If you can't remember Chapter 32, do you need me to carve it on a tombstone for you?
"..."
He saw the worried girl press him down into the sink.
Standing nearby were a middle-aged couple on the verge of collapse, yet utterly helpless.
They appear to be her adoptive parents.
The person who adopted her was ostensibly from the Shen family, but in reality, it was Old Master Shen.
Her adoptive parents were not kind to her.
Once he was sure the girl was alright, Shang Shiyan's rapid heartbeat returned to normal, and he dialed Feng Zhi's number: "Delete all the restaurant's surveillance footage."
"Master, are you referring to this restaurant where we ate?"
Feng Zhi paused for two seconds, then tentatively asked.
Why did we suddenly bring up the surveillance issue instead of going to see Miss Pei?
"Hmm." Shang Shiyan's gaze turned cold, his voice carrying an extreme danger: "Delete it to the point of no return."
"Also, find everyone who passed through the restroom between 15 minutes ago and now."
"I don't want any news about Wuwu hitting people to appear online."
Miss Pei hit someone?
Thinking of the scene where Miss Pei beat someone up last time, so ruthless and cool, Feng Zhi felt a little excited.
When did this happen?
He said earlier that he wanted to watch the game and learn from it.
"Yes, Master."
Feng Zhi hung up the phone and immediately rushed to the monitoring room.
There was a security camera at the entrance to the restroom, which captured Pei Jinwu beating someone up.
Wow wow wow.
Seeing Pei Jinwu shooing people away, Feng Zhi couldn't help but sigh.
Don't let Miss Pei's slender figure and young age fool you; she's incredibly cool when she gets into a fight.
From now on, I really want to be with my master...
Tsk tsk.
If a fight breaks out, the master will probably come out worse off, right?
The more Feng Zhi thought about it, the more he looked forward to this day.
——
After explaining everything, Feng Zhi finished.
Shang Shiyan stood to the side, his dark and deep eyes fixed on the little girl.
I want to see how she handles it.
Seeing that Shen Zhihua and his wife were terrified, and Shen Yunrou was half-dead and struggling to breathe, Pei Jinwu let out a soft laugh.
waste.
He's bad at the game and loves to provoke others.
"I told you, with Grandpa away, you'd better keep your heads down and not mess with me."
Pei Jinwu lifted Shen Yunrou up, making her face up towards him, his dark, bright eyes fixed on her: "Can't remember? Do you need me to carve it on a tombstone for you?"
"Cough cough cough..."
Hearing this, Shen Yunrou was terrified.
He wanted to beg for mercy, but his lungs were choked by water, and he could only let out painful whimpers.
"Don't……"
Shen Zhihua and his wife wanted to step forward, but they were afraid of angering Pei Jinwu.
She's acting like a madwoman now; who knows if she'll really hurt Yunrou?
"My patience with you is limited." Pei Jinwu patted Shen Yunrou's face, her voice indifferent: "If you push me too far, I'll settle all the old scores together."
New debts or old debts?
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Shen Zhihua exchanged a glance.
"When I was six years old, you locked me in the attic for a month while Grandpa was away, giving me only a steamed bun and half a cup of water every two days. Do you think I've forgotten that?"
She nearly starved to death that month, becoming skin and bones.
Because he was afraid of being hungry, he ate more than the average person.
"..."
Madam Shen opened her mouth to refute, but upon further reflection, she realized it was indeed the truth.
"And you!" Pei Jinwu looked at Shen Zhihua, her face pale and her eyes bloodshot. "Whenever the Shen family does something wrong, they blame it all on me. Drinking, gambling... which of these has anything to do with me?"
"..."
Shen Zhihua frowned and remained silent.
He never considered Pei Jinwu as his daughter.
What's wrong with feeding her, clothing her, and protecting her family from disaster?
"As for you..."
Pei Jinwu lowered her eyes, her cool gaze falling on Shen Yunrou's face.
Do I need to remind you of each thing one by one?
"..."
Shen Yunrou gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling.
"And don't think I don't know what you did to Grandpa."
Mentioning her grandfather, Pei Jinwu released Jin Shenyunrou, patted her face with his palm, and a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes: "If you want to die, then keep causing trouble."
Pei Jinwu owes no one anything, except her grandfather.
She had promised her grandfather that she wouldn't hold it against him.
Is the debt of gratitude enough...?
Anyone who provokes her will not be let off the hook.
"Mother."
Having finally escaped the clutches of evil, Shen Yunrou stumbled and crawled to Madam Shen's side.
"Let's get going!"
Shen Zhihua helped his wife and daughter up, and before leaving, he glared fiercely at Pei Jinwu.
This little bastard is too arrogant!
She knows too much about family matters.
If this continues, she might be able to manipulate us at will.
It seems we need to find a way to get rid of her once and for all.
——
Shang Shiyan, sitting in the corner, had taken in all of Pei Jinwu's words.
I like to eat because I was starved for a month when I was a child.
His infamy stemmed from being framed.
Perhaps there is still much suffering and injustice...
Shang Shiyan frowned slightly, not daring to imagine how much suffering he had endured to develop such a guarded personality that kept people at arm's length.
She's only eighteen years old.
A few seconds of silence.
The man stepped forward and gently draped his coat over the girl who was lost in thought.
"Don't catch a cold."
Pei Jinwu looked up and met the man's gentle face. Her voice was hoarse: "How long have you been looking?"
"In a while."
Shang Shiyan answered honestly, a smile playing on his lips, his voice warm: "Seeing you teaching them how to be good people, I didn't come out to disturb you."
Don't you think I'm bullying you?
Pei Jinwu's clothes were soaked through. She pulled Shang Shiyan's coat tighter, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I crippled them."
His tone was languid, and his laughter was unrestrained and proud.
If others saw this, they would definitely think she was bullying the weak and was not a good person.
"You must have your reasons for doing this."
Shang Shiyan gently wiped the water from her hair with a tissue. "If someone bullies you, you should bully them back. What's wrong with that?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu swallowed hard, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.
"The restaurant's surveillance footage has been completely removed, and there will be no further issues."
The implied meaning.
Even if someone is beaten up, or even if someone dies, there are ways to deal with it.
"..."
Pei Jinwu stared at the man quietly, her heart stirred by his words.
Despite having only known each other for a short time, he respected, protected, and helped me, and even trusted me unconditionally.
"Shang Dynasty inkstone..."
Pei Jinwu stepped forward, raising her fair face.
"Um?"
The man lowered his head slightly to meet her gaze, making it easier to speak: "What's wrong?"
The little girl took the initiative to get close to him for the first time.
I'm looking forward to what she'll say.
"I discovered..."
Pei Jinwu blinked, organized her thoughts, and said slowly and deliberately, "You're a good person."
Shang Shiyan felt a sudden urge to laugh.
Instead of issuing "Grandpa Cards," they've started issuing "Good Person Cards"?
How can she be so cute!
"Is that so?"
Shang Shiyan chuckled twice, his voice deep and resonant, "This is the first time I've been praised as a good person."
to be honest.
He's really not a good person.
There are some things that, if said aloud, might frighten the young girl.
"Here's some candy for you."
Pei Jinwu took out some candy from her pocket and handed it to Shang Shiyan.
This is her favorite thing.
Then he took out his phone and texted Lou Ying: "[Shang Shiyan's jewelry, plus a free pair of earrings]"
Lou Ying: [???]
Oh, a gift?
She didn't see wrong, did she?
Isn't Shang Shiyan her mortal enemy?
——
good evening.
