"...What do you mean?" Lu Yibai asked, raising an eyebrow.

Pei Xingzhi smiled slightly: "You know what I mean, President Lu."

Lu Yibai's eyes turned cold, and the pressure around him suddenly dropped.

Pei Xingzhi: "Neither you nor Qin Sisi will escape."

Lu Yibai's eyes were full of disdain: "Then why don't you try?"

Pei Xingzhi: "Okay."

"Om-"

"Om-"

The phone suddenly vibrated; it was Xie Zhaoyuan calling Pei Xingzhi from inside the car.

Pei Xingzhi answered the phone in front of Lu Yibai.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Xie Zhaoyuan's tone was slightly reproachful: "Didn't you say you'd be back soon? Why are you still talking to him?"

Pei Xingzhi smiled slightly, turned around and returned to the car door: "Baby, don't worry, I'm back now."

"Hurry up," Xie Zhaoyuan said softly, urging him after hanging up the phone.

He opened the car door, got in, and switched seats with Pei Ye.

"I'm all better now, let's go home."

Xie Zhaoyuan reached out and took his hand, their fingers intertwined: "We should have gone home a long time ago. You're not allowed to waste your breath talking to him."

Pei Xingzhi looked down at him and obediently apologized: "Then I was wrong, I will never talk to him again."

Xie Zhaoyuan nodded: "Mm..."

As they were talking, the gray Volkswagen had already bypassed Lu Yibai and headed straight for the parking lot exit.

The gloom gradually dissipated, and the bright sunlight arrogantly poured down from overhead.

"Chairman Xie, may I say a few words?"

"Mr. Xie, where is your sister?"

"Why isn't Xie Zhaoyuan here? Is she not planning to go home?"

Chaos erupted at the hospital entrance, with Xie Mingyi and his group surrounded by dozens of gossip reporters, and they were still unable to leave the hospital.

The parking lot exit was to the right of the hospital entrance. As the gray Volkswagen passed the gate, Pei Xingzhi suddenly said, "Stop for a moment."

The driver immediately slammed on the brakes: "What's wrong, Mr. Pei?"

Pei Xingzhi lowered the car window, turned his head to look at the reporters blocking the hospital entrance, and a few seconds later, he suddenly smiled.

"Zhaozhao, let's make things difficult for Lu Yibai."

Xie Zhao asked him, "How would you like to add it?"

He smiled with a slightly malicious glint in his eyes.

"Ahem..." He cleared his throat, first covering Xie Zhaoyuan's ear with one hand, then shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Lu Yibai of the Lu Group is in the hospital's underground parking lot right now! Everyone, hurry and intercept him!!"

"..."

The group of reporters was silent for a moment, then suddenly erupted in excitement.

"Lu Yibai! Lu Yibai from the Lu Group is here too! Everyone, hurry and intercept him!"

"Quickly, quick, go and intercept him!"

"The parking lot exit is over there! Let's run straight in from there!"

Lu Yibai of the Lu Group was clearly more interview-worthy than the Xie family. As soon as they heard his name, two-thirds of the reporters blocking the hospital entrance ran away instantly!

Xie Mingyi seized the opportunity and quickly led Xie Jiangshan and the others into the car, escaping the reporters' encirclement amidst the chaos.

"Hurry up!" Pei Xingzhi closed the car window and ordered in a deep voice.

"Alright!" The driver stepped on the gas and drove the car directly onto the main road, then sped along the main road.

"Here we go again? What exactly is this family up to?"

Lu Yibai held up his phone, making a call while searching for his car.

He held the car keys in his other hand and gently pressed the unlock button.

The next second, a "beep" sound of unlocking rang out from his left front.

He walked toward the direction from which the sound came, his handsome brows furrowed tightly.

“I have nothing to talk to them about. I’ll have someone kick them out.”

"What about Qin Sisi? Of course we should all go together. Are we going to keep her here for lunch alone?"

"Let's just cancel the wedding banquet. I'm not planning on getting engaged to her anymore..."

"Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu, please say a few words!"

Before he could finish the call, a bunch of reporters suddenly ran out from behind him.

He was stunned for a moment; his mind wasn't fully clear yet, but his body reacted first.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Qin Sisi—"

He abruptly cut off the call and, clutching his phone, took off running.

"Mr. Lu!"

"Mr. Lu, please wait a moment! Please say a few words to us!"

More than a dozen reporters relentlessly pursued Lu Yibai. Lu Yibai rushed to the car and was about to open the door and hide inside when a dark camera was suddenly shoved right in front of his head.

"Mr. Lu, are you really the 'phoenix man' that people talk about?"

"Get out of my way!" Lu Yibai waved his hand and pushed the camera away, glaring angrily at the reporter blocking his way.

The reporter wasn't intimidated at all, and even held the microphone directly to his mouth.

"Mr. Lu, please answer my question."

Lu Yibai remained silent.

But then, more and more microphones were shoved in front of him.

Countless questions were swirling in his ears.

"Mr. Lu, why are you here at this hospital? Did you hear that Qin Song is going home today, so you came to see her off?"

"Mr. Lu, will you still marry Qin Sisi?"

"Is Qin Sisi really your mistress? Did you and she conspire to betray Qin Song?"

"Mr. Lu, don't you have anything to say to Qin Song?"

"Qin Song's true identity is the young heiress of Xie's Technology, Mr. Lu. Do you regret it now?"

Lu Yibai's head was about to explode from their noise. He raised a hand to cover his face, shouting in a state of collapse and resentment:

"roll!"

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

……

The crackling sound of firecrackers blasted from the front door into the living room, and then back from the living room to the front door, repeating this cycle at least ten times.

The area in front of the villa was shrouded in smoke, and crimson shrapnel covered the ground.

Xie Zhaoyuan, as the protagonist of the day, was surrounded by everyone from the moment she entered.

Welcome home, Zhaozhao!

These words echoed in Xie Zhaoyuan's ears for a long time. She didn't know how many times she had heard them, but she never got tired of them. On the contrary, she was very happy.

She responded earnestly to every welcome, taking all the blessings into her heart.

After the grand welcoming ceremony, Xie Jiangshan ordered a banquet to be held with more than a dozen tables.

The banquet was filled with relatives of the Xie and Bai families, ranging from eighty-year-old elders to toddlers who had just learned to walk. They all gathered here to have a reunion dinner with Xie Zhaoyuan.

The meal was very lively; everyone was laughing and happy for Xie Zhaoyuan.

"Mother-in-law." Bai Ruiying pulled Pei's mother's hand and dragged her to sit down on the sofa, her eyes wide with joy.

“We have prepared rooms for you and Xiaoxuan in advance. Don’t go back during this time. Stay at home with us and we will take care of Zhaozhao together.”

“No, I have to go back.” Pei’s mother looked troubled. “It’s too far from my workplace, and it’s inconvenient for me to come and go.”
