Chapter 3: The Overlord "goes bankrupt" and asks for cohabitation



"You were fine this afternoon, but you're bankrupt just because you got the certificate?!" Pei Zhiyu obviously didn't believe it.

She clearly remembered that Qin Hezhou was a very wealthy second-generation rich man, so how could he go bankrupt so easily?

Qin Hezhou paused for a moment before answering, "It happened so suddenly. Now my house is full of debt collectors coming to collect debts violently. I can't go back."

"Then you can stay in a hotel." Pei Zhiyu said helplessly.

Qin Hezhou shook his head, "No money."

"Can you take off that Rolex before you say you have no money?" Pei Zhiyu was furious.

Unexpectedly, Qin Hezhou quickly took off his watch and stuffed it into Pei Zhiyu's arms, saying, "It's fake, parallel import, and worthless."

"???" Pei Zhiyu was surprised and a little shaken. After a mental struggle, she asked, "How much do you owe?"

"A few million." Qin Hezhou lied.

Pei Zhiyu was skeptical. "Where are your family members? Is there no one to help you?"

"My parents passed away a few years ago, and my grandmother is hiding from creditors in the countryside."

Seeing Pei Zhiyu's expression soften, he quickly struck while the iron was hot and acted pitiful and obedient:

"Didn't your agreement say you'd support me? I thought... Well, forget it if it's difficult. I'll just sleep in the phone booth."

Pei Zhiyu smiled stiffly, "There are no phone booths in the city."

She wondered why this person was playing the victim without any basis, and suddenly remembered that Qin Hezhou had insisted on sharing a car with her to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau that afternoon...

Could it be that the family has really fallen on hard times?

"I will definitely do what I promised. Although I am not a rich man, I can still come up with hundreds of thousands of dollars." Pei Zhiyu stuffed the watch back into Qin Hezhou's hand.

Qin Hezhou was a little surprised. He didn't expect Pei Zhiyu to want to help him pay off his debts. "Give me so much money, what about you?"

Pei Zhiyu knew that Qin Hezhou must have regarded her as a poor woman who had been cheated of her money and sex and was not tolerated by her own father.

In fact, she is at least the director of Ward's R&D department. Even if she is not as wealthy as the second-generation rich, she still has hundreds of thousands of savings.

"I'm not as miserable as you think. You can stay at my house tonight, but you have to find a job as soon as possible. I can only help you temporarily, but I can't take care of you forever."

Hearing Pei Zhiyu say this, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, and actually felt that having a wife was quite good.

Qin Hezhou repeated to himself many times: We are just partners, she is not my wife... I don't feel sorry for her, I just feel sorry for her.

A "thank you" with a smile was heard, and Pei Zhiyu continued on his way.

She didn't look back and said hesitantly, "Who made me owe you this?" Just think of it as paying off the debt from that year.

Thinking of this, Pei Zhiyu took Qin Hezhou back to the community they had just moved to - Ruijing Garden. At that time, she was anxious to move out of Fu Yan's place, so she just found a suitable house and signed the contract.

Now it seems that this place only has convenient transportation, but other supporting facilities are incomplete, and there is definitely no elevator.

It is inevitable that a nobleman like Qin Hezhou, who grew up in a Xiangshan villa, would feel a little disgusted.

At first he endured it, but when Pei Zhiyu took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it several times but failed to open it, Qin Hezhou could no longer bear it.

He stepped forward, grabbed the key, thrust it in, and twisted it hard.

With a bang!

The moment the door opened——

A huge black shadow pounced on him, and Qin Hezhou was pushed back repeatedly, barely able to stand by holding on to the handrail.

Qin Hezhou looked at the furry creature in his arms and looked at Pei Zhiyu in confusion: "You actually have a dog?! And it's a large dog."

He remembered that Pei Zhiyu was scared to tears by a dog in high school. Is he not afraid now?

Pei Zhiyu was only concerned with bringing the dog into the house and gave a perfunctory answer.

The room was all white, but Qin Hezhou touched it and found some dust...

"Don't you usually live like this?" he asked.

"I just moved in and haven't done much to clean up." Pei Zhiyu noticed Qin Hezhou's flash of disdain. "Master Qin, you should act like a bankrupt when you go bankrupt. Only by facing reality can you have a chance to make a comeback."

Qin Hezhou, who was being ridiculed, knew he was in the wrong and stopped talking.

Pei Zhiyu wanted to leash the dog but missed it. When she turned around, she saw Alaska biting Qin Hezhou's hand tightly and pouncing on her, which scared her and she screamed.

With a snap, the toy ball fell to the ground, and the man and the dog looked at Pei Zhiyu in a daze.

"Don't worry, I'm just playing." Qin Hezhou reacted and smiled at her, comforting her.

Pei Zhiyu did not respond. She rescued Oreo from a dog dealer a few years ago. Because he was abused by his previous owner, he would bite any man he saw and would not let go easily.

When Fu Yan first entered the house, he was bitten by it and had to stay in bed for a full half month before he recovered.

But now it was facing Qin Hezhou——

Wagging tail!?

Tsk.

Pei Zhiyu shook his head violently, unwilling to think about it anymore.

Seeing his master's expression ease, Oreo picked up the ball and rubbed it against Qin Hezhou's legs, wanting to continue playing. Qin Hezhou didn't mind the dirtiness and took the toy while teasing Pei Zhiyu, "Oreo? You're quite good at naming things."

After dinner, Pei Zhiyu brought out a set of women's pajamas from the bedroom and handed it to Qin Hezhou. He looked at it twice but didn't take it.

"Is it not suitable for me to wear?" Qin Hezhou frowned.

Pei Zhiyu curled his lips, not wanting to indulge his young master's temper, and turned around to go wash up.

Before leaving, she turned back to remind Qin Hezhou, "I don't have an iron."

Qin Hezhou didn't say anything until Pei Zhiyu finished washing up and was about to go back to the bedroom to sleep when someone grabbed him.

"So I have to sleep with it?" he asked, pointing at the dog.

Young Master Qin had lived for over twenty years and had never slept with anyone, let alone a dog. Besides, with Oreo being as big as him, there was no room left for him to sleep on the sofa.

Pei Zhiyu crossed his arms in thought, muttering, "It's indeed not appropriate."

"Actually, sleeping in the bedroom is also..." Qin Hezhou realized he had misunderstood halfway through his words.

Because Pei Zhiyu walked past him and took the dog back to the bedroom, and she politely said good night before closing the door.

Young Master Qin laughed at himself and accepted his fate.

Pei Zhiyu has been having nightmares since his grandfather passed away. The strange thing is that the person he dreamed of today was Qin Hezhou.

In the dream, Pei Zhiyu foolishly gave him all his savings, but in the end he found out that he and Fu Yan were in cahoots.

The blind date and bankruptcy were all scams, just to get revenge on her.

Pei Zhiyu was so frightened by this nightmare that he broke out in a cold sweat and woke up at dawn.

She came to the living room wrapped in a thin coat, only to see Qin Hezhou sleeping curled up on the sofa in a suit.
