Chapter 191: Participated in his life from the beginning
Xiao Li parked the car outside the villa, watched the two people enter, and left.
I didn't tell anyone at the old house about Pei Yao's return.
After entering, Lu Qi looked at the electrically closed door and said to Pei Yao, "I think you should talk to Grandpa."
Pulling Lu Qi's hand and entering the room, Pei Yao paused, turned his head and looked over, revealing a puzzled look: "Huh?"
Lu Qi followed him in and his eyes fell on the huge prototype glass fish tank with a small shark in it.
Without asking about the shark, he continued, "Because I think Grandpa might not be so unkind."
"How do you say this?"
Regarding his grandfather, Pei Yao actually didn't know how to talk about him.
Is he a good leader? Yes, he is. Is he a good grandfather? Well, I guess so.
Pei Yao's parents were with him for only a short period of time, and his grandfather was with him throughout his life before he became an adult.
His grandfather taught him how to be a good man and gave him great success.
But if we talk about closeness, then that has never been the case. In such a large family, there is no shortage of mentors who have accompanied him in his growth and people who take care of his life.
It is said that grandparents are closer than grandchildren, but probably because of the death of parents, the grandparents no longer have that gap, so the relationship is different from that between grandparents and grandchildren in other families.
Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Xiao Li earlier that Grandpa tacitly approved of Mom and Dad's burial. Logically, if someone only cares about the overall situation, he wouldn't care about his son's wishes."
Pei Yao had thought about this before and was unwilling to comment.
But he didn't deny Lu Qi's idea and continued to listen to her: "Grandpa is the Lord of Xiongchai. His first priority is naturally to protect the country. Since Dad passed away, you are naturally his first heir. But compared to the family, he should love his family more."
"Dad wanted to be buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery, to preserve the family's eternal glory, but he didn't. He pushed you to grow, but after you left the circle and knew you were capable of creating your own empire, he didn't force you to return. So, I think what he was thinking was—a parent's love for their child is a long-term plan."
Lu Qi's words gave Pei Yao a new perspective.
Silence for a long time...
In the restaurant, the private chef I had hired earlier left a hot dinner at six o'clock on time, and there was no one else at home.
After the two finished eating, a cleaning lady came an hour later and cleaned the kitchen.
Pei Yao was sitting on the second-floor balcony with a glass of bourbon on the table.
The habit of drinking bourbon has nothing to do with Lu Qi. It is his grandfather's taste. He doesn't know when he adopted his old man's taste.
The computer at the desk is turned on, but there is no work content, so I just put it on the homepage.
After getting familiar with the rooms in his home, Lu Qi mixed a glass of homemade cheese liqueur, walked to the balcony, and stood in front of the balcony railing with the person sitting next to him, looking at the night sky.
Seeing a particularly bright thing, Lu Qi thought it was a star, but when he looked closely, he realized it was a plane flying by.
At this time, the voice of the person sitting there came.
In a low and hoarse voice, he said, "You're right, it's time to talk."
Perhaps this time is a good time to come back and get married. Compared to forcing the marriage, maybe he also hopes that his grandfather will respect his choice and bless him...
The word "blessing" is a bit sentimental and it is too difficult for the two of them to say it.
Hearing Pei Yao say this, Lu Qi's eyes flashed, and he turned around and leaned against the glass railing: "Really?"
"What are you so excited about?"
Look at her, she's so excited as if she's accomplished something big.
Walking up to Lu Qi, Pei Yao stretched out his hand to trap her between the fences, and saw that her face was flushed after drinking a little wine.
However, Lu Qi has always had a good alcohol tolerance. He won’t get drunk even after ten glasses of this cocktail.
He just replied proudly, "Of course I'm excited. You listened to my advice and obeyed me so much, which proves that I will be the boss of the family after marriage."
Pei Yao leaned over and gave her a glare: "You have no conscience. Have I not listened to you enough? I haven't praised you enough yet."
Lu Qi smiled lightly: "This is different."
I didn't bother to ask her why it was different, I just understood what she meant.
"Are you going now?" Lu Qi asked.
She really does whatever she thinks of.
He put his hand on her waist and said, "What are you thinking about? If you want to have a proper discussion, why not pick an auspicious day? Besides, Lord Pei may not be here right now. You need to make an appointment to see him."
This is the red-walled gate. Fortunately, Pei Yao is not there, otherwise Lu Qi thought that she would have to make an appointment to see him.
Sometimes she thought, maybe this person didn't want to enter the wall because of her.
But she didn't want to think about this matter carefully. She couldn't calculate how much each of them had paid for each other.
That night, Jingshi didn't see any stars. Lu Qi was held in his arms by the balcony railing. I don't know what they were looking at, but they talked a lot.
Lu Qiyou asked how Pei Yao's father died.
He said it was a mission offshore. Back then, there was an island near Malacca where opium paste was produced and sold.
It was originally an international cooperation, but unexpectedly they were betrayed. Later, they were attacked from all sides. In order to protect his teammates, his father sent out evidence of domestic political parties' involvement in the trafficking of opium paste and sacrificed his life.
Later, his teammates sent back the evidence, and the powerful man in the country fell. As for the number one international opium cream organization, it was not until Pei Yao became an adult that he completely destroyed it.
When Lu Qi heard this, he imagined Pei Yao at the age of nineteen: "Did you destroy Phipple Island?"
Lu Qi had heard of this island.
Eleven years ago, the Phipplers Island in the Malacca Strait was notorious and feared by everyone.
Due to the complexity of that sea area and the struggle for power, this island is difficult to find, and it is home to the most ferocious pirates.
It was not until it was destroyed that the island appeared in the news and in the public eye.
It is said that half of the island is planted with poppies and the other half is a factory of sin.
Then a fire broke out and the poppy flowers were completely burned.
However, there was no detailed report on how this incident was eradicated, and only a few records were kept.
Pei Yao put his arm around Lu Qi's shoulders, rested his chin on her shoulder, and smiled softly: "It's not just me, there's also Jin Feng, the ten members of the Alpha Team, the Sixth Imperial French Squad of the European Union Army... well, and Salia Johnson."
Lu Qi paused, turned his head to look at him, blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "I seem to hear my name."
"Yeah." Pei Yao lowered his head and stared at her, "It's you."
"What was I doing there?"
"You were the one who set the poppy field on fire."
His tone was so calm that Lu Qi couldn't figure out whether he was serious or joking.
She was just an ordinary person, but she seemed to have done something earth-shattering and heart-wrenching.
She seemed to have been involved in his life from the very beginning.
"Really? Why should I burn flowers?" Lu Qi asked in shock.
Pei Yao tilted his head slightly and turned his face to her: "Give me a kiss and I'll tell you."
