Chapter 493 - 493: Thank Your Brother
An hour later, in the private hall.
Before Pei Huai entered the venue, he sent a WeChat message to Su Ji. Su Ji read it and did not reply.
After waiting for a few minutes, Pei Huai sent another message.
[ “My wound hurts a little because I forgot to apply medicine yesterday.” ]
This time, Su Ji replied very quickly.
[ “If your wound opens up, I’ll kill you.” ]
Pei Huai stood at the entrance and laughed softly at his phone. The young ladies who entered and exited the hall turned their heads, fascinated by his looks.
That’s his Su Ji alright.
Xu Mingzhi happened to bump into Pei Shizhan outside the hall.
“Mr. Pei.”
Pei Shizhan nodded and shook hands with her politely. “I heard that you came here for work. Is everything going well? If there’s any trouble, contact me at any time.”
Xu Mingzhi smiled appropriately. “Your son has solved all the problems.”
Pei Shizhan took the opportunity to ask, “where is he?” Xu Mingzhi raised her chin. “He arrived early. He should be inside already.” Pei Shizhan smiled gently. “Then let’s go in too…”
Although it was a private hall, the venue was decorated exquisitely.
Continent M was a place where the rich gathered and where the consumption level was extremely high. One could imagine how luxurious such an occasion was.
The guests toasted in twos and threes, joking around with each other.
The tall middle-aged man was surrounded by many guests. He had European features, very fair skin, short light blond hair, and a gentleman’s beard. The medal on his shoulder was dazzling.
When he saw his wife and daughter from afar, he said a few words to the people around him and walked over to them.
“Dad,” Anna called out timidly.
The duke stopped in front of her and raised his chin slightly. His entire body exuded the aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time. He spoke with authority but without anger, “I thought you would have to wait for me. I didn’t expect that I, who had been in a meeting the whole day, would be the first to arrive. Anna, is it because of you again…”
He knew that his daughter did things very slowly.
With such a personality, he wondered if the person in mind would like her.
Moreover, there was also the news.
Miyazawa Rei’s red lips curled up. “It has nothing to do with Anna. I was the one who delayed her.”
With one sentence, the tense atmosphere was resolved. The woman was at ease. She hugged her husband and kissed his cheek elegantly. The duke’s expression softened. “You spoiled her.”
Miyazawa Rei smiled. “A daughter should be pampered.”
The duke glanced behind them and asked, “where is our son?”
With the duke’s status, it was difficult enough to marry him with a son.
However, not only did Miyazawa Rei manage to do it, she also made the duke extremely satisfied with her son in just a few years. He addressed him as “our son” in public. Moreover, Miyazawa Rei treated his daughter as her own, so the duke did not play favoritism. Recently, he even used his connections to help him obtain a noble title.
As soon as the duke finished speaking, he saw the tall, thin, and handsome figure.
Miyazawa Rei revealed a smile. “Speaking of the devil…”
The waiter led a handsome man in.
“Mom, dad, Anna, I’ve been dealing with some work matters. Sorry to make you wait.” The man smiled. He had inherited his mother’s devilish beauty.
Miyazawa Ta was obedient and sensible in front of his mother and stepfather, but when his gaze swept past Anna, who had her head lowered, there was a different look on his face.
Sunlight poured into the venue through the French windows. Half of his face was bathed in the sunlight, and his smile was warm. The other half of his face in the shadows revealed a mysterious look.
With his filial and gentle personality, coupled with his unique appearance, Miyazawa Rei looked at her son proudly.
Miyazawa Rei had never mentioned his father. Her son was her masterpiece.
The duke smiled. “Let’s sit over there. Tell me about today’s work…”
“Yes,” Miyazawa Ta took his seat. He sat between his mother and Anna.
Anna was very cautious.
The waiter served them drinks and delicacies.
After he sat down, he looked in Anna’s direction. Then, for some reason, he suddenly leaned over and extended his arm.
Anna, who had her head lowered, suddenly froze. However, just as she was about to stand up and leave because she couldn’t stand it anymore, he picked up the glass in front of her and looked at the waiter. “My sister’s glass is stained. Please clean and disinfect it.”
The waiter was very respectful. “I’m very sorry. I’ll change it for you immediately.”
Looking at the siblings who seemed to have a good relationship, the duke nodded in satisfaction. “Anna, thank your brother.”
Anna pinched her right wrist with her left hand and pursed her lips tightly.
“Anna.”
Anna forced herself to say it. “Thanks, Ta.”
Miyazawa Ta smiled. “You’re welcome.”
Looking at her son, Miyazawa Rei was in a good mood.
The duke went to the balcony to take a call. As soon as he went out, Anna left the room on the pretext of going to the bathroom.
Only Miyazawa Rei and Miyazawa Ta were left in the room.
Miyazawa Rei looked at her son, “son, you are now the son of a duke, and soon, you will be conferred the title of the earl. Your future wife must have a background that is compatible with you. So, whoever she is, you must cut ties as soon as possible.”
Miyazawa Ta smiled innocently. “Mom, who did you hear this from again? That’s all fake. I have a beautiful mother like you. How could I possibly like female celebrities?”
Miyazawa Rei smiled noncommittally. “In any case, be careful.”
He was very different from his father. Because of his appearance and attractive personality, he had been popular with women since he was young.
As far as Miyazawa Rei knew, he had been involved with female celebrities in the entertainment industry since high school.
Miyazawa Rei had always turned a blind eye to this. Fortunately, her son was just fooling around and wouldn’t do anything out of line, so she didn’t have to worry about him.
At the same time, Anna came out of the bathroom and was hesitating in the corridor, not wanting to go back to the room. Suddenly, she saw something from the corner of her eye. She froze on the spot for a few seconds and suddenly turned to look.
Outside the corridor, not far from her, Pei Huai stood there with one hand in his pocket and the other casually holding a wine glass. There was also a very beautiful Asian woman beside him.
The woman looked familiar.
Pei Huai was currently discussing something with a few important officials. He was at ease, and a faint smile hung on his lips.
He stood there like a realistic painting with a beautiful frame.
Anna recognized him almost immediately..
