"What's wrong?"
Hearing Pei Zhi's gentle voice, Chen Jin cautiously looked back.
The person who had told him he didn't have his phone was now holding one and speaking gently to the person on the other end.
Xu Xingran called Pei Zhi to tell her that he wanted to go back to his hometown for a few days.
Xu Xingran doesn't have many friends in this city. He has people taking care of his daily needs, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
But Xu Xingran was too bored staying in the big house all day.
Xu Xingran was afraid that Pei Zhi wouldn't let him go, so he said, "I'll just go back to my hometown to take a look, and while I'm at it, I'll sweep my parents' graves. I won't wander off."
"I'll only be gone for a few days, and I'll be back in a few days, is that okay?"
Pei Zhi listened quietly to Xu Xingran finish speaking before saying, "I know, you're probably just bored by yourself."
"I support you in wanting to go back to sweep the tombs."
“But…” Pei Zhi said worriedly, “You’re all alone in your hometown. If something happens to you, I won’t be able to get there in time.”
The child in Xu Xingran's belly is the key to Pei Zhi's mission success.
Does Xu Xingran want to go back to her hometown?
No, that's too dangerous.
Pei Zhi asked, "What will you do when you're all alone?"
Xu Xingran was caught off guard by the question. He wanted to say, "It shouldn't be that easy for an accident to happen, right?"
But in such matters, his word doesn't count.
"Okay," Pei Zhi conceded, "when I'm free, I'll go back with you, alright?"
Xu Xingran listened to Pei Zhi say that he would accompany him back to sweep his parents' graves.
Xu Xingran was so moved that she didn't know what to say, so how could she refuse?
"I'll do whatever you say."
"That's good. I'm still in the car. You should get some rest."
Chen Jin didn't mean to eavesdrop, but the space inside the car is just that small.
Shen Jin initially thought that Pei Zhi was on the phone with Young Master Huo.
It wasn't until Pei Zhi uttered the phrase "all alone" that Shen Jin finally realized what was happening.
The person on the other end of the phone shouldn't be Young Master Huo.
Shen Jin is a journalist, and he is very perceptive about all kinds of news.
Pei Zhi, who just faced the camera and talked about her husband with a sweet smile, is now there.
Behind her husband's back, she was actually keeping a mistress?
Chen Jin dared not ask and could only pretend that he had not heard anything.
The car stopped downstairs in Shen Jin's apartment complex, and Shen Jin solemnly thanked Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
He stood at the gate and watched Pei Zhi's car drive away before shaking his head.
I'm a little disappointed. I thought Pei Zhi was different from other CEOs.
He's the kind of person who turns bad when he has money, and he's also very good at acting.
On the weekend, Pei Zhi, who rarely gets a break, found a club and planned to go horseback riding to relax.
Qu Miaoyu was stood up by her boyfriend, so she came with Pei Zhi.
The two changed into riding clothes and came out, with Qu Miaoyu teasing Pei Zhi.
"It's the weekend, don't you have anyone to keep you company?"
Pei Zhi smiled and said, "Didn't I come to keep you company?"
Qu Miaoyu repeatedly declined, saying, "I don't want you to come with me."
Pei Zhi snorted, "Too bad, the person you wanted stood you up."
Qu Miaoyu felt a little hurt by Pei Zhi's words. "He had a temporary job, and he has been apologizing to me since last night."
Qu Miaoyu said to herself, "Women should be more generous. Why bother arguing with men?"
Pei Zhi picked up the riding whip and fiddled with it in her hand.
"Don't invest too much in a man, or you'll end up being taken advantage of."
Qu Miaoyu introduced her boyfriend to a lot of resources and connections, and Pei Zhi knew about this as well.
Qu Miaoyu was happy, and Pei Zhi didn't bother to say anything.
"You'd better shut up. Why don't you reflect on your own behavior?"
Qu Miaoyu retorted, not to be outdone, "You're so generous, giving Huo Jiayuan hundreds of millions in a single transaction. What's this compared to that?"
Pei Zhi put her hat on properly. "He's my husband, what's your relationship with him?"
"If I remember correctly, I saw you holding a phone a few days ago, and in the interview, he seemed to have said that he was single?"
Qu Miao's face turned red and her neck thickened as she said, "He's a public figure, and for the sake of his career, he can only say he's single!"
Pei Zhi said mercilessly, "Why did he admit he was single? Because he wanted to please his fans."
"So, he'd rather lie to please his few fans than acknowledge you?"
Pei Zhi clapped her hands. "This is truly a touching expression of genuine emotion."
Qu Miaoyu was so rebuked by Pei Zhi that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Pei Zhi patted Qu Miaoyu on the shoulder, "That's why I said men are such cheapskates. If you treat them too well, they'll forget who they are."
"If it weren't for you, Xiao Chen would just be an ordinary passerby."
Pei Zhi warned Qu Miaoyu: "If you're just playing around, that's fine, but if you get really emotional, don't let him get too big for his britches. It'll be hard to win him back later."
Listening to Pei Zhi's well-reasoned explanation, Qu Miaoyu couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, why are you unmoved when Xu Xingran is pregnant?"
Qu Miaoyu thought that, given Pei Zhi's personality, she would simply have Xu Xingran have an abortion to avoid trouble.
Pei Zhi had just married Huo Jiayuan when she had a child with someone else.
If this blows up, it will be extremely detrimental to Pei Zhi and the company's image.
Pei Zhi's decision to have Xu Xingran give birth to the child was undoubtedly a ticking time bomb.
Qu Miaoyu did not believe that Pei Zhi was such an irrational person.
"Don't tell me you're soft-hearted," Qu Miaoyu scoffed. "You're not a soft-hearted person."
Pei Zhi straightened her collar in front of the mirror. "I'm too bored. I want to raise a child for fun."
Pei Zhiyun said nonchalantly, "Since I don't need to give birth, why shouldn't I?"
Qu Miaoyu frowned and pondered for a moment, then realized that Pei Zhi's words made some sense.
Why not? Pei Zhi doesn't have to suffer the pain of childbirth anyway.
Pei Zhi has plenty of money and doesn't need to worry about not being able to support her children.
Qu Miaoyu's mind started working. If she could get Xiao Chen pregnant, Xiao Chen wouldn't be able to appear in front of the camera anymore, right?
If Xiao Chen were to have a child with her, all that she had done for him would be repaid.
By the time Xiao Chen gives birth, she'll be older, her figure will be out of shape, and she'll want to return to the entertainment industry. By then, all her fans will probably have left.
The only difficulty is that Xiao Chen always takes medication after having sex with her, as if he's afraid of getting pregnant.
Qu Miaoyu pinched her chin, pondering how to change Xiao Chen's medicine the next time they met.
Pei Zhi tapped Qu Miaoyu's head with her riding crop: "What are you thinking about with that lewd look on your face?"
"It's nothing," Qu Miaoyu said with a smile. "I just suddenly realized that what you said makes a lot of sense, sister."
Men are all scoundrels; you can't be too nice to them, otherwise they'll forget who they are.
