Chapter 5: Is the master being too attentive to the little girl?
"It's insured."
The man's voice was deep and pleasant as he stared intently at her: "It's broken, but you don't need to pay for it."
No compensation required?
"Okay."
With the most pressing issue resolved, Pei Jinwu readily agreed.
Before leaving, I took a picture of the electric scooter's location.
Have Lou Ying send someone to pick it up.
Shang Shiyan followed her gaze and saw an inconspicuous electric scooter parked in the corner.
The car body was a bit old and looked unremarkable.
But those in the know can tell at a glance that this is not an ordinary electric vehicle, but one that has been modified with top-of-the-line equipment, and its performance is even better than some cars.
The cost is at least five million.
Riding a five-million-dollar bike, arriving at the black market alone, and still managing to take on five opponents single-handedly...
A fake heiress?
A doormat?
Shang Shiyan withdrew his gaze and looked at the girl who had gotten into the car and was swinging her toes to look out the window.
The deeper meaning in the man's eyes was even more pronounced.
——
Inside the train carriage.
It was unusually quiet.
Feng Xing and Feng Zhi would occasionally glance at the girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Pei Jinwu stood with her legs together, her schoolbag on her lap, a candy in her mouth, and looked out the window with a calm expression.
With her docile appearance, it's hard to associate her with the image of a "fighter" who can take on five opponents at once.
They escaped unharmed and completely safe.
That's amazing.
"Thank you for yesterday."
Shang Shiyan turned his head slightly and looked at the girl who was eating candy obediently with her hands in her pockets: "Shang Shiyan, nice to meet you."
The man extended his hand, a hint of warmth appearing on his aloof and noble face.
"My surname is Pei."
The girl turned her head to the side, did not reach out, but merely raised her eyes slightly: "Helping others is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, no need to be polite."
Is helping others a pleasure?
Shang Shiyan smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and said softly, "If you need any help in the future, Miss Pei, please feel free to contact me."
As he spoke.
I naturally took out my phone, and then naturally opened WeChat to add a friend's QR code.
"..."
Pei Jinwu initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought about it again and realized that the S Alliance's stronghold was in the Northern Continent.
She really didn't know much about the Northern Continent.
Getting to know someone is also a good thing.
"OK."
Pei Jinwu took out her phone, ready to scan the QR code to add someone, when Feng Zhi in the passenger seat suddenly spoke:
"Master, the old lady sent you a message asking about the jade bracelet. How should I reply?"
Jade bracelet?
Pei Jinwu paused, pointing to his fingertip.
"We can't exactly tell her that you spent 30 million and still couldn't get the bracelet back!"
Thirty million?
Pei Jinwu looked at Shang Shiyan, her brows furrowing.
turn out to be.
He's that rich idiot who inflated prices!
very good!
The girl's face immediately turned cold. She swiftly exited the friend request page and turned off her phone.
"What's wrong?"
Shang Shiyan's body stiffened slightly, and his deep black eyes flickered with doubt.
Why are you suddenly unhappy?
Could it be...?
Are you making noise?
Shang Shiyan turned his head, his cold gaze falling on Feng Zhi, full of warning.
"?"
Feng Zhi was so frightened he almost bit his tongue, and shut his mouth with a pitiful expression.
"Miss Pei, is there a problem?"
Shang Shiyan leaned forward slightly, a slight smile playing on his thin lips, his tone noticeably gentle.
"..."
Miss Pei crossed her arms over her chest, tilted her head, and closed her eyes.
Completely ignored.
The two were close enough that Shang Shiyan could clearly see the girl's appearance.
Her long hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing her small, delicate earlobes, and her exquisite chin looked even more beautiful and eye-catching in the sunlight.
His cheeks were tinged with a faint anger, making him look fierce yet adorable, like a wildcat with its fur standing on end.
Shang Shiyan thought the little wildcat was kind of cute and wanted to stroke her fur.
only.
The timing isn't right yet; I'm afraid of being scratched by claws.
"..."
The brothers Feng Xing and Feng Zhi twitched at the corners of their mouths, barely managing to suppress their laughter.
Having served his master for over a decade, this was the first time he had ever seen anyone dare to give him the cold shoulder.
Surprisingly, the master wasn't angry at all; in fact, he seemed a little...
Indulgence and spoiling?
——
Half an hour later.
The navigation is getting increasingly off-target, and the roads are becoming increasingly rugged.
It's okay if we don't investigate.
Isn't this the infamous slum in the capital?
Looking at the drizzling sky and the bumpy road.
Fengxing stared wide-eyed, gripping the steering wheel extremely tightly, as if afraid of accidentally driving into a ditch.
Just one round trip from this spot would ruin the chassis of a sports car.
Master, this journey was smooth...
They didn't even get his contact information, but ended up losing tens of millions.
Not long after.
The car stopped, and Pei Jinwu grabbed her bag and pushed open the door to get out.
"Miss Pei, please wait a moment."
Shang Shiyan strode out of the carriage, quickly circled around to the other side, and fixed his gaze on the girl. "Feng Zhi, umbrella!"
"yes."
The umbrella had just been opened when it was suddenly taken away.
The merchant held the umbrella in his left hand and opened the car door with his right, tilting the umbrella slightly to ensure the girl wouldn't get wet at all.
It was as if they were protecting a priceless treasure.
Feng Zhi felt the cold, icy rain slapping haphazardly against his face, and it hurt terribly.
very good.
The world where only he was injured has been achieved.
"Need not."
Pei Jinwu was not used to getting too close to people and was still angry, so she slipped out from under the man's umbrella.
"Thanks."
After explaining the proper etiquette, the girl put on her hoodie and quickly ran into the alley.
Oh my god.
Feng Xing and Feng Zhi were stunned once again.
Miss Pei gave her master the cold shoulder twice.
So cool!
"..."
Shang Shiyan stood tall and straight, not angry at all; on the contrary, the smile between his brows and eyes deepened.
Individualistic yet vigilant.
That's good too, at least I won't be easily fooled.
Only after the girl disappeared did Shang Shiyan return to the car, his face devoid of warmth: "Take care of those people in the black market."
"yes."
The wind rises and falls, and it's clear they're afraid of retaliating against Miss Pei.
only.
Isn't the master being a little too attentive to that young girl?
——
"We've found a school."
Pei Shu put down her lunchbox, wiped her wet hair, and said urgently, "The situation is special, so she can only attend a private school."
"The conditions aren't great, but at least there's always a place to go to school."
Pei Shu didn't even have time to eat. After telling Pei Jinwu the good news, she rushed back to work.
Pei Jinwu opened her phone and searched for school information.
The school is located in the city, but it is relatively small.
Because it is a private school, it receives limited funding and is not highly regarded.
Although the undergraduate enrollment rate is decent, very few students are admitted to top-tier universities.
It's obvious.
This is the best school my aunt could find.
It must have taken a lot of effort and time.
——
We've had lunch.
Pei Jinwu delivered the bracelet she had bought to the cemetery and placed it next to Old Master Shen's grave.
I talked with him for a while.
As I was getting ready to go home, Lou Ying sent me a message.
Ying: "Moon Mountain Residence has launched new products, want to try them?"
After wiping his grandfather's portrait, Pei Jinwu remembered his words of advice: "Live well."
Reply: "Okay"
An hour later.
Pei Jinwu arrived at Yue Shan Residence.
A renowned top-tier Western restaurant in Beijing, boasting a beautiful ambiance and excellent cuisine.
A place where upper-class people gather and discuss business.
The price is exorbitant, astonishing.
Which floor?
Pei Jinwu sent a message to Lou Ying as she walked inside.
Video: "Rooftop Garden"
Yue Shan Ju has ten floors, divided according to spending power.
The higher the price, the higher the price.
The rooftop garden is rarely booked and is generally inaccessible to the public.
"oh"
Pei Jinwu turned off her phone and walked to the front desk to register when a piercing voice suddenly rang in her ears: "What are you doing here?"
"?"
Pei Jinwu turned around.
Shen Yunrou, with her exquisite makeup and designer clothes, stared at her with displeasure.
"I have a reservation for the rooftop garden."
Pei Jinwu, too lazy to deal with the irrational person, answered the shop assistant.
Rooftop garden?
Even Brother Jing could only get a table in the lobby on the first floor. Does a poor girl like her know what the top floor means?
The top of the pyramid in the capital city.
Those qualified to go up are all members of the most prestigious and powerful families.
She's such a good actress!
