C26 The Road Gave a Snarl

The Industry Department, on the other hand, did not have a moment of peace.

"Have you heard? The CEO's Ning Xia got off a luxury car today."

"I saw it and said no. I kept denying it."

"Why did I hear that it was President Pei's car from the 66th floor?"

"I think Yezi definitely knows the inside story. Usually, she has the best relationship with Ning Xia. And this morning, she was the one who spoke up for Ning Xia."

"She's good-looking. She might have been taken care of by someone a long time ago."

"Yes, yes, yes. I think so too. Look, she always wears loose clothes. Maybe she's already pregnant!"

In the office, you talked to each other for only three to five minutes.

The speaker was unintentional and the listener was thoughtful. Pei Shijie, who was passing by, deliberately slowed down his steps and listened to every word he said.

"Go ahead, call the one called Yezi to my office."

The manager's office.

Yezi looked at Manager Pei, who was sitting behind her desk, uneasily. She had always been obedient and conscientious. She shouldn't have made any mistakes, right?

"You are Yezi?"

Pei Shijie looked at Yezi who was standing in front of him. "Do you know Ning Xia?"

"Yes."

Yezi did not understand. What was it that involved Ning Xia?

"It's rumored that she's being taken care of outside. What do you think about this?"

Pei Shijie said this in a dark and unclear manner. He then looked at Yezi's expression without batting an eyelid.

Hearing his words, Yezi was worried that the General Manager would fire her because of such rumors. She was anxious. She knew very well how hard it was for Ning Xia to get to where she was now!

"General Manager, don't listen to those people outside talking nonsense. Ning Xia is not that kind of person. I was there the day she moved. It was Assistant Shen who helped her move. She moved to an apartment near President Pei's house to make it easier for her to work. It is not like what is said outside. Don't believe their nonsense."

Yezi was so anxious that she wanted to prove her innocence for Ning Xia, but she did not notice the smile on Pei Shijie's lips.

An apartment near President Pei's house? This was just to coax ignorant people.

The Pei Village Garden had a radius of a few hundred miles. Not to mention an apartment, there were no buildings at all!

It seemed like Ning Xia had already moved into the Pei Family.

This development was beyond his imagination.

However, he didn't forget that Pei Yichen had a wedding. The one he married was Second Miss from the Ning Family.

Pei Yichen took over his assistant in broad daylight. Second Miss from the Ning Family would be the leader, okay?

And Ning Xia, did she know that she had unknowingly been deceived by Pei Yichen and became the third son of someone else's marriage?

Interesting. He would like to go back to the Pei Family tomorrow to have a meal. He wanted to see when Pei Yichen's backyard would catch on fire.

Seeing that Pei Shijie didn't say anything, Yezi became even more anxious. "General Manager Pei, I'm telling the truth. Ning Xia really isn't that kind of person."

"Alright, I understand. I believe you. Um, you can go out first."

Pei Shijie had obtained a satisfactory answer, so he naturally wouldn't keep her any longer.

Yezi was confused by his attitude. She did not know how much he believed her. It was more important to not let Ning Xia get in the way of work because of these rumors.

But now, she could not say too much. She could only walk out of the office in embarrassment.

When she returned to the business department and saw her coworkers, she was furious. She had to say something now!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Spittle will drown people. Without evidence, it's best that you don't spread rumors here. This is no different from those keyboard warriors online. Do you want to force people to death?"

She had always been a forthright person with a loud voice. With such a roar and a slap on the table, her imposing manner was extraordinary. In an instant, those gossiping women were so scared that they could not speak. They all knew that she had a good relationship with Ning Xia, so they shut their mouths. They did not discuss it in front of her, but it did not mean that this matter had completely disappeared.

She was so angry that she just wanted to call Ning Xia right now and ask her to be careful. However, when she thought that this matter had already been exposed to Pei Shijie, she hesitated.

"Forget it, I'll call you for lunch!"

She hung up the phone gloomily and returned to her seat to get busy.

On the 66th floor, Ning Xia was unable to remain calm.

She looked at Shen Heng in disbelief. "Say that again. Are you sure this is what President Pei said?"

Shen Heng looked at her awkwardly and nodded with difficulty.

Ning Xia gritted her teeth and glared at Shen Heng. She quickly walked to the office door and kicked it open.

"Pei Yichen, aren't you overestimating yourself? Who do you think I am?"

Do you always have to wear a little green if you want to live?

How could he accept Pei Shijie's peacock invitation? Did he forget that he was his wife in name?

Did he have a good look on his face when he acted like he was out of the wall?

Pei Yichen frowned slightly at her sudden intrusion. Clearly, he was not satisfied with her attitude.

Shen Heng, who was standing at the door, felt his scalp go numb. He quietly reached out and closed the door. He did not want to hear their conversation. He was afraid that he would die young...

"I'll treat you as my partner."

These past few days, Pei Yichen had already thoroughly understood Ning Xia's temper. She would always carefully agree to things that she could endure. Even if she felt wronged, she would not blow her top. However, if she did, she would be a person who would take the soft but not the hard way.

Therefore, he seemed to be extremely patient as he explained to Ning Xia, "Don't worry, Pei Shijie will be useful to you. He won't offend you, but I need you to give him an illusion that you have fallen for him. Only then will it be convenient for our next move."

When Ning Xia heard his explanation, the flames in her heart weakened bit by bit.

"But, but I still don't want to go alone with him. Didn't you know that last time?"

Her gentle and pretentious appearance really made people want to throw up!

Pei Yichen couldn't help but curl his lips. To other people, Pei Shijie's performance was like a bright dream for all women. They couldn't wait to pounce on him.

However, to Ning Xia, he was like a bug that she could not avoid.

Ning Xia was someone who could see things clearly.

"You don't need to do anything on purpose. You just need to put away your disgusted expression."

Pei Yichen explained to her with a rare good temper. He hoped that Ning Xia would cooperate more and not make any mistakes. After all, it was not easy to meet such a chess piece.

"Alright, but you have to keep your promise. You can't renege on my promise."

"Alright, it's a deal."

Pei Yichen assured her with a smile.

Ning Xia rushed in aggressively. A minute later, she was convinced by him and walked out with a calm face. Shen Heng was so shocked that he could not even close his jaw.
