Qi Zao Zao said calmly: "Xiao Bei, your uncle is a very powerful man, don't you know? Do you believe that your uncle knows?"
Qi Zaozao didn't say anything, nor did she point it out, just stopped there. But Pei Xiaobei was stunned when he heard it, and stared at Qi Zaozao without blinking.
"What's wrong?"
"Aunt, you like uncle very much, right? And you trust him very much because he is a very powerful man, right?"
"… "
Qi Zao Zao was stunned.
Do you like it
Do you believe it
My heart started to ache, and I didn’t know how to describe this feeling.
Facing Pei Xiaobei's hopeful eyes, Qi Zao Zao nodded. She didn't know why, but Pei Xiaobei was very happy when she nodded. "I'm going to eat. Has my aunt eaten yet? Can we eat together?"
When Qi Zaozao returned, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon. Qi Zaozao originally wanted to go home, but somehow she ended up under the company building where Pei Yifei worked.
From a distance, I saw quite a few reporters.
It seems that they all want to find out some information.
At this moment, a man came out of the building. He was a mixed-race man with a straight nose, deep eyes, and looked very three-dimensional from the side. When the reporters saw him, they immediately stepped forward to ask questions. Because the distance was a bit far and it was a bit chaotic, Qi Zao Zao didn't hear clearly. However, when she saw the man's side profile, Qi Zao Zao was stunned.
It seems like I have seen him somewhere before
Qi Zaozao couldn't remember where it was for a moment.
It was noisy over there, and Qi Zao Zao was also very annoyed, so she didn't stay any longer. She went to stop a taxi, but it was difficult to stop a taxi over here. It took her about a quarter of an hour to finally stop a taxi. Looking back, the people surrounded by reporters over there had disappeared. Those reporters were waiting for the next target, probably the company's senior management. Qi Zao Zao withdrew her gaze and got into the car.
The car had not driven far when she casually glanced and saw a familiar profile.
It’s the person from before.
"Master, please catch up with the car in front—"
When the man's car overtook the other car, Qi Zao Zao said without thinking, and she followed him as if possessed by a ghost.
The car kept driving, and after about twenty minutes, it changed lanes.
After changing lanes, Qi Zao Zao was a little stunned. Why did she feel that this road...
It seems like he is walking towards the community where Qi Lexue lives
Is she being too suspicious
Qi Zao Zao frowned, thinking of the day when Qi Lexue was talking to a man very intensely. That man...
The car was really heading towards Qi Lexue's neighborhood, and not long after, the car in front stopped, and Qi Zao Zao immediately said, "Master, slow down!"
After a while, a familiar figure walked out from the gate of the community, looked around before getting in the car, then quickly got in, rolled up all the windows, and then increased the speed a lot and drove away.
"Miss, how do we go? Should we continue to follow the car in front?"
"… "
"Miss?"
Qi Zao Zao suddenly woke up, "No, change direction..."
If I continue to follow, I will be discovered...
Qi Zaozao's brows furrowed more and more. What is the relationship between Qi Lexue and that man
Who is that man
She had many doubts in her mind.
…
Qi Lexue looked at the handsome An Cheng beside him, raised her eyebrows, and asked: "What are you going to do next? With just these few tricks, I don't think it will be that easy for you to bring down Pei Yifei, right?"
"Oh, what's the hurry?"
"It's not that I'm in such a hurry to do anything, but if you want to do it, do it all at once!"
An Cheng glanced at Qi Lexue and said, "Just worry about yourself first."
"I?"
"Were you seen by anyone when you were doing something last time? Have you solved the problem with the camera?"
"Of course, Paget saw it, but you know, she's lying in bed now."
An Cheng touched his chin, "In that case..."
"how?"
An Cheng smiled in an unpredictable way, "Just watch."
…
Less than two days after Pei Yifei was taken away, something happened in the Imperial Palace again.
It was said that a series of incidents involving pornography and drugs had occurred, and the jewelry incident had not been resolved yet, when something happened here again. By the time Qi knew about it early on, the Imperial Palace had already been investigated.
It's closed today.
Pei Yifei's industries have encountered problems one after another, and people in the industry have clearly felt that this time it is very likely that someone wants to target Pei Yifei.
The Imperial Palace is a high-end place. In the few years since its opening, many celebrities and bigwigs have come to the Imperial Palace for entertainment. Now that something like this has happened, it will probably take time to recover. These are the things that celebrities and public figures hate the most.
Pei Yifei's jewelry industry has also been at the forefront of fashion in recent years. Once the radiation jewelry incident happened, the impact was very large. It is very likely that someone was jealous or Pei Yifei's enemies wanted to punish him, so they created these things. In addition, it was recently reported that Pei Yifei's sister Pei Qiwei had a car accident and became a vegetable, which caused Pei Yifei to lose interest in work, etc. It is very likely that his opponents took advantage of the opportunity and framed him together with people inside the company.
The stock price continued to fall. After the news of Digong's involvement in pornography and drugs came out, a bigger thing came out from the United States. It was said that Pei Yifei had a project cooperation with a well-known international company. It had already been settled, but in the past few days, there was news again. All major news outlets were reporting that the company in the United States had changed its mind and had not yet signed the contract, so Pei Yifei would not get any compensation. The amount of money they invested was huge, and the company was in danger for a while.
Such things happened one after another, and Pei Yifei had not yet come out. Such a huge enterprise took more than ten years to build, but it gradually collapsed in such a short time.
Qi Zao Zao was watching the news on TV, his head was in a mess. Shen Xiaofei frowned tightly and couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to make it impossible for Pei Yifei to turn over this time?"
How is he going to turn the tide
Although they were not clear about the American project, anyone could tell from the news reports that Pei Yifei's company had invested a huge amount of money in this project, and this amount had seriously threatened the operation of Pei Yifei's company.
Shen Xiaofei remembered that when Pei Yifei lost his memory, he went to the United States. He learned from Pei Qiwei that the project in the United States was very important. Now, it's all bubble!
When Shen Xiaofei went to see Qi Zaozao, he saw that her eyes were dull and lifeless, staring straight ahead without blinking.
"Early?"
Shen Xiaofei called Qi Zaozao, but Qi Zaozao didn't respond at all. Shen Xiaofei got a little anxious and shook Qi Zaozao with his hands. She turned to look at Shen Xiaofei, but murmured, "Now, he must need someone to accompany him. I'm going to find him!"
Qi Zao Zao said this almost without thinking.
In fact, Qi Zaozao and Pei Yifei have one thing in common: they never say who needs whom.
No matter how much I think about it, I won't say it out loud easily, for fear that it will be too easy to say and end up in failure.
This is true whether it is the dazzling and arrogant Pei Yifei or the down-and-out and ordinary Qi Zaozao.
But at this moment, Qi knew early on that he already needed her very much.
He needs someone to be by his side and accompany him through days like this.
Shen Xiaofei was stunned. "Zao Zao, do you know what you are saying?"
Shen Xiaofei looked at her with a very complicated and strange look, but Qi Zaozao froze and widened her eyes.
When she said those words just now, it was completely her instinct, but at this moment, all her thoughts and reason were pulled back by Shen Xiaofei.
Shen Xiaofei raised his voice and repeated: "Do you know what you just said? Qi Zaozao!"
"Xiao Fei..." Qi Zao Zao looked at her.
Shen Xiaofei took a deep breath, "You can say these words in front of me, but you can't say them in front of Lin Mobai. You will hurt him, you know? He has done this for you, you can't let him down. He is not Ji Chengen, I don't want him to become the second Ji Chengen!"
"… "
Perhaps realizing that he was too excited, Shen Xiaofei slowly recovered, but still held her hand tightly, "It's good that you know those things, don't think too much, have you forgotten? You still have Xuanxuan and Lele, and Lin Mobai and I are with you..." Afraid that Qi Zao Zao would do something to hurt Lin Mobai, Shen Xiaofei added, "All this is your own choice. At the beginning, it was you who wanted to escape from him. Now that you have come to this point, you can't look back. You can't trample on your pride, Zao Zao, do you hear me?!" Saying this might be a bit harsh, there was also her selfishness in Shen Xiaofei's words. Unlike Ming Qianqian and those women who had entangled with Pei Yifei in the past, Shen Xiaofei had a good impression of Lin Mobai, but she would not think about getting him, or use any means to get him. She just wanted Zao Zao to not let Lin Mobai down, and didn't want to be entangled with Pei Yifei again. She thought this was the best and good for everyone.
"I know… "
Qi Zaozao's voice gradually became lighter, and the emotions in her eyes were hidden by her long eyelashes.
Shen Xiaofei took another deep breath, "It's good that you know it. Don't be impulsive and do stupid things. If I let you rush out of here today, everything will become unmanageable, you know?"
"Yes, I understand..."
Her heart ached.
Things were getting more and more serious. The whole city was in turmoil. Reports about Pei Yifei's company's problems could be heard everywhere. Xuanxuan and Lele were brought back by Lin Mobai. The two little guys hadn't even entered the house when the sound came in.
“Mommy!”
“Mommy!!!”
Xuanxuan and Lele rushed to Qi Zaozao. She stood up, a little stunned, "What's wrong?"
Lin Mobai glanced at Qi Zaozao with a strange expression.
"Mommy, was Daddy taken away by the police?" Lele asked anxiously.
Xuanxuan was also waiting for Qi Zaozao's answer.
Qi Zao Zao was stunned.
It was Shen Xiaofei who reacted first, "Xuanxuan, Lele, your daddy hasn't been arrested!"
"I heard it when I got home!" Lele said stubbornly.
Shen Xiaofei explained patiently, "Something went wrong with your dad's company, but it's not as serious as you think. Also, your mom has been feeling unwell lately. Don't just worry about your dad and not your mom."
"Really?" Xuanxuan looked at Qi Zaozao worriedly.
Qi Zaozao didn't say anything, and her smile was a little bitter.
"It's okay, your daddy is very powerful." Lin Mobai stepped forward and touched Lele and Xuanxuan's heads, but Lele avoided it a little. Neither Qi Zaozao nor Lin Mobai noticed it, only Shen Xiaofei saw it.
There is no way. Lele grew up with Pei Yifei since childhood, and this will not change.
Eh—
Although this was said to Lele and Xuanxuan, the two children were still a little worried and clamored to go see Pei Yifei. It was Qi Zaozao who spent a lot of time to convince the two children. It was too late and the two children had gone to bed. Only Shen Xiaofei, Qi Zaozao and Lin Mobai sat in the living room without saying a word. They were all silent.
Shen Xiaofei glanced at the two of them. Qi Zao was in a daze, and Lin Mobai seemed to be hesitant to speak. Because of Pei Yifei's matter, the progress of their wedding plan had also come to a halt. Although it was scheduled for the 8th of next month, Shen Xiaofei looked a little worried.
"Xiaofei—" Lin Mobai suddenly called Shen Xiaofei's name, and Shen Xiaofei naturally understood what he meant.
"I'll go wash up and get ready for bed." Shen Xiaofei went to the room, leaving Qi Zaozao and Lin Mobai in the living room.
Lin Mobai reached out and held Qi Zaozao's hand, "Are you still worried?"
His voice was very gentle. Qi Zao Zao looked up at him and didn't know what to say for a moment. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried. If he said he was worried...
"I won't let my imagination run wild. Our wedding day is on the 8th of next month. I've thought about it for a long time. Maybe I can help—"
Before he could finish his words, Qi Zao Zao suddenly shook his head and said, "Don't do this."
Lin Mobai was stunned.
Qi Zao Zao looked at him without blinking, "Lin Mobai, do you know? He won't accept it, nor will he allow it. He is such a proud person, he won't accept your help."
Qi Zaozao was right. If Lin Mobai went to help Pei Yifei, Pei Yifei would not accept it. He was such a proud person, how could he let his ex-wife's current boyfriend help him
Pei Yifei's pride would not allow it. Even if he was really down and out and failed, he would not accept it. Qi Zaozao understood him very well and she knew what he was thinking.
There was a hint of sadness in Lin Mobai's eyes. He didn't know why, but at that moment, he had a feeling that he could never get into her heart. That feeling could not be explained in just a few words.
As if sensing his sadness, Qi Zao Zao slowly said: "I am worried about him, very worried about him. I never thought this would happen, because Pei Yifei has always been strong, so strong that I thought he would never fall... Lin Mobai, I will not go back on my promise to you. During this time, let's both be quiet, okay?"
"Um."
Lin Mobai left, but Qi Zaozao couldn't fall asleep. Although they had just met last time, she felt like a long time had passed. Her heart was like a wild beast that was about to get out of control. She tried her best to suppress its outburst, but it was still looking for an opportunity to make a move.
At night, moonlight shone through the window. Qi Zao Zao covered his chest with his hands and breathed in big gulps, as if he could hardly breathe.
Time passed day by day. Although the media's attention was not as great as at the beginning, they continued to report on Pei Yifei's company.
After Qi opened the webpage early, he saw a piece of news about Pei Yifei's coming out. There was a photo of him on it. Pei Yifei in the photo looked a little haggard, with his head slightly tilted, and there were several bodyguards around him.
Qi Zaozao had been staring at the photo, as if she could never see enough. After looking at it for a long time, she finally reacted and stood up suddenly. By the time she came to her senses, Qi Zaozao had already arrived at the door of Pei Yifei's apartment.
She retreated for a moment, telling herself that maybe Pei Yifei was not at home, so she should go back.
But she didn't want to move away, her heart was beating faster, and she didn't know how much time had passed when a voice sounded behind her.
"What are you doing here?"
Qi Zao Zao suddenly turned around.
Then she saw Pei Yifei. His face was a little pale, his eyes were deep, and the look in his eyes when he stared at Qi Zaozao was a little scary. Qi Zaozao moved her feet, and Pei Yifei retracted his gaze, walked past her, pressed the password, and prepared to enter.
At this moment, Qi Zao Zao couldn't help but call out his name, "Pei Yifei—"
"Don't look at me with your sympathetic eyes. I, Pei Yifei, haven't failed to that extent."
Qi Zao Zao frowned, and when he was about to close the door, he suddenly said, "You are too sensitive, I don't sympathize with you!"
Pei Yifei turned his head, and Qi Zao Zao seemed to be out of breath for a moment, "I don't sympathize with you, you are just too sensitive!"
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I-"
Pei Yifei's eyes and expression were too cold. Such a cold look made Qi Zaozao's heart ache. She bit her lip and looked into Pei Yifei's eyes. "As your ex-wife, I'm here to tell you that I will be married on the eighth of next month.
