Chapter 29 Pei Du 1V2

When Pei Du arrived at the ward, he didn’t expect Zhao Xicai to be there, and Wen Heng hadn’t left either.

Pei Du got straight to the point, “Still planning to stay here?”

Old Man Pei slumped on the bed, “I’m sick! And you don’t even keep me company, running off to other people’s wards to flirt with their brothers! You’re really something!”

Pei Du: “You’re something, coming to a pediatric hospital to fake an illness.”

Old Man Pei: “…”

He was careless.

Old Man Pei stubbornly said, “What pediatric hospital? Does it say that on the name? I’m so old, can’t you worry about me a little?”

“I am worried.”

Zhao Xicai: ? Is your conscience suddenly online?

Pei Du: “Worried you’ll be swindled into buying health products. With your IQ, you might go bankrupt buying them. No need to fight over the board of directors then, we can all change careers and become salespeople, reselling the health products you bought, and starting from scratch together.”

Zhao Xicai: “…”

With that mouth of yours, you could really drive your grandpa crazy.

Wen Heng was watching the show.

He pinched his thigh hard, controlling himself from laughing out loud.

That would ruin his image as a caring little cotton-padded jacket in Grandpa Pei’s heart.

Old Man Pei turned red with anger, “How dare you talk to me like that! I told you to be with Wen Heng for your own good, but you insist on being with that Sheng Yiguang who dumped you, what’s the point?”

“Happiness.”

Old Man Pei: “…”

Pei Du: “My wife has a good temper, not very good at scolding people, but there’s a saying that’s very true, do you really want to be here haggling?”

Pei Du: “I didn’t say anything too harsh when he was here in the early hours of the morning, but now I’ll make things clear.”

Pei Du: “Others may not know the company’s situation, but don’t you? The Pei family has been around for generations, and the shares have been diluted to almost nothing, you yourself don’t have much in your hands.”

Pei Du: “Others either can’t lead a team and can only work themselves to death, or they can lead a team, but are about to be worked to death by the team.”

Pei Du: “In this situation, what I want is shares, not projects, okay? Busting my ass just to earn someone’s ‘well done’? What’s the point? To be someone else’s slave?”

Pei Du: “If you don’t want to help, then don’t. And don’t even think about arranged marriages. You want me to sell myself for a lousy project? Did you ask Sheng Yiguang?”

Pei Du paused, as if he had just remembered, and continued.

“Oh, he knows, and he’s not happy about it.”

Zhao Xicai: “…”

If you’re going to talk business, just talk business, why show off your affection?

The words were directed at Old Man Pei, but every word was a jab at Wen Heng.

Wen Heng’s face turned from pale to green, his chest filled with anger, but he endured it.

“I didn’t threaten you with this, I can help you, without asking for anything in return.”

Pei Du didn’t even look at him, continuing to speak to his grandfather.

“Free things are the most expensive. If you’re stupid enough to actually accept, then there’s no need for heaven to arrange any suffering, you’ll bring it upon yourself.”

Old Man Pei roared angrily, “Why are you saying this to me? It was Wen Heng who was talking to you!”

“Oh, it’s like this. Sheng Yiguang doesn’t want me to talk to him, it’ll make him unhappy, and I don’t want him to be unhappy.”

Wen Heng: “…”

Zhao Xicai: “…”

Old Master Pei almost fainted from anger.

His good-for-nothing grandson isn’t acting like a proper young master, but is running off to be someone’s dog!!!

“What good is it if you don’t want him to be unhappy? He doesn’t even like you!”

Pei Du said calmly, “How can that be? He’s currently trying every possible means to get me.”

Wen Heng: “…”

Old Man Pei: “…”

Zhao Xicai: Yes, that’s right, he can attest to that.

He just didn’t believe it last time, and lost two hundred yuan.

Pei Du: “I’m not forcing you to like him right now, but you can’t let him suffer any grievances.”

Old Master Pei hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

In the end, he figured that arguing wouldn’t work anyway, and he’d probably just get half-dead with anger.

He shut his mouth.

Pei Du called the security guard, pointing at Wen Heng on the sofa.

“I don’t want to see this person in this hospital, get him out.”

Wen Heng stood up abruptly, “Pei Du! Don’t go too far! What right do you have to kick me out!”

Zhao Xicai reminded him, “Young Master Wen, he has his wife’s orders not to talk to you, you should leave on your own, otherwise it’ll be too ugly to be dragged out.”

Wen Heng looked at Old Man Pei for help.

Old Man Pei thought for a moment and said, “I’m about to be discharged anyway, if you don’t come, then don’t come.”

Hearing this, Wen Heng left in a huff.

System: [He’s gone just like that?]

Wen Heng said angrily, “Are you better at scolding him, or better at fighting him?”

System: [……]

System: [What are we going to do now?]

Wen Heng: “We still have to start with Sheng Yiguang, today’s plan is to make Sheng Yiguang see clearly how much Pei Du’s grandfather likes me!

Wen Heng: “Even if he has Pei Du’s love, he won’t get approval and blessings! Along with their relationship, not! Be! Ac! Knowledged!”

Wen Heng: “In the end, it will cause Pei Du to be abandoned by all.”

System asked: [When will the barrage be released?]

Wen Heng: “Tonight, people are most prone to overthinking at night.”

Wen Heng left, and Pei Du asked Old Master Pei again.

“Are you still staying here?”

Old Man Pei stubbornly nodded, “I’m sick.”

“Then stay here.”

Pei Du turned around and walked out.

Zhao Xicai said goodbye to his grandfather and followed him out.

“Your grandpa is also thinking of you, Wen Heng’s connections in the rich and powerful are unbelievably good, like some kind of succubus, have you seen his live stream? The top ten on the list are all young masters and young ladies from Lingang. Even if you don’t have an arranged marriage with him, you don’t have to be so stiff with him.”

Pei Du fiddled with his phone, very arrogant.

“I don’t need that kind of connection.”

Zhao Xicai’s attention was drawn to his movements, and he leaned over to look.

“What are you playing?”

Pei Du had been waiting here for a long time, and showed Zhao Xicai his phone.

“You’re asking about this? This is the nemesis of depression, the wake-up call for vegetative people, the sweet spring in the desert, the sprouting letter of dead trees in spring. In short, it’s the Pei Du Happiness app.”

“Why are you making it sound so mysterious, let me play it too.”

“I’m afraid that won’t do.”

“Why not?”

“This was made by bb just for me, to make me happy.”

Zhao Xicai: “…”

Pei Du: “bb said, as long as I’m satisfied with his pursuit, I’ll give him a thumbs up, and when the thumbs are full, we’ll officially start dating.”

Zhao Xicai was being mouthy, “If you haven’t clicked until it explodes, then you don’t love him enough.”

Pei Du sighed, his cheerful and joyful voice turning calm.

“I wanted to click until it exploded, but when I heard him say it was a total of 1461 days, I knew I couldn’t. 1461 days, exactly four years.”

Zhao Xicai also quieted down.

“Could it be that these four years really became a scar on your heart, and you need your bb to blow on it to make it better?”

Pei Du put away his phone, “I don’t need it, if it were really a scar, I wouldn’t stand in front of him.”

Zhao Xicai: “Then why are you shamelessly letting him chase after you, coaxing you?”

Pei Du held up two fingers, “Firstly, this kind of experience is indeed rare. Secondly…”

His voice lowered, “This matter isn’t in my heart, but in his heart. It’s not that I say I don’t mind, and he can immediately let go. The guilt in his heart has to be repaid, the scars can be smoothed out, the past can be turned over, if we don’t go through this process, I’m afraid he’ll never be at peace.”

Zhao Xicai didn’t expect him to have thought so much.

“That’s true, you can be considered to understand psychology.”

Pei Du: “I can wait, I’ve waited four years, what do I care about these few days?”
