Chapter 542: Chapter 540: What Else is Complicated?
"He Wanshan even appointed himself as an important minister, so at least the Rimu Family should be informed, shouldn’t they?"
Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, "It seems you want to use Brother Pei to throw your weight around."
Xia Wenyan laughed it off as if it was nothing, "Brother Pei said what’s his is mine, so there’s no harm in me pretending to ride on his coattails, right?"
"Exactly, exactly, Brother Pei is willing to indulge you, there’s nothing wrong with that."
Listening to Xia Wenyan’s words, Lu Zhaozhao’s face was full of smiles, feeling like she was being fed dog food.
Seeing the two of them open their hearts to each other, Lu Zhaozhao naturally felt happy too.
In her previous life, every member of the Xia Family lived unhappily, so in this life, if possible, she wished for every one of them to be happy.
Suddenly, it seemed Xia Wenyan remembered something, and he lowered his voice to ask, "Zhaozhao, when the time comes for He Wanshan to be slapped in the face, do you want to join in the fun?"
Without even thinking, Lu Zhaozhao readily agreed, "Of course, during Brother Pei’s moment of glory, I’ll definitely be there!"
"Great, great, I’ll discuss it with Brother Pei in a bit, to decide when to notify the people from the Rimu Family. Muah muah muah~"
"..."
After Xia Wenyan finished the call, he went straight back to Pei Huai’s office.
At that moment, Pei Huai was wearing a pair of blue-light glasses, and as the sky darkened, the bright light from the computer reflected off the glasses, casting a tranquil glow.
Xia Wenyan felt his heart suddenly start to beat a bit fast; he didn’t understand why before, but now he knew.
He also understood exactly what he wanted.
He went straight to Pei Huai’s side and sat down, his peach blossom eyes smiling cheerfully at him.
Pei Huai slowly took off the glasses resting on his nose, his expression indulgent as he looked at Xia Wenyan and raised his hand to ruffle his hair, asking, "Did you finish your call with Zhaozhao?"
Xia Wenyan nodded repeatedly, "Yes! I was initially worried that He Xintian would cause trouble for Zhaozhao, but I didn’t expect Song Sinian to have stepped up the security on set. The moment He Xintian shows up, she gets thrown out."
That way she couldn’t touch Lu Zhaozhao at all.
Xia Wenyan naturally stopped worrying.
He spoke up to this point, then as if he remembered something, turned his gaze to Pei Huai, "Brother Pei, did you contact someone from the Rimu Family just now?"
He had just assured Lu Zhaozhao with all his heart, so if there wasn’t any action on Pei Huai’s part, his image as a big brother might ’crash and burn’ in Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes.
Watching his worried look, Pei Huai sighed helplessly, "While you were making the call, I already contacted the current proxy for the Rimu Family, and had them send a house servant related to the He family."
Xia Wenyan frowned suddenly, looking a bit worried as he asked, "But what if the house servant communicates with the He family father and daughter?"
If He Wanshan knew the person acting against him was the Family Head, he certainly wouldn’t be so arrogant anymore.
He might even start slandering!
Pei Huai chuckled lightly, pinched Xia Wenyan’s nose gently, and reassured, "Don’t worry, the proxy won’t leak any information, and the house servant informed by the proxy knows nothing about the current situation here. He’s only been told it’s a business trip."
Xia Wenyan finally let out a sigh of relief.
But on second thought, it made sense. With Brother Pei being so smart, how could he make such a basic mistake?
Seeing his face relaxing considerably, Pei Huai’s large hand pinched his cheek, then he said, "Yanyan, no matter what it is, as long as you want to do something, just tell me. You need to believe in my ability, understand?"
Looking at Xia Wenyan’s dazed expression, Pei Huai gently leaned in closer, and added in a low voice, "Whether it’s my ability from any faction."
"!!!"
Xia Wenyan’s ear tips blazed instantly, turning beet red in a moment.
He couldn’t possibly misunderstand the implied meaning in Pei Huai’s words.
Ever since they returned from R-country, the pattern of their interactions shifted from him clinging to Pei Huai, to Pei Huai clinging to him.
Or perhaps Pei Huai had been clinging to him before, but back then he hadn’t noticed, and now...
Xia Wenyan’s entire being seemed about to blush as red as a shrimp ball.
He tried to change the subject, his gaze inadvertently falling upon a few characters on the computer—Feng Ya Meizi.
Xia Wenyan’s eyes suddenly widened considerably, "You found Feng Ya Meizi?"
Pei Huai came back to his senses, his gaze also shifting to the computer.
His brow furrowed slightly, but he nodded nonetheless.
Now Xia Wenyan immediately became excited.
This woman had made a move against Pei Huai back in R-country!
Pei Huai had clearly rejected her, and she even dared to drug him; just thinking of Feng Ya Meizi made Xia Wenyan grit his teeth in anger.
Watching Xia Wenyan’s sudden burst of irritability, Pei Huai’s large hand gently tousled his hair, "We have indeed located her, but the situation is somewhat complex."
"Complex?" Xia Wenyan cocked his head, seemingly unable to comprehend what could be complex about finding Feng Ya Meizi.
Could it be that Feng Ya Meizi was planning to make a comeback?
Having lost her position as the Fengya Family heir, she surely harbored resentment against them. He wouldn’t be surprised if such a narrow-minded and arrogant woman sought revenge.
What mattered to him was what the woman was planning to do.
Pei Huai let out a soft sigh, opened the computer interface, scrolled down a bit, and pushed it towards Xia Wenyan sitting next to him, causing a visible change in Xia Wenyan’s expression. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
Because in addition to Feng Ya Meizi, the computer also displayed information on another person.
That was Xia Wenjin.
Even though she had been disfigured, her exposed facial features still had a hint of familiarity.
Especially since Pei Huai, reborn and on guard against Xia Wenqing ever since, could easily recognize her.
Almost immediately after receiving this photo, he was sure the woman wrapped up in bandages was Xia Wenjin.
He didn’t know the extent of the damage to her face, but it appeared she had no intention of seeking treatment.
Was she perhaps thinking that, with her face ruined, she wouldn’t have to worry about Xiao Mo and the others trying to kill her?
Or did she have some other plan?
Pei Huai wasn’t sure, so he planned to have someone investigate further.
Unexpectedly, Xia Wenyan found out.
Although Xia Wenyan detested Xia Wenjin, how could he not recognize someone he had lived with for 20 years?
He pursed his lips, "Xia Wenjin is toxic, right? How did she get to know Feng Ya Meizi?"
It seemed Xia Wenjin could make connections with any unsavory character.
He was somewhat speechless.
Pei Huai shook his head slightly, "We don’t know how they met for now, but it probably has something to do with Fengya Ichiro’s mistress. At that time, Feng Ya Meizi was sent to one of his mistresses overseas."
Although her inheritance as the Fengya heir had been revoked publicly, she was still Fengya Ichiro’s daughter, so there would still be some care extended towards her.
Pei Huai didn’t find it strange...
