Chapter 208 - 208: Wrecking the Scumbags, Really Called the Duke of Muston (2)
The flight Jiang Changning had booked was in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time.
“Miss Si!” Pei Yan greeted her excitedly. “Miss Si is truly amazing. The big orders we lost last week, the clients came back today and signed with us, expressing their utmost satisfaction with our proposal.”
In less than a day, the Pei family business had been revived from the brink.
“Congratulations,” Si Fuqing said as she sat down, her brows arching.
“Someone in your family wants me dead.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Yan’s legs went weak: “Who dares to be so bold? Miss Si, just say the word, and I’ll deal with them immediately! Is it Pei Xu?”
“It’s Pei Zhen, I believe that’s the name.” Si Fuqing opened a can of soda. “To make a move against me, they must have hired a curse master against you.”
“Pei Zhen?” Pei Yan was shocked. “Her?!”
Si Fuqing sipped on her coke. “What? You don’t believe it?”
“No, no, no,” Pei Yan shook his head. “I believe you, Miss Si, but I didn’t expect it to be her.”
Pei Zhen wasn’t actually a blood relative of the Pei family but the daughter of a deceased friend whom the elder Pei had adopted.
Pei Yan had always treated her well, no different from a real sister.
He had never imagined that Pei Zhen would be the one to betray them.
“No wonder,” Si Fuqing nodded, understanding after his explanation. “But it’s common for siblings in wealthy families to fight each other, so it’s not surprising.”
“I never imagined she’s been doing this for over a decade!” Pei Yan gritted his teeth. “The elder was still alive back then; how could she harbor such deep schemes?”
“She’s here, right?” Si Fuqing looked up. “Bring her here.”
“I’ll go right away,” Pei Yan left furiously.
Half an hour later, Pei Zhen arrived
Pei Yan had never imagined that such a beautiful appearance hid a malicious heart, wanting his entire family dead.
“Big brother,” Pei Zhen sounded concerned. “How’s the company doing? You called me over in such a hurry, do you need help with something?”
“How can you still have the face to ask?” Pei Yan’s face darkened. “Don’t you know what you’ve done?”
Pei Zhen was puzzled, “Big brother, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“There’s no need,” Si Fuqing interrupted. “Just have her take this.”
Seeing the old box containing a cursed item, Pei Zhen’s expression changed subtly but soon regained composure, “Miss, what do you mean by this?”
“I don’t care whether you recognize it or not, but I’ve modified this item,” Si Fuqing smiled. “Now it targets you, not Pei Mengzhi and his family .”
“You like playing with these kinds of things, right? Try it yourself.”
Hearing this, Pei Zhen’s expression finally changed completely, and her pupils constricted, “The Master of Yin-Yang is you?!”
The Master of Yin -Yang the curse master had referred to was a girl not even twen ty?
How could this be?
Pei Yan looked at Si Fuqing in shock, standing up abruptly, “Miss Si, you, you,
you… ”
“Sit down, be quiet,” Si Fuqing said calmly. Pei Yan sat down, his heart racing.
It made sense.
Apart from a Master of Yin-yang, who else could easily resolve such a curse?
“But if Miss Si is a Master of Yin-yang, then what about the Zuo family? Are they fools?”
“It was me,” Pei Zhen admitted, realizing she couldn’t hide it anymore. “A bird dies for food, a human for wealth. What’s wrong with what I did? The elder only left me real estate, which is enough for living, but shares are what truly matter.”
Pei Yan was deeply disappointed, “You finally admit it!”
“I never thought, Big Brother, that you could find a Master of Yin-yang, ” Pei
Zhen said, her nails digging into her palms, somewhat disoriented. “The Masters of Yin-Yang are supposed to be gone! If there are any, they’re in
Eastern Mulberry. How did you…’
If Si Fuqing hadn’t interfered, the Pei family business would have been hers!
Pei Zhen was filled with resentment, her eyes filled with viciousness.
“Don’t bother me with your family matters,” Si Fuqing wasn’t interested in hearing more. “I’m leaving. Solve this yourselves.”
Pei Yan quickly stood up, “We apologize for troubling you, Miss Si.”
Outside, in the garden, Mrs. Pei, holding onto the arm of the elder Grandma Pei, walked slowly over.
“Miss Si, thank you!” As soon as she saw Si Fuqing, Grandma Pei wanted to kneel, “If not for you, I really don’t know what would have become of our family..”
