Chapter 121 A Bunch of Morons
When Pei Jiuyan arrived, Yun Zhaozhao was still in a daze. Pei Jiuyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was alright.
Why are you here all alone?
He walked in and looked at the broken things on the ground. Realizing that there had been other people there before, his expression immediately became tense. He took a few steps to Yun Zhaozhao and carefully examined her to see if she was injured.
Seeing Pei Jiuyan like this, Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but think of Zeng Li's words: Although Pei Jiuyan is a scoundrel, he can protect her.
She never doubted this, not even when they were at their most broken.
She didn't know why Zeng Li, knowing Huang Chao was dishonest, still chose to continue the relationship. Was it because she couldn't bear to leave him, or because of the child? To outsiders, they were a unit, just as she and Pei Jiuyan were a unit to outsiders.
"Are you alright, Zhaozhao?"
Yun Zhaozhao remained silent, which made Pei Jiuyan increasingly worried.
"I didn't do it. Huang Chao and Zeng Li were here before."
Hearing that it had nothing to do with her, Pei Jiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned and said, "Don't get involved."
“Pei Jiuyan…”
Yun Zhaozhao called out, wanting to ask him how much filth he had shielded her from, but she couldn't bring herself to ask.
There is no answer to this question, because Pei Jiuyan can no longer remember.
"how?"
Seeing that Yun Zhaozhao remained silent, Pei Jiuyan frowned.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if the ceremony is about to begin?"
"Yeah, it's about to start. You seem to care quite a bit."
Pei Jiuyan's words were somewhat sarcastic. Yun Zhaozhao suddenly reached out her hand to him. Pei Jiuyan was taken aback and looked at her uncertainly. Yun Zhaozhao looked helpless: "Help me up, my legs are numb."
All romantic thoughts vanished. Pei Jiuyan knelt down on one knee to massage Yun Zhaozhao's legs, asking worriedly as he did so, "Can you still walk? Have you had any cramps lately? Cramps and leg swelling are common in late pregnancy. When did it start for you?"
Pei Jiuyan asked several questions in a row, and Yun Zhaozhao said impatiently, "Shut up!"
Pei Jiuyan immediately fell silent.
He pressed down, and Yun Zhaozhao felt better. She gently kicked him to indicate that it was okay, but Pei Jiuyan did not let go. Instead, he continued to press for a while before slowly reaching out to help her up.
"Slow down, check if your leg is feeling any better."
He was bent over, and Yun Zhaozhao could see his serious profile when she looked down. Some words rolled around in her throat, but she didn't say them in the end.
"It's alright now."
She moved her legs and let go of his hand. "Let's go."
The two arrived at the hotel lobby one after the other. The ceremony was in progress. Wenshu, dressed in a white dress, stood happily beside Fu Shangluo. Fu Shangluo's expression was not good; compared to her elaborate attire, he seemed somewhat perfunctory.
The ceremony was hastily completed with the emcee's introduction, and anyone could see his dissatisfaction with the engagement.
Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but look at Fu Shangluo's father, mother, and Fu Le. Their faces didn't show any happiness. The only happy people present were probably Wenshu and Pei Jiuyan.
Although Pei Jiuyan didn't say anything, Yun Zhaozhao could still feel his pleasure from him.
She couldn't help but say, "Even married couples can get divorced, let alone engaged ones."
Pei Jiuyan's joy vanished instantly, but he quickly cheered up again, lowering his voice to say, "That child is indeed Fu Shangluo's."
He has many capable subordinates; if someone is determined to investigate, they will naturally find clues.
At this point, he had to admire Wenshu. She was indeed a terrifying person who could turn the tide even in dire straits. Knowing that she wouldn't let him go, Huang Chao lost interest in her, and she immediately clung to Fu Shangluo as her powerful ally.
It's only because Fu Shangluo is so stupid that he could be manipulated by her. If it were him... no, that wouldn't be possible. He wouldn't allow that to happen.
Seeing his confident expression, Yun Zhaozhao knew he must know something. She didn't ask, but she thought Wenshu was amazing. She had previously thought that the child in Wenshu's belly was not Fu Shangluo's.
Although many people were invited to today's engagement banquet, it was not a grand affair, mainly because the Fu family did not put in the effort.
The guests could naturally discern the status of the document from the Fu family's attitude, and they all formed their own judgments about this future eldest daughter-in-law of the Fu family. Even some of the document's former friends did not understand.
Gong Xue and the others looked at Wenshu with complicated expressions: "Wenshu, what exactly is going on? Isn't Pei Jiuyan the person you like? Why are you with Fu Shangluo?"
Her family kept telling her not to get too close to the scribe, but she wouldn't listen. She felt sorry for the scribe, who had done so much for Pei Jiuyan, but because of Yun Zhaozhao, he never had a proper title.
In their hearts, Wenshu and Pei Jiuyan were a couple, while Yun Zhaozhao was the villain who used her family background to separate the two.
Everything that happened today made it impossible for them to deceive themselves any longer; the documents were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Faced with his friend's questioning, Wenshu forced a smile, looking rather pitiful: "What can I do? I have no choice. Brother Jiu was deceived by Yun Zhaozhao. He doesn't even care about his mother anymore, and he's single-mindedly trying to get rid of me. I... have no choice."
Her words seemed plausible, but Gong Xue quickly realized she wasn't that kind of person. Gong Xue comforted her, "Professor Fu is much better than Pei Jiuyan, and with him around, Pei Jiuyan wouldn't dare do anything to you. You should stay with Professor Fu."
"He was just pitying me..."
As the document was being written, the smile on the document's face faded, and it made the person look even more frail.
Gong Xue and the others comforted her for a few words before leaving.
After they left, a man emerged from the corner and sneered, saying:
"Pshaw, is this what socialites are like? They all seem to have no brains."
The person who arrived was Jiang Yi. At this moment, the clerk's face no longer showed the previous gentleness; instead, it was frighteningly gloomy.
"How's the matter I asked you to handle going?"
"I've already tested it out for you."
Jiang Yi glanced at the document and said, "Your guess is correct, Pei Jiuyan has lost her memory."
Although Pei Jiuyan tried his best to hide it, he still noticed the difference.
If Pei Jiuyan truly knew him, he wouldn't have acted that way.
"really!"
The document pursed her lips. She knew that her previous news was true: Pei Jiuyan had lost his memory, and she had actually been deceived by him.
What do you want to do now?
Jiang Yi asked with amusement.
I need your help!
The clerk looked at him and said.
Jiang Yi chuckled: "Do you think I'm one of those idiots? I won't get involved in your affairs with Pei Jiuyan."
As he was about to leave, the clerk said:
"Don't you want Pei Jiuyan's business?"
"Now that he has amnesia, it is the best time."
Jiang Yi stopped in his tracks.
