Chapter 134 We Are Not Cowards
Xu Nanyin looked calm as she walked to Pei Jingmo's side. She stretched out her hands towards the hand holding the golf club, and her slender white knuckles circled his wrist, massaging it skillfully.
Pei Jingmo's wrist was numb from the violent blow he had just made, but as she rubbed it, the pain gradually eased.
The cold expression between his brows disappeared immediately. He lowered his head to glance at her gentle, porcelain-white face, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Nanyin, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? Or are you just ignorant?" Qin Shuang asked in a higher voice.
Pei Jingmo's face darkened. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Nanyin spoke first, saying in a cold voice, "Aunt, when you say sensible and understanding, do you mean that even if I can't get justice, I should naturally put myself in a difficult position and do nothing with all my anger, just to make your family happy?"
"I'm sorry, we're not the type of cowardly, masochistic people we are."
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked directly at Qin Shuang. "Just because the needle didn't prick you, you can pretend not to see other people's pain? Aunt, if you were the one whose life was hanging by a thread last night, would you be able to 'be reasonable' and let it go?"
Qin Shuang was speechless for a moment and could only clench his hands and look at her hatefully.
Suddenly, it seemed as if he suddenly realized something: "No! Such a big thing happened last night, how come we didn't know about it? I think this is completely false! You two are colluding to put on a show, right? You want to use this to make the old house fall into your control..."
Pei Yuning immediately agreed: "That's right. Doesn't my cousin also have the ability and suspicion to cut off the power and surveillance? Maybe this is the thief crying thief..." Before he could finish his words, he met a cold gaze and stopped talking in fear.
Pei Jingmo's fair and clear face had no expression, but it was so cold that it was frightening.
Xu Nanyin just found it funny. This mother and daughter were desperate and started to confuse right and wrong. She looked hesitantly in the direction of Pei Yunjiang.
Pei Yunjiang saved her and was a witness, but if she told this, it might expose her sneaking out to play...
From the very beginning, Pei Yunjiang and her daughter stood quietly in the corner, keeping silent and not being affected.
"I can testify." Pei Yunjiang, dressed in a white dress, looked like a good girl with a soft and fair complexion. She suddenly stood up from behind Jiang Lei and said, "My cousin's wife was drowning last night. I happened to pass by and saved her."
Qin Shuang immediately refuted: "Yun Jiang, you have always been a good child, how come you were bribed by them?"
"Bribe? Aunt, how could you wrong me like this?"
Pei Yunjiang opened his innocent little eyes, the corners of his lips trembling, and he looked like he was about to cry.
Comparing her makeup with Sadako's bloody tears last night in her mind, Xu Nanyin twitched her eyes.
Qin Shuang asked, "Why are you going to the lake so late instead of staying in your room?"
"I was just wandering around, aunt, I'm telling the truth..."
Pei Yunjiang wanted to say something, but Jiang Lei suddenly grabbed her arm and said, "Second Uncle, Jing Mo, it's not convenient for me to get involved in this matter, so I won't comment."
Then he grabbed Pei Yunjiang and left.
Qin Shuang's family lost the confidence to quibble, and the farce ended under Pei Jingmo's strong leadership.
There was no original intention to convict Pei Zhuo. After all, the surveillance was gone, and Pei Zhuo did not leave any witnesses or physical evidence, so there was no way to deal with him.
So they beat Pei Zhuo, restricted his movements, and took the opportunity to surround the old house, which had achieved their goal.
The servants cleaned up the mess in the restaurant with trepidation.
Second Uncle, leaning on his cane, called Pei Zhuo to the study. He examined him for a moment with his cloudy eyes. "Ah Zhuo, you should know that I agreed to that little devil's harsh conditions not because I was old and confused, but because I wanted you to remember this lesson. If your move isn't clean and decisive, it's better not to move at all."
Pei Zhuo stood tall in front of the desk, looking handsome and clear-headed. "Grandpa, it really wasn't me."
Second Uncle frowned, his withered hands stroking the dragon carvings on his small-leaf red sandalwood cane. He sighed deeply, "Azhuo, at my age, I've finally realized I've become indifferent to everything. Forget it. Our family will stay in Wucheng, and let them take charge of the consortium."
Pei Zhuo said gently and politely, "Grandpa, I have always been doing my job well."
Second Uncle was stunned, a hint of disappointment and worry flashing in his eyes. "You even hide it from me, never revealing your true intentions. Ah Zhuo, it's all my fault for putting pressure on your father, and your father has been so strict with you since you were young..."
"Grandpa, you're worrying too much. If you're scared, just rest up. I'll ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of codfish porridge."
Pei Zhuo turned and left.
"Azhuo, please think carefully about what I said. I'm worried that one day you'll drive yourself into a dead end, okay?"
Pei Zhuo paused, turned around and looked at the old man's white-haired and earnest face. His clear and jade-like face was calm, and he walked out without looking back.
Dinner was still prepared by the Huaiyang cuisine chef specially assigned by Pei Jingmo.
After dinner, I went back to the bedroom.
Pei Jingmo sat on the sofa, Xu Nanyin rested her head on his legs, and he held a hot egg in his hand and gently rolled it on the mark on her neck.
The warm feeling irons the skin and is very comfortable.
He inserted his fingertips into her hair and gently combed it. His low, pleasant voice was filled with coldness: "Yinyin, don't worry, this matter is not over. I will make Pei Zhuo pay the price."
"Knock knock!"
"Mr. Pei, it's time to board the plane." Special Assistant Huang's voice came from outside the door.
Xu Nanyin wrapped her arms tightly around his waist and looked up at his deep and handsome profile. "Are you leaving now?"
"You're hugging me so tight, can't bear to let me go?" Pei Jingmo snorted and pinched her face.
Xu Nanyin pressed her whole face against his hard waist and abdomen and hummed in a muffled voice.
The next second, the whole person was picked up horizontally.
"Okay, let's go together."
Pei Jingmo held her and walked towards the door.
Xu Nanyin subconsciously hugged his neck and said, "Forget it, you will be back in two days anyway."
He rushed back overnight last night, without much rest, and worked hard all day. Now he has to rush back to Country F overnight to personally handle the finishing work... It's so tiring.
She wouldn't be able to help much if she went, and would only distract him.
Pei Jingmo twitched his lip nonchalantly, "You have to carry valuables with you. Besides, I rely on you to keep my heart beating, Xu Nanyin."
"How can I live without you?"
He acted casual and unserious, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her became increasingly dark and ardent.
Their eyes met, and Xu Nanyin's heart felt like it was being gently scratched by a feather, and the itchy feeling was accompanied by sweetness.
"Pei Jingmo, I hope you live a hundred years in peace." She gently placed her hand on his chest, feeling the strong heartbeat beneath her palm. "So I promise that I will always be well and stay by your side."
She stood up and kissed his face. "The old house is surrounded by your people. No one can do anything to me. Don't worry this time."
Taking advantage of his brief moment of distraction, she got out of his arms and opened the door, only to see Huang Liu leading a tall and strong man in black appear at the door.
"Madam, this is Ah Zhong. He will be fully responsible for your safety from now on."
Huang Liu said as she handed her A Zhong's resume.
Xu Nanyin was stunned for a moment, then took the resume and scanned it. Ah Zhong had been a mercenary leader in Continent F, a bodyguard for the president in Country K, and had swept through underground black boxing rings... a top-notch resume glittering with gold.
It's obvious that they paid a huge price to poach him.
She turned her head to look at Pei Jingmo, and he rubbed her head: "I feel relieved to have him guarding you."
"Mr. Pei, if you don't leave now you will miss your flight." Huang Liu reminded.
"boom!"
The door was closed.
Before Xu Nanyin could react, a big hand grabbed her waist and pressed her against the door panel.
Pei Jingmo's kisses fell heavily on her, and she was about to collapse. He then held her in his arms, his thin lips touching her fair and tender earlobe, and said softly in a low, hoarse voice, "Wife, wait for me to come back."
The next two days were peaceful.
The old house was surrounded by Pei Jingmo's men, and with A Zhong following her at all times, no one dared to stop Xu Nanyin from walking around the old house.
She did indeed walk around the old house, silently memorizing the terrain in her mind just in case.
That afternoon, she strolled to the courtyard behind the old house.
There is a patch of top-quality Podocarpus planted in the yard, and the layers of green leaves look majestic and magnificent.
"Madam." A Zhong suddenly looked sideways alertly.
Xu Nanyin turned her head and frowned.
Pei Zhuo, dressed in a suit and tie, walked slowly towards her as he shuttled between the tall and emerald green Podocarpus trees.
