410 Master Pei Chose Su Ji Instead of His Son
Ever since the incident in XBY, Xu Mingzhi could not forget about Pei Huai’s “mosquito bite”.
Meanwhile, in the Pei Corporation…
On the first floor, in the VIP waiting room where Su Ji and the others were waiting last time, a short-haired woman was sipping coffee. She was dressed fashionably and business-like, and a branded handbag was placed beside her. She looked like she came from a powerful background.
The sound of high heels could be heard from the corridor outside the door. The short-haired woman looked in the direction of the sound. When another figure appeared at the door, the short-haired woman said in surprise, “Mei Lan! Here!”
The sound of high-heels in the corridor stopped. Du Meilan turned around. “Henna, I didn’t notice you! Let’s go upstairs and talk.”
The short-haired woman agreed. She put down her coffee cup and stood up with her bag.
The two of them were obviously familiar with each other.
They were about to discuss business.
The two women walked in front and their a.s.sistants followed behind them.
Looking at the two women separately, their auras were so powerful that they seemed to be unable to blend in with anyone else. However, when they stood together, they were chatting and laughing in a harmonious manner.
The two of them walked out of the hall and headed straight for the VIP elevator.
“Aunt Du.”
The girl’s pleasant voice came from the direction of the door.
Du Meilan turned around when she heard the voice. The moment she saw Su Ji, her smile widened.
“Su Ji? Why are you here?”
Henna looked at Su Ji and then at her friend. Although she was puzzled, she followed her to Su Ji’s side.
Su Ji also took a few quick steps forward.
At this moment, many staff members around them had already noticed them.
The employees of the Pei Corporation had basically seen Su Ji and Du Meilan before, but today they saw the two of them at the same time!
Moreover, Madam Du had an important guest!
They knew that CEO Pei doted on Ms. Su, but what about Madam Du?
Future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law…
The employees didn’t dare to talk about it, but they secretly glanced at them.
Immediately after, Du Meilan walked up to Su Ji and hugged her close. She then introduced her to Henna as if she was introducing her favorite child. “Su Ji, my youngest son’s girlfriend.”
At this moment, the employees thought that they had watched too much drama.
Soon, they scattered in all directions.
Du Meilan then pointed at Henna, “Henna, my good friend. She’s also the Brand Operations Director of SK.”
Pei Xi had once helped Su Ji secure a gown sponsorship from SK. Bill was also the global spokesperson for their men’s wear.
Su Ji shook hands with her politely.
Henna replied with a smile. At the same time, she sized Su Ji up. In just a few seconds, she seemed to have understood many things. “Su Ji, I do know you. You’re the one with the most potential among the newcomers in the entertainment industry last year.”
Su Ji responded appropriately.
Du Meilan saw the thing in Su Ji’s hand. “You’re here for me? I have to talk to Henna about something in about 40 minutes. Let’s take the elevator together. Pei Huai is in the office. You go to him first. I’ll tell you when I’m done, okay?”
She spoke elegantly.
Su Ji replied, “no problem. You guys go ahead. I’m not in a hurry.”
Henna teased them, “I’m sorry for disturbing your meeting.”
As the Brand Operations Director of SK, Henna was a fashionable devil that even Pei Xi rarely saw.
But now, in front of Su Ji, she was like a friendly aunt who lived next door.
“You are teasing me.”
The three of them entered the elevator. Su Ji pressed the b.u.t.tons for them.
As the elevator went up, she heard the two people behind her conversing in a foreign language.
It was not that they wanted to hide anything from Su Ji. The two of them had known each other when they were abroad and were used to speaking in that language.
When the elevator arrived, Du Meilan smiled and patted Su Ji’s shoulder, indicating that they would leave first.
Su Ji nodded.
Henna said casually, “oh right, Meilan, why did you suddenly think of returning to China? Would Mr. Pei be worried?”
The moment the elevator door closed again, Su Ji heard Du Meilan say lightly, “what’s there to worry about? We’re getting a divorce.”
Henna: “what???”
Later, when Su Ji came out of the elevator on the top floor, she happened to see Shen Mu opening the door for his CEO in the corridor. He seemed to be going somewhere..
When Pei Huai saw Su Ji, he paused for a moment, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
Shen Mu didn’t wait for the CEO to speak and responded quickly, “I’ll inform CEO Qiu to wait for a while.”
With that, he disappeared.
Su Ji walked up and explained to Pei Huai.
She came to see Du Meilan, but Du Meilan was not free at the moment, so she would be in his office for 40 minutes.
Pei Huai raised his eyebrows slightly. “Madam Du is quite nice to me. ”
Su Ji shook the thermos. “You can try this first. My…”
“You made it?”
“…mom made it herself,” Su Ji said.
Pei Huai nodded, took the thermos, and brought her into his office. “Then I have to try it. ”
Su Ji: “…”
Why did Pei Huai feel a little relieved when he heard that it was her mother who made it?
Su Ji helped him open the lunchbox. Pei Huai said he would do it himself, but she stopped him.
Then, Pei Huai realized she even helped him take out the amount he could eat and re-plate the rest.
She took out five pieces of the steamed meat that was neatly arranged. The rest was evenly arranged so that it would not be obvious that it had been touched.
There was a piece of egg pancake that had been cut into a few pieces. She took out a piece from the top, bottom, left, and right, and the original round egg pancake now looked like a flower.
Pei Huai realized what’s going on.
He was secretly tasting it…
“It was good.”
“Actually, she doesn’t know how to cook many dishes, but she said that as a mother, she should have a few specialty dishes so that her daughter knows what home cooking tastes like.”
Pei Huai smiled gently.
Then, she heard Su Ji say, “I have one too. It’ll be what home cooking tastes like for my son.”
Pei Huai: “…”
After hesitating for a second, he chose Su Ji instead of his future son.
He said, “he will definitely like it…”
Later on, Pei Huai realized that Madam Du was really just making him look after Su Ji while she was busy. Once the 40 minutes were up, her a.s.sistant immediately came to get her.
