Chapter 27 That Man
"What video?"
Pei Jiuyan took out her phone as she spoke.
He saw Yun Zhaozhao wearing a formal dress today and guessed that she was going to attend the banquet. Now that she was throwing a tantrum, he didn't dare to let her not attend. So after parting ways with Yun Zhaozhao, he found an excuse to get the invitations while having people try to stall Fu Shangluo. Who knew he was still a step too late.
He was too busy to check his phone, but when Xing Shangye mentioned it, he took out his phone and saw the video.
Pei Jiuyan watched a video that was only a few minutes long for a long time.
During this time, Xing Shangye regretted his sharp tongue countless times, and others frequently looked at him with accusatory eyes.
It could be said that the atmosphere at their table was the most awkward; no one dared to speak loudly at all.
Pei Jiuyan's aura was terrifying, and the two people sitting next to him felt it most deeply.
He had to bear the bitter fruit of his own making. Xing Shangye forced himself to say, somewhat guiltily, "It's just a video, it's... nothing."
He himself felt guilty saying those words; anyone could see the intimacy Yun Zhaozhao had for Fu Shangluo.
Pei Jiuyan slammed his phone face down on the table. Xing Shangye, fearing he might cause trouble, quickly grabbed his hand and said, "Calm down."
Pei Jiuyan ignored him, poured herself a glass of wine with one hand, downed it in one gulp, then poured herself another glass and downed it in one gulp as well.
Seeing his reaction, the others dared not speak, and Xing Shangye also dared not open his mouth. Just then, Pei Jiuyan spoke up: "I didn't know she could also do wood carving."
His voice was low and hoarse, which made people feel uncomfortable.
He originally thought that the person who knew Yun Zhaozhao best in the world was Pei Jiuyan, and that he even knew every mole on Yun Zhaozhao's body. But he didn't even know that she could do wood carving.
When he met her, he only knew that she was good at painting and dancing, but he didn't know that Yun Zhaozhao had also studied wood carving, which was taught to her by Fu Shangluo.
He knew that Yun Zhaozhao and Fu Shangluo were childhood sweethearts, and that he was the one who came later. He was the thief who stole the treasure, and he had been living in constant fear all these years.
Today's video made his fears come true; his little princess was about to be taken away.
Pei Jiuyan's eyes gradually darkened, and Xing Shangye was the first to notice that something was wrong with him.
"Brother, boss, don't do anything reckless."
Xing Shangye really wanted to slap himself right then and there. Why did he have to be so stupid? Why did he have to post that video?
And this lousy mouth, why can't it hold back?
However, Pei Jiuyan was calmer than he had imagined and did not do anything out of line.
Yun Zhaozhao, on the other side, had no idea that Pei Jiuyan was consumed by jealousy; she was happily eating her food.
The Fu family has invited some of the most famous chefs in Beijing today, so their skills are naturally beyond question.
Since becoming pregnant, her appetite has been erratic; sometimes she wants to eat everything she sees, and sometimes she feels nauseous just looking at anything.
Seeing her engrossed in her work, several of her close friends couldn't help but tease her: "Zhao Zhao, how can you eat so much? Did Pei Jiuyan starve you?"
"Yeah, that scumbag Pei Jiuyan won't let me go out, and he won't give me anything to eat."
Yun Zhaozhao said without looking up.
She remained calm, and for a moment, the others couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or not.
In the past, they definitely wouldn't have been able to do it, but considering that Wenshu had recently returned and that news of her pregnancy had spread, and seeing that Yun Zhaozhao had lost a lot of weight, everyone suddenly became suspicious.
Are you serious?
Xu Hanxuan couldn't help but ask, "How dare he treat you like this? Zhaozhao, do you need our help?"
"Sue him and send him to jail."
"Yes, arrest him."
The people at the table were speaking with righteous indignation.
Yun Zhaozhao was touched but didn't want to implicate them, so she smiled and said, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
"real?"
Xu Hanxuan was skeptical. "Zhaozhao, if there's really something going on, tell us. Although we can't compare to Pei Jiuyan's family and business, three heads are better than one."
"Yes, I've disliked him for a long time. What's going on between him and that clerk? They say he's her god-sister, but who knows if she really is her god-sister."
"And the child in Wenshu's belly, that old woman from the Pei family said that it is the Pei family's grandson."
A group of people started discussing it. Yun Zhaozhao raised an eyebrow; she hadn't expected the matter to become so widely known.
Pei Jiuyan's secrecy is really poor.
Oh, they never even considered keeping it a secret.
Yun Zhaozhao felt that there was some hope for her divorce. Why didn't she think of that?
Although Pei Jiuyan said that the child in Wenshu's belly wasn't his, it doesn't matter, the child in Wenshu's belly can be his.
Yun Zhaozhao's eyes lit up, feeling that today's meal was worthwhile.
After dinner, Yun Zhaozhao obediently went to chat with Grandpa Fu, but they didn't chat for very long, as too many people wanted to talk to him.
Upon seeing the arrival of the person, Yun Zhaozhao took the opportunity to say goodbye: "Grandpa Fu, you're too busy. We can't even have a proper chat. I'll come and keep you company another day when you have some free time."
Yun Zhaozhao said this in a charmingly naive way, and that's exactly what Old Master Fu liked about her.
The younger generation in the family are all afraid of him, and none of them dare to act spoiled with him.
He really wanted Yun Zhaozhao to be his granddaughter-in-law, but alas...
He patted Yun Zhaozhao's hand, "Then it's settled, anyone who doesn't come is a little dog."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Fu, I definitely won't be a puppy."
Yun Zhaozhao made a fool of herself and successfully left. She had asked Zhou Xiao to wait for her outside, but who knew that the ungrateful guy would run away first.
Fu Shangluo was waiting for her at the door. When she came out, he said, "I'll take you home."
Yun Zhaozhao quickly shook her head: "No need, Brother Shangluo. It's Grandpa Fu's birthday, you should spend more time with him. Just have the driver take me."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shangluo did not insist and ordered his servants to prepare a carriage.
With people coming and going, Yun Zhaozhao quickly said, "Brother Shangluo, please go inside. There are still guests here."
Having said that, Fu Shangluo could only go in first, but before going in, he glanced at Yun Zhaozhao and said, "I promised to come and eat loquats this year."
Yun Zhaozhao was about to cry; when did her credibility become so bad?
"What's wrong with you all? Grandpa Fu and you are both reminding me that I'm a liar."
"I'm not a liar, I'm just a little absent-minded. We were afraid you'd forget."
Fu Shangluo looked at Yun Zhaozhao with affection, after all, you forgot your promise to me before.
When she was little, whenever someone asked Yun Zhaozhao who her favorite person was, she would always answer that it was Brother Shangluo.
But later, she forgot about it herself.
Her favorite person has become someone else.
After Fu Shangluo finally got inside, Yun Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief and was waiting for the Fu family's car to arrive when Pei Jiuyan's car pulled up.
"Baby, get in the car."
Yun Zhaozhao pretended not to see it, and Pei Jiuyan was not annoyed. He simply said, "If baby doesn't want to come up, then husband will go down and carry you up."
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."
Pei Jiuyan was definitely capable of doing such a thing, and she didn't want to make things awkward, especially since they were still at someone else's house, so she could only get into the car with a dark expression.
As soon as she got in the car, Pei Jiuyan came over. Yun Zhaozhao quickly moved to the door, wrinkled her nose, and said with a look of disgust, "Stay away from me, you stink."
Pei Jiuyan's face darkened, and she chuckled softly, "Who doesn't stink? Fu Shangluo?"
Yun Zhaozhao didn't know what was wrong with this person again, so she simply ignored him. At this moment, Pei Jiuyan said again:
"Are you going to Norway to see him?"
"Was that man the same one that night?"
