Save you the trouble

  Smoke and mist in the air formed a thin veil, faintly separating the two generations.

  "Grandfather, I and Shen Xuan..." The handsome man's long fingers held a cigarette, and as he spoke, he had already extinguished it in the ashtray. He had thought about living a good life with Shen Xuan, but after what happened to Bai Xue, he realized that the person he cared most about was still Bai Xue. If things continued like this every day...

  He shook his head.

  "A Xuan has many good qualities, you should see more of her good side." Pei Li looked at his grandson through the smoke, he also knew that he was being a bit too harsh, but in the marriages of wealthy families, arranged marriages without love were common, and many had not even reached this level. In this mansion, whose marriage was formed by free love? Young people are obsessed with these things all day, how can they manage the family business well?"

  Pei Li blinked, then opened his eyes again, his gaze piercing as he stared at Pei Jin Cheng. "Actually, I'll just say this to you - regardless of where this letter came from, even if it was Ah Xuan who did it, I won't pursue the matter."

  Pei Jin Cheng was suddenly shocked, he looked at Pei Li in incredulity, "Grandfather? You actually protected her to such an extent!" Such protection made Pei Jin Cheng's conflicted heart lean towards Bai Xue again.

  Pei Li let out a long sigh, his hand with the Buddhist beads paused, as if stuck, and he shook his head. "Jin Cheng, if Ah Xun could think of getting rid of Bai Shan for your sake, Grandfather would be delighted. What's most feared is that... she remains unmoved."

  Pei Jin Cheng stared at Pei Li for a long time. He stood up, feeling extremely tired tonight. "Grandfather, if she dares to have such thoughts, I won't let her off!"

  Pei Li shook his head and sighed with a smile, "Alas, what if you can't wait for Ah Xun's thoughts in this life?"

  After a while, Pei Jin Cheng watched as Pei Li walked out of the study alone. He still remembered his grandfather turning back to look at him with an inscrutable faint smile, and then walking away, down the stairs, around the corner, and down another flight of stairs.

  He heard the electric vehicle outside Wutong Garden seemed to have started, and the wheels pressed against the small stones on the asphalt road, making a "puffing" sound.

  His heart was filled with waves of discomfort, how could he feel comfortable?

  He has always known that his grandfather is formidable; otherwise, with such a large family living in a big house, they would have been in chaos long ago.

  When his thoughts were seen through, he still felt a kind of inescapable embarrassment. How could he want to prove Shen Xuan's innocence? He didn't believe he thought that way, but Grandpa had to say it out loud.

  When Grandpa spoke out, he could only smoke but couldn't refute.

  When going downstairs, Shen Xuan had already taken a bath and changed into conservative pajamas, short-sleeved T-shirt and long pants.

  She blew dry her hair, which was hanging down to her shoulders, and watched him come in from the hall. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and gave him a faint smile. This smile was so bright that it was hard for people to look away.

  She smiled as if nothing had happened tonight.

  He watched her enter the bedroom, and after a while, she came out again with a quilt in her arms. She looked up at him apologetically, her voice as calm as usual. "Jin Cheng, go take a bath and sleep. I'll sleep here tonight. Tomorrow, I'll have someone clean up the empty room upstairs, and when it's ready, I'll move there to live. That way, you won't be bothered by me."

  Pei Jin Cheng's teeth "chomped" shut with a loud click.
