After exchanging a few pleasantries with Tang Kexin, Pei Qingcheng prepared to hang up for lunch.

After saying it again, Tang Kexin asked: "Qing Qing, can you tell me who injected funds into the Pei's? From what I know, very few people in the Mo City have such strength! "

Pei Qingcheng hesitated for a moment. On the other side, Tang Kexin immediately sensed something. "Oh, I'm sorry, oh, Qing Qing. Did I ask too many questions?"

"No, no!" Pei Qingcheng quickly said, "I'm not trying to hide it from you, I just don't know what to say."

She still remembered that back then when she married Ye Juan, it was Tang Kexin who encouraged her to follow her heart and oppose the people and matters she didn't like to the end. Only then did she run away from the Zhuang Sheng's Dream on the night of the wedding day, and Tang Kexin took her in and even accompanied her to Europe to play for twenty whole days.

Therefore, there shouldn't be any secrets between her and Tang Kexin.

Pei Qingcheng cleared her throat: "It's like this, I bumped into Ye Juan that day, then something happened to my Pei's, he agreed to help me."

"Ye Juan?" Tang Kexin's voice rose an octave as if she had lost control of herself: "How can it be Ye Juan?"

"Only he has that kind of power. But Xin, what's wrong with you? " Tang Kexin seemed to be very unsettled. Her tone even had changed a little. Pei Qingcheng asked in confusion.

"Oh, that's not it. At that time, you and Ye Juan were on completely different levels. I'm a bit surprised that he suddenly came to help you."

"If I didn't have no other choice, I wouldn't have come looking for him." Pei Qingcheng said faintly.

"Yeah." Tang Kexin seemed to still be immersed in the great shock of Ye Juan helping Pei's, as she muttered to herself.

As he was speaking, Secretary Huang knocked on the door. "Second Miss, someone is sending a formal dress over."

Pei Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, but when she thought about her date with Ye Juan, she did not feel her expression darken.

On the other side, Tang Kexin heard Secretary Huang's voice. "Dress, what dress?"

Oh, I promised to accompany Ye Juan to a private party tonight. But, I have a lot of things to do in the afternoon. Pei Qingcheng waved to Secretary Huang to bring the dress in and hung up.

Secretary Huang took the gown out from the box and shook it open. He exclaimed, "Wow! It's so beautiful! Second Miss, it must be very beautiful when you put it on."

Pei Qingcheng unenthusiastically glanced at it. It was a light lotus dress with a special design around the waist. A ring of sparkling pearls surrounded a pink gem.

The dress was beautiful, but Pei Qingcheng couldn't bring herself to be interested.

She was dressed to see what was in her heart and why she was dressed.

For Ye Juan, she would rather dress herself up to the point of making him nauseous.

She nodded slightly. "Put it there and order a meal for me."

"There's someone who looks like a housekeeper bringing you food." Secretary Huang pointed to the door, where the butler of Zhuang Sheng's Dream was standing with a lunchbox. He bowed towards Pei Qingcheng and said, "Madam, you must be hungry. The kitchen has prepared your favorite dishes, I hope they suit your appetite."

Under Secretary Huang's surprised gaze, the butler walked in and placed the lunchbox on the table, opening it as usual.

Four dishes and a soup, plus rice and dessert and fruit.

Pei Qingcheng had no choice but to thank him for his thoughtful preparations. "Thank you, Housekeeper Hu. I'm sorry to trouble you with this trip."

Housekeeper Hu was flattered: "This is what I should be doing. You should eat first, it won't be good if it gets cold."

Then he left the office.

Secretary Huang had a lot of questions, but he suppressed them and closed the door.

Ye's Group, a pyramid structure with the hallmark of Mo City.

Ye Juan's office was at the top of the pyramid.

Ye Juan was also eating four dishes and one soup.

Stir in cucumber blossoms, crystal meats, crab-powder tofu, steamed tiger spots, and a bamboo sunburst chicken soup.

Ye Juan's chopsticks drew a circle on each plate without stopping.

Ye Juan was a bit picky. He didn't like meat dishes and fish and shrimp.

"Master, madam's lunch at noon is the same as yours." Ding Hann stood to the side and explained in time.

Sure enough, it was still good for Madam. Ye Juan picked up a small piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

"Madam likes to eat steamed stone spots the most. This is the little stone spot that has just laid eggs, the meat is the softest, and this crab powder tofu definitely doesn't have any fishy taste. Please try it."

"When did you become a gourmet? Would you like to be transferred to the television station to host the Food Festival? " Ye Juan said so. He also tried a spoonful of crab bean curd.

Ding Hann narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Master, you eat. I will report to you."

"The man who did something to his wife that night met a private detective at the café before he went into the bar."

Ye Juan's chopsticks stopped in midair and he frowned. At the same time, his gaze turned cold.

"We've already investigated that private detective. There's definitely no place for him in Mo City. However, we saw a familiar name on the list of his regular contacts." Ding Hann whispered the name into Ye Juan's ear.

The chopsticks slammed on the table, causing Ding Hann to tremble in fear.

"Pay more attention to this person, don't alert the snake first." Ye Juan's gaze fell on a photo on the table.

In the photo, there were three people, and in the middle was Pei Qingcheng. She was smiling brilliantly, causing the sun and moon to lose their luster.

He lightly touched the person in the photo and muttered, "It doesn't matter if that person is the culprit or not, I can't let her hurt me a second time."

"Yes." Ding Hann received the order and went out. When he walked to the door, he remembered something: "Master, madam's dress has already been sent over."

"Yes."

"So, six o'clock in the afternoon, on time to pick up your wife?"

"Yes." There was still no temperature and his tone was extremely calm, but why did Ding Hann hear some anticipation in his voice?

Tonight was Ye Juan's private gathering, and the people at the banquet were all big shots in all areas of Mo City. On the surface, they wanted to bring Pei Qingcheng to get to know her, as it would benefit the business of Pei's in the future.

However, Ding Hann knew that Ye Zichen couldn't wait to bring his wife out to show off.

Pei Qingcheng had been busy the whole day. She was not familiar with the company's business, so she accepted it slowly. But Secretary Huang was very patient, explaining it to her bit by bit.

Unknowingly, it was already five o'clock. Secretary Huang looked at his watch and exclaimed, "Second Miss, don't you have any social meetups tonight? Hurry up and put on some makeup and change your clothes! "

Only then did Pei Qingcheng remember her date with Ye Juan and felt pressured.

She slowly changed her clothes. Just as she put on her clothes, the makeup artist was dressing Pei Qingcheng when her cell phone rang.

It was still from Tang Kexin. Pei Qingcheng lifted her face to get makeup from the makeup artist as she answered the call.

"Hey, be careful."

"Tilt!" Tang Kexin's voice sounded anxious. "Hurry up and save me!"

"Huh?" Pei Qingcheng was startled. She pushed away the makeup artist's hand and sat up on the chair. "What's wrong?"

"I'm back home, and someone stole my wallet and surname Li at the airport. I'm going to overturn it, come and pick me up!"

"How can this be? Then hurry up and call the police! "

"It's useless even if I call the police. Besides, the moment I call the police, the media will know about it. It will definitely go viral." What she said was also the truth. The Tang Clan could be considered a large household in Mo City, and there were media eyes everywhere.

"Oh, as long as you are fine. But, aren't you in England? Why are you back so soon?"

"When I called you in the morning, I was in Hong Kong trying to give you a surprise so I didn't tell you I was back."

"Oh."

"How about this, Qing Qing, you come and pick me up. Tonight, we will properly celebrate the revival of Pei's!"

"But, Ye Juan and I have an appointment tonight." Pei Qingcheng hesitated. "How about we wait for another day? Tell the driver to come and pick you up."

"But, my family's driver is out, and my brother's phone can't be reached. Then forget it, I'll think of something and see if I can find someone else to pick me up."

"You should have money in your phone. You can call a taxi."

"Don't, it's such a mess right now. What if I get a black car and drag me somewhere else? Today, I'm going somewhere and it can even be stolen at the airport. Who knows what might happen!" Tang Kexin sighed and then said considerately, "Aiya, Qing Qing, don't worry about me. Go back and busy yourself. I'll find someone else to try my luck with."

Pei Qingcheng looked at herself in the mirror. She was bright and beautiful, noble and generous. Was she really going to dress up to accompany someone she had only seen as an enemy yesterday?

She paused, as if she had made an important decision. "But, wait for me at the airport. I'll pick you up immediately!"

"Ah, Qing Qing, did I disturb you?"

"No, no, no, no one is more important than you."

Tang Kexin, who was on the other end of the phone, smiled. "Qingqing, you're so kind!"

After Pei Qingcheng hung up the phone, she went to the bathroom to change. Secretary Huang asked in surprise, "Second Miss, are you not able to attend the social meetup tonight?"

"I'm not going anymore." Pei Qingcheng passed Secretary Huang a business card. "Call the person at the top and tell them that I have matters to attend to tonight."

Secretary Huang looked down at the name card in his hand: "Ding Hann." As she read the name, she suddenly raised her head and asked in surprise, "This Ding Hann, is he with Chairman Ye?"

"Yes." Pei Qingcheng changed back into her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

"Then, did you go to the social meetup with Chairman Ye tonight?" Looking at Secretary Huang's radiant face, it was as if she was the one that was going to attend the banquet with Ye Juan.

Pei Qingcheng smiled faintly. "You can call him. I'll be leaving first."

She didn't know if she would be angry with Ye Juan if she asked him out, but the truth was, she didn't care if he was angry or not.

In her heart, Tang Kexin was far more important than him.

She rushed to the airport and saw Tang Kexin sitting on the steps.

She parked in the parking lot and hurried over to Tang Kexin.

"But the heart … is the heart!"

When Tang Kexin saw her, she ran over enthusiastically and gave her a big hug. "Tilt! You're finally here! I thought you weren't going to come anymore!"
