Emperor Pei Heng was crippled in his youth and exiled to the frontier with his mother's family, enduring great suffering. His trusted followers were all gone, with only his maid, Yue Zhi, by hi...
Chapter 7 ABO Rich Siblings 1 Beta Rich Sister Tames Alpha...
At 10 p.m., Beijing's nightlife was just beginning. The streets were bustling with traffic, and the flashing neon signs painted the night sky with an ambiguous purplish-red hue.
The sounds of things being smashed continued incessantly. The heavy double doors of the suite were pushed open from the inside, and a woman wearing a red halter dress and with disheveled makeup staggered out, clutching her coat.
She crawled into the elevator, sobbing softly and biting her nails anxiously.
As the elevator descended into the enclosed space, the highly aggressive cedar pheromones clinging to her body remained intensely pungent, causing her to cough involuntarily.
"Why did I end up taking on such a job..."
She tapped her head, reflecting with annoyance, "An Alpha of that level, still in her vulnerable period, is simply deadly!"
If she hadn't reacted quickly and run fast, she would have been bitten to death or beaten to death.
The elevator stopped on the first floor. The woman quickly composed herself, walked into the glittering marble lobby, and pretended nothing had happened, intending to walk through the lobby and leave the hotel.
Before she even reached the revolving door, two hotel security guards dressed in custom black suits and wearing concealed communication devices in their ears calmly blocked her way.
A bodyguard dressed in unfamiliar clothes stepped forward. He was burly and had a keen sense of smell. He noticed the unusually strong pheromone scent on her and said in a cold voice, "Madam, please wait. You seem to have the pheromones of our company's Vice President Pei. To prevent pheromone crimes, we need to confirm the situation."
The woman's face turned deathly pale instantly as she struggled to break free from the three men's grasp. "What pheromones? Let me go! This is restricting my freedom! Be careful..."
Before the words were even finished, a sleek, commemorative edition luxury car quietly pulled up outside the hotel's magnificent revolving doors.
The car body gleamed with a dark metallic sheen, and the specially customized dark glass blocked prying eyes, but also attracted the attention of people inside and outside the hotel.
"Look at that car! In the candid photos that 'Fashion Entertainment' broke this week, the eldest son of the Pei family was picking up that C-list celebrity from get off work in this car! There are only eight in the world, and only two in Beijing." A passerby whispered to his companion.
"Who has the other one?" his companion asked curiously.
"That goes without saying, it's definitely in the hands of his older sister, Pei Yuezhi. Young Master Pei is still studying at business school and hasn't graduated yet, so this eldest daughter of the Pei family is the real power holder."
Amidst the murmurs, a slender, fair leg clad in black velvet high heels gracefully emerged from the car door.
The woman appeared before everyone wearing a dark green silk slip dress with a sharp black blazer over it.
Her long, wavy hair was casually tied back with a translucent jade hairpin, with a few strands falling over her shoulders and neck. The matching jade cabochon necklace and diamond earrings shimmered with a warm and dazzling brilliance under the light.
Ignoring the stares around her, Yuezhi calmly swept her gaze across the lobby and walked straight toward the center of the commotion.
When the bodyguards saw her, they nodded slightly and respectfully made way for her.
The woman in the red dress froze, even as she bit her nails, under the invisible oppressive aura emanating from her.
Yuezhi's gaze swept over her indifferently, finally landing on her shoulder, which was trembling slightly from the cedar pheromones, her eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
She approached slowly, her heels clicking on the marble floor with a crisp yet authoritative sound.
The head bodyguard bowed and said respectfully, "President Pei."
Yuezhi didn't look at him, but simply raised her hand slightly to stop his movements. Her cold gaze fell on the woman in the red dress who was still struggling.
"This is illegal detention! I'm calling the police! Let me go!" The woman became even more nervous upon seeing the aloof and elegant Pei Yuezhi.
Yuezhi watched her performance quietly until her voice subsided slightly before speaking softly: "Starry Entertainment, Director Wang gave you this task, right? To cooperate with Mr. Pei Xuan of the sixth branch of the Pei family to get close to Pei Heng and put on this good show."
The woman's expression immediately changed, revealing her guilty conscience.
"You've got a very clever plan." Yue Zhi said calmly, arms crossed, not trying to hide the shocking news from the hotel guests in the booths not far away.
"Did they tell you to find the right opportunity to get pregnant with Pei Heng's child? The Sixth Branch is planning to use this scandal to restrain Pei Heng, thereby gaining an extra seat and a larger share in the next board meeting. Meanwhile, you and your company will use the title of 'giving birth to a rich family' to dominate the trending topics, raking in all the traffic and going from being an unknown to becoming a queen of controversy, making a fortune."
With each word she spoke, the woman's face paled further, and her body trembled slightly. Weren't these secret plans only discussed between the boss and Boss Pei? How did she know?
"I...I don't know what you're talking about..." The woman tried to argue, but she had no confidence and her voice was weak and wavering.
Yuezhi looked at the woman calmly, a cold smile curving her lips: "From the time you deliberately approached Pei Heng three months ago, I have already compiled all the call records, financial transactions, and photos and recordings of your meetings with Director Wang and Pei Xuan at the private club."
"On the way here, I already called the police. Commercial fraud, theft of trade secrets, and... attempting to use Alph for illicit profit—these charges are enough to get you and your boss in jail for a while."
The woman's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground. Her nerves, weakened by the fierce pheromones, completely broke down. Tears streamed down her face as she grabbed Pei Yuezhi's skirt and begged for mercy.
"Miss Pei, I was wrong! I was forced! Please, please have mercy and let me go this time..."
Pei Yuezhi frowned slightly, gently pulled her skirt back, ignored the collapsed woman on the ground, and turned to the bodyguard standing respectfully beside her, asking, "Where is Pei Heng?"
"The vice president is in the penthouse suite."
The bodyguard gave the room number, adding with a worried expression.
"However... the vice president's pheromone fluctuations seem to be very drastic, with extremely high concentrations. He may have been induced into a vulnerable period by illegal drugs. I suggest we see a doctor first."
It is well known that top-tier Alphas are extremely aggressive and unstable during their vulnerable periods, and they will attack almost indiscriminately anyone who gets close to them and is not their partner, even family members.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuezhi gave a faint "hmm".
She straightened the cuffs of her suit jacket in the crook of her arm and said calmly, "Go contact the doctor. I'll go upstairs to see him first."
After saying that, he walked straight to the elevator that required a special key to activate and went directly to the top-floor suite.
The bodyguards dared not stop her and respectfully pressed the button for her.
The elevator doors slid open silently, and Pei Yuezhi stepped in. Her figure disappeared behind the closing golden doors, leaving only the bodyguards looking at each other in bewilderment and the woman in the red dress slumped on the ground, sobbing softly.
Shortly after, police sirens blared outside the hotel's revolving doors. Bodyguards and security guards worked in perfect unison to escort the ashen-faced woman in the red dress away from the lobby.
The small commotion subsided, but the suppressed whispers in the hall spread like ripples on water.
"My God, that's Pei Yuezhi, the current head of the Pei Group?" A young girl in a little dress covered her mouth, her eyes shining. "She's so beautiful! Her temperament and aura, I thought she was some big star I'd never seen before!"
My friend next to me nodded vigorously, quickly took out his phone, swiped a few times, and pulled up a somewhat blurry candid photo.
The photo shows a tall, handsome young man with a defiant look in his eyes, considerately opening a car door for a petite woman.
"Look, that's her younger brother, Pei Heng. Last week, paparazzi caught him having private contact with a minor celebrity. Look at how good-looking these two siblings are, their genes are just too strong!"
"Genes?" The young man holding a wine glass next to him smiled meaningfully upon hearing this. "You're half right. Pei Heng's genes are certainly top-notch, but his sister, Pei Yuezhi... has nothing to do with the Pei family's genes."
These words immediately attracted curious glances from those around them.
"The eldest branch of the Pei family, that is, President Pei and his wife, had been married for several years without any children. Later, they found a way to adopt Yuezhi, who was only five or six years old at the time. As a result, the second year after Yuezhi entered the family, Mrs. Pei became pregnant and gave birth to Pei Heng."
"Oh? Wouldn't that put the adopted daughter in an awkward position? In wealthy families, children adopted as sons often end up..."
“At the time, the Pei family did consider abandoning her.” The man took a sip of wine and began to explain. “But Miss Yuezhi, although she is a Beta, is exceptionally intelligent. From the moment she entered school, her grades and talents were all top-notch. Mr. Pei and his wife probably wanted to set an example for their son and also to cultivate talent for the family company, so they kept her.”
“We grew up under the same roof, and after twenty years, aren’t we still as close as siblings?” a girl couldn’t help but retort.
“Little sister, you’re overthinking it.” The man shook his head. “To ensure that all of the Pei family’s assets belong to Pei Heng, Miss Yuezhi has never been registered in the Pei family’s household register. To put it bluntly, she’s just a person living in the Pei family, working for them to earn money, and also helping them discipline their own son. How much of the assets she gets depends on the mood of the Pei family.”
Upon hearing this, a murmur of sympathy arose from the crowd, and many people showed expressions of pity on their faces.
"So, she's had a tough time. She's a high-level working woman who also has to deal with her brother's mess..."
"Feel sorry for her? You're overthinking it," a woman who had been listening quietly said calmly.
"Would someone as shrewd as Pei Yuezhi let herself suffer a loss? She owns several properties in prime locations and privately holds shares in and controls several companies, making her the owner of her own properties. Even if she were to leave the Pei family tomorrow, her net worth would already be over 100 million. She's playing a high-stakes game; we can just watch the show."
Everyone was both surprised and curious, their gazes once again turning to the silent elevator, wondering what was happening on the top floor at that moment...
Yuezhi unlocked the heavy door with her exclusive room card and pushed it open to enter.
The scene inside the suite came into view: the floor was a mess, with cushions, a suit lying on the ground, and an expensive-looking crystal ashtray shattered on the carpet, silently telling the story of the storm that had passed through this place.
She frowned slightly, looking at the messy bed in the center of the room and the young man lying on the blankets.
Twenty-year-old Pei Heng was tall and had long legs. He was wearing only a wrinkled white shirt with most of the buttons undone, revealing his well-defined chest and collarbone, and his skin was flushed with an abnormal redness.
Her head was buried deep in the pillow, and she made muffled, painful groans in her throat, like a wounded and restless wild beast, repeatedly muttering, "Sister... Sister..."
At first glance, his tearful cries sounded like a pitiful little brother seeking comfort after being tricked, but Yuezhi couldn't ignore his little actions.
Not only was the blanket sticking out of shape, but the damp stain and the faint scent of photinia in the air were undeniable.
Yuezhi shifted her gaze in disdain.
The entire space was filled with a strong, domineering, sharp, and aggressive cedar pheromone. If an Alpha or Omega were here, they would probably have been overwhelmed by this aura and would have difficulty breathing and become restless.
But Yuezhi is a Beta.
She was completely unaware of the pheromones, calmly took off her suit jacket, threw it on the bed, and it landed right next to Pei Heng's head.
The wind carrying her perfume blew her coat down to Pei Heng's face. Like a restless wolf, the young man keenly sensed the scent and immediately moved towards it, tightly hugging the coat, which still carried her warmth and fragrance, and burying his face in it, greedily and deeply inhaling.
There were no pheromones that Alphas crave, only the scent of her custom-made gardenia perfume, cool and serene.
For an Alpha who is currently tormented by the heightened sensitivity of their immune system and instinctively craving soothing pheromones, this familiar scent is like seeing a mirage in the desert—a comfort, but also a torment, a desperate measure to quench their thirst.
She stood by the bed, watching the young man do his dirty work on her clothes, listening to his clear murmurs and growls, her face expressionless, even a little self-deprecating.
Yuezhi looked down at him, watching his beastly state under the influence of the drug and controlled by his vulnerable period. After a moment of impatience, self-reliance, and a low gasp, his eyes finally regained a sliver of clarity.
Pei Heng groggily raised his head, his black hair on his forehead soaked with sweat, his eyes unfocused and moist, like obsidian covered with a layer of mist.
He saw Yuezhi standing by the bed. Her handsome, aggressive face instantly lost all its irritability, leaving only complete dependence and grievance.
"Sister..." His voice was terribly hoarse, with a heavy nasal tone, "I miss you so much... I feel so bad..."
As he mumbled his words, he reached out his clean hand, hooked her fingers, and gripped her wrist. The force was so great that Yuezhi, caught off guard, slumped to the side of the bed.
The next moment, Pei Heng's burning hot body wrapped around her.
Even though he knew his sister didn't have glands, his uncontrollable instincts during her sensitive period still drove him to want to bite there.
Alpha's hot breath sprayed onto the skin behind Yuezhi's neck. Just as their lips were about to touch, Yuezhi sighed softly, her voice filled with helplessness and a touch of tenderness.
She didn't struggle; calmly, she opened her elegant handbag and took out a pre-prepared tranquilizer.
The vulnerable period is different from the estrus period, which can be controlled with inhibitors. In Pei Heng's current condition, only sedatives can be used.
She deftly bit off the needle cap with her teeth, then precisely inserted the needle into the muscle of the arm that Pei Heng was tightly gripping, and pushed the medicine in without hesitation with her thumb.
The stinging sensation of the cold liquid entering his body made Pei Heng stiffen abruptly, and the grip on her arm loosened slightly.
He looked up, his eyes filled with shock and hurt. His lowered eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he let out a muffled whimper, like a large, abandoned dog.
The drug took effect quickly; Alpha's eyes glazed over, his heavy body swayed, and he slumped back onto the bed, falling into a forced sleep.
Yuezhi slowly stood up and straightened her wrinkled dark green silk skirt.
She looked down at her younger brother on the bed, leaned over, brushed away his sweaty bangs with her fingertips, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
