When the direct heir reaches the age of thirty, on the day of his marriage, he must give the family jade pendant as a betrothal gift to the future mistress of the Pei family.
But why is Pei Yucheng's family jade pendant in Ji Yuqi's hands? !
On the day Pei Yucheng officially took charge of the Pei family, according to regulations, the jade pendant was to be handed over to the chief steward for safekeeping.
But that day Pei Yucheng said: I don’t know where I lost the jade pendant.
Over the years, Pei Quyan has been urging the general manager to start re-engraving.
But Pei Yucheng kept refusing.
The reason is: no rush to get married.
Pei Huaijin thought the jade pendant was really lost, but he never expected that his brother actually gave the family jade pendant to Ji Yuqi.
This seems to indicate that his brother was completely devoted to her.
However, Ji Yuqi actually exchanged such a precious jade pendant for a mere seven million.
This is too insulting and hurtful.
In her heart, to what extent did she want to humiliate his brother? !
Pei Yucheng pursed his thin lips that were emitting a cold air, and stared at the jade pendant for a long time. Then he looked at the woman standing there with a sharp gaze, her thin face without any fluctuation.
"Why, this jade pendant isn't worth the price?!" Seeing Pei Yucheng remained silent, Ji Yuqi whispered again, "Boss Pei, when you first coaxed me into bed, you said you could ask for anything. Seven million, considering your current wealth, isn't worth a ton of money."
"Pei Huaijin." Pei Yucheng suddenly shouted.
The voice was not loud, but it spread a chill.
Pei Huaijin was stunned at first, but when he understood Pei Yucheng's intention, he immediately became annoyed: "Brother, you can't give it to her."
He naturally resisted.
However, when Pei Yucheng's cold, cruel and sharp gaze fell on him, Pei Huaijin's soul trembled. Even though he was extremely reluctant, he still took out the card and handed it over.
Pei Yucheng had no intention of answering the call.
Instead, he threw the bank card to the ground without blinking.
That look was one of disgust and contempt.
With a gesture of almsgiving.
"I'll give you an extra zero. Just think of it as me feeling sorry for Lu Yanjing and leaving him a legacy. Take the money and get out—"
Pei Yucheng's voice was not loud, but it was extremely cold and ruthless.
Ji Yuqi lowered his eyes and stared quietly at the discarded bank card, unable to recover for a long time.
"Boss Pei is still generous."
Ji Yuqi squatted down with a smile to pick up the bank card.
When she was done, she raised her hand.
The smile spread from the corners of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes.
She thanked Pei Yucheng and turned to leave without hesitation.
But before turning around, she hesitated inexplicably and pulled the jade pendant in her palm tightly again and again. When she finally let go, she felt her heart suddenly become bloody.
She returned the jade pendant.
But no one dared to answer.
Ji Yuqi had no other choice but to walk to the hall and place the jade pendant on a corner of the coffee table...
Ten minutes after Ji Yuqi left, Pei Yucheng still stood there without moving.
The lobby on the first floor was clearly lit with the brightest lights in the imperial capital, but they could not dispel the black fog that enveloped Pei Yucheng.
Pei Yucheng didn't show any expression.
Coldness all over the body.
But when Pei Huaijin saw Pei Yucheng's appearance at the moment, he felt heartbroken.
He was furious and said, "Brother, it's already this time, why are you still protecting her?! Why are you giving her money!!! Have you forgotten what you saw when you went to Country M to find her five years ago?! She got pregnant with Lu Yanjing's child before she broke up with you!! She betrayed you!!!! And Lu Yanjing left her an inheritance, but she didn't touch a cent. Do you know what this means?! It means that she loves Lu Yanjing, loves him to the bone, but does she have any sincerity towards you?! Does she know that you did this for her..."
The man who had been standing there silently from beginning to end suddenly said, "Shut up!!"
At this moment, Pei Yucheng's dark eyes were gloomy, and Pei Huaijin knew that he was showing signs of anger.
However, Pei Huaijin was so angry that he still said fearlessly: "You died for her once, how much further do you want to indulge her?! Are you going to torture yourself to death again?! A woman who is treacherous, fickle, and unfaithful to her husband should be executed by slow slicing!!!"
Over the years, Ji Yuqi has become a thorn in Pei Huaijin's heart that cannot be touched.
His hatred for her reached its peak.
Five years ago, Pei Huaijin did not follow Pei Yucheng to Country M.
Tang Ye went with him.
After Pei Yucheng returned to China, he refused to eat or drink and locked himself in his room. He looked dead to the core.
He kept asking Tang Ye what had happened.
Tang Ye didn't dare to reveal it.
Later, under his pressure, she cautiously said, "The eldest young master saw Miss Ji's prenatal examination form in the hospital."
Pei Huaijin thought his brother was jealous and angry.
I feel that Ji Yuqi can easily get pregnant with another man's child.
Tang Ye then added, "It says second trimester, 22 weeks."
Pei Huaijin's brain exploded on the spot.
As a bystander who had nothing to do with the matter, Pei Huaijin felt extremely uncomfortable at that moment.
They had only been apart for four months.
However, Ji Yuqi was more than five months pregnant.
This meant more than just betrayal.
Also means: never.
Never truly loved.
At that time, the Lu family was still in its heyday.
A family like that would never tolerate a woman with unclean blood entering the family.
There is only one possibility: the child in Ji Yuqi's belly is Lu Yanjing's.
