Chapter 4: The Pei Law Speech System... Encountered Problems.

Since Mr. Pei has made his choice, I will take care of all the follow-up work for Mr. Pei. I will transfer the documents and everything entrusted by Mr. Tang to you.

"Alright... I won't waste Mr. Pei's time any longer. You will take care of Young Master Tang until he is admitted to university. Mr. Pei, it's time to figure out how to transfer Young Master Tang's household registration to Qiancheng. This includes his student status, place of residence, and daily necessities... It seems like all of this will have to be taken care of by Mr. Pei..."

The lawyer's mouth never stopped opening, and Pei Lu was annoyed at the moment, thinking to himself: "I am a professor of law, do I really need you to babble on about these things?"

Of course... Pei Lu did not say these words out loud. He simply opened his lips and said, "I will make arrangements."

He was actually feeling distraught and didn't want to speak anymore. Little did he know that in the eyes of others, he seemed to be in full control and had already made meticulous plans. The crowd admired him greatly.

"Alright, since that's the case, we won't disturb the two of you. The conference room will be temporarily left to the two of you, hoping that you both can get along well." After the lawyer finished speaking, he gave a knowing look and withdrew from the room. Suddenly, only Pei Zhao and Tang Jie were left in the room.

I saw the boss, Tang Jie, slowly raise his head with a "coy and shy" glance at him, but immediately lowered his head like a startled little animal after just one glance. Pei Lv supported his forehead, feeling somewhat embarrassed and helpless.

In his heart, he thought, "Keep pretending if you want. I'll see how long you can keep up this act."

In the end, it was Pei Lv who spoke first. The man crossed his hands and placed them on his knees, looking at Tang Jie with indifference as if he was observing someone completely unrelated to himself.

"How old are you?" This was the first thing Pei Lu said to Tang Jie.

Pei Lu cautiously lifted his head and timidly glanced at him. "Eighteen," he said softly.

Oh, right, I almost forgot. He turned eighteen this year. The most important thing is that he failed the college entrance examination (gaokao) this year and will have to retake it...

Speaking of this, Pei Lu couldn't help but feel the urge to complain a little.

He's already an adult, and he still needs someone to take care of him? How lacking in self-control this child must be!

Of course, he could only keep these thoughts to himself, he wouldn't dare to actually say them out loud.

Pei Lv nodded without speaking, making it difficult for people to grasp his intention for a moment. Tang Jie then kept looking up at him, as if wanting to hear something from his mouth again. But after looking for a long time, it was only then that Pei Lv uttered another sentence, "When do you plan to move?"

Tang Jie was stunned for a moment.

"Qiancheng."

"Do you live together with her?"

Did he see it wrong? What's the deal with Tang Jie looking so much like a big-tailed wolf? It's like there's a tail attached to his butt that's wagging happily, and he's looking at him with an expectant expression. This made Pei Lv have to suspect whether he dressed too early, and Tang Jie hasn't started to turn dark yet?

He didn't say anything and nodded.

Tang Jie immediately began to cheer, as if he were truly overjoyed. Throughout this process, Pei Lv kept his eyes fixed on Tang Jie without blinking, as if saying, "Keep pretending, let's see what other nonsense you can come up with!" However, Tang Jie really did appear genuinely ecstatic, and it didn't seem like an act at all, which left Pei Lv undecided.

He didn't want to talk to this guy at all. After just a short conversation, he felt a chilling breeze coming from behind, making him want to hug himself tightly. However, when he thought about the "B-grade" that Siri had just mentioned, he had to put on a facade again.

"Since you're willing, then we'll set off tomorrow. We have classes at school."

Tang Jie naturally knew Pei Lu's identity, and at this moment, Yuke also understood what it meant. He originally thought that this person in front of him was only interested in his deceased father's inheritance, and would simply deal with him casually, at most giving him a monthly allowance. However, he didn't expect that this person actually wanted to bring him back home to live.

He has never lived with anyone before, and his so-called parents don't often come home. Moreover...they also seem to dislike him very much. When he was young, he would be dissatisfied with this and even suspect that he wasn't their biological child. As he grew up, he even had a paternity test done, but the result was the same: they are indeed biological father and son.

He didn't often live with others, and this person named Pei Lv seemed to be the first.

He knew that many people, after receiving such a large inheritance, would show their true colors, no longer working or doing anything productive, only thinking about how to squander the money. However, this person was a bit different.

He actually asked him to hurry up and go home with him, and even said that he still had work to do?

However, it didn't take long before he started smiling. Perhaps it was because he saw that person in front of him, so he was still pretending. Maybe it wouldn't be long before his true colors were revealed.

Sure, let me translate that for you: "Sure, sure. He wants to see how long he can keep pretending."

So, the two drama queens took to the stage like this, speculating about how long the other could keep up the act, each hoping to catch the other off guard and expose their true intentions in an instant.

As for how long this scene can be played, it's hard to say. It all depends on everyone's abilities.

Pei Lv had no experience taking care of children, let alone any past experience of interacting with them. Therefore... he directly took Tang Jie to his home in Qiancheng and had the downstairs auntie make a meal for Tang Jie. However, he didn't eat together with Tang Jie, but instead went upstairs to his own room after settling Tang Jie down.

(Player successfully disguises, B-rank +3)

Pei Lv: "......"

He pretended the whole way, refusing to say a word to Tang Jie just to maintain his aloof image. Little did he expect that he would endure all the way until the end, only to level up by a measly amount.

A mouthful of old blood was vomited out from the chest!

Can you stop being such a cheapskate?

"Don't you really plan on giving me a little more?" Pei Wenti probed.

(Not included)

So arrogant! "Fine! Since you're not adding, I'll go downstairs and tease that snobby male supporting character. Adding just a touch of flair, I couldn't care less."

Siri: ......

Pei Lv still didn't hear the other person's voice. Immediately, he pulled back the covers and went downstairs.

He had not changed his clothes yet, still wearing his formal attire from the daytime. The buttons on his suit were done up meticulously, giving him a complete air of an elite aristocrat.

Tang Jie was still eating while Auntie busied herself in the kitchen. There was a pile of dishes on the table, indicating that Auntie had indeed prepared a lavish spread.

Tang Jie immediately stopped using his chopsticks when he saw him coming down, looking at him with anticipation. He thought he was coming down to have a meal.

Pei Lv casually waved his hand, signaling him to continue eating. Then, he sat down at the table.

"Should I start repeating the year from the third year of high school?"

(The player is doing something completely out of character, B-grade-2)

The sound of Siri was right by his ear, but Pei Lv, as if he hadn't heard it, continued to speak to himself. He had thought he would lose a lot of points, but unexpectedly, only two points were deducted for each sentence he said. So, he decided to say a few more sentences and brush up on the perverted good will points.

"Mmm." Tang Jie heard the words and quickly set down his chopsticks, assuming a serious and obedient expression as if he were a well-behaved child attentively listening to the elder's speech.

Pei Lv felt extremely relieved.

In his heart, he silently sighed. Little Lotus, before turning dark, was truly adorable. She didn't understand anything and relied on her parents for everything, which gave him a sense of fulfillment.

"Do you have a favorite high school in Gan City?"

"I'm not very familiar..."

"Do I help you choose?"

"Thank you."

"You can call me Uncle Lu," he said.

"......"

"What's wrong?"

......

"Don't want to be called?"

......

"Then let's call it a name."

Anyway, this child is already an adult. If you call him uncle, it would make him seem old.

Just as the two of them had chatted for a dozen or so sentences, Pei Lu suddenly found himself astonished to realize that he couldn't speak anymore... or rather, he found himself unable to say a word all of a sudden...

His mouth seemed to be suddenly sealed shut.
