To be honest, when he first saw Jiang Li, he felt pleased with her.
Pei Zhi has always had his eyes set above his head, and there are actually very few people who please him at first sight.
Pei Zhi didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around, closed the curtain and opened the door without hesitation.
He was halfway through his steps, but he realized something, put the thick stack of envelopes on the table in his arms, closed the door, and left quickly.
Hanshuiyuan.
It was dark at night, and Pei Zhi was sitting alone in front of the window, wearing only a large cloak. The window was wide open, and the cold wind was blowing, but Pei Zhi seemed to be unable to feel it, and drank the wine in his hand.
There was the sound of stepping on snow outside the yard, but Pei Zhi did not raise his eyes.
Yuan Jing's voice came with a hint of smile: "Azhi, why are you sitting here drinking alone?"
He also sat unceremoniously on the window edge, blocking out the snow outside.
Pei Zhi ignored him. He couldn't see through his various actions tonight.
Seeing that he didn't want to talk, Yuan Jing's smile became more obvious: "Azhi, I'm afraid the only one who can make you do this is the young lady."
Pei Zhi has always been a cold-blooded person. Today he was in Washington, and he could vaguely see that the eldest son of the Hua family seemed to be interested in Jiang Li.
Last time, when he just mentioned that aspect, Pei Zhi looked annoyed. Yuan Jing knew that Pei Zhi's feelings were definitely not clear.
If he really didn't like it, he would deny it directly and definitely not be angry. The way he looks now, it seems that he is angry from embarrassment.
He has been with Pei Zhi for so long, and sometimes he feels that he knows Pei Zhi better than he does himself.
Pei Zhi's idea was simply his own, but he hadn't discovered it yet.
When Pei Zhi heard Yuan Jing's words, his fingertips tightened.
Yuan Jing keenly noticed that the folding fan unfolded with a "pop" sound, and he was indeed right.
He picked up the wine on Pei Zhi's desk and took a pot. A bold guess: "What, you two had a quarrel?"
Could it be that Mr. Hua showed something to Jiang Li and Pei Zhi is now jealous?
Speaking of which, he can be considered very proud of his relationship today.
In the past, he and Hua Yue had some unpleasant quarrels, but this time when they came back, Hua Yue seemed to have figured it out. He was a little nervous with himself and spoke in a cryptic way. Go down and try it.
As long as Hua Yue is willing to take this step, he will walk the rest of the way by himself.
Thinking of this, a sweet smile appeared on Yuan Jing's face. He came to his senses and continued seriously: "Azhi, are you the eldest son of the Hua family?"
When Pei Zhi heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at him.
Yuan Jing seemed to be deliberately showing off his words at this moment, but he didn't say anything out loud.
Pei Zhi said angrily: "What do you want to say?"
Yuan Jing snorted when he saw his appearance.
He was obviously afraid in his heart that someone would snatch his little girl away, but on the surface he pretended to be generous and indifferent.
This is nothing like Pei Zhi.
"I can see that Hua Tingye is more than just a brother and sister to Jiang Li. Most of the gifts he sent today were personally selected by him."
Yuan Jing came closer and said in a mean tone: "Azhi, although that eldest son is likely to become my uncle in the future, my heart is still with you."
"If you have needs in this area, and you really like Miss Jiang, tell your brother in advance, and I, as a brother, will actually help you."
Pei Zhi was stabbed in the heart and subconsciously retorted: "I am her brother."
Yuan Jing stood up: "Azhi, if you say that, then I can't control you."
"It just so happens that Miss Jiang is almost at the age of marriage. Mr. Hua seems to be a decent man, so he might be a good match."
After Pei Zhi heard this, he felt angry, and his voice was a little louder: "How can you tell that he is a decent man and a good match?"
He really couldn't imagine that the little girl would be with that man in the future.
Yuan Jing put down the wine bottle in his hand, and Pei Zhi became anxious.
He rarely said seriously: "Pei Zhi, you also said that you have no such thoughts about him."
"If you really like it, then take the initiative to pursue it. What's the point of drinking alone?"
When Pei Zhi heard this, he wanted to refute, but he couldn't.
"Azhi, we have been together for so long, I understand you."
"If you don't have that plan, it's good to keep some distance and let go early."
Pei Zhi finally stopped talking, his eyes unclear.
He just tried to think about it in his mind. He couldn't imagine that the little girl would marry as a wife in the future. In his eyes, these people were not worthy of Jiang Li at all.
After Yuan Jing said these words, he picked up the wine pot again and resumed his carefree appearance.
"Azhi, what I said comes from the bottom of my heart."
He stood up, used Qing Gong and left directly.
The cold wind blew on Pei Zhi's face, and Pei Zhi felt that his heart became clearer and clearer.
It seems that he does have some unusual thoughts about the little girl——
The next day.
In the inn, Su Wanjun and Jiang Xue sat across from each other.
Su Wanjun looked a little embarrassed, "Axue, my people did indeed see her being intimate with a man, but they didn't know that the man was Pei Zhi."
I heard that Pei Zhi is the adopted son of their Jiang family. He is now a second-grade inspector by His Majesty's side. He is only waiting to go to Luoyang after the new year. Jiang Li is now granted the title of county master.
Jiang Li is just a bumpkin from the countryside, how could he be made the county leader! However, she also knew very well in her heart that these two people were not something she could afford to offend now.
Jiang Xue flashed a hint of impatience. If the idiot in front of him hadn't told him this, how could he have misunderstood it. If I had no misunderstanding on this matter, how could the fourth brother part ways with me now?
When she thought of these things, she couldn't help clenching her fists tightly.
Seeing that the person in front of her was silent, Su Wanjun stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her.
She didn't know exactly what happened yesterday, but Jiang Xue told herself that the person yesterday was Pei Zhi.
Nowadays, she naturally still wants to curry favor with the person in front of her.
"Wanjun, I didn't expect it to be like this. This matter is not your fault."
Jiang Xue came back to her senses when she called her like this, with a forced smile on her lips.
Now that the fourth brother is no longer standing by her side, hasn't Su Wanjun always liked her fourth brother? Why doesn't she help him out?
There was a hint of madness in her eyes. If she didn't have a good time, others wouldn't have a good time either...
