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

The next day, Thursday, is the Dragon Boat Festival, but there is no holiday.

Because Pei Xiangyang was in Chengdu recently, Sister Luo took great care in picking up and dropping off Shuo Shuo, and went there early in the morning.

Bai Zhenzhu knew that Pei Xiangyang was ruthless, so she dared not be careless and left Xiaoju at home to help Sister Luo pick up and drop off the children.

On Thursday afternoon, Huo Zheng called to say that Pei Xiangyang had come to Chengdu to discuss the cooperation between Jinfei Real Estate and Shenghong, and had just arrived in Chengdu yesterday.

Bai Zhenzhu spent the whole day in the office reviewing accounts.

She thought Pei Xiangyang would come looking for her, but Pei Xiangming and Pei Wenyan knew her shop and would find her easily.

They didn't see anyone until nightfall.

He acted like he cared a lot about Shuo Shuo yesterday, but it was only because she changed Shuo Shuo's surname that he felt embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Pei Xiangyang was busy.

I was supposed to have dinner with Lu Kai last night, but he was busy and we couldn't make it. We've arranged to meet again tonight.

Sun Xing arranged to meet at Cui Lan's teahouse. Since they arrived early, Sun Xing took Pei Xiangyang and Pei Xiangming for a massage first.

Pei Xiangyang was very surprised:

"I can't believe Chengdu has such a high-end teahouse, they even offer massages."

Sun Xing glanced at him:

Do you know who designed this teahouse?

Pei Xiangyang: "How would I know?"

Sun Xing: "White Pearl".

Pei Xiangyang's eyes widened.

Then he suddenly turned to Pei Xiangming next door.

Pei Xiangming didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment, but he still answered truthfully:

"Not only this teahouse, but also President Lu's private club were designed by Bai Zhenzhu. She is a shareholder of a very famous decoration company in Rongcheng. Many restaurants and clothing stores in Rongcheng were designed by her."

As he spoke, Pei Xiangming looked at his brother:

"Brother, aren't you surprised?"

“I didn’t believe it at first, but it’s true. Bai Zhenzhu has opened many stores, including two hot pot restaurants and several clothing stores.”

"Also, the entire Bai family came to Rongcheng to help her. It's said that the three Bai brothers have already bought apartments in Rongcheng."

Pei Xiangyang couldn't believe it was true.

Why is Bai Zhenzhu's life getting better and better?

She owns so many businesses in Chengdu?

This is impossible!

"Xiang Ming, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"A designer? Bai Zhenzhu is just a village woman..."

No.

Thinking of Bai Zhenzhu, whom he had met in Yuan City and Yangcheng, Pei Xiangyang could no longer say that Bai Zhenzhu was a village woman, even if he went against his conscience.

He stood there, stunned, his mind blank.

Sun Xing shook his head, feeling even more disdain for Pei Xiangyang.

What a jerk, abandoning his wife and children for money.

Xia Lili is such a fool. What kind of man couldn't she have? Why did she choose someone like this?

The Xia family actually sent him here; isn't that just making things worse?

Sun Xing coldly reminded:

"I don't care what your relationship with Bai Zhenzhu was before. She has a very good relationship with Chairman Lu. When Chairman Lu arrives, you'd better not mention Bai Zhenzhu."

"Especially don't let Chairman Lu know about your relationship with Bai Zhenzhu."

He was also quite helpless. He originally wanted Xia Jinfei to come to Rongcheng in person, but Xia Jinfei actually sent Pei Xiangyang instead.

It seems that Pei Xiangyang's position in the Xia family has become increasingly stable recently.

Sun Xing didn't want to offend Pei Xiangyang either.

He still depends on the Xia family for food. If Pei Xiangyang goes back and whispers sweet nothings in Xia Lili's ear, he'll be in deep trouble.

I'm not going to think about it too much. As long as I keep Lu Kai company tonight, we can continue our cooperation later.

Pei Xiangyang and Pei Xiangming exchanged a glance, both of them looking rather grim.

Pei Xiangyang only found out about Pei Wenyan's misdeeds last night. Pei Xiangming had been keeping it from him, mainly because he was afraid that the Xia family would have a bad impression of Pei Xiangyang if they found out about Pei Wenyan.

Pei Xiangyang had no time to delve into the relationship between Bai Zhenzhu and Lu Kai, nor did he have any interest in figuring out how Bai Zhenzhu had become so powerful. Lu Kai was about to arrive, and the two brothers didn't know how to deal with him.

They deceived several people, never expecting to end up in this predicament themselves.

Sun Xing had no idea that Pei Wenyan had gotten involved with Lu Jiachang. If he had known, he would have jumped up and down right now.

He was completely unaware of the unease in the hearts of the Pei brothers, and was still patiently giving them instructions:

"How should I put it, Chairman Lu is very easy to talk to as long as it's someone or something that suits his taste."

"Xiangyang, you are here representing the Xia family of Shanghai. You must be sincere, but you can't be overly obsequious."

"Xiang Ming, be quick-witted and keep the drinks flowing."

Pei Xiangyang and Pei Xiangming dared not tell the truth, only hoping that Lu Kai would not hold Pei Wenyan's matter against them for the sake of the Xia family.

Moreover, it was his father who kept a mistress; you can only blame his shameless father.

Pei Xiangyang was initially quite pleased that Xia Jinfei had sent him to Rongcheng. This was the first time Xia Jinfei had entrusted him with such an important task, and it was worth it for him to have been subservient to Xia Lili and worked like a slave in the company all this time.

He never expected that arriving in Chengdu would bring a series of devastating blows.

First, his biological son disowned him, and then Bai Zhenzhu became a big boss.

Then Pei Wenyan planted another major landmine for him.

He clung to a sliver of hope, thinking that since it was a collaboration between two families, Lu Kai, a man of great ambition, wouldn't refuse to cooperate with the Xia family in Shanghai just because of Pei Wenyan, would he?

I heard that Lu Kai also wants to get involved in Shanghai's real estate market, and the cooperation with the Xia family can be said to be very beneficial to both parties.

The massage therapist arrived, and the three of them stopped talking.

After they had finished pressing the buttons, the group went to the private room to wait for Lu Kai.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Lu Kai finally arrived.

Lu Kai doesn't like to be surrounded by people wherever he goes. At most, he'll bring an assistant so that someone can take care of him if he gets drunk.

Upon entering the private room, Pei Xiangyang was taken aback when he saw Lu Kai.

Another pretty boy.

Sun Xing introduced the two men.

Lu Kai's gaze fell indifferently on Pei Xiangyang, then glanced at Pei Xiangming, the meaning clear:

"This name means you're brothers?"

Sun Xing was a bit dumbfounded, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

Pei Xiangyang extended his hand proactively:

"Hello Chairman Lu, I am Pei Xiangyang from Shanghai Jinfeng Real Estate..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Kai gave him a look of sudden realization:

"Oh, Bai Zhenzhu's ex-husband."

Pei Xiangyang: "..."

Sun Xing: "..."

I am really afraid of what will happen.

How did Lu Kai find out about Pei Xiangyang and Bai Zhenzhu's relationship?

All three of them couldn't help but wonder if the information had come from Pei Wenyan.

They never imagined that Bai Zhenzhu had actually told Lu Kai this herself.

Pei Xiangming looked somewhat puzzled.

Lu Kai knew that he and Pei Wenyan were siblings, but the other party actually mentioned Bai Zhenzhu first?

What does it mean?

Could it be that Bai Zhenzhu's relationship with Pei Xiangyang is more important to him than Pei Wenyan's relationship with his biological father?

Pei Xiangyang's hand was still outstretched in mid-air when Lu Kai, as if he hadn't seen it, sat down on the chair that Zhu Fan had pulled out.

Pei Xiangyang awkwardly withdrew his hand, feeling a burning sensation on his face.
