Everyone not only discussed it privately but also continued the discussion in the group chat after the meeting.
Soon, the news of Pei Kexin getting close to Young Master Zhan San reached Pei Zongrui's ears.
Pei Zongrui was greatly shocked. That damned woman, Pei Kexin, really had some skills.
Not only did she get close to Yao Dongzhuo, but she also had a connection with Young Master Zhan.
No wonder the old master had just passed away, and Zhan's Group came to acquire Pei's right after. It turned out to be all the doing of this traitor!
In front of him, she even pretended to sever ties with the Yao family? Such a hypocritical woman, didn't she say she was married? And that she had been in love with that useless man for many years?
Being involved with other men and then acting pure in front of him?
The more Pei Dongrui thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt like he had been tricked and swore he wouldn't rest until he got revenge!
Pei Kexin returned to her office from the first floor, and Zhan Jingchen was waiting for her.
She couldn't help but ask him, "What did you give me to drink just now? It was one thing not to speak in front of so many people, but you even publicly handed me water. I really don't know what you were thinking."
Zhan Jingchen retorted indignantly.
"If you weren't an employee of Zhan's Group, and if I wasn't afraid of you getting injured at work, who would bother with you? Look at your face... Are you okay now? Let's go to the hospital."
Pei Kexin refused, "Wasn't what you gave me medicine?"
Zhan Jingchen insisted, "Medicine is only a temporary relief. The doctor hasn't seen you, and can't guarantee a full recovery... I'm the boss, and I know you care about your work, but there's no need to overexert yourself. You should prioritize your life."
The medicine hadn't taken effect yet, and her body was indeed very itchy. She glanced in the mirror in the restroom, and her face was swollen to a terrifying degree. Despite valuing her work, Pei Kexin had to yield when necessary and went to the hospital with him.
The doctor checked her for allergens and gave her medicine. The whole process took until past six o'clock.
Zhan Jingchen complained about being hungry and wanted to eat before going back.
Thinking that no one would cook for her when she got home and she'd have to order takeout anyway, she decided to eat with him. They casually chose a restaurant and had dinner.
Around seven o'clock, Zhan Jingchen drove her to the parking lot of Fu Duoduo's building.
After saying goodbye to Zhan Jingchen, she opened the door and got out of the car.
Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, Pei Zongrui appeared before her.
It seemed he had been waiting for her there.
Having lost his job and no longer needing to go to work, Pei Zongrui's face was flushed red, and he reeked of alcohol.
Seeing him suddenly jump out, Pei Kexin was startled.
"Pei Zongrui? What are you doing here?"
"Of course, I'm waiting for you here, my dear aunt."
Pei Zongrui walked towards her with a lewd smile.
"Not bad, you've gotten capable in just a few days. Not only did you return to Pei's, but you also became the president. You must have performed well in Young Master Zhan's bed, haven't you?"
"And Yao Dongzhuo, wasn't he eager to sleep with you long ago? You must have succeeded with him too."
"First the Yao family, then the Zhan family. You act like a pure white lotus in front of me, not letting anyone touch you, yet you're so open with other men. You're really something."
Pei Kexin knew that her return to Pei's couldn't be hidden from him, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
Even if he knew, he still had the audacity to come to Fu Duoduo's place to block her... When would this guy finally disappear from her sight and stop bothering her?
"Where I work and who I'm with, it seems to have nothing to do with you, right? Not to mention, I'm not your biological aunt, and you don't even acknowledge that. Now you're coming here to be sarcastic? Do you think I can still tolerate you?"
Pei Zongrui was angered by her always unpleasant words.
"Can't tolerate me? What can you do if you can't tolerate me? Your grandfather died, and you immediately instigated Zhan's Group to acquire the company. I have every reason to suspect you took benefits in the process!"
"Pei Kexin, don't forget, you had leverage over me before. Now, with both things combined, if I really pursue it, do you think you'll have an easy time?"
She knew he was going to threaten her, so Pei Kexin sneered.
"I'm so scared. Your evidence is so solid, you can sue me anytime. No need to greet me so politely."
After speaking, she didn't want to deal with him anymore and turned to leave. Pei Zongrui grabbed her arm.
"We're not finished, where are you going?"
Pulling her towards him, he finally noticed Pei Kexin's red and swollen face.
"Oh, your pretty little face has been ruined like this. Young Master Zhan and Young Master Yao really know how to play. I wondered why you kept me waiting for so long, turns out you were playing games with them."
Pei Kexin coldly pulled her hand out of his grip and looked at him sternly.
"Pei Zongrui, watch your mouth. Knowing I've gotten close to Young Master Pei and Young Master Zhan, stay away from me if you know what's good for you, or I'll sue you and make sure you have nowhere to be buried."
"Hahahaha, so you admit it now?"
Pei Zongrui was so angered he wanted to laugh.
"You're proud of getting where you are by crawling into men's beds? Go ahead and sue me. Do you really think they'll help you? They're just playing with you like a dog that can work and is fun to tease. You really think you're someone important, how laughable."
Pei Kexin knew it was useless to argue with this kind of person and couldn't be bothered to talk to him further. She took a step back, ignoring him, and prepared to leave again. Pei Zongrui reached out to grab her again.
"Where do you think you're going, you slut? I'm a man too, younger than them, and I can make you comfortable. Stop acting so pure! I've been waiting here for two hours, and you think you can just leave? No way!"
"If you serve me well tonight, I won't hold your crimes against you. Ignore me again, and be careful, I won't let you get through tonight!"
Zhan Jingchen watched their interaction clearly from inside the car. Seeing that Pei Kexin was about to be in trouble, he pushed open the car door and got out.
"Hey, Pei Zongrui, long time no see."
Pei Zongrui turned his head and saw Zhan Jingchen leaning against the car door. He was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter, clutching his stomach.
"I heard you left, so I thought it was true, which is why she was so brazen with other men. Turns out you didn't leave. Not only did you not leave, but you're also watching your wife fool around with other men, hahaha. Jiang, you've truly broadened my horizons. How can there be a man as useless as you in this world?"
This scoundrel, he didn't even do his research before coming to settle scores.
He still doesn't know my identity and thinks I'm a live-in son-in-law?
Zhan Jingchen closed the car door and walked towards him with a cold smile.
"My uselessness is relative. It doesn't matter how she plays with Young Master Zhan, but with you, it's a fool's dream. Trash like you is not worthy."
Damn it, he, a live-in son-in-law, dares to look down on me?
I haven't settled the score from when he hit me last time. Pei Zongrui was so angry that he immediately charged at him.
"You have the right to scold me? You useless bum, don't think you can act so high and mighty just because your wife is sleeping with someone else!"
"Last time I was soft-hearted and didn't hold you accountable, and you still talk such big words. I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Saying that, he went to slap Zhan Jingchen's face.
