Chapter 149 A Frenzied Revenge
Assistant Qin remained silent for a while before speaking:
“You don’t remember what happened before, but you were very angry when the news of Miss Yun’s pregnancy came out.”
"Moreover, based on the timeline, you were very busy during that period, mostly traveling for work..."
Assistant Qin had one more thing he didn't say: anyone could be the child's father, but he was the only one who couldn't be.
He was Pei Jiuyan's assistant and knew Pei Jiuyan's schedule best. During that time, he often went abroad to meet with Wenshu, but of course, that doesn't mean he and Wenshu did anything.
Later, he learned why the boss and Wenshu had met, but at the time, he didn't know and even thought that the child in Wenshu's belly was Pei Jiuyan's.
Assistant Qin's words made Pei Jiuyan's heart sink to the bottom.
Previously, he still held a sliver of hope that if the child wasn't Chen Boxu's, then the most likely possibility was that it was his.
As a result, Assistant Qin gave him a rude awakening.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Assistant Qin coughed lightly: "President Pei, should we investigate?"
"Need not!"
Pei Jiuyan heard himself say, "It doesn't matter whose child she is, from now on she is just my daughter."
After saying that, Pei Jiuyan hung up the phone.
He felt he was truly obsessed, so determined to find out what the child's father was doing? Whoever it was, it could only be his from now on.
As long as that man doesn't show up and doesn't try to take the child and Yun Zhaozhao from him, everything will be fine.
Yun Zhaozhao had no idea about Pei Jiuyan's inner thoughts. It was only a few days later that she heard from Assistant Zhang and others that Pei Jiuyan was suppressing the Chen family like a madman.
“The Chen family was severely weakened by the previous investigation. This time, Pei Jiuyan seems determined not to give them a way out and wants to remove them directly from the Beijing social circle.”
Assistant Zhang then looked at Yun Zhaozhao and asked, "Miss, would you like to make a move?"
"What does this have to do with me?"
Yun Zhaozhao looked completely bewildered.
Assistant Zhang said tactfully, "Chen Boxu is, after all, the child's father. I'm worried that the child will find out about these things when he grows up..."
Yun Zhaozhao understood Assistant Zhang's concerns and was somewhat amused and exasperated. Indeed, one lie requires countless others to cover it up.
“Uncle Zhang, the child is not Chen Boxu’s, and has nothing to do with him.”
Yun Zhaozhao explained.
"What?"
Assistant Zhang looked surprised, "Then..."
He wanted to ask who the child was, but then felt it was inappropriate and refrained from asking. Yun Zhaozhao also didn't bring it up again.
Everyone thought it was very strange that Pei Jiuyan suddenly attacked the Chen family again. Yun Zhaozhao thought so too, but she didn't ask. Chen Boxu was no good, and she couldn't be bothered to do anything about it.
The document also raised questions: "Chen Boxu has been keeping a low profile lately. What did he do to offend Pei Jiuyan? Pei Jiuyan is actually trying to kill him."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shangluo said coldly, "Who knows? Pei Jiuyan is a madman."
He's been in a bad mood lately, easily angered and agitated.
He and Mr. Fu failed to reach an agreement. Mr. Fu wanted him to go away for a few years before returning to the capital, but he refused. The two are currently at an impasse. His current position has also been suspended.
The clerk was already used to his unpredictable temper, and seeing his unfriendly expression, he added, "Pei Jiuyan doesn't care at all. After all, Chen Boxu is the child's father. Yun Zhaozhao probably won't agree to his ruthless approach."
"Won't!"
Fu Shangluo said with certainty.
Seeing his knowing expression, the clerk couldn't help but ask, "How can you be so sure?"
Fu Shangluo glanced at the document. Since the two were now in the same boat, he didn't bother to hide it any longer and said directly:
"Because Yun Zhaozhao's child is not Chen Boxu's, but Pei Jiuyan's."
Thinking of this, Fu Shangluo's face became even uglier. Yun Zhaozhao even said she had let go of it. If she really had let go, she shouldn't have kept the child.
"What?"
The clerk stood up in shock: "The child is Pei Jiuyan's? Why is Yun Zhaozhao keeping it a secret?"
As soon as she said it, she realized that, given Pei Jiuyan's personality, if he knew the child was his, he would never divorce her.
"How did she manage to keep it a secret? Pei Jiuyan actually believed it, and Chen Boxu, why did he admit it? Is Yun Zhaozhao having an affair with Chen Boxu, or does she have some dirt on Chen Boxu?"
"Enough!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Fu Shangluo frowned and interrupted her: "Don't assume that everyone is like you."
The clerk's expression changed slightly, and he said bitterly, "Of course I don't have her good fortune."
She couldn't understand why Yun Zhaozhao was so lucky; that child was actually Pei Jiuyan's, so she wouldn't be able to use it to make things awkward in the future.
She felt that the world was too unfair. Some people were born with everything, while she had to rely on herself even if she wanted a piece of bread.
"Stop saying those sarcastic things. Don't let Pei Jiuyan know about this."
Fu Shangluo's current feelings are the same as Chen Boxu's. The child is clearly his own, but the father is unaware of it. This feeling is really great.
"Don't worry, I'm not that kind."
She would never tell Pei Jiuyan; she hoped he would never know.
It must be said that these people are, in a sense, the same kind of people.
"With Pei Jiuyan taking action against the Chen family, our plans will likely have to be delayed."
As she spoke, the clerk glanced at Fu Shangluo, and sure enough, she saw anxiety in his eyes.
"No, we can't wait any longer. I need to think of a way to contact other people."
With that, Fu Shangluo went to the study. The scribe sat there, glanced at his hands, and gave a sarcastic smile.
If you say she's dirty, how are they any better?
We don't have to do everything right now.
We're all the same at heart, yet they have the nerve to look down on her.
Chen Boxu, from the Chen family, had bloodshot eyes. He didn't know what had gotten into Pei Jiuyan. This time, she didn't just want to cut off one of their arms; she wanted them dead.
He is now being questioned by his family, who are asking him what he has done this time. He racks his brains but can only think of the day he met Yun Zhaozhao.
Just because of this? Pei Jiuyan wants to kill him?
Since that's the case, then nobody should have an easy time.
Isn't Pei Jiuyan the one who cares most about Yun Zhaozhao? Then he'll make him taste what it's like to lose the most important person in his life.
Yes, and that brat too.
He wanted to get that child out, kill him in front of Pei Jiuyan, and then tell him that the child was actually his.
Just thinking about Pei Jiuyan's breakdown made Chen Boxu feel like he could breathe again.
He was really looking forward to seeing that scene!
