Chapter 474: You ‘re In Luck
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When the paparazzi received the news, they had already surrounded Xu Mingzhi’s house. They were waiting to interview the Pei family’s publicly acknowledged granddaughter-in-law. If they were lucky, they might even be able to capture CEO Pei sending his girlfriend home!
It looked calm outside, but Xu Mingzhi knew where those brats were hiding with a casual glance from the window sill on the second floor.
Initially, she asked Aunt Wu to buy a lot of food to welcome her baby, but these bastards insisted on causing trouble.
Xu Mingzhi punched the teddy bear in her daughter’s room. Aunt Wu, who was cleaning the room behind him, shivered.
Xu Mingzhi called Pei Huai.
“I see.” When he received the call, they were in the car. Pei Huai quickly replied, “then I’ll take her to the Pei family first. Don’t worry, aunty.”
The Pei family’s villa area was highly guarded. The paparazzi could not find it nor enter the area. Xu Mingzhi was indeed very relieved, but…the thought of not being able to see her daughter immediately made her furious.
However, just as she was about to hang up, she heard Pei Huai say, “I’ll send a car to pick you up later.”
Xu Mingzhi: “?”
Pei Huai said, “Su Ji misses you too. Let’s eat at the Pei residence today.”
In the car, Su Ji turned to Pei Huai.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mingzhi looked at her phone. After a while, her red lips curled up.
Pei Huai was thoughtful and meticulous. She really could not find any fault with him.
Unlike the man with the surname Su.
Xu Mingzhi thought of that person and gripped her phone tightly.
He couldn’t even speak clearly. In the interview, he said that it was uncertain whether they would get married. Why didn’t he say that Su Ji should only get married at 30?
An hour later, Su Ji arrived at the Pei residence.
Apart from Su Ji’s herbs, Pei Huai left the rest of her belongings in the palace. He would buy everything for her when they got back.
Su Ji was not a germaphobe like him. She definitely did not want to throw away the clothes that were still wearable, but she could not remember what clothes she brought with her, so she did not feel anything missing.
While the servants were moving the luggage, Su Ji stood at the side with her hands in her pockets. She saw that Wang Yi, who was next door, had also arrived home. He was wearing light gray knitted home clothes and he looked like a scholar wearing his silver-rimmed glasses. After leaving the deserted island, everyone looked like their usual charming selves.
He came out to throw the trash.
Su Ji greeted him.
Wang Yi smiled. “My grandfather is still wondering whether you will go back home or to the Pei family first.”
“The outside of my house is full of paparazzis. We can’t stay here,” Su Ji said.
Wang Yi nodded.
Su Ji said, “I wanted to invite you to my house for dinner, but I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon. We’re gathering at the Pei family’s house today.
Do you want to come, Dr. Wang?”
Her smile was so bright, and her teeth were so white that they reflected light.
Wang Yi pushed his glasses up awkwardly, “I have to go back to the research institute later. I’ll see if I have time later.”
Su Ji did not insist. “No problem.”
At the same time that Wang Yi returned to his room, Pei Huai came out to look for her.
He grabbed Su Ji’s wrist and put his other hand in his pocket. “Are you in such a hurry to help me find a stepfather?”
Su Ji replied casually, “I want to get an extra red packet the coming new year.”
Pei Huai laughed, “Dr. Wang is very poor.”
When Su Ji entered the room, Du Meilan and Xu Mingzhi were chatting on the balcony.
They had their arms crossed and stood in high heels. The content of the conversation was obviously related to their trip to the island. Their expression was normal, but the tone was cold.
Du Meilan saw Su Ji first and smiled at Xu Mingzhi. Xu Mingzhi paused for a moment and quickly walked over to hug her daughter and kiss her cheek. Her tone was calm. “Rest for a few days. Don’t be in a hurry to accept new jobs.”
Su Ji rested her chin on her shoulder. “Alright.”
There was a copy of a document on the table. It was a lawsuit that Du Meilan had submitted to Lychee TV for her son and Su Ji in the name of Blue Whale.
It detailed how the volcanic eruption was artificially induced and the fact that her future daughter-in-law had been thrown into the sea with malicious intent.
Pei Huai flipped to the compensation page and raised his eyebrows at the string of astronomical figures. “The number that Casar is asking has two more zeros than yours.”
Du Meilan ignored his jokes and lifted his injured arm. She rolled up his sleeves forcefully carefully. The wound had recovered a lot, but Du Meilan still frowned. “They can’t afford to pay too much. It will only waste time if it becomes a debt. What I want is exactly the maximum amount they can pay.”
Xu Mingzhi said, “financial compensation is one thing. Criminal responsibility must be pursued.”
The thought of someone trying to harm her daughter made her heart flutter.
Du Meilan nodded.
Su Ji smiled, “don’t worry. We came back to settle the score.”
“Ms. Su Ji!” Pei Xingxing’s hair had grown longer and darker after some time.
He seemed to have become more handsome.
He hugged Su Ji’s legs and raised his small, milky face. “Ms. Zhuzhu didn’t come with you?”
Pei Song pulled his son away by the back of his collar. “Who taught you to be so greedy?”
Pei Huai looked at him. Their gazes met for a moment. Pei Song put his son on the sofa and went to the study on the first floor with Pei Huai.
Pei Xi came out with Bill. She had a little bump on her abdomen. She and Bill were together all day long, like conjoined twins.
She took Su Ji’s hand and looked out of the courtyard warily. “You weren’t followed by the paparazzi when you came, right?”
The news of her sister-in-law and her third brother’s relationship being exposed was still on Weibo. She had been reading gossip every day.
“The paparazzis did not dare to follow us after we crossed the Dujiang Bridge. How about you? How have you been recently?”
The two of them chatted warmly for a while.
Pei Qingshen stayed upstairs for half an hour before coming down. Su Ji greeted him, and Pei Xingxing asked his great-grandfather why he was only coming down now.
Pei Qingshen smiled. “I made sure they cleaned the room nicely for Su Ji and
Madam Xu. ”
Xu Mingzhi put down her teacup. “This is too much trouble for you.”
Pei Qingshen waved his hand. “Listen to me, you can stay here in peace. You may leave when those paparazzis leave.”
Xu Mingzhi couldn’t argue and smiled at Du Meilan in embarrassment.
Du Meilan was happy. She rolled up her sleeves, got up and went to the kitchen. “This is great. Actually, our families should have lived together long ago. It’s more lively with more people. I learned to make a new pastry. It’s my first time making it today. Try it later.”
The group of people stayed in the living room for a while longer. The doorbell rang. Pei Huai came out of the study and happened to pass by and opened the door.
Wang Yi stood at the door, dressed formally. His short hair had been styled, and he had a gift in his hand.
He did not expect Pei Huai to open the door, so he felt a little awkward.
Pei Huai’s lips curled into an evil smile. “Madam Du just made meringue. You’re in luck..”
