C26 The Road Gave a Snarl

Meanwhile, the Business Department, was not a quiet place right now .

"Have you heard? The CEO is taking care of Ning Xia. She got off a luxurious car today. "

"I saw it but she kept denying it."

"That car … Why did I hear it was the car of the new President Pei, from the 66th floor,?"

"I think Ye Zi must know the inside story. She has the best relationship with Ning Xia and she was the one who spoke up for her this morning."

"She's pretty, maybe she's been a kept woman since long ago. "I think so."

"That's right, that's right. I think so too. Look, she's always wearing loose clothes. Maybe she's already pregnant!"

The discussion in the office only lasted for three to five minutes, but Ning Xia was already scolded to the extreme.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener does. Pei Shijie, who was passing by, slowed down his pace a lot, listening to every word that was said.

"Go ahead, call that Ye Zi to my office."

In the manager's office.

Ye Zi looked nervously at Manager Pei, who was sitting at his desk. She has always been a quiet and diligent worker, she shouldn't have made any mistakes, right?

"You're Ye Zi?"

Pei Shijie looked at Ye Zi who was standing in front of him, "Do you know Ning Xia?"

"I do."

Ye Zi didn't understand. Is this matter related to Ning Xia?

"The people say that she's been kept and raised by someone. "What do you think about this?"

Pei Shijie spoke with a vague tone, and looked at Ye Zi's expression without batting an eyelid.

Hearing his words, Ye Zi thought that the general manager wanted to fire her because of these rumors, and became anxious. She knew very well how hard Ning Xia worked to get to this point!

"General Manager, don't listen to the nonsense of those people, Ning Xia isn't like that. I was there the day she moved, me and Assistant Shen helped her, and she moved to an apartment near President Pei's home, to be closer to work. Those rumors are not true, please don't believe them."

Ye Zi was anxious to prove Ning Xia's innocence and she didn't notice the smile that flashed across Pei Shijie's lips.

The apartment near President Pei's home? This was for misleading ignorant people.

Let alone an apartment, there were no buildings within a few hundred miles of Pei Family Villa!

It seems that Ning Xia has already moved into Pei Family.

The speed of this development exceeded his expectations.

However, he didn't forget that Pei Yichen was also married with the Second Miss from Ning Family.

Pei Yichen has openly taken this little assistant. That Second Miss from Ning Family, as the main wife, does she know about this?

As for Ning Xia, does she know that she has been deceived by Pei Yichen and had stepped into someone else's marriage, becoming "the other woman"? Little San (the third party) is it?

This will be interesting, he will go to Pei Family for dinner tomorrow and wanted to see Pei Yichen setting his own backyard on fire.

Seeing that Pei Shijie wasn't speaking, Ye Zi became even more anxious, "Manager President Pei, what I said is the truth. Ning Xia really isn't that kind of person."

"Alright, I understand. I believe what you said. You can leave now."

Pei Shijie had his answer, so he didn't need her anymore.

Ye Zi was a little puzzled by his attitude. She didn't know how much he believed her, but she didn't want Ning Xia to have any problems at work because of these rumors. That's a serious issue.

But she couldn't say too much now. She could only walk out of the office, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

When she returned to the business department and saw those colleagues who were gossiping amongst themselves, her anger flared instantly. Now she must speak out!

"What nonsense are you talking about? You could drown people with your saliva. If you don't have evidence, you better don't spread rumors here. What's the difference between you and those online keyboard warriors? Do you know you could push people to death like this?"

She had always been a straightforward person, speaking in a loud voice, roaring and smacking the table, which instantly reduced to silence those gossiping women. They all knew she had a good relationship with Ning Xia, so they kept their mouths shut in front of her, but that didn't mean the problem disappeared.

She was so angry that she wanted to call Ning Xia right now and tell her to be more careful, but she hesitated when she thought about how Pei Shijie was involved in this matter.

"Forget it, I'll tell you at lunch!"

Feeling depressed, she hung up the phone and returned to her seat, keeping herself busy.

On the 66th floor, Ning Xia couldn't calm down.

She looked at Shen Heng in disbelief, "Say again, are you sure this is what President Pei said?"

Shen Heng looked at her awkwardly and nodded with reluctance.

Ning Xia clenched her teeth, glaring at Shen Heng. She walked briskly to the office and kicked the door open.

"Pei Yichen, don't you think you are a bit too self-centered? Who do you think I am?"

You think your life is not good if you don't have some green on your head?

He actually wanted her to accept Pei Shijie's invitation, that peacock strutting around with his tail spread. Did he forget that she is his wife, even if in name only!?

He wants her to play the wife having an illicit lover, does he really have the nerve?

Pei Yichen frowned slightly when she stormed in. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with her attitude.

Shen Heng, who was standing at the door, felt his scalp tingle. He silently reached out his hand to close the door, not wanting to hear their conversation. He was afraid that he will die young …

"Think of it as a work cooperation ."

These past days Pei Yichen has already figured out Ning Xia's temper. Normally, if it was something she could endure, she would agree to it cautiously. She would not outburst easily even if she felt wronged but, she responded better by being coaxed than being coerced.

Therefore, extremely patient, he explained to Ning Xia, "Don't worry, Pei Shijie thinks you are useful so he won't hurt you. However, I need you to give him the illusion that you've fallen in love with him so that we can move on to the next step."

When Ning Xia heard his explanation, the flames in her heart started to weaken.

"But, but I still don't want to meet him alone or anything like that. Didn't you know all about it last time?"

That gentle and pretentious look really made one want to vomit!

Pei Yichen smiled, thinking that to others, Pei Shijie's performance was clearly every woman's dream. They wouldn't wait one minute to throw themselves at him.

However, to Ning Xia, he was like an annoying bug that she had to avoid before it was too late.

Looks like she was a person who could see things more clearly.

"You don't need to do anything. Just don't show that disgusted expression and it will be fine."

It was rare for Pei Yichen to have such a good temper and explain things to her. He hoped that Ning Xia would cooperate more and not make mistakes. After all, it wasn't easy to find a chess piece that suited his taste.

"Fine, but you have to keep your word. Don't forget what you promised."

"Alright, it's a deal."

Pei Yichen smiled and reassured her.

Ning Xia had charged in belligerently. After he persuaded her for about a minute, she walked out with a calm expression. Shen Heng was so shocked that his jaw dropped …
