Chapter 693: Let him give up that idea!

At noon, Li Ye and Fu Yiruo went to Pei Wencong's house as guests together.

When the two drove to the residence, Pei Wencong's mother was already standing under the steps to welcome them, obviously treating Li Ye as the most honorable guest.

After Li Ye got out of the car, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be so polite. I'm just coming over to visit, making it so formal will make me very embarrassed..."

Pei's mother held Li Ye's hand and said frankly, "Even if you come to my house every day, we must treat you formally. This is etiquette, and it is also our duty."

"No need, no need, Old Pei and I are good friends~"

Li Ye was quite embarrassed, because in the past, Pei's mother was as enthusiastic and casual with Li Ye as she was with her nephew, but today she was truly a bit reserved.

【Could it be because of Watching Wen Leyu?】

When Li Ye married Watching Wen Leyu, Pei Wencong only then learned of Watching Wen Leyu's specific identity, which also confirmed the conjecture that Li Ye was a "noble person from the north."

But Li Ye didn't want to form a barrier between the two because of this identity.

But fortunately, Fu Yiruo was very familiar with Pei's mother. Together with Pei Wenhui, they giggled and helped Pei's mother inside, and also prepared lunch together, which enlivened the atmosphere at the scene.

It was impossible for Li Ye to go to the kitchen. He and Pei Wencong both belonged to the "big boss" level of wealthy families, sitting on the sofa waiting for the servants and Pei Wenhui and others to be busy, not even bothering to pick up an oil bottle if it fell.

Li Ye took a moment and asked in a low voice, "Old Pei, explain to Auntie later that we are good friends working together, everyone shouldn't be so distant."

Pei Wencong smiled sheepishly and said, "Mr. Li, I can understand your broad mind and humble character, but my mother can't understand it!

Since a few months ago, I have often competed with several top tycoons in Hong Kong for newspaper headlines. My mother knows very well how I got to where I am today. In her heart, you are a 'god.' How can mortals not maintain awe when treating a god?"

Listening to Pei Wencong's meaning, as his wealth and status became higher and higher, Li Ye's image in Pei's mother's heart became more and more awe-inspiring.

Li Ye smiled in surprise, "Old Pei, don't tell me you are also in awe of me?"

Pei Wencong smiled and didn't answer, but his expression explained everything.

If it was said that when Li Ye first came to Hong Kong, Pei Wencong only treated Li Ye with great respect because of the "forty-year great fortune" divined by Master Huang with his life.

But over the past four years, Li Ye had continuously "demonstrated miracles," easily pushing Pei Wencong into the ranks of Hong Kong's top tycoons. How could he not be in awe?

Turning his hands to clouds and covering them to rain—which god in this world is easy to deal with?

More importantly, Pei Wencong is no longer irreplaceable now.

Four years ago, Li Ye had no other choice but to bestow wealth upon Pei Wencong and Luo Runbo and these people.

But now Fu Guiru has intervened, and Fu Yiruo is about to graduate. People are blood relatives, and he, Pei Wencong, is also a very smart person. How could he not position himself well?

Humbly following Li Ye's side was his most correct choice, from the very beginning.

"Alright, alright, Old Pei, don't always let your imagination run wild... Bring the newspaper for me to see, let me see how you are competing for headlines with those people."

Seeing Pei Wencong like this, Li Ye let him be. He wasn't a psychological counselor, so where would he have the energy to conduct psychological counseling for Pei Wencong?

Besides, appropriate awe is not a bad thing.

Pei Wencong brought many newspapers to Li Ye. Sure enough, there were large photos of Pei Wencong on them, and the captions were even more exaggerated and shocking, having the posture of rating him as the Star of Hong Kong.

Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked Pei Wencong, "Is this to build you up to destroy you? Or to win you over?"

At any time, there are powerful forces behind such mouthpieces as the media. Pushing Pei Wencong to such a high position cannot be without purpose.

Pei Wencong said faintly, "Both, I suppose! Now some people still can't see the situation clearly, thinking that I am too close to the mainland. They are all short-sighted people."

Li Ye said in a low voice, "Will you be in danger? I see your security force is not strong either! How many bodyguards in total?"

"Heh~"

Pei Wencong smiled, "Mr. Li, like Mr. Huo, I don't even bring a bodyguard now, and no one dares to touch me. Great Britain is no longer the Empire on which the sun never sets that it once was."

"."

Li Ye also smiled.

When the Joint Declaration was officially signed, Pei Wencong had entered the Great Hall of the People, and later had been on the VIP stand for the National Day military parade, so he had a special mark on him.

"Eh~, Old Pei, this headline of yours is a bit interesting!"

Li Ye smiled while flipping through the newspaper, and suddenly saw an interesting piece of news.

There were three photos in this news report: one was Pei Wencong, one was Maggie Cheung, and the other was "Xiao Qian."

Isn't this a standard peach-blossom scandal?

Seeing Li Ye paying attention to his scandal, Pei Wencong was somewhat embarrassed, but still smiled and said, "Just written randomly by bored reporters."

"How is it written randomly? It's just good deeds you've done, isn't it?"

Pei's mother happened to walk over. Hearing her son still trying to deceive Li Ye, she couldn't help but get angry.

"Mr. Li, please enlighten my stupid son! Thirty-five and still no official wife, hanging out with female stars all day long. How can this go on!"

"."

Li Ye looked at Pei Wencong in shock and couldn't help but say, "Old Pei, have you really learned to be bad?"

Pei Wencong hadn't had any news of marriage for the past few years. Li Ye thought he was busy with his career and had no heart for family! It turns out he was obsessed with the flowers!

Pei Wencong said uncomfortably, "It's not... I just invested in a few movies and happened to have some exchanges with them..."

Li Ye said in disbelief, "Then this Maggie, is she also willing to let you have one foot in two boats?"

Pei Wencong smiled casually: "She is very strong-willed, so... hee hee hee~"

Fine! Really fine!

Li Ye finally understood. Pei Wencong likes the drama of two women fighting for one husband. Anyway, he is the male lead; the more fiercely you fight, the more he enjoys it.

"You're still laughing!"

Pei's mother said sternly, "I'm telling you, Ah Cong, Xiao Hui will graduate next year. After she graduates, I will arrange her marriage. You, this big brother, must have the appearance of a big brother. You must choose a good family woman to marry before next year."

"."

Li Ye and Fu Yiruo had lunch at Pei Wencong's house. At the table, Li Ye made a promise that he would definitely bring Li Da Yong over to propose to the Pei family next year.

Then Li Ye and Fu Yiruo said goodbye together. Only then did Fu Yiruo whisper to Li Ye, "Brother, I seem to have heard Pei Wenhui say that Mr. Pei once wanted to pursue a mainland woman last year, but was rejected by her, and then he suddenly changed."

Li Ye frowned: "Mainland woman? What do you mean?"

Fu Yiruo said, "It seems to be my sister's assistant."

"Let him give up that idea! Our mainland girls don't like fickle playboys." ===== CHAPTER 694 =====
