Pei Xian stayed alone in the huge main hall. He saw a lot of luxurious and dazzling decorations as in his last life. He went straight to the small rest area under the French window, poured a cup of fragrant rose tea and quietly watched the fawns hopping, peacocks strutting and sparrows quarreling outside the window; feeling happy and content.
In autumn, the sun was bright and warm. It shone on him like splendid gold plating.
When Wen Zhuo strutted down the stairs with head held high, he saw this peaceful and beautiful painting . Pei Xian’s side profile looked gentler and softer like water than Xiao Yuhang’s. It was no wonder Gu Han was crazy by this distraction and confessed this was his true love in this life. At once, his (WZ) jealous eyes felt like bleeding.
It was not until someone came to the table that Pei Xian pulled back his turbulent thoughts from the blue sky and white clouds, and looked up at Wen Zhuo with a bit of dullness as his face was written with “who is this?” sentence. The protagonist of this book is Zhou Kai. There are fewer chances for Madame Gu to show her face, let alone other passers-by a in the Gu Family.
“You don’t need to know who I am,” said Wen Zhuo coldly. “You won’t have anything to do with Gu family after today. It would better for you to take time seeing such a beautiful place, because I’m afraid you’ll never see it again in your life.”
Pei Xian seldom used his brain as to recuperate his injured soul after transmigrating, so the reflex arc often ran away from home . After a while, he understood that this was probably someone wanting to find fault with him.
When he thought about it, he could also understand why Xiao Yuhang was far away from home (country) and that he even chose to go abroad to work. It was not easy to send a fake to the door as not to allow the whole family to dispatch troops and bury his glory. It was like killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
However, Gu Han’s attitude was very clear; my mother is mine to deal with, as for others, you can tell them to scram . Well… In any case, his boyfriend service trip was for the five female tigers and male was not in the bill.
Pei Xian continued to drink his tea gracefully and quietly, and then turned his head to continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the window, looking as if nothing happened.
Wen Zhuo was a bit dumbfounded. This mouthful of nails he ate could not be swallowed or spit it out. He was embarrassed and at a loss of what to do after he was left in place and treated as air by the other person.
He ground his molars and unbuttoned his suit before he sat down on the opposite side. “How long have you known Gu Han? Brother Gu Han and I have played together since childhood.”
Pei Xian sighed in his heart; sending people a head [1] was really troublesome and not accepting it would not even do. “I’ve known Mr. Gu for two weeks.”
“Hahaha…” Wen Zhuo convulsed with laughter and internally thought, “Slag! He is only a little mouse that hasn’t even been out of the sewer for two days.”
He put his hand on the tea table to show an exquisite wristwatch. “You may not know but Brother Gu Han doted on me very much. After I graduated three years ago, he especially custom-made a branded watches for me. Is it nice?”
Pei Xian was bored to death. His fingers slid slowly over the tea table. “Jaeger’s master series, from 70k, 170k to 870k; they all looks almost the same. So, inevitably there will be people who always say that theirs is girdled with tourbillon.”
Wen Zhuo was afraid of being found out and slowly drew back his arm. Impossible, the sewer boy knew how to look at the brand of watch? Don’t kid me; he might not even know where the shop is opened!
He continued to be a dead duck and reluctant to admit his mistake, “Of course, what Brother Gu Han gifted me is the first grade Tourbillon watches.”
“Mr. Anonymous, I suggest you kill Gu Han on the spot.” Pei Xian unintentionally raised his right hand, which had been concealed from the beginning; he was a left-handed man. There was a piece of Jaeger’s Ultrathin Moon on his right wrist. “He probably likes you so much that he especially transmigrated to three years ago to give you this last year’s released model.”
In the morning, Gu Han had asked him to choose one from his collection of watches to wear. Pei Xian was thinking that he had to face five moms and it would not be good for him to display ostentatiously, so he chose a relatively low-key Jaeger.
It was not terrible for people to compare, but it was embarrassing for those who talk nonsense. At a glance, on Pei Xian’s wrist was a 700-800k worth but Wen Zhuo lied and flaunted with his visual inspection that the piece of mid-grade model was at most 200-300k.
Young Master Wen, who was forced to turn over the car [2] covered his wrist in a panic as his face turned blue and white with anger. “What’s the big deal? Don’t you just rely on yourself looking like Xiao Yuhang?!”
“That’s right, what about it?” Pei Xian replied calmly as he went to lean against the sofa and didn’t even lift his eyelids. It was not worth his life to die from excess anger.
This was the other side of Pei Xian, which Gu Han had never seen. Ice-cold and harsh outsiders were rubbish in his eyes, which made them have no value for him to look hard at.
“You, you…. Isn’t it just a piece of lousy watch?” Wen Zhuo was still too inexperienced to be provoked by Pei Xian that he talked incoherently. “The things that Brother Gu Han sent me from childhood to adulthood can’t be piled here. Sure enough, you come out from a house without a threshold [3] . What a loathsome show off!”
Pei Xian barely gave him a look as he took out the black gold card that Gu Han had taken back and carelessly flipped it to the back at the gold stamped signature, then with a bitch attitude, he cut a piece of rose perfumed paper with the card.
Wen Zhuo seemed to have been struck by infinite thunder; even his father didn’t have the unlimited black gold card. Eldest Uncle had one, but his Eldest Aunt He Manyun, not to mention the master card, she did not even use the supplementary card.
Whoever this card was given to, it was the default of ‘you make me went bankrupt, I acknowledged it’. It was unconditional and unlimited love and trust. Wen Zhuo felt that he had been left in place with more than 200 slaps to the mouth that his face was burning.
Even Xiao Yuhang’s substitute could be treated like this. Meanwhile, he was a good-looking Young Master of the Wen family and grew up with Gu Han, in the end he did not get a damn thing! Bullying people was also not like this!
Ultimately, Wen Zhuo completely tore off his face, crossed the small round tea table, grabbed the black gold card and threw it on the table as he shouted abuses, “You thief! Thief! Did you steal it? I’m going to call the police!”
“Why are you being noisy?” Madame Gu, who came down the stairs snapped harshly, which restrained Wen Zhou.
Behind her was her second younger sister He Manyun with an ashen face, who doubted her husband family’s intelligence. How could one give birth to such an idiot who lose his cool!
“Madame Gu, he stole Brother Gu’s credit card.” Wen Zhuo went so crazy that he didn’t pay attention to his Eldest Aunt who was constantly sending him cryptic expression and started to nip people.
He Manyun really couldn’t stand it and opened her mouth to counsel him. “Wen Zhuo, there are seniors here. What are you, the junior shouting about?”
Madame Gu looked back at her thoughtfully and the other three sisters immediately stopped their whispering.
“Who’s talking nonsense here? I gave the card to Pei Xian.” Gu Han was punished protracted kneeling by his mother. He heard the clamors outside from the Buddhist hall entrance and rushed down.
“B-B-Brother Gu Han.” Wen Zhuo who was angry, softened immediately as soon as he saw Gu Han, and called out with great care.
"
"
Gu Han glanced at him coldly and went straight to Pei Xian. “What’s happened?”
The initially arrogant and mean face of Pei Xian didn’t have much expression; only the fierceness inside his eyes retreated, which appeared gentle and tranquil. He said quietly, “There’s nothing to talk about. Wen- shao [4] was just a little bit excited, nothing more.”
Pei Xian rolled his eyes internally; who will not bluff? He had been cautiously and conscientiously pretending for more than 20 years; pretending to be like nature itself, which penetrated deep into his bone marrow. He had wanted to be a salted fish [5] without aspiration that his insistence compelled his corpse to bring about a change of his fortunes.
It’s too belittled; this is an expert ah. He Manyun’s heart was pounding. Before she could figure out how to save the situation, Wen Zhuo had jumped into Pei Xian’s pit.
“Who is talking to you, you second-hand fake? You deserve it!” Wen Zhuo didn’t care about everyone’s face as he scolded Pei Xian so much so that he indirectly scolded Gu Han and Madame Gu. Gu Han found the second-hand fake and Madame Gu invited the second-hand fake to have a meal; without distinction, the stick swept all.
As they were so close, Wen Zhuo was practically spraying Pei Xian with saliva. He looked very fierce, as if he would start beating next second.
Pei Xian took the advantage to lean against Gu Han’s bosom, as if frightened. His expression was consistently lack and plain, but the glistening teardrops in his eyes made him looked particularly pitiful and innocent. He took the opportunity to turn against the crowd and looked up very secretly as he winked at Gu Han.
Gu Han understood at once and took two steps back from him before he spoke calmly under the pressure of anger, “Ma and aunties, I’m sorry to make such a mess, but I’m afraid today’s meal will not be peaceful. We’ll go home first and invite everyone for a meal another day.”
Madame Gu seemed to notice their little movements out of the corner of her eyes, but she didn’t expose them or persuade them to stay. The scene was really unsightly. “Gu Han, remember when you are back home, kneel enough time as you didn’t kneel enough.”
Gu Han had taken Pei Xian to the door and when he heard that, he turned his head and respectfully replied: “I know.”
“Wen Zhuo, are you crazy?” As soon as He Manyun saw Gu Han became hostile and with her Eldest Sister being too profound to be understood, she knew that the play was a complete failure. She hurried down in three or two steps and asked someone to persuade her hysterical nephew to leave.
Madam Gu spent the time sitting on the sofa while drinking tea with her first younger sister, third younger sister and fourth younger sister as they awaiting for lunch. It was not until He Manyun comforted and sent Wen Zhuo back, that they brought forth the topic.
“Henceforth, don’t invite outsiders to come our home for a meal. It makes Hanhan unhappy. There is nothing good for you to go back to Wen family either.” Madam Gu put down her tea cup and told off her second sister directly.
What He Manyun had said to Wen Zhuo was 30% true and 70% lies. Madam Gu didn’t like the unfathomable and mysteriously appeared Pei Xian, but she never meant to marry her son with the Wen family. It was only the wishful thinking of He Manyun and the Wen family.
“Eldest sister, you can’t say it like that. If I didn’t give you the lead, would you know that this person who came has a fierce [6] character? Wen Zhuo’s character is simply one who doesn’t tolerate a flaw and will do his best. Alas, he is a good boy.” He Manyun was not angry.
In the beginning, they discussed about it and she proposed to take Wen Zhuo to have a meal with together. Her Eldest Sister was noncommittal about it and only moving front and back there, thinking of allowing him to test Gu Han. It was really a cheap bargain that sold well!
“I don’t think this kid is ordinary, he can make Wen Zhuo angered to that degree?” Third younger sister looked sincere as she shook her head.
Fourth younger sister was unable to restrain and advised: “Eldest sister, the younger generations will do all right on their own. It is not good for us to meddle in the come and go of the youngsters’ love, right?”
Madame Gu gently rubbed the pattern of the cup’s body. “Fierce has fierceness advantage.”
The four younger sisters: ???
“I’m afraid that Hanhan’s little love towards Xiao Yuhang still has not died, so it’s good to have a fierce disturbance .” Madame Gu sipped her tea very elegantly, “Pei Xian, right? I think he would do.”
He Manyun was convinced that her eldest sister’s level was not comparable to that of ordinary people. Was she thinking of when shepherds quarrel, the wolf had a winning game?!
The black Rolls Royce Phantom drove steadily up the ring expressway as the two people who escaped death were paralyzed in the leather seats. To run way after the play was over in front of his mother and four aunts were really damn exciting!
Both of them were sweating. Gu Han had a secret system in him, which must be bound with Pei Xian and could not be spoken off. At this moment, Pei Xian was completely floating. He had never been so unbridled in his last life and was deeply impressed by his exquisite acting skills.
“It’s so exciting. My heart beats fast.” Pei Xian leaned back in his seat and pulled open his meticulously arranged collar to the side.
Gu Han gave him a look that said ‘so skillful’. “So do I. If you don’t believe, feel it.”
Their arms crossed as they touched each other’s chest and their hearts beating ‘thump thump’ against the palms like a pair of fleeing mandarin ducks [7] .
“I haven’t even seen the duck and almost got beaten up.” Pei Xian sighed, a little traumatized. “Mr. Gu, please outsource this kind of business next time. My ability is limited.”
“I’m sorry. I also don’t know why Wen Zhuo was there? He wasn’t like that when he was a kid?” Gu Han caressed the soft hair on Pei Xian’s forehead and muttered, “ Huluhulu hair [8] , don’t be scared.”
After the sweating, his forehead felt cold and the other man’s hot hand felt very comfortable. Pei Xian squinted and rubbed his eyes, as if he wanted to sleep again.
When Gu Han saw that he was about to be pulled to sleep, he said with ill will, “it’s probably not over yet.”
“Ah???” Pei Xian completely woke up, jumped up and hugged his arm, “Bro, let’s discuss it, can I refund you?”
“Dream on!” Gu Han smiled tyrannically and lifted Pei Xian’s small white chin. “If you want to refund, it cannot be a point less than 27.03 million, then bring on!”
Pei Xian, who was greedy for money and mistakenly boarded the pirate ship, was struck dumb. He pulled away the other man’s arm and bowed his head in silence for a while before he pulled out his mobile phone. It was unknown what he was doing.
“Are you being angry?” Gu Han was being cheap and came over to have a look….
At this time, Pei Xian was chatting with the customer service of the famous high-end online take out Duck Club [9] .
[ Hello, do you have any ducks that look like Xiao Yuhang? I want one with a good character, thick-skinned and willing to have a bitch fight. You decide the price, I have money. I want a long term package. ]
“Pei! Xian!” The top Gu Han’s head spat out True Fire [10] . He wanted to hang him up and beat him up.
Pei Xian dodged to the left and right in the narrow carriage. While looking innocent, he said, “You don’t want to refund, can’t I subcontract my project?”
