"Did you guys conspire to set me up?!"
Pei Yuanyuan's eyes widened, pointing at Qin Hezhou and Pei Zhiyu and shouting angrily: "Pei Zhiyu! You, you——"
She was furious.
His technologically advanced face was tense, the veins on the back of his hands bulged, and he was so angry that he couldn't even finish his words. In the end, he could only let out a meaningless and piercing scream.
Impotent rage.
“Heh…” Pei Zhiyu couldn’t help but sneer at this situation. She whispered to Qin Hezhou, “It’s really retribution.”
Qin Hezhou lowered his head and looked at her red eyes, looking thoughtful.
Pei Zhiyu didn't notice. She kept talking to herself: "In fact, there is no need for you to do anything. I thought she had improved, but in the end she is still like this, just throwing tantrums and rolling around. Really——"
Her words were interrupted.
The still cool palm was placed on her eyes, and the cool touch relieved the burning sensation caused by tears.
"Qin Hezhou? What are you doing?" she asked helplessly.
But before I could get a reply, I felt a gust of wind blowing past me.
Then, a "bang" sound was heard.
It sounded like someone fell heavily to the ground. Judging from the sobbing and spitting, the person who fell should be Pei Yuanyuan.
She fell in the crowd in a mess, rubbing her wrist, and seemed to be in disbelief that Qin Hezhou dared to hit her: "You, a gigolo, dare to do this to me!?"
Pei Yuanyuan was so engrossed in her scolding that she even forgot that there were paparazzi and reporters at the scene that she had specially invited.
The sound of camera shutters clicking and a loud slap rang out at the same time!
Pei Zhiyu was a little confused. She tried to pull Qin Hezhou's hand off, but failed. "Why are you doing this in front of me? I don't even know what happened?"
Qin Hezhou scoffed, "Pei Yuanyuan was slapped by her father."
Then he covered Pei Zhiyu's eyes more tightly and said calmly, "Don't look at dirty things. It affects your mood and makes you prone to nightmares. You don't sleep well anyway."
Pei Zhiyu's eyelashes flickered twice, and a tickling sensation arose in his palm: "You are really considerate."
He could tell she was teasing him, so Qin Hezhou accepted it happily and said complacently, "Thank you for the compliment."
“…”
Amidst the noisy discussions and the quarrel between Pei Guangyuan and his daughter, the two of them seemed so...
Out of place.
It was as if these things had nothing to do with them, they were just an ordinary couple who accidentally walked into the trial.
There's even some time to flirt...
Pei Yuanyuan felt even more unbalanced.
——Why can this bitch Pei Zhiyu have so much, why does her father favor her, why!!!
She wanted to take action again when the time was right, but this time Qin Hezhou didn't even look at her.
Because Pei Guangyuan had dragged the man back first, his face was filled with anger: "What are you doing! Don't you understand what I'm saying? Go home!"
"Dad! Why should I leave? What are you afraid of? He's just a gigolo—"
"You know shit!" Pei Guangyuan dragged Pei Yuanyuan to the door, leaned in close and said to her with gritted teeth: "I asked the housekeeper to check. That man is not the cowherd you mentioned. He is Qin Hezhou, the heir of the Qin family!"
"Whether our family can turn things around depends on him. You're still making a fuss. Do you know that if he wants to kill you, it's as easy as crushing an ant..."
He loosened his daughter's clothes and shouted in a deep voice, "Go home!"
After saying that, Pei Guangyuan immediately suppressed his anger and humbly wanted to talk to Qin Hezhou about the company's matters.
Qin Hezhou naturally didn't give him this opportunity. He took Pei Zhiyu's hand and walked towards the door.
Wherever he passed, the crowd unconsciously made way for him.
Pei Guangyuan did not give up. He followed them all the way to the garage.
The driver had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Qin Hezhou coming, he immediately got out of the car and opened the back door for them.
"Wait for me in the car first." He pushed Pei Zhiyu into the car and said, "I'll be back soon, don't get out."
Pei Zhiyu: “Eh…”
Before she could say anything, the car door was locked: "?"
The driver coughed guiltily: "Madam, please listen to Mr. Qin."
"I don't want to go down either..." Pei Zhiyu muttered softly.
I wasn't worried at first, but the locked door, coupled with Qin Hezhou's gloomy expression, made me feel inexplicably uneasy.
Pei Zhiyu leaned on the car window to see what was happening outside, only to see Pei Guangyuan speaking to Qin Hezhou with a servile smile on his face, but Qin Hezhou didn't seem to want to pay attention.
He only said one sentence.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Guangyuan's wrinkled old face turned green and he froze in place, unable to move.
When he got back to the car, Pei Zhiyu asked curiously, "What did you say to him? Why did he get so angry that his face turned so ugly..."
"I'll tell him." Qin Hezhou looked puzzled and said disdainfully, "I hate doing business with scumbags the most. The promises of those who betray their marriages are useless."
"You..." Pei Zhiyu opened his mouth, but no words came out.
She knew very well that Qin Hezhou did these things largely for her own sake.
I'm touched, but I don't know how to express it.
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Hezhou took the initiative to ask, "Why don't you continue?"
"If you are touched and want to thank me, there is no need." He gently brushed her hair aside, and when he looked at Pei Zhiyu, the corners of his mouth always rose unconsciously.
"Why?" Pei Zhiyu wondered.
"Um……"
He pretended to think, and after a moment's silence, he answered her: "I don't need your thanks. Everything I did was just because I wanted to do it for you and to protect you. It wasn't done for any purpose—"
Having said this, Qin Hezhou suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something. He laughed at himself and continued:
"If I must say there's a purpose, then I hope you can see my sincerity... and my true feelings towards you."
Pei Zhiyu was even more at a loss at the sudden expression of sincerity. She subconsciously glanced at the driver in the front seat.
Qin Hezhou seemed to be able to see through her heart at a glance. The next second, the partition between the front and rear seats slowly rose up, blocking her view.
Pei Zhiyu: "Hmm?"
"Now you have nothing to worry about. Whatever you want to say or do..." He leaned close to Pei Zhiyu's ear and said as if to seduce her, "You can do whatever you want."
The distance between them was so close that if she moved her head slightly, she would be stuck to the other person.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her voice and gritted her teeth:
"Qin Hezhou...you did it on purpose."
