My dad said she was my goddaughter.
Upon learning the news that their only son had been kidnapped and murdered, Pei Yanbin and his wife fainted from tears.
No one knew how much they loved this child, and they even dared not stay in the capital for fear of being saddened by the past. They left and did not return for more than ten years.
So when Yin Yancan brought his only son to him, Pei Yanbin swore that as long as Yin Yancan did not break the law, he would help him without hesitation.
Sending Yin Yancan to Jiutang Private School was just a small matter, but when he heard Yancan say that the whole school had a misunderstanding about her and the board of directors did not dare to accept her, he went to ask for help from a very influential person.
That man was the founder of Jiutang Private School. Throughout his life, he had founded schools of all sizes, remained deeply rooted in the education industry, and had many students and mentors. As he aged, he developed health problems and needed surgery. He was currently the best surgeon in the country.
The operation was successful, and Yin Yancan's admission was also successful.
However, after seeing Yin Yancan being surrounded at the school gate with his own eyes, Pei Yanbin realized that his previous thoughts were too simple and that Yin Yancan was in a really difficult situation.
The one confronting Yoon Yeon-chan is a child from the Quan family. Pei Yanbin has an impression of Quan Yu-ri. In his opinion, all the children in the Quan family are smart, and the students are better than their parents. Quan Yu-ri's future achievements are immeasurable.
He hopes that Kwon Wook-ri can let go of her prejudice against Yoon Eon-chan.
"I don't want Yanchan to get hurt."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and it was finally Kwon Yu-ri who broke the silence.
The subordinates of the Quan family failed to find out that Yin Yancan and Pei Yanbin had a relationship. Yin Yancan hid it very well, even his parents didn't know. He usually only contacted Pei Yanbin by phone and rarely went to Pei's house.
If you don't leave any clues, you won't have to worry about someone discovering you.
But, do you think she is afraid of Pei Yanbin?
Yu Li asked Cui Ze directly: "Did I get slapped in the face?"
"It's like that, where the villain thinks the heroine is helpless and laughs at her, but then someone close to her shows up to back her up. The person closes in and warns me not to hurt her, or I'll be in trouble."
"Is this the plot?"
Cui Ze laughed out loud when he heard this. Quan Yuli always spoke in an unconventional way and even said such disrespectful words casually.
Just as he was about to join in the conversation, Zhou Minzhi responded first: "Not only you have been slapped in the face, but so have I. All those who look down on Yin Yancan have been slapped in the face."
Zhou Minzhi walked out from behind the crowd. No one present hated Yin Yancan more than her: "Uncle Pei, these words shouldn't be said to Yu Li, they should be said to me. After all, I was the one who attacked Yin Yancan."
"If she dares to come back, I will continue to slap her."
Zhou Minzhi's words were immediately echoed by many people. No one in Jiutang liked Yin Yancan:
"Yeah, I scolded Yin Yancan, so I'm a villain too."
"I told Yin Yancan that Team 3 didn't collect trash and told her to get out. I'm more of a villain than you."
"Don't fight, this villain position is mine, you guys are almost there."
Out of control, completely out of control, Yin Yancan hid behind Pei Yanbin. He didn't expect that this group of people were so crazy that they didn't even give Pei Yanbin any face, especially Quan Yuli, who directly confronted Pei Yanbin.
Pei Yanbin didn't expect that his words would arouse public anger. He didn't study adolescent psychology, so he really didn't understand the thoughts of today's children, including his only son.
"Yu Li, Uncle Pei didn't mean that." Pei Yanbin had no choice but to explain. He knew many of these children and they all called him uncle. Their parents were all VIP customers of Pei Medical, and he didn't want to make the relationship awkward.
"Yancan has only been here for one year. I just hope that we can get along well." Pei Yanbin couldn't possibly argue with a group of kids. He took Yin Yancan in his arms and got into the car. "Let's end today's business here."
As if fleeing, the luxury car drove away and the others gradually dispersed.
Zhou Minzhi said angrily: "What are you doing? I'm going to find the director."
Yu Li didn't think it would be useful to ask the director for help. The director had fired Yin Yancan himself, and now he accepted him back. This meant that the person who gave the order was not the director, but someone that the director could not refuse.
In this situation, if you want to get rid of Yin Yancan, the target should not be the director, but the person who gave the order.
Yu Li was not the only one who thought of this. Xu Youyuan asked someone to investigate when Yin Yancan just came back. She always felt that Yin Yancan and Xu Jaetan were in the same group. The greater the power behind Yin Yancan, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.
After checking, we found that the person could not be moved, or if he wanted to move, the cost would be too high.
No one would get on with that person just for a little Yin Yancan.
Xu Youyuan had to accept this fact.
Perhaps because she was taught a lesson by Pei Yanbin, Yin Yancan was very well-behaved afterwards. She went to class alone and left get out of class alone. If no one talked to her, she would remain silent all day. Since no one liked her, she would just hide in the corner quietly.
This situation is somewhat similar to Zheng Ruizhen's, but Zheng Ruizhen's life is much better than hers.
Sometimes Yin Yancan would feel unbalanced. Zheng Ruizhen, whom she had always looked down upon, could make it in Jiutang, so why couldn't she?
Is she worse than Zheng Ruizhen? No way, she will find a way to turn the situation around.
——
At the end of the month, Choi Jung-woo held his coming-of-age ceremony.
Yu Li could go or not, and she casually mentioned it to Li Xianzhu. Li Xianzhu had no impression of Cui Zhengyu. Among the younger generation of the Cui family, the only one she recognized was Cui Ze.
"Choi Taek's cousin? Younger than Choi Taek?" Li Xianzhu shook her head. "He really looks like his father, unknown."
Yu Li wanted to laugh. Kwon Jae Kyung’s sharp tongue must be inherited from Lee Hyun Joo.
"Go out and play." Li Xianzhu doesn't like to keep her children at home to study every day. Studying is important, but for a family like theirs, there are always things more important than studying.
Yu Li was worried: "I haven't decided what to give her yet."
They couldn't go to someone else's coming-of-age ceremony empty-handed. They were juniors, so the gifts they gave couldn't be too expensive. Besides, she wasn't familiar with Choi Jung-woo.
Last time, she ordered a car for Choi Taek's coming-of-age ceremony. As for Choi Jung Woo, limited edition sneakers? Signed jerseys?
Lee Hyun-joo said Yuri was overthinking, "You are Kwon Yuri. No matter what you give him, he will happily accept it."
Successfully "flattered" by Lee Hyun-joo, Yu Li really picked a gift at random on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, a pot of grown emerald orchid, which cost around 50,000 yuan.
She had stolen it from Quan Zaijing and nearly took away Quan Zaijing's most valuable orchid, which fetched tens of millions at auction. Quan Zaijing had asked her if she wanted to use it to support her first love.
Only then did she realize that she had picked up the wrong flower. The flower had not yet grown and only had leaves, so she mistook it for Jiang's lotus.
"Excuse me, Onii-sama." Yu Li, after coming out of Quan Zaijing's garden, got into the car bound for the Choi family. Choi Ze's family and hers were from different places. When the Choi family first rose to prominence, the capital's wealthy status had already taken shape. All the land in the north of the capital had been sold, and the Choi family turned to building houses in the east.
Yu Li rarely visited Choi Taek's family, perhaps due to the family's peculiarities. The Choi clan still had several branches living on the same estate, emphasizing mutual support and shared endeavors. The Quan clan was different. Except for important occasions, the Quan clan's branches would appear together, but usually the king would rarely see the king.
When there are more people, there are more troubles. Choi Taek usually makes reservations outside when he wants to hang out. When they arrived at Choi's manor, Choi Taek was waiting outside while Yu Li got out of the car holding a flower pot.
"A gift for your cousin." Yu Li showed the Jade Orchid around. "How is it?"
Cui Ze nodded and said it looked nice: "He likes to grow flowers, you made the right gift."
Unexpectedly, the gift she picked randomly turned out to be the right one. Yu Li threw the flower pot to Cui Ze Na and said, "Hey, you're dressed like a decent person. Aren't you afraid of stealing the limelight from your cousin?"
Cui Ze was helpless, holding the flower pot in one hand, "I'm already wearing gray."
It's not a good idea to wear just a T-shirt and jeans for such a formal occasion.
"Aren't you the same?" He retorted to Yu Li, the dress she was wearing was obviously more dazzling than his.
"I'm different." Yu Li shook her head slightly. "The reason why people think I'm dressed so formally is because my appearance and temperament are so outstanding, which actually enhances my clothes."
"You may think this statement is a bit narcissistic, but it is the truth."
Yu Li swore that she was just showing off to Cui Ze. No one stipulated that minors under the age of eighteen could not be narcissistic with their friends. It was okay for Cui Ze to just listen to this joke.
Why did Cui Ze's father have to hear it?
She couldn't stop herself when she saw Cui Ze's look. When she heard a low cough behind her as a warning, Yu Li immediately put on a dignified smile and turned around calmly: "Uncle."
As if nothing had happened before.
There was an obvious smile in Cui Ze's father's eyes, but he tried his best to hold it back because he was afraid that the little girl would be shy. "Yu Li, long time no see."
"I have something else to do. Let Cui Ze entertain you. Tell him if you need anything."
He was a very elegant-looking man, completely different from Quan Yihe. However, facing such a man, Cui Ze did not dare to act rashly: "Okay, you go ahead."
After Cui Ze's father left, Yu Li remained silent. Cui Ze felt a little uncomfortable: "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah," Yu Li drawled. "I was saying people shouldn't be OOC. I should have just said, 'I just want to be the center of attention wherever I go, so I dressed up,' instead of being narcissistic and pretentious."
Cui Ze said it was okay: "Unless you run naked, it won't attract my dad's attention."
Yuri:......
Shut up, thank you.
"But why didn't your cousin come out? Doesn't he need to greet guests?"
"His friend has arrived." Cui Ze said lightly, "He sent someone to pick him up, so he came early."
Yu Li: "Are you trying to say I'm late?"
"No way." Cui Ze didn't mind being a prankster for once. "The eldest lady has come in person. Even if she comes in the early morning, Cui Zhengyu will applaud and say that she has come just in time."
Changing the subject, he mentioned another matter: "However, there is something I want to tell you in advance."
The distance from the main gate to the reception room was too far to walk. Cui Ze took Yu Li to the car that had been waiting for her since early morning. "Cui Zhengyu is studying at Huanxi Public School, and Pei Yanbin's son is also there."
Cui Ze would not mention Pei Yanbin for no reason. Yu Li keenly sensed something was wrong: "Although I don't know what Pei Yanbin's son's personality is like, this should not be the point."
"The point is Yin Yancan, she's here too, right?"
In the reception room, the friends Choi Jung-woo had invited were sitting scattered around. Some had already gone out to visit the manor. He had a gentle personality and quite a few friends, but it was unknown how many of them were sincere.
Most of them were classmates, with Pei Haocheng and Yin Yancan sitting in different seats. Yin Yancan was the only stranger here, and everyone looked at him carefully.
The people from the Pei family brought by Pei Haocheng?
Someone asked about Yin Yancan's identity. Yin Yancan looked at Pei Haocheng with a smile and said, "I came here with Haocheng."
Without saying anything more, everyone had to look at Pei Haocheng, but Pei Haocheng was still busy playing with his phone.
Choi Jung-woo was afraid of a dull atmosphere, so he stood up and touched Pei Haocheng's shoulder: "Haocheng, everyone is waiting for your answer."
Pei Haocheng stopped what he was doing, raised his eyelids, revealing a handsome face, and after a while he uttered a few cold words: "According to my father, this is his goddaughter."
"Puchi." Before the people in the house could react, Yu Li, who happened to be walking to the door, laughed out loud.
Everyone in the room looked at the door, and Yu Li and Pei Haocheng met.
This Young Master Pei really knows how to talk.
