Chapter Twenty-One: Take Your Sister to the Banquet
Pei Yuli's face remained expressionless, showing nothing particularly unusual.
It's as if they can't understand what Tan Zhixu is saying.
"Really? Then it's really not a pity at all."
After saying that, he steered the conversation back to the topic.
"Since things have come to this, Qingqing, you should just go with Xu Yihuan."
"If she doesn't want to look for someone, then we don't need to worry about her."
Pei Yuli, too lazy to maintain his facade of gentleness, casually uttered these two sentences.
Wu Qingqing was stunned for a moment. After hearing Pei Yuli's words, she forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
“Brother Yuli is right.”
"In that case, I won't bother you any longer and will head back now."
Pei Yuli really does have a knack for doing good things that end up backfiring.
If Xu Yihuan doesn't look for her, how can she not look for her?!
She needs to go back and see what to do next.
Pei Yuli nodded slightly.
Xu Yihuan stood to the side, looking completely indifferent.
He raised his head when he heard this.
"In that case, I'll send my friend back too."
Xu Yihuan stood up and pulled Tan Zhixu towards the door.
Tan Zhixu followed Xu Yihuan's steps slowly and lightly.
Pei Yuli's eyes darkened again.
"Stop, I have something to tell you."
"I'll send someone to take your classmate back later."
Xu Yihuan originally intended to see Tan Zhixu to the door and then have Butler Zhang take him back.
At this moment, he heard Pei Yuli's words.
Xu Yihuan immediately quickened her pace.
"I won't."
He insisted on dragging Tan Zhixu into the car.
"Butler Zhang, drive! To Harbor Avenue!"
She was happy to do anything to annoy Pei Yuli.
She finally remembered why Lin Zhi said the guaranteed admission spot couldn't be transferred, but she still gave it to Wu Qingqing in her previous life.
The key lies with Pei Yuli.
Pei Yuli is a professor at Peking University.
It has its own laboratory.
With the Pei family's financial and material resources, as well as their support for Pei Yuli.
Pei Yuli's research funding will certainly be substantial.
This once elevated Pei Yuli's status at Peking University.
This spot was secured for himself by a professor from Peking University.
However, if Pei Yuli were to manipulate things, it might not be impossible to give it to Wu Qingqing.
After figuring it out, Xu Yihuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that we know the reason, we have a direction for what to do next.
Saturday night, Lishui Bay Villa.
"I heard you're hosting a welcome party at your home tomorrow?"
At the dining table, Xu Yihuan's family sat together. Xu's father's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his tone was very serious.
Pei Yuli did not respond, but picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in his mouth.
After swallowing it, he slowly asked, "What?"
"Take Huanhuan with you too."
Xu Yihuan, who was diligently eating her rice, was inexplicably called upon and looked up with a confused expression.
She wasn't really keen on attending Pei Yuli's welcome banquet.
If it were her brother from before, she definitely wouldn't have been absent.
But Pei Yuli hates him so much now, yet he still eagerly follows him.
Isn't that annoying?
She doesn't want to!
Xu Yihuan quickly refused.
"No, no, Dad, I have something to do tomorrow night."
"I don't have time to go to Brother Yuli's welcome dinner."
Upon hearing Xu Yihuan's words, Pei Yuli's originally gentle face turned slightly cold.
What a wonderful Yuli-ge! Before they had any disagreements, she would always follow him around, calling him "brother" affectionately.
"good."
Pei Yuli looked at Xu's father, his voice clear and crisp.
"It just so happens that many of my sister's classmates will be here this time. We all know each other, so we might get along better."
Pei Yuli resumed his gentle and refined demeanor.
He directly agreed to Xu's father's request, bypassing Xu Yihuan.
Xu's father had thought it would take some time to persuade Pei Yuli, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
Suddenly, everyone looked at their son with a kind and gentle expression.
“That’s right. You two siblings are one, you share the same blood.”
Pei Yuli nodded, his expression serious, but it was unclear whether he had taken it to heart.
Xu Yihuan, on the other hand, openly sneered.
Why would a group of his classmates come? Isn't it because they're paving the way for Wu Qingqing?
My father really believed it.
Pei Yuli didn't seem upset when he said this.
Even though they hate themselves, they still pretend to be doing it for their own good.
She could figure it out with just a flick of her toes.
Pei Yuli sending me there is definitely another way of trying to embarrass me.
Doesn't she understand Pei Yuli?
I'm thinking about my past life.
She hadn't simply given it a thought.
She and Pei Yuli were at least siblings, so no matter how things got, they wouldn't act impulsively in a critical moment.
So when she was filling out her college application, she thought of asking Pei Yuli to estimate her score so she could fill in the application form.
I called Pei Yuli.
The phone rang for a very long time, and she thought Pei Yuli wouldn't answer it again, but after the call was connected...
What came through was Pei Yuli's impatient voice.
He asked her what was wrong, and she was startled, remaining silent for a moment.
Pei Yuli's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
I wasn't talking to her.
But you can tell from the content.
He was guiding Wu Qingqing in filling out her college application.
Even at that time, she had already secured a place in the university through a guaranteed admission program.
I already know which school I will be going to.
They still wanted to treat it like a bet.
To plan a different blueprint for her that will never happen.
Thinking of this, Xu Yihuan still felt a pang of sadness.
The bond formed while growing up together will eventually fade away little by little.
But this life is different. In this life, no matter what, she will never go to Pei Yuli again and humiliate herself.
For Pei Yuli, the same bloodline and blood relation were completely unimportant.
Xu Yihuan felt a dull ache in her heart.
He casually ate a couple more mouthfuls of rice and then put down his chopsticks.
"Dad, I'm full, I'm going upstairs now."
Xu Yihuan locked herself in her room.
I sat in the chair in front of the vanity.
He spun around in his chair, feeling agitated.
His gaze casually fell on the sachet he had taken back from Uncle Liu on the table.
He kicked his leg and moved the chair a little closer to the table.
Her fair and beautiful hands took the sachet from the dressing table.
Since attending the welcome banquet is now an unavoidable fact.
Why not take advantage of this rare opportunity?
Xu Yihuan thought for a moment and then opened the bottom drawer of the dressing table.
Inside were necklaces and jewelry, some of which showed signs of dust due to infrequent use.
Xu Yihuan casually pulled out a long silver chain and placed it on the table.
The academic talisman must be delivered to Wu Qingqing.
This victim also has to be considered.
the next day.
Since it was a welcome banquet, quite a few people were expected to attend.
Pei Yuli had booked a table at Platinum Bay well in advance.
Platinum Bay is the largest hotel in Yuncheng.
Even if it's not a membership system, everyone knows that those who can get in are either rich or powerful.
Sunday afternoon.
Pei Yuli knocked on Xu Yihuan's door, his voice gentle.
"Are you done packing?"
Even in the sweltering summer heat, he was still wearing a long-sleeved white shirt.
Two buttons on the top were undone, and the sleeves were rolled up slightly, revealing a section of the forearm with prominent veins, making it look very sexy.
Xu Yihuan was still wearing her pajamas and showed no sign of moving.
Hearing Pei Yuli's words, he only responded lazily.
"Oh, it's here."
After saying that, Xu Yihuan grabbed a white T-shirt and put it on, then put on a black windbreaker jacket over it, and wore loose cargo pants on her lower body.
The jacket wasn't zipped up, and the long silver chain served as an accessory, paired with the high ponytail that was secured, making her look both cool and stylish.
However, in such an occasion that could barely be called a banquet, he seemed somewhat out of place.
Xu Yihuan took the blue academic talisman and casually put it into her pocket.
