Phi-Fic Chapter 268 Gift
Chapter 268 Gift
Be caught off guard.
After hearing Pei's mother's unexpected words.
Even Bai Yuan, who was always calm and composed, had a frozen expression on his face for a moment.
Bai Yuan: You told me this is Chinese? ? ? ?
Bai Yuan grew up in a large compound in Beijing.
Those who can live there are all wealthy and powerful people.
She used to be the leader of the kids in the courtyard, and she met many people's parents when she was settling troubles everywhere.
I've heard a lot of gossip about family matters.
Although not every family loves their children as much as their life.
But those in wealthy and powerful families would not treat their children as objects and send them away at will.
Even a business marriage is based on equality and mutual benefit between the two parties.
Therefore, when Bai Yuan heard these words out of the blue, he was really shocked.
It's inevitable that we look at people through tinted glasses.
Are all of you Haiqi people so simple and honest?
Mother Pei disagreed with this, she chuckled and continued:
"This is the Pei family's greatest sincerity."
……
……
After getting out of Pei's mother's car, Bai Yuan stood there for a long time without moving.
The conversation with Pei's mother just now was still echoing in my mind.
It was not until a breeze blew by, gently ruffling her hair and bringing a hint of coolness that she finally came back to her senses from the baptism of reshaping her worldview.
Although it seemed like she was away for a long time, she actually returned to school just in time for school to be over.
Just as she was gathering her thoughts and preparing to go back to class, pack her things, and then take the bus home.
As soon as she opened the classroom door, a hand suddenly stretched out from inside and pulled her in with force.
Bai Yuan frowned slightly, and was about to take out the electric shock self-defense device from his pocket, but when he raised his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Pei Jin's face full of worry and concern.
"Did my mother look for you? What did she say to you? Did she not make things difficult for you?"
Without waiting for Bai Yuan's response, Pei Jin said to himself with an irritated look:
"Whatever she says, don't take it to heart or take it seriously! She sometimes speaks in a strange way, and I can't stand her accent sometimes..."
Bai Yuan listened to the boy's chattering and his thoughts wandered.
Pei's mother's words "I give it to you" echoed in her ears.
She looked at Pei Jin's blue eyes, which were so blue that they were almost shiny.
I feel more and more that there is a kind of naive cruelty.
Bai Yuan was not an ignorant girl, so she naturally knew what the word "send" meant to Pei Jin.
The so-called marriage is a way for representatives of two families to come together based on interests and bonded by emotions to strengthen the connection and cooperation between each other.
Marriages among large families are also based on equality and mutual benefit. Even if there are grudges, for the sake of the families behind them, they have to give each other a way out and maintain superficial peace.
Now Pei's mother used the word "send".
This is equivalent to directly breaking the "equality" in equality and mutual benefit, and putting both parties in an unequal position from the very beginning.
Once a gift is given, the person who receives it has absolute rights to dispose of it.
When the gift is replaced by a living person, it brings a sense of ambiguity and fantasy.
In short, a marriage of arrangement requires giving the fiancé a title, but one who is sent over does not.
If Bai Yuan was hesitating about whether Pei Jin was worthy of the title of fiancé, or if she had a better candidate and was hesitant, then she didn't have to hesitate.
The signal that Pei's mother sent to Bai Yuan was that she was willing to use Pei Jin in exchange for the opportunity to further cooperate with the Bai family.
Even if not in such a respectable capacity.
Especially since Pei Jin is the only son of the Pei family and the only heir to the Pei Group in the future, one can imagine how important his position is.
Although she was eager for quick success, it was enough to show Pei's mother's determination and sincerity to win.
As a beautifully wrapped gift, Pei Jin himself had no say in this matter.
It's just a tool for the mother to pursue fame and fortune.
Bai Yuan was also able to understand the deeper meaning behind Pei's mother's actions.
After all, the Pei family is already big enough in Haiqi. Even if they don't want to become powerful, they are still able to make a big splash in Haiqi.
Pei Jin is a pampered young master, the legitimate heir of the Pei family. There are so many people rushing to curry favor with him, why does he have to do something far away and endure the hardship without any effort?
It is known that Pei's financial situation is good, there are no loopholes that need to be filled urgently, and it is not on the verge of bankruptcy.
In fact, the answer is self-evident.
Compared with the Bai family, which has its roots in the capital, the Pei family is obviously the first to bear the brunt and have to face succession and reshuffle.
There are many problems within the Bai family, and there will be even more problems within the Pei family, which has been rooted in Haiqi for decades.
Perhaps if the huge size does not have a carrier that can support its weight, it will face the tragedy of being attacked by many and the interests divided up.
Pei and Bai have different modes of action.
For various reasons, the Bai family decentralized power among various shareholders, forming a balanced situation of mutual restraint headed by Jiang Zhi, who holds the largest number of shares.
In the Pei family, mother Pei holds all the power, which is concentrated in the hands of one person, who has absolute say and control.
Although there may be intrigues in the former, they are basically in a stable state of mutual checks and balances, and no one dares to act rashly.
The latter may seem to be a one-man show, but if the heir does not have sufficient ability to deserve this power, it will only take a moment for the empire to collapse.
In other words, if Pei Jin himself was good enough and capable of supporting the huge Pei family, his current predicament would be easily solved, and at least he would not be without any say in his own marriage.
It is precisely because his own ability level does not meet the requirements that he needs external help to ensure Pei's unshakable position in Haiqi.
Putting aside Pei's mother's own selfish desire to leap into the top ranks of power.
Looking around, only the Bai family has the ability to protect the Pei family.
If one wants to smoothly get through the crisis when taking over in the future and avoid being attacked and swallowed up by other families, cooperating with the Bai family seems to be the only choice and way out.
Pei's mother would naturally seize every opportunity and use all means to establish an unbreakable alliance with the Bai family.
It cannot be said that the reason why Pei's mother did this was because she loved her son deeply and had good intentions. It can only be said that Pei's mother's ambition and the crisis that would soon come to the Pei family just happened to coincide with each other.
Bai Yuan didn't want to know what kind of mentality Pei's mother had when she put her only son on the negotiation table and sold him as a package.
but…………
She looked at the other person's face that was close to her, with a mixture of European and American styles. Her sight moved from the deep, charming blue eyes that were as bright as gems, across the high nose bridge and the lips that outlined a perfect and distinct arc.
Bai Yuan was a little curious about what kind of expression and reaction Pei Jin would have when he found out that his mother had given him away with just a few words.
