Chapter 58
Pei Muyang didn't look back, but he could still see in the mirror who had just spoken to him.
Still that annoying look.
Chen Yiwei wore a bright pink suit, with a floral shirt underneath that was hard to describe. The outside of the suit was decorated with a few exaggerated feathers. This eye-catching outfit simply whipped up human aesthetics.
It seemed as if this person had never dressed properly since the first time they met, but even such a funny outfit could not ease the hatred in Pei Muyang's heart.
However, Chen Yiwei's eyes were full of disbelief. He hadn't seen Pei Muyang for a while.
Since completing his junior year, his father has let him take over the family business. In addition to arranging a lot of work for him, he also takes him to various occasions to build his network.
This was the process he had to go through to become the heir of Yuncheng. The hectic life made him temporarily forget Pei Muyang. He did have a liking and paranoia for boys, but he knew that if he could not take over Yuncheng smoothly, he would not be qualified to control someone who did not love him.
What's more, he is a rebellious person like Pei Muyang.
After sorting out the priorities, Chen Yiwei naturally focused all his energy on inheriting the family business. After all, Pei Muyang was being harassed by loan sharks, so he couldn't escape from his control.
But he forgot that although Pei Muyang had lost his pride and sharp claws through his tricks, he was still a proud lion in nature. He would hide his strength, lie dormant in the dark, and wait for an opportunity to hit the enemy with one blow.
He indeed overlooked this point, thus giving the boys the opportunity to incite Xie Yuqing to rebel and even post messages online to bite him back.
When Chen Yiwei first saw the trending search on the Internet, he panicked for a moment. He did not expect Pei Muyang to choose to take the initiative at this time and catch him off guard. Although the online remarks about him being the mastermind behind the incident were short-lived, the Internet has memory. With so many views, even if they were deleted quickly, there would still be people who would remember them. And those memories would become the hooks that would stab him in the back at some point.
What made him even more worried was that this matter finally attracted his father's attention.
When he was called to his father's office that day, his father was so angry that he threw the tablet in his hand directly at him, pointed at his nose and told him to look at what he had done.
Chen Yiwei was very unconvinced. He just fell in love with someone and tried every means to get her. What did he do wrong?
Mr. Chen snorted coldly and scolded, "Who do you think you are? Do you really think I can protect you if something happens to you? Don't forget, this is a society ruled by law. If you break the law, you will go to jail! If people know that the heir of Yuncheng has a stain, then our family will be finished!"
"Yuncheng is the fruit of my life's work. I can't just watch you do whatever you want."
"But I just want him!"
Mr. Chen fell silent as he looked at his son who was somewhat irritable and out of control.
After giving birth to Chen Yiwei, Chen's mother suffered from postpartum depression. However, Yuncheng was just starting to pick up at that time, and Mr. Chen, who was busy with work, did not notice anything unusual about his wife. By the time he found out, his childhood sweetheart had already abandoned their young son and jumped off a cliff, becoming a ghost.
The guilt towards his wife tormented Mr. Chen day and night. In order to make up for Chen Yiwei who lost his mother at a young age, Mr. Chen almost granted his son's every request. This led to the paranoia in the child's character. He was determined to get what he liked, and if he couldn't get it, he would simply destroy it.
No one should try to show off in front of him something he can't get.
Mr. Chen naturally knew that his son had been spoiled by him, but things and people were different. If it was an object, he would find a way to get it for his son no matter how much he wanted. But if it was a person...
Mr. Chen sighed.
"Even if you really want to get that child, you need real power. In today's society, money may not be above the law, but it can easily manipulate those with weak morals. The more leverage you have, the faster you can achieve your goal."
Mr. Chen’s words were earnest and sincere, and Chen Yiwei seemed to be lost in thought.
His father increased his control over him and, of course, demanded more strictly that he achieve some results in business.
Today's banquet with all the business celebrities gathered together was a good opportunity for him to make friends as the heir of Yuncheng. However, he didn't expect to meet Pei Muyang here.
"No wonder the almanac says today is a bad day. I didn't believe in it, but I never expected to run into a ghost when I went out. What bad luck!"
Pei Muyang washed his hands calmly, and using the reflection of the mirror, he glanced at Chen Yiwei with disdain as if he was looking at something dirty.
He was wondering why Chen Yiwei was so lingering around.
I didn't have the time or ability to deal with him before, so I just gave him and the Chen family a warning. Who would have thought that he would dare to run in front of me? It seems that the previous warning didn't work, and the Chen family didn't want to take care of their unfortunate son at all.
This Chen family will be finished sooner or later.
Unlike Pei Muyang's mood, Chen Yiwei was in a pretty good mood.
Recently, because Mr. Chen has been keeping a close watch on him, he hasn't seen Pei Muyang for a long time. He was already itching to see her, but he didn't expect to meet the person he had been thinking about day and night in such an occasion.
"Pei Muyang, I want to talk to you."
Chen Yiwei blocked the boy's way and said seriously with a frown.
"What are you talking about? When will you have your turn? Then hurry up and die. I can't wait any longer."
Chen Yiwei's face darkened when he heard this. "Do you really have to talk to me like this?"
"What else?"
Pei Muyang found it amusing. What other attitude could he use? Could it be that the two of them had a relationship where they could talk to each other peacefully?
"I didn't care about you slandering me online before. I like you so much, why can't you be nicer to me?"
"Slander? Chen Yiwei, I'm not slandering you. What I'm saying is all true. Besides, you don't think I don't have any evidence at all, do you?"
Chen Yiwei sneered upon hearing this and said, "So what if you have evidence? Pei Muyang, you may not have figured it out yet, but as long as my father is here, even if you send me to the police station, I will definitely be able to get out. I will haunt you like a demon for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to get rid of me."
"Yeah?"
Pei Muyang feigned composure, but inwardly he was frightened by the madness in Chen Yiwei's eyes. What kind of melodramatic romance novel had this yandere villain come from? He'd actually set his sights on him.
The problem is, he's a man! Did this yandere end up on the wrong set?
Pei Muyang was speechless and didn't want to argue with the lunatic. He was afraid that Jiang Chengyi would get anxious waiting for him, so he thought about going back quickly. However, he had just taken two steps and was stopped by Chen Yiwei as expected.
"Wait! Who did you come to the party with?"
I was so overwhelmed by the joy of meeting Pei Muyang that I didn't notice it. It was only when I looked at him carefully that I found something strange.
A suit worth hundreds of thousands and a brooch worth millions. Oh, and those cufflinks aren’t cheap either.
This outfit for a boy is at least the price of a house, and the Pei family can't afford it at all given their current situation.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but Chen Yiwei’s face turned ugly.
"Who I come with is none of your business?"
Pei Muyang shook off the hand that was pulling him and was about to leave, but he heard a sarcastic sneer behind him.
"Didn't you refuse to date me before? I thought you were so noble, but it turns out you're not satisfied with the price I offered?"
"What are you barking at?"
"What? Are you angry out of shame? You're a student from an ordinary family. If you weren't being kept by someone, how could you afford this outfit? And how could you possibly be at a party like this?"
Chen Yiwei questioned angrily. He liked Pei Muyang and could tolerate the boy's indifference and lack of love for him, but he absolutely could not watch the boy betray him and be with someone else.
Especially in such an ignominious capacity.
"If you're going crazy, get out of here. Don't force me to beat you up in front of so many people."
It turns out that disgusting people see everything as dirty. People like Chen Yiwei should be locked up in a mental hospital and never released for the rest of their lives.
So as not to harm others.
When he returned to the banquet hall, the atmosphere was no different from when he left. Apparently, no one knew what happened between him and Chen Yiwei in the bathroom.
Besides the middle-aged man he had just approached, Jiang Chengyi was also surrounded by two CEOs with their family members' younger generations. They were chatting happily, but they didn't realize that the person they wanted to curry favor with had already been absent-minded.
"What took you so long?"
Pei Muyang felt it as soon as he approached Jiang Chengyi. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense nerves.
This is Yangyang’s first time attending such an occasion. What if he is bullied by someone who doesn’t have any eyes?
If I had known earlier, I should have quit and taken Yangyang away, instead of letting the boy go out alone to save other people's face.
I've been worrying and anxious for so long.
After all, he came here just to declare in front of everyone that Yang Yang was the one he liked. In his eyes, those people were not worth making friends with at all. They were always trying to get close to him and gain benefits from him. He entertained them out of courtesy. If he didn't say anything, what could they do to him?
Jiang Chengyi observed the boy carefully, and when he saw that his face looked unhappy, he couldn't help but get nervous.
"What's wrong?" Could it be that someone was so blind as to bully Yangyang?
"Nothing, I just drank a little too much and I'm not feeling well."
Pei Muyang subconsciously didn't want to tell Jiang Chengyi the truth. It was already disgusting enough that he had offended that lunatic, and there was really no need to make Jiang Chengyi feel disgusted as well.
After hearing Pei Muyang say this, Jiang Chengyi finally felt relieved.
"Since you're not feeling well, let's go back early."
Is this really okay?
Pei Muyang glanced around. There were at least three or four waves of people eagerly queuing up to greet him. He wondered if he was causing trouble for the country and its people. He was just a secretary. How could he let his boss delay his work for him?
Just as Pei Muyang was about to fulfill his duties as a secretary and righteously persuade his boss to put the overall situation first, he heard the middle-aged man who had been standing next to him for a long time waved and called someone over.
"Xiaowei, come over and say hello to President Jiang."
