Chapter 699: Four Shadows of Rose (4)
At this time, in the VIP box of Mirage Club.
The crystal chandelier illuminated the box as bright as day.
Zhou Mingxuan shook the wine glass, and the amber liquid left a sticky mark on the wall of the glass.
"Old Xu, are you sure your idea is feasible?"
"Of course." Xu Yan smiled confidently, "Women love men's vulnerability after they get drunk. After not contacting each other for such a long time, it must be a success!"
Zhou Mingxuan's eyes swept across the empty wine bottle in the corner, "Two glasses of wine is enough to get you drunk?"
Xu Yan pushed away the female companion in his arms and smiled mysteriously: "Of course I changed the wine secretly."
He made a tipping gesture.
"Triple concentration of tequila would make even a god fall."
Zhou Mingxuan sat up straight abruptly, and the wine glass made a crisp sound as it hit the coffee table.
"Are you crazy?" He lowered his voice very low, "Brother Pei will come to you to settle the score later, I won't help you."
Just then, the door of the box was pushed open violently.
Su Yutang, wearing a red dress, stood at the door. Her eyes swept across the empty main seat, and her red lips were pursed into a straight line.
"Where's Pei Zhaoye?"
Her high heels made crisp sounds on the marble floor.
Zhou Mingxuan stood up, his smile a little forced: "Miss Su, what a rare guest."
Su Yutang raised his hand to interrupt: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Where is Pei Zhaoye? I have something urgent to find him."
Xu Yan said: "No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as what Pei is doing now."
Su Yutang looked at the two people who kept their mouths shut, laughed, and suddenly swung out a whip from behind his waist, splitting the wine table next to them in half.
Amid the sound of shattering glass, her voice was as cold as ice: "I came here today to discuss marriage with him. Since he is not here, I'll trouble you two to convey that the two families will discuss specific matters at Haiyan Pavilion at 8 o'clock tomorrow night."
Her eyes swept over the two stunned people.
"If I wait until after we get engaged to help hide it..."
The whip made a loud noise as it was swung in the air.
"This whip is about to fall on you two."
The two young men looked at each other and saw the same fear in each other's eyes.
Is this woman wielding a whip really the elegant and graceful eldest daughter of the Su family?
Xu Yan looked at Su Yutang's back as she turned and left, and murmured, "I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Su family had this side. She and Brother Pei are a good match. It's a pity that Brother Pei is now devoted to that Song Yuesheng."
"What a pity? Do you think Brother Pei will resist the marriage for an orphan?"
Zhou Mingxuan's eyes fell on the heavy rain outside the window, and his voice was almost inaudible, "For a family like ours, as long as we disobey the family's arrangements, there are many people who will take our place."
"Right."
After Xu Yan sent the message, he looked up and responded.
**
The sunlight poured in through the gaps in the curtains. Pei Zhaoye slowly opened his eyes, with a dull pain from a hangover still lingering on his forehead.
He knew that Xu Yan had changed the wine.
If he didn't want to drink, he would have pointed it out at the time.
But when facing someone you like, especially when the other person does not hide his or her pursuit of money.
It is better to be drowsy than to be awake.
It was a good bet last night, wasn't it?
He propped himself up and was about to get out of bed when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Pei Zhaoye."
Pei Zhaoye was stunned. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that his cell phone was placed neatly on the bedside table.
The screen is on and the recording interface is automatically replaying.
Song Yuesheng's voice was calm and clear, as if she was standing here and talking to him across the air.
"Is it fun to get caught in the rain? I told you to take a hot shower but you didn't listen, and you ended up with a fever of 39 degrees."
"I had to give you a hot bath, give you fever-reducing medicine, and take care of you all night."
Pei Zhaoye's ears suddenly felt burning, and some blurry images emerged uncontrollably in his mind.
The warm water, her slightly cool fingers, and the feeling of her helping me lie down in bed while I was drowsy...
The recording continues.
"If you still feel uncomfortable when you wake up, go to the hospital yourself."
"Actually, I was planning to wait for you to wake up and let you make it up to me, but..."
The next sentence made Pei Zhaoye's heart sink suddenly.
“When I put my phone down, I accidentally saw the message from Xu Yan.”
Her voice was still calm, but with a hint of distance.
"Since you have arranged a marriage, what happened last night should be treated as if it never happened. Please Pei Zhaoye? Leave and don't come to me again."
"I don't want to be dragged into the disputes of your wealthy families."
"If you really decide to stay with me—"
Her voice paused, as if she took a deep breath, "Please take care of these things first."
The recording stopped abruptly, then started over again from the beginning in a loop.
Pei Zhaoye's expression gradually turned colder.
He reached for his phone.
It's already past three in the afternoon.
Xu Yan sent the message at around twelve o'clock last night.
[Brother Pei, Su Yutang asked me to tell you that at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at Haiyan Pavilion, your two families will be discussing the details of the marriage.]
Pei Zhaoye's knuckles suddenly clenched, turning white, and he almost crushed the phone.
The next second, he dialed his father's number without hesitation.
"dad."
His voice was as cold as ice. "I didn't expect you were still thinking about marriage with the Su family. As I said before, the Pei family has more than one son. You should let your eldest brother marry. Only when he marries Su Yutang can he get what he wants."
There was an unhappy rebuke from the other end of the line, but he interrupted it directly.
"Have you forgotten that grandpa transferred his shares to me before he died?"
Pei Zhaoye sneered.
"You should know that in Pei's company, 2% of the shares are enough to shake the board of directors."
“And I have 10 percent.”
After hanging up the phone, he warned his mother in the same way.
After doing all this, Pei Zhaoye slowly loosened his numb fingers.
He didn't know what the future would be like, nor did he know how much freedom a 10% stake would buy him.
But at this moment, he knew very clearly——
He was unwilling to be separated from Song Yuesheng.
"Ha...yawn."
Song Yuesheng rubbed his sore eyes and walked out of the teaching building carrying a heavy textbook.
The early autumn sun made her eyes dizzy, and two consecutive professional classes almost stopped her brain from functioning.
If there was a sparrow spirit to help monitor, there would be no need for her to take care of Pei Zhaoye all night.
Today was another full day of classes starting at 8 a.m. She just wanted to skip to the end of the next class with one click, and then go home and collapse.
Song Yuesheng felt that since he came into this world, he had been going to class and going home every day.
She also asked the agent about the mission value, but the agent replied, "The host has no authority to know. The mission value will be announced at a specific time." That was all.
Ha ha.
I really took great pains to cut off all contact with her.
"No matter how you pretend, Pei Zhaoye will never marry you."
A cold female voice suddenly floated into my ears.
Song Yuesheng turned around suddenly and saw Su Yutang walking past her with his female companion's arm around her, talking about something with a smile, as if the words just now were just an illusion.
She stared at Su Yutang's receding back thoughtfully.
Pretend?
But Su Yutang's behavior was not that of a tasker.
Could it be that the Sparrow Spirit was right and that the two of them were carrying out their missions at different times?
In a world for her, the other party has completed a lot of tasks and has been upgraded?
"Xiao Song! What are you daydreaming about? You're going to be late for the next class!"
Her thoughts were interrupted by her companion's call.
Song Yuesheng responded and quickly followed.
When he returned home in the evening, he wanted to have a good sleep first, but Song Yuesheng was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The entrance to the apartment was piled with building materials, and several workers were coming in and out.
When I opened the door, a burnt smell hit me in the face.
In the kitchen, Pei Zhaoye was directing the workers to move the cabinets out. He turned around when he heard the noise, with some black ash on his face.
"You blew up my house?"
Song Yuesheng raised his eyebrows and glanced across the brand new kitchen.
Pei Zhaoye touched his nose uncomfortably: "No...I..."
"It's all your oven's fault." He pointed at the oven that was carried away by the master and said confidently, "I was just grilling shrimps, who knew it would explode."
“You made it with shrimp straight from the fridge?”
"correct."
Pei Zhaoye said it as it should be.
"In order to prevent you from having any accidents, I specially replaced everything in your kitchen with the best. I spent the whole afternoon on it."
He looked at her, raised his chin slightly, and his eyes were filled with the words "thank me quickly".
Song Yuesheng: ...
