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

Half an hour later, Xie Zhaoyuan made a third call to Lu Yibai.

"beep……"

This time, Lu Yibai answered the phone as soon as the ringtone finished its first ring.

"What's wrong with you now?" Lu Yibai's voice was clear, but it carried obvious impatience. "Xie Zhaoyuan, don't tell me you called to tell me again that you haven't made up your mind yet."

"Huh?" Xie Zhaoyuan laughed. "How did you know?"

"...Xie Zhaoyuan, I really don't have time to argue with you!" Lu Yibai was furious, but considering that he still needed her help, he could only vent his anger.

"If you haven't thought it through yet, then think it through properly. If you have, then come and talk to me seriously! It's the middle of the night, and I still need to sleep. Can you please stop bothering me on purpose?"

“…Oh.” Xie Zhaoyuan’s voice suddenly lowered. “I understand. I won’t bother you anymore.”

She deliberately pretended to admit her mistake and listen to advice, as if she really realized that she had gone a bit too far.

"Go to sleep. I really won't bother you this time. Goodnight, Mr. Lu."

"..." Lu Yibai ignored her and hung up the phone directly.

"Hahahahaha!!!" Xie Zhaoyuan and Pei Xingzhi burst out laughing at the same time.

Pei Xingzhi glanced at the time and said eagerly, "Shall we call Lu Yibai again in half an hour?"

“Okay!” Xie Zhaoyuan snuggled into his arms. “You make the next call and give Lu Yibai a different kind of excitement.”

“Okay!” Pei Xingzhi had the same idea.

Half an hour passed quickly. The moment the alarm rang, he grabbed his phone from the bedside table and dialed Lu Yibai's number.

"Beep...beep..."

The phone rang only twice before Lu Yibai pressed the answer button.

"Pei Xingzhi, have you finally made up your mind?"

Just as Xie Zhaoyuan had predicted, when Lu Yibai received Pei Xingzhi's call, his first reaction was not to think it was a prank, but to naively believe that Pei Xingzhi wanted to talk to him about something serious.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xingzhi's first words were a nonchalant "No."

"..."

Upon hearing those two words, Lu Yibai knew that Pei Xingzhi wasn't there to discuss anything serious, but rather to cause trouble.

"...What exactly are you two trying to do?" Lu Yibai was already getting angry. "Do you think it's fun to tease me? Are you using me as a pastime for you two?"

"..." Pei Xingzhi blinked, his tone rather innocent as he replied, "I didn't say that, you said it yourself."

"...Are you sick?" Lu Yibai couldn't take it anymore, all her previous restraint and humility vanished.

"If you two have something wrong with your brains, please go to the hospital and see a neurologist right now! I'm not a doctor, and I don't treat mentally ill patients!"

“…a rebound,” Pei Xingzhi retorted.

Lu Yibai: "..."

These two words were clearly harmless, but when they came out of Pei Xingzhi's mouth, he instantly lost the strength to curse.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Pei Xingzhi repeated, "Rebound!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone decisively.

"Hahahahaha!!!" Xie Zhaoyuan covered her mouth, laughing so hard her face turned red.

Holding his phone, Pei Xingzhi asked her excitedly, "A-Yuan, what should we do next?"

Xie Zhaoyuan took out her phone and said with a grin, "Next, it's my turn to call Lu Yibai. But I guess he probably won't answer."

As she spoke, she immediately dialed Lu Yibai's number.

Just as she had guessed, Lu Yibai stopped answering her calls, because he was certain that Xie Zhaoyuan was just there to cause trouble.

Xie Zhaoyuan patiently called twice, and only gave up after confirming that Lu Yibai really wouldn't answer.

"Alright, let's stop fighting and get down to business."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi immediately picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Ye Ci.

Let's take action.

Ye Ci replied instantly: Understood.

Then he replied: Brother Pei, why are you up so early?

Pei Xingzhi pinched Xie Zhaoyuan's cheek and sent him a voice message: "Playing pranks with your sister-in-law."

Ye Ci: A prank? Who are you messing with?

Pei Xingzhi: "Besides that 'prodigy' President Lu, who else do you think could it be?"

Ye Ci: Hahahahahaha!! Are you guys done playing? If not, include me!

Pei Xingzhi pulled Xie Zhaoyuan into bed and said regretfully, "You're too late. Your sister-in-law and I have completely offended President Lu. He doesn't even want to answer our calls anymore."

Ye Ci: Uh... okay.

—That's all for now, Brother Pei. I'll be at the studio soon. You and your wife get your peanuts and melon seeds ready, and get ready for the show.

Pei Xingzhi: OK.

After replying, he put his phone next to his pillow, hugged Xie Zhaoyuan, and planned to take a nap.

"It's almost seven o'clock, we can't play anymore. Otherwise, the show will start soon and we'll be too excited to sleep."

Xie Zhaoyuan lay in his arms, blinking her sleepless eyes: "...But I'm so excited I can't sleep right now."

Pei Xingzhi opened his eyes, propped his head up slightly with his palm, and said, "If you can't sleep, what does A-Yuan want to do?"

Xie Zhaoyuan: "Let's go downstairs for breakfast! I saw a video on my phone last night that taught people how to make handmade noodles, and I really want to try it now."

"Okay." Pei Xingzhi gently pinched the tip of her nose. Although he was a little tired, he still wanted to accompany her to do some random things.

"Come on, come on!" Xie Zhaoyuan pulled him out of bed. "Let's prepare breakfast while we wait for Lu Yibai's news!"

Pei Xingzhi secretly yawned behind her back. After she put on her slippers, he took her hand and tiptoed downstairs.

The couple spent three hours busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the whole family.

After finishing cooking and eating, Xie Zhaoyuan finally started to feel sleepy.

But at this point, the real show was just beginning.

"Buzz-"

"Buzz-"

Pei Xingzhi had just put down his chopsticks when Ye Ci suddenly called.

He picked up his phone, answered the call, and then pressed speakerphone.

"Hey."

"Brother Pei!" Ye Ci's voice trembled slightly, each word revealing obvious excitement, "I've already sent out the items, and in less than five minutes, Lu Yibai's name will be known throughout the entire Yun City!"

"Hmm." Pei Xingzhi's reaction was relatively calm. "Now that the items have been sent, I'll contact the police now."

Ye Ci: "Alright! It's almost ten o'clock now, all the police in Yuncheng are on duty. As soon as Brother Pei calls the police, Lu Yibai will be handcuffed as quickly as possible!"

“Hmph,” Pei Xingzhi chuckled, a smile that seemed somewhat malicious, “I look forward to seeing President Lu wearing silver handcuffs on TV.”
