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

"Thank you for your kindness. You can give those things to Xia Ziyao." Cheng Xi said politely, "Don't bother my family. I don't want to go back to the Pei family anymore. Just contact me when you go to get divorced." That’s it.”

"Cheng Xi, what are you talking about? I have already apologized." Pei Yanzhou rubbed his swollen temples. "Or if you want me to do anything, just tell me and I will do as you say."

"No, your Pei family has a great business. I don't need you to do anything for me. Besides, I did do something wrong in this matter."

Pei Yanzhou felt that Cheng Xi's attitude was calm, not sarcastic, and not sharp. This was completely unlike the Cheng Xi she once knew.

Somehow, she would rather Cheng Xi be as aggressive as before.

"Cheng Xi, come back with me, and I promise to change my attitude towards you, okay?"

Cheng Xi refused without thinking, "I really don't want to live back. I initially promised you to make your family hate me and then get divorced, but living with you is too tiring. On the first day, you called I got out. The next day, I was called a thief. On the third day, I felt that I had harmed your mother and that your family was not living well. I didn’t want to wrong myself. Even though I was a strong person, my heart was still flesh. Made."

"Besides, I'm still studying, and school is about to start during the summer vacation. Always struggling like this will delay my study. I plan to rent a house outside. "

She was so straightforward and decisive, which made Pei Yanzhou feel a little uncomfortable, "If you don't want to live in the Pei family, we can move to my villa outside."

Cheng Xi was surprised for a few seconds, but she was not moved at all, "No, you don't like me, and we are not happy living together under the same roof. I can rent a small apartment by myself and live more comfortably. You can divorce directly after that." Just contact me.”

"..."

Seeing that he was silent, Cheng Xi said again: "Mr. Pei, I'm hanging up. Goodbye."

The phone ended with a beep.

Pei Yanzhou couldn't find any fault with her. She wasn't angry or indifferent, and she didn't say anything unpleasant at all, even though she was very polite at the end.

But the more this happened, the more Pei Yanzhou felt that his chest was congested.

After leaving Cheng's house, Pei Yanzhou called his assistant Yang Kai: "Find someone to find out where Cheng Xi is."

……

in the hotel.

Cheng Xi put down her phone and looked at herself in the bathroom mirror. Half of her face was swollen like a steamed bun, and it hurt when she touched her hands.

She sighed.

Didn't you want to scold Pei Yanzhou on the phone just now?

Of course I do.

However, she has made up her mind that she does not intend to have any interaction with the Pei family. If she persists, she will only continue to have entanglements with the Pei family.

Besides, she has also heard the principle of keeping a thin line in life.

After all, she was still a little scared after Pei's mother's accident last night. This behemoth of the Pei family crushed her and Fang Qiu to death like an ant.

Right now, the top priority is to find an apartment for yourself instead of staying in a hotel all the time.

Cheng Xi plans to rent a place near the university town so that he can go back to the apartment to rest when he has time.

She couldn't wait to have a nest of her own.

……

In the office building of Pei Group.

Yang Kai spent more than a day finally finding out about Cheng Xi.

"Mr. Pei, the young lady lives in the Li & Fung Hotel. She has been looking at houses for the past two days. I heard from the people at the agency that she seems to be looking for a house to live near the university town. The price is not expensive. One month The price is about one thousand two thousand."

Pei Yanzhou frowned, with a hint of doubt, "Land is very expensive in Su City, especially in the university town. You can't rent a well-decorated house for only 1,200 yuan. Doesn't her mother run a company? It is said that one year You can earn tens of millions, and you are a descendant of the Su family after all, so why are you so reluctant to part with it?"

"Maybe... the young lady is more frugal."

Pei Yanzhou only thought of this reason. After all, when he was studying abroad, the Pei family was afraid of developing his lavish habit. They gave him very little living expenses every month. He didn't have enough money, so he had to work part-time outside. , start a business, and make money with your own hands.

In fact, this is fine. Young people cannot rely too much on their families.

"I remember I have several apartment buildings in the university town." Pei Yanzhou suddenly said, "You spend some money to let the tenant terminate the contract early and find a way to rent her an apartment at a low price."

Yang Kai's face flashed with a strange expression. Before, he was shouting that he wanted to get out of here and get a divorce. Now that he has got out of here, he secretly gave him a room to live in.

I don't know what Mr. Pei means.

……

Cheng Xi was a little annoyed.

She thought renting a house would be an easy task, but she didn't expect to see anything she liked for two days.

Some rooms are too dirty and the furniture is too shabby. Others have inconvenient transportation and high rents.

How about renting that shabby apartment? Once the furniture is replaced, it should be comfortable.

At this time, the agent called her and said that he had a particularly high-end apartment in a good location and with new decoration. The owner was in urgent need of money and wanted to rent out the apartment in advance.

Cheng Xi didn't have any hope at first, but she ran over to take a look and liked it very much.

This is a loft apartment with exquisite and warm decoration. It is fully equipped with a TV, refrigerator, and air conditioner. There is a living room and dining room below, a small study room on one side above, and a bedroom on the other side.

“How much does this apartment cost per month?”

The agent smiled and said: "One thousand."

"A thousand?" Cheng Xi said blankly, "It's impossible."

"Really, I just have to pay half a year's rent at a time because the owner is in desperate need of money."

"No problem, I'll rent it."

Cheng Xi didn't hesitate anymore, joking, for such a cheap and high-end house, it would be no problem to pay for it for two years, not to mention half a year at a time.

After signing the contract, Cheng Xi immediately changed the door password and moved his luggage from the hotel.

For the first time in her life, Cheng Xi had a house of her own, and she was very happy.

Although the Cheng family is good, they are still dependent on others, let alone the Pei family. They are always disliked and looked down upon by others, and are often scolded by Pei Yanzhou.

Never again.

In this home, she can do whatever she wants.

Cheng Xi happily went to the supermarket downstairs to buy a lot of daily necessities and came back.

After working hard for two days and finally decorating the house to look like home, Cheng Xi called her friend Ling Zheng.

"Zhengzheng, when are you going back to Su City? I'm telling you, I've rented a house outside. You can come and stay with me before you go back to school. We'll make hot pot for dinner at night."

"You didn't have a flash marriage, why are you still renting a house outside?" Ling Zheng wondered, "Has your husband finally died?"

"..."

Cheng Xi wanted to laugh, "No, we can't live without each other now. It's conflicting to live together, so I just moved out. Hey, I made a mistake. The rent of this house is not expensive, and it's a loft."

"Okay, then I'll come over tonight."
