Capítulo 1773: Chapter 1178: Inverted Tiangang
“Don’t just eat rice, have more vegetables.”
Pei Linhan served his niece so vegetables. Since coming to the East Sea, he hadn’t indulged but rather played the role of a nanny, taking care of all the cleaning and cooking. He also squeezed in so ideological education for his daughter. It was hard work, but he enjoyed it.
“That’s enough, that’s enough.”
Luo Li’er quickly said. Perhaps subtly influenced by her cousin, as a star, she was particularly cautious about her food intake. She aspired to emulate what was worthy of learning and had developed a habit of balanced eating. Her roommates would often call her for late-night snacks, but she never went.
Although she never cared about the boastful title of school beauty, girls can’t help but care about their figures.
She absolutely didn’t want to beco overweight,
“Eating only does good. Are you disliking your Uncle’s cooking? It’s definitely better than takeout, right? Haven’t you seen the news? Many takeouts are filthy.”
“My sister always orders from high-end restaurants with special delivery, it’s very hygienic.”
Luo Li’er stated fairly.
Pei Linhan was at a loss for words.
Alright then.
Even his niece had grown up.
She’d learned to rebut him.
Though knowing this was inevitable, children were like birds; they’d eventually grow stronger wings. Yet, he still felt a bit downhearted.
“Since you enjoy all the good food and drink with your sister, how co you haven’t gained any weight?”
“Uncle, I’m not like my sister, I’m not as tall as her. If I grow any more, I’ll beco a ball, and who would marry then?”
Pei Linhan was amused.
“You’re thinking too far ahead, don’t worry about that. Right now, there’re more n than won, even if you really beca a ball, soone would definitely want you.”
“…”
“…”
The sisters at the dinner table fell silent.
“Uncle, how did you pursue my aunt back then?”
Luo Li’er couldn’t help but ask.
Total ironclad straight guy!
Pei Linhan’s eyes showed nostalgia as he sighed, “This story has to start from a dark and windy night. Back then, we didn’t have cinemas, only video halls. I rember we watched a foreign film, it was black and white, called Roman Holiday…”
“Roman Holiday?”
Luo Li’er complinted, “Uncle, I didn’t expect you to be so romantic.”
“Hehe.”
Pei Linhan chuckled calmly, “It was your aunt who chose it and also invited .”
Hearing this, Luo Li’er glanced at her cousin, who was quietly eating with her bowl in hand.
“After watching the video, she took ho…”
“Uncle, you let Auntie take you ho?”
Luo Li’er couldn’t help but interrupt softly.
Isn’t this a role reversal?
Pei Linhan’s drifting thoughts ca back, “What’s the problem? Back then, your uncle was a well-known handso guy in a ten-mile radius. Your aunt was quite formidable to make her way out of so many competitors.”
No wonder he got along so well with Jiang Chen.
There really are similarities.
Luo Li’er struggled to hold back laughter, making her baby-like face show a weird expression.
Yet, must admit, based on his current appearance, Pei Linhan wasn’t exaggerating.
Plus, his daughter Pei Yunxi’s genes also speak volus.
Why can’t the old boy once have been the dream of countless young girls?
“Okay, that’s enough, let’s not talk about the past.”
Pei Linhan, in a manner that suggested he wouldn’t brag about past glories, said, “Otherwise, your aunt would feel embarrassed.”
Boss Jiang was undoubtedly mistaken.
It’s obvious Pei Yunxi’s parents are still alive.
“I don’t think Auntie would be embarrassed, she’d probably take out that treasured washboard she couldn’t throw away.”
Luo Li’er chuckled secretly.
“You naughty girl.”
Pei Linhan rolled his eyes, then smiled himself.
“Uncle, when are you going back?”
Asked Luo Li’er while eating.
“When does your school break for holidays?”
Luo Li’er got the hint, “Uncle, you can go back first, you don’t have to wait for .”
“It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry. After all, the New Year is almost here, and your holiday should co soon, too.”
Luo Li’er glanced at her cousin, She could stay at school to avoid the lilight, but her cousin had nowhere to escape. She knew her cousin must be quite stressed recently.
“Uncle, there’s so much to prepare for New Year, you can’t leave everything to Auntie. Uncle, you should go back first.”
Indeed, the sisters are united.
Luo Li’er felt quite sorry for her cousin.
“Your aunt asked to co.”
Pei Linhan said resolutely, knowing the two girls wanted to send him off, “I’ll take you both back ho together.”
Luo Li’er felt helpless, out of tricks, with nothing more to offer.
“I’m not going back this year.”
Pei Yunxi spoke up, breaking her silence.
“What?”
Pei Linhan was unprepared, even Luo Li’er was surprised, looking at her cousin unexpectedly.
“I have work.”
Pei Yunxi said simply.
Pei Linhan imdiately put down his chopsticks, frowning hard, “Didn’t you just promise ?”
Indeed.
Who said more resting and coming ho more often?
Turning away, she broke her promise.
One can’t bla Pei Linhan for being upset; anyone would’ve been annoyed, let alone a parent.
“What work is so urgent that you have to be busy over the New Year? The Spring Festival Gala? No one watches it anymore.”
“Going abroad.”
Pei Yunxi’s explanation was still concise, but it didn’t matter, as long as she answered.
“No, even if it’s the biggest thing, it must wait. This year you have to co ho with .”
Luo Li’er didn’t dare make a sound, keeping her head down while eating, but her ears were quietly alert.
“Dad, so things aren’t for to decide.”
Of course, Pei Linhan could understand his daughter’s predicant, “I’ll go to your company and talk to Xiao Jiang. I don’t believe it’s so urgent that they can’t spare ti during New Year.”
Pei Yunxi could have passed the trouble on for soone else to handle, but she didn’t do that.
“It’s unrelated to CX Entertainnt, it’s about my other investnt.”
“Sister, you’re doing business?”
Luo Li’er looked up.
“Yes.”
“What kind of business?” Pei Linhan asked curiously.
“I invested in an international fashion company, a foreign brand.”
“What’s its na?”
“K.E.”
Luo Li’er was shocked, her obsidian-like eyes widening, “Is it true?”
“Is this company good?”
Pei Linhan cautiously asked his niece.
Luo Li’er nodded repeatedly, “It’s quite powerful. Although not well-known dostically, it’s a well-established high-end brand abroad, loved by many celebrities. Sister, so you’re a boss now?”
No matter how successful an artist is, they’ll always be soone else’s cash cow, whereas the identity of a boss is fundantally different. Even as a shareholder, that’s an upward leap!
“I can act now, but I can’t do it forever.”
Pei Linhan nodded, his discontent slowly fading, holding his chopsticks, “It’s good you have such insight. People age, many admire your youth, but who could withstand the ruthless passage of ti.”
“…”
Sound reasoning.
But.
—Why is it also so amusing?
Luo Li’er froze briefly, finally couldn’t hold back expressing her truest feelings.
“Uncle, why do I feel you’re so much like Senior Jiang?”
“I’m like him? Absolutely not!”
Luo Li’er stuck out her tongue playfully.
Really, don’t say it.
In psychology, there’s a theory that daughters are likely to fall in love with n who resemble their fathers.
But it’s just a hypothesis.
It hasn’t been scientifically proven.
Plus, considering the non-conflicting but not harmonious relationship of the Pei father and daughter, such a possibility should be even less likely.
“Then when will you co back?”
See.
Pei Linhan just disliked the murkiness of the entertainnt industry, but he wasn’t really overbearing. He didn’t oppose his daughter pursuing other careers.
Pei Yunxi picked up her bowl, lowered her eyes, with a wave in her gaze, unseen by others.
“After this trip, I’ll spend a good amount of ti with you.”
Pei Linhan was slightly stunned, full of relief.
“Alright, Li’er can be our witness, don’t back out again.”
Luo Li’er was beaming with joy.
