Ji Yuqi not only couldn't understand the situation, but was completely unable to comprehend it.
She stared at the man sitting in the main seat in astonishment.
The Pei family is involved in the war between Country T and Country A and is at the most intense stage.
Once Country T declares surrender, the next thing that will follow is: war reparations.
The Pei family provided so much free arms support to Country T, how could they remain unscathed?!
A war between countries will result in huge losses, not only in manpower but also in financial resources.
Whenever war reparations are initiated, the party paying the compensation always suffers the consequences: at the very least, they lose everything; at worst, they may even be sent to jail.
So how did Pei Yucheng stay so calm and composed while still playing cards?!
A half-burned cigarette was pinched between the fingertips of his left hand.
A sense of leisure throughout the body.
One is completely unaffected...
No, to be precise, it should be: the look of indifference.
It seemed that it was not the Pei family that was implicated and about to be tried in the war.
certainly.
What made Ji Yuqi feel most upset was that the moment the door of the packing room opened and she saw Pei Yucheng sitting inside, she subconsciously withdrew her hand from Fu Sheng's arm.
However, when the man in the main seat heard the movement at the door, he simply turned his handsome face, glanced at her indifferently, and then retracted his cold gaze, as if she and Fu Sheng appeared together, and to him, they were just strangers and insignificant.
Ji Yuqi felt as if his heart was stabbed by something, and it hurt so much...
After withdrawing from Fu Sheng's arms, the hands that were naturally hanging at the sides were slightly tightened.
The sharp nails dug into the flesh of the palm.
Fu Sheng, on the other hand, appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he had been keeping an eye on Ji Yuqi's frantic retreating hand. He didn't force it, nor did he insist that the woman he brought with him hold his arm. He first glanced at Ji Yuqi, then with a perfectly placed smile on his face, he led Ji Yuqi inside...
There were four people sitting at the card table.
Except Pei Yucheng.
Of the other three, Ji Yuqi only felt that one of them looked familiar.
After filtering it several times, the brain finally found the information: he looked a bit like Gong Xian’s father, Gong Jun.
As expected.
Fu Sheng just walked over and called out "Uncle Gong" when Gong Jun said, "Shaoqing, you're here. Ah Xian, didn't I go upstairs with you?!"
As he spoke, Gong Jun looked behind Fu Sheng.
He did not see the rebellious son who made him mad to death, but saw a pretty and graceful figure.
Gong Jun's eyebrows raised slightly.
When Fu Sheng's mother was still alive, she had some friendship with him.
So Gong Jun is quite concerned about Fu Sheng's major life events.
So many years.
He has never been seen bringing any female companions to any party, big or small.
Why are you bringing someone with you today?!
Gong Jun naturally focused all his attention on Ji Yuqi.
He asked Fu Sheng about Ji Yuqi's identity.
However, before Fu Sheng could answer, the middle-aged man sitting across from Gong Jun responded in a teasing tone, "Headmaster, aren't you asking knowingly?! The girl and Master Fu are wearing matching outfits. It's fine if you just know it, why are you exposing it?"
After being reminded, Ji Yuqi lowered her eyes and noticed that her dress was indeed the same color as Fu Sheng's.
While Gong Jun was laughing and saying that he was indeed rude, she hurriedly looked towards the main seat.
The man finally looked at her straight in the eye.
However, his dark eyes remained calm, showing no emotion.
