Chapter 101 Out of Control
Pei Jiuyan left the police station two days later. All of his accusations were unfounded. The most serious accusation was that he assaulted people. Those people changed their testimonies and said that they had indeed seen Pei Jiuyan, but Pei Jiuyan did not lay a hand on them. He only told them to leave the capital. Their injuries were from fighting with others.
Since the victims have all changed their testimonies, the investigation can no longer proceed, and there is no other evidence to support it.
Assistant Qin had received the news and was waiting for Pei Jiuyan at the door early. When Pei Jiuyan came out, he hurriedly went to greet her.
"President Pei."
"Take me back first."
Assistant Qin quickly drove Pei Jiuyan back to his small apartment. When Pei Jiuyan came out after taking a shower and changing his clothes, Assistant Qin was already standing to the side, ready to give a report.
Pei Jiuyan glanced at him and suddenly asked, "How much is your salary?"
Assistant Qin was taken aback upon hearing this, quickly gave a number, and then, looking at Pei Jiuyan's expression, whispered, "Madam said a few days ago that she wanted you to give me a raise."
Whether it's sarcastic or not, those were indeed the words of the lady. Assistant Qin has a clear conscience; if it weren't for such a high salary, he would have quit long ago.
Hearing him mention Yun Zhaozhao, Pei Jiuyan's heart stirred, and a hint of bitterness appeared in his eyes. Assistant Qin noticed this and said softly, "Thanks to Madam's presence these past few days, the shareholders haven't made any trouble, and the stock has stabilized."
"Oh, by the way, this is what Madam asked me to give you."
As Assistant Qin spoke, he placed something on the table; it was a bracelet that Pei Jiuyan had made by hand.
Does she not even want this?
Pei Jiuyan felt even more bitter.
"The lady said it's inappropriate for her to keep this and that you should give it to someone more suitable."
Assistant Qin spoke with difficulty. If President Pei had recovered, he would never have dared to convey these words. He was only doing so because Pei Jiuyan's temper was better now.
Upon hearing this, Pei Jiuyan gripped the bracelet tightly. After a while, he put the bracelet inside his clothes before saying, "Let's go, let's go to the sanatorium first."
Assistant Qin hadn't expected him to go to the sanatorium first. Just as he was about to say something, Pei Jiuyan said, "Didn't you say she's my mother? As her son, I have to go and see her."
Pei's mother's mental state was still not good, or rather, it wasn't just her mental state; her physical health had also deteriorated significantly. After all, she was getting old, and the ordeal in the snow had taken its toll on her health. Coupled with being upset several times in a row, she had no energy left.
Even so, she was still very excited when she saw Pei Jiuyan.
"What? You've come to settle scores with me?"
“I’ve been here for so many days, and you’ve never come to see me once. The only reason you came was because of Yun Zhaozhao. You’re obsessed with Yun Zhaozhao. You’ve gone mad.”
Pei's mother kept speaking ill of Yun Zhaozhao and kept urging him to take back the shares and real estate.
Pei Jiuyan remained silent throughout until his mother stopped talking because she was tired. Only then did he speak, saying, "No wonder."
No wonder he had no memory of his only relative; it was simply not worth it.
From beginning to end, his mother didn't utter a single word of concern, showing absolutely no interest in how he had spent the past few days inside. All she cared about was money.
I heard that she also caused Yun Zhaozhao a lot of grievances.
He didn't know how Pei Jiuyan had tolerated his mother for so many years, but he certainly couldn't tolerate even the slightest bit.
"I was indeed wrong."
He began to speak.
Upon hearing this, Pei's mother was taken aback at first, then a look of joy appeared in her eyes: "You've finally come to your senses, Jiu Yan. I knew you weren't a confused person. Come on, let's go home first."
As soon as Madam Pei finished speaking, she told people to pack their things. Pei Jiuyan didn't stop them at all. He went out to make a phone call, and when he came back, he crossed his arms and looked at his overjoyed mother, listening to her plan everything.
“Even if you transfer the shares to her, you can still get them back.”
“She has already sold some of those items, and we must get that money back.”
"She's been married to you for years and hasn't even given birth to a single child. She's even pregnant with another man's child, cheating on you. If you ask me, she should not only be forced to leave with nothing, but also kicked out of the capital."
She became more and more excited as she spoke, completely unaware of Pei Jiuyan's sudden change in expression to one of malice.
"Alright, I'm almost done packing. Let's go."
Pei's mother spoke in a condescending tone, and Pei Jiuyan nodded and called out, "Someone come here."
The secretary appeared with several bodyguards, and only then did Pei's mother realize that something was wrong.
"Jiuyan, what are you doing? There's not much food, you don't need so many people."
Pei Jiuyan stared at her and slowly said, "Send the old lady to where she should go."
Upon hearing this, a hint of fear flashed in Pei's mother's eyes: "Pei Jiuyan, what do you mean by 'place you should go'? What do you want to do?"
"You don't like it here? Then I'll find you another place."
Pei Jiuyan said calmly.
Only then did Pei's mother understand what he meant; he hadn't come to take her back at all.
“You can’t do that, Pei Jiuyan, I’m your mother.”
Pei's mother roared.
Pei Jiuyan looked at her coldly and said sarcastically, "You should be glad you're my mother."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be wasting his breath here.
Moreover, he is clearly different from before. How could a mother who has been a mother for so long not notice? Does she even deserve to be his mother?
Pei's mother really didn't realize it. She didn't know much about Pei Jiuyan to begin with, and had always thought he was an easy-going and obedient child. It was only recently that some things made her realize that the truth was not like that.
Pei Jiuyan was too lazy to talk to her anymore and had someone send Pei's mother to another place.
She spends thousands of dollars a day and is still not satisfied. Then let her suffer a bit and see if anyone will still pay attention to her without the halo of Old Madam Pei.
After dealing with Pei's mother's matter, Pei Jiuyan asked, "Where is that document?"
There is no news yet.
Assistant Qin glanced at him and whispered a reminder: "President Pei, the person behind her is Minister Huang. We can't afford to break ties with Minister Huang for now."
Upon hearing this, Pei Jiuyan slowly said, "Tell me about that Minister Huang, everything you know."
Assistant Qin had no idea what he was up to, so she could only tell him everything she knew.
Although he was Pei Jiuyan's confidant, there were still many things he didn't know, such as the leverage Pei Jiuyan held over him.
Although Pei Jiuyan couldn't remember those things, knowing his personality, he knew he must have some trump cards up his sleeve.
Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go meet that Minister Huang."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Qin secretly groaned. The previous President Pei was already troublesome enough, but now he was even more reckless, as if he wanted to smash everyone to pieces.
Without Yun Zhaozhao as a shackle, Pei Jiuyan completely lost control!
