Pei Jiao wanted to say, âUhâ¦â
The more Wei Yu spoke, the more resentful he became. âNow that youâve coaxed me, you donât want me anymore. Pei Jiao, only you dare to treat me like this in this life. Only you would trample on my sincerity!â
Pei Jiao wanted to say,
Wei Yu snorted. âl admit that Iâve fallen into your hands in this life. Whether you want me or not, Iâll rely on you from now on.â
Pei Jiao:
âNoâ¦â Pei Jiao walked closer to the bed and reminded Wei Yu, âIâm getting engaged tomorrow. Is there a point in you clinging to me like this?â
Wei Yuâs expression became much calmer. âAs long as you dare to get engaged,
Iâll snatch the marriage tomorrow. If I canât, I donât mind being the third party.â
Pei Jiaoâs lips twitched. âYouâre crazy.â
Wei Yu smiled sarcastically. âIndeed. I went crazy for love and was driven crazy by you,â
More than once, Pei Jiao felt that Wei Yu was very paranoid, especially now.
âYou want to stop this engagement, right? Letâs see if you can enter the hotel tomorrow.â With that, Pei Jiao turned around and left with a cold expression.
Wei Yu saw that Pei Jiao had really left this time. He scrambled off the bed, but his injured body was too disappointing, causing him to fall off the bed.
With a thud, Pei Jiao turned around and saw a disheveled figure lying on the clean floor. But this time, Pei Jiao did not soften and left.
Wei Yu choked. âYou really donât care about me anymoreâ¦â
It was already past eleven when Pei Jiao returned to the Pei residence. When she returned so late, she thought that her parents were already asleep.
However, before she reached the entrance of the Pei residence, she saw that the lights were brightly lit in front of her.
It was over. There would definitely be a denunciation next.
She prayed that her mother was alone and not the entire family. She went in with trepidation. When she saw that besides her mother, there was also her father, brother, and sister-in-law sitting on the sofa in the living room, she almost blacked out.
âYo, youâre back.â
Han Qianyeâs calm tone came,
Pei Qingji looked up at his daughter who had returned with a tense expression. Pei Jingzhouâs face was cold. Only Li Xiwu smiled when she saw Pei Jiao return. Then, she waved at Pei Jiao. âCome here.â
Pei Jiao noticed that Li Xiwu was sitting alone on a small sofa and was not sitting with her brother. Li Xiwu asked her to sit in the seat beside her, far from her brother and her parents.
At that moment, Pei Jiao was grateful. She quickly walked to Li Xiwuâs side and was about to sit down when Pei Jingzhou suddenly said, âDid 1 let you sit?â
Pei Jiaoâs tone was so soft. âBrother!â
How angry could he be with his biological sister? She did not understand and went against the rules. Calling him âbrotherâ was more useful than anything else. Pei Jiao kept practicing the truth.
Although Pei Jingzhouâs tone was still cold, his expression was clearly much better than before. âSit down and talk.â
âAye, aye.â After Pei Jiao sat down, Li Xiwu held her hand and told her not to worry. Pei Jiao was so touched that she almost snuggled into Li Xiwuâs arms. Han Qianye couldnât bear to look. âLook at you, whereâs your courage?â
Pei Jiao said, âCourage canât be eaten. Itâs fine if you donât have it.â
Han Qianye laughed in anger and asked directly, âDid you send that Wei kid to the hospital?â
Pei Jiao nodded. âYes.â
Han Qianye asked, âDead?â
âNo,â Pei Jiao said honestly. âl was about to come back after sending Wei Yu to the hospital, but he woke up, so 1 wanted to take a look and chat with him.
Thatâs why I came back a little late.â
As for what they talked about, Han Qianye and Pei Qingji were not curious. Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu were not curious either. However, there was something that had to be clarified tonight, so Han Qianye said, âEveryone present is family. Jiaojiao, tell us the truth. Do you have feelings for Wei Yu?â
âNo!â Pei Jiao immediately denied it. But the faster she denied it, the more it meant she was trying to hide something.
After thinking about it, Han Qianye swallowed some of the questions she wanted to ask and only asked, âThen the engagement tomorrow will be held as usual?â
âOf course it will be held as usual, butâ¦â Pei Jiao suddenly looked at Pei Jingzhou. âBrother, when Wei Yu comes tomorrow, just stop him. Donât hit him again.â
Pei Jingzhou said coldly, âDoes your heart aches?â
âBrother, Iâm a human, not a cold-blooded animal. It would be a sin not to let him live well when heâs about to die.â Pei Jiao smiled bitterly. âAnyway, itâs enough that Iâve achieved my goal. Donât hurt him again.â
Pei Jingzhou understood what Pei Jiao meant. No matter how much she hated Wei Yu, she only hated him. She was not so vicious that she wished Wei Yu would die. If it really came to that, his sisterâs innocence from when she was young would be gone.
It was already too late. Han Qianye yawned and did not say anything else. She stood up and went back upstairs. Before Pei Qingji left, he reminded Pei Jiao, âIf you want to change your mind, tell me directly. Donât feel any burden.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Youâre my daughter.â
Pei Jiaoâs eyes sparkled. know, Dad.â
After Pei Qingji and Han Qianye went upstairs, Pei Jingzhou also stood up. Just as he reached out to hold Li Xiwuâs hand, Li Xiwu said, âGo up first. Iâll talk to Jiaojiao for a while. Iâll be up soon.â
Pei Jingzhou did not say anything. He nodded and went upstairs.
Now, only Li Xiwu and Pei Jiao were left in the living room. Pei Jiao knew that Li Xiwu had something to say to her. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she took the initiative to ask, âSister-in-law, what do you want to tell me?â
Li Xiwu pursed her lips. âDonât let yourself regret it.â
Pei Jiao couldnât help but smile. âSister-in-law, donât tell me you think I like wei Yu too?â
Li Xiwu shook her head, then stood up and placed her hand on Pei Jiaoâs shoulder. âYouâre the one who wants to keep the answer to yourself.â
Pei Jiao was suddenly silent.
The next morning.
Shengshi Hotel was in full swing preparing for an engagement ceremony. In the fitting room, from seven oâclock onwards, rows of hangers were pushed in front of Pei Jiao, allowing her to choose the gown she wanted to wear today.
But it was almost nine oâclock. Pei Jiao chose none.
Perhaps because it was a last-minute engagement, the gown had to be custom-made in advance. The shortest time to work was a week. Three days
was far from enough. They could only choose from the various brands. It was inevitable that she would be picky.
When Qin Zhuoning arrived, he heard that Pei Jiao had yet to choose a gown, so he could only go up to look for her personally..
