Third Master, please restrain yourself. Our marriage is a marriage of convenience.

Pei Jinhe said expressionlessly, "What's it to you?"

Ji Yuyan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and said with a smug look, "I was just worried about my sister."

Pei Jinhe coldly curled her lips: "No need."

Are you concerned about her?

They were afraid she wouldn't die quickly enough.

"Once you marry into the Shen family, you'll be a wealthy lady, enjoying endless riches and honors." Ji Yuyan said to herself, seemingly mocking Pei Jinhe for marrying a tyrannical man rather than congratulating her on becoming a wealthy lady.

Pei Jinhe's voice was cold: "Knowing that I'm about to become a wealthy wife, you still dare to act all high and mighty in front of me."

Ji Yuyan's smile froze. She had wanted to see Pei Jinhe's miserable state, but instead of seeing it, Pei Jinhe became proud.

She scoffed and said sarcastically, "You're destined to be a wealthy wife, but I wonder if you'll live to enjoy it?"

Pei Jinhe's eyes flashed with a cold light. She grabbed Ji Yuyan's hair and pulled it hard in her direction.

"what!"

Ji Yuyan screamed in pain, not expecting Pei Jinhe to actually attack her. She roared angrily, "Pei Jinhe! Let me go!"

Pei Jinhe tugged at her hair and chuckled, "You think I'd just let go like that? Wouldn't that make me lose face?"

Ji Yuyan's scalp felt like it was being ripped off; she grimaced in pain, yelling, "Let me go! Otherwise, Mom and Dad won't let you off the hook!"

Pei Jinhe's clear, dark eyes fell on Ji Yuyan, her icy voice crackling with coldness: "Ji Yuyan, I'm busy. I don't have time to play such childish games with you. Don't push your luck!"

Ji Yuyan flinched.

How did Pei Jinhe, who was usually quiet and aloof at home, become like this?

Pei Jinhe released her hand in disgust and was about to leave when she heard someone calling her.

"Jinhe".

Pei Jinhe looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chu Yunyan walking towards her with a smile. The man was handsome and refined, like a young master from a noble family who had stepped out of a book.

Ji Yuyan clenched her fists.

This Pei Jinhe wasn't content with just seducing Brother Che, she was also having ambiguous relationships with other men.

Although Chu Yunyan was also a student at Peking University, he was three years older than Ji Yuyan. When she came to Peking University, Chu Yunyan had already started his internship.

Furthermore, since the Artificial Intelligence major and the Performing Arts department are not on the same campus, and Chu Yunyan is a low-key person, Ji Yuyan naturally did not know of his existence.

Chu Yunyan stood next to Pei Jinhe, looking at Ju Jiyu Yan with her disheveled hair, and asked, "And who is this?"

Pei Jinhe glanced at Ji Yuyan indifferently: "She's an insignificant person. Let's go."

Chu Yunyan nodded and left with Pei Jinhe.

Ji Yuyan rubbed her scalp, which was throbbing from being pulled, and was furious: "Stop pretending! Let's see how long you survive after marrying into the Shen family!"

Watching the two figures walk away, she secretly took a picture with her phone and sent it to Zhou Yuanche.

Then she sent another message: "Brother Che, he and my sister seem to get along quite well, could it be that...?"

She deliberately spoke ambiguously, leaving much to the imagination.

Although Pei Jinhe and Zhou Yuanche broke up, Zhou Yuanche's mood has been noticeably bad these past few days, and he's been quite irritable. Now that he's seen Pei Jinhe with another man in such an ambiguous relationship, he should finally give up on her.

Zhou Yuanche had been extremely busy with the chip issue these past few days, and when he heard his phone vibrate, he frowned impatiently.

He froze when he opened the photo Ji Yuyan sent.

In the photo, Pei Jinhe is walking side by side with a man.

The man was wearing a white trench coat, while Pei Jinhe's coat was off-white. At first glance, someone who didn't know better might think the two were wearing matching outfits.

The man was tall with long, straight legs. Standing next to him, Pei Jinhe, who was nearly 1.7 meters tall, appeared even more petite and delicate.

Even from behind, you can tell they're a perfect match.

A sharp pain shot through Zhou Yuanche's chest. His knuckles clenched so tightly around the phone that they turned white, and the edge of the phone dug into his palm, causing excruciating pain.

Did Pei Jinhe break up with him because of this man?

As soon as this thought arose, Zhou Yuanche felt anger, but even more so, discomfort and pain.

It felt like someone was holding a knife and stabbing his heart again and again.

Perhaps seeing that Zhou Yuanche hadn't replied yet, Ji Yuyan sent another message: [Brother Che, maybe I misunderstood. Please don't overthink it. My sister isn't that kind of person.]

Zhou Yuanche stared at the photo as if in self-torture.

He thought he didn't care, but then he saw photos of Pei Jinhe with other men.

Why does his heart ache so much?

It was as if someone had ripped a knife into his heart, causing him to lose what was most important to him.

Could it be that he has really fallen for Pei Jinhe?

Zhou Yuanche denied it.

impossible!

He could never like Pei Jinhe!

They got together because of a bet.

He must be angry because Pei Jinhe dumped him.

Correct!

That must be it!

Zhou Yuanche tapped the screen heavily with his fingertips: [Her affairs are none of my business. Don't send me anything related to her again!]

Upon seeing Zhou Yuanche's reply, Ji Yuyan revealed a smug smile.

Zhou Yuanche is hers; Pei Jinhe only deserves to marry Shen Huaiyu, that tyrannical man with a bad temper.

Ideally, she would be beaten to death by Shen Huaiyu a few days after marrying him.

Zhou Yuanche smoked one cigarette after another in frustration, and the ashtray in front of him was soon full of cigarette butts.

Pei Jinhe's image lingered in his mind.

The more you try to suppress it, the more agitated you become.

When the assistant pushed open the door, he was almost choked by the thick smell of smoke inside. He quickly finished his report: "President Zhou! President Zhou! The technical department is making no progress at all. If this continues, this project will be ruined."

Scientific research is inherently a very expensive project, and the Zhou Group has invested all the funds it can muster into this project. If it fails, it will definitely suffer a huge loss, and the Zhou Group itself will also be affected.

The Zhou family has more than just Zhou Yuanche as a child; Zhou's father's illegitimate son is eyeing the position of heir to the Zhou Group.

If this project loses money, Zhou's father might be disappointed in Zhou Yuanche. If the illegitimate son takes the opportunity to rise to power, where will Zhou Yuanche have a place to stay in the Zhou Group?

Zhou Yuanche was already incredibly irritable, and upon hearing this news, his anger flared up even more. He roared furiously, "Then go and spend money to find the relevant technical personnel! I refuse to believe that there isn't a single person in the world who can develop this chip!"

Upon receiving the reply, the assistant scrambled out of the office.

It's true that money is hard to earn and life is hard to live.

Working people are always the most unfortunate.
