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

After lunch, Qin Song tidied up the kitchen briefly and then took a taxi back to her and Pei Xingzhi's rented apartment.

Although this place isn't as grand as Pei's mother's house, it's still their little home. Pei Xingzhi is in a bad mood, and seeing her as soon as he gets home should make him feel a little better.

Having finished revising all three images that had been sold, Qin Song didn't dare to rest for long. After cleaning the rented room, he sat down at his workbench and continued drawing Feng Yu's necklace.

Coloring is a task that tests one's patience. Qin Song put his phone on silent and sat there for hours on end.

Meanwhile, inside the Shen Group's office building.

Pei Xingzhi collected his campaign materials one by one and said expressionlessly to Shen Yingshan across the long table, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, I cannot agree to your request."

"Why?" Shen Yingshan didn't understand. "I only asked you to marry my daughter, I didn't ask you to go through fire and water, why can't you agree? Is Yan Hui not as good as Qin Song?"

“She’s not as good as Qin Song.” Pei Xingzhi’s answer was direct. “In my heart, she is not as good as Qin Song.”

"You—" Shen Yingshan was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know what to say for Shen Yanhui.

Pei Xingzhi carefully put away his campaign materials and placed them in the file folder beside him. Then, he looked up at Shen Yingshan, whose face was ashen, and emphasized, word by word, "Qin Song is my wife. In my heart, she will always be number one, and no one can surpass her. Mr. Shen, your request is too unreasonable, and I will never agree to it."

"My request is unreasonable?" Shen Yingshan laughed in anger at these words. He raised his hand and slammed it on the table, making a dull thud.

"Pei Xingzhi, I'm already being lenient by marrying my daughter to a divorced man like you! How dare you accuse me of being unreasonable?"

Pei Xingzhi lowered his eyes and answered neither humbly nor arrogantly: "I am already married, and my wife is five months pregnant. Yet, at this time, President Shen is asking me to abandon my wife and child and marry your daughter. What is this if not unreasonable?"

Shen Yingshan stood up from his chair, pointed his finger at Pei Xingzhi's nose, and said angrily, "Pei Xingzhi, are you really stupid or just pretending? Your wife, Qin Song, is no pushover at all!"

"She's been married to you for six months now, and what has she done in the past six months? Causing trouble everywhere, philandering! The Qin family, the Lu family, and your family have all been turned upside down by her! You still consider a woman like her your wife? You must be out of your mind!"

Pei Xingzhi pursed his lips, not in a hurry to refute.

Shen Yingshan glared at him with exasperation and continued, "On the other hand, my Yan Hui comes from a respectable family with a strong background, and she herself is a top student who returned from studying abroad. She is so outstanding that even ten Qin Songs combined couldn't compare to a single hair on her head!"

"If you're not out of your mind, you should know how to make a choice!"

“Heh…” Pei Xingzhi twitched the corner of his mouth and chuckled ambiguously.

Shen Yingshan walked out from behind his desk with his hands behind his back, slightly toning down his aggressive aura.

“Pei Xingzhi, I know what you need most right now, and you know it too. The Pei Group has been reduced to ruins. If you want to make a comeback and rebuild the Pei Group, you must climb up to a powerful force.”

"It's obvious that Yan Hui is the force you need most. What she can give you is something Qin Song could never give you in his entire life."

"As a man, as a businessman, you should know what the right choice is!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Xingzhi finally raised his lowered eyes. He looked at Shen Yingshan calmly, his face devoid of any emotion.

Shen Yingshan raised his hand and tapped him: "This is an opportunity given to you by the Shen Group! Whether you can get back on your feet depends on your choice now."

Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses and quickly gave his choice.

"I choose Qin Song."

“You…” Shen Yingshan was dumbfounded.

Pei Xingzhi smiled slightly and repeated what he had just said: "I choose Qin Song. No matter how outstanding Miss Shen is, I will choose Qin Song."

"You—you've lost your mind!" Shen Yingshan's patience ran out, and he pointed at Pei Xingzhi and cursed, "No wonder you bankrupted the Pei Group. With your brain and vision, you're destined to never achieve anything great!"

"The opportunity is right in front of you, and you don't even know to seize it! Such a good opportunity is something that people outside would beg for even if they kowtowed their heads off!"

Pei Xingzhi: "Those people are those people, and I am me. President Shen doesn't need to lump us together for comparison. I know President Shen is angry, and I don't care how President Shen belittles me. My choice is right here, and I will not change it no matter what."

"Why?" Shen Yingshan was truly puzzled. "Why do you insist on having Qin Song? What is it about my daughter that you don't like?"

Pei Xingzhi replied calmly, "Miss Shen is very good and outstanding, but unfortunately, I don't like her at all. To me, an engagement is an engagement, and business is business. I don't want to tie business and engagement together."

"Mr. Shen, don't even think about using marriage to determine my future."

"As for why I can't live without Qin Song, I have no way to explain it to President Shen."

"Why?" Shen Yingshan asked with a dark face.

Pei Xingzhi: "Because this is my private matter. Whether Qin Song is good or not, I know for myself, and I don't need other people's opinions. Moreover, Qin Song is not a commodity. I will not measure her value from a business perspective, much less let her be sacrificed in this business."

As he spoke, Pei Xingzhi recalled the photo Qin Song had sent him at noon. The person in the photo was gentle and lovely, and just thinking about her made Pei Xingzhi feel at ease and content.

He smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness: "I founded the Pei Group myself. I didn't rely on anyone, especially not a woman. Now, starting over, I can do it all again!"

“Mr. Shen, you are a qualified businessman. But I am not. I can’t let go of Qin Song.”

Shen Yingshan stared at him, a cold smile playing on his lips: "Pei Xingzhi, I'm not going to bargain with you. I'll say it again: Yan Hui is my only bloodline, and I must find a way to fulfill her wishes. If you stubbornly refuse to divorce Qin Song, I won't approve the investment for you."

"Think it over carefully: do you want Qin Song, or Yan Hui and the Shen Group?"

Shen Yingshan has already offered the maximum possible conditions; any normal person should know how to choose.

But Pei Xingzhi remained unmoved.

"I want Qin Song."

"You—" Shen Yingshan glared at him with wide eyes, "If you want Qin Song, then don't even think about investing! You're already isolated and helpless in Yuncheng. Apart from the Shen Group, no one is willing to invest money in you!"

Pei Xingzhi nodded and said only two words: "Goodbye."
