Not knowing before fighting?
That might be a bit inappropriate.
But encountering such an accident, from a certain perspective, could be considered a kind of fate.
Setting aside the premise of drunk driving, Pei Linhan still quite admired this young man, no, he should say, his daughter's boss, from the bottom of his heart.
The Great East Sea.
Rich people are as plentiful as fish fry in the river.
How many people can maintain humility after gaining a high social status?
Especially at such a young age.
It's even rarer for someone who achieves success at a young age to remain neither arrogant nor impatient.
"Boss Jiang..."
"Uncle, you can just call me Little Jiang."
Jiang Chen hurriedly interrupted, once again reiterating, and his attitude was indeed beyond reproach.
Even if nothing happened, and even if he really ended up in the hospital tonight, Pei Linhan certainly couldn't say anything against such a perpetrator.
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Jiang Chen was modest and polite, and he wasn't someone who didn't understand the boundaries.
Other people's gestures of courtesy are part of their upbringing.
Easily taking it seriously would be his own mistake.
Even his niece seemed quite familiar with the other party, but, after all, their identities were different. What kind of social status did the man have?
The chairman may call citizens "comrades," but can one really believe they are equal to the chairman?
Although he and the other person's father might be peers, the world doesn't rank people solely by age. Being older isn't an excuse to "rely on age to sell old."
I have to admit.
Pei Yunxi managed to remain a unique presence in the entertainment industry, without being corrupted by this big dye vat, and you can see some reasons from her father, Pei Linhan.
Pragmatic, insightful?
"It's okay, uncle, Yun Xi and I are more like comrades in the same trench, both striving for the development and progress of our country's film industry."
Look at that.
That's what you call emotional intelligence.
That's what you call eloquence.
Maybe the alcohol's effect has worn off now, or the other party is no longer dwelling on it. Boss Jiang, whose guilt was gradually pressed down, regained his former charm.
It's just that his form of address might be a bit "too much?"
Yun Xi?
That's certainly not a name one can call casually.
No doubt about it.
This is indeed the first time Jiang Chen addressed her this way.
The space inside the car is quite small, and Luo Li'er's expression instantly became strange. Instinctively, she glanced at her cousin driving up front. Unfortunately, from this angle, she couldn't see her cousin's face clearly.
Have her cousin and Jiang senior gotten so close?
It's even become a bit intimate.
However.
Considering the circumstances, it seems... not that serious.
Adjusting measures to current conditions.
Maybe he's just intentionally trying to make her uncle happy.
Of course, Pei's father doesn't know how the younger generation came to know each other, but he just felt that this sounded... well, quite pleasing.
It's not that he's flattering him.
Rather, his daughter's boss's words showed affirmation and respect for her.
Pei Linhan nodded subconsciously, feeling even more favorable toward this young man, who should have been high and mighty but carried no airs, and so he no longer declined.
"... Little Jiang, then I will take the liberty."
"Of course, uncle, considering your age, you should be older than my father."
"How old is your father?"
Pei Linhan instinctively responded.
"My dad..."
Jiang Chen, sitting in the front passenger seat, gazed at the surging traffic outside and chuckled lightly, "He should be in kindergarten by now."
Kindergarten?
Pei Linhan and Luo Li'er both felt momentarily disoriented.
Only Pei Yunxi.
The speed of the M8 slowed down a bit.
"What do you mean?"
Pei Linhan asked tentatively, truly not understanding.
"My dad passed away when I was in college, and considering the time, he should be in kindergarten now."
Pei Linhan was caught off guard, suddenly stupefied, with emotions surging.
"I'm sorry..."
"Uncle, I'm the one who hit you, why are you apologizing?"
It was only then that Pei Linhan realized he hadn't fully understood this young man.
Without exaggeration, having lived for half his life, he had never met such a young man.
Not to mention only in his twenties, many aging folks would probably feel ashamed in comparison.
"Then your mother must be incredible."
Jiang Chen softly smiled, but did not speak.
Luo Li'er quietly held her uncle's hand. Faced with his puzzled look, she silently formed words with her mouth.
"Jiang senior's mother also passed away long ago."
Pei Yunxi, who had remained silent, tilted her head slightly, only to see the person beside her sitting quietly, his profile calm and serene, while outside the window, the river of cars and pedestrians flowed, along with the towering buildings and the city's neon lights.
What kind of mindset does one need to speak about the most profound pain in the world with a smile?
Of course, she didn't let Pei Yunxi take her to the door. Once they reached the Spring and Autumn Plaza, Jiang Chen proposed to get off, bidding farewell to the Pei family.
Even after returning home and parking at his front door, Pei Linhan remained somewhat pensive.
"Uncle, don't take it to heart, you didn't do it on purpose, and Jiang senior wouldn't mind."
Luo Li'er comforted him.
Even though her uncle was relatively stubborn, as her mother would say, sometimes as stubborn as a mule, he had a heart of gold.
Moreover, any parent hearing such things would feel empathy more easily.
"Alas."
Pei Linhan let out a slow sigh, "I thought he must have had a good family upbringing, but I never expected..."
"Jiang senior really works hard. When he was in college, he relied on scholarships, which our school all knew, and who would have thought he had such a huge family fortune."
"Li'er, you should know better than that. Since ancient times, conquering Jiangshan is easy, but keeping it is hard. Even if his parents left him a considerable estate, he needs the ability to maintain it. Many wealthy families have seen their fortunes squandered by the next generation, which means he has ample ability."
Luo Li'er was in a momentary daze.
