When Aunt Liu received Pei Yucheng's call, she had just brought Pei Nianzhi back to the Yu Mansion.
Pei Quyan and the old lady of the Pei family still stayed in the Pei residence.
Aunt Liu thought that children should live with their own parents after all, so that they would feel more secure.
Aunt Liu was quite surprised to see Pei Yucheng's call. Ji Yucheng and Pei Yucheng were going out to eat French food alone that evening. Aunt Liu had heard Ji Yucheng say this at Junfu. She had originally thought that Pei Yucheng was calling to ask her to bring Pei Nianzhi over for dinner as a family of three. But she heard Pei Yucheng whisper, "Aunt Liu, go to my study right away."
Hearing this, Aunt Liu was a little puzzled.
Pei Yucheng's study is a restricted area.
On weekdays, Aunt Liu didn't dare to enter unless she led the servants to clean.
Aunt Liu thought Pei Yucheng asked her to go to the study because there were some important documents or contracts that needed her to look for, but then she thought, such matters have always been the responsibility of Liu Tong.
Why did he call me today?!
Aunt Liu was about to ask, but she heard Pei Yucheng say, "Is there a ring in my private safe?"
Aunt Liu did not dare to slack off and went to the fourth floor as quickly as possible.
After entering the password Pei Yucheng told her, she saw a black ring box in the top compartment of the safe. Aunt Liu hurriedly said to Pei Yucheng, "Yes, young master, I have seen the ring box."
Aunt Liu was a little confused as to why Pei Yucheng asked her to find the ring at this moment.
But then Pei Yucheng said again: "Immediately ask Tang Ye to send me to the chaebol building."
…
Tang Ye rushed to the chaebol building as quickly as possible.
After waiting in the underground parking lot for twenty minutes, Xu Ze finally drove in.
The moment the black car stopped, Xu Ze got out of the driver's seat.
The rear window was lowered halfway.
Seeing this, Tang Ye immediately walked over and respectfully called out, "Master!"
Pei Yucheng is answering the phone.
The expression was blurred in the shadows and a little unclear.
When Tang Ye saw Pei Yucheng's gesture, he hurriedly took out a black box with the Pei family logo printed on it from his trouser pocket and handed it in through the car window.
The call was from Lian Zhan.
"Master, do you know who I just ran into at the Imperial City Club?! That guy named Fu is really haunting me. He knows next month is the day when the four pillar economies of Country Z will be allocated a certain proportion of ruling power based on the ranking of the chaebols according to the legislation. He's been really restless lately, trying to make connections everywhere. Is he worried that he won't get enough ruling power in his first year in the Imperial Clan?!"
Pei Yucheng listened to Lian Zhan's ridicule and mockery, but had no intention of speaking. All his attention was focused on the black ring box in his palm.
All I could think about was: in what kind of atmosphere should I put this ring on Ji Yuqi's finger?
Pei Yucheng opened the box with one hand.
The slender fingers with distinct joints gently moved the ring.
Although the diamond is not the largest, but...
Pei Yucheng's gaze fell on the inside of the ring setting, where the three letters "JYA" were engraved, followed by the word "Cheng".
Not only that, the date is also engraved on it.
0419.
That was when he had the ring custom made.
Pei Yucheng really wanted to know Ji Yuqi's reaction when he saw the date...
Thinking of her being so happy that she was about to go crazy, Pei Yucheng's smile became deeper.
Lian Zhan asked him, "Master, are you coming to the Imperial City Club?! I just asked around, and the 'Financial Supervisor' who oversees the Imperial Clan Circle is here too. It seems Shi Pei has arrived too. The Imperial City Club is quite bustling right now..."
