Wei Yuâs lips curled into a very faint smile. âUncle and Auntie are reasonable.â As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yu raised his hand in acknowledgment. The bodyguard walked towards Han Qianye and Pei Qingji opposite him. He leaned over slightly and handed over the box in his hand with both hands.
âPlease take a look.â
Han Qianye did not move at all. She looked up lazily. Pei Qingji glanced at it and was not interested.
Wei Yu said, âOpen it.â
When the bodyguard heard this, he opened the box. There was an ordinary-looking pearl quietly placed on the dark velvet cloth.
This pearl immediately attracted Pei Qingjiâs gaze. Pei Qingji was surprised that Wei Yu was so generous. âIs this your sincerity?â
âItâs also an apology.â Wei Yu was neither servile nor overbearing. âTo thank
Uncle and Auntie for fulfilling my wish.â
Pei Qingji snorted. âFulfill? Youâre not worthy.â
Han Qianye chased her away. âYou can leave now.â
Wei Yu stood up and nodded slightly. âIâll leave the Heavenly Jewel. This is only a portion of the apology gift. Iâll send more apology gifts later. Uncle, Auntie, goodbye.â With that, Wei Yu turned around and left. His tall figure quickly disappeared from Pei Qingji and Han Qianyeâs sight.
After the bodyguard put down the box, he followed closely behind. If this pearl was placed in front of most ordinary people, they would definitely not recognize that this was actually a priceless Heavenly Jewel.
Han Qianye picked up the box. âThis kid is really straightforward.â
Pei Qingji did not even look at the priceless pearl. âIf not for Wei Chengfeng, that Young brat would not have thought of leaving the Pei Residence today!â
âAlright, whatâs there to be angry about? Itâs not worth our anger.â Han Qianye casually threw the box containing the Heavenly Jewel on the coffee table. The Heavenly Jewel fell out and rolled to the edge of the coffee table.
This was not the first time Han Qianye had casually thrown away a priceless item. She said, âThis kid is so good-looking. It would be a tragedy if Jiaojiao took a fancy to him. Itâs a good thing that he didnât face this betrothal because of his familyâs arrangements. Otherwise, it would have harmed our Jiaojiao.â Pei Qingji laughed angrily. âYou know how to comfort.â
Outside the door, because Wei Yu had come half an hour early, when Pei Jingzhou and Li Xiwu arrived, they encountered Wei Yu.
It was raining just now, so they couldnât see clearly. As they approached, Li Xiwu barely saw the appearance of the person opposite her. He stopped in his tracks, and the bodyguard holding the umbrella for him raised it higher.
âMr. Pei, Mrs. Pei.â Wei Yu spoke first.
Pei Jingzhouâs gaze landed on Wei Yu. âLeaving?
Wei Yu looked up. âI came early. I just finished talking to Uncle and Auntie and was about to go back.â
It was obvious from the scene in front of him that no one else from the Wei family had come today. There was only Wei Yu and the bodyguard holding the umbrella behind him.
Li Xiwu added, âLooks like weâre too late.â
Wei Yu: âIâm the one whoâs early.â
It was obvious that Wei Yu seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Li Xiwu and Pei Jingzhou made way. After the two of them left, she and Pei Jingzhou entered.
After entering, Pei Jingzhou asked about the situation. Han Qianye roughly explained the situation just now. In the end, she smiled and said, âIf that Old Man Wei knew that his son was so rash, he would faint from crying.â
Li Xiwu asked, âThen this betrothal is invalid?â
âYes, itâs naturally invalid,â Han Qianye said lazily. âNo matter how much that Old Man Wei begs or how much he regrets, thereâs definitely no possibility of this betrothal recovering.â
Her voice trailed off.
Pei Jiao walked in, panting and putting her hands on her hips. âIâm back. Iâm finally back in time.. Whereâs Wei Yu? Is he here?â
