Chen Jiaojiao had a lot of prepaid money, and after buying clothes, she had 16,000 left. She could use it to buy paint and touch up the smoke-blackened walls to restore them as much as possible.
She would report to the homeowners after everything was tidied up.
If they still insisted on accountability, then there was nothing she could do.
But before he could implement his plan, he met Zhan Jingchun. He didn't dare to play any tricks in front of her.
"I can't think of a solution."
Seeing his large frame standing there spouting such foolish words, Zhan Jingchun was so angry that she couldn't help but lash out again.
"Just be stupid forever, you blockhead, you'll never figure anything out in this life!"
Although it was only a one-second contact, Peng Fei was very happy to feel her strength and warmth.
He wished he could be more annoying and say more foolish things, just so she would hit him again.
"I'm not smart, you know that. You're the smartest in the family."
As expected, this statement angered Zhan Jingchun.
"Who is family with you?"
She turned and twisted his arm again.
Peng Fei was so happy he wanted to laugh. It felt like they were back in that small bedroom, still a couple.
After hitting him, Zhan Jingchun noticed the smile on his face and realized he had done it on purpose.
Her face flushed, and she stomped her foot on the ground in anger.
"You've only been out for a few days and you're already learning bad habits? Peng Fei, you're really incorrigible!"
Peng Fei put away his smile and immediately said with a serious expression.
"I haven't learned bad habits. Besides you, I wouldn't dare say this to anyone else. Alright, I won't tease you anymore."
"Chun Chun, you're smart, can you help me think of a way?"
"It's just one room that burned, the other places are just smoke-blackened, can they be fixed?"
Zhan Jianchun hadn't recovered from her embarrassment and said proudly.
"Why should I help you? Do you know my net worth? It costs money to ask for my help, can you afford it?"
Peng Fei couldn't afford it, so after she finished speaking, he fell silent again.
Zhan Jingchun really didn't know what to do with him.
Sometimes he was so quiet you wished he would talk more, but he wouldn't. Yet, when you didn't expect him to say anything, he would secretly play tricks.
It was hard to tell if he was smart or stupid.
"Alright, don't give me that sulky look all the time, like I owe you something? If it weren't for Xiang Siyuan, I wouldn't bother with this mess."
"Don't call Chen Jiaojiao to report yet. Go wash your face, change your clothes, clean yourself up, and meet me at my place. I'll think of a solution for you guys."
She was that nice? She wanted him to come to her house? And help think of a solution?
Meeting his surprised gaze, Zhan Jingchun said proudly again.
"I told you, it's for Xiang Siyuan, I don't want her to get beaten when she goes home, it's not for you, so don't get too pleased with yourself."
"Also, keep your mouth shut. If you dare let a third person know about our relationship, I'm done with you!"
Peng Fei understood, he certainly wouldn't say anything.
Seeing that he had a chance to go to Zhan Jingchun's house, he grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible. Thank you for your trouble, Chun Chun."
When Zhan Jingchun returned home, the living room was filled with a crowd of boys.
They weren't injured and had cleaned themselves up. Facing the bright sunlight outside the window, they looked quite pleasing to the eye.
It was a shame that this group of good-looking rich second-generation youths said nothing worth listening to.
They were all complaining about Peng Fei's strictness, how harsh he was on them, how they were starving, and how he was more ruthless than any instructor they had encountered before.
Zhan Jingchun, whether out of a sense of justice or subconscious favoritism towards Peng Fei, pushed Xiang Siyuan on the head when he was talking the most enthusiastically.
"Shut up. To be a person like you, I don't know if it's your failure or your parents' failure."
"You've read so much, did it all go to the dogs? You can't even distinguish right from wrong?"
"Why did your mother hire an instructor for you? It's for your own good. Besides, the instructor could slack off, they could indulge you, but would you realize your own problems like this?"
"Being dedicated and responsible is called being a pervert by you. Do you really want to grow up to be hooligans, live off your inheritance, and become those detestable prodigal sons written in history books?"
Being spoken to like this by a beautiful older sister, the other boys felt a bit embarrassed.
Xiang Siyuan also did, but he remained stubborn.
"I know my mother did this for my own good, but there was no need to be so harsh..."
Zhan Jingchun said, "If you act like a jerk less, and he gets angry at you for no reason again, I'll twist my head off!"
"You're already so old, can you try to find the reason within yourself when something happens? If you keep complaining and blaming others, like a resentful woman, I won't recognize you as my brother anymore."
Xiang Siyuan was speechless. The others sat there obediently, and Zhan Jingchun continued.
"I won't tell your mother about this, it won't do you any good if she knows. But if the house isn't cleaned up, the matter will be exposed sooner or later, so cleaning up the house from now on will be your responsibility."
"Ah? We clean the house? Are you kidding? Who knows how? Besides, it's burned like that, how do we clean it?"
"Isn't there Instructor Peng? He'll lead you. Listen to him obediently from now on. I'll help you cover up any lies I can, but if you insist on continuing to act out, then please, you're responsible for the consequences."
Soon, Peng Fei cleaned himself up, changed into new clothes, and walked in, looking refreshed.
The sales assistant recommended a beige half-high collar sweater for his build, paired with a black minimalist short cotton jacket, black casual pants, and white sports shoes.
With his lean and straight physique, he looked tall and handsome, sunny and athletic.
From the moment he appeared at the door, everyone's eyes were on him. As he walked, he was like a model on a runway, so stylish and with such a strong aura.
Everyone was captivated by his handsomeness.
Even Zhan Jingchun couldn't help but sigh inwardly as she glanced at him again. Had she lived with such a handsome man for several months before?
His body proportions were really good, and his features were truly outstanding.
If their child were successfully born, it would surely be very beautiful...
Bah, bah, bah, Zhan Jingchun, what are you thinking?!
Peng Fei arrived in front of the group. Facing these boys, he was still very serious, his hands unconsciously clasped behind his back.
"You violated the rules and left the house. Today, you will all be punished uniformly. Choose between an hour of jogging or 500 sets of squats and frog jumps."
"Ah?" A chorus of wails.
He remained expressionless and continued.
"I also made a mistake today. I'll do it with you. After exercising, we'll clean the house together. Does anyone have any objections?"
Seeing him like this, who would dare to object? Even if they had an objection, they had to keep it to themselves.
No one spoke.
"No one is speaking, so I'll take it as your consent. Let's go, follow me back."
Zhan Jingchun was surprised to discover that this man, who was so submissive in front of her, actually had such a decisive and domineering side.
Looking at him talking to these brats, he really looked like an instructor.
