Difficult Dogs

Chapter 7
The car drove into the Pei family's mansion. Shen Zhiyu got out of the car because of Pei Xu's gentlemanly behavior. From a distance, she saw the Pei family's housekeeper waiting outside the door. The one holding his trouser legs was Pei Xingheng, whom he had met at the last private dinner.

The little one was blinking at her with big eyes, a little shy. When he saw her and saw Pei Xu following behind him, he stopped and did not step forward.

This little guy obviously had something to say to her.

Pei Xu thoughtfully carried the gifts, which Shen Zhiyu had just bought temporarily in the mall.

"Zhiyu is here! Come and play two rounds for me." Old Mrs. Pei was sitting at the card table, scolding people, "They just bullied me for not being smart. They caught me and hunted me all morning."

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the card table couldn't help but laugh.

Shen Zhiyu was surprised. She didn't know how to play mahjong, but she still sat there bravely.

After a while, someone sat next to him, and Pei Xu came over and said, "Play a little chicken."

Shen Zhiyu stared blankly as he calmly picked up the Yaoji cards and played them out, then held her wrist and index finger and reordered the cards in his hand.

In an instant, the cards became much clearer.

She was a little absent-minded. Pei Xu was very close, almost shoulder to shoulder with her. Maybe he felt uncomfortable reading the cards. He put his hand on the chair behind her that she was not sitting on. It was difficult to ignore, and he brought her Showing some strength.

The tips of her ears were dyed a little pink. She didn't reject it, but she was a little uncomfortable. Pei Xu had never been so close to her in this way.

"Xiao Xu, it's not fun for you to be so protective."

The person who spoke was his cousin. She was almost winning, but who wanted to be shown her trump card.

"It would be nice for the young man to play cards with you. Pei Xu and Miss Shen are almost a family. Why do you care so much? Just treat it as a meeting gift!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhiyu felt ashamed and a little at a loss. She looked at Pei Xu for help.

"Well, my cousin and aunt are still chasing me," Pei Xu smiled warmly and looked at the situation, "Arranged marriages are not an option right now, only if Zhiyu is willing."

"Type this."

Pei Xu took advantage of every opportunity and deliberately fed them. Sure enough, three shots were fired, which made them extremely happy.

The bargaining chips left by Mrs. Pei were gone. She looked helplessly at Pei Xu, as if asking for help.

"It's okay. I'll transfer the money to them later and you can just call them."

"Then I'm welcome."

Pei Xu patted her head a few times to reassure her.

After hearing this, Shen Zhiyu felt as if she had a gold medal to avoid death. She no longer hesitated to play her cards. She would occasionally glance at Pei Xu and only play her cards after receiving a look of approval.

In the eyes of others, they look like a loving couple.

However, the good atmosphere did not last through the dinner, and she met Ning Min again.

She was not dressed like last time. This time she was dressed very professionally. She came in a hurry and seemed to be in a hurry. However, when Mrs. Pei and Zhao Xiaodan saw her, their expressions were gloomy, but they passed by in a flash and Shen Zhiyu did not catch them.

It rained outside at some point, and Ning Min was covered in rain and moisture.

She had an embarrassed look on her face and stood hesitantly outside the door. Mrs. Pei ordered her not to come in.

"What are you doing here?" Pei Xu pulled her outside the house, and the two stood in the shadows talking.

There was a strong wind outside the house. Pei Xu frowned a little irritably, and his eyes became fierce. He didn't know what he was telling Ning Min, but he saw Ning Min getting into the car again with her briefcase in hand.

Pei Xu smoked a cigarette outside, and then returned to the house after calming down. After exchanging a few words with the old lady, he heard the old lady's angrily refusal: "You're not allowed to go! There's something going on in the company, and your dad is not Dead! You just returned to China and took over, what can you do to make the decision!"

Mrs. Pei's eyes had the turbid yellow color of an elderly person, but when she looked directly at the car with double flashes outside the house under years of majestic scrutiny, she was obviously extremely disgusted.

This woman, she shouldn't let his grandson take her back to the country.

Now he dares to do anything under her nose!
Pei Xu didn't know the twists and turns in the old lady's heart. He thought she was dissatisfied with her ability to work, especially on this important day.

But he just informed the old lady and didn't even think of asking for her consent. He needed a quick change of leadership regarding the company's affairs. He didn't want to play cat and mouse with his father anymore, especially since he had interfered too much in the company's affairs recently after returning to China. , his father is already dissatisfied and is ready to let Pei Chen step in to balance it for him.

So, once again, despite the dissatisfaction of the old lady and Zhao Xiaodan, she asked Shen Zhiyu: "Do you want to go back to the city with me? Or go back to Shen's house later?"

Yes, her own home is not far away. Shen Zhiyu thought for a moment and said, "If you have something to do, go deal with it first. I will go back to Shen's house later and return to the city tomorrow."

Pei Xu nodded and left in a hurry.

Shen Zhiyu's mood was complicated. It was difficult to describe her current mood. The disappointment in her eyes was real.

Zhao Xiaodan was afraid that Shen Zhiyu would be uncomfortable, so he pulled her to chat again, covering topics ranging from fashion to skin care. After seeing that her mood had stabilized, he took her hand and gestured to himself: "Pei Xugang just took over the company, and the people who don't accept him are too Too much, I can’t even see anyone when I’m busy, Zhiyu, please be considerate, your feelings will eventually be cultivated.”

As a mother, she knew exactly what her son looked like, and she was just trying to excuse him at this time.

Shen Zhiyu laughed, shook her head and said it was okay.

Suddenly, a skating bracelet entered Shen Zhiyu's wrist.

When I was surprised, I heard Zhao Xiaodan say: "This is what Pei Xu's grandma left to Pei Xu's wife. Anyway, I will recognize you. Zhiyu, please don't let us down. Pei Xu is a bit cold-tempered. You are too cold." Don’t worry, there’s nothing going on between husband and wife.”

As he spoke, he sighed again: "Originally, your parents and I have already discussed the engagement date. I called you two here today just to discuss and pick a date. Who knows..."

Shen Zhiyu was even more surprised. Her parents hadn't told her everything, so it was hard to tell what she was feeling now. Her parents' ability to act first and then tell the truth was quicker than she expected.

There is a common thought that if you can't reach an agreement, you should quickly change your mind.

She had mixed feelings in her heart. She took off the bracelet on her hand and tried to push it off several times, but she still didn't push it off.

She ate in a daze and returned to Shen's house. There was a person standing under the corridor lamp, holding an umbrella and covering her face.

For a moment, she thought it was Pei Xu's surprise for her, but when she took a closer look, the joy on her face immediately disappeared and was replaced by embarrassment.

Pei Chen had been waiting for her for a long time. He stood there for an unknown amount of time. Rain splashed down the stone steps and hit his trouser legs, making them wet.

Shen Zhiyu reflexively glanced at the brightly lit Pei family behind her. When she came out, all the relatives of the Pei family had already left, and she was the last one to leave.

Shen Zhiyu pursed her lips and was several meters away from Pei Chen.

Fortunately, she only borrowed an umbrella and didn't ask the driver to give it to her.

Just as he was hesitating whether to take a detour and go in through the back door, he heard the man's hoarse voice approaching: "I didn't do anything to you, come here."
