Chapter 529: Women are Fickle!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After bidding farewell to Liu, Dong Xiyou spent the entire afternoon leaning against her master’s office.
In the past few times she went to the office, her master seemed to be busy with planning. Occasionally, there would be staff members coming in and out of his office, and everything seemed to be normal.
Dong Xiyou did not know whether it was right or wrong to suspect her master, but she knew that she had to tell everything she saw to Su Ji. They would judge whether it was right or wrong. If her master did not do anything, Su Ji and the others would not accuse him.
However, the more Dong Xiyou tried to find out more about her master, the more she felt that her master was…not the person she knew…
Sigh, she didn’t know if it’s just a conspiracy theory.
Then, before she got off work, she took the opportunity to go to her master’s office for the last time.
This time, she realized that there was no one in the corridor.
There was a situation!
Dong Xiyou heaved a sigh of relief. This was her first time doing something like this, and it was quite exciting. She looked around and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her before she tiptoed toward the corridor.
Her ears were pressed against the office door, and her sweaty fingertips formed a small circle of mist on the door.
The office was not soundproof, so she heard some noises this time.
It was a foreign language.
She could only hear her master’s voice. She could tell that he was on the phone, and it should be with the ex-wife that Liu had mentioned..
Dong Xiyou could understand some of it.
She seemed to have heard her master mention a few words.
The custody rights, returning to their roots…something like that.
However, the other side obviously did not agree, saying that he was dreaming. However, her master’s att.i.tude was firm.
Later, Dong Xiyou even heard a very rare and ancient term that she didn’t understand.
However, this was the first time she had heard her master speak to others in such a cold tone.
She did not know if it was because her master did not have a good relationship with his ex-wife, or if it was for some other reason…
The scales in her heart began to tilt. It seemed that it was not just a conspiracy theory…
At this moment, the sound of a few people chatting suddenly came from the other end of the corridor. The corridor was connected in a T-shape, so they were only pa.s.sing by the intersection. However, Dong Xiyou was so engrossed in her thoughts that when she suddenly heard the sound, she turned around and accidentally kicked the door.
“Dong!”
The people in the corridor didn’t notice anything. They just pa.s.sed by, and their voices became softer and softer. However, it fell silent in the room.
The voice of his master on the phone stopped, and suddenly nothing could be heard.
Dong Xiyou slowly backed away from the door. She seemed to have realized something and quickly ran away.
Just as she disappeared into the corner, the door handle twisted and Zhou Zicheng opened the door.
He checked his left and right expressionlessly, his half-drooping eyelids exuding a chilling aura.
He did not see anything.
However, when he retracted his gaze, he glanced at the Swiss cheese plant beside the door. He noticed that the leaves were swaying… He was sure that he did not touch it when he opened the door.
Zhou Zicheng narrowed his eyes dangerously.
At the Pei residence.
Anna stroked Pei Yuanyang and chatted with the butler with a rare smile on her face. “It’s obviously a duck, but they call her a mandarin.”
The atmosphere was quite relaxed.
The butler smiled and nodded.
Although Miss Anna had only been here for the second day, she was already more cheerful than on the first day.
There was finally some movement upstairs.
The sound of footsteps could be heard as Sil Ti and Pei Hilai appeared at the
stairwell.
As soon as the two of them appeared, there seemed to be electricity in the air.
The two of them spoke as if no one was around.
Pei Huai gripped his car keys. “I’ll send you back.”
“No need. Uncle w.a.n.g is already outside.”
Anna looked at Su Ji. She looked the same as before, except that her hair was unusually fluffy and had just been washed.
Then, she looked at Pei Huai, and her gaze immediately focused on the side of his neck. There was a very obvious red mark extending from the collar of his shirt.
‘ Anna:
She immediately lowered her head. Because she was too nervous, she stroked
Pei Yuanyang at a faster speed.
“Kaka!”
Pei Yuanyang was about to catch on fire!
The two of them did not pay attention to them. Pei Huai sighed slightly. “Alright, I might go on a business trip in a few days.”
Su Yi looked at him. “For that project?”
‘You can come here anytime and let the chef cook what you want to eat.”
Su Yi raised her hand and turned around.
“Maybe.”
The Pei family’s chef could indeed cook better than Aunt Wu.
She walked towards the entrance with Pei Huai following behind her. When she reached the door, she raised her hand and pushed him inside. “Go back in.”
Pei Huai stopped where he was and watched her walk out of the door. His gaze moved to the French windows again. When she got into the car, he looked back uninterestedly.
Su Ji’s departure had taken away the spirit in his eyes.
Coincidentally, Du Meilan also came out of the room, holding a few doc.u.ments in her hand. After an afternoon, she had recovered and walked like a gust of wind.
For some reason, her mood seemed to be better.
She looked outside. “Has Su Ji left?”
Pei Huai nodded.
Du Meilan asked tentatively, “she doesn’t know that I…’
“She did.” Pei Huai did not hide anything. “You were too loud. She heard you.” Du Meilan:
She sighed. “Actually, I thought it through this afternoon. It’s just a project. It’s not worth it.”
Pei Huai raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Just like that?”
Du Meilan smiled and slapped the stack of doc.u.ments on her son’s chest. “I just sorted these out. As long as we get these, the Pei Corporation’s domestic KPIs next year should be twice as much as your father’s overseas KPIs!”
Pei Huai picked up the stack of doc.u.ments and pinched the thickness.
A few seconds later, he said, “1 think I’d better get the project.”
Du Meilan: “?”
Pei Huai returned to his room and talked to Shen Mu. “I’m going on a business trip the day after tomorrow.”
Du Meilan seemed to have thought of something and walked beside him. “You couldn’t have been persuaded by me, right? I have changed my mind now. That really won’t do. I can’t let my in-laws feel disappointed…’
Seeing that Pei Huai didn’t answer and was still typing on the phone, Du Meilan became even more anxious. She had previously advised him to do that, but now she didn’t want to.
Women were indeed fickle.
“Even if you’re not afraid of Su Ji misunderstanding, I’m still afraid that Madam Xu might! Don’t do this to me. Just reject them firmly!”
She pulled Pei Huai back. Pei Huai stopped and looked at her with a faint smile.
“Don’t worry.. I didn’t consider the method you mentioned before at all…”
