Substitute new wife: Mr. Pei, are you getting divorced today?

It’s over.

These two words flashed through Pei Yanzhou's mind.

During this time, he felt that Cheng Xi was no longer resisting her so much.

Mu Xuetong's appearance today seems to have brought everything back to the starting point.

"Cheng Xi, let me tell you a story."

Pei Yanzhou tugged on the tie around his neck, his handsome face showing a trace of depression, "When I was in elementary school, an enemy of my father's business targeted me. I still remember that it was a weekend, and when I just came out of school, I was still thinking about where to go during the weekend tomorrow, but in the blink of an eye I was tied into a car."

Cheng Xi's heart skipped a beat.

In fact, she had heard Pei Feiyue talk about these things before, but this was the first time she heard it from Pei Yanzhou.

In the dark car, the man's voice was low, "I was tied up by several people after I got in the car. I was young at the time and I kept resisting. They scolded me, beat me, and kicked me. I was stuffed in the trunk. , and were quickly taken out of Sioux City. It was cold at that time, and it lasted for more than half a month. I didn’t have enough to eat, and it was very cold. If I didn’t like it, they would take it out on me. What I ate was rotten rice and rotten water.”

Cheng Xi finally turned his eyes from the neon-lit window and looked at the handsome, dignified and proud man next to him.

She knew very well that Pei Yanzhou had revealed to her the most embarrassing past events that he had least wanted to recall.

For a person of his background, this kind of thing would probably be rotten in his stomach for the rest of his life.

However, he told her.

Pei Yanzhou looked at her bitterly, "I once thought that I would not be able to endure it and die. Finally, one time I found an opportunity to sneak out while they were not paying attention at night, but they soon discovered that I was there all the way. I was running wildly in the woods. I had not eaten for a long time. When I missed my foot, I rolled down the hillside and fainted in the afternoon. Later, Uncle Mu who was passing by saved me and sent me to the hospital."

"When I woke up, the doctor said I might have lost my memory after being hit while rolling down the mountain, but I knew it was Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu who saved me. They had no money, but they still used their remaining savings to treat me. Otherwise I might become a fool."

Pei Yanzhou smiled bitterly and wanted to get a cigarette, but when he thought of Cheng Xi in the car, he held it back.

"Think about it, an eight-year-old child who is scarred and doesn't know who he is, looks to Uncle Mu as his savior and relies on him like a father. I'm afraid of being left behind. They also feel sorry for me and take me away. After returning home, when we first went to Mu's house, Xue Tong, who could only walk, made a fuss because Aunt Mu originally said she would send her to kindergarten, but because she saved me, the family had no extra money and she couldn't afford to go to school. In kindergarten, the little girl kept crying and making trouble for a few days. Later, because of me, she was never able to go to kindergarten."

Cheng Xi didn't say anything, but he could also understand why he had been so indulgent to Mu Xuetong, because he owed it to the Mu family and Mu Xuetong's childhood.

Pei Yanzhou: "The Mu family supported me until my senior year in high school. Because of an accident, I remembered what happened when I was a child and my identity. I returned to the Pei family, but I grew up in the Mu family and had already forgotten Mu. Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu regard me as my biological parents. In addition to Mu Xuetong, there is also Ruoqi, who is Xuetong’s sister. When I returned from studying abroad, Ruoqi went to the airport to pick me up. Something happened on the way. In a vegetative state.”

The man's voice became hoarse, and there was also a flash of suppressed pain, "Although I bought a house for the Mu family and found a job for Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu in Sioux City, the kindness that the Mu family shows to me is not the same as the kindness I feel towards the Mu family. It's hard to repay the debt, so I can't ignore Xuetong's affairs. They only have one daughter, Xuetong, and Xuetong is their life."

Pei Yanzhou looked up at her, "Cheng Xi, I know very well that you don't like Xuetong, but if I don't solve today's matter, Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu will definitely come forward in the end, and they may sell their house and car for Mu Xuetong. To repay, I have no choice.”

Cheng Xi nodded and said softly: "I understand you. If it were me and you, I would do the same thing."

She admitted that when she saw Pei Yanzhou paying 4 million to protect Mu Xuetong at the Convention and Exhibition Center, she felt very uncomfortable at the time.

She doesn't understand.

Why does someone help clean up a rotten person like Mu Xuetong every time she gets into trouble?

After listening to Pei Yanzhou talk about his past experience, she understood.

Except for Mu Xuetong, everyone in the Mu family is very good.

Pei Yanzhou felt relieved and subconsciously wanted to hold her hand.

Cheng Xi dodged away, his eyes clear, "It's just that I'm not you. I'm Cheng Xi who didn't get any apology after Mu Xuetong plagiarized his work. I was almost tripped by Mu Xuetong on purpose just now at the Convention and Exhibition Center. Cheng Xi, I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, I can't tolerate my boyfriend always helping another person who hurts me in the future. I think you can find a girl who can tolerate Mu Xuetong and the Mu family in the future. Better."

However, according to her observations, she felt that Mu Xuetong liked Pei Yanzhou.

Mu Xuetong would probably be hostile to any girl Pei Yanzhou found.

No one is great enough to tolerate and accept someone who is hostile to them.

But that's Pei Yanzhou's business. Maybe money can tolerate a lot of things.

Pei Yanzhou's handsome face turned faintly blue in the dim light, "Did you just say that Xue Tong deliberately tripped you at the convention and exhibition center?"

"It's just the two of us, and I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Mu Xuetong's fall did have something to do with me, but she deliberately tried to trip me up with her foot. I took advantage of the trick and knocked my foot over hard, but she didn't stand up on her own. When she fell, she grabbed the hair of the photographer in front of her in desperation. To be honest, if I knew she would cost you four million in the end, I would probably avoid her. Tsukuru didn’t see anything.”

Cheng Xi shrugged after finishing speaking, "Of course, you don't have to believe what I said."

Anyway, the trust between her and him didn't reach that level.

"I believe it." Pei Yanzhou said with deep eyes, "You don't need to lie to me about this kind of thing."

The surprise in the depths of Cheng Xi's eyes flashed away.

But that's all.

She admitted that what Pei Yanzhou did for her on the school basketball court yesterday had shaken her.

Even during the T stage event tonight, I had the idea of ​​trying him again.

But now there is none.

Pei Yanzhou has his own merits. He helps the Mu family out of love and justice.

This is good, but Cheng Xi also realizes that no matter when she and Mu Xuetong have a conflict because of that kindness, or when Mu Xuetong gets into trouble again in the future, Pei Yanzhou will always do it without complaining. He regretted helping Mu Xuetong in the past.

Her mind is only a little bit small, and she has never been a generous person.
