Chapter 85

Pei Xin left the office directly after hanging up the phone.

After the Dragon Boat Festival is Pei Pingjin's fiftieth birthday. Pei Pingjin has to do a lot of things as he gets older, and Pei Xin naturally has to go through the motions.

The winery is not in the city center, so the driver drove to the underground garage. The central venue of the banquet was brightly lit like daylight, and most of the prominent people from all walks of life in City A were there. Pei Xin arrived belatedly.

Pei Pingjin was beaming in the center of the venue, holding a champagne glass. When he saw Pei Xin, he introduced to the middle-aged man next to him who was also in a suit and tie: "Mr. Lu, this is Pei Xin, the dog. You must have met at the last bidding meeting. "

Pei Pingjin's birthday party is naturally attended by high-profile people, and Mr. Lu in front of him is even more outstanding. He started from scratch when he was young. He led the Lu family to the top for more than 20 years, and finally established a firm foothold in the powerful clan. He was quite calm and confident. He said with a smile: "I have seen Mr. Pei young and promising. He has a lot of talent." Ah."

Pei Xin chatted with others with a smile on his face.

Naturally, Zhao Shenwen could not miss this occasion. He had been looking for Pei Xin since he entered the venue. As a result, he followed his old man around for a long time before finally seeing him. He walked over with a look of displeasure on his face and said, "I thought you weren't coming today."

Pei Xin was not shy. He glanced at him indifferently: "You are very attentive."

Zhao Shenwen took a sip of wine with a sad look on his face: "I have been locked up at home by the old man for more than a week. I finally came out. How can I not be attentive?"

He was there all day long. It was common for him to be imprisoned by the old man without being formal, and no one was surprised. The number of times was so many that Pei Xin didn't even bother to laugh at him.

After the dinner party officially started, there were more and more people. He frowned and looked at his watch: "I'm leaving first."

Zhao Shenwen figured that he didn't want to socialize with others and had to use Pei Xin as a cover, so he immediately pulled him away with eyes wide open: " You've been here for a few minutes and you're leaving now. Why don't you finish the drink with me?"

Pei Xin didn't bother to answer and slapped his hand away: "I see you're drinking so hard that you really can't let your dad accompany you. "

Zhao Shenwen said with a dirty look on his face: "Are you in a hurry to find a woman or something..." Before

he could finish his words, he saw Pei Pingjin coming from the opposite side, straightened his face and called out: "Uncle Pei

. Behind Pingjin was a young man. Zhao Shenwen squinted his eyes and remembered that this man seemed to be named Pei Yan. Pei Yan's appearance was similar to that of Pei Pingjin when he was young. His eyebrows were deep but not peaceful. He smiled submissively and called out: "Brother, Brother Shenwen."

Pei Xin turned a deaf ear, and Zhao Shenwen naturally didn't answer.

Pei Pingjin nodded: "What have you been busy with lately? Shenwen, I haven't seen you for a long time."

How could Zhao Shenwen have the shame to say that he had been detained for more than a week? It was also obvious that Pei Pingjin must have come here for Pei Xin and smiled and exchanged greetings. The sentence just slipped away.

Pei Xin had an expressionless face and said nothing.

His attitude was cold, and Pei Pingjin couldn't keep the smile on his face: "The dinner is not over yet? Where are you going?"

Pei Xin had no patience to waste time here: "What's the matter?"

There were too many people around, and Pei Pingjin had to suppress his anger. Straight to the point: "You have some free time tomorrow night to meet Mr. Lu's daughter."

Pei Xin said "no time" with a cold face and left.

"Wait!" Pei Pingjin called him, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, and he was slightly sullen, "The cooperation between the Pei family and the Lu family is very important, you don't know, I am just letting him It's just for you guys to meet."

Pei Xin turned his head and raised the corners of his lips slightly, but no one could see anything related to a smile in his cold eyes: "The Pei family and the Lu family... He

raised his chin and looked at Pei Yan, and said casually, "It's the same if you let him go."

Pei Yan's face changed slightly when he was suddenly mentioned, but he still maintained a fake and stiff smile. Pei Pingjin didn't even look at him, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you trying to embarrass?"

Mr. Lu had a daughter for a long time, and he regarded her as the apple of his eye. There was no reason to associate with an illegitimate child.

Pei Pingjin didn't look sideways, not noticing that Pei Yan's face had completely turned pale. He gave Pei Xin an ultimatum categorically: "If you don't go tomorrow, you won't have to take the surname Pei anymore."

Pei Xin never took Pei Pingjin's words seriously . In his eyes, he sneered, picked up his coat, and turned to leave. People were coming and going in the banquet hall, and he had disappeared before he even reached the door.

Pei Yan stared at his back and for a moment forgot to calm Pei Pingjin's emotions. It wasn't until Pei Pingjin called him that he finally came to his senses, and his flawless smile returned to his face: "Dad, don't worry about me, he will definitely go tomorrow."

Pei Pingjin snorted coldly, and couldn't help but sigh. In one breath: "What can I do to him if he doesn't go? It's a misfortune for the family to give birth to such an unfilial creature."

How could Pei Yan not know that Pei Pingjin said those words just to protect his face. As long as Pei Xin is alive, he will be the only son in the Pei family, and he will always be an illegitimate son who cannot be seen in the light.

Even when outsiders call him "Mr. Pei", they don't associate him with the "Pei" of the Pei Group. They just think that he is a small boss of a branch. He can only endure Pei Xin's ridicule and contempt, and he has to nod and bow in front of others. .

Even the things he has now will disappear in an instant after Pei Pingjin loses his right to speak.

Thinking of this, Pei Yan tightly held the wine glass in his hand, but his face was unusually calm, and he blamed himself: "Dad, don't worry, although I am not as capable as my brother, I will try my best to help you share the burden."

Pei Pingjin He nodded slightly but said nothing, then picked up his wine glass to socialize with the guests.

The banquet ended very late. Pei Yan drank and asked the driver to take him to the bar.

This bar was invested by him, and he raised a group of young people who used to live in the alley. He deliberately chose a remote location, and naturally the business he was doing was not a serious business.

The driver was sent by Pei Pingjin. Before getting off the bus, Pei Yan said with a smile: "It's hard work." It

wasn't until he stepped onto the narrow and winding stairs that he was finally able to tear off the tie that had been restrained for a long time, his face darkened, and he looked suppressed and cruel. The energy is revealed.

Pushing open the secret door on the second floor, he smelled a familiar smell of blood and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

The room was dark, with only three or five people standing under the dim light. When they heard the door open, they all turned their heads: "Mr. Pei."

Someone stepped forward to take the coat from his hand. Pei Yan waved his hand, and several people stepped aside, revealing The man's face lay on the ground.

Ji He was already a little delirious. The lower half of his face was wrapped in black tape, his eyes were unfocused, and his cheekbones and corners of his eyes were swollen on his thin, dark yellow face.

Pei Yan looked at it condescendingly for a while, showing a satisfied smile, but the next second he kicked him in the stomach viciously.

Ji He was twitching on the ground in pain, but could not make a sound.

Pei Yan leaned down with a smile on his face: "Ji He, you owe me money, how about I make a deal with you?"
