The burly man was knocked to the ground. Pei Zhili did not stop, but suppressed him and punched him in the face furiously, "Scream, keep screaming!"

Jiang Tingxia was stunned and hurried forward to pull him, but failed.

Seeing that he seemed to be out of control, she could only hug him and said, "Xiao Li, stop it!"

Pei Zhili was suddenly stunned.

Just because at that moment, he smelled from her the same scent as his mother, which was buried deep in his memory...

It smells a bit like lavender, light, very nice, very...

warmth.

He let Jiang Tingxia hold him, and he leaned on her shoulder, breathing heavily. Like a comforted wolfhound, he unconsciously closed his eyes.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the noisy clamor in my ears disappeared, leaving only her gentle voice, "Calm down, okay?"

"..."

Pei Zhili calmed down, but the man who was beaten could not calm down. He covered his bleeding nose and shouted at the people behind him who were also stunned: "What are you doing standing there? Come on!"

At this time, more and more people gathered around, and those few people hesitated whether to go forward. Jiang Tingxia said sternly: "This is a public place, let's see who dares to mess around!"

It was clearly a pleasant and not fierce voice, but it seemed to have some kind of intimidating power that made people dare not act rashly.

The big man scrambled to his feet in a panic. "Is this kid just going to let me go after injuring me? Pay me for my medical expenses and mental damages, or I'll sue him!"

Pei Zhili raised his head from the crook of Jiang Tingxia's neck, glared at her fiercely, clenched his fists and wanted to hit her, but Jiang Tingxia held him tightly.

He didn't break free from her, but gritted his teeth and said, "Fifty thousand? Fine, I can pay it back for her this time. But don't even think about five hundred thousand!"

Jiang Tingxia felt a little relieved. Although he was the son of a landlord, he was not stupid enough to really give them 500,000 yuan, otherwise those people would only become more demanding.

She touched Pei Zhili's head, signaling him not to be impulsive, and then let him go.

Pei Zhili was stunned again.

This woman...did she touch his head just now?

He remembered that when he was a child, every time he performed well or won a red flower in kindergarten, his mother would be happy for him, pat his head and praise him for being the best.

When the familiar breath left, Pei Zhili felt empty in his heart and was a little reluctant to leave her arms.

Jiang Tingxia then said to the big man, "Where's the IOU? You have no proof. You said 50,000, so it's 50,000? Take out the IOU, and then draw up an agreement. After you pay the money this time, from now on you can't harass him and that girl again. Otherwise, we will sue you!"

This woman was quite clear-headed and gave the money without asking.

The leader's eyes flashed. They originally wanted to make a big profit, but now they are definitely not satisfied with only 50,000. What's more, he was beaten by Pei Zhili. How can he relieve his hatred if he doesn't ask for more money?

He whispered to the others, "What bad luck! We ran into two nosy people. Let's go first and think of a way when we get back. We must get the money from the young master of the Pei family!"

The others thought the same and decided on it. The big man in the lead said, "Okay, let's go back and draft an agreement!"

After saying that, he glared at Su Cheng again, "You little bitch, just wait for us!"

After they left, Su Cheng was still in shock.

But now, there is another person who is difficult to deal with.

She glanced at Pei Zhili and pursed her lips. "Actually, you don't have to pay the money back for me. That's my family's business, and I don't want to involve you."

"Oh, do you have a solution?" Pei Zhili turned around and asked, "Do you really want to use yourself to pay off the debt?"

“…” Su Cheng lowered his head in shame, speechless.

Her father is addicted to gambling. When he learned that she had met Pei Zhili, a rich young master, and that Pei Zhili was very interested in her, he became even more unscrupulous. The debt he owed was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled. She really did not have the ability to solve it.

She had known Pei Zhili for several years and he had helped her a lot, so she was grateful to him. However, she was also afraid of him...

Pei Zhili asked coldly, "Tell me, why are you with him?"

He knew this boy with glasses, Lu Yuanze, the top student in his grade, very popular with girls. Su Cheng was usually very close to him, and it was obvious that she liked him.

Lu Yuanze quickly explained: "I heard that Su Cheng was injured, so I went to see her, and happened to run into those people chasing debts..."

Before he could finish, Pei Zhili interrupted him coldly, "Did I ask you? Who do you think you are? How dare you have such a mindset towards her? Did anyone tell you the consequences of messing with me?!"

Lu Yuanze's face changed, and he was visibly panicked. "I..."

Su Cheng stood in front of him and said, "Pei Zhili, don't threaten me. It was...I told him that I was injured, and I asked him to come!"

"It seems that you really like him, so I can't let him go."

Pei Zhili raised the corner of his mouth, but the curve was very creepy.

He strode up to Lu Yuanze and grabbed his collar, "I didn't get enough of the beating just now."

"Pei Zhili!" Su Cheng hurriedly stopped him, "Let him go, don't hit him!"

Seeing that she was still helping Lu Yuanze, Pei Zhili became even more angry. He pushed Lu Yuanze away fiercely and grabbed her wrist. "Okay, I can not beat him, but you have to come with me!"

Su Cheng's eyes widened as he struggled hard, "I won't! Where are we going with you? To your family's hotel? Do you want to lock me up again?"

"Come with me! Or do you want to go with him?!"

The triangle drama was staged again, and Jiang Tingxia had the expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway.

You kid, are you acting out the domineering CEO's forced love here?

I have to say, his furious look is really similar to Pei Yanzhou's, both of which are frightening. They are indeed father and son.

She got angry whenever she thought of Pei Yanzhou. Pei Zhili's behavior was also wrong. If he wasn't careful, the girl might really hold a grudge against him, leading to serious consequences.

Jiang Tingxia stepped forward decisively and said sternly, "Xiao Li, you can't do this!"

Pei Zhili was angry. "This is my business. Why do you care about me?"

"Just because I am you——"

Jiang Tingxia almost said the word "Mom" and quickly held it back. "Anyway, let her go. Can't you see she's almost crying? If you treat the girl you like like this, she'll only hate you, understand? You idiot!"

Pei Zhili, "?"

After being suddenly scolded, he turned around and looked at Su Cheng.

Sure enough, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, about to fall.

He became annoyed and let go of her hand.

Jiang Tingxia asked Su Cheng and Lu Yuanze to leave first, actually she wanted to get rid of them and leave her and Pei Zhili alone.

After the two men got into the car tremblingly, Pei Zhili realized it belatedly.

No, what was wrong with him? Why did he just let this woman let Su Cheng go with Lu Yuanze?

Pei Zhili gritted his teeth and looked back at Jiang Tingxia's face, which looked just like his mother's...

Thinking of an outrageous possibility, his heart suddenly started beating wildly.

After taking a deep breath, he said awkwardly, "Didn't you say we were going to get a DNA test?"
