Chapter 26: I took a picture of "Nightingale" as a gift to my partner.

"Brother Pei," the box was silent for a long time before Qin Fang asked with hesitation, "Are you serious?"

If it was just for fun - he almost forgot that Pei Ge'er was different from them, he disdained this kind of fake fun.

Pei Yu said nothing, but just glanced at him, disliking him for talking nonsense.

"Don't roll your eyes at me. How would I know that you suddenly had a woman?" Qin Fang scratched his head curiously, "Who is it?"

After thinking about it, I find it strange. Pei Yu has been working hard to make a living in the family's power struggle since he became an adult. He has not had a chance to breathe. Later, he finally managed to drive his father down from power. He went abroad for "medical treatment". It has only been a short time since he returned to China. He has hardly seen his good friends like them. How could he have the chance to be seduced away by a woman?

He pondered for a moment and said something shocking, "Could it be the housekeeper of your manor——"

Before the last word fell, the wine glass had already been thrown at him. Luckily, he caught it and quickly smiled apologetically, "I was just kidding, just kidding, it's not that I haven't seen other women around you."

Pei Yu was annoyed with him and spat out a few words, barely answering his doubts, "I've known him for a long time."

Have you known each other for a long time?

Qin Fang was surprised, "Earlier than us?"

Pei Yu turned his head away and didn't want to say more.

"Ah."

It's so early?
Qin Fang and Fu Songzhi looked at each other, both a little shocked.

They met and became familiar with Pei Yu after they were fifteen years old. Before that, Pei Yu was the youngest son in the family. In a family like the Pei family, being young does not mean being favored. On the contrary, it means facing the greatest resistance on the road to inheriting the family business. Pei's father had married seven wives in his life, and he said he loved them all, especially Pei Yu's biological mother. Therefore, Pei Yu followed Pei's father since he was a child, and his other brothers and sisters always regarded him as a thorn in their eyes.

Pei's father had a strange attitude towards Pei Yu. On the one hand, he disciplined Pei Yu personally, but on the other hand, he turned a blind eye to the persecution Pei Yu suffered and rarely took him outside until Pei Yu was fifteen years old.

It was also from then on that Pei Yu's ruthless tactics began to take shape, and his status in the family gradually surpassed that of his other brothers and sisters.

"The auction has begun."

Not intending to pry into Pei Yu's life before he was fifteen, Fu Songzhi changed the subject, "Many people came for 'Nightingale'. Do you really want to shoot it?"

It’s not that I think it’s a big deal, it’s just that Pei Yu seldom appears in such occasions, let alone taking pictures of women’s accessories such as jewelry - there are no women in the direct descendants of the Pei family.

Pei Yu said lazily, "It's the only one that looks good."

Others are not qualified.

"Okay," Qin Fang said with a smile, "If Pei Ge'er wants it, then this thing won't fall into the hands of others."

He looked into the distance, "I'll help Pei Ge to guard it."

Sure enough, as soon as the finale came on, Qin Fang started to make offers one after another, suppressing the others in one fell swoop.

The blue diamond pendant is extremely gorgeous and pear-shaped, with more than 150 small diamonds on the chain as a backdrop. The craftsmanship is complicated and rare. The starting price is over million, but even so, there are still many people bidding.

The finale item was not announced to the public, and the spectators in the hall were neither qualified to bid nor to see it. They could only hear the auctioneer slowly introducing the necklace in a British accent, followed by the frequent appearance of several number plates.

Song Ran didn't understand the complicated English content, she just felt curious, "How beautiful is this blue diamond necklace?"

"Beauty comes second, value is what matters."

Men and women have different concerns. Xu Zhouxing listened to the number plate and recognized whose number it was. "It seems that this lot will go to Qin Fang."

After a few rounds of bidding, no one except Qin Fang raised their cards. The auctioneer announced the highest price so far, causing the audience in the hall to gasp in shock. Shen Zhiyi was also surprised that this necklace was worth nearly 800 million.

Xu Zhouxing was shocked. "Who is Qin Fang going to give this necklace to? He is willing to spend so much money on it."

The time he lost money on an investment and was nearly kicked out of the house, it was only 200 million. Sure enough, these people at the top of the pyramid are really extravagant.

As he was muttering, a new number plate suddenly appeared in the auctioneer's mouth.

This time, no one else bid and that person won the prize.

When he heard the number, Xu Zhouxing almost dropped his glass.

That is Pei’s special license plate.

Was it Pei Yu who took the photo of this necklace?
Shen Zhiyi wanted to leave in the first half, but unfortunately people were not allowed to leave midway, so she just watched the whole thing. She was not very curious about who would end up with the "nightingale", but she just felt a little sleepy.

It was already late and it would take a lot of effort to get back to Huating. Walking out on the gorgeous carpet, Shen Zhiyi was absent-mindedly thinking about where to stay tonight.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind the relief column, gently grasped her wrist, and pulled her into his arms with a little force. Before Shen Zhiyi could see the man's face clearly, she could smell the cold incense on his body.

She was startled and her eyes widened, "Pei——"

"Shhh."

His fingertips were pressed against her lips. People were walking out one after another around them. It was not a good place to talk. Pei Yu held her wrist and turned around the corner and entered the VIP exit.

There were also people at the exit. They only caught a glimpse of Pei Yu and a piece of her water-red skirt. They stopped in shock and their thoughts turned several times in an instant.

Someone asked the two people who were most likely to know the truth, "Boss Qin, Boss Fu, Boss Pei, what's going on—"

Qin Fang appeared calm on the surface, but he was more confused than these people. No matter what they asked him, he had no idea.

With a mysterious smile on his face, he patted the man on the shoulder and said, "If you're curious, go ahead and ask."

The man shuddered when he was slapped and smiled bitterly in his heart.

Ask Pei Yu? Then he must have had enough of his good life.

Just a piece of skirt made everyone imagine a lot. Although Qin Fang didn't say it explicitly, he didn't deny it either. So what else couldn't everyone understand?
The young head of the Pei family finally has someone by his side. I guess he took a picture of the "Nightingale" today as a gift to his partner.

For people like them, who have not announced their engagement but have someone hidden around them, the nature of the situation is self-evident. It is very common in the circle, but it is the first time for Pei Yu, so it feels strange.

But no matter how rare it is, you still have to replace it once the novelty wears off, right?
Everyone was thinking and complaining in their hearts, wondering how they could dig out the identity of this young lover. It wasn't just out of curiosity. If they wanted to present a treasure, they had to please the young lover, right?
The elevator door slowly closed. Only Pei Yu could use this place, so there was no need to worry about bumping into other people. Shen Zhiyi ran a few steps while being led by the hand, her breathing was a little hurried. Pei Yu lowered his eyes and hooked her crooked shoulder strap with his fingertips. He said with a hint of laughter, "Are you going to the auction?"

His fingertips were slightly cool, causing a fine and dense itch when they fell on the skin. Shen Zhiyi instinctively shrank his shoulders, said "hmm" softly, and then said, "So you are here too."

"is there anything you like?"

It took her a moment to realize that he was asking her if she had any auction items she liked. She shook her head and smiled, "I'm just going to take a look."

The dinner was over and Shen Zhiyi received a call from Wang Feifei, asking her if she wanted to return to the community.

She looked at Pei Yu inquiringly, and the latter gently moved the phone to her ear and said two words silently.

Hua Ting.
