Meng Shiyi was stunned. She had not expected Pei Jinyu to be so extravagant. This tiny necklace was worth a million. She exchanged a glance with Lu Shixin, seeing the same thought reflected in each other's eyes: a weasel paying respects to a chicken—ill intent hidden behind a facade of kindness. Lu Shixin lowered her gaze, pondering for a moment. She thought to herself that it seemed Pei Jinyu still harbored persistent designs on her brother.
