The manager looked Jiang Yuzhu up and down, and seeing that she was wearing ordinary clothes, he had no worries and said sarcastically: "You are living in such poverty, why are you here to help others?"

When Li He saw Jiang Yuzhu, he was stunned for a moment. He protected Jiang Yuzhu behind him and said humbly to the manager, "Manager, I know it's my fault. I won't give up my salary now. I'll come back to you when the time comes."

He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Jiang Yuzhu.

"what happened?"

At this time, a steady and low male voice came from far away.

Jiang Yuzhu stood still and didn't move.

The manager and Li He both looked over.

The manager knew Pei Jingchuan. After seeing the person clearly, he lost all his arrogance and bowed to Pei Jingchuan, "Mr. Pei, why are you here?"

"Can't you understand?" Pei Jingchuan glanced at the manager with cold eyes, walked to Jiang Yuzhu in a few steps, and naturally held her hand.

When the manager saw this scene, his pupils shrank, and he cursed himself for his impulsiveness just now.

He quickly put on a smile and briefly explained what had just happened, "Mr. Pei, I really didn't know that you knew this lady? I will pay him the wages owed to the employees immediately."

Then, the manager looked at Jiang Yuzhu again, pleading with his eyes, "Miss, I was blind just now. Don't argue with me! Just treat it like a dog bite!"

Jiang Yuzhu originally didn't want to embarrass anyone, but this time he just sympathized with Li He's situation and helped.

She pursed her lips calmly, "It's okay."

The manager said a few more nice words to Pei Jingchuan before leaving.

Li He glanced at the hands held by the two, quickly looked away, and said gratefully: "Yuzhu, thank you, I am indeed sorry for what happened before, I..."

Glancing at the man standing next to Jiang Yuzhu, Li He realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly found an excuse to leave.

"I'm going to work first. Thank you for today!"

After Li He left, Jiang Yuzhu looked up at Pei Jingchuan and said in a gentle voice, "Why are you here?"

Pei Jingchuan looked away from Li He, his eyes softened, "I came back after discussing business and found you were not there. Qing Ning said you were in the bathroom, so I came over."

"Who was that person just now?" Pei Jingchuan asked casually.

He could tell that the man just now had an unusual relationship with Jiang Yuzhu.

Jiang Yuzhu took Pei Jingchuan's arm and walked out, explaining calmly: "Actually, he was my ex-boyfriend, but he later got together with Shen Qiang."

She simply mentioned the relationship without going into details.

Pei Jingchuan deduced from time that Jiang Yuzhu chose to marry him because Li He betrayed her.

Thinking of this, Pei Jingchuan felt irritable and his dark eyes darkened a bit.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't notice and believed that Pei Jingchuan wouldn't be angry or jealous because of such a trivial matter.

After the two of them arrived in the hall, Gu Qiyang came over, glanced at Pei Jingchuan, and joked: "Yuzhu, can you teach me how to make Lao Pei obey your words? It's just that I haven't seen him for more than ten minutes, so I'm so anxious I’m going to find you.”

Ye Qingning said with a smile: "When you find a girlfriend yourself, you will know how you feel."

In response to the two people's teasing, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but blush and said nothing.

Pei Jingchuan lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuzhu's red face. His jealousy because of Li He had just dissipated.

"It's getting late, let's go back first." Pei Jingchuan said hello to Gu Qiyang and Ye Qingning, and then walked towards the door with his arms around Jiang Yuzhu's thin waist.

After getting in the car, Jiang Yuzhu leaned on the back of his chair and looked at the patient's files on his phone.

Pei Jingchuan put his fingers on his temples and glanced at Jiang Yuzhu from time to time. When he was about to arrive home, he pretended to be unconscious and asked, "Have you been talking to Li He for a long time?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu raised his eyebrows, put away his phone, and thought about it seriously, "In fact, it wasn't that long, it was only a year."

Pei Jingchuan took in all Jiang Yuzhu's words and deeds, and saw how serious she was towards Li He before, and felt a little bit disgusted in his heart.

His voice was low and he continued to ask, "Did you really like Li He before?"

Jiang Yuzhu pursed his lips and answered calmly, "Li He is my first love. After I went to college, Li He began to pursue me. Later, I was moved by his perseverance and decided to be with him. I treat every situation with the same attitude." We are very serious about our relationship, and we are also very serious about him.”

"But then he cheated on her with Shen Qiang, so I completely withdrew from that relationship and didn't have too much nostalgia."

Mentioning the past, Jiang Yuzhu's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness.

Pei Jingchuan listened carefully, and even he himself did not notice the change in his mood.

After getting off the car, the two entered the villa one after another.

Jiang Yuzhu didn't notice anything was wrong with Pei Jingchuan. The two of them sat on the sofa and looked at their phones.

After a few minutes, Jiang Yuzhu put his phone on the coffee table, got up and went to the bathroom.

Pei Jingchuan snuggled into the sofa and raised his hands to rub his temples.

Ever since Jiang Yuzhu told her about her previous love history, Pei Jingchuan always felt filled with panic, but he didn't want Jiang Yuzhu to know.

Just when Jiang Yuzhu was irritated, Jiang Yuzhu's cell phone suddenly rang, and a message popped up.

Pei Jingchuan glanced at it accidentally, and when he saw the word "Li He" in the note, Pei Jingchuan frowned even more.

"Yuzhu, thank you so much today. Aren't you and Mr. Pei already together? I think your relationship is quite close. Although it's not convenient for me to say this because of my status, I still want to remind you that it's not good for wealthy wives. Of course, you are a good girl and you should not live in such an environment."

After reading the message from Li He, Pei Jingchuan sneered and began to regret helping Li He get his salary back today.

He stood up irritably, poured himself a glass of water, and then suppressed his irritation.

He pursed his lips and wanted to reply to Jiang Yuzhu's message himself.

But he tried several times and couldn't open Jiang Yuzhu's phone.

Just when the phone was locked, Jiang Yuzhu came out of the bathroom.

Pei Jingchuan quickly sat aside and slid his fingertips across the screen.

Jiang Yuzhu sat on the sofa, then took a few sips of the water in front of Pei Jingchuan, turned to look at him, and chuckled, "Are you very hot? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead?"

"Is there any?" Pei Jingchuan raised his hand and wiped it, then made an excuse and said, "Maybe I just came back from outside and it's a little hot."

Jiang Yuzhu casually picked up the remote control nearby and turned down the temperature.

Then he picked up the phone and saw the countdown on the screen. His face suddenly darkened and he turned to look at Pei Jingchuan aside.

"Did you touch my phone?" His eyes were serious.

Pei Jingchuan swallowed, feeling guilty for no reason, and agreed, "Yeah."

Jiang Yuzhu leaned on the sofa, his eyes falling on Pei Jingchuan, his face expressionless.

She said quietly, "I don't like others touching my phone."
