Chapter 51
The Engagement Banquet (1)
On the side, Chen Xinjie gulped. My god, when did Pei Qiqi fish such a giant golden turtle?
She tagged along closely and also made a face at Pei Huan. It angered her so much that her face turned pale and caused Zhou Meilin to almost pass out…
Pei Qiqi allowed Tang Yu to hold onto her tiny hand. Her head hung low and she didn’t dare to look at anyone.
She knew just how much power Tang Yu had. Right now, they must be talk of the town…
She struggled a little but didn’t succeed. He had gripped her tightly and then he looked down onto her, “Be good.”
Pei Qiqi weakly smiled. Only until he brought her right in front of Lin Jinrong, did he let go.
Pei Huan was standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Jinrong, though she was gritting her teeth in secret, in her mind, she thought, so what Pei Qiqi was garnering Tang Yu’s affection right now? There was no way Tang Yu was going to marry her. Plus, Pei Qiqi was still in love with Jinrong… This was something that made her want to die and made her feel extremely humiliated about.
Pei Huan’s fingers grabbed onto Lin Jinrong’s arm. She acted cutely, “Jinrong, can you introduce me?”
Lin Jinrong’s gaze scanned across Pei Qiqi’s face before landing on Tang Yu. After a long while, he finally said, “This is my cousin, Tang Yu, the President of Sheng Yuan.”
Pei Huan’s eyes showed signs of shock. She liked Lin Jinrong because of his looks and because of his family status. But for her to be standing in front of a President of a company, she felt dizzy.
She had some common sense though. She was getting engaged with Lin Jinrong. Plus, a man like Tang Yu was not easy to control. So, she extended her hand and said, “Then, I will call you brother Tang Yu from now on…”
However, Tang Yu did not respond nor did he extend his hand. Pei Huan’s hand froze in mid-air for a long time, making her feel embarrassed…
She giggled awkwardly and then looked over to Pei Qiqi, “What a coincidence, Pei Qiqi is my half sister. We share the same dad.”
Tang Yu finally thought she said something worth acknowledging. He glanced over her up and down and then grinned, “I couldn’t tell…”
Pei Huan was happy to hear that but Tang Yu added, “I thought Pei Qiqi would be younger than you.”
Pei Huan couldn’t even force a smile at this point…
After a long while, she finally endured this and then lifted an eyebrow, “Qiqi, did you bring me a gift?”
Pei Qiqi took out a box from her purse. Pei Huan took it over but wasn’t interested. It wasn’t going to be something valuable anyway.
Afterwards, Chen Xinjie also handed over the gift she brought. However, she gave it to Lin Jinrong.
Lin Jinrong took it over and his gaze landed on Chen Xinjie’s face. He remembered that that time, he gave his birthday party invitation to Chen Xinjie and asked her to give it to Pei Qiqi. How did it end up in Pei Huan’s hand?
None of that mattered now…
Chen Xinjie lifted her head and gave Lin Jinrong a deep look, “Senior, I wish you happiness.”
Happiness?
Lin Jinrong laughed at himself. With Pei Huan?
Pei Huan looked at Chen Xinjie and wasn’t feeling happy. What was with the way she was looking at Jinrong?
Just as the atmosphere was getting interesting, a gentle voice arose, “Tang Yu, why aren’t you going over?”
Pei Qiqi looked up and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a turquois colored Qipao. What she wore was plain and there was only some accessories around the sleeves and the collar. Her hair was in an updo. Though simple, her temperament was noble and she resembled Tang Yu.
