Pei Jiao spent nearly ten minutes telling Matriarch Wei the reason for her appearance here. The entire process was extremely touching. When she saw Matriarch Wei’s pained expression, Pei Jiao’s heart was clear. As expected, sincerity was always a sure-kill move!
Matriarch Wei stood up and walked to Pei Jiao. She held Pei Jiao’s hand and said, “Silly girl, stop crying. Grandma’s heart is about to break.”
Pei Jiao sobbed. “Grandma, I’m afraid you’ll blame me.”
“What are you saying? Why would Grandma blame you? Grandma’s heart aches for you,” Matriarch Wei said with heartache.
Pei Jiao lowered her eyes and said intermittently, “But no matter what, this is… a lie. Wei Yu still doesn’t know my identity, but I’m afraid that if I tell him my true identity… he won’t want me anymore.”
“How dare he!” Matriarch Wei’s expression darkened.
Pei Jiao was shocked by Matriarch Wei’s aura. She was stunned and did not say anything.
Seeing this, Matriarch Wei knew that she had frightened Pei Jiao. She quickly comforted her gently, ‘Grandma is talking about him, not you. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. Grandma will make the decision for you!’
Matriarch Wei’s attitude undoubtedly gave Pei Jiao a chance to continue suggesting.
Seeing that the time was right, she said, “Grandma, although Wei Yu doesn’t know my identity now, he’s very good to me and likes me more and more. I want you to keep this secret for me for the time being. When Wei Yu completely falls in love with me, I’ll take the initiative to lay my cards on the table and explain this matter to him. At that time, we’ll have a certain strong relationship foundation. Wei Yu won’t abandon me even if he i s angry.”
Her words were sincere. Especially the last sentence: Wei Yu won’t abandon me even if he’s angry. Anyone could tell that she had placed herself very low in this relationship. From the beginning until now, she had been silently fighting and giving.
After Matriarch Wei heard Pei Jiao’s words, her heart ached. She opened her arms and hugged Pei Jiao lovingly. “Grandma will listen to you. Grandma won’t interfere, but Jiaojiao, you’re Pei Qingjiu’s daughter. Your brother is also a famous and influential figure in the capital. Grandma’s heart aches for you.”
“I’m not aggrieved.” Pei Jiao withdrew from Matriarch Wei’s arms and pretended to be strong as she shook her head. “Grandma, I really don’t feel aggrieved at all. If I like someone, I should be wholehearted. I like Wei Yu. I’m willing to have him in my world.”
When Matriarch Wei heard this, she sighed helplessly. “Girl, the stakes are so high now. What if you pay the wrong amount?”
“Life should take a gamble while you’re young,” Pei Jiao said with a yearning expression. “l won’t regret it even if we become strangers in the future. At least I’ve worked hard to fight for it. 1 have no regrets.”
Matriarch Wei was deeply gratified. “Since you’ve said so, what else can
Grandma say? You’re just like your mother back then. You’re a little romantic.”
Pei Jiao was stunned. She did not show this reaction on purpose. Instead, she subconsciously reacted in surprise when she heard Matriarch Wei say that her mother was a romanticist. She had never known that her mother was a romantic when she was young!
“Are you surprised?” Matriarch Wei asked her with a smile.
Pei Jiao nodded. “l thought my father was the romantic one. My father loved my mother very much.”
“That was after they got married. He wasn’t like this before they got married. I have seen a lot back then.” At the mention of the past, Matriarch Wei was in high spirits. Hence, she pulled Pei Jiao to talk about the past.
Just as they were getting excited, there was a knock on the door.
“Xiu Zhi, go and see who’s knocking so loudly.” Matriarch Wei was displeased.
The woman called Xiu Zhi by Matriarch Wei was the woman who had opened the door for Pei Jiao just now. She was the butler of the Wei family and Matriarch Wei’s trusted aide.
Xiu Zhi went to open the door. Seeing that it was Wei Yu, Xiu Zhi shouted,
“Young Master. ”
Wei Yu walked in with a cold expression. When he saw Pei Jiao sitting beside Matriarch Wei, the coldness on Wei Yu’s face clearly decreased by more than half. He even ignored Matriarch Wei’s existence and went forward to hold Pei Jiao’s hand.
Pei Jiao was forced to stand up and then be pulled into Wei Yu e s arms.
Matriarch Wei was stunned, but she did not say anything to disturb the two of them..
