I don’t know what Zhong Yi said, but it made the old lady of the Pei family smile from ear to ear, and she was extremely happy.
Ji Yuqi's steps paused immediately.
Her gaze fell directly on Zhong Yi, who exuded a noble aura and was extremely dazzling.
Ji Yuqi's thoughts were a little dazed.
The first time she knew about Zhong Yi's existence was from Yan Ce.
The Yan family and the Pei family are close and have a very good relationship.
She had heard Lian Zhan teasing Yan Ce and Pei Yucheng before.
Lian Zhan said: "Fortunately, Lian Zhan is a man, otherwise, you would never be the wife of Cheng Ye."
Because of this, Ji Yuqi was extremely jealous.
Although Yan Ce is a man, Pei Yucheng likes to be with Yan Ce no matter what. Especially when encountering something, he likes to discuss it with Yan Ce the most, and sometimes he will avoid her.
No one would be happy if it were anyone else.
Ji Yuqi naturally had his opinions too.
At that time, Yan Ce saw her resentful look and couldn't help laughing: "Instead of guarding against me, it's better to guard against the Zhong family."
At first, Ji Yuqi didn't quite understand and asked Yan Ce: "What do you mean?!"
Yan Ce wanted to explain at that time, but was glared at by Pei Yucheng several times.
I just held it back alive.
At the beginning, when she went to live in M Elementary School with Pei Yucheng, Ji Yuqi always thought that Pei Yucheng would really disobey Pei Quyan for her and ask the Zhong family to break off the engagement.
As a result, just now outside the study, Pei Quyan said in person: Fortunately, Xiaoyi insisted on canceling the engagement.
Meaning: It was Zhong Yi's idea to break off the engagement, but Pei Yucheng never had the intention to break off the engagement?! If Zhong Yi had never broken off the engagement, then... Pei Yucheng would have married Zhong Yi a long time ago...
Ji Yuqi didn't dare to think further.
She took a deep breath.
Suppressing the suffocating emotion that was rising in his chest again, Ji Yuqi took a step forward and walked towards the old lady of the Pei family.
As they got closer, Ji Yuqi heard the old lady from the Pei family say to Zhong Yi, "Although you are not my biological granddaughter, you are much closer to me than a biological granddaughter."
"Grandma, I..." Zhong Yi smiled and wanted to say something, but the old lady of the Pei family caught sight of Ji Yuqi from the corner of her eye and quickly waved at him, "Qiqi, you're back."
Ji Yuqi nodded politely to the old lady of the Pei family: "Master Buddha."
"Is your father here?!" asked the old lady of the Pei family.
Ji Yuqi nodded: "Yes, I'll be right there."
The old lady of the Pei family: "Okay!"
Ji Yuqi stood silently by for a while, and suddenly found that Ji Niancheng was not around. She hurriedly asked the old lady of the Pei family: "Master Buddha, where is Nianzhi?!"
…
Jinyuan.
bathroom.
"Yu Wenshu relied on her status as the former mother of the Pei family's Chenyuan. When we approached her for a toast, she didn't even bother to look down at us. But what's so arrogant about her?! The Pei family's Chenyuan is the Pei family's Chenyuan. Does it have any connection with the current Pei family other than sharing the same ancestor?! We toasted her out of consideration for the Pei family's reputation. Do we really think that Chenyuan is so powerful?!"
"I heard that those most profitable groups that were clamoring to be separated from the Pei family have all gone downhill in the past two years. Not only have their assets shrunk significantly, but their profits are also terrible. It is said that they don't even make as much as my family. Didn't you see that when Pei Jiqing just talked to Pei Quyan, he openly and secretly wanted Pei Yucheng to help with the group's affairs. Did Pei Quyan pay any attention to him?!"
"Her own son is not up to standard, and the wife he married is even more infertile. She gave birth to four children and still couldn't produce a male heir. She even despised the current mistress of the Pei family for not being of high enough status."
