Master Pei's Wife is a Devil Concubine

Chapter 285 - 285 Su Ji’s Birthday Present

285 Su Ji’s Birthday Present

The room that Su Ji slept in that night was also the same room Bai Yueguang slept in.

It was a very simple farmer’s hut. One could easily look in from the outside.

However, the people here were all members of their crew, so there was no problem with safety.

Su Ji lifted the curtain and entered the hut. She stepped onto the bed and sat in a manly posture.

There was a short wooden table by the bed, and two cups of tea on the table. They were props for the scene and the tea had cooled down.

She picked it up and drank it. The moon was bright and there were few stars in the sky.

It was pleasant.

Su Ji took a deep breath, and the buzzing in her head disappeared.

Through the window, she could see Xu Ni standing under a tree in the distance, smoking and talking on the phone. The red cigarette butt flickered.

As Su Ji was reading, her phone rang.

Pei Huai was video calling her.

Su Ji answered the call.

In the video, Pei Huai was on the balcony of the Pei family’s living room. He had been staying in the Pei family’s house for the past few days, and the background of his video at the moment was in sharp contrast to Su Ji’s.

Su Ji looked like she had been sent to the army. Her windows were leaking, and there was nothing in the room, but she was in a good mood.

Pei Huai said, “the lights on your side are very dim.”

Su Ji looked at the big light bulb above her head, “we’ll have to make do.”

Pei Huai frowned, “when are you going back to the room?”

“? This is my room,” Su Ji said.

Pei Huai’s frown deepened.

Su Ji knew what he was thinking, “it’s just for one night. Don’t make a fuss. Everyone is staying in the same kind of room. I don’t want to be special.”

Pei Huai: “…”

“Are you video-calling Su Ji?” Pei Qingshen’s voice was heard.

Su Ji greeted him, and Pei Xi, Pei Song, and Pei Xingxing walked past them one by one. Su Ji chatted with all of them for a while.

It was not easy to get them to stop talking. Pei Huai was rather apologetic,

I’ll video call you in the study next time.”

Su Ji bent one knee and propped her foot on the edge of the bed, the other leg under it. She looked at the screen and asked, “what’s that in your hand?”

“This one?” In Pei Huai’s hands was a copy of the description of a foreign property. He liquidated part of his funds to purchase it, and it was not a small property.

Su Ji touched the tip of her nose, and her jealous expression was obvious, “you have so much spare money.”

Pei Huai didn’t say anything else. He just said, “it’s not far from the lychee manor.”

Su Ji couldn’t stand the thought of having an endless supply of lychee. She turned her head and looked out of the window. Xu Ni had just finished his phone call and would pass by her room on his way back to his room. She said hurriedly, “I need to go now.”

Pei Huai saw her eyes lit up, “what is it?”

Su Ji smiled, “business.”

After that, she hung up.

She stepped on the bed, opened the window wider, and called out to him.

Xu Ni stopped in his tracks, “what?”

Su Ji smiled like a cunning businessman, “come, let me show you something in my room.”

Xu Ni: “…”

After hesitating for a few seconds, he looked around. The dining area was still lively, and no one was paying attention to them. Xu Ni paused for a moment, lifted the curtain, and entered the room…

On Pei Huai’s end, the call was ruthlessly hung up before he could even say a word.

Business…

His girlfriend wanted to be self-reliant, even though he was her biggest business.

“Pei Huai.”

Pei Huai looked over indifferently.

Pei Xi was sitting at the bar. She had just made a cup of black coffee and was stirring it with a metal spoon.

Pei Xi asked mysteriously, “it seems to me that the property you’re looking at is the Mediterranean Palace.”

Pei Huai replied, “yes, you’re right.”

Pei Xi’s hand that was stirring the coffee paused, “really? You’re really buying it?”

The Mediterranean Palace was a place where all the world’s richest people had their eyes on.

The scenery there was beautiful, the air was pleasant, and the facilities were perfect. It was high-tech and luxurious, a symbol of absolute status.

The main reason Pei Huai wanted it was because it was close to the lychee manor.

It was clear that it was Su Ji’s birthday gift.

It’s a bit tacky to give her a house. He didn’t know if she would like it.

He had been thinking about it for a long time. He felt that he could not surpass the birthday gift that Su Ji gave him no matter what he gave her.

The difference was too great.

...

Pei Xi finished her coffee in one gulp, “cough cough…wait, isn’t that too much?”

Pei Song, who happened to pass by, added, “if you two don’t get married, there’s no way you can end this, right?”

Pei Huai replied, “it’s just a gift for her. There are no conditions.”

Pei Xi teased Pei Song, “do you know why you’re still single? It’s because you’re not rich enough!”

Pei Song agreed. He then turned to look at Pei Qingshen, who had just returned from the backyard, “grandpa, someone is going to empty your house.”

Pei Qingshen was obviously sad again after watching the moon in the courtyard. He shook his head and pointed at them, “money is like floating clouds to me. My biggest dream in life is to be my great-grandchildren’s favorite person. I’m leaving all this money for them…”

Pei Xingxing seemed to have heard of a business opportunity. He ran to his great-grandfather’s feet and hugged his leg. “Grandpa, I’m your great-grandson. Can you give me all the money?”

He also wanted to use this money to pursue Su Ji!

Pei Qingshen bent down and touched his little face, looking at him calmly. “You’re almost four years old. I’m talking about a newborn great-grandchild.”

Pei Xi’s beautiful eyes narrowed. When she heard this, she felt tired. Bill had not let her rest for a single day.

Originally, after the commercial shoot, his management company had asked him to go back and discuss a new project, but he had turned it down.

...

He didn’t even care about his career at this point.

Pei Xi had the foresight to quickly bring the topic back to his third brother. “There are still a few months before Su Ji’s birthday. Why did you buy it now? I heard that the housing prices there are at their peak.”

“It’s already too late,” Pei Huai was calmly dealing with an official business on his phone. “The renovation will take at least 20 years, and the fastest is to shorten it to 5 years. It’ll be barely presentable in a few months.”

Pei Xi recalled the interior design of a palace she had seen in a magazine, “you’re such a perfectionist.”

Pei Song placed his arm on the side of the bar, raised his eyebrows, and smiled, “when the renovation is done, I think you can use it as your wedding venue.”

Pei Huai’s fingers didn’t stop typing on the keyboard. His tone was calm as he said, “the house is for her. As for whether she’ll let me move in or not, it’ll be up to her.”

Everyone in the room was impressed by his words.

That included Pei Xingxing.

After signing the contract, Pei Huai asked Shen Mu in the message,

[ “Update on the person I asked you to find?” ]

[ “I’ve found a few key suspects. I’ll send them to you now?” ]

Pei Huai’s expression was slightly tense. He put aside the property information and sat on the rattan chair, unmoving.

“Do it.”
