Even though Shi Pei, the head of the Shi family, is not easy to mess with, he wouldn't be like Pei Yucheng, unwilling to show any mercy.
Fu Sheng, upon hearing Ji Yuqi's words, raised his eyebrows and was about to respond when Yan Ce's anxious voice suddenly came from the doorway of the private room, "Master...Master...Hurry downstairs and go see your father-in-law..."
Yan Ce's words came to an abrupt end before he finished speaking.
I don’t know if I was shocked that Fu Sheng was in the private room where Pei Yucheng was.
I'm still shocked that Ji Yuqi would appear at today's chaebol banquet.
Yan Ce stood at the door for several seconds before walking into the private room, saying in a teasing tone, "What's the wind blowing today that even brought the eldest daughter of the Ji family here?!"
Ji Yuqi couldn't help but purse his lips.
Even his palms were clenched.
It may seem like a casual question, but the underlying message is this: Isn't she unworthy of appearing at chaebol-related banquets anymore?!
But.
When Yan Ce just yelled at Pei Yucheng at the door, "your father-in-law," wasn't he referring to Ning Ruyan's father?!
A man who can only manage a little business by sucking the blood of the daughters of the entertainment industry, is worthy of appearing at the top banquet of the chaebol circle?!
I don’t know how much my status was lowered by Zhou Liqing.
Why was Zhou Liqing detained, but he was able to enter such a place smoothly?
I was accompanying Fu Sheng to the banquet, so why was he so surprised?!
certainly.
What made Ji Yuqi most uncomfortable and upset were the three words "father-in-law".
In the past, after confirming her relationship with Pei Yucheng, although she had kept it a secret from both of their parents, Yan Ce and Xiao Yi knew about it. On several occasions, Ji Yuqi accompanied Ji Fengran to banquets and saw Pei Yucheng there. She took advantage of Ji Fengran chatting with others to go to Pei Yucheng privately. Several times, she ran into Yan Ce and Xiao Yi asking Pei Yucheng, "The old man of the Ji family loves his daughter so much. Would he agree to your relationship?! Especially since your family doesn't allow early marriage. Can he watch you delay his daughter for five or six years?!"
At that time, Yan Ce and Xiao Yi both called Ji Fengran "the old man of the Ji family."
But when it comes to Ning Ruyan's father, he is called "father-in-law".
so.
In Pei Yucheng's heart, it goes without saying who is more important, her or Ning Ruyan.
Ji Yuqi only felt that the atmosphere at the scene was becoming more and more depressing.
It's a bit difficult to breathe.
If I just wanted to change the private room.
But at this moment, she wished she could disappear right away.
If she had known that Pei Yucheng had not gone abroad, she would rather sit in Fu Sheng's car all night than go upstairs.
Fu Sheng noticed Ji Yuqi's embarrassment.
so.
He didn't insist on winning back a victory. He first took away Ji Yuqi's hand that was pulling at his sleeve, put it in his own arm, and then said with a smile: "Since Master Pei still has things to do, we won't disturb you."
As he said this, he gave Gong Xian a look and wanted to retreat with Ji Yuqi.
result.
Yan Ce glanced at Pei Yucheng's face and said, "It's rare for us to get together, so why not play some cards and strengthen our relationship? Why is Master Fu in such a hurry to leave? If word gets out, people will think it's our Lord of the City who won't tolerate families outside the imperial clan."
Pei Yucheng didn't say a word.
Yan Ce, however, said to Gong Xian, "There are just four of us playing mahjong at one table. Young Master Gong should have no objection."
Gong Xian turned his gaze to Fu Sheng.
Fu Sheng asked Ji Yuqi: "I play for two hours?!"
Ji Yuqi just moved his lips, but before he could say anything, Yan Ce stepped forward, put his hand on Fu Sheng's shoulder, and pushed him towards the card table: "This is a man's game, why are you asking a woman?! Who is the head of the family?"
