The rain is getting heavier.
Pitch-black clouds rolled and surged across the sky, as if the heaven and earth were about to collapse in an instant.
It was early spring, and the capital city experienced three consecutive days of heavy rain, and the weather immediately became as cold as deep winter.
As soon as he came out of the cafe, the overwhelming cold air immediately swept towards Ji Yuqi.
Across from the financial building, a news story was playing: Pei Group's stock had plummeted to its limit down, draining the operating funds of several of its projects and leaving it with a serious financial deficit. The chairman of Pei Group had appeared in court, urgently filing for bankruptcy protection...
"Ji Yuqi——!"
Pei Huaijin chased out of the cafe and grabbed Ji Yuqi, who was holding an umbrella and looking up at the news. His eyes were bloodshot. "My brother is lying in the hospital because of you. You actually said you were afraid that Lu Yanjing would misunderstand, so you wanted to avoid suspicion?! Ji Yuqi, you are too cruel!!"
Pei Huaijin's expression was distorted with anger, and his eyes were full of ferocity and madness.
Ji Yuqi was quiet.
Without saying a word.
He didn't even bother to look at Pei Huaijin.
Pei Huaijin stood in the cold rain, while Ji Yuqirong lay in the shadow under an umbrella, the two of them in a silent stalemate.
In the end, Pei Huaijin admitted defeat.
His voice was almost begging: "Ji Yuqi, I know you don't love my brother. From the beginning to the end, the only person you love is Lu Yanjing, but... please don't abandon him at this juncture. Go to the hospital to see him, even if it's only for a minute, let him recover."
"Ji Yuqi, please beg me."
In Ji Yuqi's impression, Pei Huaijin is a dandy and unruly person.
However, at this moment, he humbled himself to dust for Pei Yucheng.
Ji Yuqi didn't even dare to breathe.
Because, it hurts.
Between the lungs, there are needles pricking them, densely packed and penetrating deep into the bone marrow.
"Look, the Pei family is completely finished." Ji Yuqi raised his hand, pointed at the huge LED screen opposite, and said expressionlessly, "The stock price has hit the limit down, and the fiscal deficit is serious. If the Pei family wants to make a comeback, it will probably be harder than climbing to the sky. Pei Huaijin, rather than falling into the mud, it's better to let him die..."
"What did you say?!" Pei Huaijin couldn't believe that the woman in front of him, whose eyes looked calm and gentle, would say words that were more cruel than the last.
It's really heartbreaking.
Fortunately, it was him who came today, not his brother.
Ji Yuqi said, "As the outside world has rumored: I pursued Pei Yucheng only to provoke Lu Yanjing. You should also know that Lu Yanjing and I are childhood sweethearts, but he has always been against family marriage. I want to marry him, so this is the only option. Of course, your brother is a useful chess piece, but after three months of dating, Lu Yanjing couldn't hold back anymore..."
"elder brother?!"
Ji Yuqi's back suddenly stiffened.
Turning his eyes slightly, he saw Pei Yucheng, wearing a black and gray vertical striped hospital gown, standing there without him noticing.
The rain gradually subsided.
However, between heaven and earth, thick white mist floated in the air.
Depressing and cold.
Ji Yuqi stared straight at the shadow, walked towards him step by step in the cold wind and rain, and subconsciously tightened the handle of the umbrella in his hand.
Everyone said: The Prince of the Pei family is serious, cold and cruel.
However, in Ji Yuqi's cognition, although Pei Yucheng was indifferent, when he smiled, there was a sea of stars in his eyes, sparkling and dazzling. But at this moment, when he looked at her eyes, there was nothing but coldness, and only endless darkness and silence.
"Ji Yuqi."
He called her name, which was colder than the rain mixed in the wind, spreading along every nerve of Ji Yuqi to the deepest part of her heart.
Ji Yuqi's whole body trembled suddenly.
She lowered her eyes in a panic.
However, the next second, her thin jaw was suddenly strangled by a cold hand.
He lifted her chin roughly, forcing her to meet his gaze.
Pei Yucheng's eyes were cold and sinister: "I'll only ask you once: follow me, or Lu Yanjing?!"
It was raining and the light was already bad, and it became even darker with the black umbrella. Pei Yucheng's exquisite face, as delicate as a work of art, melted into the shadows, cold as ice.
Before, the distance was too far and Ji Yuqi couldn't see clearly, but now she could see clearly: after only five days, Pei Yucheng had not seen her for a long time, and he was not only much thinner, but his face was also haggard, and even his lips were sickly pale.
Just now, in the cafe, Pei Huaijin said that he refused to eat or drink in the hospital, and even refused to take medicine.
Ji Yuqi bit her lip, desperately suppressing the intense pain in her heart. After a long while, she spoke word by word, "Pei Yucheng, it's meaningless to keep pestering me. Besides, Lu Yanjing and I have already obtained the marriage certificate..."
The fingers pinching her jaw suddenly tightened. Ji Yuqi thought that her bones would be crushed by Pei Yucheng, but he slowly loosened his fingers.
In front of her, he indifferently removed a hair tie dotted with pink gems from his wrist.
The small hair tie slipped from his slender fingertips and fell into the mud with a "thump".
This hair tie was given to him by her three months ago when he agreed to date her.
She said: This is a sacred tool to declare ownership, you are not allowed to take it off, especially when meeting other girls.
Pei Yucheng has always disliked it, but he never leaves it aside for a moment, not even taking it off when sleeping.
But at this moment, he threw it away with his own hands.
Ji Yuqi bit his lips tightly.
"Ji Yuqi, as you wish."
"In this life, Ji Yuqi, don't let me see you again..."
Pei Yucheng didn't even bother to look at her again. He turned away indifferently without even looking back...
"Ji Yuqi, I curse you and everyone with the surname Lu to die a miserable death!!" Pei Huaijin cursed viciously, and then chased after Pei Yucheng.
The bustling city center is bustling with people coming and going.
But at that moment, Ji Yuqi felt that the whole world was silent.
She held up a black hand and stood motionless on the street, with her eyes lowered, staring quietly at the hair tie on the ground.
The wind is blowing.
The more it blows, the bigger it gets.
Ji Yuqi's long black hair was flying in disarray.
Her tears were blown out.
Finally, Ji Yuqi squatted down, carefully picked up the hair tie, rolled up his sleeves, and carefully wiped the dirty water off the hair tie bit by bit...
