Just after lunch, Pei Quyan received a phone call. He immediately asked the Pei residence’s housekeeper to prepare the car and hurried out, apparently going to the Shen family, which ranked second in Jingcheng.
afternoon.
Pei Yucheng originally taught Ji Niancheng mathematics in person in the study on the second floor. Ji Niancheng's mathematics was shockingly bad, perhaps because he inherited Ji Yuqi's genes. At that time, Pei Yucheng's handsome eyebrows were wrinkled into knots, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Ji Yuqi was cold and cruel. Ji Yuqi was weak and pitiful, huddled in the corner of the study, not even daring to breathe.
Originally, Ji Yuqi wanted to find a random excuse to leave the study and avoid the cold oppressive feeling that was bursting out from Pei Yucheng's body, but the housekeeper of Pei's residence came hurriedly to report: The head and young master of the Xiao family are here to visit.
When Ji Yuqi saw Xiao Yi and his father in the lobby on the first floor, his brain froze and he couldn't react.
It is said that if you want to control someone, you must first start with the people around him.
So when Ji Yuqi just started pursuing Pei Yucheng, he had already quietly investigated the backgrounds of his friends.
Needless to say, the identities of Lian Zhan and Yan Ce.
Everyone in the entire imperial capital knows about it.
But Xiao Yi...
Ji Yuqi used many connections but could not find any relevant information.
Naturally, Ji Yuqi thought that the Xiao family was very ordinary.
Even the kind that's low to the ground.
That's why he has no background.
Even the in-laws of the top families can’t get involved.
However, some of the behaviors of that group of men when they were together made her very confused.
Although Xiao Yi's status was so low, he did not show any fear in front of the noble Lian Zhan and Yan Ce. In fact, he was so arrogant that he did not feel that he was inferior to them.
At this moment, Ji Yuqi suddenly realized.
It turns out that Xiao Yi is one of the heirs of the six major families in Jingcheng.
It turns out that the top powerful people really only play with the top powerful people.
There is no such thing as not caring about the background.
When Pei Yucheng saw Xiao Zhengyao, he hurried forward to greet him: "Uncle Xiao, why are you free to come to the Pei family today?"
"What, you're not welcome?!" Xiao Zhengyao joked.
Pei Yucheng said, "It is an honor that Uncle Xiao can come here."
Xiao Zhengyao laughed and said, "Yesterday I accidentally heard Yi'er say that you were getting married. How come you kept such a big happy event a secret and didn't even tell Uncle Xiao?!"
As he spoke, Xiao Zhengyao signaled the butler following behind him to bring up the gift.
Pei Yucheng said: "The wedding was hasty, and the Pei family's sacrificial ceremony was imminent, so I didn't have time to bring my wife to visit the Xiao Mansion in person."
"Who is this?!" Xiao Zhengyao's gaze naturally fell on Ji Yuqi.
"My wife." Pei Yucheng replied while motioning Ji Yuqi, who was standing beside him, to greet Xiao Zhengyao.
But there was silence nearby.
There was no movement for a long time.
Pei Yucheng's handsome sword-like eyebrows immediately frowned.
When I turned my eyes away slightly, I found that Ji Yuqi was standing there in a trance.
"Xiao Qi." Pei Yucheng called in a low voice.
Ji Yuqi still didn't respond.
Finally, he emphasized his tone and called her full name, and Ji Yuqi came back to her senses.
"What's wrong?!" Ji Yuqi asked subconsciously, obviously not yet understanding the current situation.
Pei Yucheng frowned and patiently reminded, "Say hello."
"Oh~!" Ji Yuqi finally reacted and quickly said to Xiao Zhengyao, "Uncle Xiao, hello, my name is Ji Yuqi."
"Hello." Xiao Zhengyao seemed to have a good temper. He didn't show any displeasure and was still smiling.
