Upon hearing this, Lian Zhan was immediately frightened.
The Ji family was once one of the most prominent families in the imperial capital.
Lian Zhan is the direct heir of the Lian family.
In other words, Lian Zhan and Ji Yuqi also knew each other.
Although not familiar.
But Ji Yuqi has a good temper.
When she was dating Pei Yucheng, Pei Yucheng took her to their parties privately.
At that time, Ji Yuqi's eyes and eyebrows were full of cuteness and gentleness.
There was never such an aggressive momentum as now.
Lian Zhan couldn't help but glance cautiously at the man standing in front of him.
Today, Pei Yucheng was dressed in black, looking remarkably noble. At this moment, his dark eyes, darker and more mysterious than the night itself, shone with an elusive coldness and ruthlessness. He simply stood there in silence, his chilling aura so intense that it made it difficult for those behind him to breathe.
"Well...how about we..." Lian Zhan spoke with difficulty, wanting to suggest going upstairs again.
In this situation, I'm afraid it's not suitable to go downstairs.
As a result, Pei Yucheng suddenly took a step and walked downstairs.
“…” Lian Zhan.
Pei Huaijin was furious. He had never imagined that after not seeing her for so many years, Ji Yuqi could be so articulate. Furthermore, the Ji family was clearly finished, so where did she get the confidence to be so arrogant?!
Pei Huaijin gritted his teeth angrily, not knowing how to refute Ji Yuqi, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the black figure appearing at the stairs.
He quickly went up to her and said, "Brother, this woman is so shameless. She has no idea how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is. She said that she can take as much money as she wants from the Pei family to save Lu Yanjing's son. Isn't this a naked humiliation to the Pei family?! Tell her, can she touch even a single cent of the Pei family's money?"
He wanted to see how arrogant she could be in front of the Patriarch of the Pei family.
Pei Quyan is indeed their father.
However, the abdication has been long overdue.
The financial power of the Pei family had long been transferred to Pei Yucheng.
In other words: any capital flow exceeding a certain amount will ultimately require Pei Yucheng's signature.
Where did she get the confidence to say: "As much as you want, I'll give you"? !
When Ji Yuqi heard Pei Huaijin call out the word "brother", every nerve in his body went numb.
She bit her lip and stood there stiffly, not daring to move.
The arrogance around him also weakened.
With Pei Yucheng's support, Pei Huaijin immediately felt confident.
Seeing Ji Yuqi standing there in silence, he angrily shouted at Ji Yuqi, "Ji, why aren't you being so arrogant now?! Bring out all that arrogance you had just now."
"Didn't you say: You don't love my brother, and that he's been wronged, but he can only bear it, and that you only love Lu Yanjing and don't even bother to look at him?"
"Really?!" Pei Yucheng's voice was not loud, but low and deep, and it was magnetic and charming, but Ji Yuqi's breathing was a little difficult.
Before she could turn around, Pei Yucheng's disdainful sneer sounded again: "Because she was wronged, does she deserve it?!"
Pei Yucheng said this to Pei Huaijin, but Ji Yuqi's face turned extremely pale after hearing it.
She bit her lip hard.
He seemed utterly disgusted with himself.
No, not seeming, but really.
It was the same when we met last time at Ye’s Restaurant.
From beginning to end, not only did he not look at her directly, he was even unwilling to speak to her.
The same is true now.
Ji Yuqi had never imagined that things between her and Pei Yucheng would fall to such a state. After not seeing each other for five years, she had been consumed by longing for him, yet he hadn't even bothered to confront her directly with a single insult...
Pei Huaijin almost jumped up and gave his brother a thumbs up.
Only his brother has this ability: he is concise and to the point, and he is very frugal with words, yet he can belittle people to the point of being worthless.
Ji Yuqi turned slowly and looked at Pei Yucheng.
The moment their eyes met, Ji Yuqi was ultimately too young and was defeated. Her eyes flushed with redness and she felt aggrieved.
But Pei Yucheng's eyes were dark and cold, as if covered with a layer of frost that would not melt, so cold and harsh, not only did he not have any emotional ups and downs, but he also did not show any warmth at all.
It was so cold that Ji Yuqi was scared.
She bit her lip hard, then whispered, "Boss Pei looks down on everyone and is so high and mighty. Naturally, I am not worthy of him. Today, I never meant to offend you. As long as the Second Young Master returns the seven million that Boss Pei gave me, I will disappear immediately."
"..." Pei Huaijin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He wasted so much time talking, but she was still eyeing the seven million?!
He opened his mouth to choke her.
In the end, Pei Yucheng spoke before him: "Since you don't even look at me, then don't look at the Pei family's seven million either."
Pei Yucheng didn't want to look at her any longer and directly ordered her to leave.
Ji Yuqi had no intention of paying any attention, but just stared at the handsome black figure who had turned and walked towards the stairs.
She suddenly raised her voice and asked, "Boss Pei, I want to exchange this for seven million. Is that enough?!"
In an instant, almost everyone's eyes fell on Ji Yuqi's open palm.
Under the bright and shining light, the jade pendant emitting a light green hue, and the family tengtu of the Pei family are particularly eye-catching.
Pei Huaijin was shocked to the extreme.
After being stunned for a long time, Mu Ran turned his head and looked at Pei Yucheng.
According to the ancestral precepts of the Pei family, every direct descendant of the Pei family would be carved with a family jade pendant with his name and eight characters engraved on it using the finest ancient jade.
This is a symbol of the family's supreme ruling authority.
