Pei Ze had a dark stubble on his chin, a circle of black under his eyes, and red veins in his eyes. He looked at Zhou Man with red eyes, "Man Man, I really was plotted against."
Since leaving the family, his business has been in tatters. Within six months, he'd lost over 500 million yuan, and his entire coffers were completely drained. Seeing the company become a bottomless pit, unwilling to sit idly by and wait for its downfall, Pei Ze chose to lower his pride and attend more banquets. Yesterday, while attending the Qiao family banquet, someone who had previously disliked him forced him to drink a few more glasses of wine. The wine had been spiked, and when he woke up, he found himself in the same bed with Qiao Ningzhi, with traces of his presence still on her body.
When Zhou Man came to find Qiao Ningzhi, she happened to see this scene.
Unfortunately, the Qiao family did not install any surveillance cameras, so Pei Ze had no way to defend himself.
Zhou Man looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Whether it was a plot or not, it's a fact that you betrayed me. Miss Qiao has always liked you, and you have to take responsibility for her."
"Let's break off the engagement."
As she said this, Zhou Man felt a sigh of relief. Qiao Ningzhi had been in love with Aze for a long time and had even tried to trip her up in private, but after being disciplined by Aze and his brother, she no longer dared to do so.
Even after Aze was expelled from the Pei family, he refused to give up and often sent gifts to Aze. When Zhou Man learned that the Qiao family was hosting a banquet, she flirted and went with Pei Ze. Meanwhile, she had someone whisper subtle hints in Qiao Ningzhi's ear, urging her to make things happen.
Qiao Ningzhi was more decisive than she had imagined and acted without hesitation.
Not only was she able to break off her engagement with Pei Ze, she also became a sympathetic victim. Over the past few days, Zhou Man has received many text messages comforting her.
Pei Ze looked at her painfully, "Are you really going to leave me?"
Zhou Man's heart was calm, but her face was filled with tears, and she looked extremely sad. "We are not destined to be together."
Zhou Yuntang couldn't stand it any longer and rushed over, pushing Pei Ze to the ground. Pei Ze was not paying attention and his hand was rubbed by the stone, leaving a bleeding mark. "That's enough. You have already done something wrong to Manman. How dare you show up in front of Manman?"
"No matter you were plotted against or not, it's a fact that you have wronged Manman. If you continue to pester Manman, don't blame me for being rude." As he said that, he asked people to drive Pei Ze out and ordered the guards not to let Pei Ze in in the future.
Zhou Man looked at Pei Ze's dejected expression and thought to herself: If he breaks off the engagement with her, Pei Ze's parents will definitely forgive him. With the Pei family around, he won't have to suffer like he has during this period. She is doing this for his own good.
Thinking of this, the guilt in my heart was reduced a little.
Zhou Man and Pei Ze's marriage was cancelled. But although the engagement was cancelled, what surprised everyone was that Pei Ze did not get engaged to Qiao Ningzhi, and the Qiao family did not make a fuss, but instead said it was all a misunderstanding.
Strange? Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Pei Ze was being schemed against by the Qiao family. It was the Qiao family's daughter who had to hang herself on Pei Ze's tree. This time, they had the upper hand, and they were just letting it go.
Shi Miao was well aware of the situation. After all, Mrs. Pei, Su Xiping, never hid these things from her and often took the initiative to feed her with information.
Su Xiping said, "My son has suffered for over six months, but he hasn't grown much. He was so drunk, how could he have sex with someone? When I got the news, I rushed straight to the Qiao family and took her to the police station for an examination."
The fluid remaining in Qiao Ningzhi's body can be tested for DNA.
Shi Miao understood, "It seems he was framed."
It’s no wonder that the Qiao family kept silent. If they dared to make a move, Su Xiping would have directly exposed it, and it would have been the Qiao family that would have been embarrassed.
Su Xiping probably didn't make it public in order to cancel the engagement between Zhou Man and Pei Ze. As a mother, no matter how disappointed she was with Pei Ze, she didn't want to see him continue to be involved with Zhou Man.
Even after the engagement was broken off, the Pei family refused to let Pei Ze return. He couldn't even handle such an obvious scheme; he still deserved a beating from society. Su Xiping simply ignored the situation, saying he wasn't destined for the streets.
However, after Pei Ze's engagement was cancelled, he successfully signed two contracts. Although they were not big orders, it was a good start for the company to stop its decline.
Shi Miao met with Pei Ze. The last time they met was several months ago. Compared to that time, Pei Ze's luck had decreased significantly. His luck used to be over ten times that of an average person, but now it was even less. Shi Miao was stunned by the change. This... Zhou Man was truly ruthless. She had taken away so much luck. No wonder Pei Ze's business had failed so many times before.
Now that the engagement was broken off, it was indeed a good thing for Pei Ze. His luck would gradually improve, but no matter what, it would never return to its original state.
…
After the engagement was settled, Zhou Man's reputation in the circle began to improve. On the one hand, it was because she took good care of the old lady of the Zuo family who was paralyzed by a stroke. On the other hand, it was because the scar removal cream and skin cream she gave away at the birthday party were unanimously praised by the circle.
The skin of the wealthy ladies and daughters who used it was completely renewed. After being amazed by the results, they extended a hand of friendship to Zhou Man in order to maintain this state.
Zhou Man posted a Weibo.
Zhou Man V: My handsome brother as always, always guarding me like a knight, heart.jpg
She also attached several videos, including one showing her two brothers holding her skirt at a birthday party.
Zhou Man had a very bad reputation. Whenever she posted something on Weibo, she was met with a barrage of sarcasm and ridicule. Zhou Man ignored the sarcastic comments and let the online trolls focus on the faces of her two brothers.
