Chapter 163: Walking into Pei Yu’s Heart.
Qin Fang kept saying he wouldn’t get married, that he had no interest in it, but at the end of the day, he was just Mr. Xiaoqin, with an elder Mr. Qin holding sway over the bigger picture. An arranged marriage was inevitable; it was just that he himself was unwilling and felt that being seen by others would tarnish the image of Mr. Xiaoqin being a ladies’ man, so the matter of meeting potential brides was kept a secret and conducted quite covertly.
But no matter how covert, Pei Yu, who he complained was wrapped around Shen Zhiyi’s little finger, still found out.
All those present had only just found out about this, and Shen Zhiyi blinked, quite curious.
"You’re going to have an arranged meeting, too?"
He had previously claimed he would remain a bachelor for life.
"Just met with the daughter of Dongyuan Building Materials," Pei Yu was happy to clarify for her, seeing her interest, he added a few more words, "She didn’t fancy him."
"Hey, hey, hey," Qin Fang disagreed, "I don’t fancy her either. She’s neither here nor there, not easy on the eyes. Arranged meetings are one thing, but I never agreed to marriage; just fooling around to appease my dad."
The few of them teased him about his marriage prospects for a bit, with Shen Zhiyi contributing little, as Pei Yu kept piling food onto her plate. The food here really did taste quite good, so she ate more.
When dessert was served after the meal, Shen Zhiyi received a message from an unknown number on her phone—it was Xu Xia, requesting a meeting to talk.
Xu Xia wasn’t foolish; she naturally knew that her dark secrets being exposed was someone’s deliberate act against her, and that person had to be Shen Zhiyi beyond doubt. She requested this meeting to seek peace, because while other scandals could be dismissed with various excuses, her secret affair with Huo Heng was something she couldn’t just brush off unless Shen Zhiyi spoke for her.
Shen Zhiyi sent her an address, telling her to come to her.
