Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Pei Jue Confesses in Public? Chapter 45: Chapter 45 Pei Jue Confesses in Public? Shen Boyi thought for a moment.
If this video was real, and his sister liked someone else, then if this person was brought into the Shen Family in the future, wouldn’t Qingwu never leave the Shen Family for her entire life?!
As for Pei Jue, the Pei family, being a prominent family in Beijing and even worldwide, surely had their own disputes.
If his sister truly married over there in the future, they might not even have much time to meet!
Shen Boyi restrained his brother and sister, who were about to lose their temper.
He looked at Qingwu with a gentle face, “Qingwu, do you like this person? You don’t need to feel troubled, in our family, as long as you like them, it doesn’t matter who they are! If you don’t like them, we won’t want an affluent family; if you do like them, it doesn’t matter if they drive for DiDi!”
Qingwu was speechless.
Pei Jue’s eyes shone instantly as he looked at Qingwu with anticipation!
“It’s not about liking or not liking, we’re just friends.”
Shen Boyi nodded, “Being friends is good too, there’s always room for development in the future.”
“President Pei, since our Qingwu has someone she likes, I think your engagement can be reconsidered. After all, I assume you wouldn’t like this kind of engagement set by the older generation either. Young people should marry for love.”
Pei Jue’s face was adorned with a smile as radiant as the morning sun.
“I think so too, so Qingwu and I are in love. The person driving the car in this video was me.”
The four brothers of the Shen Family were speechless.
Shen Dongli exclaimed, “!!!”
What did you say?
This car wasn’t even worth a fraction of a button on Pei Jue’s clothing, and he claimed that the driver was him?!
Shen Shaojia was stunned. He had seen people embellishing themselves, but never seen anyone putting a cuckold cap on themselves…
Pei Jue turned around, walked to the large screen, and looked exceptionally striking in his well-fitted suit.
He connected his phone to the large screen and quickly pulled up a video from his phone.
It was from the driver’s perspective, capturing a video of Qingwu standing by the road waiting for a car. It was only two or three seconds long but had everything necessary.
“I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect that someone would capture this video of me and Qingwu. It was just a joke between us, and I hope everyone will grace us with their presence at our wedding banquet in the future.”
Everyone was shocked!
Who would have thought that the person driving this worn-out car was Pei Jue!
“Don’t say that, this car actually looks pretty trendy. I’ll go get one too.”
“President Pei and Lady Shen have such a good relationship that it seems like he picks her up from work almost every day!”
The Shen Family looked bewildered.
Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun were almost crying with joy!
It turned out that all this time, it had been Pei Jue picking up and dropping off their daughter, even choosing such a shabby… vintage car to keep a low profile, how sentimental!
It seemed that Pei Jue was quite satisfied with their daughter, and their precious daughter didn’t seem to be without feelings for Pei Jue either. Look at that smile every time she got in the car, it was just like them when they were in a relationship…
Shen Jishi said discontentedly, “President Pei, you just drive such a crappy car to pick up my sister? Are you looking down on our Shen Family?”
Pei Jue replied politely, “How dare I, it’s just that when Qingwu and I first met, she picked this car, so I thought she liked the brand. As a gift, I’ve bought the entire auto brand for Qingwu.”
The expression on Shen Jishi’s face improved considerably.
Since it was his sister’s choice, there must be nothing wrong!
Qingwu looked at Pei Jue, her expression somewhat complicated.
“When did you shoot this video?”
“I sensed someone around recording, so I took this video in advance just in case, and of course, I also wanted to capture you.”
Qingwu was speechless.
The assassin’s sensitivity to the surrounding environment was real, but what did the second half of that sentence mean?
Shen Dongli watched them get along so well and beamed happily.
“President Pei, Qingwu, since you’re both here, how about an opening dance? The first dance at Qingwu’s birthday party, with President Pei accompanying her, would be perfect!”
They were originally planning to have the four brothers of the Shen Family take turns dancing with Qingwu.
Now that Pei Jue was here, and since the two of them still had an engagement, indeed, he was the best choice!
Pei Jue had a slight searing heat in his gaze, as he bent slightly and extended his hand to Qingwu.
“May I invite you to the first dance, fiancée?”
“…”
According to etiquette, the first dance couldn’t be refused, and seeing the expectant looks from the Shen Family couple and Pei Jue’s deep eyes, Qingwu had no choice but to agree.
“Okay.”
A romantic waltz sounded, with the concertmaster of the top royal orchestra playing his violin, and a piano tune filling the room as it flowed across the elegant skirts and graced the venue.
Pei Jue held Qingwu’s slender waist, and together they gracefully waltzed across the dance floor.
“You look very beautiful today, fiancée.”
Qingwu was speechless.
She did have her own name; why was he always calling her fiancée?
Was it revenge for Shen Boyi’s suggestion to withdraw the engagement? She didn’t know he could be so petty!
The handsome man was tall and imposing, while the girl in his arms was petite and beautiful. Their dance steps were perfectly synchronized and filled everyone’s hearts with amazement!
It was truly perfect!
This opening dance could be directly placed in an etiquette textbook!
As expected from the daughter of the Shen Family and the head of the Pei Family, they were simply elegant!
Shen Yurou bit her handkerchief, watching the pair dancing in the center of the floor, feeling so envious she could explode with resentment.
The person who should have danced with Pei Jue was supposed to be her!
She had specifically worn her favorite dress today to stand out at the banquet, to outshine everyone… But her prepared video was not only useless, but it was also admitted by Pei Jue!
Shen Yurou turned to the maid beside her.
“What do you say now? Brother Pei is dancing the opening dance with that woman, and I’m just a joke, boohoo!”
She wore such a beautiful dress, yet no one invited her to dance!
Even Shen Dongli didn’t acknowledge her existence!
The maid was nonchalant, comforting her, “Miss Yurou, being in the spotlight now doesn’t mean you will always be. The higher you climb, the harder you fall. When President Shen realizes that you are the best daughter of the Shen Family, the limelight will definitely be greater than now. After all, Miss Qingwu isn’t even listed in the family register yet…”
Family register!
To be registered in the Shen family’s genealogy, Elder Shen and Mrs. Shen both had to agree!
Given Mrs. Shen’s current attitude toward Qingwu, it was certainly impossible for her to be registered in the genealogy; as long as she wasn’t registered for one day, there was still a chance…
“You’re right, but now Brother Pei treats her so well, what chance do I have!”
“President Pei has just met Miss Qingwu; he hasn’t seen a girl from such a poor family before, and it’s all for appearances… It’s all just for show. In my view, Miss Yurou still has a chance!”
Shen Yurou watched Qingwu and Pei Jue finish the first dance in the dance floor.
Pei Jue was bending down to kiss Qingwu’s hand!
Though this was an indispensable part of aristocratic etiquette, Shen Yurou was still wildly jealous!
As the dance came to an end, servants ran in a row, lined up in front of the Shen Family.
“President Shen, Madam, this is the gift for Lady Shen from Chief Mu Chan, a Tang Dynasty painting.”
Everyone was shocked.
Chief Mu Chan, wasn’t he the previous leader?!
“President Shen, Madam, the elder Hai Xin has gifted Lady Shen a pair of agate bracelets.”
Hai Xin, the gambling stone king of the older generation in Hua Country, now practically all the stone gambling and maritime trade industries were under his name!
Lady Shen actually had such connections?
“President Shen, Madam, Mr. Shi Yujiang has gifted Lady Shen a Wei and Jin Dynasties ancient zither.”
Shi Yujiang, contemporary grand scholar of the ancient zither, a world-class authority on ancient zither, he authored the textbooks on ancient zither!
…
“President Shen, Madam, Chief Shen has gifted Lady Shen an LC-5 helicopter!”
Everyone was astounded again.
Isn’t this the latest model of hybrid car-helicopter? There’s only one in the world!
The Shen Family’s elder was just so doting on this granddaughter. If they could curry favor with Lady Shen, there would be no worries about collaborations with the Shen Family in the future…
Shen Dongli was also dazed seeing the heap of gifts in front of him.
These super bigwigs, he didn’t even have the nerve to send invitations to, after all, it was just a junior’s birthday, how could he have the nerve to send out invites…
“Qingwu, are these all masters you know?”
Qingwu looked at the pile of gifts her masters sent, feeling somewhat speechless. Given the level of her masters, they should have figured out she was a daughter of the Shen Family the first day she came home.
Qingwu shook her head, “They should be grandfather’s friends.”
“Ah, then it must be that your grandfather wanted to surprise you, then everything is fine! Who knew your grandfather was so attentive, truly the older, the wiser!”
