102 Li Xiwu Knew Pei Jingzhou Was Injured
Yu Jing and Gao Yueban looked at each other. They smiled tacitly again and finally sat down with a calm expression. ππ«eππππnoπ―π¦π. cππΊ
The director nibbled on a roasted sweet potato and sat down beside Gao Yueban. βDirector Gao, arenβt you worried about your car?β
Gao Yueban snorted. βOnce President Pei makes a move, weβll know if itβs true or not. Why should I be worried?β
βPresident Pei?β The director suddenly stuck his head over at the mention of President Pei.
Gao Yueban pressed the directorβs head back. βWhy are you making a fuss?β
The director: βMiss Liβs husbandβs surname is Pei?β
Gao Yueban said, βMhm.β
The director was shocked. βMiss Liβs husbandβs surname is Pei?β
Gao Yueban glanced at the director. βWhatβs wrong?β
Yu Jing couldnβt stop laughing.
The director swallowed. βThe executive of R.Eβ¦ but R.E belongs to the Pei Corporation. Is it the Pei Iβm thinking about?β
It was Yu Jing who spoke. βOtherwise, would it be Bei?β
The director: ββ¦β
He seemed to have discovered some incredible secret? Holy shit! βIf Miss Liβs husbandβs surname is Peiβ¦β One second, the director was determined that this matter could not be settled. The next second, he changed his expression. βThen itβs fine.β
Gao Yueban reminded him, βDonβt bark so loudly every time.β
The director looked terrified. βNot to mention barking, I wonβt even dare to scream next time.β

Li Xiwu left in a hurry and did not have time to tell Han Qianye. She, who had always driven steadily, was accelerating on many stretches of road today. When the car arrived at the Pei Corporation Building, Li Xiwu got out and handed the car keys to the valet.
The valet must have not seen Li Xiwu for too long. He was stunned when he caught the car key. After being stunned for a few seconds, he quickly turned around and confirmed for a while before realizing that the lady boss had arrived!
The receptionist raised her standard smile and was about to ask about the appointment when the smile froze on her lips. She focused and looked. Damnβ¦ the lady boss?? The receptionist immediately smiled and shouted, βMrs. Pei!β
Li Xiwu raised her hand.
The receptionist immediately stopped talking and quickly walked out to lead the way. βMrs. Pei, this way.β
Li Xiwu said, βIβll go to President Peiβs office.β
The receptionist replied, βOkay, Iβll be rightββ
βWait a minute.β Li Xiwu stopped the receptionist. βYou donβt have to accompany me. Also, pretend you didnβt see me.β
The receptionist sensibly made a show of zipping up her mouth. She pursed her lips and nodded. Li Xiwu walked towards the elevator. The receptionist smiled and watched Li Xiwu enter the elevator before turning back to work.
However, as soon as she turned around, she was suddenly stopped by her colleague and asked, βYouβre nodding and bending your waist. Who was that just now?β
The receptionist exhaled. βLady boss.β
The colleague raised her eyebrows in surprise. βDamn! The lady boss who hasnβt come to the company once in eight hundred years. Why is she here today?β
The receptionist did not know whether to laugh or cry. βHow would I know? However, every time the lady boss comes to the company, President Pei will be in a particularly good mood that day.β
The colleague nodded seriously. βThatβs true. Iβve long heard that Mrs. Pei is President Peiβs candy. Heβll be in a good mood when he eats it.β
β
Li Xiwu took the presidentβs elevator to the 49th floor.
When she stepped out of the elevator, the presidentβs office was in front of her. As soon as she walked over, Wang Kaiheng, who was sitting behind the secretaryβs desk, suddenly stood up and shouted, βMrs. Pei!β
The sound was neither loud nor soft. Presumably the people in the office could hear it too. At this point, Li Xiwu asked calmly, βWhereβs President Pei?β
Secretary Wang swallowed silently and walked out from behind his desk. βPresident Pei is in the office, Mrs. Peiββ
βNo need.β Li Xiwu raised her lips. βIβll go by myself.β
Secretary Wang smiled and nodded. Li Xiwu stood at the office door, her hand on the handle. Just as she was about to press down, she turned to look at Secretary Wang behind her. Wang Kaiheng was secretly sending a message. When Li Xiwu turned around, he was so frightened that he immediately put away his phone.
Li Xiwu looked away and pressed the door handle. She opened the door and went in. Pei Jingzhou was nowhere to be seen in the clean office. This time, Li Xiwu did not sit and wait for him like before. This time, when she came in, she called out, βPei Jingzhou!β
There was some slight movement in the lounge. Li Xiwu walked into the lounge. Before she could approach, the door to the lounge opened and Pei Jingzhou came out. He wasnβt surprised to see her. βNo live broadcast today?β
βYes, but thereβs no hurry.β Li Xiwuβs gaze was like a ruler as she measured Pei Jingzhou inch by inch.
Pei Jingzhou naturally noticed her gaze and smiled. βAre you here to check on me?β
Li Xiwu walked up to him and said bluntly, βI already know about your injury.β
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyebrows. He knew Li Xiwuβs personality too well. With what she knew, fooling her was extremely childish. Fortunately, he had no intention of pretending to be confused. He undid his cufflinks, pulled his sleeve up, and revealed the gauze on his arm to her openly.
Li Xiwu: ββ¦β
When she saw the gauze on Pei Jingzhouβs arm, her breathing stopped for a moment. If he was only lightly bandaged, she wouldnβt have looked like this. However, the gauze on Pei Jingzhouβs arm started from his palm all the way to his arm. She was in a daze. Pei Jingzhou smiled and asked, βIs it enough to look at? Why donβt I take off my clothes and let you take a slow and careful look?β
Li Xiwu pursed her lips in anger.
Pei Jingzhou said, βIβm an injured person now. Scold me gently.β
Li Xiwu: ββ¦β
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words in the end. She wanted to reach out and touch his arm. But she didnβt know where to start. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. βIs the wound deep?β
Pei Jingzhou used his uninjured hand to pull Li Xiwu to the sofa and sit down. He didnβt answer her question and asked instead, βWhat do you want to drink?β
Li Xiwu asked, βDid you go to the hospital to take care of it?β
Pei Jingzhou poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Li Xiwu. βSpeak less and drink more water.β
The couple said their own things. None of it matched. Li Xiwu did not reach for the water. She frowned and stared at him angrily. The latterβs eyes softened as he smiled at her. βAre you angry, my wife?β
...
Li Xiwu said, βI donβt object to what you do, but you shouldnβt hurt yourself. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment by inflicting damage on the enemy while suffering?β
Pei Jingzhou said seriously, βWhen Iβm invincible for my wife, I feel a sense of accomplishment.β
Li Xiwu: ββ¦β
She took a deep breath and cut to the chase. βWhatβs Fourth Brotherβs next arrangement?β After a pause, she added, βI donβt want you to keep me out of this. After all, Iβm still your wife now.β
Pei Jingzhou smiled dotingly. βYou will be, too, in the future.β
Li Xiwuβs eyes trembled. βLetβs talk about serious matters first.β
Pei Jingzhou said, βIβve done everything you want to do. Is it serious?β
Li Xiwu was stunned. βDoes Fourth Brother know what I want to do?β
Pei Jingzhouβs gaze was glued to her. βOf course, I know. Thatβs why Iβll be the villain. You just have to stand at a high place and watch your plan come true step by step.β
Li Xiwu pursed her lips. βIs the evidence complete?β
βEvidence is the most troublesome thing. I prefer to deal with it directly.β Pei Jingzhou smiled. βBut this is your plan, so Iβve gathered all the evidence. Whatβs next for him is a trial.β
