A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1595 - 317: Commanding the Spotlight at the Hongmen Banquet (Part 2)
No one doesn’t know how to say pleasing words.
The butler smiled in response: "Then I’ll trouble Miss Ji."
"Steward Hu, what are you talking about? This is what I should do. How is Brother Pei’s health lately?"
"Good, everything is fine."
"The car is waiting outside, Miss Ji, please come with me."
"I’ll go and inform Aunt Zhuang, Steward Hu, please wait a moment." With that, she gave Ah Yun a look, and Ah Yun nodded and turned to leave.
After a while, Ah Yun returned, nodding to Chao Yunya. Yun Ya smiled and stood up, "Steward Hu, let’s go."
"After you, Miss Ji." Steward Hu bowed respectfully.
"Excuse me." Yun Ya smiled slightly and took the lead to walk out.
The car drove all the way to the entrance of the Pei Family Villa, the car door wide open, Yun Ya’s gaze swept indifferently over it.
The villa had a retro style, reminiscent of the 1920s or 30s.
The car door opened, and Steward Hu came to open the door for Yun Ya: "Miss Ji, we’ve arrived."
Yun Ya got out of the car and followed Steward Hu into the living room. Sitting in the main seat on the living room sofa, there was an old man with gray hair, leaning on a cane, with a hunched back, exuding a sort of deathly stillness.
Hearing the footsteps, the elder raised his clouded yet sharp eyes to look over.
The young lady’s appearance was elegant, her demeanor dignified, and she moved gracefully, like a beautiful painting, truly pleasing to the eye.
Pei Yu had seen many beauties in his life, but upon seeing this young lady, he was still struck with awe.
From the first glance at this girl, he was certain, it was impossible for Qinghan not to have anything with her.
"Grandpa Pei, hello." Yun Ya said generously.
On the sofa to Pei Yu’s right, sat a young woman, Yun Ya covertly glanced at her.
Indeed, today was a banquet with ulterior motives.
Pei Yu laughed: "You’re the sister Qinghan acknowledges, calling me grandpa... doesn’t quite fit the seniority."
Yun Ya smiled: "Yes, but I must follow the Yan Family’s seniority, calling you grandpa feels more cordial."
"I fear when Qinghan returns, he’ll be at odds with me."
Yun Ya pursed her lips with a smile, looked at the woman, and said, "Sister Yi, long time no see."
Dongfang Yi sat with her back straight like an elegant swan, and upon hearing this, she replied with a smile, "Sister Yun Ya, it’s been a while, you’ve become even more graceful."
"How could I compare to Sister Yi." In just a few words, the atmosphere was already tense and sharp.
Dongfang Yi curled her lips: "Sister, you’re being modest."
Pei Yu looked at Dongfang Yi, then at Ji Yunya. Overall, Ji Yunya was better, but her family background wasn’t suitable for Qinghan. Dongfang Yi was at least capable of helping Qinghan in the future. Thinking this, he smiled and said, "I thought you young people would have things to talk about, so I invited Miss Dongfang over, and also, she should meet Qinghan..." He ended with an ambiguous smile.
Yun Ya squinted her eyes, so that was the plan, huh... pairing Dongfang Yi with Pei Qinghan? This malicious woman.
The more crucial part is, she needed to understand Pei Qinghan’s thoughts, otherwise, it would be harming him.
Dongfang Yi bashfully lowered her head.
Yun Ya smiled and said, "Grandpa Pei, let me check your pulse."
Pei Yu smiled and nodded: "Alright, let’s go upstairs."
Yun Ya took his pulse, it was a chronic illness, needing slow conditioning. Yun Ya prescribed a remedy and mentioned precautions. Steward Hu received it respectfully: "Miss Ji, your advice is different from other doctors; it seems this time the old gentleman has finally found the right doctor."
Pei Yu glanced at the young lady across, saying: "Miss Ji...."
"Grandpa Pei, just call me Yun Ya." Yun Ya said softly.
"Alright, alright, Yun Ya... I know you have a good relationship with Qinghan, I want to ask you a favor...."
Yun Ya’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, she smiled and said: "Grandpa Pei, you’re speaking too strongly, as long as it’s within my ability, I’ll definitely help."
Pei Yu sighed: "Qinghan is not young anymore, his marriage has always been a thorn in my heart. I think Miss Dongfang is excellent, and I wish to match the two of them. But Qinghan has a stubborn nature, if you have the chance, please persuade him more, consider it a request from your grandpa."
Yun Ya sighed: "Brother Pei has drifted through life, suffering greatly since childhood. I also hope he can settle down and start a family soon. Sister Yi is an outstanding girl, well-matched for Brother Pei, she won’t wrong him."
Pei Yu patted her hand: "What an understanding girl, it’s a pity you are already a part of the Yan Family, otherwise you’d be a perfect match for our Qinghan...." Meanwhile, he found an even greater fondness for this girl. Initially uncomfortable with her closeness to Qinghan, now seeing that the Yan Family treasures her, he acknowledged her merits.
Yun Ya replied with a smile: "Brother Pei and I are only siblings by bond, if Sister Yi heard your words, she might feel uncomfortable."
"You are thoughtful as always, I won’t mention it again."
"Young master." Seeing the man approaching, the maid bowed respectfully.
The man’s posture was tall and graceful, his demeanor gentle, like a comforting spring breeze.
Stepping into the living room, seeing the woman sitting leisurely drinking tea, he frowned deeply.
He turned to leave, as if he couldn’t bear to stay here even for a moment.
"Mr. Pei, do you really not want to see me that much?" Dongfang Yi put down her teacup, speaking with a half-smile.
