Chapter 20: Taking the opportunity to establish authority and teach the Yi family a lesson (2)



Otherwise, I will make you cry without even being able to cry."

"You..." Ding Zhiyuan blushed and shouted, "Do you think that just because you have money, you can cover up everything?"

"I can't, but I can definitely make you miserable. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."

Xiang Wanwan looked at Wei Heng again: "If after I said this, you still think I like him, then Miss Wei, I sincerely suggest you go see a neurosurgeon."

After saying those harsh words, she was too lazy to say another word and turned around and left.

Her steps were neither fast nor slow, and her soft shawl and wide skirt swayed gently with her movements. Although her steps were not imposing, they gave people the feeling of a queen on tour.

Wei Heng stared blankly for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. He seemed to involuntarily want to catch up and say something to Xiang Wanwan.

But at this moment, a black figure suddenly rushed out of the hotel and almost bumped into Xiang Wanwan.

"Miss!" Pei Xingyao quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to block it.

The figure slammed into Pei Xingyao's arm, and the force bounced her off and sent her crashing to the ground. She didn't scream, but simply raised her head woodenly.

Xiang Wanwan frowned slightly.

This was a young woman, no more than 25 years old, with delicate features and a scholarly air. However, she wore heavy makeup and a deep V dress that was completely inconsistent with her temperament, revealing a large area of fair skin.

There were no traces of tears on her face, but her eyes were red and she stared blankly at Pei Xingyao's suit.

She looked like she had just escaped from some situation. Xiang Wanwan couldn't ignore her and leaned over to ask gently, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Were you bullied?"

"Bully……"

To match Xiang Wanwan today, Pei Xingyao wore a black tuxedo. His aura was refined and elegant, making him look more like a nobleman than anyone else in the room. It was unknown what irritated the girl about this outfit, but she suddenly murmured.

"No one bullies me, it's me, I'm useless..."

With just one sentence, the girl burst into tears, as if some shackles had been released. She cursed herself: "I'm so useless! Why... I'm such a loser! Isn't it just selling myself? Isn't it just a one-night stand? Isn't it just sleeping with someone? It's not like I'll lose a piece of flesh. What the hell am I being so proud of? Why can't I do this? Why?"

Sell?

Xiang Wanwan's brow furrowed even more, but her eyes were filled with understanding. "Because in this world, losing a piece of flesh in the struggle is nothing, but selling your dignity by the pound is truly pathetic. We are all reincarnated to be human beings, not commodities on a shelf."

Her words further irritated the girl, and she cried even louder: "But there is no other way! I really have no other way!"

After just a few words, she cried until she was hoarse, then closed her eyes and fainted.

"Hey!" Xiang Wanwan wanted to hug her, but she was too weak to do so. Pei Xingyao didn't want to touch another woman without her permission. The girl almost fell to the ground, but luckily a pair of hands reached out.

Wei Heng didn't know what was wrong with him. He could only let the girl who had fainted from crying lean on his arms in silence and awkwardness. He said nothing and didn't dare to look at Wanwan's expression.

Fortunately, Xiang Wanwan only glanced at him briefly before turning around and ordering, "Assistant Pei, call the driver. Book a room at the Starlight Cloud Summit, contact the hotel to prepare some everyday clothes, and send this young lady to change clothes and wash her face. Then, save her a table at the cafe. I'd like to talk to this young lady."

Pei Xingyao never had any objection to her words. He just said "yes" and immediately called to deal with it. Within half a minute, the driver who had been on standby nearby drove over.

"I... I'll go with you." Wei Heng said with difficulty, feeling extremely embarrassed. She just felt that Xiang Wanwan hated her so much, and she didn't know why she was joining in the fun.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Wanwan just nodded: "Then let's go together."

Although her car was a stretched Rolls-Royce Phantom, it was always intended for one owner. Now that there were more people, only Pei Xingyao could sit in the passenger seat. The driver carried the unconscious girl to the back seat. Xiang Wanwan's physical condition was not suitable for carrying the girl in the car, so Wei Heng had to go with her.

Although Wei Heng was a wealthy and beautiful woman, she had never made a custom Rolls-Royce Phantom. Normally, she would have taken a photo and posted it on social media, but now, she had no intention of doing so and felt extremely embarrassed.

What's wrong with her?

While asking himself, he followed Xiang Wanwan to the hotel.

Runjia Holdings holds a 65% stake in Starlight Genting, and Xiang Wanwan is considered the big boss behind the scenes. With the arrival of the big boss, the entire hotel is on high alert. Needless to say, everything has been prepared.

"The lady we met on the road is already unconscious. Please take good care of her first." Pei Xingyao ordered the hotel staff to send the girl to the room, help her remove her makeup and change her clothes.

A group of people bustled around and took the girl away from her. Wei Heng looked at the empty hands before her, unconscious and unable to come back to her senses. She asked without thinking, "Why?"

Xiang Wanwan felt a little tired. She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, rubbing her temples with a tired look. She didn't answer when she heard this.

Instead, it was Pei Xingyao who spoke.

"Because our eldest daughter doesn't care about people falling into depravity, she can't bear to see someone forced to sell themselves. This lady is obviously the daughter of a wealthy family. She has never suffered hardship. Now her family has encountered a change, and in order to cope with it, she has no choice but to come out and raise investment herself."

And then, someone takes advantage of the situation and makes horrible demands?

Wei Heng couldn't bear it any longer: "Where's the man in her family? Why let a little girl come out to raise funds?"

Xiang Wanwan was drinking herbal tea when she heard this and suddenly smiled: "Is it because of this reason that you want to find a good man to marry and have someone to rely on?"

Wei Heng didn't understand why the topic turned here, just as she didn't understand why she was in this cafe.

She didn't answer, but in the blink of an eye, footsteps could be heard. The girl, without makeup, dressed in a tracksuit, looked innocent and well-behaved. She timidly said, "Well... well, who is Xiang Dong?"

The first person she looked at was Pei Xingyao, who was wearing a neatly ironed suit.

But Pei Xingyao stood respectfully beside the sofa and said, "She is our eldest lady."

She? The girl looked at the girl in the white dress on the sofa and felt that she was smaller and more fragile than herself. She couldn't help but feel surprised and confused: "Huh?"

"Hello, I'm Xiang Wanwan." Xiang Wanwan nodded slightly. "What's your name?"

This statement was too formal. The girl felt that the person sitting in front of her was not a sickly girl younger than herself, but the people in power who sat behind their desks that she had seen in the past few days.

She couldn't help but feel awe, and she felt that this Mr. Xiang was different from other people in power. However, she couldn't put her finger on what was different, so she could only reply, "My name is... my name is Qi Zhiyou, and my father... my father is Qi Dapeng."

Xiang Wanwan looked up, and her all-purpose assistant Pei Xingyao immediately said, "It's the president of Jingyuan Hotel."

She nodded: "It turned out to be Miss Qi."

When Qi Zhiyou heard the word "young lady," she was immediately overcome with grief and couldn't help crying again: "Wow... A phoenix that has fallen to the ground is no better than a chicken. How can there be any young lady Qi?"

Xiang Wanwan didn't stop them. She pushed the tissue box on the table and didn't care that Wei Heng was crying while hugging Qi Zhiyou. She just asked, "What's wrong with Jingyuan?"

Pei Xingyao briefly recalled and replied, "The Qi family has been running a hotel business for generations, and the family business is quite large. In recent years, due to internal power struggles, they have been making losses. Not long ago, I heard that a Mr. Qi was deceived into gambling and lost a large sum of money. It is estimated that the company's funds were misappropriated. Now there is insufficient funds to continue. In my estimation, if Jingyuan cannot come up with 30 million in the next two weeks, it will go bankrupt."

"Why is this happening?" Wei Heng asked. "Where are the men in your family?"

"My dad...my dad didn't mean it. My mom said he was tricked into having sex with a woman outside. He's the pillar of the family, and now he's sick. We have to find a way to raise money for him. As long as we have money, we can turn things around, and our family will be back to the way it was before..."

"What did your house look like before?" Xiang Wanwan asked. "What did your house look like before?"

Qi Zhiyou was suddenly speechless.

What was it like before?

Wei Heng looked at her expression and immediately understood.

It's definitely not a good day.

The quality of life for the daughters and wives of wealthy families ultimately depends on the quality of their fathers and husbands. If their fathers are kind and their husbands are loving, then their lives will naturally be harmonious and peaceful, with nothing to think about or do. They can just sleep when they are tired and spend money when they wake up.

But what if the husband and father don’t get along well?

That's very common among wealthy families.

A father is using his daughter as a marriage partner, marrying her off to a business partner to consolidate his empire. Don't you agree? You eat his food, wear his clothes, and spend money like that. If you can't even help the family with this little bit, do you have any conscience? Don't acknowledge this daughter anymore!

After marriage, a woman still has to eat and drink from her husband, bear children, be filial to her parents-in-law, and make her husband happy. She cannot be old or ugly. Once she is old and ugly, her husband will call her a yellow-faced woman and will be unable to bear the sight of her. Of course, it is only natural for her to find a younger woman.

You're talking about joint property? Didn't I give you money to spend? Why are you asking so many questions? Isn't the joint property earned by me?

“…” Wei Heng knew all this, but for some reason, she shuddered at this moment.

Suddenly I felt cold all over.

On such terrible days, it seems that fathers and husbands are the real people, while daughters and wives are just accessories.

And in Xiang Wanwan's mind, the system's voice sounded:

"The character [Wei Heng] has an awakening level of 70%. It is estimated that awakening this character will gain 10,000 awakening points."

She accidentally awakened Wei Heng?

That’s right! Xiang Wanwan suddenly thought, if she awakened the characters in the original novel, wouldn’t she be able to obtain a large number of awakening points, which she could then redeem and view hidden plot points?
