Chapter 9
Jiang Heng, who was kicked out, didn't care about the pain in his body when he heard the three words "Gu Zhinian". He suddenly looked up at Gu Zhinian.
"Gu... Mr. Gu, I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for the neglect. You..." Pei Hongyuan approached Gu Zhinian with a flattering smile on his face. He couldn't hide the flattery on his face and his face was about to bloom with a smile. He didn't expect that Shi Wan actually climbed up to Gu Zhinian.
"Xiao Wan, take Mr. Gu to the side to rest for a while." Seeing that Gu Zhinian didn't even give him an extra glance, Pei Hongyuan gritted his teeth and said to Shi Wan with a smile on his face.
"Zhi Nian, why are you here?" Pei Shichen walked forward with a smile, his tone somewhat intimate. People who didn't know them would think that the two of them knew each other very well. In fact, they were just high school classmates who had played basketball together a few times.
Gu Zhinian didn't even glance at Pei Shichen. Pei Shichen clenched his fists and didn't dare to look at other people. He could imagine what those people were thinking.
Shi Wan didn't even look at Pei Hongyuan. Gu Zhinian protected Shi Wan and blocked Pei Hongyuan's sight. Gu Zhinian saw someone in the crowd taking photos and videos, so he winked at the bodyguard beside him. The bodyguard understood what he meant, walked into the crowd, picked up the man by the back of his collar, reached out and took away his camera, and also pulled away the miniature camera on his button.
"Stop, I'm going to call the police. You're breaking the law. I was hired by Young Master Pei Shijin to take the photo!" The man wanted to snatch the things back, but he couldn't get away.
"Sir." The bodyguard showed the thing to Gu Zhinian.
"Your Pei family organized a really great banquet. You even hired someone to film it, and they brought a miniature camera." Gu Zhinian picked up the miniature camera with a hint of sarcasm on his face. When the others heard the word "miniature camera", their faces changed.
Especially those who did something indecent. After all, this kind of banquet is actually very chaotic, but everyone just covered it up well. Now when they heard that there was a micro camera, everyone looked at the Pei family with hostility.
"What's wrong with you? How did you get into such a big mess without even notifying me? I think you've lost your mind." Pei Hongyuan vented his anger at Ruan Leyi who had just stood up. His tone was very unfriendly, and he took the lead in pushing all the responsibility away.
"I..." Ruan Leyi looked at Pei Hongyuan in disbelief, and looked stunned as if she was wondering if she had heard it wrong.
"Go up and pack your things and take you home." Gu Zhinian ignored Pei Hongyuan's farce and patted Shi Wan's head and said softly.
"Yeah." Shi Wan nodded obediently. He couldn't live in the Pei family anymore, but he had received his admission letter, so it didn't matter whether he lived here or not.
Shi Wan didn't have much stuff, most of it had already been packed and was ready to be taken to school. He only needed to pack in some clothes he was wearing at the time, which could be packed into a 26-inch suitcase. Most of the stuff was Shi Wan's sketchbooks, which were quite heavy.
Shi Wan had some difficulty carrying the suitcase downstairs. Her wrist, which had been pinched by Jiang Heng, was so painful that she couldn't use any strength. Seeing this, Gu Zhinian walked upstairs in two or three steps and took over Shi Wan's suitcase, still holding Shi Wan's hand with the other hand.
Shi Wan followed Gu Zhinian in a daze. Seeing that Shi Wan had no intention of staying, Pei Hongyuan quickly signaled Pei Shichen to stop them. Pei Shijin also followed Pei Shichen and walked forward.
Pei Shijin looked at Gu Zhinian infatuatedly. He almost gritted his teeth at Shi Wan who was protected by Gu Zhinian. How could such a lowly person like Shi Wan defile Gu Zhinian?
"It's getting late, Xiaowan, you should rest at home. It's not convenient to go anywhere now." Pei Shichen had a hypocritical smile on his face that Shi Wan had never seen before. In the past, the Pei Shichen Shi Wan had always been condescending and looked down on him as if he were trash.
"Xiao Wan's hearing is not good, so it's not convenient to go out at night..."
"I'm not a member of this family anymore. Wouldn't it be more inconvenient for me to stay here?" Shi Wan didn't even look at Pei Shichen. "Let's go." Shi Wan's face was a little pale, and his voice was a little unstable.
"Brother, don't act silly and cause trouble for Brother Zhinian. Brother Zhinian, my brother is having a quarrel with his family. Please forgive me if I've caused you any trouble. My brother didn't grow up at home and isn't close to his parents. He's a bit selfish. You..."
"Who are you?" Gu Zhinian's indifferent voice interrupted Pei Shijin's words directly. His eyes were so cold that they could freeze people to death. Pei Shijin's face turned pale in an instant and his legs were shaking.
"Hahahaha, he's shouting Brother Zhinian, and no one recognizes him. It's so funny." Some people who disliked Pei Shijin laughed out loud. When one person laughed, everyone else laughed. Pei Shijin felt like a thorn in his back, and he didn't even dare to breathe. He covered his chest and fell on Gu Zhinian.
Shi Wan finally understood and secretly looked at Gu Zhinian. Any man around Pei Shijin would feel distressed if Pei Shijin acted like this. He was not sure whether Gu Zhinian would act like this. As a result, Gu Zhinian took a step back with a cold face.
"Bang!" Pei Shijin fell straight to the ground. Gu Zhinian waved his hand in disgust at the non-existent air in front of him and took another step back.
Pei Shichen's face looked very ugly, and Pei Shiyu was also glaring at Shi Wan from behind with a fierce look in his eyes. He was afraid of Gu Zhinian, so he didn't dare to glare at Gu Zhinian or help Pei Shijin. Shi Wan felt a malicious gaze, and following the feeling, he looked over and found that it was Pei Shiyu.
Shi Wan found it funny that he acted so condescending in front of him, but in the end he was actually a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Shi Wan mouthed the word "coward", then turned his head away with a smile and stopped looking at Pei Shiyu's distorted face. Shi Wan felt a little uncomfortable and subconsciously used a little force with his hands.
Seeing that Shi Wan's face looked strange, Gu Zhinian didn't care about the farce at the Pei family and walked out with Shi Wan.
"Sir, you can go directly to Mr. Gu's studio for compensation for the camera and this pinhole camera." The bodyguard said politely, and then the person taking the photo was released and fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
After Gu Zhinian left, everyone else left as well. Suddenly, the first floor, which had just been bustling with people drinking and chatting, became deserted. Only the Pei family, Jiang Heng, and Zhang Ma were left. The Jiang family felt ashamed, and thought that Jiang Heng had offended Gu Zhinian, so they had to go back and find a solution, so they all left. They didn't even take Jiang Heng with them. Ruan Leyi was wearing a torn dress, Pei Shijin was still lying on the ground, and Pei Hongyuan smashed the cup and went upstairs directly.
"Auntie Zhang, call an ambulance and send Shi Jin to the hospital." After Pei Shi Jin finished her instructions, she went to find Pei Hongyuan. They had to discuss how to resolve this matter. They had offended too many people today. They would probably avoid them in the future. They would probably not be included in future social events. Only they knew how many opportunities they had lost.
Pei Shiyu knelt beside Pei Shijin and didn't dare to help Pei Shijin up, "Why don't you protect my second brother, he is your fiancé!" Pei Shiyu yelled at Jiang Heng directly.
"What about you? You were hiding behind and only dared to speak now. Who dares to say that to me?" Jiang Heng was also very angry. He had offended Gu Zhinian because of Pei Shijin, but the Pei family didn't even care about him. Jiang Heng didn't dare to go home at all. He knew what the consequences would be if he went home. Jiang Heng lowered his head with a sinister look in his eyes.
His father's shrew would definitely add fuel to the fire and fan the flames, and he would definitely not end up well. Thinking of this, Jiang Heng punched the cake cart on the side. The unstable cake cart fell over and splashed cream all over Pei Shijin's face.
But Pei Shijin still couldn't wake up.
