Chapter 81 Lessons and Instructions
The driver had been waiting on the side. When Pei Jiuyan got into the car, he quickly started the engine and drove to an upscale residential area.
"Go home for the New Year, thank you for your hard work."
Pei Jiuyan spoke up. He wasn't one to be considerate of his subordinates. He paid them more than three times the market rate, so naturally he expected them to put in more effort. However, he was a little soft-hearted today because of Yun Zhaozhao. Not everyone was like him, all alone.
The driver, who had been with him for many years, paused for a moment upon hearing this and quickly said, "Mr. Pei, I'd better wait. It's hard to call a car during the New Year."
Pei Jiuyan waved to him, signaling him to leave.
Knowing that he was a man of his word, the driver quickly drove off, so he could go home and set off firecrackers with his children.
Pei Jiuyan rang the doorbell, and someone quickly opened the door. Upon seeing Pei Jiuyan enter, the person in the lead called out, "Ninth Master."
These people weren't bodyguards; they were more ruthless than bodyguards.
Where are they?
"In the bathroom."
A man dressed in black went to the bathroom and brought the person out. If Yun Zhaozhao were here, she would definitely recognize who this person was, as this was the document she had always been very wary of.
At this moment, the clerk was deathly pale. She did not appear to have any injuries, but she was constantly sweating profusely, and her lips were also pale.
When she saw Pei Jiuyan, her pupils contracted sharply, filled with fear.
Pei Jiuyan sat on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and didn't say a word. But the more he acted like this, the more frightened Wenshu became.
She forced a trembling voice and said, "You can't do this to me, what if he finds out..."
Hearing her threat, Pei Jiuyan lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, a sneer curving his lips: "You've really gotten a sense of superiority from being a mistress? If he really cared about you that much, he would be by your side on a day like today."
Even if that person dotes on Wenshu, so what? To him, Wenshu is nothing more than a toy. On such an important day, he will only stay at home with his wife and children.
The document clearly understands this principle; if she had a choice, she wouldn't have chosen this path.
However, if she were useless, Pei Jiuyan wouldn't even glance at her. She was already obsessed; from the first moment she saw Pei Jiuyan as a child, she knew they were a group of people.
Pei Jiuyan witnessed her pretending to be well-behaved in front of the dean and then cheating others out of their things. She was terrified that Pei Jiuyan would expose her, but Pei Jiuyan only said to her, "You should do things cleanly and not let anyone find out anything."
That's when she started to like Pei Jiuyan.
She didn't understand what went wrong. She was the one who met Pei Jiuyan first, and she and Pei Jiuyan were clearly the same kind of people, but Pei Jiuyan fell in love with Yun Zhaozhao and even did not hesitate to 'be' a good person for Yun Zhaozhao's sake.
She couldn't understand why, apart from her face and her background, what made Yun Zhaozhao better than her?
I didn't understand it before, and I still don't understand it now, but that's not important now. What's most important now is how to survive.
"Brother Jiu, I know I was wrong, I will never do it again."
The clerk pleaded desperately, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to change Pei Jiuyan's mind. She knew how ruthless Pei Jiuyan was, and she was afraid she wouldn't make it through today.
Oh, right, Yun Zhaozhao...
“Brother Jiu, I can go and explain to Yun Zhaozhao. I will confess everything I have done to her and tell her that I lied to her.”
“Brother Jiu, I can try to help you get back together with Yun Zhaozhao.”
Before coming here, Pei Jiuyan had no intention of leaving any more documents. He had already sent the documents away in the hopes of saving her life, but who knew that she would try to run away and cause him some trouble.
He deliberately chose to take action today, hoping that everything would end within this year.
At that moment, upon hearing the clerk's words, he was somewhat tempted.
Many of his and Yun Zhaozhao's problems stemmed from documents; if...
The clerk had known Pei Jiuyan for so long, how could she not see his hesitation? She was both happy and jealous. She was happy that she still had a glimmer of hope, but jealous of Yun Zhaozhao's position in Pei Jiuyan's heart.
Whenever Yun Zhaozhao was mentioned, Pei Jiuyan would always have many concerns. Thinking of this, she added:
“Yun Zhaozhao is a princess who is pampered. She has never seen bloodshed before, so she must also believe that the people around her are clean.”
Pei Jiuyan narrowed his eyes: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, Brother Jiu, I didn't mean that."
The clerk quickly replied, "I analyzed it based on Yun Zhaozhao's personality."
Pei Jiuyan remained silent, her fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest as if she were considering something. Finally, she spoke, "Shuwen, I'm giving you one last chance."
The clerk finally felt relieved, knowing that she had saved her life, and quickly said, "I will go to find Yun Zhaozhao, I will go tomorrow."
"No need. Don't appear in front of her again. She doesn't like you, and just looking at you makes her angry. Don't make her upset."
Pei Jiuyan said coldly.
He was indeed very tempted just now, but in the end he gave up the idea.
Although the document was the trigger between him and Yun Zhaozhao, the bigger problem was his deception.
"good."
The clerk lowered his head, hiding all the jealousy in his eyes.
Pei Jiuyan's favoritism was so blatant and undisguised that she was almost driven mad with jealousy, but she dared not do anything about it.
Although she didn't look up, Pei Jiuyan seemed to be able to guess what she was thinking: "You've always had a bad memory, so I'm giving you a gift to help you remember it properly."
As he spoke, he gave a wink to the person next to him, who immediately taped Wenshu's mouth shut and dragged him into the bathroom. A moment later, muffled groans came from inside.
Pei Jiuyan stood there for a while and then, feeling bored, gave her a few instructions: "Give her a good talking-to and make sure she stops having any inappropriate thoughts."
"Don't worry, Ninth Master."
The leader quickly agreed.
"Go home early once you're done. Happy New Year."
After Pei Jiuyan left, it was still a while before the group reacted. Finally, the short guy said, "Did Ninth Master just wish us a Happy New Year? Am I dreaming?"
He had barely finished speaking when someone hit him hard on the head. He was furious and jumped up and down, but when he saw that it was their boss who hit him, he immediately fell silent.
Their leader muttered, "Looks like I'm not dreaming."
They had followed Pei Jiuyan for several years and were a group of desperate people who had done a lot for him. This was the first time they had heard him speak to them like this, and none of them could believe it.
"Are Ninth Master and Madam getting back together?"
The short man guessed that everyone in the capital knew about Pei Jiuyan and Yun Zhaozhao's affair, and of course they knew too. They felt it even more deeply than those people because Pei Jiuyan's personality had really not been good during this period.
The eldest brother thought the same thing, but he couldn't say it out loud. He just glared at his subordinate and said, "So concerned? Then go ask Ninth Master?"
The man immediately shrank back and dared not speak. Ask Ninth Master? Who would dare?
Over there, Pei Jiuyan was strolling leisurely down the street. It wasn't close to home, and it would probably take two or three hours to walk back, not to mention the cold weather. But Pei Jiuyan still chose to walk back because his house was empty, and he would be alone there anyway.
Such days are for family reunions, and there isn't a soul on the street. Pei Jiuyan has no idea how he got himself into this state.
Although he and Yun Zhaozhao had their share of arguments last year, they were still together after all. He believed that Yun Zhaozhao couldn't live without him. He had raised her so well, where could she go without him? He was like a pet animal, letting Yun Zhaozhao slowly get used to him. Once she was completely used to him, he would cut off all her social circles. He wished that she would only have him in her world.
Now, he has finally reaped the bitter fruit of his actions, leaving himself all alone.
Pei Jiuyan was preoccupied with his own thoughts, and he was less vigilant than usual on days like this. By the time he realized something was wrong, he had already been surrounded by others.
