Chapter 303 Pei Yun Shen's Fate
Luo Anya suddenly clutched her stomach, her brows furrowed in pain, and said, "Move aside, my stomach hurts, I need to go to the hospital."
The reporters, knowing the priorities, quickly made way for Luo Anya to get into her car and leave.
As for Pei Yun Shen, he wasn't so lucky.
Unable to walk or get into the car, Pei Yunshen simply turned around, and taking advantage of the reporters' inattention, jumped over the green belt and ran away without looking back.
He felt as if his inner thigh had been pulled, and he could hear the reporters crossing the green belt to catch up with him. He could only swing his arms and run forward.
The reporters, their eyes gleaming with greed, strode swiftly with their cameras and microphones, aiming at their targets and relentlessly pursuing them.
Pei Yun Shen cursed as he ran through the alleys.
I had just turned a corner when, without noticing, I stepped on a warm pile of poop and fell flat on my face.
The fall was so hard it broke my bones, and dog poop splattered all over my face.
For a moment, he couldn't get up.
Reporters with their long lenses and microphones caught up and were stunned when they saw the scene before them. They then rushed to take close-up shots of Pei Yunshen from all sorts of tricky angles.
Soon, the news that "Pei Yunshen was surrounded by reporters, fell down and got dog poop smeared on his face" became a trending topic.
Pei Yun Shen's image plummeted, and he was ridiculed by the entire nation.
[My God, these days even the most grotesque and ugly people can become CEOs. I almost threw up my lunch yesterday.]
[Luo Anya cheated on President Feng with him, all for this piece of shit? Is she out of her mind?]
[These media outlets are so malicious! They couldn't even spare a mosaic, and they even included a GIF! Hahaha, they've dug up all the bamboo shoots on the mountain.]
[Hahahaha, I could laugh at this animated meme for a year. Pei Yun Shen fell like a demon; how can someone be so ugly?]
[I laughed so hard I rolled on the floor, and my mom said she was going to send me to a mental hospital.]
[I used to think Pei Yun Shen was quite handsome, but now... tsk tsk, I can't look at his face the same way anymore.]
It was just a trending topic, but it instantly linked Pei Yun Shen and dog poop together. It made the citizens of Xingdou laugh heartily during their leisure time.
Upon seeing the news, Luo Anya immediately took out her marriage certificate and tore it to shreds.
The thought of moving to the Pei family tomorrow and living with a piece of trash who is ridiculed and despised by the entire internet made her want to kill herself.
Aunt Luo comforted her, "No matter what, Pei Yun Shen is sincere towards you. The Pei family and the Luo family are well-matched."
"Yes, Anya, if he hadn't stood up for you, your reputation would have been completely ruined, and Feng Jue wouldn't have let the Luo family off the hook."
"If you really don't like him, wait until things calm down and Feng Jue stops targeting the Luo family, then get a divorce. Remember, the child should stay with the Pei family so you can marry into a good family."
Even if you divorce, he's still your son. If he becomes the president of Pei's Group in the future, you'll get a share of the profits too.
Luo Anya's eyes trembled, and a wave of regret and guilt surged in her heart.
Feng Jue could never touch her, and she couldn't reproduce asexually, so she could only find someone else.
However, during that time, Pei Yun Shen didn't act as a proper backup plan and was completely out of her control. If such an important task were entrusted to him, he wouldn't obediently follow orders.
So she just randomly picked a sycophant who was obedient and had no connections.
If she had known things would turn out this way, she should have gotten pregnant with Pei Yun Shen's child.
Luo Anya scratched her head in frustration. Oh well, Pei Yun Shen was so infatuated with her that he wouldn't even think of getting a DNA test.
Her biggest regret right now is that she didn't marry Feng Jue, and she will never give up on that.
Upon seeing the news, Pei Yun Shen smashed his phone. Knowing that Luo Anya was moving in tomorrow, he naturally wanted to use the best villa as their wedding home.
Thinking it over, he went downstairs and swiped his card to buy the latest model of mobile phone.
"I'm sorry, sir, your card has been frozen."
"What?!" Pei Yun Shen was immediately furious. "What kind of lousy shop is this? Can't you recognize this kind of black card?"
"I'm sorry, sir, this card really can't be used."
"Trash." Pei Yun Shen cursed as he walked into a luxury store he frequented. He took a fancy to a diamond ring worth over 30 million yuan and swiped his card.
The sales clerk, who had been grinning obsequiously, excitedly took the card, but the next second, his smile froze.
"Mr. Pei... I'm sorry, your card... cannot be swiped."
"What?" Pei Yun Shen then realized something was wrong.
Frustrated, he tugged at his tie and grabbed the sales clerk's phone to call Pei's father. The moment the call connected and he heard his voice, the man hung up immediately. He wouldn't answer any more calls.
He called Pei's mother again.
Once the call connected, he launched into a tirade of frustration, "Mom, what are you guys doing? Why isn't my card working?"
"Son, I went to buy a bag today, and my card was frozen too. Could it be Feng Jue's doing?"
"How could that be? He and I are best buddies. Would he really go after me over something so trivial? I'll hang up now and go ask him."
"Wait, son, your dad wants us to go to the Cloud Villa. He says he has something to say to us."
"Okay, got it." Pei Yunshen hung up the phone. He was also planning to use the Cloud Villa as his wedding home, and he needed his parents to move their things out.
"I've confiscated your phone," Pei Yunshen said to the sales clerk, muttering to himself, "What a crappy phone."
Salesman?
I didn't check the almanac before going out today, so I didn't complete any orders and even lost my phone.
However, Pei Yun Shen was not someone he could afford to offend, so he could only watch helplessly as the man walked away.
Once in the car, Pei Yun Shen immediately called Feng Jue, his expression indignant.
They're practically inseparable, are they really going to fall out over one or two women?
It doesn't matter how much they fight amongst themselves, but if it involves family interests and money, then Feng Jue is in the wrong. Isn't that incredibly narrow-minded?
Feng Jue never answers calls from strangers; he blocks them immediately.
Pei Yun Shen tried calling several times but couldn't get through. Frustrated, he rolled down the car window and threw his phone out.
When they arrived at the Cloud Villa, Pei's mother was already there.
Pei Yun Shen poured out all his negative emotions to his mother, who was indeed a good listener, occasionally helping her son curse Feng Jue for being stingy.
Soon, the sound of a car could be heard outside; Pei's father had arrived late.
He didn't come alone; a beautiful young woman who looked to be only in her early twenties followed behind him. Bringing up the rear was a young, vibrant boy.
When Pei Ma saw that affected woman, she didn't think much of it and assumed she was the newly hired secretary.
She could easily crush such a slutty and cheap woman with a single finger.
But when she saw the boy behind her, whose face resembled Pei's father by seven or eight points, Pei's mother immediately became furious and stood up abruptly.
"Pei Zhen, what do you mean by this? Who is this woman? And who is this little bastard?"
Pei Yunshen frowned, stood up with a serious expression, and stared intently at the boy with his hawk-like eyes, wishing he could poke several bloody holes in him.
"Wang Ruolan, watch your mouth. I don't need to introduce you, isn't it obvious? This is my son, and this is my dear wife."
The moment the words left his mouth, Pei's mother and Pei Yun Shen exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and rage in each other's eyes.
"Pei Zhen, explain yourself clearly. What exactly do you want? Don't forget, this company was left to you by my father. If you dare let that mother and son into the house, I will not forgive you. Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about behind your back?"
Mr. Pei sneered, “When the company was left to me, it was nothing more than an empty shell on the verge of bankruptcy. While I was working tirelessly day and night outside, you were at home spending my money, eating my food, drinking my drinks, and even cheating on me. Don’t think I didn’t know.”
Pei's mother's pupils contracted slightly. She hadn't expected Pei Zhen to know about this, but she felt no guilt whatsoever.
This man is lucky if he stays home five nights out of 365 days a year. She has nothing but endless money. Why can't she find a man?
“Since we got married, I can find more than a dozen green hats you’ve woven for me. Here’s the list. If you don’t behave, I’ll expose this, and then we’ll see who’s shameless.”
As Pei Zhen spoke, he threw an A4 sheet of paper at the woman's face. Pei's mother picked it up and looked at it; her face turned deathly pale, and she slumped onto the sofa.
Pei's father then looked at Pei Yun Shen, "And you, I have warned you countless times not to go against Feng Jue, but you just wouldn't listen."
Ever since you first dealt with Su Xi, Feng Jue has been suppressing the Pei family. But you two idiots know nothing about business except how to spend money, yet you insist that it's just normal business competition.
Now look what's happened; the Pei family's fortune has shrunk by half overnight. I had originally intended to leave you some inheritance out of consideration for our marital bond and father-son relationship, but you are unworthy.”
Pei Yun Shen panicked immediately. "Dad, what do you mean by this? Are you favoring a concubine over your wife? I am the legitimate son, what is this bastard who hasn't even grown his hair yet?"
Pei Zhen's face immediately turned cold. "Guards, slap him."
Soon, several bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses rushed out from behind, grabbed Pei Yun Shen, and slapped him several times across the face.
Pei's mother's heart was bleeding with heartache. "Stop hitting him! He's just a child. Pei Zhen, you kicked your wife and child out of the house and welcomed your little darling and illegitimate child in. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
“I gave you chances, but you were both hopeless and couldn’t be helped. Don’t blame me. Besides, you two idiots, one gave me a dozen colorful hats and the other ruined half of my empire. I have been more than kind to you.”
“I’ve said everything I needed to say. Your deposits, properties, and shares have long been transferred to my name. As for your secret stashes, I won’t search them. Men, throw them both out.”
The mother and son were both defiant, their faces contorted with rage, but they were no match for the bodyguards in black and were quickly thrown out of the villa.
The mother and son were so angry that they tried to rush in, but they were beaten and bruised all over.
The two of them took stock of their finances and slush fund, and the total came to no more than 2.5 million. How were they supposed to survive?
"Anya is coming tomorrow, and we need to buy at least a villa. How can we afford this?"
Pei's mother bit her lip and had no choice but to swallow her pride and call her girlfriends who she used to get their hair done and go shopping to borrow money. Her friends, who were usually as close as blood relatives, immediately changed their attitudes when they heard that she needed to borrow money. Not only did none of them lend her any money, but some even blocked her directly.
What's even more infuriating is that someone readily agreed to help her, which moved Pei's mother to tears, but the next second he disappeared and could not be found again.
Pei's mother was so devastated that she was on the verge of collapse. Nothing is more cruel than giving someone hope only to destroy it with your own hands.
Seeing his mother's half-dead state, Pei Yun Shen looked disgusted and could only call his good brother.
However, his experience was almost identical to that of Pei's mother, and even worse.
There was no other way; after much discussion, the two of them could only temporarily rent a small villa that was reasonably decent.
The next day, Pei Yunshen drove to pick up Luo Anya.
Seeing that there was no driver and Pei Yun Shen was driving himself, Luo Anya assumed that he valued her and didn't think much of it.
