"So, what does Wanwan think of her brother?"
As soon as Sheng Nan said this, two burning gazes turned to him at the same time.
A woman from Qinwan frowned slightly, her delicate eyebrows furrowing, her eyes revealing a clear displeasure.
Another gaze came from Pei Muzhi, whose thin lips were slightly pursed, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of coldness.
Sheng Nan: "...Ahem, it was my cousin who misspoke."
"What do you think of your cousin, Wanwan? Would you like to have another brother... to take care of you?"
This time, Sheng Nan was smarter. Although he didn't understand why the word "brother" made the "fake siblings" in front of him unhappy.
But since Pei Muzhi was their "sugar daddy," and they needed his help, they had to treat Qin Wan, whom Pei Muzhi cherished, with utmost respect, even though he was the eldest son of the Sheng family and Qin Wan's cousin.
Faced with Sheng Nan's question, Qin Wan subconsciously looked at Pei Muzhi. Her reliance and trust made Sheng Nan's eyes flicker slightly, while Pei Muzhi smiled with pleasure.
"The power of the Sheng family company is now in Sheng Jiang's hands."
Sheng Jiang, the original owner's biological father and Sheng Qing's adoptive father, is now the most influential man in the Sheng family besides the old master.
Pei Muzhi's meaning was clear: he wanted to support Sheng Nan and his son to rise to power and compete with Sheng Jiang for control of the Sheng family.
When Sheng Jiang steps down, Sheng Nan and his son, to thank Pei Muzhi for his help, will certainly not let Sheng Qing, this imposter of the Sheng family's eldest daughter, have a good life.
"Will my cousin always be good to me?" Qin Wan suddenly asked.
Sheng Nan was taken aback, while Pei Muzhi's eyebrows curved into a smile.
"What does Wanwan want?" Sheng Nan asked tentatively.
Qin Wan frowned slightly, feigning distress, but she quickly gave her answer.
"The shares of the Sheng family that originally belonged to me?"
Sheng Nan fell silent.
Uncle Sheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't sit still any longer. He was about to say something in rebuttal when Pei Muzhi's cold gaze swept over him.
"good."
Despite his father's disapproving gaze, Sheng Nan gritted his teeth and agreed.
"I..." disagree.
Uncle Sheng stood up excitedly.
Qin Wan glanced at him and said innocently, "Then you can continue to be suppressed by Sheng Jiang."
“I have an older brother and shares in the Sheng family; I don’t care about them.”
The simple phrase "I have an older brother" warmed Pei Muzhi's heart.
Pei Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 74.
If you don't care, why ask for such an exorbitant price...?
Uncle Sheng is not a clear-headed person after all; otherwise, as the beloved youngest son, he wouldn't have lost to Sheng Jiang, the eldest son.
It was only after giving birth to Sheng Nan, this bright and clear-headed son, that he saw a glimmer of hope.
"Dad, which is more important, a small share or gaining control of the Sheng family?"
Sheng Nan's question stumped Uncle Sheng.
And so, Pei Muzhi had the contract delivered on the spot…
After reading the contents of the contract, Qin Wan looked at Pei Muzhi with surprise.
Their eyes met, and Pei Muzhi smiled gently at her.
"This shows that my brother and I are on the same wavelength."
Yes, Qin Wan asked for shares in the Sheng family, and Pei Muzhi's goal had always been shares as well.
Therefore, this contract was prepared by his agent, Ming, long ago.
After the contract was signed, Pei Muzhi smiled with satisfaction.
Sheng Nan subconsciously reached out to him, making a handshake gesture to indicate that the cooperation was going well, but Pei Muzhi smiled without saying a word.
Sheng Nan smiled helplessly and reached out his hand to Qin Wan.
"Wanwan, would you do me the honor of joining us?"
Qin Wan smiled gently at him, but the next second... she turned ruthlessly and walked towards Pei Muzhi.
Sheng Nan: "..." That hurts.
After saying goodbye to Sheng Nan and his son, Pei Muzhi and Qin Wan were immediately surrounded by reporters and media who had been lying in wait as soon as they stepped out of the restaurant...
"Miss Qin, what are your thoughts on Sheng Qing's suicide?"
"Miss Qin, was Sheng Qing's suicide caused by you?"
"Miss Qin, did you say something inflammatory to Sheng Qing that led to her suicide?"
"Miss Qin, Sheng Qing has been occupying your identity for over twenty years. Do you harbor resentment towards her?"
"Miss Qin, did Sheng Qing really commit suicide?"
"Ms. Qin, may I ask for your opinion on Sheng Qing's suicide?"
These reporters and media outlets seemed to have gone mad, rushing towards Qin Wan and shoving dozens of microphones into her face.
At the crucial moment, Pei Muzhi held her in his arms and protected her tightly.
"Get them out of here!" Pei Muzhi ordered coldly.
Seeing this, Ming finally realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to block the reporters and media.
"We do not give any interviews."
"If you continue to cause trouble, we will sue you one by one!"
Threatening words that are usually very effective seem to have lost their power at this moment.
These reporters and media outlets seemed to have gone mad, their focus specifically on Qin Wan...
"ah!"
"elder brother!"
Qin Wan suddenly screamed and instinctively broke free from Pei Muzhi's embrace, shielding him in front of her.
The moment Pei Muzhi turned his head, his pupils trembled violently.
Wanwan!!!
"Bang!"
The man holding the fruit knife was kicked away violently, and Qin Wan clutched her abdomen and squatted down in pain.
Seeing this, Pei Muzhi quickly picked her up and carried her to the car.
After the "bloody" incident, the previously frenzied reporters and media outlets seemed to have been put on pause, and none of them dared to rush forward anymore.
Seeing this, Ming quickly escaped and rushed into the car...
In the car, Qin Wan's pure white t-shirt was stained red with blood. She lay pale in Pei Muzhi's arms, breathing with difficulty, her face and eyes filled with uncontrollable pain.
"elder brother……"
"I... am in pain..."
"It hurts so much..."
"Brother... Waaah..."
Qin Wan cried out in pain, gripping Pei Muzhi's hands tightly and leaning her body close to his chest.
Soon, Pei Muzhi's white shirt was also stained red with her blood, looking extremely horrifying...
Pei Muzhi sat stiffly, his pupils contracting sharply. His hand pressed tightly against her wound, as if afraid that if he loosened his grip, the bleeding would stop even faster and more frighteningly...
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
Pei Muzhi's thin lips were tightly pressed together, and his face was deathly pale and extremely unsightly.
Pei Muzhi's favorability increased by 10, current favorability is 84.
He felt guilty.
And a deep sense of heartache.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital. For the first time in his life, the usually composed actor Pei lost his composure, carrying Qin Wan as they hurried away...
Outside the emergency room.
Looking at the red light above the emergency room door, Pei Muzhi pursed his thin lips, his aura becoming extremely low.
"Brother, I've already called the police..."
"The assailant who stabbed people has been apprehended by the police..."
"Agent Ming said, standing to the side with a serious expression."
Upon hearing his words, Pei Muzhi remained expressionless and silent.
Seeing this, Ming-ge wisely kept quiet and obediently stood aside to keep him company...
