Chapter 395: Chapter 395: The Old Fox’s Ulterior Motive
Pei Yansi’s gaze turned frighteningly cold in an instant, as if it had ford a layer of ice, that even the atmosphere inside the car seed to plumt below zero.
Chen Lingng, seeing Pei Yansi looking this way, shrank her neck a little in fear.
She said softly, “Brother Yansi, I know you won’t agree to this, so I’ve been trying hard to persuade Grandpa to give up on this idea.”
The day of her engagent to Pei Yansi was the day Chen Lingng had dread of, yet Grandpa Chen proposed inviting Shen Heyu to the engagent party, which Chen Lingng also resisted from the bottom of her heart.
Why invite soone to jinx her special day?
Thinking of this, Chen Lingng felt irritated and frowned, but Grandpa Chen was particularly insistent on his own opinion.
Grandpa Chen had always considered Chen Lingng’s wishes, indulging her in everything, but this ti, he unexpectedly acted contrary to her, leaving even Chen Lingng unable to understand his thoughts.
“I’ll see him personally.”
Chen Lingng suddenly brightened up, her eyes widening as she looked at Pei Yansi, “Brother Yansi, are you coming over for dinner at my place tonight?”
The reason Pei Yansi was visiting the Chen family wasn’t for dinner, but to see Grandpa Chen alone.
After arriving at the Chen family’s residence, he went straight to the study to find Grandpa Chen, who seed to have anticipated his arrival and had the servants prepare two cups of coffee in advance.
“You said you want to invite Shen Heyu to the engagent party, I disagree with this,” said Pei Yansi, his eyes betraying a hint of irritability.
“This matter has already been decided by , and the invitations have been prepared,” Grandpa Chen, usually a tea drinker, drank a rare cup of coffee today to wake up.
“Back then, you went to great lengths to push her away from . Now that she’s gone, why do you want her to co back, even to attend the engagent party?” Pei Yansi didn’t want to cause Shen Heyu a second injury, although her attendance at the engagent might not affect her.
“You’re about to be engaged to ngng, and yet you’re defending another woman in front of . If word of this gets out, it could be detrintal to both families’ publicly traded companies,” Grandpa Chen said, his old and calculating eyes fixed on Pei Yansi.
Pei Yansi let out a cold laugh.
He slamd his hand down on the table forcefully, “I’m telling you, this is absolutely non-negotiable.”
“Don’t pressure with the company’s affairs. You’ve been publicizing my wedding with Chen Lingng, attracting outside attention. Now you want to drag my ex-wife into this, are you trying to throw her into the fire?”
When Shen Heyu had said she wanted to leave Pei Yansi, what she wanted was to live a peaceful life.
Pei Yansi didn’t want the attention focused on Shen Heyu; if she got involved, she would likely never have a peaceful day again.
“You’ve been separated from her for so long, and yet you’re still so considerate of her, but you don’t know that she’s recently been dating Lu Yi,” Grandpa Chen said, peering shrewdly through his glasses.
Pei Yansi clenched his fists tightly.
That really hit a nerve.
“They’re just friends.”
His voice was as cold as if it had been chilled with ice.
“Do you not believe your own words? Didn’t you see them shopping together with your own eyes today?” Grandpa Chen spoke lightly, but his words struck straight at Pei Yansi’s heart.
Pei Yansi felt a dull pain in his chest.
The images from before at the mall gushed into his mind like a spring, and he furrowed his brows fiercely.
“You actually had soone follow . Was today’s incident orchestrated by you, deliberately making run into her?” Pei Yansi was now very suspicious of Grandpa Chen’s motives.
Grandpa Chen chuckled in denial, “You flatter too much. I can only say that the two of you are ill-fated, which is why you happened to et at the mall.”
“Besides, it was Lingng’s first date with you. I don’t think she would have wanted to run into Shen Heyu at the mall, so how could I possibly have arranged it on purpose?”
Even if he used Chen Lingng as a shield, Pei Yansi wouldn’t completely believe his words.
“If you are so considerate of your granddaughter, would you suggest sothing like inviting Shen Heyu to the engagent party?” Pei Yansi knew what Grandpa Chen was up to.
But Shen Heyu had already left his side, and the Chen family was still not letting her go, which made Pei Yansi very angry.
“I invited Shen Heyu to the engagent party precisely for Lingng’s sake, to completely shatter any relationship between you and her.” Grandpa Chen rely t Pei Yansi’s gaze, clearly seeing that his current expression was especially dark and dangerous.
With a loud bang.
Pei Yansi raised his hand and slapped the table; his face was so gloomy it seed it could drip ink.
“I won’t let you succeed.”
“I’m afraid this matter won’t go as you wish.” Grandpa Chen picked up two red invitations from the table, their color glaringly bright.
“I have already prepared invitations for Shen Heyu and Lu Yi. I believe that even if you don’t hand out the invitations first, in a short while, they will co to deliver the invitations themselves.” Grandpa Chen tossed the two invitations carelessly onto the coffee table.
“What do you an?”
“What I an is that it seems they’ve gotten close. You’ve been secretly observing Shen Heyu, haven’t you? You should know that the relationship between Lu Yi and Yuexue is also very good. Yuexue has already accepted him as her dad.”
“Yuexue is my daughter; I absolutely won’t allow her to call another man ‘dad’.” Pei Yansi clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles creaked.
“That’s not up to you. Her mouth is on her body; if she insists on calling another man ‘dad,’ what can you do? If you must bla soone, bla Lu Yi for being more adept at winning over children.” Grandpa Chen kept provoking Pei Yansi.
Suddenly, Pei Yansi laughed instead of getting angry.
He was laughed to anger.
“An old scher is an old scher, but no matter how cunning you are, I won’t let you succeed.”
“But you don’t have much ti left. Your engagent with Lingng is just around the corner; even if you want to drag it out, you can’t delay for very long.” Grandpa Chen confidently revealed a smug smile, thinking of leisurely settling onto the sofa.
“Moreover, even if you could delay, can Shen Heyu and Lu Yi continue to put it off? The relationship between their two generations is developing faster and faster.”
He was right.
Even if Pei Yansi could buy so ti to investigate and clear his na.
But having personally witnessed the interactions between Shen Heyu and Lu Yi, if he didn’t stop them now, things would probably only…
Pei Yansi took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and upon opening them again, his gaze was profound and pitch-black.
“Originally, I planned to have soone deliver this invitation to them, but you ca to see today, and I suddenly changed my mind.”
Grandpa Chen smiled mysteriously, glancing at the invitation on the table, “I’ve decided to have you deliver this invitation to Shen Heyu and Lu Yi.”
