Chapter 214 If We Had Been Together Already②
At the end of August, it was Qin Fang's birthday, and a banquet was held in the Qin family's townhouse. Regardless of whether he was liked by his biological father or not, he was nominally the only Qin young master, so the birthday party was grand enough and many business partners who had dealings with the Qin family were invited.

In the evening, two Rolls-Royces with consecutive numbers drove into the underground garage. The first one was the most conspicuous and many people recognized it.

"The young master of the Pei family is here," someone whispered.

The Pei family has many children, but only one has been paid attention to recently. Pei's father often brings this young master with him when he discusses business, and it is obvious that he wants to train him with great care. It is unknown how much Pei's huge family fortune can give him. Everyone has already made up their minds, but this young master is not easy to please, and only a few people have been able to be on good terms with him over the years.

The car door opened and Pei Yu got out. As he was attending a banquet, he was dressed formally in a well-tailored white suit. His broad shoulders and long legs were particularly eye-catching. He was tall and slender, and had the unrestrained and flamboyant manner of a young man, but he also began to show some unusual steadiness and solemnity.

He usually had a cold face without much expression. His finely carved eyebrows and eyes seemed covered with frost, which made it impossible for people who wanted to approach him and talk to him to move.

A tall boy in a black suit got out of the car behind. It was Fu Songzhi. He was gentler than Pei Yu, but not easy to get along with. He took a few quick steps to catch up with Pei Yu and put his arm loosely on his shoulder.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood today?"

It was also common that Pei Yu was always in a bad mood, most of which were related to things at home. Pei's father valued him but trusted him little, let alone being close to him. What's more, none of his brothers and sisters were good people.

Pei Yu hummed softly and said briefly, "He wants me to study abroad."

It was common for children from wealthy families to study abroad, but Pei Yu's situation was different. His older brothers and sisters had already gotten involved in Pei's business, and transferring him out when he was growing up was clearly not a good intention.

Fu Songzhi raised his eyebrows, "Actually, you can go. You can be more relaxed when you are abroad. Otherwise, you will be too slow to do things if you are being watched."

Everyone else thought that the youngest son of the Pei family was still in school and was not yet fully grown. Even if he was trained with emphasis, he would still be a little short of maturity. However, he and Qin Fang knew clearly what Pei Yu was preparing behind the backs of the Pei family. He was a decisive and ruthless person who would not pin his hopes on others. He would get what he wanted by himself, and would not accept any less.

Pei Yu lowered his eyes lazily, "No."

There is no room for negotiation at all.

Although Fu Songzhi didn't understand why he was so determined, he stopped talking.

The villa's banquet hall, which was connected to the huge courtyard, had been decorated. Because it was Young Master Qin's birthday party, everyone who came brought their children with them. Looking around, most of the people were young people.

"Brother Pei! Song Zhi!" Qin Fang ran over when he saw them and put down his wine glass casually, "Finally you are here, I was looking for you."

The three of them found a table. The boys were all tall and slender with outstanding looks. Standing together, they were even more eye-catching. Everyone wanted to talk to them, but they knew that Pei Yu didn't like to be with strangers, so they hesitated and didn't dare to get close.

After a while, Qin Xiaoran also came.

She skipped a grade last year and entered high school this year. She is shorter than her peers and very lively. "Brother Pei Yu, Brother Song Zhi."

As soon as she came, the topic went off topic. "Let me tell you, Uncle Shen's family adopted a daughter. I just met her and she doesn't seem easy to get along with."

Pei Yu lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and looked at the wine glass beside him.

"Adopt a daughter?" Qin Fang was confused. "His son is getting married soon. Is he adopting a daughter at this time? Is he just raising a child for fun?"

"Not a child," Qin Xiaoran said, "about my age."

This time even Fu Songzhi was surprised and asked, "What's going on?"

"Let's go and take a look?" Qin Xiaoran suggested.

The two looked at Pei Yu, "Brother Pei, do you want to go take a look?"

Pei Yu raised his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Whatever."

"Let's go," Qin Fang walked in front, "I'm really curious."

The courtyard where the banquet was arranged was very large, planted with roses. It was the first time Shen Zhiyi had seen such beautiful flowers, and her eyes lingered on them for a while. She sat alone at an empty table, a stranger here, so many people cast veiled glances at her, making her somewhat at a loss. Thinking about it now, the two months after being adopted were like a dream. She didn't expect the family that adopted her to be so wealthy. This was a life she couldn't imagine at all. Out of caution and confusion, she hardly said anything these days.

"Hello," a girl spoke to her.

Shen Zhiyi raised his eyes and nodded politely, "Hello."

"I heard that you are Uncle Shen's adopted daughter," the girl said innocently, "Did you grow up in an orphanage?"

"No," Shen Zhiyi paused, "I have parents."

"Is that so?" The girl smiled. "Then why were you adopted? You are already so old...what are the benefits of Uncle Shen raising you?"

This was something Shen Zhiyi didn't understand, but she didn't want to talk to outsiders, especially since this girl didn't seem to have any ill intentions.

Her eyes were clear and she looked at the other person quietly.

"Boring," the girl felt uninterested, shook her head and left.

This scene was seen by Qin Fang and others.

"It's quite pretty," Qin Fang looked at it with great interest, and sought approval from others, "Brother Pei, what do you think?"

I thought he wouldn't respond, but Pei Yu actually spoke.

"Too thin." He said casually.

Qin Fang was at a loss: "Thin? I think a little bit."

Only Fu Songzhi looked at Pei Yu in surprise.

"No one wants to play with her," Qin Xiaoran said, "It's a bit pitiful."

Qin Fang pushed her and said, "Go ahead. Don't you like making friends?"

"I'm so embarrassed," Qin Xiaoran stamped his feet, "You stay with me!"

Qin Fang was unmoved. "I'm with Pei Ge'er, so I don't have time."

Qin Xiaoran pouted and was about to scold him when she saw Pei Yu suddenly take a step forward.

She reacted and was flattered, "Brother Pei Yu is so pampering to me today."

Shen Zhiyi didn't feel lonely. She was studying the glass of wine in front of her. Her understanding of wine was the same as the wine her alcoholic father drank, but the wine in front of her was obviously different. She smelled a little bit of wine and hesitated for a long time, but still slowly brought the glass to her lips, wanting to taste it.

A bony hand suddenly reached out and snatched the glass of wine.

"Huh?" she exclaimed softly, and then saw the boy standing next to her.

He lowered his handsome eyebrows, his eyes were dark, and under his high nose were thin and beautiful lips. He just looked at her coldly and indifferently without saying a word, as if he was waiting for something.

Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, looked into his eyes, and said hesitantly, "Pei... Pei Yu?"

She still remembered his eyes.

Pei Yu pursed his lips and said "hmm".
