It took Ji Yuqi a full thirty minutes of walking to reach the main house.
Along the way, every scene, every flower and grass is so exquisite that there is no flaw at all.
The main road was paved with jade, and on it was the family pattern of the Pei family, which was so majestic and shocking.
Ji Yuqi is also a worldly-wise person.
But looking at this prosperous mansion in front of me, I am still amazed.
For a moment, her mind was particularly active.
Why has no one in the imperial capital's wealthy circles ever mentioned such an extravagant mansion?!
Of course, Ji Yuqi suddenly understood one thing: No wonder five years ago, when she proposed to go back to the mansion with Pei Yucheng for a visit, she was ruthlessly rejected by him.
At that time, was he afraid that she would covet his money? !
Haha~!
…
Pei Quyan is already in the study.
The tall figure stood in front of the French window, looking thoughtful.
The butler led Ji Yuqi in, knocked on the door, and respectfully reported: "Master, Miss Ji is here."
Upon hearing this, Pei Quyan turned around immediately.
Ji Yuqi looked at Pei Quyan and had to admit: the Pei family are all God's favorites.
Even though he is approaching sixty years old, he still can't hide his dashing appearance.
His whole body was filled with a powerful aura that captivated people.
Just now the steward informed us at the door: Pei Quyan is dining with an important guest.
At first, Ji Yuqi simply thought that a distinguished guest was visiting.
It was not until she entered the main house that she caught a glimpse of Pei Yucheng's car out of the corner of her eye, and then she roughly guessed what day it was.
"Uncle Pei, happy birthday." Ji Yuqi said politely.
Pei Quyan raised his handsome eyebrows after hearing this, and then smiled and said, "Let's have fun together."
He raised his hand to signal the steward to leave. The moment the steward respectfully closed the door, he asked Ji Yuqi: "Xiaoqi, would you like some tea?!"
As he spoke, Pei Quyan took the lead and walked towards the rosewood tea table placed in a corner of the study, which was carved with the Pei family's teng diagram.
Ji Yuqi followed Pei Quyan and landed.
"Uncle Pei, let me do it." Ji Yuqi took the tea set from Pei Quyan's hand.
In the upper class circles of the imperial capital, tea art is a compulsory course for any prestigious family.
Ji Fengran hired the best tea art master for her.
Although he hadn't touched it for five years, Ji Yuqi's movements were still very skillful.
There was a brief silence in the study.
When Ji Yuqi brewed tea, poured a small cup, and pushed it in front of Pei Quyan, he finally asked, "Xiaoqi, I heard that you returned to the imperial capital in early November. What happened when you came to the Pei family today?!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuqi's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, Ji Yuqi was struggling on the way to the study with the steward.
She didn't want to have anything to do with the Pei family anymore.
Not to mention borrowing money, which is something that hurts one's self-esteem.
But she had no other choice.
Ji Yuqi was silent for a long time, then he said in a hoarse voice, a little embarrassed: "I encountered a small matter, and I need Uncle Pei's help."
…
Top floor living room.
Today is Pei Quyan’s 59th birthday.
According to the customs of the imperial capital, it should be held in a grand manner.
But the Pei family's status is too high.
If I hold a birthday party, I'm afraid the door will be trampled by prominent families.
The Pei family has always been low-key. After Pei Quyan abdicated, they liked quietness, so the Pei family villa was not lively tonight. Only a family dinner was held, and the only guests who came were Lian Zhan and Li Yun.
Originally, Xiao Yi and Song Tingqi would also come.
However, something happened in Jingcheng, so Pei Yucheng temporarily sent them over to find out the situation.
At this moment, not only Lian Zhan and Li Yun, but also Xiao Yi and Song Tingqi on the other end of the video call, also felt Pei Yucheng's abnormality.
During the video conference tonight, Pei Yucheng was eerily silent.
It’s better to say that he is busy rather than absent-minded.
Song Tingqi shook the cigarette between his fingers and asked Lian Zhan in a low voice: "What's wrong with our master today?! He looks like he's lost his soul."
Lian Zhan laughed when he heard this and said, "What can we do?"
Song Tingqi frowned and was about to say something when Pei Huaijin jumped in and shouted, "My brother had a fight with Sister Yan. Just now, while we were eating, he received a call from Sister Yan. After he came back, he didn't even move his chopsticks. I guess Sister Yan must have been really pissed off."
Upon hearing this, Lian Zhan and Li Yun who were present, as well as Song Tingqi and Xiao Yi on the other end of the video, all couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Yi started to clean up and said, "Sister Yan is really spoiled. She is such a gentle and weak person, but now she dares to show off. Women really can't be spoiled."
These words apparently mean that Ning Ruyan is arrogant and ignorant.
In fact, the subtext is to imply that Pei Yucheng is soft-hearted and afraid of his wife.
They say birds of a feather flock together.
A very smart person like Pei Yucheng is surrounded by very smart people.
Everyone immediately understood Xiao Yi's subtext.
I couldn't help laughing immediately.
Pei Yucheng didn't show any expression when he heard this.
Pei Huaijin first observed Pei Yucheng's expression, then said, "Brother, let me make it clear first. I'm not being mean, but stating the truth. Sister Yan is right to be angry. She has been with you for so many years. Not only have you never brought her to the Pei family gatherings, but you didn't even bring her home for Father's birthday. Even the best-tempered person would probably feel resentful. Besides, brother, are you serious about Sister Yan? You want to marry her, right? If so, you are 28 years old. According to the rules of the Pei family, you can bring a girlfriend home with the intention of getting married. Cultivate a relationship for two years. If your personalities are compatible, you can get married immediately when you turn 30 and have children. I get excited just thinking about holding my little nephews and nieces."
