Chapter 43 A Double Battleground



Pei Yue was carried out of the press conference by Pei Zhao'an's men that day, and when he got back, he complained to Old Master Pei!

Especially after learning that Li Han's weekend special was about meeting her blind date at a celebratory banquet at Le Xiang.

Pei Yue then devised a plan to take revenge on Pei Zhao'an!

Pei Zhaoan is a workaholic and hates blind dates at home the most.

If I get here and find out there are so many other blind dates coming along, I'll be furious!

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Pei Yue looked up and grinned wickedly. He wanted to maximize his uncle's hatred before Pei Zhaoan arrived, and then laugh as he watched his uncle be targeted!

"You three don't even know your own strength, daring to compare yourselves to my uncle Pei Zhao'an!"

"My uncle is definitely the most handsome and good man on the entire internet, I'm totally smitten!"

Si Jiuyin could tell at a glance that this young man was actually trying to flatter Pei Zhao'an to his detriment.

However, she's not the main character today; the main focus is on her smiling like an aunt on the sidelines.

Upon hearing the name "Pei Zhaoan," Li Han's eyes widened in horror.

The thing she least wanted to happen, has finally happened!

During her sophomore year internship, Li Han worked as Pei Zhaoan's trainee assistant.

Once, when she was preparing a data simulation video for Pei Zhaoan to use when meeting a client, she was bumped by a stranger colleague on her way to the meeting room with the USB drive containing the video, and the things in her hand were scattered all over the floor.

That colleague kindly helped her tidy up.

Afterwards, Li Han went into the conference room, gave the USB drive to Pei Zhaoan, and then left.

Less than half an hour later, the company's group chat exploded.

A senior colleague witnessed the incident: Pei Zhaoan was giving a video presentation to a European client, but when the file was opened, a Peppa Pig cartoon popped up that couldn't be turned off.

President Pei has never made any mistakes at crucial moments, but this one mistake caused him to lose face internationally.

Li Han then realized that she had been tricked!

The thought of the terrifying scene that would unfold after Pei Zhaoan opened the USB drive file terrified Li Han so much that she resigned overnight, not even taking her internship salary.

After that, she avoided all internships and projects at various companies owned by the Pei family.

Unexpectedly, I still couldn't escape it, and we met in the awkward way of a blind date!

"My uncle will be here soon, he's so handsome I'd rather avoid him!"

Pei Yue's voice was obsequious, perfectly embodying the arrogance of a petty person.

"All you blind date candidates, please leave now. Don't try to freeload on my uncle's yacht!"

Pei Zhaoan has always been low-key and mysterious, and no clear photos of him circulate online.

Therefore, these hate-inducing remarks made netizens restless.

[Pei Yue, what kind of person are you to talk about others like that? I don't think your uncle is any better!]

[Let's all get out of here!]

[So what if you own a yacht? Our CEO has one too!]

[You deliberately belittle your uncle and praise your younger uncle. Did your uncle offend you?]

So Pei Zhaoan's cousin was also here for a blind date?

Jing Duo sneered.

Let's deal with that idiot Pei Yue first. If we upset Si Jiuyin, what will happen to our own livelihood?

Just as Jing Duo was about to threaten Pei Yue with New Year's money, he suddenly noticed that six tall bodyguards had appeared behind Pei Yue at some point.

When Li Han heard Pei Yue say that Pei Zhaoan would be there soon, she immediately turned to Si Jiuyin and said, "Mom, I suddenly feel a headache. I want to go to the restroom first."

Si Jiuyin raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Go ahead."

In a panic, Li Han left the sofa booth, only to bump into a solid "wall" shortly after rushing out.

She was wearing high heels and immediately lost her balance, but someone grabbed her around the waist.

Li Han looked up and saw Pei Zhaoan!

"Clatter".

Pei Zhaoan's gold-rimmed glasses fell to the ground and broke due to the excessive movement.

He squinted.

"Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom urgently!"

Li Han quickly apologized and was about to leave when Pei Zhaoan grabbed her wrist.

Li Han was startled, thinking that Pei Zhaoan was going to cause her trouble, but when she looked up, she met his confused eyes.

"Sorry, my glasses fell off and I can't see clearly."

Without his glasses to cover his eyes, Pei Zhaoan's handsome peach blossom eyes were fully revealed, making him even more dashing.

"Miss, could you show me the way?"

"I'm rushing off to deal with the unruly kids."

It turned out that Pei Zhaoan was severely nearsighted. Li Han breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Pei Zhaoan to find Pei Yue.

*

Pei Yue was standing with his hands on his hips, bragging about his uncle, when suddenly he felt himself being lifted up by a strong man!

"Hey, hey, hey—what are you doing!"

"This is my uncle's territory, don't you dare mess around!"

Pei Zhaoan, dressed in a suit and tie, appeared behind the bodyguards, pulled by Li Han.

Li Han quickly let go of the person as soon as she brought them there.

Pei Zhaoan's slightly upturned lips instantly fell into a slump.

He looked at Pei Yue, who was tumbling in the air, and his expression and tone were exactly the same as when he was at the meeting last time.

"Take it away."

The bodyguards immediately carried Pei Yue out like a young bride.

"I'm sorry, everyone, Pei Yue has never been very bright since he was a child."

Pei Zhaoan's sharp eyes swept over the sofa booths.

He wore a polite smile, and his ivory black suit made him look refined and dignified: "Please excuse my poor appearance."

The viewers who were initially criticizing Pei Zhaoan along with him suddenly found their fingers clicking on the keyboard.

I simply said, "Hi, honey."

[It turns out Pei Yue wasn't bragging; this guy really did impress me the moment he appeared.]

The male lead in the CEO romance novel I was reading now has a face!

[I knew it! How could anyone chosen by CEO Si be bad!]

[Oh my, Li Han came with President Pei!]

As soon as Pei Zhaoan finished speaking, he glanced at Jing Duo.

“However, cousin, Pei Yue is right about one thing.”

Pei Zhaoan narrowed his eyes: "For someone your age to meet a 21-year-old girl is definitely an old cow eating young grass."

Jing Duo initially found it quite amusing to see Pei Yue being carried out for a second time.

Upon hearing Pei Zhaoan's words, his eyes turned cold.

"My younger brother is still my younger brother; his manners need improvement."

There was an undercurrent between the two, and Si Jiuyin simply sat down with a fruit platter to watch.

She elegantly picked up a slice of watermelon and put it in her mouth. The plot of this TV series is so exciting!

Viewers who love gossip also found it very exciting!

[OMG, this blind date is already a massive battleground from the very beginning! More of this is coming, I love watching!]

[Hey, hey, hey, those three male guests from before, these two are stealing the show! Stop playing supporting roles!]

[Support! Winery heir, trendy brand scion, and academic star—you guys need to make yourselves known!]

[Stop fighting! The six of us performing the double-length version of "Burning Winter" is more important than anything else!]

Just as Pei Zhaoan and Jing Duo were at an impasse, Sang Shouxu, the winery heir who had been watching the show from the sidelines, suddenly looked at Li Han with a mocking expression: "Miss Li, say something."
