Hu Shih was always considered an outsider.
Moreover, they are quite familiar with these people's affairs.
Hu Shih cannot say that he understood Pei Zhi 100%, but he understood him at least 70%.
Pei Zhi didn't take Xie Cinian, Lu Mingxu, or Chi Xiuwen seriously.
To Pei Zhi, these three men were probably just products of boredom.
At least, Hu Shi didn't realize that any man was important to Pei Zhi.
Lu Mingxu jumped up excitedly, "You're talking nonsense."
"Why wouldn't she come back? Why wouldn't she come back? Stop talking nonsense."
Hu Shih raised his hands in surrender. Lu Mingxu was in agitated, so it was best for him not to provoke him.
When Pei Zhi woke up, she found that the place she was lying on was a bit bumpy.
Looking around, she realized she was on Xie Cinian's private jet.
He threw off the covers, stepped to the ground, and pushed open the door. Xie Cinian was working outside.
Why aren't you wearing shoes?
Pei Zhi looked down at her bare feet. "Is this the key point?"
Xie Cinian closed his laptop, took a pair of slippers, walked to Pei Zhi, and knelt down on one knee to help Pei Zhi put on her shoes.
Pei Zhi watched Xie Cinian's performance quietly and did not refuse Xie Cinian's service.
"Aren't you going to explain?"
“It’s too dangerous for you in the country. Our contract still has six months left, and I don’t want you to be unable to fulfill the contract by then.”
The reason was a bit perfunctory, so Pei Zhi snapped her fingers and said, "Fine, you're right."
Xie Ci Nian was not at all surprised by Pei Zhi's compromise.
We've been married for several years, so we know each other to some extent.
Pei Zhi wasn't really hiding; public opinion in China had reached a peak.
If she stays in China, it will be inconvenient for her to go anywhere.
If someone were to photograph Chi Xiuwen or Lu Mingxu visiting her, it would only cause a series of trending topics on social media.
As long as she stays in China, Pei Zhi can't help but go out.
As long as she stays in China, Pei Zhi can't control why Chi Xiuwen and Lu Mingxu don't come looking for her.
Pei Zhi's infidelity, no matter how you explain it, is a matter of moral and ethical issues.
If the news keeps getting posted online, and the authorities get involved, Pei Zhi's task will become even more complicated.
The Xie family's true stronghold is overseas, where they have a large business and a wide range of industries.
The Xie family settled in an estate, complete with a winery, sports field, and even an amusement park.
The vast manor was owned by only two people: Xie Cinian and Pei Zhi.
When Grandpa was still alive, the Xie family's collateral branches would occasionally come over and stay with him for a few days.
After the old man passed away, his will was clearly divided.
Xie Ci Nian is not an easy person to approach; except for major holidays, the Xie family's collateral branches will not come over.
The manor's private doctor is examining Pei Zhi's arm, worried that the long flight might worsen her injury.
"There's no problem. Keep the cast on, it's safer that way."
Pei Zhi lived in the manor, where she could truly say that she was waited on hand and foot.
After the aunt helped Pei Zhi wash her hands, she could eat.
At noon, only Pei Zhi and Xie Cinian ate lunch at a small dining table.
There were more than twenty dishes on the table, but the portion of each dish was small, so it wasn't a waste.
"Grandma's death anniversary is in a few days, and we need you to take care of it."
Although Pei Zhi had never met Xie Cinian's grandmother, she had taken care of all the previous memorial services.
"Um."
"Thirteen companies, and we don't need to invite the remaining twenty."
The thirteen or twenty families Xie Cinian mentioned refer to the descendants of the Xie family in this generation.
The Xie family has too many branches, with each generation having a new one, and wealthy people love to have children.
Therefore, we used numbers to represent the ages.
Without a doubt, it must be either thirteen or twenty companies, which made Xie Cinian unhappy.
They are not allowed to participate in events like the anniversary.
"knew."
Xie Cinian looked at the obedient Pei Zhi and said, "Behave yourself these next few days."
Pei Zhi put down her chopsticks. "What do you mean by 'behaved'?"
Pei Zhi considered herself to be quite well-behaved.
When she woke up, Xie Cinian had taken her on a plane. She didn't make a fuss and accepted it instantly.
If this isn't enough to keep things quiet, how can it possibly be?
“This is abroad, not at home. If you act like you would at home, I can’t guarantee what you might do.”
Pei Zhi understood the unspoken meaning behind Xie Cinian's words.
Xie Ci Nian was telling her not to go out and mess around.
This is abroad, and many people know her.
If she goes out and messes around, it will be Xie Cinian who loses face.
Unlike in the country, nobody knew she married Xie Cinian.
Pei Zhi pointed to her injured arm, "Big brother, I'm still injured, I'm powerless to help."
Xie Ci Nian raised an eyebrow: "You still have a heart?"
Pei Zhi objected, "Can't someone be disabled but determined?"
Xie Cinian wiped his mouth with a napkin. "Alright, come upstairs and let me see how you overcome your disability with determination."
Pei Zhi pointed to the wine glass, "Then go brush your teeth first, you just drank alcohol."
Xie Cinian frowned. "You still intend for me to serve you?"
"Unwilling?" Pei Zhi suddenly changed her attitude. "Fine, then let's all go back to our rooms and rest."
Pei Zhi's charming appearance is truly irresistible.
Xie Cinian bent down and picked Pei Zhi up in a princess carry.
"Then let's go brush our teeth together."
Hu Shi received Pei Zhi's WeChat message three days later.
Hu Shih immediately responded with a video.
Hu Shi was genuinely worried about Pei Zhi. "Are you alright?"
