Chapter 52 The Adulterer
Pei Jiuyan stared intently at Yun Zhaozhao, his jaw muscles bulging, before finally squeezing out, "Zhaozhao, don't joke about something like this."
"A joke? Ha!"
Yun Zhaozhao laughed as if she had heard something funny: "You think this is a joke? Well, that's right, you've always been like this. You never take what I say to heart. You don't care about anything I say."
“When I say I’m in pain, you think I’m lying. When I say I want a divorce, you think I’m just throwing a tantrum. When I say I slept with another man, you think I’m just trying to make you angry. Now when I say I’m pregnant with another man’s child, you don’t believe me.”
“If it really were your child, I would have wanted it by now and wouldn’t have rushed to abort it.”
“Pei Jiuyan, do you know when I decided to keep this child? It was after I fell down the stairs.”
These words made Pei Jiuyan feel inexplicably flustered. "Stop talking, Zhaozhao, I won't believe it."
Yun Zhaozhao glanced at him, her eyes full of sarcasm: "I kept this child because I no longer feel guilty. I brought up divorce before because I was pregnant with another man's child and felt guilty. Later, I realized that you are not worth it at all."
"Pei Jiuyan, we're even now."
"It can't be cleared!"
Pei Jiuyan couldn't bear to hurt Yun Zhaozhao, so he slammed his fist on the car door, his anger barely contained: "Yun Zhaozhao, you'll never be even with her for the rest of your life."
"Don't try to provoke me with those words, I don't believe you."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Yun Zhaozhao scoffed. "The baby is almost two months old. Pei Jiuyan, so, do you still think this child is yours?"
Yun Zhaozhao's words completely broke Pei Jiuyan's defenses, and his face turned pale instantly.
He had been very busy with work and frequent business trips, and hadn't spent much time with Yun Zhaozhao in a long time.
They haven't slept together at all in the past two months.
Pei Jiuyan had always felt that nothing could hurt him more than Yun Zhaozhao proposing a divorce. Now he realized that with Yun Zhaozhao, there was no limit to his pain.
He was like an enraged lion, his eyes bloodshot.
"Who is it? Wen Jingyu? Fu Shangluo? Ning Xu? Zhou Yueming?"
He guessed every man who appeared around Yun Zhaozhao, and when he heard that Zhou Yueming was involved, Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but shout, "Shut up! Stop going crazy! You're despicable, but don't assume everyone else is as despicable as you. No matter what, I know that a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow."
"You can do something like having an affair right under someone's nose, but I could never do it."
She had already decided to find a stranger as the father for her unborn child, and she was determined not to involve her close friends.
Pei Jiuyan wouldn't listen. He stared at Yun Zhaozhao and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can still find out."
He will tear the person who dared to touch Yun Zhaozhao to pieces.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Yun Zhaozhao's eyelids twitched slightly, but she still said, "Then go and investigate."
She thought it over: Wen Jingyu was busy filming and not in Kyoto; Fu Shangluo had returned, but the two hadn't met; and there was even less connection between Yue Ming and her.
As for Pei Jiuyan, Yun Zhaozhao wasn't worried at all. Pei Jiuyan was so drunk that night that he didn't even remember what had happened, not even that she had secretly gone to see him that night.
This is also one of the reasons why she and Pei Jiuyan had such a big falling out before.
She was the one that night, so what if it wasn't her? Would he still have forced her onto the bed...?
However, all of that is in the past. She used to care about these things, but now, whatever, she wouldn't be surprised even if Pei Jiuyan slept with a dog.
The Pei Group has been having a tough time these past few days, or more accurately, the last two months have been tough for them. Rumors are circulating in the group chat that the boss is in a bad mood, and nobody wants to risk it unless absolutely necessary.
Assistant Qin had no choice. His subordinates could find all sorts of excuses, but he had none. Moreover, he had now taken on a hot potato.
President Pei asked him to investigate all the men the young mistress had been in contact with in the past two months. Judging from his attitude, he wouldn't even spare a dog. Then, thinking about the news that the young mistress was pregnant, he felt that President Pei was being cuckolded.
He spent several days investigating all the men the young mistress had been in contact with over the past two months, including himself. However, he was now hesitant to hand them over to Pei Jiuyan.
After a long period of persuasion, he finally knocked on the office door.
"Come in. Cough...cough..."
Pei Jiuyan kept coughing, and Assistant Qin didn't dare to delay and quickly went in to pour Pei Jiuyan a glass of water: "President Pei, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor."
That day, the young mistress went to the police station first, and then the madam had an accident. President Pei stayed up for two days and two nights. Even his iron body couldn't withstand it, and he fell ill in the past two days. However, he didn't rest at home and came to work on time every day.
Pei Jiuyan waved his hand to signal him to stop talking nonsense, took a sip of water, and then asked:
"Did you find it?"
"It's all here. We couldn't find the information about the days Madam was abroad, but the information about the domestic situation is all here."
Assistant Qin handed over a stack of documents, which Pei Jiuyan began to look through one by one.
Come to think of it, it didn't happen abroad, but rather within China. He wanted to see who dared to mess with Yun Zhaozhao right under his nose.
It must be said that Assistant Qin's investigation was very thorough, including all the waiters who had contact with Yun Zhaozhao. Pei Jiuyan flipped through the pages quickly, and finally, his gaze fell on a familiar name.
"Chen Boxu?"
Pei Jiuyan's gaze fell on the name, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Assistant Qin's heart tightened, knowing that he had noticed. If his guess was true, then the most likely person was President Chen. To be honest, he hadn't expected that the young mistress would spend several hours in a room with President Chen, especially in a hotel.
Seeing Pei Jiuyan's expression change several times, he forced himself to say, "President Pei, there might be a misunderstanding..."
Assistant Qin's voice gradually faded away because Pei Jiuyan's expression was simply too frightening.
"Get the car ready."
Pei Jiuyan spoke up. Assistant Qin originally wanted to persuade him, but seeing Pei Jiuyan like this, he dared not say anything more and could only bite the bullet and have someone prepare a car.
He was still afraid something might happen, so after Pei Jiuyan left, he secretly called Xing Shangye.
"Young Master Xing, help!"
Meanwhile, Pei Jiuyan rushed to the club where Chen Boxu was. Chen Boxu was hosting a banquet, and a currently popular female celebrity was sitting next to him. When Pei Jiuyan entered, everyone was stunned.
Chen Boxu was also a little surprised. "Why are you here? Please have a seat."
Pei Jiuyan didn't respond to that. He glanced at the others, and without him saying a word, they stood up tactfully: "Master Jiu must have important business with President Chen. We'll be leaving now. President Chen, let's reschedule."
After saying that, they all left, none of them wanting to offend Pei Jiuyan, this jinx.
Soon, only Pei Jiuyan and Chen Boxu remained in the private room. Chen Boxu lit a cigarette, his fox-like eyes hidden behind his glasses, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts.
"What's wrong with you? You look like you're going to settle scores with me. What did I do to offend you?"
Pei Jiuyan said directly, "I'll ask you a question, and you'd better answer me honestly."
"you say."
Chen Boxu also became more serious.
Pei Jiuyan pulled up a stool, sat down, and asked:
"What do you mean by your relationship with Yun Zhaozhao?"
