Text Chapter 72 Move with emotion, know with reason
There was something wrong with the Pei family's branch in the United States, and Pei Li originally planned to go over in person, but the Huo family handed her an invitation to the reception at this time, and vaguely said that they wanted to talk about the marriage of the two families together.
After weighing the two sides, Pei Li asked Pei Huamo to go to the United States to deal with this matter. After all, Pei Li is still very relieved about Pei Huamo's ability to do things.
Because of the suddenness of the incident, Pei Huamo will fly to the United States early tomorrow morning, and he will work overtime in the company until more than 11 o'clock in order to prepare materials.
He knew that he didn't have time to say goodbye to the little girl, so he could only come and see her while she was asleep.
When Yan Ximo opened his eyes again, it was already seven o'clock, and after washing up casually, he hurriedly ran downstairs.
At the table, Pei Li was the only one sitting there eating breakfast elegantly, and there was no figure of that person at all.
Somewhat disappointed, he walked over, called out to his grandmother, and began to sit down to eat.
After a meal, Pei Li didn't say a word, and when Yan Ximo finished eating and was about to go upstairs, Pei Li stopped her.
"The end of the stream!"
Yan Ximo stopped and turned his head to look at her, "Grandma, is there something wrong?" ”
Pei Li took the coffee, took a sip gently, and said casually: "Come to my study in a while, I have something to tell you!" ”
Yan Ximo subconsciously asked: "What is it?" ”
But Pei Li didn't say anything more, as if she hadn't heard it, and she didn't know where to cast her eyes with the coffee in her hand.
Seeing this scene, Yan Ximo didn't dare to ask anything anymore, but went upstairs cautiously, trying to avoid sound.
Back in the room and simply tidying up, Yan Ximo came to the door of Pei Li's study with nervousness.
Taking a deep breath, he reached out and knocked on the door, "Grandma, it's me." ”
"Come in."
Pushed open the door and walked in, this was the first time Yan Ximo entered Pei Li's study, and it was as magnificent as she imagined.
Pei Li put down the document in her hand, took off the glasses on her nose, and motioned for her to sit down, looking like she was talking at length.
Yan Ximo sat beside Pei Li obediently, bowing his head and not speaking.
From the time she came to Pei's house to the present, her titular grandmother has only talked to her a handful of times, although I don't know what she is looking for this time.
She still remembers the day she first came to Pei's house, because she had just finished her grandmother's funeral, she was a little haggard, and she looked out of place with the glamorous Pei family.
And the majestic old man sitting on the sofa left a deep impression on her, and it was not until someone introduced to her that the unsmiling old man was her grandmother, that she broke away from the old man's momentum.
After that, she has always had a deep fear of her grandmother.
From that time on, she knew that her grandmother was not as amiable as her grandmother and didn't seem to like herself very much, so she kept trying to reduce her presence in front of her.
At this time, Pei Li picked up the internal phone, asked her aunt to bring two glasses of water, and asked one of them to ask for juice.
Listening to Pei Li's words, Yan Ximo raised her head in surprise, grandma also knew her preferences?
"You can sit down for a while, and we'll talk about it when the tea is delivered."
"Yes, Grandma."
Yan Ximo put his hands on his lap, sat on the side a little stiffly, and didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, always feeling that the atmosphere was very depressing.
After a while, an aunt walked in with two glasses of water, a cup of tea was placed in front of Pei Li, and the juice was placed in front of Yan Ximo.
Pei Li took a photo album on the table, looked at the little girl sitting next to her, and the memory in her mind resurfaced.
Her most beloved daughter Pei Lian was originally the heir she had cultivated, and she had already found a marriage partner for her daughter, but she didn't expect that at this time, her daughter would run away with a wild man.
She also sent someone to find Pei Lian once, and asked her daughter to tell her daughter that if her daughter was willing to come back, she could not blame the past, otherwise the two would sever the mother-daughter relationship.
Unexpectedly, the person sent did not bring people back, only brought back a word from her, she is very happy now, and she doesn't want to go back.
The heir she had worked so hard to cultivate left her at this moment, making her very sick and threatening not to have Pei Lian's daughter.
Unexpectedly, what her daughter didn't do for her in the end would be done by her granddaughter.
Thinking of this, Pei Li put away the photo album in her hand and said calmly: "Ximo, do you remember your mother's appearance?" ”
"I still remember a little bit."
"You look very similar to your mother, when she eloped with your father against my will, I was angry and said that I wanted to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with your mother, but unfortunately now our mother and daughter are separated by yin and yang!"
Hearing Pei Li mention her mother, Yan Ximo was also a little sad, her parents died when she was very young, and she was very envious of those children who had mothers.
"I know all of this!"
"Alas, now that your grandmother is gone, you only have one relative in this world, an old woman, and I can't watch your future life without anyone to take care of you!"
"Grandma, I can take care of myself!"
"It's different, one day you will get married, if your grandmother is not there at that time, who will support you?"
Get married? As soon as she thought of this word, Pei Huamo's figure automatically appeared in Yan Ximo's mind, but these were just wishful thinking on her part.
After collecting his thoughts, Yan Ximo pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Grandma, I'm still young, I'm not in a hurry to get married!" ”
Seeing this, Pei Li's voice became softer, and she grabbed Yan Ximo's hand and patted it gently.
"You're still young, but you always have to face the matter of getting married, so grandma wants to watch you get married while grandma is still there!"
"But grandma ......" Yan Ximo was interrupted when she was about to say something to refute, as if she had just taken a breath.
"Grandma, I showed you a good family, you have also seen that person, it is Huo Rebellion, the son of the Huo family!"
When Yan Ximo heard it, his voice rose a lot, "What? Huo Rebellion? ”
Could it be that the rebellion said something to grandma? Didn't she agree to his pursuit?
Seeing that Yan Ximo's reaction was so huge, Pei Li frowned slightly, she thought that Yan Ximo didn't like Huo Zhiyan.
But for her purpose, she had to let the two of them be together, so she smiled more kindly, "Ximo, in fact, grandma is also giving you a suggestion, you might as well try to get along with him first." ”
Withdrew his hand from Pei Li's hand and clasped his hands together, "I, I want to think about it!" ”
Seeing that she withdrew her hand, Pei Li was not annoyed, and continued to smile and said: "Okay, as long as Ximo is willing to promise grandma to think about it, grandma will be satisfied!" ”
"Well, I'll think about it!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Pei Li patted Yan Ximo's hand with relief, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.
Yan Ximo, who looked indifferent, and Pei Li, who was smiling, were in stark contrast.
"Grandma, if there is nothing else to do, I'll go back to the room first."
Pei Li nodded, her eyes on Yan Ximo's body until she left.
This little girl's temper is the same as her mother's, and any emotions are written on her face.
On the other side, after Yan Ximo left Pei Li's study, she was a little absent-minded, and she didn't even hear Aunt Sun calling her, and walked straight to the stairs.
As soon as Yan Ximo, who was worried, returned to the room, she locked herself in the room, her mind was very messy now, and she didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, her grandmother didn't force her, but just let her think about it, so that she could have a chance to breathe.
But it was obvious that Yan Ximo was thinking too much, because at breakfast the next day, Pei Li asked her the same question again.
"Ximo, have you thought about what your grandmother told you in the morning?"
Yan Ximo, who was eating with his head down, was suddenly called by name, and raised his head in surprise, "Huh? Grandma, what did you say? ”
Yan Ximo, who had been thinking about Pei Li's words, was a little absent-minded, and she couldn't see Pei Huamo's figure, so she was even more worried.
Although her people were at the dinner table, her soul didn't know where it had gone.
Seeing Yan Ximo's ignorant look, Pei Li said patiently: "Look at you, have you forgotten what I told you so quickly?" ”
At this moment, Yan Ximo reacted, and hurriedly explained: "No, I was just thinking about things just now. ”
"Have you figured it out?"
"Grandma, can you give me some more time to think about it?"
Although Pei Li was a little displeased, she still nodded, "Yes, grandma is not in a hurry!" ”
The topic ended, and the two of them ate their plates of food again.
Suddenly, Yan Ximo seemed to remember something, and then he looked entangled again, bit his lip, and asked, "Grandma, do you know where your uncle went?" ”
"Something went wrong with the U.S. branch, so I asked him to take care of things for me."
"Oh, I see!"
"Hua Mo, that kid is closest to you, didn't he tell you?"
Yan Ximo shook his head, the expression on his face was very frustrated.
Pei Li also comforted appropriately, "It must be that he left too quickly to tell you." ”
Although he was comforted, it didn't seem to be of much use to Yan Ximo, "Grandma, I'm full, I'll go back to the room first!" ”
After Yan Ximo finished speaking, he got up directly and left the table.
Is my uncle hiding from himself? Even if he doesn't like himself, there's no need not to even tell her about business trips!
Is my uncle really so ruthless? Do you have to wipe out her liking for him?
If he really thinks so, then she will follow his heart, and it will save him embarrassment in the future!
Her hollow heart was completely cracked open at this moment, and she was tormented so painfully.
For the next two days, Yan Ximo was in an out-of-body state, like a walking corpse without a trace of vitality.
Even Pei Li noticed that something was wrong with her, thinking that she was forcing her too hard, and persuaded her not to be too embarrassed.
Hearing Pei Li's voice, Yan Ximo seemed to have grasped the last straw, and there was a brilliance in his eyes.
"Grandma, I promise you, I am willing to have more contact with Huo Yiyan and try to accept him!"
Pei Li was stunned by this sudden news, and then said with a smile and amiable: "It's good that Ximo has figured it out, grandma won't hurt you!" ”
Yan Ximo nodded, with no expression on his face.
"Ximo, just two days later, the Huo family has prepared a drinking party, you accompany me over, and by the way, I will also have more contact with the Huo family boy!"
Yan Ximo agreed without hesitation, "Okay! ”
