After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

“…Of course!” Shen Yan glanced guiltily at Pei Xingzhi. Pei Xingzhi caught her look and instantly knew what she was holding.

"Don't stand outside, let's go inside and talk," Pei Xingzhi said, then turned and went back to the living room.

"You slapped me so many times, doesn't your hand hurt?" Xie Mingyi helped Song Yihuan up the steps, touching her swollen palm with concern.

"Of course it hurts!" Song Yihuan pouted unhappily, but after a few seconds, she laughed again, "But it really feels good! If Qin Sisi had dared to stay even a second longer, I would definitely have slapped her!"

"Eek~~ Of course it hurts~~" Pei Lingxuan walked past her, unexpectedly throwing out a sarcastic imitation.

"You..." Song Yihuan's face immediately turned red. "What are you being sarcastic about?"

Pei Lingxuan turned to look at her, pouting mischievously, "I wasn't being sarcastic, I was just genuinely envious, envious that Sister Yihuan has someone to rub her hands~~"

"Hmph!" Song Yihuan raised her eyebrows proudly. "What's there to envy? If you want one, you can just pick one from your side."

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Jiahe beside her with a half-smile.

Pei Lingxuan noticed her gaze and immediately became anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing her reaction, Song Yihuan knew she had guessed correctly. She shook off Xie Mingyi's hand, took a few quick steps, grabbed Pei Lingxuan's arm, and dragged her over to Shen Yanhui's side to whisper to her.

"Xiaoxuan, tell me honestly, is there something going on between you and Lin Jiahe?"

"...What kind of show is it?" Pei Lingxuan clearly understood, but she pretended to be stupid.

"What are you pretending for?" Shen Yan Hui exposed her without any mercy. "There's clearly something wrong between you and Lin Jia He. We can all see that."

"Oh dear..." Pei Lingxuan was embarrassed by what she said and hurriedly covered her mouth. "Don't talk nonsense. There's nothing wrong between Lin Jiahe and me."

"Besides, Lin Jiahe is my sister-in-law's ex-boyfriend. I would be crazy to have a relationship with him."

Song Yihuan was open-minded and didn't think it was a big deal at all: "So what if he's an ex-boyfriend? Ayuan and him are in the past. They let go of it a long time ago. Why are you still bothered by it?"

"Besides, the fact that Pei Xingzhi can become friends with him proves that the person involved has long since moved on from this matter, so you don't need to hold a grudge," Shen Yanhui added sharply.

Pei Lingxuan scratched her head, somewhat annoyed, and said, "I'm not holding a grudge... I just feel that he was, after all, my sister-in-law's boyfriend. It would be so strange if I had anything going on with him!"

"Isn't this just like the saying online, 'My first love ended up becoming my brother-in-law'?"

"Ouch!" Song Yihuan patted her arm. "Why do you care what people say online? This is your business, not the netizens' business... Besides, my brother-in-law doesn't mind his background and is willing to be friends with him, so you can ignore these things too."

“That’s right!” Shen Yanhui nodded repeatedly.

Song Yihuan suddenly grabbed her hand: "And Lao Shen! Didn't Lao Shen also like your brother before, and even got into several fights with A Yuan? But look now, A Yuan has put aside her past grievances and become friends with Lao Shen, hasn't she?"

Shen Yanhui felt rather embarrassed when this topic came up suddenly.

“Oh dear…” Shen Yanhui pushed Song Yihuan’s hand away, her cheeks flushed red. “I was young and ignorant back then, and I did a lot of wrong things without thinking. Now that I’ve come to my senses, I realize that my feelings for Pei Xingzhi were not love at all, but just a kind of obsession from unrequited love when I was young.”

“Ah Yuan had already made things clear to me, so we naturally became friends.”

"Hmm!" Song Yihuan raised an eyebrow at Pei Lingxuan. "See? Two living examples right in front of you. What are you still hesitating for? If you like her, just go for it!"

"I..." Pei Lingxuan lowered her head in confusion, then suddenly came to her senses. "Wait, when did I say I liked him?"

"..." Song Yihuan blinked. "You tacitly agreed."

Shen Yan agreed: "Yeah."

"...Go to hell!" Pei Lingxuan rolled her eyes at them, left them in the corner, and turned to leave.

“Hey,” Song Yihuan laughed as she watched her retreating figure, “Look at her, we haven’t even said anything yet, and she’s already getting anxious.”

Shen Yan replied: "If they're in a hurry, it means there's a problem. Old Song, it seems the Pei and Xie families are about to have another happy occasion."

Song Yihuan nodded: "When Ayuan comes back, we'll have double the joy."

“Sigh…” Shen Yanhui couldn’t help but sigh when Xie Zhaoyuan was mentioned.

"Let's go." She pulled Song Yihuan along and dragged her into the living room.

A group of people gathered together and briefly reviewed what had just happened, which made them even more certain that Qin Wushuang was the one who kidnapped Xie Zhaoyuan.

Xie Mingyi took out his phone: "I'll call Uncle Chen right now and tell him about Qin Wushuang's behavior on the phone."

"Hmm." Pei Xingzhi responded lightly, exchanging a glance with Ye Ci as he adjusted his glasses.

Xie Mingyi made the call right in front of everyone, and then rushed off to the company for a meeting.

Song Yihuan's clothing store was full of troubles, so she didn't stay long before leaving.

However, because she was still preoccupied with Pei Lingxuan and Lin Jiahe, she took them with her when she left. With four out of the seven people gone, only Pei Xingzhi, Ye Ci, and Shen Yanhui remained in the living room.

With all the bystanders gone, it made it easier for the three of them to discuss their matters.

"Did you discover something?" Pei Xingzhi looked at Shen Yanhui and asked directly.

Shen Yan responded with an "Mmm," placed the file bag she had been holding onto on the coffee table, and then pushed it to Pei Xingzhi.

"I've found out everything about that guy I met on a blind date and his recent whereabouts. Take a look."

"...You've found out everything?" Ye Ci was shocked.

Shen Yan replied: "I've investigated everything thoroughly, even his social circle."

“He has many friends, and there are about a dozen who meet our criteria. If we were to conduct a general screening, it would not only be time-consuming but also prone to errors.”

"Therefore, I suggest we use Pei Xingzhi's method."

"Wait!" Ye Ci suddenly raised his hand. "Shen Yanhui, how did you find out so quickly? Even when I asked someone involved in organized crime to investigate him, it would still take two days to get the results. What kind of connections did you use?"

"Uh..." Shen Yanhui was momentarily speechless.

Pei Xingzhi was focused on reading the documents when he heard Ye Ci ask this question, and he looked up at Shen Yanhui with curiosity.

"Shen Yanhui, how come you always manage to get things that we can't?"
