406 Inheritance
"No matter what magnificent and interesting place it is, if you carry it around in the front house and backyard all the time, you will feel bored anyway."

It was only after Shi Yan said this that the old man realized that he had forgotten to ask someone to take his granddaughter out to play these few days. He was not bored at home as an old man, so he forgot that young people like to go out for a walk.

For a moment, I felt that I was in the wrong, but I didn't want to admit it in front of the Shi family boy, so the old man slapped the chessboard and said directly: "Don't you want to play chess, let's have a game!"

Ruan Anxi hurriedly gave up his seat to Shi Yan, while Xiao Douding cheered Shi Yan excitedly: "Dad, you must help Mommy win back!"

Although the old man was bearded and stared at by his little granddaughter's eccentricity, he couldn't say anything. He only thought that he must be beautiful for a while, so that his little granddaughter would worship him.

It's a pity that Shi Yan is not Ruan Anxi. After all, he is a person who has participated in Go competitions. Even if his sense of chess is not as good as when he was a child, it is still easy to beat the old man.

It took only half an hour for a game of chess to come out. Seeing Shi Yan being cheered by Xiao Douding's neck, the more the old man looked, the more he felt that the young man was not pleasing to the eye. He coughed dryly to attract the other's attention and said: Since you are so busy, why do you still have time to play chess with me?"

Although the question was about playing chess, the implication was that Shi Yan hadn't come to see Ruan Anxi these days, and the deep meaning was to say, if you treat my granddaughter with such a "careful" approach, how could I hand her over to you? You!

Shi Yan naturally understood what the old man meant, and motioned for Xiao Bei to sit aside obediently, then took a document from the servant: "I have merged the Ruan family these few days, although it is not Ah Xi's house karma, but Axi grew up there after all, and it can be regarded as carrying the memories of her childhood."

He looked at Ruan Anxi with a serious face: "I know that Su Meizhen may not treat you very well, but Mr. Ruan treated you well back then, so I thought you might like this gift."

Even the old man didn't expect that Shi Yan would give away a family business as a gift as soon as he made a move. What's more, this gift is not only of material significance, but its spiritual significance is even more important. His eyes can't help but soften a little.

Ruan Anxi froze when she heard "Ruan's family", and stared at the thin stack of documents for a long time before holding back her tears, but her eyes still blurred uncontrollably.

Because of the existence of Su Meizhen, her childhood memories are not good, but after all, it is the home that carries all her memories. As Shi Yan said, besides Su Meizhen, it also carries the memories of her and her father, even if she is not. Seeking to get something from Shi Yan, there is no way to refuse this "gift".

Because of this gift, the old man's attitude towards Shi Yan has obviously eased a lot, but within three days he was annoyed.

Looking at the young people who came to the door according to the meal order, the old man slapped the spoon on the table directly: "Is the Shi family not even able to eat? Go to other people's houses every day to grab a meal. Do you have no home or something?"

The sarcasm in the words was almost clearly written on his face, but Shi Yan didn't seem to notice it, and instead said calmly: "Where Ah Xi is is my home."

"This kind of rhetoric is trying to deceive my granddaughter?" The old man snorted, "The Shi family can't even afford a meal. Will my good granddaughter go hungry when she marries?"

"I don't mind joining Pei's family."

"you you you……"

Mr. Pei really didn't expect that Shi Yan didn't even want to lose his face, "You" for a long time before he said sadly: "I really don't see the character of a man in you at all!"

Shi Yan helped Ruan Anxi fill the soup with a smile, and then answered: "Compared to Ah Xi, what is the strength of character, but if I marry, I don't know if my brother-in-law is willing."

Mr. Pei was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "brother-in-law" he was referring to was Pei Jingchen. The anger aroused by Shi Yan subsided immediately, but his face became serious: "Since you mentioned Jingchen, then I express personality."

His eyes turned around on Ruan Anxi's face, and then fell on Shi Yan: "Xiao Xi must marry the heir of the Pei family. If you want to marry Xiao Xi, you must give up the Shi family."

This can be said to be the biggest trump card that Mr. Pei showed, and if Shi Yan is really willing to give up everything he has now for Ruan Anxi, he has nothing to say.

Who knew that Shi Yan seemed to have heard some joke, and sneered: "I thought you had always trained Pei Jingchen as an heir."

The old man was obviously not satisfied with his attitude: "Of course I am most satisfied with Jing Chen, but..."

"But what?"

Shi Yan put down the knife and fork, and his face became serious. Across a long table, he was as imposing as Mr. Pei: "But Pei Jingchen is not your direct blood, so you don't worry about him, do you?"

Everyone knows these words well, but it is unavoidable to put it bluntly. Shi Yan seemed to have not noticed the dissatisfaction in the old man's eyes, and continued: "In my opinion, Pei Jingchen has been raised by you since he was a child. As a member of the Pei family, and you know this better than me, why do you insist on caring about the blood relationship and using marriage to hold him back?"

Shi Yan's voice was deep, and he hit the old man's heart word by word: "As a company manager, I think the most important thing for an heir is loyalty. If Pei Jingchen insists on taking the Pei family back to his mother's family after taking power, , even if you really lose a granddaughter, do you think you can control him?"

After the words fell, the restaurant fell silent for a while, even the sound of Xiao Douding's spoon touching the bowl could be clearly heard, Xu also felt the dignified atmosphere at the table, she also stopped her movements and timidly looked at Ruan Anxi.

The latter stroked her hair and gave her a comforting look. With just these two actions, the old man suddenly got up and went upstairs.

She looked at the old man's back with some worry, and said worriedly: "I'll go up and have a look..."

"No need." Shi Yan directly pulled him to sit down, and picked up the knife and fork again with a smile, "The old man's experience is only deeper than ours. The reason why he can't figure it out is just because the authorities are delusional. When he really figured it out, my The rival in love is completely resolved."

Ruan Anxi was still a little worried at first, but she couldn't help laughing when she heard the last sentence: "If there are so many things, I'll just ask you."

She looked at Shi Yan with a half-smile: "The reason why you persuaded Grandpa to hand over the Pei family to Jing Chen is because you don't want to give up the Shi family's marriage?"

Unexpectedly, Ruan Anxi actually listened to the words of the two of them. Shi Yan almost spit out the mouthful of soup in his mouth, and swallowed it after a while, grabbed Ruan Anxi's hand and said, "As long as you speak, I will go back and tell grandma immediately. To get married."

After making the promise, he changed his expression affectionately: "After all, I just said that my home is where you are."

Shi Yan's face has always been indifferent. Although he is very affectionate at the moment, it is vaguely disobedient when it falls on this face. Before Ruan Anxi can speak, Xiao Douding has already yelled: "Mommy, look at the little bump on my arm. Pimples!"

The voice was horrified, but Ruan Anxi couldn't straighten up laughing after watching it.

Although Xiao Douding doesn't understand his father's "affectionateness", his body is honestly covered with goosebumps!
Because of Shi Yan's instructions, Ruan Anxi also wanted the old man to give up the idea of ​​marrying her to Pei Jingchen earlier, so he didn't bother him all afternoon, and only knocked on the door with a heart until it was getting dark: "Grandpa ?”

The door opened from the inside in just two seconds, and Ruan Anxi was relieved when he saw that the old man was fine except for a little sternness in his eyes: "Xiaobei made a fruit salad, why don't you come and eat some?"

Although I didn't know what happened, but I was a little worried when I didn't see the old man Xiao Douding all afternoon, so he specially made the only fruit salad he knew how to make to make the old man happy.

Seeing that his great-granddaughter still cared about him even though he was dissatisfied with holding their mother and daughter together, the old man felt relieved after being stuck all afternoon: "Okay."

It's just that when the two of them arrived in the living room, the phone rang before they even had a bite of the fruit. Mama Wu picked it up and looked at the old man again: "It's the young master."

Unexpectedly, Pei Jingchen would call suddenly, the old man and Ruan Anxi exchanged glances before answering the call, suppressing the doubts in their hearts: "Jingchen."

There was a response from the other side, but there was silence afterwards. The old man vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but sit upright: "Where are you? When will you be back?"

"Grandpa," as if hearing the worry in the old man's words, the other side finally spoke, "I have something to tell you."

Ruan Anxi noticed that the old man's aura had changed, and presumably he wanted to discuss some important matter with Pei Jingchen, so she took Mama Wu and Xiaobei to the kitchen, planning to make a small fruit cake with the remaining ingredients for the old man as a snack.

Pei Jingchen didn't know the situation here, since he made up his mind to let go of Ruan Anxi, another matter made him more and more entangled.

And today the Johnson family's seizure of the throne has been settled, and he finally made up his mind to explain it to the old man.

The fight for the right of succession is really bloody. Not to mention that he couldn't attack Ruan Anxi at all, he couldn't bear to think about how much the Pei family would suffer because of his heir with a dishonorable name.

The old man didn't hear any movement, and he was a little impatient for a while: "I have something to say, when did I teach you to be so indecisive?"

"It's like this, Grandpa," Pei Jingchen finally said after being so urged, "I never told you that the relationship between me and Xiaoxi is all my wishful thinking. When I helped her go back to Pei's house, I thought, if It would be best for her to forget that Shi Yan fell in love with me, but if not, I don't want to force her either."

The old man's face was a little dark, and when Pei Jingchen mentioned it, he couldn't help but think of Shi Yan who blocked him until he was speechless in the afternoon, but he couldn't refute that the other party was wrong, so when he thought about it, he was naturally agitated: "Why? Say this all of a sudden."
