It was already past nine in the evening, the night sky was enchanting, and the entire South City was entering its most captivating moment.
If he called at this hour, what good could it be?
Especially after that incident in Harbin, Pei Kexin could guess what he wanted with her eyes closed.
Without hesitation, she hung up the phone.
But who was Pei Zongrui?
He was utterly shameless, and he wouldn't easily give up something he hadn't obtained. With persistent tenacity, he immediately called again.
Pei Kexin hung up again, and he called again. She hung up again, and he called again.
After a few such exchanges, Pei Kexin could no longer stand it and answered, "What do you want?"
Pei Zongrui got straight to the point, "I'll give you an address, come find me now."
Pei Kexin: "Didn't you say I have no relation to the Pei family anymore? Why should I come find you?"
Pei Zongrui was arrogant.
"Because you haven't completely left the Pei Corporation yet, and I have evidence that is unfavorable to you."
"Evidence unfavorable to me? What shady business have I done, pray tell?"
Pei Zongrui sneered, "Whether you did something or not is not important, nor is what others think. What's important is whether there is evidence to prove you did it."
"As long as I hand this over, the relevant departments will surely investigate. Pei Kexin, aren't you afraid?"
Pei Kexin disdained, "An upright person fears no slander. For baseless accusations, I only fear they won't investigate."
Pei Zongrui smiled again.
"You're not a naive person. You're just saying this to spite me. I know you'll come. You cherish your reputation and won't gamble with your future and destiny. Therefore, I'll wait for you."
With that, he confidently hung up the phone. Immediately after, he sent a WeChat message.
Pei Kexin gritted her teeth, looked at the address he sent, thought for two seconds, and called Fu Duoduo.
Fu Duoduo was furious and decided to accompany her to confront the shameless Pei Zongrui.
The two got into the same car. They planned that Fu Duoduo would act as backup outside. If Pei Zongrui had any indecent intentions, Pei Kexin would message her, and she would immediately call the police.
The address Pei Zongrui sent was the same club. Upon arrival, she pushed open the door. The large private room was empty except for him.
Fu Duoduo waited in the lobby's lounge area. She wasn't in the mood to play with her phone. Holding it tightly, she sat up straight, constantly watching the elevator, ready to call the police and tear down that madman.
As she sat there idly for about half an hour, the club welcomed a group of distinguished guests.
Accompanied by loud greetings, she turned to look.
At the entrance of the magnificent club, several extraordinary individuals stepped in simultaneously.
The man leading the group wore a black suit. He was young and handsome, with an arrogant and indifferent expression. Behind him followed a man and a woman.
The man was also tall and upright, wearing a dark suit, with a tall beauty on his arm.
The couple was a perfect match, and the three walking together looked exceptionally elegant and pleasing to the eye.
Fu Duoduo thought her eyes were playing tricks on her.
She recognized the man leading the group: the famous successor of the Yao Corporation, the new business magnate Yao Dongzhuo.
The proud woman beside him was his sister, and the handsome man her sister was holding was Pei Kexin's husband, Jiang Jingchen!
Just a few days ago, he was with Pei Kexin in Harbin, acting like a good man. Now, he had somehow climbed onto the Yao family's grand tree. This...
Fu Duoduo kept staring at Jiang Jingchen. After a while, it was inevitable that someone would notice.
Zhan Jingchen felt a gaze fixed on him. He subconsciously looked up and saw Fu Duoduo sitting in the lounge area.
Fortunately, he was now the third young master of the Zhan family, not a delivery man, and he had important business. There was no need to pay attention to her.
He cast a faint glance, pretending not to know her, and the three quickly walked past her.
A group of service staff bowed and greeted them, "Hello, Mr. Yao, Miss Yao, Young Master Zhan."
Fu Duoduo watched the three pleasing figures and listened to everyone's greetings, utterly bewildered again.
Young Master Zhan? This person's surname is Zhan? He's not Jiang Jingchen?
There weren't many people named Zhan in South City. Could he be Zhan Beijue's son?
It was too much of a coincidence, how could he look so much like Jiang Jingchen?
Seeing the three enter the elevator, she quickly found a waiter to inquire.
"Those three who just came in look very impressive. Who are they?"
The waiter said, "You don't recognize them? The one in black is the eldest son of the Yao family, the great copper king of South City, Yao Dongzhuo. Beside him is his sister, Yao Junzhu. The handsome man in Miss Yao's arm is the third young master of the Zhan family, Zhan Jingchen. I heard he and Miss Yao are engaged, they've had a marriage contract since childhood, and they're out for a family dinner. Mr. Yao is a regular here, so everyone knows him well."
Fu Duoduo's eyes widened like saucers, "You said, the third young master of the Zhan family, his name is Zhan Jingchen?"
"Yes, he doesn't come often, but I heard our boss is his uncle, so his consumption here is free. What's with your expression? He's indeed handsome and rich, but he already has a fiancée. You can only look."
Fu Duoduo: "...Do you know which private room they went to?"
The waiter said, "Mr. Yao always uses 'Myriad Waters Thousand Mountains' at our club. What if you know? No one dares to enter without his permission. He has a bad temper. Hey, although you're quite good-looking, countless women want to throw themselves at him. This path won't work, don't go looking for death."
Fu Duoduo, as a native of South City whose family was also in business, how could she not know Yao Dongzhuo's reputation?
She knew very well that he was not only unattainable but also extremely dangerous. She wouldn't provoke him.
It was just this Jiang Jingchen...
He looked too similar, it was too coincidental, she was too curious!
Her phone remained silent. She didn't know how Kexin was doing with that scumbag.
Fu Duoduo anxiously retreated to wait, and while waiting, she sent a message to Gu Wei.
"How exactly did Kexin and Jiang Jingchen meet? Gu Wei, are you sure his name is really Jiang Jingchen? Have you seen his ID?"
Gu Wei was bewildered, "Didn't I tell you? He's just a delivery man. We met him outside the Nishang Club. He was wearing a delivery uniform and delivering food at the time. Your sister Pei took a liking to him at first sight and insisted I get his contact information. What's wrong?"
Fu Duoduo didn't know how to explain it to him.
"I have a feeling something is not right, something is strange. This guy doesn't seem as simple as a delivery man."
"On what grounds?"
"I think I saw him at the club just now. He was very handsome, dressed very elegantly, and was holding a young lady."
"..."
Hearing her say that, Gu Wei also remembered.
When they went out to eat before, he used the excuse of finding the restroom, and he was also very intimate with a young lady...
Pei Zongrui sat comfortably on the sofa, sipping wine. Seeing Pei Kexin enter, obedient as he imagined, he was incredibly happy.
He beckoned her to sit, smiling brightly.
