Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

"Your son?" Pei Xiangyang was so angry he almost jumped up.

He wasn't exactly a well-mannered person to begin with; if he weren't afraid of getting beaten up, he would definitely be swearing and cursing.

“That’s my son, Bai Zhenzhu gave birth to him for me, he’s my child, Pei Xiangyang’s child.”

Huo Zheng sneered:

"Come here, let's talk about whose son Shuo Shuo really is."

Pei Xiangyang felt her stomach start hurting again as soon as she saw this man.

He dared not go over there; in fact, he even involuntarily took a few steps back.

Huo Zheng strode over in a few strides and grabbed Pei Xiangyang by the collar:

"I didn't introduce myself last time, but I'll tell you today. My name is Huo Zheng."

"If you dare to harass Bai Zhenzhu again, I will have Xia Jinfei come and take you back personally."

After saying that, he shoved Pei Xiangyang away.

I was going to take action, but seeing Pei Xiangyang like this made me feel disgusted.

The security guard stepped forward and asked:

"Mr. Huo, should we kick him out?"

Huo Zheng took the watch and walked away with a cold face.

He was very angry, angry that he hadn't met Bai Zhenzhu sooner.

If he had met Bai Zhenzhu first, he would never have let her get hurt.

The security guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

Uncle Wang came over and said to Pei Xiangyang in an annoyed tone:

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and leave!"

Pei Xiangyang pointed at Huo Zheng's back:

"Who is he?"

Uncle Wang looked impatient:

"That's our big boss, who else could it be?"

So it turns out that President Huo and President Bai are a couple. No wonder President Huo is so interested in President Bai's affairs.

Uncle Wang disliked Pei Xiangyang even more:

"Get out of here and stop bothering our CEO Bai."

Pei Xiangyang really didn't dare to come.

Even after getting into the car, I still couldn't process what had happened. The person I had just met wasn't Bai Zhenzhu's kept man, but the boss of Huaxing.

He had been in Chengdu for a while and had heard about Huaxing Company before, knowing that the boss behind Huaxing had a powerful background.

What incredible luck Bai Zhenzhu had to hook up with that guy surnamed Huo.

Pei Xiangyang started the car in a panic, and it almost crashed into a roadside utility pole.

……

Back at the courtyard house, Bai Zhenzhu looked very unwell.

If Pei Xiangyang can find Huaxing, he'll find Teapot Alley sooner or later.

If he wants to find it.

But then she thought again that she was overthinking it.

Pei Xiangyang probably sought out Huaxing because he was unwilling to accept that she was living a good life.

Those selfish, ambitious people who are only interested in climbing the social ladder will certainly not dare to act recklessly once they understand the situation.

However, she didn't dare to be careless and told Sister Luo that she must pick up and drop off Shuo Shuo to and from school.

Seeing her serious expression, Sister Luo couldn't help but ask with concern:

"Pearl, what happened?"

Bai Zhenzhu said calmly:

"My ex-husband is currently in Chengdu."

Sister Luo immediately understood and said:

"Don't worry, Pearl, I'll pick up Shuo Shuo half an hour earlier from now on."

Few parents pick up their children from school. Shuo Shuo and Jia Jia are older now, and the two children strongly object to Sister Luo picking them up. Sometimes, if Sister Luo is a little late, they run back on their own.

Sister Luo thought Pei Xiangyang was going to take Shuo Shuo away, so she took the matter very seriously.

Bai Zhenzhu was at home in the afternoon. She had stewed the meat in a pot and left early.

In fact, Bai Zhenzhu was overthinking things; Pei Xiangyang never intended to come looking for Shuo Shuo.

Moreover, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to acknowledge Shuo Shuo.

When he got divorced, he essentially abandoned his son completely, and hasn't thought about him at all over the years.

If he dares to approach Shuo Shuo, Xia Lili will definitely kick him out.

Moreover, Xia Lili gave birth to another son for him, but as for Shuo Shuo, he had never even met him.

Even if Shuo Shuo stood right in front of him, he wouldn't recognize her.

Upon seeing Pei Xiangyang enter, Sun Xing looked at his face with a puzzled expression, frowned, and asked:

"Xiangyang, what happened to your face again?"

Pei Xiangyang looked impatient:

I tripped and fell without noticing.

Sun Xing didn't ask any further questions. He was Xia Lili's cousin, and he had always been in charge of the branch office in Rongcheng.

When Xia Jinfei handed Pei Xiangyang over, he specifically instructed him to keep an eye on Pei Xiangyang and not to interfere in company matters.

Sun Xing couldn't figure out what Xia Jinfei meant either. Anyway, after Pei Xiangyang arrived, he gave him the title of vice president, but he didn't have any specific work. He was just someone Sun Xing would bring along when he needed to socialize.

Let him drink.

He didn't care how Pei Xiangyang got his injury, he just gave a reminder:

"Don't forget the dinner party tonight."

"I understand." Pei Xiangyang rubbed his cheek and asked, "Brother Xing, you said before that Huaxing has a very powerful background, how powerful?"

Son Heung-min glanced at him:

"You came from a military compound, what do you think?"

Pei Xiangyang: "..."

No wonder that guy surnamed Huo hit people so hard.

White Pearl is incredibly lucky.

He asked again:

"How does Huaxing compare to the Lu family, who are having dinner tonight?"

Sun Xing has been in Chengdu for a long time and knows more than Pei Xiangyang.

"It's not a fair comparison. The Lu family is wealthy and has a powerful network of connections. Although Huaxing is just emerging, the Lu family may not have everything that Huaxing has."

"In short, both of these are companies we need to win over."

She looked at Pei Xiangyang suspiciously as she spoke:

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Pei Xiangyang's heart sank:

"Nothing, just asking."

Sun Xing rarely showed such patience:

"You should learn about it. Rongcheng is a good place with immeasurable future development potential. The power dynamics here are also complex. The Lu family and Huaxing are just two of them. Don't offend people recklessly when you're out there."

Pei Xiangyang dared not tell the truth, and only repeatedly assured that he would not.

We had dinner at Xirongyuan Restaurant that evening.

The Lu family has a residential housing project, and Jinfei Real Estate wants to make money from it. Sun Xing made several attempts to arrange a meeting with Lu Kai, and finally managed to get him to agree.

The meal was a pleasant one for both host and guests. Pei Xiangyang may not have many other skills, but he is truly adept at charming people and keeping them company while they drink.

The ability to win over that spoiled young lady, Xia Lili, is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In the end, Pei Xiangyang was sent home by company personnel.

The next morning, his mobile phone started ringing like crazy, ringing and ringing until it woke Pei Xiangyang up.

Pei Xiangyang got up and answered the call; Pei Wenyan's cries immediately came through:

"Brother, something terrible has happened! Our shop has been vandalized!"

Pei Xiangyang scratched his head, somewhat bewildered. His perfectly good shop had been vandalized?

Pei Wenyan was crying her heart out on the other end of the line:

"Someone threw feces at the shop, and all the clothes are ruined. Brother, what should we do?"

Pei Xiangyang was startled and fully awake:

"The store was vandalized?"

"Who did it?"

Pei Wenyan shouted even louder than him:

"How would I know if you ask me? Have you offended someone?"

"My second brother went to see my sister-in-law. He said she should find a solution."

Pei Xiangyang felt a chill run down his spine:

"Don't go to Xia Lili, you can't go."

Pei Wenyan stomped her foot in anger:

"If we don't go to your sister-in-law, who else can we go to? You're not even in Shanghai."

Pei Xiangyang thought to himself, what's the point of finding Xia Lili?

He had already realized that Xia Lili must have smashed the store.
