Chapter 49 (2/2)

Pei Qiqi was a little surprised at this kindness but she didn’t want to accept it. His niceness wasn’t something she could handle.

Looking down, Pei Qiqi’s voice was low, “I will call a taxi.”

Tang Yu didn’t persist. To him, he was willing to spoil her a little once in a while. However, Pei Qiqi was an adult with functional legs… Though he had no idea back then that there will come a day when he will spoil her until she no longer knows how to function.

He had to be somewhere that night. His cousin Jinrong was getting engaged, so he allowed Pei Qiqi to take the day off.

Tang Yu was surprised. According to his mother, the fiancee was Jinrong’s junior in school. Something must’ve happened and the girl’s family was a little headstrong and claimed that if they don’t give their girl a title in the family, they will make a big deal out of whatever happened. So, after many rounds of unpleasant discussions, they decided to get engaged.

He stared at Pei Qiqi and he couldn’t help but think – if Pei Qiqi wasn’t oppressed by Zhou Meilin, maybe she would find someone as excellent as Jinrong.

…

On Saturday, Pei Qiqi went with Chen Xinjie. Though she was from the girl’s side of the family, Zhou Meilin refused to accept her as part of the family. So in the Pei family, Pei Qiqi was put in an awkward spot.

Regarding this, Pei Minghe was very unhappy and always thought he had wronged Pei Qiqi. He had fought against Zhou Meilin but one sentence from Zhou Meilin had shut him up, “Pei Minghe, you want the Lin family to know you have a bastard daughter?”

Pei Minghe walked down the stairs silently and didn’t bring this up again.

The biggest hotel in City B, the GM Hotel, hosted Lin Jinrong and Pei Huan’s engagement party. Zhou Meilin was smiling like a blooming flower in front of Pei Huan. It was as if she was the main character in today’s event.

Compared to her, people from the Lin family were far more lowkey but were also far more prominent.

Zhou Meilin was originally very self-satisfied to have tied down a more well-off family. However, as time went on, the corners of her lips slid down. One, it was because Lin Jinrong had no smiles at all all night. Two, it was because she couldn’t make any conversation with any of the Lin family members.

By the time Chen Xinjie and Pei Qiqi arrived, Zhou Meilin’s smile was simply plastered on her face. When she saw Pei Qiqi, her anger began to take over.
