The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Half an hour later.

The black Maybach slowly drove into a private clubhouse in the city center.

This place is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, with tall walls blocking out the outside world. There is no sign at the entrance, only two simple and rustic stone lanterns.

As soon as the car came to a stop, a waiter in uniform came forward and opened the car door.

Chen Zhi got off the bus carrying his schoolbag and looked around.

Pavilions and towers, with flowing water.

"Let's go."

Pei Ningxue walked beside him, her voice very soft.

She looked a little nervous, her hands gripping the straps of her backpack tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white.

Clearly, she was filled with unease about the upcoming meal.

Chen Zhi didn't care.

After passing through a winding corridor, the two were led into a private room called "Listening to the Waves".

The private room was very large and decorated in an extremely luxurious manner.

A huge mahogany round table is placed in the center, large enough to accommodate twenty people at the same time.

At this moment, only one person was sitting at the huge table.

Pei Dongcheng.

He changed into casual clothes, but the oppressive feeling of being in a high position for so long was still strong.

Upon seeing the two enter, Pei Dongcheng put down his teacup.

His gaze passed over Pei Ningxue and landed directly on Chen Zhi.

Examine.

To explore.

A trace of hostility has not completely dissipated.

"sit."

Pei Dongcheng was extremely sparing with his words.

Pei Ningxue stiffened for a moment, and subconsciously moved to the place furthest away from her father.

Chen Zhi grabbed her arm.

Under Pei Dongcheng's slightly surprised gaze, Chen Zhi casually pulled out the chair opposite Pei Dongcheng and plopped down in it.

Then he patted the spot next to him, gesturing for Pei Ningxue to sit there.

Hello, Uncle.

Chen Zhi tossed his backpack onto the chair next to him, grinning broadly. "This place is nice, isn't it? It must be hard to find. I was wondering why the navigation wouldn't let me find it."

Pei Dongcheng's eyes twitched as he looked at this unpredictable young man.

Normal high school students, upon seeing such a scene and facing a business tycoon like him, would at least feel uneasy and apprehensive, if not trembling with fear.

But what about Chen Zhi?

His posture was so relaxed, as if he were back at home on his own kang (heated brick bed).

"Chen Zhi, right?"

Pei Dongcheng didn't respond to his words, but tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "You gave me a big surprise at school just now."

"It's not exactly a surprise."

Chen Zhi picked up a hot towel from the table and wiped his hands slowly and deliberately. "It's mainly because I can't stand people throwing money at others. Although I like money too, there are some things that money can't buy."

Pei Dongcheng sneered.

One million.

He stared into Chen Zhi's eyes. "An ordinary high school student, casually pulling out a million-yuan cash card. Do your parents know?"

He was one of the most privileged people in society and quickly verified the authenticity of the deposit.

But this is precisely what he can't understand the most.

He had someone investigate Chen Zhi's background.

Both parents are ordinary wage earners. The father works at a company, and the mother is also an ordinary employee. The family's financial situation can only be described as having enough to eat and wear.

The source of this million is unknown.

Pei Ningxue also looked at Chen Zhi nervously.

She also wanted to know the answer.

Chen Zhi put down the towel, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

"Da Hong Pao? The flavor is a bit bland."

He clicked his tongue in disgust before looking at Pei Dongcheng with an innocent expression.

"This is my New Year's money, I've been saving it for over ten years, is there a problem?"

"..."

Pei Dongcheng almost laughed out of anger.

New Year's money?

Do you give 100,000 yuan in New Year's money a year?

"If you're unwilling to tell the truth, I'm too lazy to ask."

Pei Dongcheng waved his hand, signaling to the waiter that the food could be served.

Since this kid wants to act mysterious, let him act mysterious.

Soon, one exquisite dish after another was served.

Australian lobster, abalone, and shark fin are all hearty dishes.

Chen Zhi's eyes lit up.

He was really hungry.

"Since we're having a meal, I won't stand on ceremony."

Chen Zhi picked up his chopsticks, precisely picked up a piece of the fattest lobster meat, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Nodding as she chewed, "Hmm, this is good, cooked just right. Ningxue, try this."

As he spoke, he very naturally used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece for Pei Ningxue.

Pei Ningxue looked at the lobster meat in the bowl, then at her expressionless father, and hesitated for a moment whether she should pick up her chopsticks or not.

At the Pei family's dining table, it is customary not to speak while eating or sleeping.

She absolutely dared not eat before her father picked up his chopsticks.

"Eat up, what are you standing there for?"

Seeing that she wasn't moving, Chen urged her, "Your dad paid for this, so you might as well eat it. If you don't eat, it would be such a waste to throw away this whole table of food; that would be a crime."

Pei Dongcheng frowned as he watched Chen Zhi wolf down his food.

Is this kid really stupid or just pretending?

Can't he feel the aura emanating from himself?

"Chen Zhi".

Pei Dongcheng suddenly spoke, interrupting Chen Zhi's meal.

Do you consider yourself and Ningxue to be from the same world?

Why is it that phrase again?

Chen Zhi swallowed the food in his mouth, then pulled out a tissue and elegantly wiped his mouth.

He raised his head, looked at Pei Dongcheng, and revealed a mockery that was completely out of character for his age.

"Uncle Pei."

"It's 2015 now, not the Qing Dynasty."

"Go back three generations, whose family didn't start out as peasants?"

Chen Zhi pointed to the table full of delicacies.

"You can afford these things now because you're lucky and caught the wave of the times."

"And me."

Chen Zhi paused, leaned forward slightly, and his dark eyes gleamed.

"I am the next big thing."

The private room fell silent instantly.

You could hear a pin drop.

Pei Dongcheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

arrogant.

That's utterly arrogant!

Where does this kid get his confidence?

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Chen Zhi's phone suddenly rang.

The notification sound, indicating special attention, sounded particularly jarring in the quiet private room.

Chen Zhi answered the call without even looking at it.

Lin Wanwan's somewhat awkward voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey, Chen Zhi."

"Have you finished eating?"

"Little White says it's hungry and wants to eat the noodles you made."

Chen Zhi's originally fierce aura collapsed instantly.

He glanced at the table full of delicacies, then at Pei Dongcheng across from him, whose face was ashen.

"It'll be here soon."

Chen Zhi gently coaxed into the phone, "It's just finishing up. I'll go back and make it for it right away."

hang up the phone.

Chen Zhi stood up and put his schoolbag back on.

"Uncle Pei, thank you for your hospitality."

"I have some urgent business at home. My dog ​​is about to give birth, and I need to go back to see if it's a male or a female."

After saying that, he turned and walked out without waiting for Pei Dongcheng's reaction.

As he reached the door, he paused, turning back to look at Pei Ningxue, who was still sitting blankly in the chair.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Planning to stay and wash dishes?"

Pei Ningxue seemed to awaken from a dream.

She glanced at her father.

Pei Dongcheng remained silent.

Pei Ningxue gritted her teeth, grabbed her schoolbag, and quickly caught up with that arrogant figure.

The door to the private room was closed.

Pei Dongcheng was left alone, facing a table full of expensive dishes that had barely been touched, and fell into deep self-doubt.

Just who is this kid?
