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

Song Zhi never expected that a simple dinner with Qin Zheng would lead to Pei Jinnian suddenly barging into the private room.

Pei Jinnian's face was gloomy as he stared intently at Song Zhi. Then he sneered and said sarcastically, "Song Zhi, you really aren't picky about food. You can eat anything."

Faced with Pei Jinnian's mockery, Song Zhi showed no emotion on her face, simply sitting quietly in her seat without saying a word.

Xiao Wan, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily, "What Zhizhi eats is none of your business. President Pei must have forgotten that you two have already broken up."

Pei Jinnian's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke, "This is between Song Zhi and me. What right do you have to interfere?"

Ignoring Pei Jinnian's gloomy expression, Xiao Wan directly retorted without holding back.

"I'm Zhizhi's best friend. If I'm not qualified, does that mean you, as an ex, aren't?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi reached out and gently tugged at her, whispering a reminder: "Alright, he's a madman, don't mess with him."

Xiao Wan frowned, displeased, and said, "Are you afraid of him?"

Song Zhi said helplessly, "No, I just want to eat in peace."

As she spoke, she looked up at Pei Jinnian and said indifferently, "Young Master Pei, is there something you need?"

Faced with Song Zhi's aloofness and indifference, Pei Jinnian's anger surged.

Before he could speak, Qin Zheng, who had been silent all along, spoke up.

He said, "Jin Nian, we're all brothers, let's not make things too ugly."

The word "friend" seemed to provoke Pei Jinnian. He silently pursed his lips and smiled, but the smile contained a hint of mockery and resentment.

"Brother? Qin Zheng, I treated you like a brother, and you tried to steal my girlfriend?"

Qin Zheng's expression froze.

Before she could even speak, Pei Jinnian's mocking words came through: "I've already used Song Zhi to death, aren't you disgusted? You really like what other people have leftovers?"

As Pei Jinnian spoke, the atmosphere in the private room immediately plummeted to its lowest point.

Song Zhi's grip on the chopsticks loosened and then relaxed. Having followed Pei Jinnian for so many years, she admitted that she had her own selfish motives.

But in the past three years, she has never done anything to wrong Pei Jinnian, and she has always put his affairs first.

But now, the man in front of her is using such vulgar and offensive language to humiliate and slander her.

Song Zhi originally felt somewhat guilty about using Pei Jinnian as a substitute, but now, even the last trace of guilt in her heart is gone.

She tried her best to calm herself down.

Xiao Wan, with her fiery temper, was the first to lose her temper and yelled at Pei Jinnian, "Pei Jinnian, are you even a man...?"

As he spoke, he got up and was about to beat someone up.

Fortunately, Song Zhi reacted quickly and grabbed her.

"Alright, Wanwan, don't be impulsive."

Just as Song Zhi had calmed Xiao Wan down, she heard a loud bang.

She looked up and saw that Qin Zheng, who had been sitting in the chair, had stood up at some point, kicked the chair next to him, and threw a punch at Pei Jinnian.

"Pei Jinnian, it's a fucking disgrace to be your childhood friend, how could you slander a girl like that."

As he spoke, he suddenly punched Pei Jinnian again.

While hitting him, he cursed, "Song Zhi doesn't even want to talk to you anymore, but you still come running over here like a puppy. Aren't you shameless?"

"So what if I steal your girlfriend? It's your own fault for not appreciating what you have."

Hearing Qin Zheng admit it to himself, Pei Jinnian could no longer contain his anger. He kicked Qin Zheng in the stomach and said, "Who the hell do you think you are? You think you can steal my girlfriend?"

After saying that, with bloodshot eyes, he straddled Qin Zheng and punched him in the face.

Soon, the two tall men, each over 1.8 meters tall, started wrestling.

Song Zhi tried to pull him away, but Xiao Wan stopped her.

"Let them hit him, Pei Jinnian deserves it."

If Song Zhi hadn't been there, she would have wanted to rush over and kick that scumbag Pei Jinnian.

What does it mean to have something overused or played out?

Is this something a human being would say?

How could Song Zhi possibly involve Qin Zheng? She stepped forward and pulled Pei Jinnian away, saying, "Pei Jinnian, that's enough."

Song Zhi roared.

Pei Jinnian seemed not to hear him and threw several punches at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng, who had been fighting back, suddenly stopped moving and let Pei Jinian hit him. Soon, he was injured on the face and even bled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Song Zhi disregarded everything and raised her hand, slapping Pei Jinnian across the face.

While Pei Jinnian was still in a daze, Song Zhi pushed him away.

Pei Jinnian's back slammed against the corner of the table, causing him to wince in pain.

"Song Zhi..."

He said in a low voice with a gloomy face, looking at Song Zhi with disbelief: "You hit me for him."

Song Zhi took a heavy breath and looked at the man in front of her with a cold face.

He said indifferently, "You provoked me first."

With that, he ignored Pei Jinnian and helped Qin Zheng, who had fallen to the ground, up.

"Are you OK."

Qin Zheng shook his head slightly. He opened his mouth, but the pain pulled at the wound on the corner of his mouth, causing him to instinctively gasp for air.

Seeing this, Song Zhi asked worriedly, "Are you alright? Should we take you to the hospital first?"

Pei Jinnian, who had been ignored, immediately flew into a rage upon seeing this and yelled at Song Zhi without any regard for the consequences.

"Song Zhi, are you blind? He's faking it."

Song Zhi seemed not to hear, and helped Qin Zheng walk out.

Upon seeing this, Pei Jinnian panicked. Ignoring his lower back injury, he staggered over and stood in front of Song Zhi.

"I'm injured too."

Pei Jinnian looked somewhat aggrieved when he said this.

In the past, Song Zhi was most afraid of him getting hurt. Even the slightest injury would make her cry with heartache.

Thinking of this, Pei Jinnian's gaze was fixed on Song Zhi's face.

She wanted to see Song Zhi feel sorry for her like before.

No, it's not.

Song Zhi merely glanced at him indifferently before looking away, turning to Xiao Wan to take her bag, and then drove Qin Zheng to the hospital.

Upon seeing this, a hint of panic flashed in Pei Jinnian's eyes. He reached out and gripped Song Zhi's wrist tightly, repeating his words clearly: "I'm injured, my face is bleeding."

Song Zhi pulled her hand away. "Pei Jinnian, stop being so childish, okay?"

As she spoke, she walked past Pei Jinnian toward the door of the private room, but just as she reached the door, Pei Jinnian, unwilling to give up, walked over and blocked the doorway.

"Song Zhi, why don't you care about me anymore?"

As he said this, he stared intently at Song Zhi, his eyes filled with a sense of grievance.

Song Zhi sighed helplessly. The man in front of her was as unpredictable as ever, trusting others and only caring about his own pleasure, regardless of the well-being of others.

Song Zhi patiently retorted, "Why should I care about you? You're the one who ended our relationship, aren't you?"

As Song Zhi spoke, Pei Jinnian's expression gradually cracked.

His expression, which had initially been somewhat aggrieved, instantly turned sinister.

He chuckled softly, then scoffed, "Song Zhi, for the past three years, haven't you just been using me as a substitute? Isn't ending our relationship exactly what you wanted?"

As she spoke, she looked at Qin Zheng and said sarcastically, "You think she would be interested in you? Qin Zheng, you are as foolish as ever."
