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

Pei Xingzhi's appearance instantly calmed the volatile Shen Yanhui. She stopped yelling and cursing, and stopped throwing her weight around and making threats. With her cooperation, the rest of the process went much faster.

As Shen Yan left the mediation room, she took out her phone and made a call. After the call, her case with Ms. Zhang turned into a physical altercation.

"Fighting each other? Why should we fight each other?!" Ms. Zhang protested, grabbing a policewoman's clothes and starting a scene.

"This woman hit me first! I only fought back in self-defense, so why did it turn into a mutual fight?"

"Bullshit! You're all talking nonsense! She brought four or five men as backup, and those men all attacked me. Do you think I'd fight five people by myself? Don't you want to look at what you're saying?"

"So what if there are security cameras? Didn't the cameras show that this woman started it? Didn't they show her calling people to restrain me?"

"Pah! A bunch of blind fools..."

The police station was filled with Ms. Zhang's cursing. Qin Song had been listening to it for days and was already numb to it. At this moment, he just wanted to rest with Pei's mother.

Knowing that she was tired, and seeing that she was dozing off with her eyes closed, Pei's mother gently covered her ears with one hand to prevent Ms. Zhang from disturbing her.

She leaned against Pei's mother's shoulder, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Pei Xingzhi came out of the mediation room, turned around and glanced at Qin Song, who was sitting on the bench looking exhausted. His heart ached.

"I understand, thank you, Officer Zhao."

After listening to the police's explanation, Pei Xingzhi turned around and walked towards Qin Song without hesitation.

"Do it!"

Shen Yan caught up and grabbed Pei Xingzhi's hand, her eyes filled with urgency and a hint of grievance: "Xingzhi, I didn't mean to cause you trouble. I just wanted to teach that woman a lesson to get revenge for you!"

"Miss Shen." Pei Xingzhi was truly exhausted from being tormented by her time and time again. He coldly changed his form of address and ruthlessly pushed Shen Yanhui's hand away.

“I don’t care what your purpose was in doing this, I just hope you won’t bother my wife. My wife is almost five months pregnant and needs to rest and recover. Please stop causing her trouble.”

"I didn't mean to cause her any trouble!" Shen Yan retorted stubbornly, her tone unwilling. "Xingzhi, I really just wanted to help you and vent your anger. I didn't want to make things so big."

"..." Pei Xingzhi closed his eyes, feeling a headache coming on, and didn't want to continue her conversation.

She took two steps forward, rolled up her sleeve to reveal the red and swollen scratches on her fair skin, and pitifully showed them to Pei Xingzhi: "Xingzhi, I'm injured too."

"Hmph..." Pei Xingzhi sneered, not even sparing her a glance.

"Miss Shen, isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

"I..." Shen Yan Hui was speechless after being rebuked.

Pei Xingzhi ignored her and walked straight to Qin Song.

"Xiao Song?" His lean waist bent slightly, and his tone was one of tenderness that Shen Yan Hui longed for.

"Xiao Song, we can go home now. How about we go home and sleep there?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Song opened his eyes and nodded listlessly: "Okay."

"Come here." Pei Xingzhi reached out to help her up, pulled her into his arms, and said, "I'll take you home."

"Xingzhi, has everything been taken care of?" Madam Pei stood up immediately afterward, her brows furrowed as she asked with concern.

Pei Xingzhi lowered his head, put one arm around Qin Song's shoulder, and brushed away the stray hairs from her forehead with the other, his fingers casually touching her cheek.

"This matter has little to do with our family. I've done all the necessary cooperation, and the rest is none of our business. Don't worry, Mom."

"That's good." Pei's mother finally felt relieved. She picked up Qin Song's bag and followed Pei Xingzhi outside.

"Xingzhi." Shen Yanhui chased after him unwillingly, explaining to Pei Xingzhi's retreating figure.

"Wait, don't rush off! Let me explain, okay?"

"I really didn't mean to cause you trouble. If you don't like me like this, I'll change right away!"

"Xingzhi, wait for me, I have something to tell you. I promise, after you hear it, you will definitely not blame me anymore!"

Pei Xingzhi did not respond with a single word.

Having no other choice, Shen Yanhui had to resort to her trump card.

"Xingzhi, my dad sent me a WeChat message this morning reminding me to prepare your presentation materials. The first investment competition starts on Monday!"

Pei Xingzhi remained silent.

He escorted Qin Song to the car, personally opened the passenger door, and carefully helped her into the seat.

"Xiao Song, wait for me a moment, I'll go and talk to her and make everything clear."

Qin Song blinked wearily: "Go ahead."

"Thank you for waiting for me." Pei Xingzhi leaned down, getting a little closer, and then gently kissed Qin Song's forehead.

"..."

"!!!"

Qin Song froze for a few seconds, then suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Pei Xingzhi... kissed me?" She murmured in disbelief, slowly raising her right hand and gently touching the spot where Pei Xingzhi had kissed her.

The warmth from her lips still lingered, and Qin Song bit her lip, her cheeks suddenly feeling hot.

"Miss Shen." Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses, lifted his long legs slightly, and walked to the other side of the car in a few steps.

Shen Yanhui stared at Qin Song with jealousy until Pei Xingzhi called her for the second time. Only then did she grit her teeth, withdraw her gaze, and walk up to Pei Xingzhi in her high heels.

Pei Xingzhi rubbed his aching temples, his attitude toward Shen Yanhui colder than ever before.

“Ms. Shen, you have seriously crossed the line.”

Shen Yanhui's hands hung down in front of her, her fingers twisting together in a tangled mess: "Xingzhi, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make things like this."

Pei Xingzhi didn't respond to her question, but continued, "Work is work, and life is life. My relationship with Miss Shen has always remained at the professional level, but Miss Shen has repeatedly intruded into my life and disturbed my wife. Doesn't Miss Shen think this is going too far?"

"I...I'm doing this for your own good."

Pei Xingzhi's words failed to make Shen Yanhui reflect. Shen Yanhui stepped forward, somewhat aggrieved: "Because of Qin Song, you were schemed against and went bankrupt. Because of Qin Song, you are looked down upon and ridiculed everywhere! Because of Qin Song, your life is not peaceful, and your family is not peaceful!"

"I only wanted to enter your life to help you because I felt sorry for you! Xingzhi, why can't you see my feelings?"

"Help me?" Pei Xingzhi lowered his brows slightly, his eyes already radiating a fierce aura. "Miss Shen, my life is happy and fulfilling, why would I need your help?"

"My bankruptcy, my being looked down upon, my life full of troubles—none of these have anything to do with Xiao Song! Please get your facts straight and stop smearing my Xiao Song!"
