Chapter 9 The love rival is richer than him
Because of the comic exhibition, this restaurant is very expensive, but there are still many people dining here.
Pei Yuzhi wanted to reserve a seat here temporarily, and it took him some effort.
Cheng Yun ran over breathlessly: "Why did you think of eating here? The owner here is my sister's classmate. Let's go, there are seats inside."
Pei Yuzhi didn't expect Cheng Yun to be useful. He asked casually: "Have you eaten? All together?"
Cheng Yun smiled without hesitation: "No."
He actually had an appointment with other people at noon, but how could those people be as important as Pei Yuzhi?
Following behind Pei Yuzhi, Cheng Yun carefully stole a few glances at him, and always felt that Pei Yuzhi seemed a little different.
During the summer vacation, the sports car he asked Jinchuan to buy had just arrived. Pei Yuzhi somehow got to know the news and insisted on going to Nanshan with him for a run.
During the run, Pei Yuzhi's car crashed. Fortunately, the protective measures were well taken. Although the car was scrapped, Pei Yuzhi was fine.
Otherwise, if something happened to the only child of the Pei family, Cheng Yun would definitely be sent out by the Cheng family to vent the Pei family's anger.
So after this happened, Cheng Yun was afraid and always felt powerless.
For more than half a month, Cheng Yun didn't dare to call Pei Yuzhi out alone. He always felt that there were too many friends together, and Pei Yuzhi couldn't remember to ask him.
As soon as he sat down, Pei Yuzhi's eyes scanned the surroundings casually.
Soon, he saw Huo Qiao's back. He was sitting in the middle, with the pretty boy arm in arm on his left, and Bai Xi on his right.
He pulled his lip and thought, he is really a master of keeping things balanced.
"What is Xie Jinchuan busy with after returning to China?"
"Ah? Mr. Xie? He, he joined the company and is usually busy."
Pei Yuzhi moved his gaze to Cheng Yun: "Why are you so nervous?"
In the original book, Cheng Yun is a character with much more scenes than Pei Yuzhi.
Although the Cheng family has some assets, it is not as good as the Xie family, let alone the Pei family.
Cheng Yun said that he was a childhood friend of Xie Jinchuan and Pei Yuzhi, but the two of them treated him as a younger brother.
Moreover, Cheng Yun has some special thoughts about Xie Jinchuan and is very loyal to Xie Jinchuan.
The book says that the fundamental reason for the decline of the Pei family's property was that Cheng Yun tricked Pei Yuzhi into selling his shares in the Pei family. When the truth was revealed, he had a big fight with Pei Xinyan.
Pei Xinyan was so angry that he had a stroke, which gave the Xie family an opportunity to successfully swallow up the Pei family.
Cheng Yun, as the protagonist's vanguard to attack Xie Jinchuan, should have a bright future after Xie Jinchuan inherited the Huo family.
In fact, Cheng Yun's ending was not good.
Cheng Yun looked a little flustered and said hurriedly: "No, no, hehe, I just mentioned Mr. Xie suddenly. I haven't been with him much recently."
Pei Yuzhi looked at him directly and said in a light tone: "It's like this, I thought you were upset because Xie Jinchuan and Su Su got together."
Cheng Yun's pupils shrank, and his face turned pale with fear, as if Pei Yuzhi's words were some kind of scourge.
Pei Yuzhi raised his eyebrows and then smiled lazily: "Ah, sorry, I guessed it."
His tone did not have that kind of annoying malice, but rather it was like the fun of playing tricks on classmates during puberty in middle school.
Cheng Yun was extremely nervous, he forced a smile, his lips trembling but he said nothing.
He likes Xie Jinchuan, how did Pei Yuzhi know?
"By the way, you still don't know what Xie Jinchuan did in Shanghai?"
"Mr. Pei, don't joke with me, Mr. Xie, you and I are good friends, but good friends can't know everything."
"Cheng Yun, you can still be good friends with Xie Jinchuan now, but it may not be the case in the future," Pei Yuzhi said with a smile, "Xie Jinchuan's biological mother was the lover of the head of the Huo family in Shanghai before she got married. Guess what's the reason why Xie Jinchuan and the two eldest brothers of the Xie family don't look alike?"
'Bang! '
A loud noise suddenly appeared in the quiet and elegant restaurant.
The guests were all startled and looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.
A young man with blond hair, wearing a trendy oversized T-shirt and a jingling necklace, looks like someone who is not easy to deal with.
"Mr. Cheng, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need to be taken to the hospital?"
The manager and two male waiters hurried over, carefully watching Cheng Yun's face.
Pei Yuzhi's eyes passed through the gap and met Huo Qiao who happened to turn his head, and then separated.
"Don't bother, I was joking with my friend, maybe he was too excited and disturbed the customers in the store. Please ask the manager to send a dessert to all the customers on the table, and I will settle the bill."
The manager smiled and said to Pei Yuzhi, "Okay, Mr. Pei, you and Mr. Cheng, please sit down for a while."
After they left, Pei Yuzhi leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands on his thighs, "Don't sit down?"
Cheng Yun was silent for a moment, and sat back stiffly.
"Mr. Pei, I will pretend that I didn't hear what you just said."
Cheng Yun couldn't afford to offend any of the Huo family, Xie family, or Pei family in Magic City.
The Cheng family's business depends on the Xie family. If he knew these secrets of the wealthy family, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
Pei Yuzhi: "Don't be so nervous. You are my buddy and I will definitely not cheat you. On the contrary, I am helping you. The Huo family has a legitimate heir to the proud son of heaven. With him, Xie Jinchuan is an illegitimate child who will never be able to make a name for himself."
He laid the groundwork for a long time and finally said the main point of today .
"Okay, now you can talk about it. You have been looking for someone for Xie Jinchuan for so long. Have you found any clues? Where is the proud son of heaven hiding now?"
Cheng Yun's fingers trembled slightly, and he finally knew that today's meal was a banquet for the rich.
He didn't understand why such a secret had to be asked in such a noisy place.
"Two guests, your meal is ready."
A soft voice sounded beside him. It was Su Su.
He was carefully bringing the plate to the table.
Cheng Yun couldn't help but close his eyes.
Pei Yuzhi smiled and asked Su Su: "You haven't got off work yet? Why don't we eat together? I'll call Jinchuan over as well."
Su Su didn't expect Pei Yuzhi to be so nice all of a sudden. He blushed and waved his hand: "No, no, he's busy, you and Cheng Yun can have dinner."
Pei Yuzhi didn't force it: "Okay, it won't interfere with your work, let's get together another day."
Su Su blushed and left, and the place became quiet.
Cheng Yun smiled bitterly: "Mr. Pei, I'm flattered by your big show."
Given the relationship between Su Su and Xie Jinchuan, I'm afraid that if he and Pei Yuzhi have dinner here, and something unusual happens, it will soon reach Xie Jinchuan's ears.
Pei Yuzhi is using his method to force Cheng Yun to make a choice.
"You also said that we are brothers. I am helping you. Do you know the identity of the person you are investigating now? The Huo family in Magic City can crush the Cheng family with just a flick of their fingers. Those people in Magic City tacitly pretend that they don't know what the young master did in Dongsu, but you stepped forward and exposed his bottom."
Cheng Yun clenched his fingers, and he had already believed Pei Yuzhi's words.
Several thoughts in his mind were tearing his nerves wildly. Pei Yuzhi did not urge him, and took advantage of the gap to watch Bai Xi and Huo Qiao interact.
After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Yun said: "The person that Mr. Xie asked me to investigate is a junior at Dongsu University. His name is Huo Qiao. I just found out the information before coming here, and I haven't had time to tell Mr. Xie yet."
Pei Yuzhi froze, moved his eyes away from the top of Huo Qiao's head, and slowly turned his head to look at Cheng Yun.
He said in a light tone: "You said the young master of the Huo family is called Huo Qiao? He is a junior in the Academy of Fine Arts of Dongsu University, studying sculpture, Huo Qiao?"
Cheng Yun nodded, his face was gloomy: "Yes, it is the Huo Qiao whose boyfriend you want to steal from him. I really didn't know that he was the young master of the Huo family in Magic City. I just thought that Young Master Xie was not on good terms with this person. I won't be discovered by the Huo family, right? Fuck!"
Pei Yuzhi twitched the corner of his lower lip.
Oh, it's amazing, his rival in love is richer than him.
