Chapter 123 Who's trying to steal my man?
After dinner, Pei Wu took Pei Zhen to buy clothes.
If the brother and sister hadn't firmly refused, Lu Xiwen would have almost been sent to a high-end custom-made studio.
“We don’t need them.” Pei Wu pulled Pei Zhen into a mid-range luxury store. “We wear school uniforms most of the time. It’s almost autumn, so we might as well buy a few warm sweaters.”
Pei Zhen thought so too, and nodded repeatedly.
Lu Xi, realizing he couldn't win the argument with the two, crossed his arms and waited to the side.
While Pei Wu was paying, Lu Xi heard this and excitedly said to Pei Zhen, "When you get into S University, I'll throw you an adult party, find that famous designer from France to create a unique set of jewelry for you, and a gorgeous princess dress."
Pei Zhen: "...Could I have a scepter?"
Lu Xiwen: "Of course, I can even get you a golden dragon throne!"
Pei Zhen: "..." She was joking, but Lu Xiwen obviously wasn't.
After buying the clothes, Pei Zhen greedily ordered a Häagen-Dazs ice cream. She licked it twice, quite satisfied. "Brother, I'll head back now."
Pei Wu frowned: "Stay here for the night."
“I’m not staying here.” Pei Zhen said meaningfully, “It wouldn’t be good to stay here.”
Once she settled in, Zhang Wenxiu would have many different thoughts.
Pei Zhen insisted on going back, and the high-speed rail ticket that Pei Wu bought for her was much more comfortable.
After passing through security, Pei Zhen turned and waved. She saw Lu Xiwen point to her pocket, and she instinctively reached in and found something. When she took it out, it was a roll of bright red banknotes...
When did this happen?
Pei Wu also vaguely saw it and looked at Lu Xiwen in surprise.
Mr. Lu remained calm about this, saying, "My sister definitely won't accept my transfer. Just consider it as buying her snacks."
Pei Wu was both amused and exasperated. She waved to Pei Zhen, indicating that she could accept the gift.
Pei Zhen clutched the banknotes tightly the whole way. Upon arrival, she immediately went to a nearby bank and deposited the money. Just as she finished, Pei Gaosheng called, "Didn't you tell your mother you were coming back? I've been waiting at the bus station for an hour, why haven't you arrived yet?"
"I took the high-speed train."
Pei Gaosheng paused for a moment: "Wait, it's not far."
Pei Zhen smiled sarcastically. Pei Gaosheng usually didn't care about her like this. Sure enough, after picking up Pei Zhen, the first thing Pei Gaosheng did was take her schoolbag, saying happily, "You've worked hard, young lady." He didn't even return it to Pei Zhen when they got home.
Pei Gaosheng was a little happy, his schoolbag bulging as he squeezed it.
As soon as they got home, Zhang Wenxiu, who was cooking, rushed out. A look of surprise appeared on her dry, wrinkled face, which resembled the bark of an old tree. She took the schoolbag from Pei Gaosheng and asked as she opened it, "How is your older brother?"
Pei Zhen: "Very good."
Zhang Wenxiu took out several pieces of clothing, which felt quite nice to the touch, but she was fatter than Pei Zhen and couldn't wear them. She rummaged through them, but there wasn't much left. Zhang Wenxiu raised her head, her expression deathly still, so much so that even the overhead light couldn't illuminate her. Pei Zhen even felt that she was filled with deep resentment at that moment.
"That's all?" Pei Gaosheng's eyes widened.
"Um."
Pei Gaosheng glanced at Zhang Wenxiu, then said, still unwilling to give up, "Your brother...your brother didn't give you any..."
"Money?" Pei Zhen continued, and seeing Pei Gaosheng nod silently, she smiled and said, "My brother said that once I get into S University, he will cover my tuition and living expenses."
Zhang Wenxiu threw her schoolbag at Pei Zhen's feet and went into the kitchen to cook, the cleaver clanging loudly on the cutting board.
Hearing the commotion, Pei Ming came out of the room, picked up Pei Zhen's schoolbag, and carefully searched it inside and out. Finding nothing, he couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath. Finally, he looked up at Pei Zhen and said, "Giving you tuition and living expenses, what does that have to do with me?"
Pei Zhen: "It had nothing to do with you in the first place."
Pei Ming was so angry he wanted to hit her, but Pei Zhen said calmly, "I will notify the Omega Protection Association. I remember you'll be expelled after one more disciplinary action, right?"
"you!"
Pei Zhen picked up her schoolbag and went back to her room.
It's called a room, but it's really just a small balcony that's been converted into a room. There's a folding single bed and a study desk. It's nothing like Pei Ming's big bedroom. Yesterday, Pei Gaosheng couldn't resist Pei Ming's pleas and bought him a high-end computer.
Pei Zhen wasn't envious at all. She knew very well that her path wasn't here, and thankfully, she had her older brother to back her up.
As Zhang Wenxiu cooked, tears began to fall. It was as if her "motherly" side had only come back to life after Pei Wuzhen left.
Pei Gaosheng had said in private that Pei Wu had already left home, and that Pei Zhen was a promising person and that they should get along well with her. However, Pei Ming could not allow Pei Zhen, an Omega and a girl, to have the same status in the family as him, so he firmly opposed it.
This family of three, both mentally unstable and clinging to each other for warmth, will likely be bound together for the rest of their lives.
Pei Wu was relieved to receive Pei Zhen's voice message confirming that she was safe.
At that time, he and Lu Xiwen were at the company. He said he was there to pick up a document. Because it was the weekend, there weren't many people working overtime, and the whole floor was empty.
Lu Xiwen found what he needed and was about to leave when he turned around and saw Pei Zhu standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall and handsome figure standing there.
Lu Xiwen suddenly didn't want to walk anymore.
"What?" Pei Wu asked curiously.
Lu Xiwen's eyes suddenly became very deep: "Haven't we tried working in an office before?"
Pei Wu was stunned for a moment, then her ears turned as red as if they were lit, her face looked very awkward, and she said through gritted teeth, "No way!"
No, it wouldn't do. The Alpha's pheromones swept over, but they seemed to have barbs, skillfully finding Pei Wu's weakest point. The invisible air pulled Pei Wu closer to Lu Xiwen, and Pei Wu couldn't break free. At the last moment, she could only say, "I give up."
Before I knew it, it was dark.
Lu Xi felt comfortable.
Pei Wu sat up on the bed in the cubicle, grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. Lu Xiwen caught it precisely as if he had eyes in the back of his head, then tucked it under his arm and did a side stretch.
Pei Wu: "..."
It takes a truly open mind to have survived being driven mad by Lu Xiwen in this lifetime.
Pei Wu stared at the ceiling and sighed for a while, then got up and dressed. The door to the cubicle closed, and no light could seep out. Lu Xiwen had excellent night vision and smoothly made a cup of coffee.
The coffee machine had just stopped working when the office door opened, and Lan Zhe's melancholy voice came through: "President Zou, we've already discussed this issue. I'm doing very well at Changrong and have no plans to switch jobs."
After hearing what was said on the other end, Lan Zhe sighed and closed the door, saying, "This isn't about money."
He put the things he was holding on his workstation and then turned on the light.
Turning my head, I saw Lu Xiwen. Even though President Lu was tall, handsome, and aloof, the impact of his presence was still absolute.
"Ah!" Lan Zhe couldn't help but exclaim.
Lu Xiwen took a sip of coffee. "Tell me, who's trying to steal my girlfriend?"
Upon hearing Lu Xiwen's voice, the other end of the line slammed down the phone.
