Chapter Ninety-Seven: Pei Ping is back
She doesn't like to wear high heels, she is tall herself, and she really doesn't need to wear high heels, so her footsteps are actually quite soft when she walks.
But even so, the first second she entered the living room, Pei Xianglin immediately looked at her, and asked in a sour tone, "Huh?" Isn't this our family's big star Qiao Ran back? ”
She seemed to be smiling, holding the arm of a middle-aged man next to her, and continued: "Dad, you don't know each other yet, do you?" This is Qiao Ran, who has been filming some time ago, and she is not at home all day, so she is very busy! ”
The middle-aged man who was being held by Pei Xianglin looked over here, and when he saw Qiao Ran's face, he was stunned for a moment.
This face, he hadn't seen in twenty years.
I thought I would never see it again, but I didn't expect it......
His eyes narrowed slightly, hiding all the yin skulls under his eyes, and he beckoned to Qiao Ran with a smile, "Ranran, come over and let my uncle take a look." ”
Although he said this, Qiao Ran didn't go to his side, just shouted "uncle", and then went to Pei Lao's side and sat down.
Seeing that Qiao Ran seemed to be a little tanned, Pei Lao couldn't help but feel distressed, "Ranran, it's hard to film in the countryside, right?" Look at you, it's all sunburned. ”
Qiao Ran smiled and said, "Where? I used all the sunscreen my brother prepared for me, and I didn't get a tan or sunburn. ”
Their grandparents and grandchildren chatted lively, Pei Xianglin couldn't stand it anymore, glared at Qiao Ran and asked, "Don't you say hello to my dad when you come back?" No matter what he says, he is also your elder, not to mention that today is the first time we have met. ”
Qiao Ran was talking to Pei Lao, and when she heard Pei Xianglin's words, she immediately looked over here.
It's just that when he saw Pei Xianglin, the smile on his face instantly faded a lot.
She asked, "Cousin, I greeted my uncle as soon as I came in, didn't you hear or didn't you see it?" ”
Pei Xianglin wanted to fight back, but Pei Ping waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to go to her heart, and looked at Qiao Ran and said, "Ranran, Xianglin is this temper, don't take it to heart." ”
Pei Chengqi, who had never spoken, smiled at this time and spoke: "Isn't it?" Xianglin is just a little quick-tempered, and everything else is fine. ”
Pei Xianglin turned her face away again, and glared at Pei Chengqi fiercely, but where would Pei Chengqi be afraid of her glaring? still looked at her with such a smile, and her face was almost green with anger.
Pei Lao asked Qiao Ran about the countryside again, for fear that she didn't eat well or sleep well, Qiao Ran answered them one by one.
Pei Hao saw that their ancestors and grandchildren were chatting happily, so he turned to Pei Ping and asked, "Uncle, your room has been cleaned, and I will let someone help you take your luggage in." ”
"No, I'm living outside." Pei Ping had a smile on his face, but the words he said didn't have much warmth, "My house has been uninhabited for too long, and it's almost unpopular, so I have to go and see it." ”
That's not all, he also looked at his pair of children, and asked with a smile: "Cheng Qi, Xianglin, you can also come with me to have a look, and we will have a meal together in the evening." ”
As soon as he heard this, Pei Hao's face immediately sank.
Pei Lao also frowned and asked, "You didn't eat at home when you came back?" ”
"Where?" Pei Ping smiled and said, "Aren't I afraid that your old man will see that I can't eat?" For your sake. ”
Even if everyone knows what they say, as long as they don't say it in their hearts, then nothing will happen.
But if you say that, it will sound like a demon to others.
For example, Pei Ping's words successfully squeezed Pei Lao, making Pei Lao's face ugly in an instant.
But Pei Ping didn't take it to heart, stood up and straightened his suit, "Cheng Qi, Xianglin, let's go." ”
When he arrived at the door, he suddenly remembered something, looked back at Qiao Ran and asked, "By the way, Ranran, we have time to have a meal together." ”
Qiao Ran didn't answer, just smiled slightly, didn't say agree, and didn't refuse.
As soon as Pei Ping's father and son went out, the smile on Qiao Ran's face completely disappeared.
I had heard some rumors of discord between Pei Lao and Pei Ping's father and son before, but I didn't expect it to be so serious.
Looking at their appearance, where is it so simple to discord?
patting Pei Lao's arm, Qiao Ran comforted softly: "Grandpa, don't be angry. ”
Pei Lao angrily "snorted" from his nose, looked at the door again, and said angrily: "What do I have to be angry about?" This rebel has been like this all these years, and I have long been used to it. ”
Qiao Ran didn't speak anymore.
If you say it again, I'm afraid Pei Lao will be even more angry.
Fortunately, although Pei Lao was unhappy in his heart, he didn't vent it on Qiao Ran's body, and looked at Qiao Ran and asked, "Ranran, you just came back, you must be tired, right?" Let's go back to the room and rest first, and I'll ask Ah Yun to call you when we eat. ”
Qiao Ran was wary of Pei Ping, and there were many things that were not clear, but now that she heard Pei Lao say this, she did not refuse, but nodded and agreed, and looked at Pei Hao again and said, "Brother, I'm too tired, you can help me get the bag." ”
It's not that she's hypocritical, it's just that Aunt Yun sent her luggage back to the room when she first came back, and now she only has one bag left.
Pei Hao naturally wouldn't shirk, so he took Qiao Ran's bag and went upstairs with her.
When he entered the room, Pei Hao put the bag on the dresser, and asked Qiao Ran about the matter: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask now." ”
He also knows a little about Qiao Ran, Qiao Ran is generally reluctant to trouble others, but now he specially asked himself to help him get a one-pound bag, he must have something to ask him.
Sure enough, as soon as his words fell, Qiao Ran asked, "Brother, what's wrong between my uncle and my grandfather?" How do I feel that it seems to smell of gunpowder. ”
Although she didn't know what she said to Pei Lao before she came back, judging from the few words of communication between Pei Ping and Pei Lao after she came back, it was not simple.
"Uncle has always been like this." Pei Hao said, "He wants to take over the company as soon as possible, but in the eyes of his grandfather, he is not the best candidate." ”
In fact, Pei Hao is not objective.
In Pei Lao's opinion, Pei Ping is not suitable to take over the company at all.
It's just these words, Pei Hao feels that it's too early to tell Qiao Ran now.
Staring at Qiao Ran for a while, Pei Hao seemed to be thinking about something, and only after pondering clearly did he ask, "Ranran, don't you really want to go to the company?" ”
Just now I talked about taking over the company, and now I asked myself immediately, Qiao Ran was slightly stunned, and subconsciously replied: "I want to film." ”
When she finished answering, she seemed to suddenly understand something, looked at Pei Hao with wide eyes and asked, "Brother, do you want to talk about ......?"
You can't say let her go back to the company and then hand it over to her, right?
With such a big family business and so many people's jobs, her small shoulders can't pick it up.
Although Qiao Ran's words didn't come out, Pei Hao also knew that she understood what she meant.
Seeing Qiao Ran's surprised look, Pei Hao smiled, patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's not as terrible as you think, but you should still know a little bit about business matters." Even if you don't want to take over the company, you still have to have a position. ”
This is also the reason why Qiao Ran just returned to Pei's house before, and Pei Lao asked Pei Hao to take her to the company.
Being explained by Pei Hao, Qiao Ran understood, but when she thought of so many things, she still shook her head.
"Let's talk about this matter, I still want to film well."
After a pause, she said, "And I'm still in college, if I do too much, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up, and then I won't be able to keep up, and I won't be able to do anything." ”
Pei Hao didn't mean to let Qiao Ran accept it immediately, so when he heard her say this, he nodded, asked her to rest early, and went downstairs by herself.
Pei Lao was still in the living room, he seemed to be staring at the TV in front of him, but his eyes were very cloudy, and he didn't even focus.
poured a glass of water for Pei Lao and brought it over, Pei Hao sat down beside him, "Grandpa." ”
was shouted by Pei Hao, and Pei Lao came back to his senses.
Maybe he was old and a little slow to react, staring at Pei Hao for two seconds, Pei Lao Cai let out an "ah", and raised his head to look upstairs again.
After a while, he asked, "Has Ranran rested?" ”
"Hmm." Pei Hao handed the water cup to Pei Lao, "You can drink some water." ”
Pei Lao took the cup, but instead of drinking it, he put the cup back on the coffee table.
He seemed to have a lot of concern, his eyebrows were frowning fiercely, the ravines seemed deeper, and the person looked older.
With a long sigh, Pei Lao closed his cloudy eyes, "Pei Ping is finally back!" ”
In the past few years, Pei Ping has been absent from Su City, which has been arranged by Pei Lao to let him stay abroad.
Originally, I wanted Pei Hao to take advantage of Pei Ping's absence to slowly grasp the company in his own hands, but there are still Pei Chengqi and Pei Xianglin in the company, the two brothers and sisters, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, although Pei Hao has put a lot of thought into it, but it is still too difficult to fully control the company.
Pei Lao's age is getting older day by day, and the company will have to hand it over sooner or later, if something happens to him now, the company will naturally fall into Pei Ping's hands.
But with Pei Ping's ability and personality......
"Ah Hao, did you say that Ran Ran is willing to go to the company?" Pei Lao asked.
Pei Hao also asked this question tentatively just now, but now that he heard Pei Lao ask this, looking at the skin on Pei Lao's face as if the land had cracked after being dry for too long, he really couldn't bear to say something like that.
He sorted out the wording slightly, and finally responded to Pei Lao: "Grandpa, Ran Ran is still young now, and she is still in college." ”
How smart is Pei Lao? As soon as Pei Hao said this, he knew it in his heart.
Although Qiao Ran has not been back for a long time, in the past few months, she has been asking Pei Rong questions on the side, but every time she felt that he was unwilling to say, she stopped the topic in time.
Therefore, Pei Lao also knew in his heart that Qiao Ran was curious about Pei Rong's affairs.
It's not even as simple as being curious, it is possible that the reason why she came back was to find out what happened to Pei Rong back then.
But those things, although so many years have passed, Pei Lao still doesn't have the face to tell Qiao Ran.
"It's me who is not good." Pei Lao drooped his loose eyelids, and his drooping old body looked a little pitiful, "Originally, I liked Rong'er the most back then, and I also wanted to hand over the company to her, but ......"
