I have ten trillion licking dog gold

Boss Jiang is gone.

Before leaving, they made a point of cleaning up the place.

It wasn't that he deserted his post or lacked responsibility; it was Pei Yunxi who told him to retreat first.

after all.

Even if you become family, there is no real blood relation. Some things are easier for real family members to communicate behind closed doors.

"What time did you go to sleep last night? Do you want to go and rest for a while?"

Even though she has a lover, Pei Yunxi still cares about her younger sister, so it seems that the younger sister doesn't need to worry about gaining or losing him.

"I'm fine. Why don't you go back to sleep? You must have had a tough night."

Sisters are close and respectful to each other.

Pei Yunxi composed herself and said calmly, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Luo Li'er smiled. "So, Chen Jiang is Jiang Chen?"

Pei Yunxi remained silent.

"Sister, can you answer me honestly when it started?"

"Two years ago, in the port city."

She's really straightforward.

However, things have come to this point, there's no need to be coy anymore. Pei Yunxi isn't that kind of person. As the saying goes, there's no time like the present, and we can't hide it forever anyway.

Everything is arranged by fate.

Two years ago.

Luo Li'er shook her head for a moment, then continued to ask, "So, when did you develop feelings for each other?"

This question left Pei Yunxi speechless for a moment, not because she was avoiding the question, but because she didn't know how to answer it.

Was he "tied up" and taken to a family in Yunfu who risked their lives to save him?

Or perhaps you were attacked by a gunman in Paris, and he instinctively used his body to shield you from the bullets?
Two years ago.

"..."

Luo Li'er was speechless, staring at her cousin. After a while, she chuckled softly, "You guys really kept it well hidden."

Pei Yunxi remained silent.

She is not a person who likes to share; on the contrary, as a public figure, she prefers to keep her life hidden off-screen.

The story between her and him is simply her story and his story.

"Are you happy with him, sister?"

"At least it's safe and secure."

"Was my sister not stable before?"

Pei Yunxi shook her head. The person was gone, so there was nothing to be ashamed of. Why should she feel embarrassed in front of her sister? "After being with him, I don't have to live in fear anymore."

Living in fear and anxiety.

Luo Li'er's smile faltered slightly, and she involuntarily clenched her hands.

The family is honored because of my cousin, but what about my cousin?

There was no one supporting him from behind.

She had to wade through the filthy entertainment industry on her own.

Although she studied painting, Luo Li'er never beautified the world. On the contrary, she understood the true colors of the world better than ordinary people. However, she never asked before, and her cousin never told her.

Luo Li'er opened her mouth, but no sound came out. After a while, she finally managed to smile and say, "Sister has finally made it through."

Will you blame me?

"Is it your fault?"

Luo Li'er looked confused and bewildered. "What's it to you about?"

"You've embarrassed me."

Luo Li'er was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "No, sister, I'm afraid I can't even find a job right now. You want to embarrass me? I need to have a face first."

For ordinary people, face is worthless.

If her sister weren't Pei Yunxi, she would just be an ordinary person.

"Oh, right."

Luo Li'er said, "So, KE is also your business, senior?"

"He gave it to me."

That's really concise. Luo Li'er hesitated for a moment, then finally laughed and cried at the same time, "No wonder even my sister was fooled by him. He's young, handsome, humorous, rich, and generous. No one could resist him."

Pei Yunxi remained noncommittal.

Luo Li'er quieted down, seemingly lost in thought, and suddenly shifted her position closer to Pei Yunxi.

"Sister, what are your plans for the future? Have you discussed it?"

Pei Yunxi's face remained as still as a mirror. "No."

"So, what do you think, sister?"

Luo Li'er asked tentatively.

"What's there to think about?"

Luo Li'er was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "How can I not think about it? We can't just drift along like this, can we?"

"My wealth is more than I could spend in several lifetimes."

Having money can certainly eliminate many troubles, but it's not something that can be replaced by wealth.

"Sister, you're not just with him for money, are you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be single now. Have you thought about a long-term relationship?"

Pei Yunxi didn't flinch, looking directly into her sister's eyes, "What you want to ask is, will we get married?"

Luo Li'er pursed her lips.

"Is a piece of paper really that important? Your aunt said she doesn't care."

If Lai Wan-yung knew that her daughter treated her words as "the Bible," I wonder if she would regret it.

Luo Li'er was stunned for a moment, not expecting her cousin to pull such a stunt.

She had certainly heard of her aunt's "bible," but could it be taken seriously?

Parents naturally get anxious when their children are still single. In their desperation, they'll use all sorts of sweet talk to urge their children to find a partner. For example, they might say that as long as the person has good character, they don't care about looks or other conditions. But once they actually find a partner, they'll immediately turn their backs on them and start picking and choosing.

"Sis, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Luo Li'er blinked her eyes repeatedly, looking incredibly cute and charming.

"As children, sometimes we really do have to listen to our parents."

Luo Li'er was in a daze.

Why are we suddenly starting ideological education classes?

Driven by instinct, she began to recall the Bible that her aunt often mentioned...

Suddenly.

As if struck by lightning, Luo Li'er jolted awake.

That's not right.

Only the poor can easily enjoy static electricity in winter.

There was no polyester fiber in her wardrobe.

"Sis, you wouldn't be thinking of..."

As if realizing something terrifying, Luo Li'er involuntarily opened her mouth wide, her cherry-like lips big enough to fit half a peach.

Pei Yunxi ignored her and calmly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"You wouldn't be thinking of... *gulp*."

Luo Li'er swallowed hard, and finally mustered up her courage, "You're not thinking of 'leaving the father and keeping the son,' are you?"

My aunt often says that it doesn't matter whether she gets married or not, as long as she can hold her grandson.

Cousin, no way, you're really planning to "listen to Mom"?

Pei Yunxi remained calm and composed, her composure frighteningly profound.
Are you still sleeping? I need to lie down for a while longer.

Did you stay up very late last night?
Is it really necessary to work this hard just to "listen to your mother"?
Luo Li'er's eyes were glazed over, and she seemed lost in thought.

Pei Yunxi gave her a cushion, then got up and went upstairs alone.

Luo Li'er subconsciously grabbed the cushion and hugged it to her chest, her mind buzzing.

Her thinking is still too outdated.

She can't compare to her cousin who's a trendsetter in the entertainment industry.

I wonder if my aunt will smile happily when she gets what she wants?
Luo Li'er hugged the pillow tightly, her pupils contracting and dilating, her perspective broadening once again.

What is subtle influence?

That's it. (End of Chapter)
