Chapter 434 The Unlucky Female Supporting Character in a Metaphysical Novel 11
Zhao Qian sat in the passenger seat and grinned.
President Pei's attitude was truly unusual. Judging from his behavior, who could believe that he had only known the young woman opposite him for two days?
This behavior suggests either he's raising a daughter or he's trying to win over his girlfriend.
He still felt that the possibility of having multiple female bosses was greater than the possibility of having multiple young ladies.
It's just that President Pei's taste is quite surprising.
Pei Lin didn't notice his expression at all. He was still annoyed by his inexplicable seniority, and when he met Yun Qing's respectful and trusting gaze on the phone, he felt a little heartbroken and said:
"Are you going to call me uncle?"
Yun Qing paused for a moment, then said seriously, "If you want to..."
"I do not want!"
Yun Qing: ...
If you don't want to, you don't have to. Didn't you bring it up yourself? Why are you getting so worked up?
It seems men are also concerned about their age!
So she comforted him, saying, "Mr. Pei, you just have a mature and composed demeanor, but you're actually still very young!"
Pei Lin: ...Thank you for your comfort.
Before I met you, I never felt old at all!
"Don't call me Mr. Pei anymore, it sounds too distant."
"What should I call him? You won't let me call him Uncle Pei."
Pei Lin: !!!
You actually thought about it, didn't you?
Yun Qing then asked, "Can I call you 'brother'? It won't make me sound old."
Pei Lin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Never mind, just call me by my name."
Perhaps it was the name "Uncle Pei" that was so offensive that he felt calling him "brother" wasn't a good thing.
That's so impolite!
Does calling her "brother" make her sound too old?
Yun Qing pushed up her glasses and tentatively said, "Then how about I call you brother? It makes me look young, but it's okay for me."
Anyway, she's not good-looking to begin with, so it doesn't matter if people misunderstand her as being older.
"puff……"
Zhao Qian couldn't help but laugh, and then he met President Pei's gaze in the rearview mirror.
He instantly suppressed his laughter, sat up straight, and became as serious as if he were sitting in a conference room listening to a leader speak.
Pei Lin withdrew his gaze and looked at Yun Qing, who was about to call out to him on the phone. He interrupted her before she could speak, "I have connections!"
Yun Qing: Huh? Can't I even call you brother?
Pei Lin said decisively, "Just call me by my name!"
"A name is meant to be called; there's nothing impolite about it. You call your friends by their names too, right?"
Yun Qing thought about it. She had always been quite withdrawn and didn't have many friends.
Therefore, she was actually somewhat unfamiliar with how to get along with friends.
However, she is now friends with Wen Qi and Lin Ranran.
When things are more formal, she will call them by their full names, but when they are more relaxed, they are not so formal with each other and will not call each other by their full names.
Wen Qi and Lin Ranran would call her Yun Qing, and she would call her Qi Qi and Ranran.
For example, when dividing snacks.
Thinking about it this way, Yun Qing felt that Pei Lin's request was actually quite reasonable.
So, looking at Pei Lin's captivatingly handsome face on her phone, Yun Qing called out in a clear voice, "Lin Lin."
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhao Qian choked on his own saliva.
Pei Lin remained quite calm, only pausing for a second before replying without changing his expression, "Mm."
Then, in return, they changed their form of address, calling her "Qingqing..."
Zhao Qian: ???
It's stuck together now?
It has to be President Pei! He's so efficient and decisive.
While Yun Qing and Pei Lin were discussing the issue of address, Yu You, who had just arrived in a village, looked up at the sky and frowned.
A middle-aged man was following beside her. Noticing her strange expression, he quickly asked, "Master Yu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the feng shui of my hometown?"
Yu You shook her head. "No."
"It's just that the weather is a bit strange, which makes me feel uneasy."
The middle-aged man also looked up at the sky.
I don't see anything wrong with this.
Although they had just faintly heard thunder, it was clearly some distance away, and the rain shouldn't have reached this area.
The middle-aged man was puzzled, and Yu You didn't say much, but did some calculations on her own.
She couldn't figure anything out. She tried several different methods and almost suffered a backlash, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
She only realized that this anomaly was a bad thing for her.
The feeling of things slipping out of control made Yu You somewhat upset, but fortunately, after years of cultivation, her temperament was far superior to that of ordinary people, and she quickly adjusted herself.
"Let's go, Mr. Li, let's go take a look at your family's ancestral graves."

The ghost story at the Jiang family's house has been resolved. Despite their injuries, the three members of the Jiang family stubbornly made a trip to the Pei family's old residence.
Firstly, it was to put the old lady at ease, and secondly, it was about Pei Lin's fate.
Pei Lin is very busy. He has now completely taken over the Pei Group, and his parents have become hands-off managers.
Almost half a year has passed since their wedding anniversary trip, and they still haven't seen each other. If Pei Lin didn't remember to contact his family occasionally, he would definitely call the police.
At first, they planned to bring the old lady along and leave their son at home alone. However, the old lady was too old and didn't want to go through the hassle or bother the couple, so she didn't go with them.
When Pei Lin finished his work and returned to the old house, it was already very late.
The Jiang family was still talking to the old lady and had also contacted Pei's parents.
Seeing this, Pei Lin felt that his uncle's words were about something serious, and it must be something important. Usually, the old lady would have been resting by now.
Jiang Yao couldn't keep things to herself. As soon as she saw Pei Lin, she smiled obsequiously and served him tea and water, being overly enthusiastic.
Pei Lin sat down on the sofa and glanced at him. "What trouble have you gotten into this time?"
Jiang Yao said righteously, "Cousin, how could you think of me like that? Am I the kind of person who always causes trouble?"
Pei Lin looked at him without saying anything.
Under his gaze, Jiang Yao's momentum weakened, and finally he laughed sheepishly, pushing the fruit on the coffee table toward him, "Cousin, you must be exhausted from working so late, have some fruit."
In fact, Jiang Yao didn't act as wildly as other spoiled rich kids in the entertainment circle. If he dared to do anything reckless, his father could break his legs.
However, he especially loves to join in the fun. When he was a child, he would always drag Pei Lin along, which was fine, but now that Pei Lin is getting busier and busier, he can only go and join in the fun by himself.
If you keep getting together like this, it's easy to run into trouble.
In the video, Pei's mother asked cheerfully, "Ah Lin, did you miss Mommy?"
Pei Lin said helplessly, "Mom, I'm in my twenties, not two."
Before Mrs. Pei could say anything, Mr. Pei said with a serious expression, "So what if you're in your twenties? Does that mean you've grown wings? Does that mean you can forget your mother in your twenties?"
Pei Lin: Heh... You want me to let you have fun without worry and you're not happy about it?
He immediately changed his address, saying, "Mom, I miss you so much. Please come back soon. I'm so tired from work. Let Dad come back and help me."
Although Pei Lin's tone was calm, his mother thought it was her son being affectionate.
Thinking about how her son managed the entire Pei Group on his own, Mrs. Pei felt a pang of heartache and said to Mr. Pei, "Honey, we've been out for so long, why don't we go back? You go back to work, and let our son have some fun."
Mr. Pei: ...
You brat! Just you wait, wait until you have a wife, then I'll see how I get my revenge on you!
After the family had been making a ruckus for a while, Mr. Jiang finally got down to business.
He recounted in detail what Yu You and the master had said, as well as their behavior.
None of the people present are simple-minded or naive. Even Jiang Yao is not a complete fool; he knows the principle that possessing a treasure can be a crime.
Therefore, everyone is quite worried.
Pei Lin, on the other hand, reacted calmly, "I'm just a businessman, how can I be so incredibly expensive?"
Mr. Pei, whose expression had been solemn, thought about it and realized it made sense. "That's true. He can't be the emperor, so how much more expensive can he be?"
"Even if he truly has a noble destiny, he's probably not unique, is he? Aren't those powerful figures whose fates are tied to the nation's destiny also noble?"
“Just in the business world, although the Pei family is large and powerful, it can’t be said that they have everyone under their thumb.”
The Pei family is indeed powerful, but there is still room for improvement. Otherwise, how could Yu You, a master of metaphysics, have played such a role and made such great contributions to the Pei family?
But in reality, given Pei Lin's strong destiny and exceptional business acumen, couldn't he have accomplished it without her using mystical methods to help him?
Mother Pei couldn't help but ask, "Is that master reliable? Or is he just making things up?"
Mr. Jiang also hesitated, "But the ghost in our house was indeed dealt with by that Master Yu."
However, this does not necessarily prove that there is no problem with the fate she mentioned.
Pei Lin's words made everyone doubt the authenticity of this so-called destiny. Then he suddenly asked Jiang's father, "Uncle, are you saying that my destiny can protect others?"
Mr. Jiang said uncertainly, "That's what Master Yu said."
Pei Lin looked thoughtful. "Then this fate is not bad."
Others: ? ? ?
No, do you believe it or not?
