Pei Jiao spent nearly ten minutes telling Matriarch Wei the reason for her appearance here. The entire process was extremely touching. When she saw Matriarch Weiâs pained expression, Pei Jiaoâs heart was clear. As expected, sincerity was always a sure-kill move!
Matriarch Wei stood up and walked to Pei Jiao. She held Pei Jiaoâs hand and said, âSilly girl, stop crying. Grandmaâs heart is about to break.â
Pei Jiao sobbed. âGrandma, Iâm afraid youâll blame me.â
âWhat are you saying? Why would Grandma blame you? Grandmaâs heart aches for you,â Matriarch Wei said with heartache.
Pei Jiao lowered her eyes and said intermittently, âBut no matter what, this is⦠a lie. Wei Yu still doesnât know my identity, but Iâm afraid that if I tell him my true identity⦠he wonât want me anymore.â
âHow dare he!â Matriarch Weiâs expression darkened.
Pei Jiao was shocked by Matriarch Weiâs aura. She was stunned and did not say anything.
Seeing this, Matriarch Wei knew that she had frightened Pei Jiao. She quickly comforted her gently, âGrandma is talking about him, not you. Donât be afraid, donât be afraid. Grandma will make the decision for you!â
Matriarch Weiâs attitude undoubtedly gave Pei Jiao a chance to continue suggesting.
Seeing that the time was right, she said, âGrandma, although Wei Yu doesnât know my identity now, heâs very good to me and likes me more and more. I want you to keep this secret for me for the time being. When Wei Yu completely falls in love with me, Iâll take the initiative to lay my cards on the table and explain this matter to him. At that time, weâll have a certain strong relationship foundation. Wei Yu wonât abandon me even if he i s angry.â
Her words were sincere. Especially the last sentence: Wei Yu wonât abandon me even if heâs angry. Anyone could tell that she had placed herself very low in this relationship. From the beginning until now, she had been silently fighting and giving.
After Matriarch Wei heard Pei Jiaoâs words, her heart ached. She opened her arms and hugged Pei Jiao lovingly. âGrandma will listen to you. Grandma wonât interfere, but Jiaojiao, youâre Pei Qingjiuâs daughter. Your brother is also a famous and influential figure in the capital. Grandmaâs heart aches for you.â
âIâm not aggrieved.â Pei Jiao withdrew from Matriarch Weiâs arms and pretended to be strong as she shook her head. âGrandma, I really donât feel aggrieved at all. If I like someone, I should be wholehearted. I like Wei Yu. Iâm willing to have him in my world.â
When Matriarch Wei heard this, she sighed helplessly. âGirl, the stakes are so high now. What if you pay the wrong amount?â
âLife should take a gamble while youâre young,â Pei Jiao said with a yearning expression. âl wonât regret it even if we become strangers in the future. At least Iâve worked hard to fight for it. 1 have no regrets.â
Matriarch Wei was deeply gratified. âSince youâve said so, what else can
Grandma say? Youâre just like your mother back then. Youâre a little romantic.â
Pei Jiao was stunned. She did not show this reaction on purpose. Instead, she subconsciously reacted in surprise when she heard Matriarch Wei say that her mother was a romanticist. She had never known that her mother was a romantic when she was young!
âAre you surprised?â Matriarch Wei asked her with a smile.
Pei Jiao nodded. âl thought my father was the romantic one. My father loved my mother very much.â
âThat was after they got married. He wasnât like this before they got married. I have seen a lot back then.â At the mention of the past, Matriarch Wei was in high spirits. Hence, she pulled Pei Jiao to talk about the past.
Just as they were getting excited, there was a knock on the door.
âXiu Zhi, go and see whoâs knocking so loudly.â Matriarch Wei was displeased.
The woman called Xiu Zhi by Matriarch Wei was the woman who had opened the door for Pei Jiao just now. She was the butler of the Wei family and Matriarch Weiâs trusted aide.
Xiu Zhi went to open the door. Seeing that it was Wei Yu, Xiu Zhi shouted,
âYoung Master. â
Wei Yu walked in with a cold expression. When he saw Pei Jiao sitting beside Matriarch Wei, the coldness on Wei Yuâs face clearly decreased by more than half. He even ignored Matriarch Weiâs existence and went forward to hold Pei Jiaoâs hand.
Pei Jiao was forced to stand up and then be pulled into Wei Yu e s arms.
Matriarch Wei was stunned, but she did not say anything to disturb the two of them..
