It was Friday night, and it was a bit rainy. Bai Tao wanted to have a good sleep early, but in the end, before she changed into her pajamas, she was called up by Sun Jing who came back from work to get off work. The two of them—
Knead the dough together
Bai Tao looked at the powder in her hand and began to doubt her life.
Sun Jing took it for granted: "I understand that you are in a bad mood because you met a scumbag, but sleeping is not good for curing depression. Baking buns and making food will make people happy and can vent the negative energy in their hearts..."
Bai Tao kneaded the dough while casually asking, "Aren't you working overtime? Isn't it the evening of the listing?"
"The listing process is going smoothly. President Pei seems to have something else to do tonight, so everyone is taking a normal day off tonight."
Your wife has run away and you still have to deal with love affairs
Although I ran away to cover my whereabouts and blocked all contact information of Pei Shi, but...
Damn, Pei Shi doesn't even look for his own? !
Divorce is inevitable, but Pei Shi's perfunctory attitude really makes Bai Tao very unhappy. Normal comics and romance novels say that even if you don't love someone, if you get used to someone for a long time and that person suddenly leaves, shouldn't you be worried for a few days
Pei Shi is such a rubbish, why not just focus on the IPO? After all, if he files for divorce after the IPO, the added value from the IPO will still be common property, and he can still get a share of the money! But Pei Shi didn't focus on the IPO, but focused on other things!
I actually have to wait behind in terms of listing and other things!
Bai Tao was absolutely furious.
She mistook the ball for Pei Shi, and while swinging it around making a ping-pong sound, she pretended to look at Sun Jing naturally.
"Jingjing, the company is about to go public, if Mr. Pei is not busy with the listing, what is he busy with?"
"I heard from a colleague in our operations department that President Pei is researching a dating app."
Okay, Pei Shi, you haven't divorced yet, are you more eager to find a second love than me? You've even started researching dating apps
Bai Tao was so angry that she beat the group to death. Sun Jing was right, baking could really help people vent the negative energy in their hearts.
, Bai Tao, stay calm and ask again.
"Jingjing, is President Pei in a bad mood recently? For example, he looks worried as if he has lost something important?"
Sun Jing didn't care: "No, why would Mr. Pei be in a bad mood? The company is about to go public, why should he be so proud? Besides, to be honest, can you tell whether Mr. Pei is in a bad mood? Doesn't he always have a poker face?"
Bai Tao coughed and tried to guide him: "Did Mr. Pei mention Teacher Bai Tao?"
"No." Sun Jing smiled. "Mr. Pei clearly distinguishes between public and private life. He never talks about his private life."
"… "
Bai Tao felt numb. She suddenly felt a little boring. She kneaded her belly into a ball, lay down on the bed, decided to go through the process and started crying.
Just as my emotions were brewing, my nose was starting to feel sore, and my brain hadn't yet approved the tears, Zhuang Yan's phone call came.
"Bai Tao, you, you come to my studio quickly!"
Bai Tao glanced at the time: "It's already this late in the evening? Are you serious?"
"The photos you took before were so good. I'm participating in a photography exhibition and would like to have more portraits of you as the model. Tonight is the deadline for submissions. You draw cartoons, so you're considered an artist. You know how I feel, right? It's urgent. Please come quickly. I'll take two more photos for you. Really, if you don't come, I'm afraid I'll be dead. Please, I'll never forget your kindness!"
Bai Tao put herself in Zhuang Yan's shoes and finally agreed to Zhuang Yan's request. After all, Zhuang Yan's voice on the phone was almost distorted with panic, as if he was being threatened with a knife. He really felt like he was about to die. Presumably, the photography competition was as important to him as his life!
Sun Jing was teasing Bai Tao's dog. As soon as the dog came here, it immediately rebelled and stuck to Sun Jing. Now Bai Tao seemed like a third party between the two of them. She said something to Sun Jing and then went out to get in the car.
He just hurried to Zhuang Yan's studio. Although the studio was brightly lit, there was no other employee inside. Zhuang Yan had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Bai Tao, he almost smiled and immediately welcomed her into the studio.
Just as Bai Tao stepped into the studio, Zhuang Yan ran to the door and locked it. He looked a little flustered, his eyes were evasive, and he was muttering to himself -
"I'm sorry, Bai Tao. You can't blame me for the situation. You should blame yourself for attracting too many people..."
No way
This... Could it be that Zhuang Yan wanted to commit a crime against himself in the middle of the night
Although it was normal for her to attract other people's attention because she was a little bit pretty, but Zhuang Yan actually didn't even abide by the socialist rule of law?!
It’s my fault that I’m too beautiful!
It’s my fault that I was too kind and trusted him!
Bai Tao tightly covered her condom and casually raised a flower pot: "Don't come over here! I'm screaming rape!"
But before Bai Tao could throw the flowerpot towards Zhuang Yan, someone came up from behind her and took the flowerpot from her hand.
Damn? There are accomplices
Bai Tao was about to turn around and attack the accomplice in anger, but the person behind her took a step forward, circled Bai Tao's waist, pulled her into his arms, and then leaned close to Bai Tao's ear and said in a low voice -
"I've got you."
The moment the eerie voice that made people obviously feel unhappy reached Bai Tao's ears, she recognized it.
It’s Pei Shi.
Damn, it’s Pei Shi.
His warm breath gently fanned Bai Tao's ears, causing her whole body to tremble.
Zhuang Yan quickly took the flower pot from Pei Shi: "Hey, this is new, please don't smash it." He said, looking at Bai Tao apologetically, "I'm sorry, Pei Shi said that if he didn't trick you out, he would kill me, I was forced to do this... I'm a little tired, I'll leave first! Goodbye! Feel free to visit the studio! If you need family planning products, there's a 24-hour convenience store downstairs!"
Zhuang Yan said this and slipped away.
Okay, at this moment, Bai Tao finally understood.
It turns out that Zhuang Yan set a trap for Pei Shi to catch me.
Pei Shi's voice was very calm, but he maintained the posture of restraining Bai Tao: "Bai Tao, let's talk."
Is this a negotiating posture? This is a threat!
"Let me go first!"
Pei Shi pursed his lips and said, "And then I asked you to hit me on the head with a flower pot?"
Bai Tao didn't want to look into Pei Shi's eyes. She avoided his gaze and said angrily, "There's nothing for you and I to discuss. You can talk to my lawyer about the divorce agreement..."
"No divorce." Pei Shi cut off Bai Tao's hand and said coldly, "Who told you that we want a divorce?"
This is a bit of a reversal!
"You still don't want a divorce? I know everything! Lawyer Jiao came to talk to you, and you agreed, didn't you? As long as it doesn't affect the listing, we can talk about it later?" When Bai Tao said this, she felt aggrieved. "Besides, Boss Pei is not allowed to show up at all during his free time. Isn't he already researching a dating app?"
"I didn't go on a blind date. I looked at the dating app because there was your photo on it."
Pei Shi still held Bai Tao tightly with one hand, and took out his phone with the other hand, flipping to the homepage of the dating app: "See for yourself."
When Bai Tao saw this, she was furious. Wasn't this a photo that Zhuang Yan had taken himself
"Zhuang Yan posted my photo here?"
"It's not Zhuang Yan. The computer of the photo editing staff in his studio was infected and all the client's photos were stolen."
It turned out that he thought I was on a dating website, so he came to blame me: "Why? I posted on a dating website, do you think you are shameless?" Bai Tao stared at Pei Shi and said, "Don't worry, I am not such an immoral person. Before I divorce you, we are still married and I will not cheat on you. I will post these photos after I get divorced and then look for a marriage partner."
"Bai Tao, I said, I don't want a divorce."
Pei Shi pursed his lips: "You can't divorce me."
Oh? Why
"Because you haven't completed the listing yet?"
"No, you shouldn't divorce me after the listing is completed." Pei Shi frowned slightly and spoke rationally as if analyzing an investment report, "There are mainly ten reasons: First, you need me. You are naive and don't understand the ways of the world. You have never suffered setbacks in the market. If you divorce me, without me to check on you, it will be easy for you to be cheated and lose both your money and your life."
Pei Shi is indeed a genius at analysis. He said fluently, "For example, in this case, I read the portrait rights use agreement signed between Zhuang Yan and you. You did not restrict his business scope in the terms, nor did you set compensation clauses for his breach of contract. More importantly, there was not even a confidentiality agreement. Fortunately, the photos you took were normal. If they were private, such a leak would be a disaster. However, because there is no liability for breach of contract and confidentiality agreement, the studio is given too many rights and too few obligations. It will be very difficult to protect rights in the future."
Pei Shi finished speaking in one breath and glanced at Bai Tao, looking quite natural. Then the man calmly concluded: "So, you need me. After the divorce, without me, you will be cheated."
What kind of bandit logic is this
Bai Tao was simply stunned: "Have I not been deceived by you and lost both my money and my life?" She stared at Pei Shi, "Our love is fake, it's all news releases. You didn't accompany me camping or watching the stars and the moon with me. All of this is made up by me..."
"some."
"What?"
Pei Shi pursed his lips and said, "I have camped and barbecued with you, flown kites with you, watched the stars and the moon with you, and flown kites with you. I learned how to make cakes for you and made cakes for you. I celebrated your birthday at the beach and set off fireworks. Although you wrote the draft when it was sent out, it is now a foregone conclusion. We have done everything we should and shouldn't have done."
The man said shamelessly, "It doesn't matter whether it was done first or later. It was done anyway, so the things in the news release can't be considered false." He glanced at Bai Tao and said, "If it's true, what's your reason for divorce?"
How come Bai Tao didn’t realize that Pei Shi was such a logical genius!
"I cheated on you! I don't love you anymore! Zhong Xiao and I are broken up!"
Bai Tao didn't want to face Pei Shi. She felt very confused and just wanted to get rid of this situation that made her uncontrollable and irritated.
Unfortunately, I didn’t expect that this wouldn’t work.
"You didn't." Pei Shi's voice was almost unbroken. "Not long after, Zhong Xiao came to me to plead for mercy and told me the whole story. Not only did you have no contact with him after marriage, but he also explained what happened before marriage."
Pei Shi looked at Bai Tao: "You have never been in love with him."
"You and I have never been in love! Did we get married because of love?" Bai Tao said angrily, "It doesn't matter if I haven't been in love with him. I can talk about it when I divorce you. Didn't you say it? Anyway, there is no difference between doing it first and doing it later!"
Pei Shi's face darkened, because he had no way to refute what Bai Tao said. At first, the two of them were just a marriage of convenience. But in the end, the man pursed his lips and added, as if unwilling to be outdone: "He is not as good as me."
Pei Shi's lips were slightly flat, showing obvious unhappiness, but he continued to analyze calmly: "It's better to talk to me than to him. He took advantage of your forgetfulness to deceive you and take advantage of your popularity. He doesn't act like a man at all. If you wanted to find someone to pretend to be your boyfriend, you shouldn't have come to me. You could have come to me directly..."
Pei Shi's tone when talking about Zhong Xiao was as if he was talking about a big piece of trash. The insult in his words was very obvious, as if he was making Zhong Xiao look like a very upright gentleman in comparison.
Bai Tao had always thought that she was relatively thick-skinned, but after this incident, she realized that she was really inferior to Pei Shi: "Tell me what's wrong with you?"
Pei Shiting was calm: "She looks better than Zhong Xiao, has a better figure than him, has a better education than him, is richer than him, is more tactful than him, is not pretentious or clingy, and has better abilities in all aspects than him." He glanced at Bai Tao, "I can make a list if you need it."
Bai Tao was simply amazed: "I think you are worse than him. At least he lied to me verbally and didn't cause me any actual loss. What about you? You even lied to me and slept with you! What kind of a jerk can you be?!"
"We're married." Pei Shi said calmly, "If I don't sleep with you, who should I go to?"
"And didn't you say that men should be thrown away when they are dirty? You made me dirty, and now you want to throw me away?"
"… "
Don't talk about such... such an indescribable topic in such a calm tone!
"But we got married by agreement! There is no love at all! You should at least have a spirit of contract. You should respect each other and keep your chastity when you get married by agreement! But you deceived me and seduced me before I got dressed... before I had a brain problem and misunderstood our relationship!" Bai Tao was so angry, "You are shameless and vulgar! You must have lured me into the trap!"
Pei Shi raised his eyelids: "You haven't remembered yet?"
Bai Tao stared at him: "What? Do you want me to remember everything? If I remember everything, your death will be even more uglier!"
"There's no need to remember the rest, but you still have to remember this one." Pei Shi paused, "Because it's actually the opposite. The first time, it was you who seduced me, and it was you who set a trap and soiled me."
"You drank too much, and then you forced me to drink." Pei Shi pursed his lips, "You were in front of me wearing very little clothes, looking at me with that kind of eyes, and even leaning against me."
If it was true, it was too shameful. Although Bai Tao didn't remember anything, she could still maintain her composure: "Are you the victim? You said that I was drunk, but when I poured you wine, were you drunk? Wouldn't you refuse? Pei Shi, you are an adult man. Even if I had bad intentions and wanted to rape you, you couldn't resist and escape, right? Now you want me to take the blame while I don't remember? Say that I seduced you? Don't you have self-control?"
Pei Shi glanced at Bai Tao and said calmly: "Bai Tao, I am a normal man."
so
"No normal man could hold back in that situation."
Okay... don't ask, because asking is a mistake that all men in the world will make.
Pei Shi was not afraid of death. He was clearly reminiscing, but the expression on this man's face was a bit aftertasteful: "You drank too much, and then you stripped in front of me."
“…” Bai Tao felt like she was about to ascend to heaven. Was she really playing so wildly
Pei Shi continued: "And judging from the expression on your face when you woke up the next morning, I don't think you can be considered a victim."
"… "
Bai Tao's face had turned red. She couldn't understand how someone could talk about such a topic so calmly.
Pei Shi seemed to think it was not enough and added: "You transferred money to me this morning and said that the customer had tested it and gave me a five-star review."
Your husband is a free duck? Why is he still paying money?!
"Why should I give you money? Why should you accept it?"
Pei Shi seemed to see the confusion in Bai Tao's heart, and he briefly explained: "You took fifty cents from me."
The man paused: "I think you might be trying to humiliate me."
"Did you take it then?"
"I received it."
Bai Tao put herself in that situation and felt so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground: "You still accept 50 cents?! Pei Shi, have you never seen money before?"
Pei Shi glanced at Bai Tao and said, "Why shouldn't I accept it? That's my legal income from work."
"… "
Yes, it’s really amazing what I get after working hard all night.
"Okay, even if it's like this the first time, what about after that? Is it all accidental? Is it all my fault?"
Pei Shi looked away and said calmly, "The second time was at the beach. I didn't do anything to you before that. This first time was just an accident."
OK, the first time was intentional, but what about the second time
"I didn't force you to drink at the beach. You were sober. What's wrong? Is it still my fault?"
Even at this time, Pei Shi was still quite calm. He glanced at Bai Tao and said, "Bai Tao, even though you didn't remember everything at first, you were still sober afterwards. After the car accident caused your cognitive deviation, I did follow your misleading and didn't correct it, but I didn't take advantage of you. I have avoided you a lot."
Pei Shi pursed his lips and said, "Every time you tempted me, I tried to restrain myself. I didn't do anything to you after you misled me in the beginning. After that incident at the beach, I did have many other opportunities, but I avoided them. For example, I always locked the door when sleeping. I would push you away at the critical moment and would rather take a cold shower to avoid making a big mistake."
"…" After listening to this, Bai Tao felt like she wanted to give Pei Shi a big award for being a role model of morality. "You've really worked hard."
Pei Shi glanced at Bai Tao. He was still quite thick-skinned. Even at this time, the man still responded calmly: "Well, there were a few times when it was really hard to endure."
He paused and added: "In fact, it is very harmful to the body." Pei Shi's lips were flat, "You are really resourceful sometimes."
Then you really paid a lot! You have the ability to endure! Do you deserve praise for enduring but then not being able to hold back? So the person who is wrong is actually me? Because I am too good at teasing
Bai Tao's eyes almost went dark. She felt that there was no way she could communicate with Pei Shi. Why didn't she realize that Pei Shi was so shameless and had the potential to be a negotiation expert
"In short, for the second time and all the subsequent times, I did try to avoid it at the beginning. There are many things that can indirectly prove that my subjective intention was not to take advantage of you. It was you who pursued me and I was a normal man. I couldn't stop you from treating me like that. For the first time, I can reasonably infer that you lured me to set a trap against me. If you don't believe me, I can recall all the details of that night. Maybe you will have some impression after listening to it. To be fair and objective, I may be more of a victim." Pei Shi pursed his lips, "Do you want to hear the details of that night? You were wearing only..."
"I don't want to! I don't want to! Shut up! Stop talking!" Bai Tao jumped up and covered Pei Shi's mouth without caring about anything else. "Stop talking! Aren't you ashamed?!"
Pei Shi said calmly, "I've done even more embarrassing things. What can't I say?"
Bai Tao glared at Pei Shi: "If you keep saying that, I'll sue you for spreading obscene, pornographic information!"
Pei Shi stopped spreading obscene and pornographic information. He pursed his lips and said as if to conclude: "Anyway, it's like this. I've been soiled by you. Divorce is impossible."
The man's beautiful brown eyes looked at Bai Tao calmly: "If you still want a divorce, I still have nine reasons left to tell you."
