Difficult Dogs

Chapter 26
"Your dad beat you?"

Shen Zhiyu walked around the study room, looking only at Pei Xu. She ran towards him without even looking at Pei Chen.

"It's a small injury, don't worry."

Pei Xu raised his hand and combed Shen Zhiyu's hair that had fallen on her face in a hurry.

The wound was covered with dark red scabs, adding a bit of sadness to the back of the hand with bulging veins.

Pei Xu took two steps and groaned despite the pain.

Shen Zhiyu quickly stabilized her position and said, "Why is it okay? I heard the sound even downstairs."

"Shall we go to the hospital?"

"No, I'll take you back first."

Pei Xu endured the pain. He turned his head and turned cold when he saw Pei Chen's gloating expression.

Pei Xu raised his brows provocatively, put his hand on Shen Zhiyu's waist, leaned against her ear, and comforted: "When we get to the car later, can you take a look at the injury? Is it really not that serious?"

Shen Zhiyu nodded fiercely, Pei Chen grunted, opened the door and left.

"I didn't hit him, so what kind of face was he showing?"

Shen Zhiyu muttered, thinking Pei Chen couldn't hear her words.

But not only did he hear it, he heard it clearly.

This is how the eldest lady does things. Putting aside relationships, she doesn't treat people as human beings.

Pei Chen's eyebrows were stern and sinister, his steps obviously stagnated, and then he quickened his steps, ignoring Zheng Ling's calls to him several times.

At Pei Xu's insistence, Shen Zhiyu sent Pei Xu back to the hotel.

"What's going on? How could Uncle Pei be so harsh?"

Pei Xu's trousers were rolled up, his knees were blue and purple, and his kneecaps were swollen, making him unable to do anything.

"I have some disagreements with my dad. Now that I think about it, Pei Chen... he did a pretty good job."

Pei Chen?What happened to Pei Chen here?
When Shen Zhiyu heard the name, she hesitated for a while and asked, "What's wrong with him? What does he, a sensual and voluptuous young man, know?"

"There was a problem with one of the Pei family's branches. I didn't recommend selling it. My dad didn't want to, so he asked Pei Chen to solve it. Not long after, the factory director jumped off the building." Pei Xu paused, "My dad blamed me, that's right. After all, it’s a human life, and if I didn’t stop it, nothing would happen.”

"Is Pei Chen..."

Shen Zhiyu received his gaze and remained silent again.

Pei Chen had her support when he was at the Shen family.

She never paid much attention to people who were looking for trouble. No matter how cruel Pei Shen was, she only had one request: don't beat people to death.

Pei Chen is now rebellious, and she also has problems.

She didn't want to instigate a relationship between him and Pei Chen. Although Brother Pei Xu was not very kind to Pei Chen before, he would occasionally take care of him. Maybe Pei Xu was already sad enough.

Or maybe, no matter what she says, Pei Chen's life will not be easy.

Her position and identity made her cautious and not to gossip.

But she had already determined in her heart that Pei Chen had done this on purpose. What was he afraid of?They dare to pester their future sister-in-law unscrupulously.

Shen Zhiyu was in a low mood and thought a lot along the way.

Drive to hotel.

He booked the presidential suite.

Surprisingly, I happened to bump into Ning Min who was working in the living room. She was dressed casually, with her hair spread over her shoulders. She was no longer neat and charming as she was at work, but more lazy and casual.

She had a green salad and red wine on hand.

I heard the door control beeping.

She immediately turned around and shouted softly: "Pei——"

The last word stuck in my throat and was swallowed hard.

There was a flash of strangeness and surprise in his eyes.

I didn’t expect to meet Shen Zhiyu.

She stood up immediately, looked away with a guilty conscience, lowered her head, hurriedly packed up the documents on the table, and shouted respectfully: "Mr. Pei, Miss Shen."

She seemed to find that the clothes were a little inappropriate, so she pulled down the hem of the pleated skirt, and fastened the large denim jacket on her upper body to cover the slim suspenders inside.

Ning Min felt terrified when she was stared at by Shen Zhiyu, and she made a few more awkward little moves. She pretended to be nonchalant and plucked the hair from her temples.

"Why is Secretary Ning here?"

Shen Zhiyu was annoyed for a moment, disapproving of such boundaryless behavior of her work partners.

She looked at Pei Xu and saw him parting his lips and saying: "Secretary Ning, the documents have been sorted out and sent to each director to send a copy." Pei Xu was very patient, and Shen Zhiyu's thoughts and thoughts were written on his face.

"I asked Ning Min to come and sort it out at short notice. If you mind, next time... there will be no next time."

Pei Xu is used to playing with women's hearts.

Shen Zhiyu, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed and judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, "I don't have any other intentions."

"Mr. Pei, things are sorted, I'm going back first."

Ning Min accidentally bumped into Shen Zhiyu when she was passing by. She was unprepared and Ning Min knocked her shoulder away. The force was not strong, but it was quite uncomfortable.

The discomfort was fleeting.

She took Ning Min's hand and said, "Shall we have dinner together? Secretary Ning?"

Shen Zhiyu was very annoyed, and many things had not been straightened out.

She tilted her head and looked coquettishly at Pei Xu: "Can I borrow your Secretary Ning?"

"Can I bring you food later?"

Shen Zhiyu hooked his little finger, raised her head and asked, her eyes sparkling, her thick natural eyelashes curling up and blinking, her coquettishness made people feel soft.

Even a man wouldn't disagree, she's too delicate.

Pei Xu nodded, patted her lower back, and told her not to go too far.

Shen Zhiyu turned around and went out. Ning Min followed behind and closed the door.

In her last glance before closing the door, she saw Pei Xu's warning eyes.

For a moment, my heart was pounding with fear, and I was about to jump out of my throat.

Ridiculously, she hasn't done anything yet, so she's just protecting her like this?Isn't it just for fun?

Ning Min had many emotions intertwined in her heart, but she put on a normal smile in a business-like manner. She slowly walked behind Shen Zhiyu and walked to the elevator. She quickly walked up and pressed the elevator button in advance.

Shen Zhiyu has never been a good person, but she feels that pretending to be good can avoid many complicated things, such as just now, such as meeting elders.

He is well-behaved and decent, watching what others do.

But first, this person has to be above her.

"Secretary Ning, can you eat spicy food?"

She remembered that Ning Min was from Nancheng, and Nancheng had a sweet tooth and did not like spicy food.

As early as when Pei Xu and Ning Min met for the first time, she found out clearly that she and Pei Xu were also alumni, in the same major but in different classes.

When I was studying abroad, I dated many boyfriends, and without exception they were all Pei Xu's brothers who were very good at playing.

She thought she was a social butterfly, but she was the real deal and couldn't be argued with.

She thought that this might be the reason why she could work next to Pei Xu.

"Not quite."

When Shen Zhiyu heard this answer, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "Not able means edible. I understood it correctly, right, Secretary Ning?"

"If Miss Shen understands it this way, that's okay."

Tsk, look at this art of speaking, it really doesn’t offend anyone.

She checked the ordering software and chose an authentic hot pot restaurant.

The one I ordered was extremely spicy, not the mandarin duck pot, but the red oil base of Jiugongge.

The place where the two of them sit is covered by a screen, providing a certain degree of privacy.

"What taboos does Miss Ning have?"

Shen Zhiyu ordered all her favorite foods and then passed the menu to Ning Min.

From Secretary Ning to Miss Ning, Ning Min's eyelids twitched. She wondered what kind of monster this young lady was, just because what she wore today didn't suit her.
Ning Min absentmindedly ordered some crisp and refreshing vegetables.

"Miss Ning really has a special liking for vegetables. This is what you ate in Brother Pei Xu's room just now."

Shen Zhiyu remained calm, resting her elbows on the table, holding her chin, and looked at her with a smile.

Like the girl next door, of course, this has to ignore the inquiry in her eyes and the aristocratic temperament she releases.

"Subliminal habits."

Ning Min frowned uncomfortably. She was now more sure that Shen Zhiyu was unhappy with her behavior today and was making fun of her.

"Habits can also change. Try this? They have been open for more than ten years and I come here often. Maybe you will change your taste after eating it?"

Shen Zhiyu gave her a piece of duck intestine with chopsticks.
