Pei Jun noticed that Yan Yincheng was not satisfied with the food. A thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "What, is it still not to your taste? The food outside is indeed a bit inferior to the home - cooked meals. You've been away from home for a long time, Acheng. Maybe what you need most is not the most exquisite cooking skills but the warmth of home. Our Weiwei is quite good at cooking. How about you come to our place tomorrow? I'll ask Weiwei to cook for you herself."
Pei Weiwei's complexion changed drastically. Cooking? She couldn't do it! As a rich young lady, she had never even stepped into the kitchen in her life. Where did she get any cooking skills? Wasn't her father setting her up?
However, if she could really get Lord Yan to their home and capture his heart through his stomach... Wouldn't she surely become the third lady of the Yan family?
Thinking of this, Pei Weiwei finally understood her father's intention. Her father was providing her with an opportunity!
She coquettishly said to Yan Yincheng, "My lord, Weiwei will surely not disappoint you."
Yan Yincheng didn't bother to hide the disgust on his face and coldly declined their offer.
"Since Uncle Pei invited me here to discuss the project progress, let's get straight to the point. I have other work arrangements later. Let's not waste each other's time."
Yan Yincheng had always been cold and unapproachable in front of outsiders. Pei Jun wasn't meeting him for the first time, so he was used to it. But Pei Weiwei felt extremely insulted and was also very indignant.
What was wrong with her? Why did Lord Yan dislike her so much?
She just didn't believe it. She was determined to win this man over!
After that, Yan Yincheng, Pei Jun, and Pei Mingyuan started to focus on discussing the progress of the Bay Project. Pei Weiwei became completely invisible on the side. She tried to butt in several times but couldn't find the right topic.
When talking about the future plan of the project, Pei Mingyuan suddenly said,
"I met a very interesting girl during the interview for the project manager today. Her project plan was truly amazing. If Lord Yan had been there, he would surely have been impressed by her brilliant ideas."
Pei Weiwei became alert: "A girl? Is she pretty?"
Pei Weiwei's words reminded Pei Mingyuan of Xu Zixi he saw during the interview.
She was so calm and composed. Even in the face of many critical interviewers, she showed no fear. Her delicate and beautiful face was as perfect as if it was sculpted by Nuwa herself. Her speech was not only generous and proper but also faintly revealed the aura of a decision - maker. He could guarantee that this girl's ability was definitely not inferior to the other interviewers on the spot.
Pei Mingyuan didn't notice that the corners of his mouth were raised high as he replied to Pei Weiwei,
"She's very pretty. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in Haicheng."
Pei Weiwei was very unhappy and even a bit jealous. "Brother, you used to praise me as the most beautiful girl in Haicheng! I don't believe it. Can she be more beautiful than me?"
Pei Mingyuan was at a loss for words. He coughed awkwardly twice. "You two are of different types."
"Dad, I don't agree to this woman joining Pei's!" Pei Weiwei said angrily. "If we really need to recruit a woman as the project manager, it would be better to let me do it! I can do whatever she can do!"
More importantly, what if this woman tried to seduce Lord Yan? She was going to marry into the Yan family and become the third lady! She would never allow anyone to compete with her!
The more Yan Yincheng listened, the tighter his brows frowned.
He didn't care whether the other person was fat or thin, beautiful or ugly. The food in Yishanju didn't suit his taste, and there was always a faint stench from that stupid woman Pei Weiwei in the private room. Her shrill voice was nauseating. Lord Yan had reached the limit of his patience.
"If I had known that Uncle Pei's invitation would involve other people irrelevant to the project, I wouldn't have come. Uncle Pei, find a quieter place next time."
After saying that, without waiting for the three Pei family members to react, he got up and quickly left Yishanju under the escort of Wei Shu and bodyguards.
Pei Weiwei was stunned. She didn't react until his figure completely disappeared from the private room.
"Dad, did Lord Yan just mean that he thought I was redundant? I, I just said a few more words. Does he have to treat me like this? I also want to have a good relationship with the Yan family. Wuwuwu..."
"Enough!" Pei Jun was getting a headache from her noise. For the first time, he somewhat agreed with Yan Yincheng's words. His daughter's voice was a bit too shrill, especially when she was being unreasonable.
"Lord Yan is just like this. As long as it's something he doesn't like, he may not even give face to his own father. You don't know his personality. It's inevitable that you'll be wronged during your first meeting with him. You'll get used to it after seeing him a few more times. Just pay attention next time and don't use those strange perfumes anymore."
Pei Weiwei bit her lips and said, "Got it."
Looking at Pei Mingyuan, Pei Jun said, "Mingyuan, this project is extremely important. Don't misjudge people. Don't give someone a green light just because she's good - looking."
Pei Mingyuan spread his hands. "Dad, where are you thinking? I really recruited her out of love for talent."
"Humph, anyway, I'm putting it here. The daughter - in - law of my Pei family must be well - matched. Not just any cat or dog can enter my Pei family. You should think carefully about what to do."
"Then you don't have to worry even more. She already has two kids." Pei Mingyuan lowered his eyes and said softly.
Pei Jun showed a satisfied expression and picked up his chopsticks again to start eating. This Lord Yan was too picky. These dishes were clearly delicious. Why did they become worthless in his mouth? What a freak.
When Yan Yincheng got home, the first thing he did was knock on Xu Zixi's door. It took him a long time to get the door opened.
"Are you Mr. Yin next door? Our young lady is taking a bath for the two young masters. She told me that if you came, you could come in and wait."
This woman's voice was very unfamiliar, and the address made Lord Yan frown tightly. Young lady? Young masters? Who was this person? Why was she in her house?
Yan Yincheng asked, "Who are you?"
Mama Zhang said, "I'm Mama Zhang, the new maid who came today."
Only then did Yan Yincheng remember that on the second day after they signed the agreement, she had stood him up to recruit a maid. Humph, if it weren't for his five million, how could a woman as generous as her afford to hire a maid? But it was good like this. With a maid to help her take care of the kids, she would have more time to study cooking and cook for him.
Walking into the house, Yan Yincheng sat down at the dining table. He could faintly hear the laughter of Xu Zixi and the two kids inside. Besides, there was also the sound of a TV from some unknown house outside. These sounds mixed together were different from the deathly silence in the Yan family's old mansion. They were full of the flavor of life, making him feel that he was truly alive in the world.
He couldn't help but think that it would be great if he could stay here forever.
