Mr. Xu opened his mouth, staring at Pei Fengzhi in utter shock and horror, his head buzzing.
What did Pei Fengzhi say?!
He said that the woman he almost slapped just now was Pei Fengzhi's new wife?!
At this moment, Mr. Xu wished he could travel back a few minutes to his earlier self and slap his brainless self a few times to bring him to his senses.
Unfortunately, there is no time machine in the world.
Mr. Xu's legs, which had just stood up, gave way again. He stumbled and fell to the ground, struggling to get up again.
"I...I..."
Mr. Xu's eyes were filled with tears, which he could no longer hold back. He lay prostrate on the ground, snot streaming down his face, so frightened that he turned into a lump of mud that couldn't be plastered on the wall.
On the ground, a mass of rotten flesh trembled violently, and after a long while, it finally cried out.
"Please forgive me! I really didn't know anything, I'll never do it again!"
The corridor was dimly lit, and no one spoke. The silence in this not-so-closed space was suffocating.
Snap. Snap. Snap.
Only the sound of grinding the prayer beads echoed in the space.
Pei Fengzhi was carrying a long string of Buddhist prayer beads, with a total of 108 beads. They were made of imperial green icy jadeite and were said to have been used by Empress Dowager Cixi. After being lost for a hundred years, they reappeared in Wolong Temple and were given to Pei Fengzhi by Abbot Xuanzhi, who said they could protect him from a great calamity.
After that, Pei Fengzhi always wore it close to his body.
Many people who know the inside story believe that Pei Fengzhi was able to escape death from such a serious car accident and wake up from a vegetative state four years later because of the protection of this Buddhist bead.
Naturally, Old Master Pei thought the same way, so he kept telling Pei Fengzhi to always wear it.
Achoo!
A sneeze suddenly broke the silence, shattering the suffocating atmosphere.
Everyone subconsciously turned around to look at Ye Ningwan, who was standing next to Pei Fengzhi.
Ye Ningwan looked embarrassed. She forced a smile and said...
Why do I feel a little cold?
She touched herself with both hands, wanting to find a tissue to wipe her nose, but found that she was wearing a well-tailored dress with no pockets at all.
Hmm...this is even more awkward, what should I do...?
Suddenly, a hand reached out to Ye Ningwan. The fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles. On the handkerchief was a silk handkerchief embroidered with a few bamboo leaves and a small phoenix character in the corner.
Ye Ningwan held it in her hand, suddenly feeling a little reluctant to use it.
Pei Fengzhi smiled as he looked at her, took the handkerchief, and wiped her face.
A bodyguard had already brought a coat, which Pei Fengzhi draped over Ye Ningwan's shoulders. He touched her slightly cool fingers and gently instructed her.
"The temperature difference between day and night is large now, so remember to wear an extra layer when you go out alone in the future."
Ye Ning nodded, behaving unusually obediently.
"Um."
Pei Fengzhi didn't mind her pretending to be obedient. On the contrary, he thought his little wife was really obedient and cute in front of him. Who wouldn't like their own little kitten to be gentle and obedient to them, but fierce to outsiders?
Pei Fengzhi looked at her with a smile.
"This person bullied you, so I think it's best to let you deal with it. You can vent your anger however you like."
Ye Ningwan glanced at President Xu, who was lying on the ground trying to minimize his presence, and slightly curled the corners of her lips, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of cunning.
"Investigate him. He's probably gotten so fat and bloated all these years by relying on his brother-in-law's influence. There must be something fishy going on behind his back. Once we find out, we'll deal with whatever needs to be done."
Ye Ningwan was unwilling to use vigilante justice on anyone, especially since although the person in front of her was arrogant, he hadn't actually laid a hand on her, so Ye Ningwan had no reason to make trouble for him.
However, Ye Ningwan had just done a quick check on this person, and his background was far from clean. He had to pay the price for all the embezzlement and dirty deeds he had committed.
Ye Ningwan didn't say it explicitly, but she believed that Pei Fengzhi would naturally handle such a small matter without a problem.
However, after she finished speaking, Pei Fengzhi narrowed her long phoenix eyes and looked at Ye Ningwan, her smile suddenly becoming meaningful.
"My Wanwan is such a kind person."
Ye Ningwan was not afraid of him. She looked back and calmly explained.
"I just want to punish a bad person through legal means. Of course, I don't mind using violence if there's absolutely no other way. But at least not now!"
After a moment, Pei Fengzhi waved to Jiang Yinglin and gave the order.
"Let's do as Madam says."
Jiang Yinglin glanced at Ye Ningwan before lowering his head again.
"yes."
After saying this, Jiang Yinglin grabbed the trembling Mr. Xu by the collar, lifted him up, and turned to push open the door to the escape route.
"Please...please..."
Mr. Xu pleaded pitifully, his weak voice coming through the crack in the door that wasn't quite closed.
Jiang Yinglin snorted coldly and said in a displeased tone.
"Shut up if you don't want to die!"
Mr. Xu was probably sobbing and saying something, but unfortunately the escape route door had already been closed, so Ye Ningwan couldn't hear what he said clearly.
Suddenly, Pei Fengzhi gripped her hand tightly, and the force of his grip made Ye Ningwan look away.
Why are you only thinking about others and not even looking at me?
Ye Ningwan smiled faintly.
"What could you possibly want? Why aren't you standing right in front of me?"
Pei Fengzhi sighed softly and looked at Ye Ningwan, asking in a low voice.
"Wanwan...can't you tell I'm angry?"
There was even a hint of grievance in his tone.
Ye Ningwan was puzzled for a moment.
"What?"
Is Pei Fengzhi angry? Why?
Pei Fengzhi pulled her in front of him and put his arm around her waist.
"Why didn't you come to me if you were wronged?"
Ye Ningwan pouted, thinking to herself: I haven't really been wronged.
After all, even if Pei Fengzhi hadn't come, President Xu definitely wouldn't have hit her in the face; she's not dead.
However, she naturally couldn't say that when facing Pei Fengzhi.
Ye Ningwan didn't even answer the question. Instead, she looked meaningfully at Pei Fengzhi's hand that was pinching her fingertips and asked a question.
"Where is Miss Chen? You didn't just leave her alone in the private room, did you? That's so inconsiderate of you."
Both being thousand-year-old foxes who have become spirits, Pei Fengzhi certainly knew what this little fox, Ye Ningwan, was thinking.
“I let her go. After you went to the restroom, I had someone take her home. She's emotionally unstable and not suitable to continue working. Besides…”
Pei Fengzhi's sharp gaze was fixed on Ye Ningwan's face.
"I came with my wife. Wouldn't you be angry if I got so close to other women?"
"Or is it that, Wanwan... you deliberately dumped me on Chen Xingxue?"
