Chapter 60 Calling for Mom
Worried that something might happen to Yun Zhaozhao that night, Zhou Xiao went to her house to keep her company. She said with some emotion, "Now all your trending topics have been removed. Pei Jiuyan's short live broadcast reached billions of views. When the market closed today, Pei's shares all hit the daily limit."
"You have no idea how crazy the internet is. Everyone is saying how domineering Pei Jiuyan is in protecting his wife, and they're even discussing his looks. Putting everything else aside, Pei Jiuyan handled this matter really well today."
She and Whale were frantic at the time, desperately trying to reduce the heat, but all their efforts were in vain. Wen Jingyu even considered exposing his own scandals. In the end, it was Pei Jiuyan who resolved everything.
Seeing her excited expression, Yun Zhaozhao was speechless: "I thought you hated him."
"It is annoying, but to be fair, he handled this matter quite well today."
Zhou Xiao stated the facts truthfully.
"You're really easy to fool."
Yun Zhaozhao said that Pei Jiuyan's level was too high. Even Zhou Xiao was moved by what he did today.
Zhou Xiao was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Aren't you moved?"
"What are you moved by?" Yun Zhaozhao laughed self-deprecatingly. "Am I moved by the trouble he caused me, or am I moved by his brilliant acting?"
Zhou Xiao wanted to say that this might not be acting, but seeing Yun Zhaozhao's appearance, she wisely kept quiet.
She knew a lot about the inside story, and naturally she also knew a lot about the problems between the two of them.
"Oh, by the way, Mother Pei woke up today."
She remembered what her brother had told her: "Although she has woken up, her condition is not good. It seems that there is a problem with her nervous system. She has no feeling in her legs."
Yun Zhaozhao was somewhat surprised to hear this, but she only said, "You don't need to tell me about their affairs. It has nothing to do with me."
She's already being magnanimous by not kicking someone when they're down; let's just let it go.
There's no need to force a visit between people who don't like each other, just out of politeness. After all, she won't die from being criticized, but Pei's mother might really be driven to death by her.
As the two were talking, the doorbell rang. Yun Zhaozhao glanced at it and was not surprised to see Pei Jiuyan.
She ignored it. Then her phone rang again, which she didn't answer. A moment later, a message came: "[Zhaozhao, I just want to see you and say a few words.]"
Yun Zhaozhao pretended not to see it. Pei Jiuyan wasn't stupid; judging from her attitude, she knew that Yun Zhaozhao didn't want to see her and would definitely leave soon.
After chatting with Zhou Xiao for a while, she prepared to rest. Now she goes to bed early and gets up early every day to try to take good care of her health and have a healthy baby.
As she drew the curtains, she glanced casually outside and then froze.
She noticed that Pei Jiuyan hadn't left yet, but was still waiting outside the door.
It was snowing heavily today, and she saw that he was covered in thick snow.
Is this person crazy? He's only been recovering from myocarditis for a few days, does he want to die?
With a "whoosh," Yun Zhaozhao drew the curtains, wanting to avoid seeing or being bothered, and went straight to bed.
Half an hour later, she stormed out with a dark expression.
"Pei Jiuyan, have some decency! If you want to die, go find a place to bury yourself. Don't try to morally blackmail me, okay?"
Yun Zhaozhao said angrily.
She wasn't really concerned about Pei Jiuyan, but she also didn't want to take a life on her shoulders.
"Baby."
Pei Jiuyan's lips were already blue from the cold. He wasn't wearing many layers, and now he looked like a snowman.
Seeing him like this, Yun Zhaozhao's anger vanished instantly, leaving only exhaustion: "Pei Jiuyan, what exactly do you want? Do you want me to be grateful for your clarification today?"
"Fine, I don't want your Pei Group shares anymore, is that okay? Is this compensation acceptable?"
Pei Jiuyan hadn't expected Yun Zhaozhao to say these things. He said anxiously, "Zhaozhao, I didn't expect your gratitude. I did all of that voluntarily. I came here because I was worried about you, and also because I wanted to share my joy with you. My mother woke up, and I'm so happy."
Pei Jiuyan avoided mentioning her mother's leg disability, only talking about happy things: "She woke up this afternoon, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yun Zhaozhao interrupted him: "Why are you telling me all this? I don't care."
Pei Jiuyan was stunned for a moment, while Yun Zhaozhao's lips curled into a mocking smile: "What? You don't actually think I'd still worry about your mother, do you? Help! Just how pathetic do you think I am? Do you think I enjoy fawning over someone who doesn't reciprocate?"
"Your mom looks down on me, do you think I'd be so stupid as to go looking for trouble? I'm not a masochist."
"To be honest, if murder weren't illegal, I would have gone to the hospital to visit her at least once in a while. I don't know if your mother could have taken it. I'm not holding it against you because I'm kind, but because I don't want to have anything to do with you or your Pei family anymore."
Yun Zhaozhao said the cruelest words with the cutest expression: "Also, what happened today was really unnecessary, I don't care. To be honest, I don't know why you did all this, whether it's because you can't save face or because of something else."
"You can announce to the public that you dumped me, as long as you can disappear from my sight gracefully, I can cooperate."
"Yun Zhaozhao, do you think everything I do now is for my own ulterior motives?"
Pei Jiuyan suddenly asked.
"yes."
Yun Zhaozhao nodded without hesitation and said, "For example, right now I wonder what you want to get by pretending to be pitiful in front of me? Is it revenge that I'm pregnant with someone else's child, and you want to coax me back and then kick me to the curb? Although this kind of thing is very boring and others wouldn't do it, it might be different if it happened to you. After all, I've never really seen through you."
Pei Jiuyan had always known that Yun Zhaozhao's words were particularly piercing, especially to those who were hostile towards her.
I used to find it satisfying to watch her criticize others, but now that it's happened to me, I realize how painful it is.
“Zhaozhao…”
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Pei Jiuyan, stop doing these useless things."
Yun Zhaozhao was about to go back when Pei Jiuyan stopped her.
"Wait a minute, just a moment."
As he spoke, Pei Jiuyan quickly walked towards the car. Having stood for too long, he was noticeably unsteady on his feet. Yun Zhaozhao pursed her lips.
Soon, Pei Jiuyan returned, carrying something in his arms.
"Zhaozhao, let's give it a name."
The dog in Pei Jiuyan's hand was the same stray dog from before. He had washed it clean and trimmed its body. It had been eating well these past two days, and the little dog didn't look as disheveled as before. However, it was just a small mongrel and had nothing to do with being a valuable breed.
"I've already registered it, and we're waiting for you to name it. This is our dog son."
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."
Pei Jiuyan is fucking insane!
