"Please go ahead, Miss Sue."
"You keep saying that you want to protect the reputation of the old patriarch. Let me ask you, does the old patriarch still have any reputation among the most important partners of the Pei family here?" Yvonne asked.
"This..." The man was speechless, not knowing how to reply.
"Let me answer for you," Yvonne said softly. "Actually, when we found out about this, we were really surprised and even found it hard to accept. But after thinking about it carefully, everyone makes mistakes, including the old patriarch."
"It's not scary for a person to make mistakes. What's scary is that he doesn't admit it and even uses dirty and despicable means to cover it up."
"In the end, this person is the one who stinks. I'm sure you don't want to see the old patriarch like this, do you?"
The man nodded. "So according to what Miss Sue means?"
"Only by making up for it on the spot can you be good."
"I think it's time to restore Pei Mu's identity. However, I can understand your stance. How about we both take a step back? What do you think?"
"How do we each take a step back?"
"Pei Gu is the clanmaster. He should know about it. Let's tell him about it, and then we'll give Pei Mu a title in some way."
"He might not be the old patriarch's son. He might even be Pei Gu's adopted son, or even his own son. What do you think?"
Samuel nodded. "You have your reasons, but Pei Mu is innocent. Besides, he is the son of the old patriarch, isn't he?"
"Yvonne's method can not only protect the reputation of the old head of the family but also prevent you from making mistakes in this matter again and again. Otherwise, you won't be able to cover it up. Once outsiders find out about this, the reputation of the Pei family will only suffer a greater blow than you think."
The black shadow nodded and took off his veil. It was an old man.
"Actually, over the years, I've always felt guilty towards Pei Mu. Every time I wanted to help him, I knew that I couldn't do it. I couldn't sleep at night either.
"Since the distinguished guest has said so, I have nothing to say. Let's do as you say."
He had no choice. After all, what if Samuel was unhappy and told everyone about this? Wouldn't the reputation of the Pei family be ruinedthen?
Moreover, Samuel was a VIP and the most important person in the Pei family. Since he could let bygones be bygones, it was not a bad thing to end this matter here.
