Ni Sitian looked at her, unsure if she was overthinking it, but she felt that Jiayue hadn't let go of that matter.
"Oh, my little darling." Xu Jiayue smiled as she took the bag and affectionately rubbed it against her arm.
Seeing how happy she was to receive the bag, Ni Sitian realized that she might have been overthinking things.
“Zhi Lan…” Ni Sitian turned around, her gaze searching for Zhi Lan, but she saw Pei Yang’s profile instead.
Xu Jiayue happily carried her new bag, then turned around and saw Ni Sitian standing there in a daze. Her eyes followed her gaze and saw Pei Yang in another bag shop, with Yan Yu standing next to him, smiling sweetly.
She had learned a few days ago that the old man originally wanted him to marry Yan Yu, but after he married her, the old man intended for him to enjoy the bliss of having two wives. And Yan Yu, in a moment of madness, agreed and even wanted to be his concubine.
Perhaps it's just the Pei family's tradition; they don't seem to think there's anything wrong with it, and even Yan Yu said it with complete composure.
That day, she jokingly said to Pei Yang, "A beautiful woman is offering herself up with shares; aren't you tempted?"
Pei Yang pinched her cheek and laughed, calling her a little jealous pot, and saying that he only had her in his heart and would never have any other thoughts.
"Jiayue," Ni Sitian shook Jiayue's finger, reminding her, "They're leaving."
When Xu Jiayue came to her senses, she saw them taking the elevator down. Yan Yu leaned her head closer to him, but he didn't move away. Her feet felt like they were made of lead and she couldn't move.
Ni Sitian felt that this shopping mall was cursed. The last time she and Xiang Zhilan ran into Shen Muzhi and Bai Yutong on the first floor of this mall, this time she ran into Pei Yang and another woman.
However, last time she dared to drag Xiang Zhilan to ask for clarification, but this time she didn't dare to urge Xu Jiayue to go.
After all, Shen Muzhi and Pei Yang are completely different kinds of people. Shen Muzhi is obsessive and deeply affectionate, while Pei Yang...
She had heard Xu Tingchuan mention some of it; anyway, during their student days, the only Category III films they ever watched were those from movies he found and dragged them to watch together.
Moreover, the Pei family's tradition of polygamy is truly inherited from top to bottom. The men in the Pei family are philanderers and frequent subjects of gossip magazines.
Even though Pei Yang is a friend of everyone for many years, it's hard not to be swayed by this scene, especially since she knows about Jia Yue's private matter—they haven't consummated their marriage yet.
"Jiayue?" Ni Sitian squeezed her arm with some unease.
Xu Jiayue snapped out of her daze, pursed her lips, and strode toward the elevator.
When the elevator doors opened, she went inside.
Ni Sitian hurried after her.
The elevator was half made of glass, and looking down from inside, you could see Pei Yang and Yan Yu walking out of the mall.
When they went down to the first floor and out the door, they saw Pei Yang drive away, with Yan Yu in the car.
Xu Jiayue looked down and took out her phone to call Pei Yang, but the call didn't go through.
Ni Sitian received a call from Xiang Zhilan, and only then did she realize that she had left Zhilan alone in the mall. She explained that she and Jiayue had to leave first.
She had just hung up the phone when she saw Xu Jiayue walk across the street to hail a taxi. Fearing something might happen to her, she hurriedly followed.
Xu Jiayue told the driver to follow the black Maserati while she kept calling Pei Yang's cell phone, but it rang twice before being hung up; he was deliberately ignoring her calls.
"Jiayue, don't rush." Ni Sitian held down Xu Jiayue's hand, which was about to dial another number.
Xu Jiayue hesitated for a moment, then decided to see where they were going.
