Although it was not a family card, the family Teng diagram on it was enough to stimulate Pei Huaijin so much that the blood in his body rushed backwards.
Without thinking, Pei Huaijin rushed forward.
Ji Yuqi didn't react at all. He only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next second, the bank card in his palm was ruthlessly snatched away.
"Pei Huaijin, what are you doing?!" Ji Yuqi came to his senses and tried to grab the bank card with a red face.
She stood on tiptoe.
Ji Yuqi is 168 centimeters tall, which is not considered short even among the men in Country Z.
In addition, she was wearing high heels today, which made her look even taller and slenderer.
But in front of Pei Huaijin, who has a net height of 187, he looks particularly short.
What's more, Pei Huaijin was holding the bank card high.
Ji Yuqi tried his best but couldn't reach it.
After struggling for a few seconds, Ji Yuqi couldn't help but get angry: "Give it back to me--!!!"
"Return?!" Pei Huaijin seemed amused by Ji Yuqi's ridiculous words. He looked down at the blushing woman with condescending eyes. The smile that was full of endless mockery was gradually replaced by a cold chill. "Ji Yuqi, I think you have misunderstood the word 'return'. Open your eyes and look carefully: the family map printed on it is the Pei family, not the Ji family. In other words, this card has anything to do with you?! Who is returning it to whom?!"
After saying this, Pei Huaijin waved his hand vigorously in disgust.
The moment Ji Yuqi was pushed away, her foot in high heels twisted, and her whole body lost its balance and crashed heavily into the magnificent round marble column behind her.
"Crack~" At that moment, she heard the crisp sound of her right shoulder bone being dislocated...
Ji Yuqi's face gradually became paler.
After finally stabilizing herself, she looked at the man whose eyes were filled with endless anger, and said angrily, "This card was given to me by Director Pei."
"Why, are you using my father to pressure me?!" Pei Huaijin curled his lips into a cold smile, then his eyes turned fierce. "Do you think I'm afraid?! I'm telling you, Ji Yuqi, don't even think about touching anything related to the Pei family, not even a speck of dust on the ground."
Ji Yuqi's brain was working rapidly.
I know in my heart: it is almost impossible to take the money away when I meet Pei Huaijin, a second-generation rich man.
She forced herself to calm down and devised a plan to get the bank card back.
That was Ji Niancheng's only hope.
However, the more I calm myself down.
The more she couldn't calm down.
She was even a little out of control of her emotions, and even her lips were trembling uncontrollably.
Pei Huaijin glanced at the woman leaning against the marble pillar and suddenly fell silent. She looked like she was about to cry because of him, but she was still cold and had no sympathy at all.
Even, they added insult to injury.
In front of Ji Yuqi, he slipped the bank card into his trouser pocket and taunted her, "I still vividly remember you saying: From now on, the Lu and Ji families will marry, a powerful alliance between two top chaebols, a glory our Pei family will never be able to achieve in this lifetime. You asked me how my brother could be worthy of you. By pestering you endlessly, are you trying to climb the Ji family's ladder?"
"Now, do you understand who was trying to get ahead of whom?!"
"Ji Yuqi, it was you who insisted on not taking the Pei surname and instead adopted the Lu family name at all costs. So, how dare you come to the Pei family and ask for money now?! Where's your glittering, omnipotent childhood sweetheart? He won't give you any money?! Ah, I forgot, your so-called husband has been dead for two years. He's rotten to the core. Ji Yuqi, this is retribution for betraying my brother."
"..." Every word Pei Huaijin said was like a sharp knife, stabbing her heart.
Her whole body was shaking.
It hurts and it suffocates.
But Pei Huaijin had no intention of stopping.
Not only did he humiliate Lu Yanjing to the dust.
Even Ji Niancheng was not spared.
He said, "I heard that you gave Lu Yanjing a son, but the child was half-dead at birth."
He said, "Like father, like son. Lu Yanjing was short-lived, and his son will not live long either. It is no wonder that the Lu family has no descendants."
Ji Yuqi felt a sharp pain in his temples when he heard this.
Everyone can abuse Lu Yanjing.
Everyone can blame Lu Yanjing.
Only his Pei family is not qualified.
Ji Yuqi looked at Pei Huaijin, whose every hair exuded an air of superiority and arrogance, and suddenly curled the corners of his mouth coldly: "Your brother, is he so wronged?!"
Pei Huaijin frowned suddenly, as if he was carefully discerning Ji Yuqi's subtext.
However, before he could figure it out, Ji Yuqi spoke again: "You are so angry, completely disregarding your own status. Aren't you blaming me for choosing Lu Yanjing instead of your brother?! But, what can I do?! No matter how outstanding your brother is, no matter how powerful your Pei family is, I still don't want to look at him even once."
"Ji Yuqi..." Pei Huaijin was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot.
"Even though the Lu family has fallen into decline and even ceased to exist, and perhaps no one knows what the Lu family is now, so what?! In my heart, your brother is not even half as good as him."
"Pei Huaijin, you're guilty of not loving your brother, right?!"
"If so, then I am willing to bear this crime and live in heinous crime for the rest of my life."
"I'm the guilty one. If you have any dissatisfaction or anger, just direct it all at me. Lu Yanjing, try to slander him again!"
"..." Flames were burning in Pei Huaijin's eyes, and his anger reached its peak.
Top floor.
Lian Zhan finally understood that Pei Yucheng had no interest in government affairs tonight, so he simply suggested going to the chess and card room downstairs to have some fun.
However, just as I reached the corner of the first floor, I heard a fierce quarrel coming from downstairs.
Ji Yuqi's voice was cold and arrogant.
"Pei Huaijin, your anger and slander against Lu Yanjing are meaningless. Even if you're angry on behalf of Pei Yucheng, can it change the fact that I only love Lu Yanjing?! I'm telling you clearly, not only do I love Lu Yanjing, I'm also going to use your Pei family's money to treat his son's illness. What can you do to me?! Believe it or not, I'm going upstairs right now. As much money as I ask for, your father will give it to me without hesitation! "
