The Engagement Banquet (2)
Her instinct told her this was Tang Yu’s mother. As expected, Tang Yu called out, “Mom.”
Lin Yun smiled, “Your uncle’s over there.”
Tang Yu nodded then looked over to Pei Qiqi, “Don’t run around.”
His gaze was one that only Pei Qiqi would understand. What he wanted to say was…”Be good”.
Lin Run didn’t notice Pei Qiqi at first. But now, because of how caring her son was towards this girl, she couldn’t help but give her a second look. At that moment, her expression froze.
So similar!
Lin Yun’s gaze glued onto her and refused to move for a long time…
Tang Yu’s hand gently touched her elbow — his mother had never lost her composure before.
Pei Qiqi felt uncomfortable by that gaze… it was partially because she felt guilty. After all, she was bought by Tang Yu.
Lin Yun caught herself and then smiled at Pei Qiqi, “You are pretty.”
If it weren’t for Pei Qiqi and Tang Yu’s relationship, she would think of Lin Yun as a respectable elder. But their relationship was what it was, so she didn’t know how to respond.
It seemed that no matter what she did, it would end up being awkward. So in the end, she could only faintly grin.
Lin Yun walked alongside her son and then asked casually, “What’s that girl’s name from before? You know her?”
Of course Tang Yu knew what his mother was thinking so he mentioned both girls at once, “Mom, Pei Qiqi is Pei Huan’s older sister.”
Lin Yun said “oh”, sounding relieved. Then, she didn’t pursue it any further.
As they were leaving, Lin Jinrong went with them.
Pei Huan stared at Pei Qiqi and hissed, “There’s a dance later. Don’t feel embarrassed being without a gown,?”
Seriously, she originally thought Pei Qiqi would face some obstacle and be embarrassed, who knew Tang Yu would come at that moment.
Pei Qiqi glanced around. It was true that she was the only person not wearing a gown – she looked out of place.
Faintly, she smiled, “Pei Huan, what are you scared of?”
Pei Huan stared at her, “Pei Qiqi, me, scared of you? You are no more than…”
Before she could finish, Zhou Meilin grabbed onto her and scolded, “Do you still want to stay alive? Why would speak like this?”
Pei Huan gritted her teeth, “Mom, I cannot handle how highly she acts.”
Just as Zhou Meilin was about to comment, a female server came and stood by Pei Qiqi. Respectfully, she said, “Ms. Pei, Mr. Tang had asked me to take you to try on some clothes.”
Pei Huan was going crazy. Zhou Meilin was also dumbfounded and couldn’t help but say, “So he bought her with money. Does he really need to care so much?”
She repeated this again and again. This time, it was Pei Huan who stopped her, “Mom, what are you saying?”
Zhou Meilin regained her composure…
Back then, her hatred and jealousy towards Pei Qiqi was 50% from Pei Qiqi’s mother, and 50% for Pei Huan. Today, her jealousy was 100% for herself.
As a woman, she had never gained Pei Minghe’s love. Though that man had promised the world to her his entire life, she was never able to live with her head held high.
Though Pei Huan and Lin Jinrong were getting engaged, this was achieved through shameful methods. What will happen next was not set in stone.
Now that Pei Qiqi had garnered Tang Yu’s affection, Zhou Meilin was a little jealousy.
Pei Qiqi looked up and found Tang Yu. He stood there casually and there was a faint warm smile in his gaze.
His extraordinarily noble stance struck Pei Qiqi… She quickly followed the server into a luxurious resting room.
