The wealthy young master is a money fan

On New Year's Eve, Pei Ji, Pei Xiu, and Pei Qian went back to Pei's house together, and had New Year's Eve dinner with Shu Pan and Pei Chengbo.

The scab on the back of Pei Ji's hand fell off, leaving an inch-long mark, and the newly grown skin was light pink.

Pei Xiu spent a lot of money on Pei Ji's scar, and it has recovered well, so there should be no scar in the future.

The scars are shallow and can't be seen unless you look closely.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Shu Pan noticed the light-colored scar on the back of his hand, and asked him what happened.

Pei Ji glanced at the back of his hand, and answered casually:

"Accidentally rowed."

With such a long scar, Shu Pan felt very distressed, took his hand, and blew gently like coaxing a child, with a rare voice of complaint: "It's too careless."

Pei Ji was stunned, looking silently at Shu Pan, who was half a head shorter than herself, the hand held by her bent her fingers and gave Pei Ji a blow. After completing this series of actions, she realized it with hindsight

Zhao Zhao does not like physical contact with people.

Shu Pan let go of Pei Ji's hand almost immediately and looked up to see his expression, with a panicked expression, explaining: "I'm sorry Zhaozhao, mom didn't do it on purpose, are you okay? I..."

"fine."

Before Shu Pan could say more, Pei Ji spoke first.

A second before the two hands separated completely, Shu Pan felt that his hand was gently held, and the gentle strength was fleeting.

Shu Pan's eyes froze, wondering for a moment if it was his own illusion

Zhao Zhao... took the initiative to shake her hand?

Because of this little episode, Shu Pan spent the rest of the time quietly observing Pei Ji.

Pei Ji still had no expression on his face, as always, he rarely liked to smile, but Shu Pan just felt that her Zhao Zhao was different from before.

After listening to Shu Pan, Pei Chengbo also stared at his younger son for a while, and finally asked, "What's different?"

Isn't this still his cute and sensible little son?

Shu Pan himself couldn't tell what was different about Pei Ji who appeared here. The two willow eyebrows were tangled for a few seconds, and he whispered: "It's just the feeling for me."

The feeling has always been abstract and cannot be described exactly.

Although Pei Ji's demeanor today is the same as usual, but Shu Pan somehow feels that her demeanor is not as cold as before.

It's like a little more.

Aura?Vigorous?

Shu Pan himself couldn't tell.

The rich New Year's Eve dinner was put on the dining table one by one by the servants. The two brothers Pei Ji and Pei Xiu sat together, facing Shu Pan and Pei Chengbo, and the two old people sat on the table.

It was inevitable to say a few auspicious words during the New Year's Eve dinner. Pei Xiu, who was next to Pei Ji, stood up and said that he didn't have any big wishes. He only hoped that their family would be safe and healthy.

Even little Pei Qian stood up holding a glass full of juice in a dignified manner, thanking everyone for taking care of her, wishing grandpa and grandma Pei good health and a long life.

When everyone finished talking, Pei Ji was left alone.

Although knowing Pei Ji's taciturn character, most of them were unwilling to speak, but everyone looked at him with vague expectations.

Pei Ji didn't move for a few seconds, just when Shu Pan and Pei Xiu thought he wouldn't open his mouth to change the subject, Pei Ji stood up suddenly.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Pei Ji held the cup slightly harder, licked the tight lip line, glanced at the four elders present, and finally said slowly: "I'm sorry for worrying you all these years .”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words.

Pei Ji just said such a sentence, but except for the still young Pei Qian, everyone present gradually understood the meaning of his words.

Shu Pan's tears fell immediately.

Because of his abduction and trafficking, Pei Ji's relatives have always felt guilty towards him, so they treat him with care and obedience.

Pei Ji knew this very well.

It was because he knew all of this that Pei Ji built an invisible wall between them.

As Yan Heng said, no matter how indifferent and calm Pei Ji looks, the environment he grew up in did make him sensitive, suspicious and cautious.

He couldn't tell whether Shu Pan Pei Xiu's kindness to him was driven by guilt or pity, or out of sincerity.

It's true that he was the biological son of Shu Pan and Pei Chengbo, but there was a long and insurmountable blank period of more than ten years between him and everyone in the Pei family.

When Pei Xiu made a small mistake, Shu Pan and Pei Chengbo would speak harmlessly about him and joke with him, and Shu Pan would even act like a baby to him.

That kind of intimacy is accumulated little by little over time.

Compared to Pei Xiu, Pei Ji felt more like a guest of Pei Ji's family who would leave at any time.

rather than children.

Pei Ji has seen too many examples of parents abandoning their own flesh and blood. He has long since ceased to believe that blood is thicker than water, and that a tiger's poison does not eat its offspring.

I also don't believe in the word 'blood relationship' which is invisible or intangible.

Putting aside the word of blood relationship, Pei Ji is not sure how long he can maintain the goodness of giving alms out of guilt and compassion.

one day?

a month?

or a year?

Pei Ji, who has been abandoned many times, has never complained to anyone, but just sealed her heart away.

He had been waiting for the day when Shu Pan Pei Chengbo and the others ran out of patience with him, and at that time he could leave without any regrets.

just like before.

But what he waited for was that Shu Pan gently took his hand and exhaled on the back of his healed hand.

At that moment, Pei Ji's mind resounded for no reason what Yan Heng said to him before: It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, little dean, you should try to step up occasionally and open the window to have a look.

So Pei Ji looked into Shu Pan's eyes like a ghost.

For the first time, he saw Shu Pan's eyes so clearly.

Distressed with a bit of blame, and...

Love.

It's not a blind indulgence.

The deep love and the deep responsibility will also blame him.

In an instant of clarity, Pei Ji pushed aside the smog that had been lingering in front of his eyes, and finally walked out of the cage he had woven for himself.

An apology is not only an apology to Shu Pan and Pei Chengbo, but also an explanation from Pei Ji to himself.

Shu Pan burst into tears:

"Silly boy, tell us what you're sorry about."

Pei Chengbo took a tissue to wipe his emotional wife's tears, his movements were at a loss, but there was a smile on his brows and eyes: "You too, Zhao Zhao cried at a word, why do you love to cry so much."

The topic was diverted like this, everyone is an adult, some things are tacit, needless to say.

Shu Pan and Pei Chengbo, including the two old people, were very happy, only Pei Xiu had a slightly complicated expression.

Even though he was unwilling, Pei Xiu had to admit it in his heart at this moment

Since falling in love with Yan Heng, Zhao Zhao has really changed a lot.

The whole family has worked hard for two or three years, Zhao Zhao is still like an ice cube, and after being with Yan Heng for just a few months, Zhao Zhao not only started calling him brother, but also has a tendency to open up to them...

Pei Xiu was both happy and sour in his heart:

Yan Heng, you bastard, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour Zhao Zhao into!

……

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the four elders gave out thick red envelopes to the three younger generations.

Pei Qian took the red envelope and thanked her sweetly. The auspicious words of blessings should not be uttered like money, and then turned around and handed the red envelope to Pei Ji: "Brother, help me keep it."

The lively and festive Spring Festival Gala was the background sound, and Pei Ji's family sat around the living room, chatting with each other.

Because of what Pei Ji said before the meal, while chatting, Grandpa Pei brought the topic up to his studies.

Pei Chengbo looked at his youngest son lovingly, and asked him what his plans were.

In the second half of this year, Pei Ji will be promoted to senior year, and he will soon face the choice of finding a job for an internship or continuing his studies.

Before the winter vacation, the counselor approached him and asked him if he had any intention to study in graduate school.

The school has a quota for recommending postgraduates, and according to Pei Ji's exam times, the first place in the department, if he is willing, he will naturally have a quota for recommending.

"No postgraduate entrance examination." Pei Ji: "I will resign from the Angel House before my senior year."

Pei Ji had never told Pei Chengbo Shu Pan about his future plans before, this was the first time he had told his family about these matters so seriously.

Pei Ji: "The Home of Angels is now being run very well by Lu Wen, and all aspects are on the right track..."

Everyone knows that Angel House is a private orphanage, but few people know that the biggest investor behind it is the Pei family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Pei Ji to become the dean at a young age.

The Angel's House was established after the Pei family retrieved Pei Ji. It was originally a vocational high school that was about to close down, and was bought by the Pei family.

Lucky to find his son, Shu Pan was very grateful and wanted to do some good deeds to give back to the society, so the Angel House was born.

Probably the inside of the orphanage where he stayed was too rotten. After the establishment of the Angel House, Pei Ji became the dean.

Now every employee of the Angel House, including volunteers, is recruited after being signed and confirmed by Pei Ji.

He is very relieved about it.

Everyone was not surprised to hear that Pei Ji said that he would resign as the dean and make Lu Wen, the vice dean, the dean.

They have known for a long time that it is impossible for Pei Ji to be the dean of the Angel House all his life.

Pei Chengbo nodded: "Alright."

Pei Xiu hurriedly said:

"Then Zhaozhao, your internship must be at our own home, right?"

Pei Xiu still remembered that Pei Ji went to Yan Heng's company as an intern during the summer vacation.

Thinking of this now, Pei Xiu regretted it.

Because he still remembers the self who didn't know anything back then, cooperating with Yan Heng in acting, and helping him chase his sweetheart for an assist.

Damn, I'm so angry!

The more I think about Pei Xiu, the more I feel that Yan Heng is a dog.

scheming!

shameless!

Pei Ji didn't give a clear answer to Pei Xiu's question, and only said that we'll see when the time comes.

Pei Xiu wanted to ask Pei Ji if he still wanted to go to Yan Heng's company, but he glanced in the direction of Shu Pan and Pei Chengbo, but didn't say anything.

The Pei family does not have a tradition of sticking around until the whole family counts down to welcome in the new year.

The old man couldn't bear it anymore, so the grandparents went back to the room to rest first, followed by Pei Qian.

Finally, when Shu Pan returned to the room with a yawn, it was past eleven o'clock.

Pei Ji returned to the room with a time difference of 2 minutes at 11:30.

There were several messages from Yan Heng on the phone, the last one was half an hour ago, asking if he had received the lucky money.

Pei Ji put together several red envelopes he had received, took a photo and sent it to Yan Heng.

Yan Heng may be standing in front of the phone, and the message will be replied in seconds:

[Why are there five? 】

[Your brother also gave you lucky money? 】

Pei Ji: [Yes. 】

As soon as Pei Ji sent out the 'um', Yan Heng called the next second.

Yan Heng's unique lazy voice came from the phone:

"You actually received so much lucky money."

Just by his voice, Pei Ji could imagine Yan Heng's expression at the moment, the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Don't you?"

Yan Heng answered slowly, with a hint of pity in his tone:

"Yeah, I haven't received a single red envelope."

Pei Ji unconsciously twirled a pen with her fingertips, and answered casually:

"I'll give it to you, shall I?"

Originally, he said it casually, but he didn't want Yan Heng on the other end of the phone to answer without hesitation: "Yes!"

Pei Ji opened his mouth just as he was about to say something, when the other party continued:

"Then you come out to me."

Pei Ji was stunned when he heard the words, then stood up abruptly, walked a few steps towards the door and stopped: "Where are you now?"

Yan Heng's voice was light and light, and there was a smile on his face, and he didn't answer the question instead:

"you guess?"

Pei Ji's eyes changed, and instead of guessing, he hung up the phone and walked straight out of the room.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, only a few night lights with low wattage were on.

Pei Ji didn't turn on the headlights, and no one was disturbed, so he went downstairs and out the gate under the light of the night light.

As soon as he turned the corner, Pei Ji saw someone leaning leisurely and lazily by the car.

Yan Heng didn't know how long he had been waiting. He stood there quietly with one hand in his pocket. He was tall and had long legs. For those who didn't know, he thought some car model was still open in the middle of the night.

After seeing Yan Heng, Pei Ji froze, then quickened his pace.

His heartbeat at the moment was more chaotic than his steps.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yan Heng raised his head, saw Pei Ji's seductive Danfeng eyes first, and then frowned: "Why do you come out with such little clothes?"
