Chapter 405: 405
Chen Wenzhou smiled briefly, “President Pei, are you joking? How am I threatening you? I’m just giving you a reminder. As a smart businessman, you know how to make choices that will maximize your interests.”
“How to maximize interests is not sothing President Chen needs to teach .”
“I’m focused on one thing, it was Chen Lingng answering the phone just now, how did it suddenly change to you? This is a private matter between her and , please return the phone to her, I have important matters to ask her.”
Chen Lingng wasn’t as cunning as Chen Wenzhou, making it difficult to extract useful information from him.
Chen Wenzhou coldly chuckled in refusal, “I’m really sorry, President Pei, my sister just rembered the incident from the day of the car accident, and her emotions have collapsed a bit. It’s not convenient for her to speak to you right now. If you’re free, you can co over to the Chen Family’s residence, and we can talk face-to-face.”
“These days, I’ve almost beco a regular visitor at the Chen Family,” Pei Yansi scoffed at himself.
“If President Pei cos now, the two of us can have dinner together.”
Since he had extended such an invitation, Pei Yansi naturally had no reason to refuse. This was his strategic ga with the Chen Family, and he couldn’t back down.
“In that case, I will respectfully comply.”
Pei Yansi hung up the phone with a cold face and fiercely threw the mobile phone onto the coffee table.
The phone screen shattered into countless pieces, spiderweb-like cracks sprawled across the surface.
After the call ended, Chen Lingng took a deep breath, feeling as though she had co back to life. She tightly grasped Chen Wenzhou’s hand.
“Brother, what should we do? Has Pei Yansi discovered sothing? He was just pressing about the day of the car accident,” Chen Lingng said anxiously, tears already pooling in her eyes. She felt almost broken.
Seeing Chen Lingng’s panicked deanor, Chen Wenzhou calmly furrowed his brow before gently patting her shoulder, trying to console her.
“ngng, your current state is not good for you. Pei Yansi clearly has his suspicions now. If we let him dig deeper, I’m afraid so things won’t stay hidden.”
Even under the Chen Family’s pressure, which led Pei Yansi and Shen Heyu to break up, and with Pei Yansi soon to be engaged to Chen Lingng, Chen Wenzhou had never underestimated Pei Yansi.
Who knew if that man was lying in wait, biding his ti?
“What should I do then? Brother, if Pei Yansi investigates the past, he’ll definitely not marry according to plan. He might even end up hating . I can’t have him hating .”
Chen Lingng’s words eventually turned into a choke, and her tears shed unrestrained, dripping like pearls.
Chen Wenzhou gently patted her shoulder again, “ngng, don’t be scared. You have and Grandpa at your back, we will always be your strongest support.”
“But concerning this matter which is not trivial, when Pei Yansi asks you about the car accident, just clutch your head and pretend to have a headache, and don’t tell him a word, understand? As long as he can’t dig up any information from you, he will give up starting from you.”
Chen Wenzhou had already told Chen Lingng to keep calm when facing Pei Yansi’s questioning, but reality proved she simply couldn’t do it. Her agitated state was full of flaws.
Since she couldn’t calm down, it might be better to let her go crazy; as long as the end result was the sa.
Chen Lingng nodded as if she understood, rembering the words Chen Wenzhou had told her.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Pei Yansi arrived at the Chen Family’s residence on ti.
Chen Wenzhou had soone invite him into the second-floor reception room, where a table full of dishes was laid out.
“President Pei’s arrival is just in ti; the kitchen has already prepared everything. How about we sit down for dinner and talk while we eat?” Chen Wenzhou’s expression was calm, and he politely gestured for him to sit down.
Pei Yansi wasn’t here to eat.
And who could be sure that nothing inappropriate had been added to these dishes?
He glanced skeptically at the table full of food. Chen Wenzhou certainly knew what he was suspicious about, but so things are better left unsaid.
“All these dishes are President Pei’s favorites. It was ng ng who told your preferences; she truly holds you dear and earnestly rembers your habits.”
After Chen Wenzhou sat down, he picked up so beef with his chopsticks and slowly chewed it, eating in front of Pei Yansi to show that the food was not poisoned.
Pei Yansi’s expression suddenly turned as cold as if it had been encased in ice, and even the temperature in the reception room seed to drop below zero.
“Today, I’m not here to discuss food with President Chen, so let’s not change the subject,” Pei Yansi said coldly to Chen Wenzhou, who managed to keep his composure as if nothing could unsettle him.
Chen Wenzhou leisurely finished chewing the beef in his mouth and then swallowed it. He gave Pei Yansi an apologetic smile but still avoided addressing the main issue.
“I’m really sorry, that beef took a bit longer to chew. What did you just say, President Pei? Could you please repeat it?”
This tactic was completely ineffective with Pei Yansi.
“The woman at the car accident scene wasn’t Chen Lingng, so she wasn’t injured at all, right?” Pei Yansi stated the matter directly.
If they insisted on moving the engagent day up to two days later, Pei Yansi wasn’t in the mood to play a ga of cat and mouse with them.
Although Chen Wenzhou was ntally prepared, his face visibly stiffened when he heard Pei Yansi calmly reveal the truth.
However, Chen Wenzhou quickly masked it with an exaggerated smile, attempting to appear nonchalant.
“President Pei, I don’t know where you heard this piece of information. All I can say is that my sister is disabled because of you. If you’re using such a preposterous excuse to call off the wedding with my sister, then the Chen family won’t just stand by.”
Chen Wenzhou dropped his pretense, his face adopting an exceptionally earnest look.
“You know the truth in your heart, and I have evidence in my hands. If the woman at the accident scene wasn’t my sister, then it proves she’s not disabled at all, and she can stand up.”
At these words, Chen Wenzhou’s hand tightened into a fist, almost subconsciously clenching the smartphone on the table.
“Pei Yansi!” Chen Wenzhou shouted his na angrily.
“It’s too much! My sister beca disabled because of you. She doesn’t bla you and is still willing to honestly marry you.”
“But not only do you not appreciate her kindness, you slander her like this. I can’t stand it.”
Pei Yansi coolly retorted, “If the truth is that you staged a whole drama and falsely accused , then the situation is different.”
“Brother Yan Si, how could you misunderstand like this…”
