Liang Shaojie's warm face was almost touching Xu Zhengxi's cold face when, just two centimeters away, he was ruthlessly pushed away.
"Master~~" Liang Shaojie blinked his peach blossom eyes and spoke in a melodious voice.
Despite her physical discomfort, Xu Zhengxi stood up and walked to the window:
“Yu Neng Mining is currently in talks about two major projects. They have big ambitions and are betting all their money on them.”
Liang Shaojie leaned back on the sofa:
"Isn't Yu Neng Mining a business owned by a relative of the Pei family? Are you going to help them?"
Xu Zhengxi stood with his back to the window, his expression inscrutable.
"I need you to take action and bankrupt him."
"You you you you..." Liang Shaojie stammered, pointing at Xu Zhengxi, his previous affected manner gone.
"That's your maternal grandfather's younger brother~ What's your... title again? Uncle? Uncle... maternal grandfather?"
Xu Zhengxi's tone was icy:
Who cares who he is?
"He had business dealings with Xu Shixin, and it was he who tipped off the Xu family about Xu Zhe's kidnapping!"
Liang Shaojie stopped trying to persuade him; no wonder Xu Zhengxi wanted to get back at him.
Some people just have a sharp tongue! They can't be good relatives, they just have to cause trouble!
This is it, we're doomed! If Liang Shaojie intervenes, won't his old uncle be back to square one overnight?!
“Okay, my lord,” Liang Shaojie replied.
Xu Zhengxi's stomach was a little upset from what he had done, so after a moment she calmed down, she asked, "When will the Eastern Europe project proceed?"
Liang Shaojie gets angry whenever he hears the words "Eastern Europe"!
This person kept urging him to go there, because he was afraid that once he went, he would never return.
He hasn't even touched Bei Xiaoyu's hand, how could he bear to be in a long-distance relationship with her!
"If you ruin your grandfather's and brother's businesses, I'll go there myself, okay?" Liang Shaojie said irritably.
"No," Xu Zhengxi replied decisively.
"You...!" Liang Shaojie choked, unable to catch his breath!
Xu Zhengxi continued, "You can hand over the matter of Yu Neng Mining. You need to go to Eastern Europe immediately!"
Liang Shaojie shouted:
"Xu Zhengxi, you are so heartless!"
"She's surrounded by beautiful women every day, completely oblivious to the fact that her brother's bed is cold!"
"What will happen to Bei Xiaoyu if I go?!"
He didn't dare say anything without even touching her hand, afraid of being laughed at.
Xu Zhengxi glared at him: "You've been dragging your feet and delaying such an important project all because of Bei Xiaoyu?!"
Liang Shaojie fell silent, feeling guilty after Xu Zhengxi's question...
"Pack your things and head over first thing tomorrow morning!" Xu Zhengxi said, lowering his eyes. "As for Bei Xiaoyu..."
"Bei Xiaoyu? What's wrong?!" Xu Zhe pushed the door open and heard Bei Xiaoyu's voice as soon as he opened it.
"Why did you come here?" Xu Zhengxi's face brightened instantly.
Liang Shaojie: Damn! That's how he treats Xu Zhe!
Brotherly affection is shallow, not even as strong as a woman's sweet, coquettish voice...
"I asked Butler Zhou and found out he was in the study before I came over," Xu Zhe explained.
Liang Shaojie: Him?! The eldest son of the Liang family, the head of the Liang Group, doesn't he deserve to have a name?!
"Are you talking about Bei Xiaoyu?" Xu Zhe thought they were discussing something important, but they were actually talking about her roommate?!
“You can’t give him advice!” Xu Zhe ordered Xu Zhengxi.
Upon hearing this, Liang Shaojie objected and started yelling:
"I need his help to come up with ideas?!"
"You know nothing about my charm, strength, or stamina!"
Xu Zhe sighed: Liang Shile's older brother doesn't seem to be very bright; the Liang family business fell into his hands...
She shook her head and changed the subject: "Why was Si Kangzhu beaten?"
Xu Zhe came to ask this question.
"And your back, you wouldn't talk about it when we asked you at the hospital, was it also whipped?!"
Xu Zhe also came to ask about this.
Liang Shaojie perked up immediately: What? Back? Hospital?
Hsu Cheng-hsi is in such a hurry, taking off her clothes in the hospital?!
He was whipped? I didn't hear him mention that!
Honestly! You didn't even show it to your brothers so we could all have some fun together!
Xu Zhengxi gently patted her shoulder:
"Si Kangzhu is punishing himself for his mistakes according to the Pei family's rules."
“He was carefully raised by his grandfather and my maternal grandfather from a young age. In addition to teaching him a lot of skills, they also shaped his ideology.”
"Changing his rigid view of rules is not something that can be done overnight. So I agree to his request to be punished."
Xu Zhe stared blankly, seemingly understanding yet not quite...
Liang Shaojie: Holy crap, this is the most insidious explanation I've ever heard for punishing someone!
He clearly wanted to stand up for women, but he insisted on claiming that others had been brainwashed since childhood and that he had to fight back against himself?
Xu Zhengxi...how scary!
"I'll set off tomorrow!" Liang Shaojie volunteered, he was afraid of Xu Zhengxi.
"Alright!" Xu Zhengxi opened the study door. "Go back and prepare as soon as possible."
Liang Shaojie: "......"
Are you just sending them away like that?! You got them and then kicked them out?!
How is this any different from a scumbag?!
Liang Shaojie stormed off, leaving his body cold and lifeless without a trace of regret.
There were only two people left in the study.
Xu Zhe walked behind Xu Zhengxi without saying a word, took off his suit jacket, and pulled open his shirt...
On his strong, straight back, there were two long, dark red wounds that had not yet scabbed over.
As the warm fingertips stroked the wound, Xu Zhe felt a sharp pain in his eyes and heart.
"Does it hurt?" she asked him, then gently breathed on the wound.
"It doesn't hurt."
Xu Zhengxi was telling the truth. At that time, Xu Zhe was so anxious that he couldn't see him that he didn't feel any pain at all.
Actually, it's a little itchy now...
He began to have some distractions.
"Was it your grandfather who hit him?" Xu Zhe asked, voicing her suspicion.
"Yes." He didn't hide it from her.
"Why?" Xu Zhe frowned, his breathing becoming rapid.
Warm breath kept blowing on Xu Zhengxi's back, making his Adam's apple bob... It tickles so much~
"Why did I hit you?" Xu Zhe asked again when he didn't hear an answer.
"Angry." Xu Zhengxi's throat went dry, and a surge of heat spread throughout his body from his back...
"Why are you angry?" Xu Zhe continued to ask.
Xu Zhengxi smiled, turned around, and pulled the person into her arms.
"You want to know?" His hand went through Xu Zhe's hair, gripped the back of her neck, and lifted her head up.
"I want to know." Xu Zhe's voice softened. She sensed the calm before the storm in Xu Zhengxi's eyes.
"I'll tell you if you're a good girl." Xu Zhengxi bent his back slightly and gently bit her ear.
"Not here." Xu Zhe nestled in his arms like a kitten.
"Okay." Xu Zhengxi picked him up and carried him towards the bedroom...
