Chapter 21 You're just bullying her

Everyone in the Pei family was on edge today. Everyone knew that their boss was in a bad mood, and no one wanted to upset him at this time.

Pei Jiuyan's office was filled with smoke, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

When Assistant Qin entered the room, he saw Pei Jiuyan still smoking, and he didn't dare to stop him.

He received the call in the middle of the night. Although he didn't know why, he quickly went to look up things from a few years ago.

He felt a headache coming on as he thought about the report he was handling.

"You found it?"

Pei Jiuyan asked.

"yes!"

Assistant Qin braced himself and handed the item in front of Pei Jiuyan, not daring to look at Pei Jiuyan's expression at all.

As Pei Jiuyan flipped through the documents, he saw a disheveled Yun Zhaozhao that he had never seen before.

His little princess was wearing someone else's clothes, her hair was disheveled, and her bright eyes were full of fear and helplessness...

After just one glance, Pei Jiuyan dared not look again. His hands clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with hostility.

Where are those beasts?

When Assistant Qin first investigated the events of that year, he also checked where these people were currently living.

Pei Jiuyan didn't rely on anyone else; he personally crushed their fingers one by one.

Assistant Qin stood guard outside the warehouse, listening to the screams inside, and felt a chill run down his spine.

Those who meet Pei Jiuyan for the first time may be deceived by his appearance and think that he is a gentle person, but the real Pei Jiuyan has nothing to do with gentleness.

He was cold and ruthless; his only tenderness was probably reserved for Yun Zhaozhao.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Pei Jiuyan finally emerged. His face was dark and sullen, and the murderous aura emanating from him had not dissipated much. He could even be smelled of rust. Assistant Qin did not even dare to raise his head.

"Clean it up and don't let them appear in the capital again."

Pei Jiuyan's voice was devoid of any warmth.

"Yes, Mr. Pei."

Assistant Qin responded and handled the follow-up matters. Pei Jiuyan sat in the back seat of the car, but there was no sense of satisfaction from revenge on her face, only deep regret.

His little princess was almost bullied right under his nose, and he didn't even know it.

He had never felt such remorse before.

That day, he was halfway there when he suddenly received a distress call from the clerk. He thought he could handle it quickly, but who knew...

Yun Zhaozhao was right; he should have died there.

Pei Jiuyan raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Assistant Qin got into the car, glanced at the back seat, and asked in a low voice, "President Pei, shall we go back to the company now?"

"Take me home."

Pei Jiuyan had barely finished speaking when she changed her mind: "Send me to the Cloud Realm."

Yun Zhaozhao probably didn't want to see him, and he was too ashamed to face her.

At the Cloud Club, Xing Shangye pushed open the door to the private room and was immediately hit by a strong smell of alcohol. He couldn't help but take a step back to adjust before going in.

Seeing the empty wine bottle in front of Pei Jiuyan, he was startled: "The little princess doesn't want you anymore!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bottle was thrown at him. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been hit.

Pei Jiuyan's gloomy face was frightening, and Xing Shangye dared not say anything more and sat down in the corner.

He regretted it somewhat; if he had known Pei Jiuyan would act this way, he would have said he had something to do and wouldn't have come.

He silently drank with her for a while, but eventually couldn't stand it anymore and said, "No, drinking yourself to death here won't solve anything."

After a long while, Pei Jiuyan finally said, "I can't coax her anymore."

Xing Shangye thought to himself, "Serves him right!" but he didn't dare say it out loud.

He scratched his head and said, "If I were Yun Zhaozhao, I would have left you long ago."

"Who is Yun Zhaozhao? She's the undisputed little princess of Beijing's social circle. Do you know how many people covet her? I'm not exaggerating, most of the circle likes her."

She is good-looking, comes from a good family, and is also outstanding herself.

Although she has a bit of a temper, she's not ignorant of manners. What pampered daughter doesn't have a little temper? Yun Zhaozhao's temper is relatively good, and she's genuinely kind-hearted, otherwise Pei Jiuyan wouldn't have been able to coax her so easily.

"She was with you when she was eighteen, but how did you treat her? You had an ambiguous relationship with that clerk, and even played the hero to save her, ending up half-dead in the hospital. Do you know how many people felt sorry for Yun Zhaozhao back then? Now you're spreading rumors that she's pregnant with your child."

"To be honest, if you weren't my brother, I would have beaten you up. Even though the Yun family is gone, they still didn't treat people like this."

"……I don't."

Pei Jiuyan subconsciously retorted that he loved Yun Zhaozhao too much to bear bullying her.

Xing Shangye waved his hand, "Don't tell me you didn't, but what you've done is bullying people."

“Pei Jiuyan, to put it bluntly, you’re only doing this because Yun Zhaozhao has no family.”

"Put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, if Uncle Yun and Yun Fei were still alive, would you dare to treat Yun Zhaozhao like this?"

Pei Jiuyan was completely speechless.

Today, Pei Jiuyan didn't bother her, which was a rare occurrence. Yun Zhaozhao was so happy she felt like she could fly. Even though she had a fever, she was still happy.

However, her body was not cooperating; her fever not only did not subside that night, but actually worsened.

This time, Aunt Chen wasn't fooled anymore. She secretly called Pei Jiuyan. Although she didn't like Pei Jiuyan, she had to admit that only Pei Jiuyan could handle Yun Zhaozhao.

Pei Jiuyan returned reeking of alcohol, and Aunt Chen unconsciously frowned.

"Mr. Pei, Miss really dislikes the taste of alcohol."

Pei Jiuyan paused without explaining. He took a shower and changed his clothes before carefully pushing open the door.

Yun Zhaozhao's face turned bright red, and he frowned as soon as he touched her.

When did she start feeling unwell?

"She had a fever when she woke up at noon, but she refused to go to the hospital and took medicine herself."

Aunt Chen quickly told Pei Jiuyan what medicine she had taken and showed her the medicine: "She did take it, but two pills are missing."

Pei Jiuyan went straight to the trash can and, sure enough, found two discarded pills inside.

Pei Jiuyan picked up Yun Zhaozhao and said, "She doesn't like taking medicine. Next time, you have to make sure she swallows it, otherwise she'll spit it out when you're not looking."

Pei Jiuyan had the driver take her to the hospital. When they arrived, Yun Zhaozhao was delirious with fever, and her temperature was 39.8 degrees Celsius.

The doctor asked Yun Zhaozhao about her recent condition and medications.

Pei Jiuyan suddenly remembered something and said, "She had an upset stomach a few days ago and has been taking stomach medicine."

He now strongly suspects that Yun Zhaozhao didn't take any stomach medicine at all, so the fever was caused by stomach pain.

Pei Jiuyan frowned, noticing that Yun Zhaozhao's health had deteriorated considerably recently. "Give her a thorough full-body checkup as well."
