He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

For the next two days, Song Zhi looked at houses outside, planning to move out of the school after finding a suitable place.

Suddenly, her phone rang in her bag. She gestured to the real estate agent and walked aside to answer the call.

Hello.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a familiar low laugh came from the other end.

"Song Zhi, do you still remember me?"

Song Zhi tightened her grip on her phone.

How could she not remember?

Xiao Wan had mentioned it to her before.

“I remember, Qin Zheng.”

Qin Zheng chuckled and said in a relaxed tone, "I thought you'd forgotten me, old classmate."

Song Zhi shook her head: "No, how could that be?"

"Let's get together tomorrow, it's been two or three years since we last saw each other."

Song Zhi refused.

"Sorry, I've been quite busy these past few days."

Qin Zheng and Pei Jinnian were childhood friends, and neither of them was a good person. Moreover, what happened back then caused quite a stir. After Qin Zheng was sent abroad by his parents, his mother even had a private talk with Song Zhi.

Qin Zheng's mother and Pei's mother were indeed best friends; both of them considered themselves superior.

She still remembers that Qin's mother and Pei Jinnian's mother sat opposite her, their eyes filled with undisguised contempt and disdain, and they said the same thing.

"You are not worthy to enter the Qin/Pei family."

"That's a pity, let's make it another time."

Qin Zheng's somewhat disappointed words brought Song Zhi back to her senses.

Song Zhi gave a perfunctory reply and hung up the phone.

"Miss, what do you think of this apartment?"

The real estate agent saw her hang up the phone and walked over to ask her something.

Song Zhi glanced around and saw that the apartment was located in the Financial Street area. The price was reasonable, but the renovation was new, which made it very easy for formaldehyde levels to exceed the standard.

Before she could speak, the real estate agent continued, "I have another one on hand, why don't you go take a look?"

Song Zhi nodded: "Actually, the renovation doesn't need to be very new."

The real estate agent nodded.

The two went downstairs and left the residential area.

Song Zhi glanced at the time and suggested, "Why don't we go eat first? It's on me."

The real estate agent didn't stand on ceremony: "Sure, I know a really good private kitchen around here, let's go, I'll take you there."

Song Zhi nodded.

……

At that time, the Pei family.

When Pei Jinnian returned to his office after finishing a meeting, his assistant handed him the menu and cautiously asked him questions.

"Mr. Pei, this is the menu for lunch today. Please see if there's anything you'd like to eat, and I'll arrange it right away."

During this period, the assistant could clearly sense that her boss was in a bad mood, and she became much more careful in her words and actions.

Pei Jinnian glanced at it, but before he could speak, the phone on the table rang.

I frowned instinctively when I saw the caller ID.

"Hey."

Pei Jinnian answered the phone.

The next second, Meng Huan's aggrieved voice came through the microphone.

“Brother Jin Nian, I’m at your company, but the receptionist won’t let me in, saying I don’t have an appointment.”

"Are you in the company?"

"Hmm, did I miss you?"

Listening to Meng Huan's sweet, coquettish voice, Pei Jinnian suddenly felt a little tired.

"Wait a moment, I'll have my assistant come down to get you."

He hung up the phone and looked at his assistant standing to the side: "Don't order lunch yet, go to the front desk and pick someone up for me."

"Okay, Mr. Pei."

The assistant left Pei Jinnian's office and went directly to the front desk.

The assistant had been in this industry for many years, and from Pei Jinnian's phone call just now, the assistant naturally knew that Meng Huan and his boss had a close relationship.

She walked towards Meng Huan, greeting her with a smile: "Ms. Meng, hello, I'm Zhang Ting, Mr. Pei's assistant."

Meng Huan looked Zhang Ting up and down, and after noticing her knee-length skirt, casually asked, "Does Assistant Zhang always dress like this for work?"

Zhang Ting paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Meng Huan said "Oh," and didn't delve into it further: "Where is my brother's office? I'll find it myself. I want to give him a surprise."

Zhang Ting felt so embarrassed listening to her call her "brother" repeatedly that she got goosebumps.

I never expected my boss to like this kind of thing; this guy is nowhere near as good as Song Zhi.

Out of professional courtesy, Zhang Ting smiled and said, "Mr. Pei's office is at the end of the corridor on the right."

Thanks.

After Meng Huan finished speaking, she even stuck out her tongue at Zhang Ting in what she thought was a very mischievous way.

Zhang Ting wore a professional smile: "You're welcome, Miss Meng, you're too kind."

After watching Meng Huan leave, Zhang Ting couldn't help but shudder.

The receptionist asked curiously, "Sister Zhang, who is that? Is it good tea?"

"Young Master Pei's girlfriend, be careful when you see her in the future."

Upon hearing this, the receptionist was somewhat surprised: "Oh, isn't Mr. Pei's girlfriend Miss Song? Why has she changed?"

Zhang Ting said in a deliberately serious tone, "Speak less, do more."

As he spoke, he looked up in the direction Meng Huan had left.

When Meng Huan arrived at Pei Jinnian's office, her vanity instantly surged when she saw the door number above her head.

She knew Pei Jinnian's family was wealthy, but she didn't know the company was so big.

If she and Pei Jinnian got together, she would be the company boss's wife.

"Brother..." Meng Huan pushed open the door, poked her head in, looked at the man sitting at the desk, and asked in a sweet voice, "May I come in?"

Pei Jinnian looked up: "Come in."

Meng Huan chuckled and then pushed open the door and went inside.

Wow, brother, your office is huge!

She looked around.

Pei Jinnian looked up and said, "Why did you come over without telling me beforehand?"

"Do I want to give my brother a surprise?" After saying that, she suddenly remembered something and quickly placed the lunchbox she had brought on Pei Jinnian's table as if presenting a treasure.

"Brother, this is a bento box I made for you with love. It took me several hours to make it!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to Pei Jinnian with a pitiful expression: "Look, you're injured, it hurts so much."

Pei Jinnian looked at the bandage on her slender hands and reached out to hold her palm: "If you don't know how to do it, then don't do it, otherwise I'll feel sorry for you if you get hurt."

Meng Huan giggled, "I'm willing to try anything for my brother. Brother, you should try it and see if it suits your taste."

Pei Jinnian sighed helplessly and affectionately reached out to pinch her cheek.

"My dear baby, you've worked so hard."

As he spoke, he picked up the lunchbox, wondering what Meng Huan had made for him.

But when he saw the food in the lunchbox, he was stunned.

Meng Huan noticed that Pei Jinnian's expression wasn't good, and cautiously asked, "Brother, what's wrong? Don't you like it?"

Pei Jinnian put the lunchbox back on the table and said indifferently, "I don't eat spicy food."

He has a bad stomach, and in recent years Song Zhi has been controlling him to give up spicy food, so he has gotten used to eating very bland food. But what Meng Huan makes for him is all spicy food.

Meng Huan was a little disappointed: "I'm sorry, brother, I didn't know."

As she spoke, tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks.

Pei Jinnian paused for half a second upon seeing this.

I don't think I blamed her, so why was she crying?

He sighed helplessly and reached out to pull her into his arms: "It's alright, baby, don't cry. I didn't mean to blame you."

"Brother, I just wanted to surprise you, I'm sorry."

Meng Huan choked up.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Pei Jinnian pushed Meng Huan aside, sat back in his boss's chair, and then said, "Come in."

Zhang Ting brought in coffee and juice.

"Mr. Pei, your coffee, no sugar."

Zhang Ting placed the coffee on Pei Jinnian's desk and then put the remaining juice on the coffee table in front of the sofa, saying in a humble yet assertive manner, "Miss Meng, I squeezed some fresh juice for you."

Meng Huan looked Zhang Ting up and down: "Assistant Zhang, it's not appropriate for you to wear clothes like this to work. People who don't know better might think you're not here to work."

Zhang Ting looked speechless.

This crazy woman, she hasn't even been officially hired yet and she's already fiddling with the boss's wife's driving. Tsk tsk tsk, sure enough, her boss's taste has declined.

Zhang Ting explained in a businesslike tone, "Ms. Meng, you've misunderstood. I've been married for several years now."

Meng Huan scoffed: "So what if you're getting married? Who knows what you're up to dressed like that?"

Pei Jinnian, who was sitting to the side, did not look well and slammed down his coffee cup.

Bang.

Meng Huan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at Pei Jinnian in a flustered manner.

"Brother, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Pei Jinnian interrupted him.

"Assistant Zhang, you can go out now."

Zhang Ting nodded, turned around and left the general manager's office.

Seeing that Pei Jinnian's expression wasn't good, Meng Huan immediately teared up and apologized, "Brother, I'm sorry, I, I... Waaah."

Pei Jinnian felt utterly exhausted. He let out a heavy sigh: "Don't come to my company anymore."

Meng Huan's breath hitched. "Brother, please, please don't be angry."

As she spoke, her tears fell even harder. Meng Huan choked out, "I... I just love you too much. I'm sorry, please don't be angry. I'll go apologize to Assistant Zhang right now."

Pei Jinnian looked at her, who was sobbing and had red eyes, and reached out to her: "Come here."

Meng Huan obediently walked towards Pei Jinnian and called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Brother, I know I was wrong."

Pei Jinnian reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, coaxing her softly, "Okay, little crybaby, don't cry anymore. How about I take you to eat?"

Meng Huan nodded, her voice choked with emotion.

Pei Jinnian never expected that he would run into Song Zhi just by having dinner with Meng Huan.

And it was with another man.

Last time it was Zhou Yan, so who is it this time?

One wild man after another.

Damn it, he knew it; Song Zhi was no good.
