Precious varieties
"According to my father, this is his goddaughter."
This sentence is very interesting. The alienation in the tone cannot be concealed, and Pei Haocheng didn't even think of hiding it.
Before meeting Pei Haocheng, Yu Li thought that all the members of the Pei family had the same favorable impression on Yin Yancan as Pei Yanbin, not to mention Pei Haocheng, who was not only his savior but also the one who brought him back to the wealthy family. Even if he wasn't considered a relative, he should be given due respect.
Today it seems that this is not the case.
Yu Li entered and handed the gift to the waiting servant at the door. There would be a special gift-giving session later. Cui Ze followed behind her, a head taller than her. The handsome man and beautiful woman complemented each other beautifully.
Those who don’t know would think that Cui Ze is the guest.
Everyone in the hall was dazzled for a moment. The aisle in front seemed to have turned into a catwalk. They all became spectators, gathered here just to appreciate the girl's nonchalant appearance.
"Kwon, Yu-ri?" someone murmured. The Kwon family belonged to an old super wealthy family, while the Choi family belonged to an upstart chaebol. The circles of the two families did not overlap much, and the people present rarely saw Kwon Yu-ri.
He quickly poked Choi Jung-woo and said, "You actually know Kwon Woo-ri? She even came to your coming-of-age ceremony?"
Choi Jung-woo was still a little dazed when he was poked. He turned his gaze away and whispered, "It wasn't me, it was Choi Taek's friend."
Ah, I see.
Seeing the person asking the question had an expression that said "it wouldn't be surprising if it was Cui Ze", Cui Zhengyu felt a little discouraged. His cousin was really the most powerful person among the younger generation of the Cui family.
Yu Li's arrival made everyone temporarily forget about Yin Yancan, and they all stood up to socialize. Yu Li's attitude was lukewarm, and she had no intersection with these people in the future. In Quan Zaijing's words, "Do I have to care about everyone?"
Only Pei Haocheng sat steadily. After Yu Li congratulated Cui Zhengyu, she looked at him. This man has been living a secluded life since he returned home. He only goes between school and home. He doesn't like socializing and doesn't participate in parties. It's really rare to see him.
When the people present saw Yu Li noticed Pei Haocheng, the things that had been forgotten before came back to mind. Someone pointed at Yin Yancan and asked Pei Haocheng: "Haocheng, what did you mean by that just now? Aren't you familiar with each other?"
Pei Haocheng asked back: "Should we be familiar with each other?"
Everyone's expressions became strange.
Yin Yancan stood up awkwardly, her lips pale. She looked at Pei Haocheng with tears in her eyes: "Haocheng..."
But in her heart, she secretly hated Pei Haocheng for not knowing how to appreciate her kindness. If she hadn't brought Pei Haocheng back to the Pei family, Pei Haocheng would still be chopping wood in the mountain village. Not only was he not grateful to her, but he also opposed her everywhere. Pei Haocheng was an ungrateful person.
She never understood why Pei Haocheng was so cold to her, but then she thought, Pei Haocheng was not very enthusiastic towards Pei Yanbin, maybe he was just naturally indifferent to emotions.
Yin Yancan made this gesture only hoping that Pei Haocheng would give her face and let this matter pass quickly. She didn't want to be ostracized by this group of people before the coming-of-age ceremony even started.
However, how could Yu Li miss this opportunity? When Cui Ze saw Yu Li's expression change, he knew that she was going to cause trouble again. He felt amused and stood obediently behind Yu Li like a wooden man.
Yu Li put on a worried look and stared at Yin Yancan: "Oh my, how can you say that? What should we do with Yi Na? She will cry in her quilt when she goes home tonight."
Ah this.
Choi Jung-woo touched his head: "Yena?"
"Oh, I forgot. Her name is Yin Yancan now, not Liu Yina." Yu Li adjusted her skirt and found a seat. Cui Ze followed suit. "She used Liu Yina's identity to enroll in our school. The classmates thought she was a real rich girl and took her out to play. Later they found out that they were deceived. She was just a special admissions student."
"By the way, Liu Yina is the daughter of Liu Daoyu from the Liu family and has been studying abroad."
Holy crap, a special recruit pretended to be a rich girl to attend an aristocratic college, but was finally exposed?
Yin Yancan is actually such a person!
For a moment, those who were close to Yin Yancan subconsciously stood further away, with a hint of disgust unconsciously between their brows. They didn't want to have anything to do with such a person. No wonder Pei Haocheng looked down on Yin Yancan. He must have known for a long time that such a person should not be made close friends.
Yu Li continued to exaggerate, asking Pei Haocheng, "I heard she was your savior?"
Pei Haocheng didn't know that Yin Yancan was pretending to be a rich girl. He was wondering why his father suddenly wanted to send Yin Yancan to study in Jiutang. Could it be that she was expelled after being exposed?
Hearing Yu Li's question, he rarely responded, "Yes, I fell down the mountain at that time. It is said that she carried me to the hospital, and I happened to meet my father there."
What a coincidence? Yu Li's first reaction was disbelief. Yin Yancan was so lucky to have happened to meet Pei Haocheng, who had been stranded and not killed, and to have saved him and sent him to the Pei family hospital, and to have also happened to meet Pei Yanbin.
You should know that Pei Yanbin went abroad a long time ago because of the loss of his son and has not returned to China for ten years. The last time he returned to China was because his elderly family members were sick and he had to come back to visit them, but Yin Yancan ran into him.
With a chuckle, Yu Li asked Pei Haocheng to pay more attention: "Our Yancan approached Liu Yina three years ago. It took him three years to borrow Liu Yina's identity. Maybe that's how he saved your life."
Pei Haocheng's eyes narrowed, and his expression became even colder: "Thank you, I will pay attention."
"Yuli!" Yin Yancan had to stand up and deny it. If Quan Yuli continued to talk, she would be kicked out of the Cui family. "It's obviously not what you said. It was a misunderstanding between me and Ye Na. It was Ye Na who asked me to use her identity first."
Yu Li raised an eyebrow: "Misunderstanding?"
Pei Haocheng and others all looked over.
Yu Li: "Then call Liu Yina and ask her to tell me that this is a misunderstanding."
Yin Yancan didn't move.
Yu Li propped up her head, looking puzzled: "Why didn't you call? Don't you have a phone? Aren't you good friends?"
"Or, you've been blocked and can't make a call?"
Cui Ze added lightly, "Can good friends be blocked?"
Yin Yancan shuddered twice, as if frightened by Yu Li and Cui Ze's aggressiveness. After a while, she put on a tough expression: "No matter what you say, I didn't do it. I know most people here may not believe me, but it doesn't matter. The innocent will be cleared."
…
"Ah, that's really interesting." Yu Li replied after two seconds of silence, and also gave Yin Yancan a round of applause.
To be honest, I was shocked.
Choi Jung-woo came over to smooth things over. Quan Yuli's arrival attracted everyone's attention, making him look like a mere guest: "Hey, everyone, look at me! I'm the star of the show today."
He joked, "Do I need to have a halo of a leading role to be successful?"
"Hahaha, no need for that. Jungwoo, don't you have the face of a leading man?" Choi Jungwoo echoed his words. Kwon Woo-ri and Bae Ho-seung were too far away for them to get involved with. It would be better for them to build a good relationship with Choi Jungwoo. "If you ask me, you and Ho-seung are the most handsome in the class."
The Choi family has good genes, and even with Choi Taek and Bae Haocheng in charge, Choi Jung-woo's handsomeness cannot be ignored.
"That's what I mean." Unable to continue talking about Yin Yancan, Yu Li chatted lazily with Cui Ze, "Your cousin is pretty good-looking."
Cui Ze pretended to be dissatisfied: "Oh? How did I make you dissatisfied?"
"I'm satisfied with everything." Yu Li tapped her head. In her mind, Cui Ze and Cui Zhengyu were completely different. "But there is a difference between being satisfied and being satisfied."
Because I am very satisfied, I am willing to invest the feeling of "cherishing" in this friendship.
Cui Ze better not let her down.
Cui Ze only looked at Yu Li, his eyes deep. He also cherished this relationship, so Yu Li didn't want to let him down.
They can be on the same side for life and be the closest partners.
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted to create a brand?" Cui Ze asked about starting a business. He hadn't heard Yu Li mention it recently.
Yu Li hummed, "I had a brief chat with Wu Qingyu last time, and I've been making plans ever since. I'm going to go through the formalities myself, and I've almost finished preparing them in the past two days."
Cui Ze offered his opinion: "Isn't Wu Qingyu an important part?"
"Of course not," Yu Li denied. "She's still too young. I can only say she has talent. I was planning to send her to further education, but she's in her third year of high school now, so she definitely doesn't have much energy for work."
Yu Li knew what was going on, so Cui Ze didn't ask any more questions. In the blink of an eye, the coming-of-age ceremony began, and everyone took their gifts and moved to another place.
In addition to Cui Zhengyu's own friends, the Cui family also invited business partners and relatives and friends to the coming-of-age ceremony. There were so many people, thanks to the large size of the Cui family's manor.
As Choi Jung-woo took the stage to speak, Yu Li looked around and asked, "Is your father not coming home at noon?"
Cui Ze's expression remained unchanged. "Of all the young generations in the Cui family, the only coming-of-age ceremony he attended was mine. He negotiated two partnerships at the banquet and secured tens of billions in investment."
"Tsk." Yu Li pretended, "Our Cui Ze is so pitiful. On his birthday, he was so eager to see his father's eyes on him with admiration, but in the end, he found that his father only cared about his work, and cried in his sleep."
"Kwon Woo-ri, shut up." The words were harsh, but Cui Ze's eyes were full of laughter. "If you say anything else, I'll throw you out."
Yu Li zipped up her mouth. Choi Jung Woo's speech had come to an end. He looked at the huge crowd below the stage and knew that 90% of the people here were not there for him.
It was for the Cui family and for his fourth uncle.
Looking around, Kwon Woo-ri was sitting next to Choi Taek, talking and laughing. She nodded politely when she met his gaze. Then came Bae Hao-seong and Yoon Yeon-chan. Bae Hao-seong had a cold face as usual, while Yoon Yeon-chan smiled brightly at him and made a "come on" gesture.
Cui Zhengyu was stunned.
This innocent Miss Yin is surprisingly courageous.
After Choi Jung-woo stepped down, his relatives and friends were handed over to the adults of the Choi family for entertaining. He only needed to focus on his own friends. There was a gift-giving session before the meal, and Choi Jung-woo accepted them one by one with a smile.
No matter what, I would like to thank those who came to attend his coming-of-age ceremony.
Some people gave jerseys, some gave sports watches as gifts, and a funny guy gave a bouquet of flowers, which were all colorful. A group of boys were laughing. Yu Li didn't understand at first, but when Cui Ze explained that the flowers were made of underwear and arranged in a flower pattern, she finally understood.
To put it simply, she was a little further away from the bouquet. Pei Haocheng had given her a pony, but he didn't bring it with him. He kept it at the stable so that Cui Zhengyu could see it himself when he had time. Cui Zhengyu was helpless. This guy was really...
However, what Pei Haocheng sent was definitely not a cheap item. He expected a race-level horse.
It was Yin Yancan's turn. She took out a flowerpot with a piece of wood inside.
Yu Li, who also gave away plants: ...
It was actually sent together with Yin Yancan. I feel that the flowers are not clean when I think about it.
Yin Yancan handed it to Cui Zhengyu: "This is a pot of Brazilian wood. My family is very ordinary, so I can't give you an expensive gift, but this is also what I carefully selected."
"It has a very strong vitality and can sprout again even after being burned. It's just a piece of wood now. Maybe it's a bit pretentious to say this, but I think some flowers are like people, tenacious and self-reliant. As long as you work hard to water it, it will eventually bloom."
The Brazilian wood was handed to Cui Zhengyu, and Yin Yancan said, "This flower belongs to you."
Cui Zhengyu stared blankly at the pot of rubber tree. Is Yin Yancan saying that one day he will have his day to shine?
He took it and said thank you sincerely.
"What is this, a confession?" Yu Li was disdainful. Yin Yancan really knew how to praise one person and put one down. Didn't he see that the faces of the other people who gave "expensive gifts" turned black?
Taking the Jade Orchid from Cui Ze, she didn't bother to make up a story and handed it directly to Cui Zhengyu:
"You are already a rare species, you don't need to work hard to bloom."
