Chapter 50
Speaking of this, Mrs. Pei felt guilty.

"It's not like I haven't won before. How could I have thought that my luck was so bad? I couldn't get over it, but I still lost a lot of jewelry."

Pei Wei looked complicated and sighed.

"Mom! The betrothal gift given by the Huo family must be at least [-] million, right? It's only been a few months? You have lost it all? If the Huo family doesn't plan to marry Shu Shu and regrets the marriage, how can you pay back such a large sum of money? "

"I don't care. The betrothal gift is mine. Zhou Shu has to marry me no matter what. It won't be easy to raise her up after so many years."

"I finally got some money back. I have to enjoy it." Old Mrs. Pei couldn't listen to anything and only recognized money at the moment.

"Weiwei, you said you are old enough. When are you and Jin Yan going to get married after so many years?"

"Jin Yan takes Yiyao into consideration. If Yiyao refuses, he will definitely not marry me."

Pei Wei was very helpless, with more jealousy in her eyes.

"It's Mrs. Li's eightieth birthday soon. The head of the Li family, Li Zhehan, will definitely come back to celebrate. If you can please Li Zhehan, Jin Yan will marry you no matter what." Mrs. Pei immediately had an idea.

Li Zhehan is Li Jinyan's biological father and the person with the highest say in the entire Li family.As long as he opened his mouth, even Li Jinyan couldn't refuse.

"Li Zhehan likes blue the most. I will arrange the next thing. You behave well and try to impress him."

After all, they were of the same generation, and Mrs. Pei still knew Li Zhehan somewhat.

On the day of the Li family's birthday banquet, Zhou Shu could finally go out.

For her, the most important thing is that she can see Li Jinyan again.

With Pei Xi restraining her like this, she hadn't seen him for more than half a month, and she missed him inexplicably.

The Li family villa is an authentic Chinese-style small Western-style building. The entrance is through a very deep corridor, surrounded by flowers and covered with fresh dew.It is extremely brightly opened, with pools on both sides of the corridor, and the smoke is like a fairyland, with vitality everywhere.

And the Li family's old house was the only bright spot in the dark night.

In the hall, the simple chandelier exudes warm yellow light, which is enough to illuminate every place in the home. The materials throughout the home are antique, and antique jade can be seen everywhere.

It's both low-key and luxurious, and you can see at a glance how strong the Li family's financial resources are.

Mrs. Li's birthday banquet was very grand. Many guests came and the whole old house was very lively.

Zhou Shu and Pei Xi arrived late, and Pei Xi specially chose a conservative black and white dress for her, which was not as flamboyant as before.

Huo Yi had been here a long time ago, constantly searching for traces of Zhou Shu in the crowd. The moment he saw it, he immediately rushed over.

"Baby Shushu, I thought I wouldn't see you again today. I just told Brother Chuan about you,"

Zhou Shu's attitude was cold, and Huo Yi felt it. He asked Li Shichuan to drink with him when he had nothing to do.

Zhou Shu glanced at Huo Yi, who was always out of shape, and then at Li Shichuan, who was not far away: "Did you say something bad?"

Judging from Li Shichuan's appearance, he should be recovering well. I heard he had been hospitalized for more than a month, and he didn't look that weak.

The Li family is rich and will not be stingy in this regard. However, since he has been cultivating for so long, the crew must have delayed it.

Li Shichuan walked over unhurriedly, with handsome eyebrows and slightly hooked lips, and said half-jokingly: "If you say you have no conscience, your savior won't even look at you."

Zhou Shu hummed: "Looking at you standing here properly, there is nothing good for me to see."

Li Shichuan looked at her arrogant look and smiled helplessly.

Her mouth has always been very poisonous, and she can always drive people to death.

At the same time, Huo Yunling was finally able to get away from Huo Jingtong, and she walked straight to Zhou Shu.

"Shu Shu."

Zhou Shu hadn't seen Huo Yunling for a long time. She hadn't gone out for such a long time.

Huo Yunling stared at her, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

"I haven't been in a good mood lately." Zhou Shu said calmly.

Huo Yi couldn't help but please: "Shu Shu, baby, why don't you come to me? I will definitely make you happy!"

Zhou Shu was silent.

"That's the head of the Li family, right?" "Yes, he looks majestic. I don't dare to look directly at him."

"Obviously Second Master Li is not that fierce. Why does Patriarch Li look so fierce?"

As soon as Li Zhehan appeared, the whole audience was instantly calmed.

It is no exaggeration to say that the former head of the entire capital has no less aura than he did back then.

In the crowd, everyone bowed their heads.

Only Zhou Shu raised his eyes without scruples, and happened to meet Li Zhehan's gaze looking down.

This was also the first time she saw Li Jinyan's biological father. The man was over fifty and there were no traces of time on his face. His sharp and cold features made him look like another Li Jinyan.

However, his biological father's eyebrows are sharper, perhaps because of his experience, and he is full of majesty.

It gave people a strong sense of oppression. In addition, his face had no expression, making it impossible to see through his mood.

Also appearing with Li Zhehan was Chu Yunting, his youngest son and an illegitimate son who has not yet been able to join the family tree. Not many people knew about it.

Back then, Li Zhehan had asked the woman outside to give birth to a child, but the child could only be a girl.

He was also afraid that there would be some bloody drama over family property in the future, but no one expected that Chu Yunting had no idea about the Li family's property.

Not only that, he also listened to Li Jinyan's words and respected him very much.

Who knows how sincere his respect is. After all these years, is he really not jealous of Li Jinyan at all?
Huo Yi was a little curious and lowered his voice and said to the two people around him: "Uncle Chu hasn't been in love for so many years. Could it be that he doesn't like women?"

Subconsciously, Zhou Shu also looked at Chu Yunting.

She also just realized that Chu Yunting was a man, and it was the first time she looked at him like this.

Chu Yunting was a real man, but he was more beautiful than the women she had seen, which was really rare.

Pei Wei hugged Li Jinyan and calmly followed Li Jinyan up to greet him.

"Hello Uncle Li, my name is Pei Wei, and I am Jin Yan's girlfriend."

"Are you the eldest lady of the Pei family?" Li Zhehan looked at her with eyes that were still full of intimidation.

He has not been in the capital for so many years, so it is normal that he does not know some juniors.

Pei Wei was somewhat restrained: "Yes."

However, Li Zhehan frowned and his eyes were full of displeasure.

He looked at Li Jinyan again and said coldly: "Jin Yan, why didn't you get married for so long just because of this woman?"

His words were merciless and he completely looked down upon Li Jinyan.

Who would have thought that Li Zhehan would suddenly attack Pei Wei, his future daughter-in-law.

In a corner outside, the moonlight slanted down, the surroundings were quiet, and the sound of the lighter seemed particularly clear.

Li Jinyan stood in the darkness and lit a cigarette carelessly, and the scarlet firelight hit his face.

Only a figure could be seen in the darkness, and the rest could not be seen clearly.

Zhou Shu noticed that he had escaped a long time ago, so he followed him and found him, which took a lot of effort.

The man is tall, his handmade suit fits his figure, and he looks noble.

Zhou Shu quietly approached and hugged his waist from behind.

"Uncle Li, don't you like the suit I gave you? Are you afraid that auntie will know?"

The last time they celebrated their birthday together, Zhou Shu not only gave herself to him as a gift, but also ordered someone to order a high-end suit.

She hangs out with Li Jinyan every day, so she naturally knows what size he is.

Li Jinyan lowered his eyes and smoked, surrounded by smoke. The smell of cigarettes was pungent and choking: "Let go!"
