Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

Lin Wan'er's gaze was as cold as ice as she swept it over the card, a disdainful smile playing on her lips.

"Take it."

Xiao Qi chuckled, "Boss, my loyalty to you is as clear as day."

Lin Wan'er looked at him and said, "Just take it. Why shouldn't you take money you earned through your own abilities?"

Xiao Qi hesitated; in his view, one should take money to solve problems for others.

If he accepts the 200,000 yuan from Zhao Pengfei, it means he will have to help Zhao Pengfei and report the situation here to him at all times.

Lin Wan'er scrutinized him. "Shamelessness knows no bounds. It's his business if he's willing to give it, isn't it?"

After hearing this, Xiaoqi willingly accepted the card.

Indeed, when it comes to cunning, no one can compare to his boss. As for Zhao Pengfei, he disdains to pay him any attention.

Zhao Pengfei suffered a loss at Lin Wan'er's hands, and when he returned home, he threw a huge tantrum, which even affected the nanny who had served him for many years.

"How many times have I told you to make me strong tea? Are you deaf or can't you understand?"

The nanny stood trembling to the side, with shards of glass lying at her feet from Zhao Pengfei's out-of-control fall.

Zhao Pengfei was furious when he saw her.

I originally thought that Zhao's mother's role in this family was simply to take good care of herself; to put it bluntly, she was just a nanny.

But after Zhao's mother left him, he realized that there was no one around him who made him feel at ease.

Nowadays, they can't even do something as simple as making tea properly.

Just as she was thinking this, Zhao Yazhi walked over and gestured for the nanny to leave with a look.

"Pengfei, it's just a pot of tea. Just brew another one. Why are you so angry?"

Zhao Pengfei didn't want to lash out at her, so he sat silently on the sofa, seething with anger.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yazhi quickly placed the bird's nest that the nanny had prepared for her in front of him.

"Drink this, it's very nourishing, isn't it much better than tea that causes internal heat?"

Zhao Pengfei glanced at it, and a nameless fire welled up inside him.

He is allergic to bird's nest.

Out of filial piety, he had no choice but to drink a bowl of bird's nest that Zhao Yazhi had carefully prepared for him.

Unexpectedly, after drinking it, he experienced unbearable itching all over his body. In the end, it was Zhao's mother who found medicine for him and stayed by his side day and night for three nights before the itching subsided.

"What? You're so angry you're ignoring your own mother?"

Zhao Yazhi watched as he exerted pressure.

Zhao Pengfei said helplessly, "Mom, you drink this. I really don't want to drink this right now."

Zhao Yazhi snorted coldly, "I've always told you to drink this regularly, not for any other reason than that it's good for your health."

"But that bitch seemed to be deliberately going against me, repeatedly stopping me from giving you bird's nest!"

"Now that the person who annoyed me is finally gone, why are you throwing a tantrum!"

Zhao Pengfei was stunned for a few seconds after hearing Zhao Yazhi's complaints.

"You mean...she wouldn't let you give me bird's nest before?"

This made Zhao Yazhi angry.

Bird's nest is a good thing. Every time she wanted to make bird's nest for her son, Zhao's mother would stop her in various ways. She even suspected that the bird's nest she had made before had all gone into Zhao's mother's stomach.

Zhao Pengfei clenched his fists, a hint of regret and determination flashing in his eyes.

He recalled how Zhao's mother brewed medicine for him late at night and gently wiped his skin, which was red and swollen due to an allergic reaction.

Thinking of this, Zhao Pengfei felt a mix of emotions.

"What are you thinking? You're not going to give in to that bitch, are you?"

Zhao Yazhi sensed something was wrong and questioned her.

"No, she's just a woman."

Zhao Pengfei said firmly.

He knew that for the sake of the family business, everything could be sacrificed, including Zhao's mother.

Moreover, cooperation with Lin Wan'er was imperative, and he would not allow anyone to affect the future development of the Zhao Group at this time.

Despite this, deep down, a wave of guilt towards Zhao's mother surged up, almost suffocating him.

"I asked about the paternity test, and the results should be available tomorrow."

Zhao Yazhi looked at him intently, "Are you sure... Zhao Jing isn't your biological daughter?"

Zhao Pengfei sighed deeply, "She is indeed not my biological daughter."

Zhao Yazhi was taken aback, and then began to complain again.

"Did you already know that brat wasn't your biological daughter?"

"Then why didn't you say so earlier, making our Zhao family raise her for so many years for nothing?"

"And that shameless woman, she's so brazen as to cheat on you, and you've actually put up with it until now?"

The incessant chatter annoyed Zhao Pengfei, causing him to let those long-forgotten memories surge in his mind.

"Mom, stop talking. I need to take care of things at the company right away."

Zhao Yazhi glared at him resentfully, then turned and went upstairs.

After calming his guilty conscience, Zhao Pengfei called Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing was with Xu Tian at the time, and she was quite surprised when she saw the caller ID.

"What should I do? Should I answer it or not?"

Xu Tian dismissed it, saying, "Just accept it. How much worse can things get?"

She thought about it and agreed, then answered the phone.

"Where...where are you now..."

Zhao Pengfei's voice was very low.

"Just tell me what you have to say."

Zhao Jing's attitude was very cold, as if she were treating a stranger, which made Zhao Pengfei feel very uncomfortable.

No matter what, he has raised her for so many years.

"Stop the live stream. Your actions are already affecting the interests of the Zhao Group."

Zhao Jing chuckled, "I'm no longer a member of the Zhao Group, so what I say or do has nothing to do with you?"

"you……"

Zhao Pengfei was speechless after hearing her words.

"To the outside world, you are still the daughter of the Zhao Group, so don't do anything that harms the company's interests."

Zhao Jing snorted coldly, "When you need me, I'm the heiress of the Zhao Group; when you don't need me, I'm just an illegitimate child born out of wedlock. Is that what you mean?"

Zhao Pengfei suppressed his anger and said, "Do you have to talk to me like that?"

"Isn't this all because of your family? Don't call me anymore. What I say or do now has nothing to do with the Zhao family!"

Before Zhao Pengfei could say anything more, Zhao Jing had already hung up the phone.

Xu Tian chuckled to himself, while Zhao Jing suddenly realized what was happening.

"Did you anticipate this?"

Xu Tian remained noncommittal, "Isn't this a good thing? Now that he needs your help, he has an advantage in your fight for the property."

"That being said, if I really wasn't his biological daughter, he could still ruin my reputation and my mother's reputation."

Zhao Pengfei holds a very important position in Jiangcheng. If he reveals the truth, she and Zhao's mother will definitely become the target of public criticism, and then everything will be beyond repair.

This will not affect Lin Wan'er's cooperation with him.

Xu Tian smiled faintly and remained silent.

He was betting that the truth of what happened back then wasn't just known to Zhao Pengfei, but that Zhao's mother was actually a victim in the whole affair!

He bet that Zhao Pengfei wouldn't dare do that, regardless of whether tomorrow's assessment results were good or bad.
