C18 You Btch!

Pei Xinxiao took a deep breath and looked up at him. "You're so good to me, but I don't deserve it. I have nothing to give you in return, so I can't accept."

"Isn't this a great opportunity? With it, you can confidently step into the Pei Group and make those who hurt you pay," he said, his voice calm yet filled with a unique warmth, trying to persuade her.

"You're a businessman. You always expect something in return for what you give, and I have nothing to offer you. So, I refuse."

"You know what I want. If you can't give it to me now, then I'll wait."

She was the mother of his child, his wife, and the most important person in his life. The money and effort didn't matter to him.

Xinxiao gave a bitter smile. "You can't wait forever because that's a lifetime."

Some mistakes only need to happen once, and she didn't want to repeat them.

"Even if it takes a lifetime, I'll wait."

His tone was so firm that it left Xinxiao stunned, turning back to face him.

"I, Shen Yunsheng, have chosen you. No one can make me let go."

His words left Xinxiao completely flustered, yet her heart was filled with an indescribable sweetness and emotion. Could someone like her still have this?

"Xinxiao, I'll stand by you without hesitation," he added.

Right now, Shen Yunsheng was the only one willing to help her, and he wasn't forcing her to agree to anything. She should accept.

After thinking it over, she nodded in agreement.

On Tuesday morning, Pei Xinxiao had an important shareholders' meeting to attend. She woke up early to prepare, applied a light touch of makeup—something she rarely did—and dressed in a smart blazer and pencil skirt, looking bright and captivating.

Gazing at her confident reflection in the mirror, Xinxiao encouraged herself, "You can do this. For your brother, you have to give it your all."

As she entered the conference room, Zheng Siya, who was busy preparing her speech, froze in surprise. With an air of arrogance, she strutted over to Xinxiao.

"Xinxiao, did you wander into the wrong room?" she blurted out as soon as she approached.

Xinxiao smiled calmly and raised the documents in her hand. "No, I'm a shareholder of Pei's. It's only right for me to attend the meeting."

Wasn't she just back in the country and supposedly broke? How did she suddenly become a shareholder of Pei's? Siya couldn't believe it and snatched the documents from Xinxiao's hand.

Flipping quickly to the last page, her elegant eyes flared with anger upon seeing the signature of the final shareholder.

"Ha, Xinxiao, did you forge this just to get into Pei's?" she accused.

Xinxiao's smile faded, her gentle eyes turning icy. "You know the truth, don't you? So why bother asking me?"

Siya took a deep breath, struggling to suppress her rising anger, and pointed to the door, enunciating each word with deliberate slowness, "Get out."

Pei Xinxiao leaned in and replied with three words: "Not a chance."

Shen Yunsheng had secretly acquired only fifteen percent of the shares, not enough to wield significant influence, but sufficient to secure her position within Pei's Group. However, Zheng Siya had no intention of letting her stay without a fight.

Seeing Xinxiao unmoved, Siya called for security.

As security approached to escort her out, Xinxiao slammed down the share transfer document she held, her sharp gaze sweeping across the room. She declared coldly, "I'm a shareholder of Pei's. Who dares to throw me out?"

"Pei Xinxiao, you witch!"

Pei Zhengjun entered just in time to hear Zheng Siya's furious outburst, his face darkening immediately. "What kind of behavior is this?"

Siya turned to see Zhengjun and rushed to him, complaining, "Dad, she doesn't even own shares in Pei's but insists on disrupting the shareholders' meeting. I had no choice but to ask her to leave, but she threatened me with some name." Tears of grievance began to fall as she spoke.

Zhengjun looked at Xinxiao with questioning eyes.

Xinxiao slowly picked up the document from the floor, opened it, and showed it to him. "Dad, see for yourself if it's real or fake."

Only today did she realize that some people could lie so blatantly. Wow, with acting skills like that, why not pursue a career in Hollywood?

Pei Zhengjun squinted, trying to see more clearly. He stepped closer, carefully examining the document, then looked up to meet Zheng Siya's eyes, silently questioning her.

"Dad, can you recall a time when I ever lied?" Pei Xinxiao moved in slowly. "I must say, everything I've done has been true to myself, to you, to Mom, and even to my brother. But this daughter you cherish so much..."

Pei Xinxiao hinted at something deeper.

Earlier, Pei Zhengjun was puzzled. The stock transfer document seemed straightforward enough, so why couldn't she recognize it?

Zheng Siya was extremely uncomfortable. There was no doubt in her mind that her father thought she was lying.
