“You, you. I don’t think you don’t know. You’re just pretending to be confused in front of me.” Matriarch Wei finally understood. “Ever since Pei Jiao left angrily that night, you didn’t return to the Wei family because you didn’t want to expose yourself in front of an old woman like me.”
Wei Yu frowned. He only knew a little about Matriarch Wei’s words.
Matriarch Wei continued, “Now that the news of Pei Jiao’s engagement to the eldest son of the Qin family has spread throughout the various aristocratic families, even our Wei family has received the engagement invitation. It was our Wei family who let Pei Jiao down. This invitation is clearly ironic. Sigh, at this point, there’s no point in saying anything else. Forget it.”
Matriarch Wei had nothing else to say.
Now that the news of the marriage between the Pei family and the Qin family had spread throughout the various aristocratic families and invitations had been issued, could it change anything?
In the end, Matriarch Wei hung up. Wei Yu held his cell phone in a daze for a long time. At this moment, his mind was filled with what Matriarch Wei had just said. He didn’t seem to understand what was going on. But if he put everything together—Grandma said that it was because he did not coax Pei Jiao well that Pei Jiao got engaged to the eldest son of the Qin family in a fit of anger?
However, after canceling the betrothal with Pei Jiao that day, he had never contacted Pei Jiao again, and Pei Jiao had never looked for him. Then why did Grandma say that he wanted to coax Pei Jiao?
She even said that he had promised to coax her?
Unless…
Wei Yu gradually tightened his grip on the cell phone, the green veins on the back of his hand especially shocked.
Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong!
The doorbell rang urgently.
Wei Yu closed his eyes tightly, the strength in his palm almost crushing the phone. He calmed down for a while and secretly told himself that it was not what he thought.
Fei Yi had nothing to do with Pei Jiao! They were two completely different people,
Wei Yu threw the phone on the sofa and went to open the door.
Ji He stood outside the door. At this moment, his expression was solemn. He was still walking with a newspaper in his hand, but that newspaper looked like it was about to be crumpled by him.
Ji He raised his trembling hand and handed the newspaper to Wei Yua “Young Master, look at this.’
Wei Yu had a bad feeling, so he did not take it. He only asked coldly, “What is this?”
Ji He said, “Miss Fei Yi… Oh no, Miss Pei is getting engaged to Qin Zhuoning!’ In an instant, the air seemed to be enveloped in a layer of coldness.
On the way up, Ji He kept crossing himself in his heart. Now, looking at Young Master’s expression, it seemed that he had drawn fewer crosses.
Wei Yu slowly raised his hand. Under Ji He’s vision, Wei Yu’s fingertips were trembling visibly. He seemed to be trying his best to control and stabilize his emotions. After taking the nearly crumpled newspaper, his hands shook even more.
Ji He cleverly reminded him, “Young Master, why don’t you stop looking? Let’s snatch the marriage tomorrow! ”
“Snatch the marriage?” Wei Yu gently raised his eyes to look at Ji He and threw a series of questions at him. “Why snatch the marriage? Whose marriage? What does it have to do with me?”
Ji He scolded himself for being too quick-witted. “Then Young Master, you should read the newspaper first.”
As Ji He said this, Wei Yu had already flipped open the newspaper. The creases blurred the words. He used his palm to smooth out the irksome creases bit by bit. The originally tiny words seemed to have been pressed on the A+ key and were slowly magnified in front of Wei Yu.
The newspaper reported the news of the marriage between the Pei family and the Qin family.
The Pei family was a top-notch wealthy family in the capital, and the Qin family was also famous in the capital. It was not surprising that the news of the marriage between the two families was in the newspapers.
Now that the news had spread, the entire circle of aristocratic families had different opinions.
Ji He specially reminded him, “Young Master, there’s also a photo below. It’s a photo of Miss Pei and Young Master Qin. The two of them look very compatible.”
That last sentence was undoubtedly like a knife in Wei Yu’s heart. Wei Yu lowered his eyes and continued reading. A black-and-white photo appeared in front of him. When he saw Pei Jiao’s face in the photo, Wei Yu quickly clenched the newspaper.
It’s her…
It was really her…
After going around in circles for so long, at first, he couldn’t understand why she had toyed with his feelings. Why she had been good to him at first, but she had been distant from him. After leaving, she had come back to him again, but she had always shown hostility to him.
All of this was like a joke because—she was Pei Jiao!
Pei Jiao, whom he had annulled the betrothal.
The relationship between the two of them was actually so deep…
Ji He carefully observed Wei Yu’s expression and said angrily, “Young Master, I knew it. This Miss Pei has been up to no good since she appeared that night. She has been deliberately hurting you..”
