The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

The Pei family was in complete chaos, and Xiao Chen felt that Brother Xing should strike while the iron was hot and bring the Pei family under his control.

Xing Yanzhao also understood this principle, but the Pei family was not so easy to swallow. Right now, the Pei family was in chaos, so he would swallow one arm at a time if he could.

He bought up shares of Pei's subsidiaries, only to discover that someone had already beaten him to it and was secretly making deals with him.

What the other party wants is money, and they might even take away the technology.

Xing Yanzhao didn't want the shell company that lacked core technology, but in the end, he still made a deal.

Xiao Chen asked in confusion, "Brother Xing, isn't this money just going down the drain?"

"I have plenty of money." Xing Yanzhao didn't care about a hundred or two hundred million at all. Since he was going to compete with the Pei family, he was prepared to throw money at them.

"Xiao Chen, focus your attention on Lin Zhengyu recently, and don't pay attention to Pei Yuanzhou."

"Why are you paying attention to President Lin?" Since President Lin left Xing's Group, he has kept a low profile, and we haven't heard any news about him for a long time.

Everyone thought that President Lin had accepted reality and calmed down.

Brother Xing earnestly told him, "Little Chen, a dog that bites doesn't bark."

It seems that President Lin has been secretly waiting for an opportunity to act.

Xiao Chen went with a smile, finding his role as an assistant as exciting as that of a detective.

……

No matter how fiercely Pei Yuanzhou and Xing Yanzhao fought in the business world, Luo Huai happily went about her pregnancy and work every day. No one knew that the baby was fine, and her colleagues didn't know she was pregnant either. They interacted normally.

She often heard news about Pei's Group and Pei Yuanzhou from her colleagues, and some people would ask her who she thought would win between President Pei and President Xing. She would just smile and focus more on her pregnancy.

Xing Yanzhao was also too busy to come to Chaoye Technology to have lunch with her.

Luo Huai and Liu Ying sat together in the staff canteen and couldn't help but talk about Pei's situation.

"In order to protect his younger sister Pei Youyou, Pei Yuanzhou suspended most of his businesses, laid off staff at his branches, and focused all his efforts on the headquarters in Ningcheng."

In just two months, the Pei family was no longer at its zenith, and no longer deserved the saying, "The Pei family of the South, the Xing family of the North."

Some say that the Xing family ultimately holds absolute power in Ningcheng, while insiders say that it's not just the Xing family that holds absolute power, but rather Xing Yanzhao who controls everything.

Xing Yanzhao naturally became the head of the entire Xing family. The servants in the Xing family's old mansion now respectfully addressed him as "Mr." instead of "Young Master," and Luo Huai as "Madam" instead of "Young Mistress."

Luo Huai wasn't particularly happy about this; most of the time, she felt sorry for Xing Yanzhao's busy schedule, having to juggle work with caring for her and their child.

Xing Yanzhao did not believe that one could have both fish and bear's paw; he always tried to do both.

"Thinking of President Xing?" Liu Ying noticed she seemed lost in thought. "Or...the Pei family?"

Luo Huai said, "Brother Zhao."

Liu Ying smiled and continued what she had just mentioned, and couldn't help but sigh, "If Pei Youyou hadn't been born into the Pei family, and if she didn't have an older brother like Pei Yuanzhou, she would have been locked up ten or eight times over."

Luo Huai couldn't deny it; she felt the same way.

“It’s strange, though. Pei Yuanzhou has already protected her, so why is there still no news about her?” Liu Ying said.

Luo Huai guessed, "They're probably hiding."

After all, Pei's status is not what it used to be. She used to be a little tail following Pei Youyou's daughter, but now she has a higher status than her, and anyone can come up and say a few words of contempt to her.

People who care about their image will definitely hide.

But she also found it a little strange.

"Sister Ying, how are Lin Zhengyu and Pei Youyou doing now?"

"I don't know, Pei Youyou isn't showing her face right now."

Luo Huai felt that this shouldn't be the case. How could Pei Youyou, with her personality, tolerate Lin Zhengyu's infidelity?

Never mind, it's none of her business.

After lunch, everyone returned to their posts to work.

Luo Huai received a delivery call asking her to come downstairs to pick up afternoon tea. She thought it was another compensation for Zhao Ge not coming to have lunch with her and the child at noon.

Pregnant women shouldn't sit all the time, so she decided to go down and get it herself.

The deliveryman didn't bring the food in. After she went out, she saw an exhausted Pei Yuanzhou.

This trick again.

Luo Huai turned and left, while Pei Yuanzhou was surrounded by bodyguards arranged by Xing Yanzhao after getting out of the car.

“Luo Huai, I don’t mean anything by this. I just want to ask you something. What exactly did you and Youyou talk about that day?” Pei Yuanzhou frowned. “Youyou doesn’t want to go home, and the Pei family needs her to apologize.”

Luo Huai stopped in his tracks.

Pei Youyou hasn't returned to the Pei family home yet? Shouldn't she have gone home and made a scene after finding out about Lin Zhengyu's affair, demanding that her family take charge of things for her?

“Luo Huai, you’ve avenged yourself, and we’ve gotten our just desserts. Are you satisfied now? Please tell me what exactly happened that night.” He had to preserve the last vestige of the Pei family’s power.

Luo Huai walked towards Xing Yanzhao, her wide, uncinched skirt fluttering slightly in the autumn breeze.

"I took Pei Youyou to catch them cheating." Luo Huai had no need to hide it, after all, Pei Yuanzhou was right, and the revenge that needed to be taken had been taken.

Pei Yuanzhou's gaze froze: "Catching someone in the act?"

“Lin Zhengyu cheated on his wife with his assistant Xiang Nan. Pei Youyou and I caught them red-handed at a love hotel. Apart from that, we had no other contact.” Luo Huai told him the name of the hotel. “I know you will definitely say I’m lying again, so I asked the hotel manager to keep the surveillance footage from that day. There are some in the lobby and the corridor. Go and find them.”

Pei Yuanzhou's heart was already riddled with holes, and hearing that they would say she was lying again still made her heart ache.

He gave a bleak smile and said, "I'm sorry."

Instead of asking him what he was sorry for, Luo Huai countered, "Do you want me to say it's okay? To make your conscience feel better?"

Pei Yuanzhou's expression stiffened slightly.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Pei Yuanzhou. I won't say those words; that would be unfair to me." Luo Huai gestured towards the afternoon tea in his hand. "Did you buy this?"

He casually tossed it into the trash can.

With a loud thud, you could hear the dessert and coffee inside the takeout bag shatter into pieces.

Pei Yuanzhou's heart was also torn apart, and his reddened eyes spoke of his pain and grievances.

Luo Huai met his gaze without changing his expression; his eyes held no trace of the heartache he once felt, only indifference and ruthlessness.

Pei Yuanzhou suddenly laughed, a desolate laugh.

He had important things to do, and after watching Luo Huai turn around, he drove away.

When they arrived at the place where Lin Zhengyu and Pei Youyou usually lived, they couldn't find a single person. It was empty without any servants, except for the cleaning lady who had come to clean the place just a week ago.

The man said, "The owner of the house hasn't come back for two months."

Two months?

Pei Youyou also hid for two months.

He also found evidence of Lin Zhengyu's infidelity at a love hotel. The mistress was indeed Xiang Nan, no wonder Xiang Nan resigned the next day.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Xiang Nan was no longer in the country.

Pei Yuanzhou dialed Lin Zhengyu's number, but it was switched off.

A bad premonition arises spontaneously.

His phone rang; it was a call from his assistant, making his heart pound.

"Mr. Pei, did you instruct Ms. Pei to transfer money out of the company's account last night? The finance department is asking what will happen to this month's employee salaries, project payments, and severance pay?"
