Chapter 16 The troublemaker is eating your rice!

"Shen Zhi," Pei Yufeng ran over anxiously, with beads of sweat on his forehead and worry in his eyes. "Are you okay?"

There was still mist in Shen Zhi's eyes, but he could still see Pei Yufeng's appearance clearly.

Pei Yufeng's hair was blown back, revealing his smooth forehead. His handsome facial features were revealed without any obstruction, and his youthfulness was replaced by a mature and stable charm.

To put it more bluntly, Pei Yufeng has become unfathomable.

The neat and clean grey striped suit makes Pei Yufeng look particularly energetic. It is the aura that emanates from power in his hands, and he has sufficient confidence in everything he does.

Every trace of shyness disappeared, as if it had never existed.

Pei Yufeng gently touched the red marks on Shen Zhi's face with his fingers, being careful not to hurt Shen Zhi.

"Does it hurt?" Pei Yufeng brought Shen Zhi over. Shen Zhi was a delicate person with a sweet mouth and loved to cry. He controlled people very much, so he had to choose his words carefully for fear of making Shen Zhi unhappy.

Pei Yufeng didn't know the reason at that time, he treated Shen Zhi as his younger brother and thought that everything should be done according to his wishes, so that he could be a good brother that Shen Zhi liked.

Pei Yufeng's eyes were fixed on the scratches on Shen Zhi's face, which were glaring. "Is it Mu Chiye?"

Shen Zhi's face was covered with thin, clear and translucent skin. Spots of sunlight seeped through the lush branches and leaves, shining on Shen Zhi's delicate skin like white porcelain, emitting a moist glow.

Very beautiful. Pei Yufeng knew that Shen Zhi was very beautiful when he saw her for the first time.

Now Shen Zhi's beauty seems to have some other meanings.

The corners of Shen Zhi's eyes were dyed red, which was beautiful and frivolous. The long red lingered around her sight, hooking people's eyes and making them unable to look away for a moment.

"No," Shen Zhi denied with a crying voice.

"I heard about your story." Pei Yufeng also knew about the relationship between Shen Zhi and Mu Chiye. The rumors outside were very unpleasant, which showed that Mu Chiye didn't like Shen Zhi, otherwise the rumors wouldn't have spread like that.

"He doesn't believe you, does he?" Pei Yufeng squatted down and looked at Shen Zhi, "I'll go and explain it to him."

If this can make Shen Zhi happy, if this can change Mu Chiye's attitude towards Shen Zhi and make Shen Zhi feel better.

Shen Zhi wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, "No need."

Pei Yufeng came into contact with a lot of things around Xia Minghao, or rather, got to know a lot of things in depth, and as a result, his feelings for Shen Zhi became more detailed and clear. He not only wanted to treat Shen Zhi as a younger brother.

"Xiao Zhi, you don't have to put yourself in such a difficult position," Pei Yufeng said vaguely, but one could hear the firmness in his tone, "Just wait for me a little longer, and you'll get what you want."

Shen Zhi stopped crying gradually and stared at Pei Yufeng blankly. There were too many deep meanings in his eyes that Shen Zhi could not understand.

"Shen Zhi!" Mu Chiye heard the rumors and tried to contact Shen Zhi to ask him to stay at home. However, he couldn't contact him, and there was no one at home. Mu Chiye became anxious.

In his mind, Shen Zhi is just a naughty kid, the kind who will fight with anyone he catches. If Shen Zhi hears someone scolding him in front of him, he will be furious.

Mu Chiye looked for him anxiously for a long time, but Shen Zhi just made promises to Pei Yufeng in a sweet and roundabout way as if nothing had happened.

It's so hypocritical. You may not even get a burial place after you die.

What did Shen Zhi want that he didn't satisfy? Why did he use Pei Yufeng as a pretext to make a big deal?

Mu Chiye ran over with a voice of encouragement. He was tall, and standing there in a dark and oppressive manner gave people a suffocating feeling.

Mu Chiye frowned, twisted Shen Zhi's chin, and stared at the obvious scars on Shen Zhi's face, "How did it happen?"

I don't know what you're trying to achieve by going out with a strange man and making yourself so miserable?

"Mr. Mu, don't scare Xiaozhi," Pei Yufeng said from the side, disagreeing with Mu Chiye's attitude.

Mu Chiye turned a deaf ear and didn't even bother to look at Pei Yufeng. He was just pretending to be a good person. Why didn't he keep a close eye on Shen Zhi? He got a red mark on his face for no reason.

The capillaries are filled and swollen.

The more I looked at him, the more I found Shen Zhi's unlucky look annoying.

"Speak!" When asking Shen Zhi when he was in a bad mood, you had to urge and coax him, and make Shen Zhi's tone smooth before he would speak as if it was a gift.

Mu Chiye didn't have that much patience and spoke in a somewhat aggressive tone.

The effect is quick.

Shen Zhi held the silver-shining Richard Miller watch between his two slender white fingers and shook it gently. The dazzling light shattered into bright stars, which complemented Shen Zhi's clear and pure eyes.

"I found it back," Shen Zhi's voice was soft, like a feather falling on the tip of his heart.

The strength in Mu Chiye's hands loosened.

He had long known that Shen Zhi was the best at deceiving people, and he had suffered many losses from Shen Zhi's sweet words.

But his memory never seemed to last until the next time.

"Mu Chiye, please don't be angry, okay?" Shen Zhi's thin eyelids were folded into tiny wrinkles, looking completely innocent.

The string in Mu Chi's ambitious heart was plucked by such Shen Zhi.

The flower named Shen Zhi took root in the soil belonging to Mu Chiye, absorbing nutrients. Under his protection, it trembled and bloomed in exchange for his favor.

"You are so disrespectful." Mu Chiye's anger disappeared completely, but he didn't give in and said, "It depends on your performance."

Mu Chiye concluded, and pressed Shen Zhi's neck with his broad hand, "Come on, follow me back."

Shen Zhi was dragged away by Mu Chiye before he even had time to say goodbye.

Shen Zhi was holding the seat belt in a daze, too quiet.

"Don't be afraid." He must have been tortured by Shen Zhi and got sick. He felt uncomfortable when Shen Zhi suddenly became quiet.

Mu Chiye's brows were gloomy, and his words were strangely reassuring. "If you didn't do it, no one can wrongly accuse you."

Mu Chiye's words injected vitality into Shen Zhi, and he became lively again. Shen Zhi looked at Mu Chiye in the mirror in surprise.

Shen Zhi apologized to Mu Chiye because he stole the design drawings. It was understandable that Mu Chiye did not accept it, after all, this time he brought huge losses to the G family.

But Mu Chiye's words seemed to be different from what Shen Zhi thought, and he was just talking to himself.

"Mu Chi Ye," Shen Zhi asked, "What did I do wrong?"

Shen Zhi was really confused. Since it was not about designing new products, why was Mu Chiye so angry?

"Shen Zhi, you did something wrong and you asked me for an excuse..." Mu Chiye's words got stuck in his throat.

Shen Zhi leaned to the side, confusion in his eyes.

Shen Zhi's gaze was too intense; Mu Chiye's face tensed and he could not continue speaking.

Mu Chiye thought carefully and wondered whether Shen Zhi did not report his whereabouts, or Shen Zhi injured himself, or he simply felt that Pei Yufeng standing next to Shen Zhi like a guardian was dazzling.

Makiye found that he seemed confused about the reason for his anger.

So why was he so angry? Maki's throat twitched, and he couldn't give a reason.

"Shut up." Shen Zhi was better off not talking. He kept asking random questions. "Why do you have so many questions?"

Shen Zhi shut up reluctantly.

Mu Chiye glanced at Shen Zhi's bored face, but he actually had a question to ask Shen Zhi.

Mu Chi's ambition was uncontrollable and he shook violently twice, then calmed down.

But he seemed to have no right to ask Shen Zhi. Shen Zhi's personal choice had nothing to do with him, and he also knew the answer would not be one he would be happy to hear.

Then he would return to the position of older brother. He had no right to be angry because he had never acknowledged the precarious relationship between them in front of Shen Zhi.

"I'm sorry," angry at his lack of fate.

Shen Zhi next to him leaned against the car window, and it seemed as if his words dissipated in the wind and did not reach Shen Zhi's ears.

Mu Chiye planned to let Shen Zhi stay at home, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest came to his house.

"It's too late for your wound to heal," Mu Chiye clamped Shen Zhi's chin and blew a breath on Shen Zhi's face. The fine hairs on Shen Zhi's face trembled, and Mu Chiye took it in with his sharp eyes.

Shen Zhi covered his face and struggled away from Mu Chiye. He was so disgusted, but he kept looking at him all the way.

Mu Chiye stopped and saw a middle-aged couple sitting in the living room. They were dressed modestly but their luxurious temperament could not be concealed.

"Why are you here?" Mu Chiye walked over and sat opposite the two men with his sword and axe.

"Uncle, Aunt," Shen Zhi followed and called out obediently.

Both the husband and wife of the Mu family are businessmen. The father shoots wildlife documentaries in Africa all year round and is an internationally renowned documentary director. The mother runs a multinational luxury jewelry business.

G Company is a small company that Mu Mu had acquired not long ago. In Mu Mu's opinion, it was a good opportunity for Mu Chiye to practice.

It's time for her to concentrate on her studies when she's in her twenties, and it's time for Mu Chiye to stop doing extreme sports. The last time Mu Chiye got into a car accident, it was a wake-up call for her, and her long-lost maternal love was awakened.

"Xiao Zhi, right?" Mu's mother took good care of herself, with smooth skin without wrinkles and a slim figure. If you don't tell her age, she looks to be in her thirties.

He is well-educated and sensible, shaped by the passage of time.

His facial features are majestic and three-dimensional, and he has foreign blood. I think Maki Chiye's mixed-race look mostly comes from his mother.

The shepherd mother said in a gentle voice, "This is a red envelope prepared for you, thank you for saving Aye."

The shepherd's mother's eyes swept over Shen Zhi's fair and tender face. She didn't feel it was abrupt, but warm like spring water and gentle breeze.

With Mu Chiye's tacit consent, Shen Zhi accepted the red envelope and said softly, "Thank you, auntie."

Shen Zhi had seldom seen an elder as gentle as Mu's mother. He felt at a loss what to do under her loving gaze and hid behind Mu Chiye embarrassedly.

Shen Zhi wondered if he had the mental strength to harm someone else's son through marriage and still be able to talk to him calmly.

Mu Chiye sensed Shen Zhi's discomfort and turned around and said, "Go back to your room."

Shen Zhi nodded heavily, said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Mu apologetically, then turned and left.

Mu Chiye made a "tsk" sound, acting rashly.

"Apply iodine to your face to disinfect it," Mu Chiye raised his voice towards Shen Zhi in the background.

Shen Zhili ignored him and just wanted to escape quickly. And why did Mu Chiye keep staring at this small opening?

Mu Chiye said unhappily, "What a naughty child."

Not obedient at all.

The shepherd mother had a gentle expression but spoke directly. After all, she was a businessman and didn't beat around the bush. "This time I came here, your father and I understand all the causes and consequences."

Mu's mother hasn't seen Mu Chiye for a long time. She left him when he was very young. Now Mu's mother wants to do something for Mu Chiye to fulfill her mother's responsibilities.

Mu Chiye looked solemn and unhappy, waiting for his mother's second half of the sentence.

"I will discuss with your grandfather. Don't worry about your marriage with Shen Zhi. Just do what you want," Mu's mother said firmly. Her son has grown up to be so handsome and mature. She will personally clear away any obstacles from his family.

Mu Chiye crossed his hands, already understanding what his parents were doing.

He could tell them clearly that he didn't appreciate it.

If you have not taken care of him since he was a child, there is no need to pretend to make decisions for him after he grows up. He is capable of solving Shen Zhi's problems.

Father Mu groaned and said, "Shen Zhi has good intentions, but he tends to lose his mind over trivial matters."

The shepherd father spoke very tactfully.

Silent anger rose in Mu Chiye's chest. His parents were always like this, high up and down as if they knew everything, but in fact they were always biased.

"Convict by covering the coffin?" Mu Chiye's mouth curled up in a mocking arc, "You also know the rumors outside? Then I believe you also know that there is no evidence yet. It is not good to casually sentence someone without any basis."

Mu Chiye felt it was pitiful because his father was born during the most difficult time for the Mu family and was strictly disciplined by his grandfather. He wanted to rebel but was afraid of his authority, so he used marriage as a bargaining chip to stay away from the Mu family.

He is the victim of this abnormal marriage. Mu Chiye has never felt the love from his parents, let alone their care. Mu Yaocheng is afraid that he will follow his father's old path so he lets go and allows Mu Chiye to grow up wildly.

Makiye sometimes wondered if there was anyone in this world who needed him, just like a fish needs water, who needed his existence forcefully and directly.

"Aye, pay attention to the attitude you have when talking to your father," the shepherd mother reminded.

The shepherd father didn't care and waved his hand. They owed their son something, so it was normal for him to not appreciate it.

"The loss of the G family this time is nothing. I know a few famous designers who can help you." Father Mu paused for a moment, "As for Shen Zhi, our Mu family will not treat him unfairly and will find a good home for him."

Mu's father's words carried a lot of weight. He accepted Shen Zhi's favor and gave Shen Zhi tens of millions in return.

But such words touched Mu Chiye's heart. What he hated most was that his parents were cold and self-centered, without a trace of humanity.

Mu Chiye sneered and rejected them, "No need for you, I can handle this matter myself."

"I will repay my favor myself, there is no need for you to take over," Mu Chiye stood up, his face frosty.

Mu Mu's words extinguished Mu Chiye's anger and calmed him down.

"Have you asked Shen Zhi?" Mu Mu said softly, "Maybe he is willing."

Mu Chiye gritted his teeth, his jaw line tensed into a sharp arc.

The shepherd mother sincerely advised her son who was irritated with her, "We can give him much more than you think. Xiaozhi wants to go to Pratt, and the current principal is my classmate. I will help him. Shenzhi can become better without relying on you. He will not refuse."

Mu Chiye's fleeting confusion did not escape his mother's eyes.

Her son didn't understand Shen Zhi, Mu's mother was sure.

I don't like him either, but now I just don't want to be around the parents who were absent during my childhood.

Mu Chiye went upstairs, and his mother did not stop him. She knew very well how to relax in moderation.

Shen Zhi was lying on the bed, browsing his phone. Mu Chiye tightened his grip, telling him that he should have told the truth.

It is Shen Zhi's job to make the decision, not his.

"Move to the side," Mu Chiye pushed Shen Zhi, "How can we be so embarrassed to have so many people occupying half the bed?"

Shen Zhi angrily moved to the side to give Mu Chiye Teng some space.

"Let me tell you something," Mu Chiye nudged Shen Zhi with his arm, speaking in a casual tone.

Shen Zhi turned over and sat up, hugging his arms like a little puffer fish.

"Go ahead and say it," Shen Zhi urged Mu Chiye, who was not yet ready to start speaking.

Mu Chiye's voice choked, and his eyes fell on Shen Zhi's face with a proud look.

"Why haven't you applied iodine yet?" Mu Chiye frowned and said, "What if you get disfigured? Who wants you?"

Mu Chiye took out a simple first aid box and insisted on applying medicine to Shen Zhi. He then put a Band-Aid with a piggy picture on it on Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi was speechless. What could this small hole do to Mu Chiye?

Shen Zhi said angrily: "Then I will die of your kindness."

Mu Chiye curled his lips and reached out to pinch Shen Zhi's soft flesh. It was smooth and the fat he had gained in the past few days felt very good.

Shen Zhiwulai's words inexplicably made Mu Chiye smile.

"Little rascal," Mu Chiye cursed with a smile.

Shen Zhi knocked Mu Chiye's hand away, "Can you please speak quickly?"

Mu Chiye opened his mouth but was interrupted by a phone call.

The person on the other side said anxiously, "Boss Mu, the G-brand sunglasses you wore when you had the car accident were found to be fake and became a hot topic. Now the sales of pilot sunglasses have plummeted, and a large number of customers have returned them."

Mu Chiye hung up the phone and clicked on the trending search.

“The quality of G is still the same”

“G’s fakes are of better quality than the real ones”

"The big victim of buying G's house"

Black hot searches are hot on the entry.

Mu Chiye turned off his phone and looked at Shen Zhi with complicated eyes.

He still remembered that Shen Zhi saved him because of his G-family sunglasses when he was in a car accident. Now it was found out that they were fake. Should he say it was fate?

"What's wrong?" Shen Zhiwen asked.

Mu Chiye pressed his warm fingertips to the corners of Shen Zhi's eyes and sighed, "Shen Zhi, if you recognize me, what will you do now?"
