“She even said that natural luck is true ability. Thinking about it now, it’s ridiculous! Even if the Xia family is fine now, how can she compare to the Pei Corporation?”
“Who does Miss Pei think she is? Let’s see who she is this time.”
“She was so arrogant and condescending previously. Even the real Miss Pei isn’t like her.”
“In my opinion, the most disgusting person should be Young Master Gu! He doesn’t want the eldest daughter of the Pei family who has been by his side for so many years. Instead, he chose Xia Yao for an investment. Most importantly, the Xia family has become like this! Hehe, some men are blind! They’ve lost a watermelon and picked up a sesame seed!”
These words pierced Gu Zeyan’s heart.
Compared to the Pei family’s status…
Xia Yao was incomparable.
“I’ve seen with my own eyes how Pei Yaochi served him all those years! She would retort from time to time and didn’t treat anyone well. It’s only because Miss Pei has a good temper!”
“Who doesn’t know that the two of them have been dating? Gu Zeyan even cheated on her and even had a child with Xia Yao. He even announced it at the entrance of the hospital. He’s really… a scumbag!”
“And Xia Yao. She knows that the two of them are a couple, but she still interfered!”
“There are scumbags every year, but there are especially many this year!”
The sarcastic comments came one after another. Gu Zeyan and Xia Yao’s expressions could no longer be described as ugly.
Regret and humiliation overwhelmed her. She wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Pei Yaochi looked at the two of them and felt a sense of comfort.
In the past, she had never been willing to be enemies with others. She would endure it if she could. There were some things that she would never do unless she had no choice.
Tonight was the only time in so many years that she felt carefree.
She had thought that she would be sad for a while after Gu Zeyan chose Xia Yao. But now, she realized that she didn’t feel much towards Gu Zeyan.
The only thing she felt was the shock in his eyes when he found out her identity.
Why was she shocked? Because her true identity was much more valuable than Xia Yao’s.
Actually, when she saw how hard he worked for the new drama and how frustrated he was to prepare the funds, she even thought of compromising with her family.
As long as she cried and begged, her parents would definitely dote on her. At the very least, she still had her cousin to coax her. He was annoyed by her and the money was just a matter of his fingers.
She was only one step away.
Before she did anything, he had abandoned her and chosen Xia Yao.
“Fortunately, I didn’t confess my identity to you so early.”
Pei Yaochi suddenly said calmly, “I’ve always wanted to rely on my own efforts to accomplish something with you. For you, I was even willing to abandon the good life I had. I thought I could get a clean and pure relationship. In the end…”
Pei Yaochi sneered and looked at Gu Zeyan sarcastically. “Thank you for teaching me a lesson and letting me know how cheap and untrustworthy your feelings are! The investment of a drama… will make you sell yourself!”
That sneer made Gu Zeyan feel even more embarrassed.
“I’ve never felt that I’m amazing just because I’m a member of the Pei family. It’s just that I have a better life than others. Things that others can only dream of are easily obtainable for me. Things that are too easy to obtain don’t seem to mean much to me. I feel that what I want has to be obtained through my own efforts and efforts. I have to thank you, Xia Yao…”
She shifted her gaze to Xia Yao’s face. “Thank you for telling me that natural luck is also a kind of ability. I think everyone wants to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. Hard work is a lifetime, and whatever I want is a lifetime. Thinking about it, I really don’t know what I was thinking previously. I didn’t enjoy the blessings and specially came out to suffer…”
“…”
“…”
Gu Zeyan and Xia Yao were speechless.
Pei Yaochi took a deep breath and said, “Miss Xia is pregnant now. I don’t want to agitate her again. Mr Gu, you should leave with Miss Xia. Otherwise, if anything happens, I’ll be blamed. I can take responsibility, but I’m afraid you can’t…”
Pei Yaochi’s face turned cold as she looked at the two of them coldly. “So… get lost! Get lost as far as possible. Aren’t you very capable, Xia Yao? Let’s see who’s more capable!”
Xia Yao’s expression changed and she snapped out of her trance. She looked at Pei Yaochi for a long time before sneering.
“You’re beating around the bush to compete with me? Why? You even have feelings for Gu Zeyan? You still can’t forget a man that I can snatch away so easily?”
Pei Yaochi sneered. “Fight with you because of him? You’re thinking too much. I just don’t like the two of you. What makes you think that he has betrayed me? You pointed at my nose and scolded me badly, so I have to smile magnanimously?”
Pei Yunze smirked. Although it was indeed embarrassing to argue with some despicable people, it was good to let them know that the Pei family was not easy to bully.
Gu Zeyan’s expression changed. Looking at Pei Yaochi’s beautiful and fair face, he was speechless.
Xia Yao’s face paled.
Those people were right. Not to mention that the Xia family was gone, even if the Xia family was still doing well, compared to the Pei family’s wealth, it was simply showing off in front of an expert.
Pei Yaochi wanted to mess with her, just like how she had messed with others previously.
Panic gripped her heart. As she shifted her gaze, she caught a glimpse of Shen Fanxing, who was smiling at her. She felt a chill run down her spine.
The only time she had a direct confrontation with Shen Fanxing, she had advised her to protect her position. Yuan Sichun had even told her that Shen Fanxing wanted to ban her.
At first, she found it funny, but now, she found it terrifying.
She couldn’t ban her directly, but she had to use Pei Yaochi to block her path.
No one in the entertainment industry was Pei Yaochi’s match.
Seeing that there were no longer any developments, Shen Fanxing spoke again and invited the celebrities who were attending the fashion week.
Including Ji Yi and Chu Yi.
Everyone’s attention gradually shifted to them. No one noticed the two of them anymore.
They didn’t even know when they left.
Shen Fanxing had to attend a banquet. As Pei Yaochi’s manager, Ye Qingqiu was introduced to Pei Yunze.
“I’ll have to trouble you with my cousin in the future.”
Ye Qingqiu smiled and said, “With you around, it shouldn’t be too troublesome.”
Pei Yaochi chuckled. “My brother is the one protecting me. Why do I feel like you’re the one being taken care of?”
“Of course I’m happy that you saved me the trouble,” Ye Qingqiu said honestly and raised her glass to Pei Yunze. “Boss Pei, please take care of me.”
As she spoke, her delicate eyebrows curved and her smile was faint. Her words sounded no different from usual, but her voice was naturally gentle and charming, as if she was seductive all the time.
Pei Yunze raised an eyebrow and his lips curled into a faint smile as he raised his glass.
“No problem.”
