Chen Wu's assertiveness brought tears to Shen Yuejin's eyes.
Seeing that the brother and sister were arguing, Xi Wen quickly came over.
"Yuejin, Third Master is very busy, it's normal that he can't come, so don't make things difficult for your elder brother."
He gave Shen Yuejin a wink.
Even if Shen Yuejin was furious, she still had to consider the occasion.
It's her wedding day; she can't afford to lose face.
"Come on, I'll take you to change your clothes."
Xi Wen smiled gently and led Shen Yuejin away.
Passing by Yan Qiao's table, Shen Yue saw that only Pei Jingzhan was there, and she felt like taking her anger out on him. She brushed Xi Wen's hand away and walked over.
"Where's Yan Qiao? Why did you leave me here all alone?" She sneered, looking at Pei Jingzhan's masked face with malice.
Then, she looked at Xi Wen.
"Honey, he's Yan Qiao's date tonight. Don't you think Yan Qiao is getting more and more down on her luck? It's one thing to have a penniless guy as her date, but she can't even afford a decent suit. She's wearing a mask and doesn't dare to show her face. I wonder how ugly she is."
Xi Wen suppressed his impatience and pulled her along, saying, "Alright, let's go."
Shen Yuejin refused. She couldn't control others, so why should she be afraid of a bankrupt woman in Yancheng?
"Did Yan Qiao pay you a fee? How much is it per month? Let me see how generous she is to men..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Jingzhan lifted his eyelids and pulled his mask down a little.
His indifferent eyes fell on Shen Yuejin's face.
Shen Yuejin froze, shocked and pale.
Pei Jingzhan curled his lips into a smile and casually stretched out his legs.
"Miss Shen, how much would it cost to hire me?"
Shen Yuejin felt as if her throat was blocked with cotton, too shocked to speak.
Xi Wen finally managed to find his voice: "Three..."
Pei Jingzhan raised an eyebrow. "I've been keeping a low profile lately, you should know what to do."
Then, he picked up the mask with his knuckles and slowly pulled it up.
Just one glance at him was enough to make Xi Wen feel immense pressure, so he quickly lowered his eyes and looked away.
"It was Yuejin who was rude, please don't mind."
He reached out and shoved Shen Yuejin, his voice lowering: "Apologize now!"
Shen Yuejin was still in a daze, not yet recovered from the shock.
What shocked her even more was that Pei Jingzhan actually attended as Yan Qiao's male companion!
How could that be!
Her mind was a jumbled mess, and she couldn't make sense of anything.
Until Yan Qiao appeared, she forcefully pulled Shen Yuejin and Xi Wen back, while she herself stood in front of Pei Jingzhan.
Her anger was like that of a protective mother: "You're getting married today, and I've offended you this once, but don't push your luck! He's someone I brought with me. If you dare to bully him, I think you shouldn't even get married!"
Shen Yuejin and Xi Wen's expressions were as if they had swallowed flies, indescribable.
Xi Wen glanced at Pei Jingzhan out of the corner of his eye and saw that he looked pleased, as if he was very pleased with Yan Qiao's protective manner.
He awkwardly looked away. He could still fight with Xi Luo, but he really couldn't afford to offend this guy in the business world.
Xi Wen had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "Yan Qiao, you've misunderstood. We didn't bully anyone."
Even if he had ten times the courage of heaven, he wouldn't dare to bully Master Pei.
Yan Qiao snorted, "Neither of you are any good people. You came here to bully me, not to offer me a toast."
Pei Jingzhan sighed dramatically, "Sigh, Yan Qiao, I'm fine. It's just that my family went bankrupt, and I can only go out in a tattered suit."
Xi Wen's face turned ashen; he was incredibly frustrated.
Yan Qiao then started yelling, "You still say you didn't bully me! So what if he went bankrupt? So what if he wears a suit worth tens of thousands of yuan? I bought it for him! You two should take a look in the mirror. One of you is trying to usurp your brother's family property, and the other is trying to marry your brother because you couldn't have him. Do you really think we don't know what kind of people you are?"
Shen Yuejin's face was contorted with rage, but because Pei Jingzhan was there, she dared not speak out.
Normally, she would have definitely had Yan Qiao kicked out!
Xi Wen gripped her hand tightly. "Yuejin, hurry up and change your clothes."
Only then, suppressing his anger, did he take her away.
As soon as she turned around, she heard Yan Qiao's reassuring voice: "Don't be afraid. If they bully you again, just tell me."
Pei Jingzhan then sighed dramatically, "Luckily, I have you."
Shen Yuejin clenched her fists tightly. "Damn it, thank goodness I have you!"
Who's bullying whom here?!
Yan Qiao originally wanted to tell Shen Yuejin about Xi Wen, but after this argument, she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
After talking to Pei Jingzhan, she wanted to get some advice from him.
Pei Jingzhan closed his phone and said calmly, "You can tell her, but she might not listen."
Yan Qiao nodded, "That's what I think too. No, I didn't do a good deed and I got bitten in return."
But she felt uncomfortable keeping it to herself.
No matter how bad Shen Yuejin is, it's not up to Xi Wen to take advantage of her.
Pei Jingzhan reminded her, "There are always reasonable people in the Shen family."
Yan Qiao understood and sent a message to Shen Wu.
Tell Chenwu to handle it themselves.
Whether she listens or not is her own business.
Upon receiving the news, Chen Wu's face instantly darkened.
Xu Ran put a hand on his arm and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Chen Wu showed her the phone, and Xu Ran's expression changed slightly.
"Tell Yuejin, I'll go," Xu Ran said softly.
Otherwise, given Shen Wu's temperament, even if he spoke, Shen Yuejin might not listen.
Shen Wu said, "Marriage is her own business. You can just say what you want, whether she listens or not is up to her."
He certainly believed that Yan Qiao wouldn't make things up, but after all, there was no evidence. Shen Yue was willing to marry Xi Wen out of spite, but it was uncertain whether she would actually listen.
Xu Ran nodded and then went to the dressing room.
She and Shen Yuejin didn't get along, and now that they were talking alone, Shen Yuejin seemed somewhat unwilling.
"Your older brother got the news that Xi Wen has a woman outside, and the relationship is a bit unclear."
Shen Yuejin's expression changed drastically. "Sister-in-law! Today is my wedding day. What do you mean by telling me this?"
Xu Ran placed both hands in front of her and said calmly, "We're telling you now because we just realized that the choice is yours."
Shen Yuejin found it absurd and naturally did not want to believe it.
"How did you know that? Do you have any evidence?"
"There is no evidence, but Yan Qiao saw it with her own eyes, so it cannot be false."
Upon hearing the name "Yan Qiao," Shen Yuejin naturally flew into a rage.
The two already had a bad relationship, so she naturally felt that Yan Qiao was trying to sow discord between them.
"I think Yan Qiao came here today purely to make things difficult for me! Xi Wen has always been good to me, he would never do such a thing! By stirring up trouble at this critical juncture, Yan Qiao simply doesn't want me to have a good time!"
If she cancels the wedding now, who knows how much Shiloh will laugh at her!
Xu Ran patiently persuaded, "Yuejin, Yan Qiao isn't that kind of person. You're blinded by prejudice. Face isn't as important as your lifelong happiness. If you don't want to cancel the wedding, then go ahead with it. You can investigate later after the wedding."
"No need!" Shen Yuejin retorted coldly. "I know very well what kind of person Xi Wen is. I don't need you to meddle! After we get married, our lives will only get better. Let those who are pessimistic about us wait and see!"
Xu Ran shut his mouth, his face turning dark.
This trip was definitely a mistake.
"Since that's the case, you'd better take care of yourself."
