Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Chapter 384 Pei's father decides to leave Shanghai

When Yang Chu asked Wang Manni whether she wanted to buy back the shares she and Jiang Lai owned, Wang Manni really wanted to say no.

But before she could answer, she saw Yang Chu asking Jiang Haokun and Yin Jian questions.

Wang Manni knew that there was still more to be said about whether or not the shares would be acquired. Wang Manni knew that her vision was not as broad as Jiang Lai's, but she had learned a lot from following Jiang Lai during this time. Some things cannot be judged by appearances alone, and if you are unsure, you should not speak.

As expected, after Yang Chu finished asking Jiang Haokun and the others, they couldn't give a definite answer either. Wang Manni knew that this matter was not as simple as she thought.

Pei Duo had snapped out of her daze when Yang Chu asked Jiang Lai and the others whether they would take over the shares. Now, seeing that none of the people present could answer Yang Chu's question, Pei Duo became restless.

Pei Duo stood up, slammed her hands on the table, and glared fiercely at Yang Chu, saying, "Yang Chu, what do you mean? My dad..."

Before Pei Duo could finish speaking, her father slapped her to the ground.

"Shut up! Haven't you caused enough trouble already? If it weren't for the fact that you're Jiang Lai and Manny, would they be in such a difficult position? You still don't know the consequences. I wish I could beat you to death. I've never had a daughter like you."

Seeing Pei Duo knocked to the ground, Yin Jian quickly helped her up and whispered, "Stop making trouble! What you did today has put Sister Jiang Lai and Sister Manny in a very difficult position. If you keep talking, your whole family will lose all face."

Pei Duo covered her slapped face and looked at Yin Jian in disbelief. She couldn't understand how the trouble she had caused today had put Jiang Lai and Wang Manni in such a predicament!

Seeing that Pei Duo still didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, Pei's father gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and bent down ninety degrees again, saying to Yang Chu and Peng Jiahe, "Mr. Yang, Miss Jiahe, you must accept these shares. Manny and Lai Lai are also Pei Duo's sisters. Pei Duo is so immature now, they should also have a share. It's only right that they suffer some gossip. You don't need to have so many concerns."

Peng Jiahe was also frightened by Pei's father's actions, and hugged Yang Chu's arm, whispering, "What should we do now?"

Yang Chu sighed, walked up to Pei's father, helped him up and said, "If it weren't for what happened yesterday, I really wouldn't care about your 51% stake."

Pei Duo wanted to say to Yang Chu, "If you don't value it, then don't take it," but she only dared to think it in her heart. She didn't dare to say it out loud.

Pei's father nodded and said, "How could I not know what you're saying? With your net worth, Yang Chu, how could you possibly care about these few shares? But there are some things we must explain to you."

"I'm glad you understand, Uncle. I won't take your 51% stake for nothing. I'll buy it from you secretly so that Lai Lai and Manny won't be ashamed of themselves."

"How can that be! My daughter should pay the price for her mistakes. If she doesn't pay any price, wouldn't that be too indulgent?"

Yang Chu waved his hand and sat back down next to Peng Jiahe, saying, "How you teach your daughter is none of my business, and it won't matter to me in the future anyway."

Everyone present understood what Yang Chu meant; it was simply that he would no longer consider the Pei family as relatives or friends.

Mr. Pei glanced at Jiang Haokun and Jiang Lai, nodded, and said, "Let's do as Mr. Yang says! Anyway, the Pei family won't exist in Shanghai anymore, so it's no big deal for us to leave. We probably won't see each other again anyway. Let's leave it at that!"

Upon hearing her father's words, Pei Duo looked at him excitedly and said, "Do you mean our whole family has to leave Shanghai?"

Pei's father glanced at Pei Duo indifferently and said, "Whether you leave or not is none of our business. You've squandered the Pei Group that two generations have built up. What use are you? But it's fine this way, since you're unwilling to take over the Pei Group anyway."

"No... Dad... How... How can you blame me! I never said I was going to give up the Pei Group."

Pei's father looked at Pei Duo with a sneer and said, "What's the point of keeping her if we're not going to pay her off? Are we waiting for you to inherit her? Do you even know how to inherit her?"

"I don't know how to manage a company group, so I inherited it...!"

Pei Duo couldn't continue speaking halfway through her sentence.

Pei's father looked at Pei Duo with a sneer and said, "Continue talking? Why did you stop?"

Pei Duo lowered her head guiltily and didn't say a word.

Mr. Pei snorted coldly and looked at Pei Duo, saying, "I know you don't like business matters or managing the Pei Group, so I hoped that you and Yin Jian could be together. That way, I could hand the Pei Group over to Yin Jian, and you could focus on being a teacher. Later, when you have children, it would be good if the Pei Group were handed over to your children. But what was your answer?"

When Pei Duo heard that her father had such a plan, she glanced at Yin Jian with a guilty conscience, but kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Pei's father's eyes were filled with tears, and he raised his chin slightly. He had already shed enough tears today, and he did not want to waste any more on the heartless Pei Duo.

"I asked you before if you had any romantic feelings for Yin Jian, and you said no without a definite answer. So tell me, who am I going to give those shares in the Pei Group to? You? Do you know how to manage the Pei Group? Do you understand the intricacies involved? I'm afraid that in less than six months, you won't even know how you lost those shares! Why am I keeping those shares? Answer me!"

Pei Duo was startled by her father's final roar and stood timidly to the side, not daring to utter a word.

“From childhood to adulthood, your older brothers and sisters have always protected you. When you got a little older, Yin Jian protected you. But do you know that your older brothers and sisters also need to get married? Even if you don’t help them, you can’t cause them trouble! Do you know how your big scene here today will make your sister Jiang Lai and sister Manny get along with Yang Chu in the future?”

Pei Duo really wanted to say, "If you can't get along, then don't get along! What's so great about a womanizer anyway?" But Pei Duo didn't dare to say that. It was obvious that Jiang Lai and Wang Manni were devoted to Yang Chu, and with her father watching her like a hawk, if she dared to say those words, she would definitely be beaten half to death.

Jiang Haokun sighed and looked at Pei's father, saying, "Let it go, Uncle! Duoduo will grow up. She's still young. In a few years, when she's older, she'll understand things without us having to tell her."
