Pei Yucheng picked up his coat, stood up from the sofa, took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, and immediately called Xu Ze to book a table at the restaurant.
He asked Ji Yuqi what he wanted to eat.
Take her there immediately.
Ji Yuqi was really hungry.
I had breakfast too late, so I didn't eat much at lunch.
But how could she have the appetite to eat now?!
The reason he said that was simply to break the awkward atmosphere between the two of them.
Ji Yuqi still wanted to maintain her dignity with Pei Yucheng. She didn't want to let Pei Yucheng know about the Four Great Family Cemeteries unless it was absolutely necessary.
She sat on the sofa and guessed for a long time.
The Zhou family is already struggling.
At the end of last year, Zhou Liqing signed the mortgage agreement for Xidaishan at the bank and moved to the suburbs of the imperial capital. Daishan, the ancestral home of the four great families, was divided into four parts, but it was vast. Even if only a quarter of the land was available, the funds that could be mortgaged would be enormous.
Zhou Liqing invested all the money into the operation of the group.
At present, with sufficient financial support, all projects are gradually getting on track.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Zhou family will be able to turn things around within three years.
Ji Yuqi thought about it and decided that the only way Zhou Liqing could withdraw funds now was to use the shares within the group.
If this is true, then management cannot afford to make any mistakes.
If any shareholder has any dissenting opinions, Zhou Liqing’s shareholding is small, and he is very likely to be kicked out of the Zhou Group.
The Zhou Group is the family business of the Zhou family.
Zhou Liqing must not be lost.
Some things are inconvenient to discuss over the phone.
So after Ji Yuqi was discharged from the hospital, he decided to find time to visit Zhou Liqing next time and have a good chat about the source of funding for the cemetery.
Ji Yuqi was deeply absorbed.
Pei Yucheng called her several times, but she didn't respond.
Finally, he called her name in a stronger tone, and Ji Yuqi suddenly regained consciousness.
"What's wrong?!" When Ji Yuqi hurriedly looked up at Pei Yucheng, she found that his eyes were gloomy and his face was full of displeasure. Only then did she realize her loss of composure.
"Ji Yuqi, you're worried!" Pei Yucheng sat back on the sofa, his hawk-like black eyes staring straight at her, "What happened?!"
Ji Yuqi was inexplicably frightened.
She subconsciously avoided Pei Yucheng's sight and didn't dare to look him in the eye.
In the chaebol circle, the four major families have been relegated to the dust.
Zhou Liqing is the last support. If Zhou Liqing also collapses, then... the four major families will truly cease to exist.
Yu Guiwan said, "Everything must have happened for a reason. Pei Yucheng wouldn't just delete his official Weibo post with Ning Ruyan for no apparent reason. He must be preparing to reveal your identity."
If that's true.
Once her identity is exposed, her family background and past will be completely exposed.
The Pei family's status is really too high.
When the four major families were at their most glorious, she married into the Pei family as the eldest daughter of the four major families. In front of the Pei family's profound family background, she still felt inferior, not to mention that the four major families are now barely able to maintain even an empty shell.
What kind of label would she be given by the world then?! And how would they be ridiculed?!
Furthermore, she is unmarried and has children.
Illegitimate children are taboo in the chaebol circle.
And its existence cannot be tolerated.
Ji Yuqi didn't dare to think further.
"I'm just a little unhappy!" Ji Yuqi turned away guiltily to look at the scenery outside the window. After hesitating for a long moment, he said with a bit of resentment in his voice, "You always take me out to eat. There's no romance at all."
"What do you mean by sentiment?!"
"Can't you do it yourself?!" Ji Yuqi blurted out, and when he turned his gaze back to Pei Yucheng, his eyes were still quite aggrieved and innocent, "Haven't you seen sweet romance dramas?! The heroine is sick, and the hero is stewing soup and porridge, but you only take me out to eat. In an instant, you are a lot worse than other boyfriends!"
