Chapter 855: Ms. Xu’s Judgment was Wrong!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Ji would definitely not sign it just like that.

After she took it over, she opened it to take a look.

Looking at the lines of text, the girl’s eyelashes were quietly drooping, and the outline of her side profile was extremely beautiful.

After flipping through two pages, she looked up at Pei Huai, and Pei Huai looked back at her.

“What’s with these two masters’ expressions?”

“I don’t understand either!”

“What does it say? Is Su Ji satisfied?”

The reporters on the third floor were discussing animatedly. They turned on their flashlights and took pictures of the two people’s expressions in the close-up cameras, gossiping about things that had nothing to do with them.

“How can one be satisfied with signing this kind of thing? With Ms. Su Ji’s bad temper, it is only because she is in public that she did not tear the agreement up on the spot…Aiya, I suddenly know why CEO Pei invited so many media outlets to attend the ceremony!”

Suddenly, someone shouted in surprise.

The others looked at him at the same time.

Why? Why?”

That person shook his head and was speechless. “What if CEO Pei is on the Forbes rankings? This move is too ruthless! Su Ji knew that so many media outlets were filming there. Now that she saw the agreement, no matter how reluctant she was, she couldn’t show it. In the end, for the sake of her face, she had to swallow her pride and sign it.”

Hearing his analysis, the people around him looked at each other with narrowed eyes. A few seconds later, they all had expressions of realization.

So it is like this!

Actually, it wasn’t just the reporters that were discussing this. The others were also discussing this.

However, the volume of the discussions was different.

Looking at the guests around her whispering to each other, Nan Miaomiao asked Lu Shang, “what kind of document is that? Why do they all have such expressions?”

Lu Shang regained his composure. “It’s a prenuptial agreement.”

The Xu family was sitting at the next table. Lu Ailian’s exaggerated “haiyo” attracted the attention of many people.

“I didn’t expect to see such a scene today. CEO Pei is really not giving Su Ji any face.”

Xu Jinzhe lifted his chin and told her to stop talking.

Although signing this kind of thing was tacitly understood by the elites, signing it in front of everyone would make the woman feel more or less embarrassed.

Seeing that her son was not cooperating, Lu Ailian turned to the other side and chatted with her friends from the Calligraphy Association. “Isn’t Guihua always angry at us and saying how good her grandson-in-law is to her granddaughter in front of us?”

This time, the gossip received a response.

“That’s right. In the end, he is still wary of her, isn’t he?”

“In the future, if Su Ji wants to be the Young Madam of the Pei family, she has to be careful and do everything to satisfy the Pei family. If they are not satisfied one day, they will…”

“Pa!” A sound rang out.

Xu Ni placed the bowl and chopsticks back on the table.

The few old ladies who were chatting happily stopped at the same time and looked over.

“You wretched girl, what are you doing?! Do you want everyone to hear us?”

Xu Nits expression was cold. “You dare to say it but don’t dare to admit it? Are you afraid that others will hear you?”

The surrounding people blushed in shame.

Lu Ailian felt embarrassed. “You did it on purpose, didn’t you?”

Unexpectedly, Xu Ni was about to get up. “Security!”

Lu Ailian quickly covered her mouth and pushed her back. “Alright, alright, we won’t talk about it anymore! I really don’t know what sins I, Lu Ailian, have committed in my previous life!”

Xu Ni sat back down coldly. Normally, it didn’t matter how Lu Ailian rebuked her, but if she wanted to gossip about her friend, then don’t blame her for turning hostile.

Lu Ailian knew that this granddaughter of hers was stubborn, so she didn’t say anything else and focused on the stage.

The document was very thick. Su Ji only read the first few pages and did not read any more. She closed the contract.

“Recently, there have been rumors about this being a shotgun marriage.” Pei Huai turned to face the guests and said calmly, “I hereby clarify that Su Ji and I are not shotgun married. The signing of this agreement is on the premise that she is not pregnant. In the future, no matter what, this agreement will not change and will always be in effect.”

Su Ji raised her eyes to look at him. The pen, which had already taken off its cap, spun in her hand again because of what he had just said. His words successfully triggered a new round of heated discussions.

With that, Pei Huai’s gaze fell on Su Ji. “Just sign it.”

“Don’t sign it!” Zhang Guihua anxiously leaned on her walking stick. Although she knew that she couldn’t hear them on stage, she couldn’t help but say, “my dear granddaughter, we can’t sign such an unfair treaty!”

Xu Mingzhi shot a sharp gaze at Su Cunyi.

Su Cunyi expressed his acknowledgement. “Mom, don’t be like this.” With that, he nodded apologetically at the others at the table.

But in reality, ever since Pei Huai suddenly took out this agreement, the Pei family actually felt apologetic.

Old Master Pei had just asked the staff to go on stage to stop them, but the staff clearly only listened to Pei Huai.

After being in a dilemma for a long time, they did not do as the old man said.

Now that Zhang Guihua said it, he felt even more embarrassed. “Pei Huai never discusses anything with us in advance! ”

Du Meilan and Pei Shizhan looked at each other and then pulled Xu Mingzhie’s hand. “After the engagement banquet is over, I will find out more about it. Don’t worry, we will definitely not mistreat Su Ji, and we will not let her marry into our Pei family and suffer any grievances.”

Xu Mingzhi looked at her with her clear eyes. Madam Xu, who had always been hot-tempered, was not angry this time.

“You don’t have to say much. I completely respect Pei Huai’s opinion on this matter.”

Su Cunyi and Pei Shizhan looked at her at the same time.

After such a long period of observation and testing, as well as the fact that her precious daughter had suddenly returned to the Great Shang and finally returned again, Xu Mingzhi was only certain of two things.

First, Pei Huai was true to her daughter.

This was more difficult than anything else.

Ever since the day her daughter returned from the Great Shang, Xu Mingzhi had told him that no matter what happened in the future, she would unconditionally accept him as her future son-in-law.

Second, the assets she had so far were enough for her precious daughter to live a carefree life. She could get whatever she wanted.

Therefore, if it were up to her, it would be better if the agreement was signed. She would let those who said that her daughter was greedy for the Pei family’s wealth and married into the Pei family take a good look. Her daughter, Xu Mingzhi, was unyielding and indifferent to fame and fortune. She did not care about the Pei family at all.

“I can’t sign it.”

However! Just as Xu Mingzhi was thinking that firmly, Su Ji, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Her answer was even more unexpected. Xu Mingzhi was not the only one who was dumbfounded!

“I can’t sign this.” Su Ji smiled and returned the thick stack of documents to Shen Mu.

The scene instantly fell silent!
