What Should I Do if My Best Friend Is a Green Tea? [Transmigrated Into a Book] Chapter 48

Pei Yubai's pupils shook with shock.

Every word Yao Chi spoke was familiar to him, but when combined, he couldn’t understand them at all.

Zhou Qingyu wanted to break off their engagent?

What kind of joke was this?

Beside him, Old Man Pei and Pei's Father looked even more grim. Only Pei Hanli, with an expression that seed to relish the chaos, smiled and said to Yao Chi, "The engagent letter between Pei Yubai and the young lady is at the Pei residence. You'll need to co with us to retrieve it."

Yao Chi responded, "Of course, no problem. It's my duty."

He then turned to Old Man Pei, "Old Man Pei, what do you think?" Old Man Pei shot a displeased glance at Pei Hanli. Pei Hanli was now the CEO of the Pei family, and he was usually steady in major matters. But when it ca to Pei Yubai, he was ticulous and unforgiving.

Old Man Pei could understand, after all, Pei Yubai was a illegitimate child, and bringing him back to the Pei family was sothing they owed Pei Hanli.

Old Man Pei said, "Another day, I will personally have soone deliver the engagent letter to the Zhou family!"

"Why not today?" Yao Chi, ever the sly one, could turn black into white during legal debates. "Why wait for another day? Today is your birthday banquet, Old Man Pei. Our young lady even sent you a gift. Isn't it only right that you make her happy today as well?"

"Don't push your luck!"

Before Old Man Pei could respond, Pei's Father, standing beside him, was already fuming, his face turning as red as an eggplant.

Old Man Pei remained silent. He knew Yao Chi was a formidable lawyer, undefeated in court for five years.

If Zhou Qingyu had hired him to handle the engagent matter, it was clear she was determined to sever ties with the Pei family.

Old Man Pei sighed, "Once we return, I will have soone deliver the engagent letter to the Zhou residence."

Pei Yubai exclaid, "Grandfather!"

Pei's Father added, "Father!"

Old Man Pei barked sharply, "Enough! Aren’t you embarrassed enough already?" He didn’t even bother to look at them again, leaning on his cane as he got into the car. Yao Chi called out, "Thank you for your help, Old Man Pei!"

Old Man Pei drove off, leaving the parking lot of the Jinding Hotel eerily quiet.

Suddenly, a sharp "slap" echoed through the air.

Everyone turned to see a clear red mark on Pei Yubai's face, and Ye Luoyi, tears in her eyes, staring at him.

After hearing the conversation between Yao Chi and the Pei family, even if Ye Luoyi hadn’t understood before, she should have now.

"Pei Yubai, I’ve told you more than once, I won’t be the other woman! You clearly said there was nothing between you and Zhou Qingyu. How could you do this to ?" Ye Luoyi couldn’t believe it. Just recently, on a variety show, she had smugly confronted Zhou Qingyu, even telling Su Lingling that Zhou Qingyu was the one interfering in their relationship. But in reality, she was the true other woman!

She couldn’t imagine how Zhou Qingyu had looked at her back then.

"Yiyi, listen to , Zhou Qingyu and I are in a contractual marriage. There’s no real feelings between us…"

Pei Yubai urgently stepped forward, grabbing Ye Luoyi's hand.

Ye Luoyi pulled her hand away and, without hesitation, slapped him again. Now, Pei Yubai's cheeks bore two perfectly symtrical handprints.

"A contractual marriage is still a marriage! You disgust !"

Ye Luoyi fiercely shook off Pei Yubai, throwing her embroidered bag and everything in her hands at him before storming out of the parking lot without looking back.

Pei Yubai watched as everyone left, one by one, feeling utterly defeated and helpless. A surge of anger rose within him, his eyes red as he grabbed Yao Chi by the collar.

"What does Zhou Qingyu an by this? Breaking up just like that, calling off the engagent so casually? This is too much! She’s gone too far!" Yao Chi didn’t push Pei Yubai away. Even with soone gripping his collar, he still carried himself with an air of arrogance.

"You think the young lady is going too far?"

"Isn’t she?"

Pei Yubai still couldn’t believe that Zhou Qingyu was serious about breaking off their engagent. She had spent so much money on him, supporting the vast operations of Tianhui. The sunk costs were incalculable. And now, she was just casually ending it? Moreover, just a few days ago, everything had been fine between them!

If there was any conflict… it was only that evening when he had argued with Yan Xi!

"Just because… she thinks I intentionally hurt Yan Xi? But it was Yan Xi who set up!"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Yao Chi's eyes as he punched Pei Yubai squarely in the face. Pei Yubai staggered back a couple of steps. Yao Chi adjusted his flashy silver sequined tie, his peach-blossom eyes filled with mockery. "Want to know why? Go ask the young lady yourself!"

Blood seeped from the corner of Pei Yubai's mouth, tallic and pungent. He loosened his dark red tie, undid a few buttons of his shirt, and drove off toward the Zhou residence.

As night deepened, the streetlights blurred into streaks of light as they sped past.

The air inside the car felt suffocating, with only Pei Yubai's heavy breathing echoing in the confined space.

His phone rang, and through the Bluetooth-connected Ferrari speakers, Sun Qi's urgent voice ca through.

"Boss Pei! Sothing big has happened!"

Zhou Qingyu was breaking off their engagent. What could be bigger than that?

"You’re a director, stop panicking. What is it?"

"The Zhou Corporation has announced they’re ending their partnership with us. All endorsents and advertising contracts for our artists will not be renewed!"

A long, sharp screech of brakes followed as the expensive tires of the Ferrari left deep marks on the road.

Pei Yubai nearly slamd into the steering wheel due to the sudden stop, but the seatbelt yanked him back just in ti.

His voice trembled as he picked up the phone, "What do you an? Zhou Qingyu is taking back the resources she gave ?"

Sun Qi hesitated, "It seems… that’s the case."

Pei Yubai felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his face turning ashen.

"Even so…" he said bitterly, "it can’t be as serious as you’re making it out to be, right?"

"Boss Pei, it’s worse than you think!" Sun Qi's tone was grave. Zhou Qingyu had funneled a lot of resources into Tianhui. So were paid for by her, while others were from Zhou Corporation's products, which prioritized Tianhui for promotions. "The paid resources aside, the main issue is the Zhou Corporation's products. Zhou Yanci required us to sign quarterly contracts, so the endorsent periods were never long. Now that they’re canceling the partnership, many endorsents and ads are about to expire!"

Quarterly contracts were short-term arrangents, designed to allow the Zhou Corporation to cancel at any ti without paying penalties. With Zhou Qingyu around, renewing these contracts had been easy. But now, with the Zhou Corporation cutting ties entirely, those renewals were gone. The loss, when added up, was enormous. Ye Luoyi alone had seven endorsents with Zhou Corporation products!

Losing all of them at once would cripple Tianhui's cash flow! Pei Yubai slamd his fist on the steering wheel, the sharp honk of the horn echoing through the empty street.

Half an hour later, Pei Yubai arrived at the Zhou family’s old residence.

The security guards at the gate stopped him.

Zhou's Father had never been fond of Pei Yubai, and he rarely visited the old residence. The only ti he had been there was for Zhou Qingyu's birthday.

"I’m your young lady’s fiancé! I’ve been here before, don’t you rember?"

The security guard also recognized Pei Yubai. He had seen Pei Yubai driving a Ferrari to pick up Zhou Qingyu before, so he rembered him.

However—

“Sorry, the young miss said she’s busy today and doesn’t want to see anyone.”

“Am I just anyone? I’m her fiancé!” Pei Yubai roared, spraying spit all over the guard’s face.

The guard wiped his face in disgust. “Either way, it’s a no.”

Pei Yubai was furious. “Then go tell Zhou Qingyu that I’m here! She’ll definitely co out to see once she knows I’m here!”

The guard was growing impatient. “Young Master Pei, don’t you get it? The young miss doesn’t want to see you the most right now!”

Pei Yubai’s face turned pale, but he still refused to give up.

A Lamborghini slowly pulled up and parked in the small lot outside the old mansion. Pei Hanli stepped out of the car, holding a docunt. “Hello,” he said politely to the guard. “Could you please inform the young miss that Pei Hanli is here to see her?”

The guard’s attitude imdiately beca deferential. “Ah, Young Master Pei! Yao Chi just ntioned that you’d likely co today. The young miss is waiting for you. Please, co in!”

Pei Hanli strode forward confidently.

Pei Yubai grabbed his arm. “Why does he get to go in?”

Pei Hanli glanced at Pei Yubai, his smiling eyes filled with icy disdain. “Probably because I’m here to deliver the marriage contract on behalf of Grandfather?”

Pei Yubai’s face turned even paler. If the marriage contract was exchanged, his engagent to Zhou Qingyu would be null and void.

He muttered to himself, “Zhou Qingyu… is she serious?”

Pei Hanli shook off Pei Yubai’s hand. “Even now, you’re still holding onto hope?”

Pei Yubai didn’t think he was being delusional. Just this afternoon, Zhou Qingyu had been full of anticipation while trying on dresses at her ho. She had even been talking about their future marriage. It had only been a few hours since then—how could she be so determined to break off the engagent now?

The guard didn’t give Pei Yubai much ti to think. After escorting Pei Hanli inside, he turned back to Pei Yubai.

“Young Master Pei, stop making a scene. The young miss said that if you still refuse to leave, we’ll have to call the police.”

In the study, Pei Hanli handed the marriage contract to Zhou Qingyu.

The two contracts together were proof of the engagent between Zhou Qingyu and Pei Yubai. Zhou Qingyu remained silent as she picked up a sulfur-free match from her father’s cigar case and lit the two contracts on fire.

Pei Hanli’s eyes flickered with surprise before returning to their usual calm.

“It seems the young miss is serious.”

Zhou Qingyu watched as the flas danced, golden fire licking at the pages, slowly turning the deep red contracts into ash.

Though she still felt a pang of reluctance about the two years they had spent together, her expression was one of relief. “Of course,” Zhou Qingyu said.

For so reason, this made Pei Hanli laugh—a laugh even more carefree than Zhou Qingyu’s.

Footsteps echoed in the courtyard as Zhou Yanci returned to the old mansion.

After the birthday banquet, he had gone back to the Zhou Corporation to review so docunts, so he arrived later than Pei Hanli.

When Zhou Qingyu saw Zhou Yanci, her eyebrows lifted, her expression unreadable—neither happy nor annoyed.

Pei Hanli leaned in close to Zhou Qingyu and whispered, “Young miss, still thinking of competing with Zhou Yanci?”

“Of course!” Zhou Qingyu didn’t hide her ambition. She dread of beating Zhou Yanci.

“Without Pei Yubai, you still have . I can help you.”

Zhou Qingyu looked at Pei Hanli skeptically. “Aren’t you two good brothers? Are you joking with ?”

Pei Hanli smiled at her, his gaze steady. The distance between them was close but not intrusive.

“How could I be joking, young miss? I’m always serious about you.”

“Uncle Yu, see our guest out!”

Zhou Yanci’s eyes darkened as he quickly stepped forward, pulling Pei Hanli away from Zhou Qingyu.

Pei Hanli looked sowhat regretful but still bid Zhou Qingyu farewell politely. “Then, young miss, until next ti!”

“Young Master Pei, this way, please!”

The butler, Uncle Yu, escorted Pei Hanli out.

Zhou Qingyu crossed her arms, watching Pei Hanli leave before turning to Zhou Yanci with a mocking tone. “What? Worried that I’ll team up with Pei Hanli and you won’t be able to beat ?”

Zhou Yanci took a deep breath. “I thought you escaped one pit, only to fall into another?”

Zhou Qingyu was puzzled. “What do you an? You don’t think highly of Pei Hanli? Aren’t you two close?”

It was precisely because they were close that Zhou Yanci knew Pei Hanli all too well. Pei Yubai was openly bad—stupid and malicious.

But Pei Hanli? He appeared gentle and refined, but he was the kind of person who would devour you without spitting out the bones.

Zhou Yanci said, “You can’t outplay him. When he dealt with the traitors in the Pei family, he drove the entire family insane.”

Zhou Qingyu shrugged indifferently. “It can’t be worse than Pei Yubai.”

Zhou Yanci couldn’t argue with that. If he had to compare, Pei Hanli was at least soone he could still call a brother since he wouldn’t stab him in the back. But Pei Yubai? He was truly irredeemable. Still, what was the difference between two scoundrels born from the sa scoundrel father?

“Can’t you…” Zhou Yanci asked sincerely, “stop digging through the trash for boyfriends?”

Zhou Qingyu looked at him. “You’re overstepping, don’t you think? Besides, I have Yan Xi and Pei Hanli now. You’re dood. The Zhou Corporation will be mine sooner or later!”

Zhou Yanci sighed. Whatever. He couldn’t control Zhou Qingyu anyway.

The two walked into the main hall. The rosewood armchairs glowed softly under the light, exuding a tiless elegance. A couple of days ago, when Zhou Yanci had returned, Yan Xi had been sitting there waiting for him. But today, she was nowhere to be seen.

“Where’s Yan Xi?” Zhou Yanci asked Zhou Qingyu. “Weren’t you two together?”

Zhou Qingyu gave him a strange look. “You actually check social dia?”

But she didn’t dwell on it. “She went to Xingyao. I cut off the collaboration between Zhou Corporation and Tianhui, so all those endorsents are up for grabs. Yan Xi went to handle it.”

“Honestly, she’s still injured. Why is she rushing around at night? I brought her in as an intern, not to work her to the bone! She has a variety show to film tomorrow!”

At the luxury apartnt in Shuian Linde, Feng iyu was berating Pei Yubai without holding back.

“For the sake of that kind of woman, you’re giving up the young miss of the Zhou Corporation? Now Tianhui’s funds are about to dry up. Are you happy?”

Feng iyu had also called Zhou Qingyu earlier, only to find that Zhou Qingyu had blocked her number too.

She had sched for two whole years. Even if Pei Yubai and Zhou Qingyu didn’t end up marrying, as long as they made it through today’s birthday banquet, she would have secured 3% of the group’s shares! Now, the prize had slipped through her fingers, and Feng iyu felt like she was about to faint. Father and son—the older one couldn’t even outmaneuver his own eldest son, and the younger one couldn’t even keep a woman. Useless, the both of them.

“Mother, Zhou Qingyu must have been influenced by that friend of hers. She loved for two years. How could she just cut it off like that? She’s just angry. Let coax her, and she’ll co around soon!”

Feng iyu wasn’t soone who could be easily fooled. When it ca to manipulation, she was far more skilled than Pei Yubai.

“If she were just angry, would she have sent a lawyer to dissolve the engagent? If she were just angry, would she have pulled all of Tianhui’s resources? If she were just angry, would she refuse to see you at all?”

Feng iyu knew very well that a woman's disappointnt in a man accumulates over ti. There's just one breaking point. Before that, they can be lovey - dovey, and after that, she can turn a cold shoulder and act as if she doesn't know him at all.

She used to be the sa way towards Pei's Father.

She was imrsed in Pei's Father's lies again and again. He promised countless tis that he would get divorced and break up with Pei's Wife, but it all turned out to be in vain. She willingly gave up the carefree life of a mistress to work as a maid in the Pei family, hoping to take care of Pei Yubai and at the sa ti compete with Pei Hanli for the Pei family's property. She lost, but Pei Yubai couldn't.

"You have to understand that Zhou Qingyu is serious this ti. If you don't take any asures, you'll never get any help from the Zhou Corporation again!" These words from his mother finally made Pei Yubai feel the sense of crisis. Pei Yubai didn't love Zhou Qingyu, but he couldn't do without the help of the Zhou Corporation.

Pei Yubai lowered his head. "Qingyu is going to participate in a new variety show tomorrow. I'll go to the airport to see her off and try my best to win her heart back!"

Feng iyu nodded. "But that's not enough. You need to handle the matters of Tianhui. It's not convenient for you to go abroad, but you have to call Zhou Qingyu every day and care about her more! No matter how capricious and domineering she acts, you must always go along with her. Do you understand?"

Pei Yubai was reluctant but had no choice but to agree. "I understand." Feng iyu continued, "Your mistress will also go to the airport tomorrow, right?" Pei Yubai was stunned.

He knew that his mother was talking about Ye Luoyi.

"It's just having a mistress. I'm not ashad of it,"

Feng iyu wasn't ashad of it because she was also Pei's Father's mistress. "When you see Zhou Qingyu off, you must let her see Ye Luoyi. Only then will Zhou Qingyu be happy."

Pei Yubai's pupils suddenly shrank. "Mother!"

He originally thought that Zhou Qingyu would probably take a private jet, and even if he went to see her off tomorrow, he wouldn't run into Ye Luoyi.

He felt guilty towards Ye Luoyi. When he saw her leave sadly today, Pei Yubai felt as if his heart was breaking.

Pei Yubai shouted hoarsely, "Mother, I really like Yiyi!" "You must let her see!" Feng iyu ordered coldly. "Zhou Qingyu probably broke up with you because of her. You have to at least show on the surface that you don't care about that woman. Do you understand?"

Pei Yubai said, "But I..."

"Don't you want the Pei family and everything anymore?" Feng iyu looked at Pei Yubai seriously.

Pei Yubai struggled for a long ti, so long that he could even hear the sound of his heart tearing.

He didn't want to hurt Ye Luoyi, but he knew that he had no choice now. That night, the happiest person was probably Yan Xi. Yan Xi was still working overti at Xingyao late at night, but she didn't show any sign of being aggrieved like an ordinary office worker. Qiao Yan had listed a whole bunch of endorsent projects, which were products that could be endorsed by Xingyao artists after the Zhou Corporation terminated its cooperation with Tianhui.

Not only Yan Xi, but even Qiao Yan was on the verge of tears. "There are so many projects from the Zhou Corporation. Although the part managed by the eldest lady is just a small portion, it's still a big piece of cake for us! Our Xingyao artists can also experience being boosted!"

Yan Xi nodded like a bobble - head.

It made sense to let Xingyao artists endorse the resources from the Zhou Corporation.

However, these artists still needed to be screened. Not everyone was qualified. In the novel, when the Zhou Corporation went bankrupt, like birds scattering when the tree falls, many people turned against the Zhou Corporation. Such ungrateful people must be weeded out.

Xu Yangyang was one of them.

Yan Xi had a good mory. She pointed at Xu Yangyang's profile. "Sister Qiao Yan, I rember that when we participated in the variety show, the company transferred one million yuan to Xu Yangyang to make a travel plan. Now that it's going, should we get that money back?"

Qiao Yan almost forgot about this. "That money was transferred from the eldest lady's private account. Since the eldest lady didn't ntion it, we also forgot. I'll remind Xu Yangyang later." Yan Xi said, "Tell her that if she doesn't return the money, she won't get any endorsents."

Qiao Yan asked, "Will you give her an endorsent if she returns it?"

Yan Xi shrugged. "Just saying."

Qiao Yan laughed. Yan Xi looked innocent, but she had more tricks up her sleeve than they old - tirs.

While Qiao Yan was still organizing the list of endorsent projects, Yan Xi received a reminder from the system -

【Ding, by changing the plot of the birthday banquet, Zhou Qingyu has obtained 5 points of luck value.】【By canceling the engagent, Zhou Qingyu has obtained 5 points of luck value.】

【After the artists of Xingyao obtained so resources, the comprehensive settlent shows that Zhou Qingyu has obtained 5.3 points of luck value. Her current luck value is 47.2 points.】

Three reminders popped up in Yan Xi's mind one after another. It was the first ti Yan Xi had seen Zhou Qingyu obtain so much luck value.

Her eyes lit up, shining brightly.

【Host! The luck value has exceeded 45 points! Great!】 The little ball was jumping around. It used to be so hard to get even 0.1 point of luck value, but now it had increased by fifteen points directly. How cool was that!

"Wait!" Yan Xi noticed sothing. "The plot of the birthday banquet is a set plot. Once it's over, it can't be changed. Regarding canceling the engagent and the resources... What if after the 24 - hour experience card of Qingqing is over, these things might disappear?"

【It's possible!】

【If the two get engaged again, this part of the luck value will disappear.】【It's the sa for the resources. If the eldest lady gives the resources back to Tianhui, the luck value will also decrease!】

【Actually, the luck value can be deducted. It's just that since you awakened, you haven't let the eldest and second ladies suffer, so you've always been getting luck value. In fact, this thing can either increase or decrease.】

Yan Xi understood. "So, before the luck value reaches 60 points, we can't let Qingqing get engaged to that scumbag Pei again, and we can't let the resources go back to Tianhui, right?" The system replied, 【That's the idea... Wait, who is that scumbag Pei?】 Yan Xi said, "Pei Yubai, that son of a bitch."

The system: …

Yan Xi stroked her chin and thought. It would indeed be troubleso if there were still 30 points of luck value to go, but now there were less than 13 points left to reach 60 points. It wasn't a big problem! "By the way, I just heard Yao Chi say that Ye Luoyi slapped Pei Yubai outside Jinding Hotel today?"

【Yes, this slap is also in the novel!】

【Around two - thirds of the way through the novel, there will be a big conflict between the male and female leads. Announcing the marriage of the eldest lady and that scumbag Pei... Ah, I an Pei Yubai at the birthday banquet is a test for the relationship between the male and female leads!】

【Although the eldest lady has awakened, the male and female leads haven't. This part of the test still ca.】

"Oh," Yan Xi said thoughtfully. "I understand. This is the climax of the plot!"

【Bingo!】

"What if the male and female leads can't pass this test?" The system laughed and said, 【How is that possible? They are the male and female leads after all!】 A sly look flashed across the corner of Yan Xi's eyes. "The plot of the novel has been changed so much. Who knows?"

The system's expression instantly beca serious. Its round eyes slowly widened, and it even stamred a bit when speaking.

【N - No, it can't be, right?】

Yan Xi didn't know whether the male and female leads of the story could have a happy ending, nor did she care. It was already past eleven o'clock when she finished her work at Xingyao. There was no other way. Since there would be a variety show recording tomorrow, Yan Xi still wanted to get everything done as much as possible. Fortunately, people like Qiao Yan were capable. As long as Zhou Qingyu didn't cause trouble because of the plot's coercive force, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

When Yan Xi walked out of Xingyao, Zhou Qingyu called her just then. "Didn't I tell you to contact earlier so that I could send Little ng to pick you up?"

Yan Xi said, "It's so late. Little ng has probably gone to rest." Zhou Qingyu replied, "Then shall I co to pick you up?"

Yan Xi said, "No need! I'll just take a taxi."

Outside, it was pouring heavily. In the sumr in Linhai, thunderstorms were always particularly frequent.

Yan Xi opened the ride - hailing app and found that due to the long distance, there were more than eighty passengers in front of her in the queue.

After Qiao Yan finished her work, she drove out of the underground parking lot. She saw Yan Xi waiting for a taxi at the entrance of Xingyao.

She parked her little BMW beside Yan Xi and rolled down the window. "It's raining so hard. Where do you live? I'll give you a ride."

Yan Xi glanced at the words "Waiting ti: more than an hour" on the taxi - hailing app, and then looked at Qiao Yan's cute BMW sedan.

"Zhou's Old Mansion! Thank you so much!"

Qiao Yan's hand on the steering wheel stiffened, and she quickly locked the car doors. Yan Xi:???

Qiao Yan said, "… Just wait. Add so money, and you'll surely get a car." Yan Xi was furious: "Qiao Yan! Be a decent person!"

Qiao Yan laughed. "It's not that I don't want to help you. My ho is in the south of the city, while Zhou's Old Mansion is in the north. It'll take so much ti to go there and back, honey. Add so money, and you can do it!"

Yan Xi pouted. Actually, she didn't really expect Qiao Yan to help her.

The purpose of a ride - sharing is to give a lift on the way. Qiao Yan had said before that it only took half an hour to drive from her ho to Xingyao, while it took an hour from the old mansion to Xingyao. So even if Qiao Yan's ho was also in the north direction, Yan Xi felt embarrassed to ask her to send her ho. Yan Xi added so money and ordered the most luxurious car model. After waiting for another half an hour, there was only one passenger left in front of her in the queue.

She was overjoyed.

The rainwater from the eaves fell on the screen. Worried about missing the car, Yan Xi quickly wiped the phone screen.

With a slip of her hand, she accidentally clicked to cancel the waiting.

Yan Xi:???

The system burst into laughter: [Host! You're so unlucky! Hahaha!] Yan Xi...

"You're actually gloating? If I can't go ho, you can't either!" The system gave a sly smile: [But I'm in your head and don't need to go ho!] Yan Xi had no choice but to click to wait for a car again. Even for a luxury car, there were still more than a dozen passengers waiting in front of her.

Judging from the situation, she had to wait for nearly half an hour again.

What else could she do? Just wait.

Yan Xi's legs were sore, so she squatted at the entrance of the Xingyao office building.

The night was getting darker and darker. It was as if the sky had opened a sluice, and torrential rain was pouring down. The rain curtain was like a curtain, blurring the whole world.

In the hazy rain and fog, a pair of high - beams suddenly shone on Yan Xi. She couldn't open her eyes and blocked the light in front of her with her hand, squinting through her fingers.

A Rolls - Royce slowly drove towards her.

When the car stopped in front of Yan Xi, she was still in a daze. The window rolled down, and in the back seat was Zhou Yanci in a suit.

Yan Xi said, "Mr. Zhou? Why are you here?"

The driver in the front row was about to speak when Zhou Yanci gave a light cough and said, "I worked overti today. Qingyu said you hadn't gone ho yet and asked to give you a ride on my way." Yan Xi's eyes lit up and she jumped up happily.

"Okay! Great!"
