Pei Zhi really shouldn't take her anger out on Xie Cinian because of this.

Pei Zhi had no evidence; the bar was shut down by Xie Cinian.

"Alright, we can't play anymore. Take me back to Hu Shi's house."

"Okay." Xie Cinian opened the door eagerly, letting Pei Zhi get into the car.

Xie Cinian started the car and said, "If you get tired of staying at Hu Shi's place, you can go home for a while."

"Home?"

Pei Zhi reminded Xie Cinian, "President Xie, are you still living in a dream?"

“I’ve been divorced from you for so many years, that place has never been my home.”

Pei Zhi never considered the Xie residence as her own home.

Xie Cinian gripped the steering wheel. "When we got divorced, you probably didn't read the divorce agreement carefully."

"The Xie residence, as part of the divorce compensation, is allocated to you."

Pei Zhi asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

"How could that be?"

Pei Zhi retorted, "Don't I know how much wealth I have?"

Xie Cinian explained, "Because the Xie residence is large and the transfer of ownership to you is a complicated process."

"It took almost a year after the divorce to complete the formalities."

Xie Ci Nian spoke as if nothing had happened, and Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"So, you mean the Xie residence is mine?"

Xie Cinian nodded sincerely: "Yes."

"So, the Xie family has changed their surname to Pei?"

Xie Ci Nian paused for a moment, then nodded again.

"In other words, you've been living on my territory all these years."

Xie Cinian was taken aback for a moment, then explained, "Because you're not here. The house is too big, and it can't function without someone guarding it."

Pei Zhi reached out to Xie Cinian: "You've lived in my house for so many years and expanded it so much, it's not too much to ask for some rent, is it?"

Xie Ci Nian asked, "Do you want money?"

Pei Zhi said frankly, "I'm a little short of money lately."

"Is there something you like? I'll buy it for you."

Xie Cinian sighed, "You probably don't know."

"The economic environment has been bad these past few years, money is hard to earn, and I don't have much money either. If you ask me for rent, just owe me for now."

If Pei Zhi wants anything, Xie Cinian can give it to her.

However, Xie Ci Nian could not give Pei Zhi money.

Who knows, once Pei Zhi has the money, she might disappear without a trace.

Money is very important; without money, you can't do anything.

Xie Cinian believed that it was better for Pei Zhi to be poor.

Pei Zhi scoffed, "Xie Cinian, it's been so many years, your skin has really gotten thicker."

Xie Ci Nian was able to say that he didn't have much money left.

If Xie Ci Nian didn't have money, there would be no rich people in this world.

The Xie family has accumulated countless riches over the years, all of which are now in Xie Cinian's hands.

"It's normal for people to become thick-skinned as they get older."

Pei Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Since you said the house you live in is in my name, can I sell it?"

Xie Ci nodded: "Of course."

"It's your stuff, you can do whatever you want with it, no problem."

Xie Ci Nian agreed too readily, which made Pei Zhi worry that there was something fishy going on.

"real?"

"However, the house is too large, and I think you won't be able to find a suitable buyer in the short term."

Following Xie Cinian's words, Pei Zhi asked, "Then how long do you think it would take to sell this house if I were to sell it?"

"Maybe it can be sold before you die?"

Pei Zhi scoffed, "You might as well say that no one dares to buy your Xie family's house. That would be more direct."

Xie Ci nodded. "You could say that."

That statement doesn't sound wrong.

"Even though the house can't be sold, wasn't it nice for you to live there before?"

"It has servants to wait on you, a large estate, a greenhouse, and a ski resort, which is better than Hu Shi's small house."

Pei Zhi said lazily, "I work for Hu Shi now, and my monthly salary can't even afford to hire you as a servant."

"It's alright, their salaries are paid by the Xie family."

Pei Zhi ignored Xie Cinian and said, "I'm doing quite well staying with Hu Shi."

Xie Ci Nian didn't say anything more and drove quietly the rest of the way.

The car was registered and driven to the villa's entrance.

Pei Zhi reminded Xie Cinian, "Wait here for a moment, I'll get your coat for you."

"What I just said was the truth."

"With you staying here with Hu Shi, it's become difficult for him to bring his girlfriend back; it's somewhat inconvenient."

Pei Zhi didn't reply to Xie Cinian. "Wait here, I'll go get the clothes."

Pei Zhi got out of the car, and Xie Cinian was naturally not foolish enough to wait there.

The coat is now the bridge between him and Pei Zhi.

If Pei Zhi returned his coat, he would have no excuse to go see her.

Pei Zhi went upstairs, took off her coat from the rack, and saw that the villa entrance was empty. Pei Zhi was not surprised at all.

It would be abnormal if Xie Cinian didn't run away.

Pei Zhi went upstairs with her coat and ran into Hu Shi, who was coming out of his room.

Hu Shih must have just finished showering; he was wearing shorts and his hair was still wet.

The two men looked at each other, and Hu Shi was stunned for a moment. Then he fled back to his room as if he were escaping, and hurriedly put on long pants and long sleeves.

Pei Zhi carried her coat back to her room, pondering Xie Cinian's words.

It wouldn't be a problem for her to stay with Hu Shi for a short time.

This can't go on forever.

Being Hu Shih's assistant is not a long-term solution.

Pei Zhi accepted Hu Shi's advice because she didn't know how long she would stay in this world.

She'll leave at any time if she gets bored.

Then there's no need to buy yourself a property and find a job.

But in the few days since she returned, Pei Zhi has found it quite interesting.

It's much better to be around people who are warm-hearted than those cold, impersonal robots.

Then she had to consider the problems that followed.

We need to find something to eat and a decent place to move out.

Fortunately, Hu Shih doesn't have a girlfriend right now.

Otherwise, if she were to stay with Hu Shi like this, what kind of person would she be?

There was a knock on Pei Zhi's door, and Hu Shi stood outside.

"I'm sorry about that, I thought you weren't coming back today."

Hu Shih's filming was delayed for a long time today. After filming ended, Hu Shih took a shower.

Feeling thirsty after showering, I went downstairs for a drink, only to bump into Pei Zhi, who was returning home.

Pei Zhi laughed and said, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

“This is your home. I have caused you inconvenience. I should be the one apologizing to you.”

Pei Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Hu Shi, you have many connections in the entertainment industry. See if you can find me a job."

"You... want to work?" Hu Shih seemed to have heard something unbelievable.

"What, you think my salary isn't enough? I can give you a little extra."

Pei Zhi quickly waved her hand, "We all know that you're paying me this salary because of our past relationship."

"I can't stay here with you forever, otherwise, what kind of person would I be?"

Rescue is possible for a while, but she can't be rescued indefinitely, or she'll be ruined.
