"Pei Fengzhi, put your clothes on properly! I'm your older sister, you have no manners at all!"
The person who arrived was none other than Miss Pei, Pei Mingzhu.
Hearing Pei Mingzhu say this, Pei Fengzhi didn't care. He just chuckled and casually leaned back on the single sofa next to him, crossing one leg over the other, completely unconcerned about how disheveled he looked in front of Pei Mingzhu.
In private, he was completely different from his usual aloof and cold demeanor, especially when he was full and satisfied. He was like a satiated beast, his long, sharp eyes lazily narrowed, leaning back on the sofa with a contented and joyful air.
His long black hair fell loose on the back of the chair. He lit a cigarette, held it between his fingers, and exhaled wisps of white smoke into the air.
Pei Mingzhu frowned, her face showing some displeasure. But as soon as she was about to say something, she seemed to remember something and suddenly swallowed the words back down her throat.
She let out a long sigh as if admitting defeat, and said to Pei Fengzhi.
"I just got back from the hospital."
Pei Fengzhi raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, really?"
He looked up at the huge clock hanging in the living room and spoke calmly to Pei Mingzhu.
"It's so late, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this, Pei Mingzhu reacted as if a cat had been stepped on. She suddenly stood up from the sofa, pounced on Pei Fengzhi, grabbed the collar of his robe, and growled through gritted teeth with a ferocious expression.
"Pei Fengzhi, don't you know why I came here? It's all your fault!"
Pei Fengzhi looked surprised and innocent as she stared at Pei Mingzhu, seemingly not quite understanding what she meant.
When Pei Mingzhu saw Pei Fengzhi's harmless appearance, her face became even more ferocious, and she gritted her teeth as she spoke to Pei Fengzhi word by word.
"Do I have to explain to you what Dad meant by his last words after dinner tonight? He's trying to deflect attention from the situation; those people think I'm on your side!"
“They thought I was on your side, but they didn’t dare to vent their anger on you or on Dad, so they took it out on me! Pei Fengzhi! Dad took the blame for you, so why am I the one who suffers!”
Pei Mingzhu loosened her grip on Pei Fengzhi's robe, then slid her fingers upwards, her ten fingers turning pale, and forcefully gripped Pei Fengzhi's neck.
Pei Mingzhu's commotion finally alerted the mercenaries lurking in the villa halfway up the mountain. A group of men emerged from the darkness into the living room, their dark gun barrels pointed at Pei Mingzhu.
The leader's gaze was cold and fierce as he warned Pei Mingzhu in a deep voice.
"Let go!"
Pei Mingzhu turned to look at the mercenaries surrounding her, and she roared hysterically at them like a madwoman.
"I won't let go! What can you do to me? Go ahead and shoot me if you dare! Kill me!"
As she finished speaking, she turned her head and roared at Pei Fengzhi.
"Pei Fengzhi, you'd better kill me! If I die here today, I'll make sure you're on the front page tomorrow, and let the whole world know how the Ninth Master of the prestigious Pei Group killed his own sister in a fight for the family fortune!"
"Pei Fengzhi, just kill me! My Tangtang is already almost killed by them anyway, I might as well not live either!"
"I don't want to live anymore!!!"
Pei Mingzhu's roar not only attracted the mercenaries under Pei Fengzhi, but also woke up Ye Ningwan.
The room was dimly lit, with no lights on, only a sliver of moonlight shining in from the window, its pale glow falling on a corner of the bed, cold and frosty.
Annoyed by the noise below, Ye Ningwan frowned and pulled at the blanket covering her, then instinctively rolled around on the bed, wrapping herself up in the blanket like a thick cocoon.
But I still felt cold, and it was getting colder and colder.
Ye Ningwan burrowed deeper into the blankets, but no matter what she did, she couldn't warm up and was so cold that she couldn't fall asleep.
Adding to the commotion, the constant screams of a woman echoed in her ears, and Ye Ningwan suddenly sat up from under the covers, angrily slamming her fists twice against the lifted blankets, causing the entire mattress to bounce.
Ye Ningwan let out a dissatisfied huff from her throat, barely regaining some of her senses from her morning grumpiness, and groggily turned her head to look at the other side of the bed.
Bathed in the cool moonlight, Ye Ningwan saw that the bed beside her was empty. She reached out and touched the bed; it was cold. Pei Fengzhi had been gone for a long time, for some reason.
Ye Ningwan looked up and around the bedroom, but did not see Pei Fengzhi.
She called out instinctively.
"Pei Fengzhi?"
Pei Fengzhi has disappeared.
At that moment, the screams and roars of a woman from afar became clearer, howling like a vengeful ghost wailing in the dead of night in Ye Ningwan's ears.
"Pei Fengzhi, if you have the guts, then kill me!"
Ye Ningwan frowned, looking rather displeased.
Pei Fengzhi was not in his own bed most of the night, but with a woman, and they seemed to be arguing, and arguing quite fiercely.
Ye Ningwan's lips curled into a mocking sneer, her fingers clenching so tightly that her knuckles cracked with a crisp, cold sound.
"Pei Fengzhi, you're really something!"
He brought women home!
This sounds like she's thinking about getting a divorce!
