She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

The bodyguards, of course, wouldn't give up their high monthly salaries to help someone who had nothing to do with them, so they stood by and did nothing.

Pei Rongrong was in the middle of a heated argument with Meng Guo'er when she was suddenly covered in all sorts of random things.

After she screamed and dodged away, Meng Guo'er's friends pinned her to the ground with both hands. Some of them pulled her hair, and others tore at her clothes, all while cursing.

Pei Rongrong, who had initially been in the lead, was now being beaten to a pulp.

No one stepped forward; they were all just watching the spectacle.

Seeing that Pei Rongrong had been beaten up enough, Pei Tao gave a wink to his men.

"What are you doing? Let them go."

When Pei Tao's bodyguards stood there, their towering figures terrified Meng Guo'er's friends.

Those men grabbed the women by the hair with one hand each and dragged them backwards, throwing them to the ground.

But by then, Pei Rongrong had already been beaten black and blue. Pei Tao stepped forward and pulled Pei Rongrong into his arms.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I'm here to save you, aren't I? Don't worry, I'll get revenge for you. Hmm, you won't be pretty if you keep crying."

While coaxing Pei Rongrong, Pei Tao put his arm around her and walked out. Meng Guo'er, who had been knocked to the ground, saw stars and saw Pei Rongrong leaving with another man. Despite the pain, she took out her phone and took a picture of Pei Rongrong and Pei Tao's backs.

This fickle vixen still wants to enter the Meng family. She must tell Meng Yu about Pei Rongrong's affair with another man.

Let's see if she dares to be arrogant again. Meng Guo'er never expected Pei Rongrong to be so ruthless to her. All of her friends were lying on the ground in pain.

She will definitely get her revenge later.

Pei Rongrong was taken to a hotel by Pei Tao. Her eyes were so swollen from being beaten that she couldn't open them. Pei Tao wrapped ice in a towel and slowly applied it to her eyes.

"You mean Meng Yu has a 5-year-old son, or is he his ex-girlfriend's?"

Pei Tao pretended not to know that this news headline had actually been online for several days.

"Why would I still have any reason to be attached to a man like him?"

Pei Rongrong spoke through gritted teeth, her face contorted, it was unclear whether she was angry that Meng Yu's sister had hit her, or because of the pain.

"Keeping him around is pointless. Otherwise, you could marry me. We could just secretly get a marriage certificate without my dad and your mom finding out."

If Pei Tao had said those words before Huo Qingyue warned her, perhaps she really would have died. In a way, it would have been revenge against Meng Yu.

However, Pei Qingyue warned her that Pei Tao had ulterior motives and that he was only marrying her for Pei Hong's wealth, so she became more vigilant.

Although Pei Rongrong acts impulsively, she's not that stupid.

"Forget it. If my mom finds out, she'll kill me. And if your dad finds out, he might kick me out too. Then neither of us will survive."

Pei Rongrong's obvious rejection made Pei Tao look embarrassed.

"It's getting late. I should take you home so your mother doesn't find out we're together. Otherwise, she won't even acknowledge you as her daughter anymore."

Pei Tao's words were extremely sarcastic. Pei Rongrong clearly sensed the displeasure in his words, so she smiled and comforted him.

"Don't be angry. No matter who I marry, the result will be the same. I will still be with you, my dear brother. Don't you agree?"

Pei Tao snorted coldly, stood up, and threw the clothes at Pei Rongrong.

To be honest, he was willing to hang out with her at the bar before, but now that he's been beaten up and has a bruised and swollen face, Pei Tao has lost all interest in her.

But before leaving, he still pretended to be concerned.

"How are you going to explain the injury on your face when you go back?"

Pei Rongrong sneered.

"What's there to explain? Just tell the truth. My mom knows I'm out having fun. At most, I won't tell her I came out with you. I'll tell her it was Meng Yu's sister who hired someone to beat her up."

Since Huo Qingyue wants her to marry Meng Yu so badly, she can just ask him for more money if he really wants to marry her.

After her affair was exposed, Huo Qingyue became less generous with the living expenses she received, and even strictly forbade Pei Hong from sending her money. Pei Rongrong was furious.

Pei Tao curled his lips dismissively: "Whatever."

He had his bodyguards take Pei Rongrong to the Pei family's villa area and drop her off at the entrance.

When Pei Rongrong got home, Huo Qingyue was waiting for her in the living room. It was already past 2 a.m. Pei Rongrong thought Huo Qingyue had already gone to sleep, but when she stepped in, she saw Huo Qingyue sitting in the middle of the living room with a cold expression, which startled her.

Seeing her daughter return from her debauchery, Huo Qingyue was so disappointed in her that she swung her teacup and smashed it at Pei Rongrong's feet.

"You didn't listen to a word I said, did you? Where have you been gallivanting off to this time? Look at the state of your face."

Huo Qingyue, who had originally intended to curse Pei Rongrong, froze when she saw Pei Rongrong's face. All the curses she had prepared simply vanished in that instant.

After all, she was her own daughter, flesh and blood of her own flesh. It was heartbreaking to see Pei Rongrong beaten like this.

Pei Rongrong had been angry all night, and was beaten so badly that her whole body ached. When she got back, she was scolded by Huo Qingyue, and she finally snapped.

"All you do is yell at me. Have you ever cared about me? Have you ever asked me who hit me? You've never even thought about standing up for me."

Pei Rongrong cried so hard she could barely breathe, and slammed her bag onto the coffee table.

Huo Qingyue couldn't bring herself to say any words of blame, which was actually part of Pei Rongrong's plan.

She was afraid that Huo Qing would question her about whether she had gone out with Pei Tao, and that she might get away with the beating by pretending to be innocent.

Seeing her expression, Huo Qing couldn't help but soften his tone.

"Alright, alright, hurry upstairs, take a hot shower, and get a good night's sleep."

I'll have the family doctor come over tomorrow to take a look and apply some medicine. Don't let your dad see you like that.

Huo Qingyue couldn't help but sigh.

She was at her wits' end with this daughter. Her only regret was that she shouldn't have sent her abroad. After she came back, Pei Rongrong was like a completely different person.

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Pei Rongrong quickly nodded, grabbed her bag, and slipped upstairs. She slammed the door shut, and Pei Tao's message arrived just in time.

"Are you home yet? My little princess, have a good sleep. I'll take you out to play again when things calm down a bit."

Pei Rongrong looked at the text message and replied with a sweet feeling in her heart.

"You're just spouting useless nonsense. I'm ignoring you now, I'm going to sleep. If my mom finds my light still on, she'll definitely nag me again."

Pei Tao put away his phone, then hugged his temporary girlfriend whom he had just picked up at the bar and kissed her passionately.
