In the conference room, Song Yuqiao was suddenly slapped in the face without warning, and she didn't even have time to react.

  As her vision cleared, she saw a woman standing in front of her wearing a black dress. She was holding what looked like a very luxurious bag, slightly shorter than Song Yuqiao, and had to tilt her head up slightly to look at her.

  Song Yu pinched his eyebrows and touched the painful place on his cheek, with a red stain on the tip of his finger, it was indeed scratched and bleeding.

  Xu Shaojie took one look and thought things were going badly.

  Someone next to me has already recognized her. Isn't this woman Xu Shaojie's wife? How many times has this woman come this week? The third time? This time, she actually hit the secretary brought by General Pei, apparently not wanting to live anymore.

  However, Mrs. Xu didn't know that she was about to slap Song Yuqiao again, but Song Yuqiao blocked her hand and pushed her forward heavily after shaking it off.

  Mrs. Xu wore high heels and lost her balance. She stumbled backward a few steps.

  "Fox spirit, being a mistress outside, is exactly what you are! Shameless!" Mrs. Xu scolded, her face twisted in anger. "How much money did my husband secretly give you? Buying houses and cars? Do you think that by clinging to my husband, everything will go smoothly for you? In the company, you serve as a little secretary, and after work, you warm the bed of someone else's husband, truly shameless! Whore!"

  Song Yuqiao's face was very bad, "This lady, please keep your mouth clean, I have no idea what you're talking about..."

  Song Yuqiao hadn't finished speaking when Xu Shaojie blocked him from behind: "What are you doing? You've got the wrong person!"

  "Isn't it her? I've already hired a private investigator," Mrs. Xu's voice grew louder, "Xu Shaojie, divorce! I don't care how many mistresses you have outside, if you don't want to be with me anymore, then I don't want to be with you either! Go find your little mistress elsewhere."

  As she spoke, Mrs. Xu suddenly pushed Xu Shaojie with force, and Xu Shaojie had no idea that she would suddenly take action, and he stumbled backward for two steps before stabilizing himself. However, Xu Shaojie was tall and hadn't noticed Song Yuqiao behind him, whose temple bumped against the corner of the chair, causing her vision to blur for a moment.

  The meeting room suddenly fell into chaos, Deng Yu had already walked over and helped Song Yuqiao up. A bruise had formed on Song Yuqiao's forehead, and a wound on his cheek was oozing blood. It looked quite frightening.

  Deng Yu's eyes were somewhat cold as he handed a tissue to Song Yuqiao.

  Song Yuqiao took it over, pressed against the wound on her face and said, "Thank you."

  Xu Shaojie knew he had made a mistake, so he just went along with it and started arguing with his wife. He even slapped her: "Are you sick or something? You come to my company in the middle of the day just to cause trouble?"

  "Are you allowed to flirt with that mistress when you're out working, but I'm not allowed to catch you in the act?!"

  Just then, a low voice came from behind him.

  "Whose trick is this?"

  The people in the conference room almost simultaneously turned their heads, and saw Pei Sicheng walking over from the doorway with large strides, his face stern, directly towards Song Yuqiao, looking at the bruise on her forehead. He furrowed his brow, took her hand to remove the tissue paper, revealing a clear gash on her face, with a patch of red swelling on her cheek.

  His face suddenly fell, his voice even lower than before, "Who did it?"

  Deng Yu said: "Mrs. Xu just came in and acted too quickly, no one had time to react, then she started shouting for divorce."

  Xu Shaojie was already startled in his heart, and Mrs. Xu took a step back.

  Xu Shaojie was shocked that Deng Yu had said such a long sentence, while Mrs. Xu was intimidated by the cold air emanating from Pei Cheng's body and couldn't help but take a step back.

  The two of them didn't say a word at the same time, while an employee next to them said: "It's Mrs. Xu, this is her third time causing trouble this week. Every time she comes to catch Manager Xu's mistress outside, Manager Xu has two female secretaries who were both disturbed to the hospital."

  Pei Si Cheng coldly laughed: "Little San?"

  The staff member who answered the phone shrank his neck and said, "Yes, every time Mrs. Xu comes to make trouble, she says so."

  In fact, Manager Xu has been having an affair outside for some time, and it's not just one or two days. Generally, those who want to climb the social ladder have had a relationship with him. However, Mrs. Xu only started making trouble recently.

  Pei Si Cheng directly bent down, without waiting for Song Yu Qiao's reaction, and directly scooped her up in his arms. As he passed by Mrs. Xu, he said: "This is my woman, can she be a mistress to your husband? You really overestimate yourself."

  After finishing speaking, Pei Si Cheng took big strides and walked out. Before exiting the door, he left behind a sentence: "Deng Yu, investigate clearly first, then report to the police."

  ………………

  Song Yuqiao felt that Pei Cheng's current hug was completely unnecessary, she had a wound on her face, not on her leg.

  "Put me down, I can walk."

  The moment Pei Shichen appeared at the door of the conference room, Song Yuqiao felt his heart lifted up. The feeling of suddenly having something to rely on was just like that.

  Pei Si Cheng didn't say a word and held Song Yu Qiao's hand as they walked forward with more steady footsteps.

  Song Yuqiao moved her lips and couldn't help but grab Pei Si Cheng's shirt at the chest.

  But now, the aura around Pei Si Cheng was even more intimidating, as if the 20% of his hidden aura had been released in an instant. The cold air was overwhelming, and Song Yu Qiao's heart skipped a beat, not daring to ask another question.

  Pei Si Cheng didn't answer, he carried her to the elevator and since both his arms were holding Song Yu Qiao, he couldn't press the elevator button, so Song Yu Qiao reached out to press it herself.

  She got on the elevator and Song Yuqiao pressed the button for the first floor again.

  The wound on her cheek, that kind of burning pain was no longer very obvious, should be just now Mrs. Xu's ring decoration on her fingers when she slapped her ear, it was not deep, the blood had already coagulated, only on the face this position, easy to leave scars.

  Pei Su Cheng lifted Song Yu Qiao into the car, he walked around to the driver's side and sat down, first reaching over to gently touch Song Yu Qiao's shoulder, then leaning in close to examine the red swelling on her cheek as well as the scratch, and finally using his fingers to massage the bruise on her temple.

  "Does it still hurt?"

  Pei Sicheng spoke up, and only then did Song Yuqiao notice the hoarseness in his voice that was heart-wrenching.

  She nodded obediently: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

  Pei Si cupped her face and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Today was an accident, it will absolutely never happen again."

  "It's not your fault, today was just an accident, this little injury is nothing, you're so worried about me, I'm afraid in the future I won't be able to go out at all." Song Yuqiao tried to liven up the atmosphere, "Will be blown away."

  Pei Si Cheng helped Song Yu Qiao fasten her seatbelt, "Then I'll tie you to me."

  On the way to the hospital, Song Yuqiao asked about the reason why Xu Shaojie's wife went to the company to make trouble. In the conference room, she also heard others say that this was the good times of the week, and this time it happened that she was standing behind Xu Shaojie and even holding him, being pulled by Mrs. Xu as a temporary gun.

  Pei Su Cheng said: "His wife also works in an import and export company, is in charge of finance, has a small background. Xu Shaojie has done a lot of hands and feet in the company, now taking advantage of the chaos, it's just for divorce. His wife has already emigrated abroad, when the time comes, she will take the property out first, even if I'm vigilant about Xu Shaojie on this side, there's no way to investigate his ex-wife."

  Song Yuqiao suddenly understood, it turned out that Xu Shaojie had actually made such a risky move.

  "So what are you going to do?"

  In front of XX Hospital has arrived, Pei Si Chen skillfully parked the car and said: "You don't have to worry about what happens next, go to the hospital first to check on your facial injury."

  At the hospital, the doctor gave Song Yuqiao basic treatment on her face and prescribed a medicine to remove scars. "Wait for the wound to scab over, don't pick at it with your hands, don't touch water, wait for it to fall off naturally. The wound isn't too deep, even if you don't use ointment, it will fade in a few months, it's okay."

  A few months?

  It's been a while since I've seen Pei Shicheng.

  Because of Pei's plan, before the end of the year, let Song Yuqiao become pregnant and then get married, even if it is after marriage to deepen their feelings with Song Yuqiao.

  Now, with a scar on his face, wearing a wedding dress and walking the red carpet, he thinks women should not want their weddings to have flaws.

  After leaving the hospital, Pei Cheng didn't take Song Yu back to the company either, but instead sent her to a hotel.

  It was past five o'clock, and Pei Hangyu's little friend had already slept soundly for a while, feeling refreshed. He searched around the hotel suite but couldn't find Qiaoqiao anywhere. Instead, he saw Uncle Li Beibei sitting at the table with his chin propped up, dozing off.

  Then, Bae Ho-young's belly full of bad water wanted to make trouble.

  He tiptoed over, moved a chair and climbed up, just wanting to shout out loud to scare Uncle Lei Bei, when the doorbell rang.

  What great timing.

  Moreover, Uncle Li Bei was dozing off, but his mind was completely on the boss, so when he heard the doorbell ring, before his eyes were even open, he got up and walked out, not expecting that young master was sitting in the chair next to him, and directly bumped into him.

  Fortunately, he reacted in time and directly supported Pei Huan Yu.

  Then, even the last bit of drowsiness was driven away.

  Bai Haoyu was used to opening the fingerprint lock with a double password at home, and this simple hotel lock was a bit awkward. He asked Li Bei's uncle to teach him how to open it, and then he opened the door smoothly and rushed out suddenly.

  "Jiao Jiao!"

  However, standing in front was Pei Sheng, who stepped aside and pulled Song Yuqiao with him. Pei Hangyu pounced on nothing. What a mess, brother.

  Bai Haoyu pouted, glaring at his dad, his small face suddenly looking like the "about to cry" emoticon.

  Song Yuqiao smiled and took Pei Haoyu's hand, "Come on, let's go in with Auntie."

  Pei Hangyu rushed towards Song Yuqiao with a smile, and when he turned to Pei Si Cheng, his face changed immediately. "From now on, I don't want to have the same surname as you, I want to have the same surname as my Qiao Qiao! I'm serious! From now on, please call me Song Hangyu! My name is Song Hangyu!"

  Song Yuqiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  Li Bei thought to herself, it's really true that once you have a mother, you don't need a father.

  Pei Si glanced at his son with a faint smile, "Sorry, your Qiao Qiao also has my surname."

  Lei Bei: *silence*

  Li Bei looked at this big and small one, each more sinister than the last, and even he, as their subordinate, felt embarrassed for them.

  Boss, don't be so petty and argue with a child of five or six years old. And young master, as someone's son, can you have some self-awareness as a son rather than an old man?

  However, Pei Hangyu didn't immediately understand what his dad meant and muttered to himself again. When he finally realized it, his eyes widened in horror as he stared at Song Yuqiao: "Qiao Qiao, why are you taking my dad's surname? Are you my long-lost sister?"

  Song Yuqiao: "......"

  Li Bei couldn't help it and burst out laughing, noticing his boss's gaze, he immediately put on a poker face and turned to walk out the door. At this time, if he stayed, he would be a thorn in their eyes, so it was better for him to leave.

  Pei Su Cheng put the medicine from the hospital on the table, "Be careful not to touch water, I'll be back tonight to apply it for you."

  Song Yuqiao's face was in the hospital, and the doctor had already applied medicine to the wound. The doctor said that it would be okay to apply more medicine after six hours.

  Song Yuqiao lowered her eyelids, "Mm, I can wipe it myself when the time comes."

  Because of Pei Hangyu's height problem, he didn't see the wound on Qiaoqiao's face at first. Now that Dad has already put the medicine on the table, he climbed onto the chair and saw a red mark on Song Yuqiao's face.

  He covered his mouth, "Qiao Qiao, what's wrong with your face?"

  Song Yuqiao saw Pei Hangyu's terrified expression and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his own cheek, was it really ruined beyond recognition?

  Pei Sicheng had already taken a step ahead and grabbed Song Yuqiao's wrist. "Don't touch, be careful you have bacteria on your hands."

  Pei Hangyu fell off the chair and pulled Song Yuqiao's hand, letting her squat down. "Qiao Qiao, does it hurt? I'll blow on it for you."

  After finishing speaking, the little guy puffed out his cheeks and leaned close to Song Yuqiao's injured face, blowing a mouthful of air. "I'll blow on it some more and it won't hurt anymore."

  Song Yuqiao smiled and patted Pei Haoyu's head, "Good boy."

  Before leaving, Pei Cheng called Pei Hangyu outside and squatted down, facing his son who was standing like a little hooligan, saying: "Stand up straight for me!"

  Pei Hangyu immediately stood up straight, with his round belly sticking out, his two small hands behind him, looking like a spinning top.

  "I'm giving you an assignment."

  Bae Ho-young's eyes lit up: "What task?"

  He recently played Plants vs. Zombies on his tablet, and what he enjoyed most was passing levels, killing one after another, wave after wave, that feeling is simply cool to the extreme.

  "From this afternoon until I get back tonight, I'm leaving the task of protecting Qiaoqiao to you."

  Bai Hangyu puffed out his chest, one hand raised to the top of his head in a very unstandard salute: "Yes, sir! Guaranteed completion of the mission!"

  Then the little guy ran into the room in a flash, shouting loudly: "Qiao Qiao Qiao! My dad told me to protect you!"

  Li Bei looked at the young master happily, like a little bird, and thought that children of this age were easy to deceive, and it was so easy to cheat him.

  ………………

  When he walked out of the hotel, Pei Si's face had no smile at all. Just one glance from him could freeze his eyes into ice. Li Bei knew that the boss was not targeting him now, but even so, he felt a little nervous in his heart.

  Pei Si called Pei Yi Bai on his way to drive Bei north, and told him roughly about what happened in the company.

  "Is he pretending?"

  Pei Si sneered: "Xu Shaojie got divorced from his wife half a month ago, and then used the division of marital property to start transferring funds abroad. According to my investigation, he has already bought a villa in the United States."

  "Are you still installing bugs?" Pei Yubai said, "Then how are you going to go, is it from Gu Qingcheng's road?"

  Pai Si snapped his lighter on, and a faint blue flame danced in his eyes. He smiled: "Even if I don't have to rely on Qing Cheng's underhanded tactics, this time I can still get him killed."

  Pei Shuobai understood Pei Cheng's meaning as soon as he heard it, and said: "I'll give Zhu Qihong a call to tell him about it. If you need someone, just ask him directly."

  "Uh-huh."

  This is also what Pei Shichen thought.

  Xu Shaojie and his wife weren't after money, were they? This time, they didn't even get a single cent, and to make matters worse, they lost their personal belongings as well.

  ………………

  After Deng Yu reported the incident in the company, Xu's wife was taken away by the police.

  Xu Shaojie is extremely anxious, because this matter has changed suddenly and he never thought it would turn out to be such a big problem, especially since his wife and daughter are immigrating abroad this week.

  He started calling to smooth things over, but Xu Shaojie could tell from Pei's tone when talking to Song Yuqiao that he was absolutely spoiled and pampered, it was just unclear whether this favoritism was temporary or long-term.

  Xu Shaojie made a few phone calls, but they had no effect at all. He suddenly became even more tense and his palms were sweating.

  Just then, while he was pacing back and forth in his office, another message suddenly came from the police station.

  Mrs. Hsu is suspected of evading huge amounts of import duties and has been arrested, awaiting transfer to the prosecutor's office for investigation.

  Xu Shaojie was completely stunned after hearing the news from his friend, how could they act so quickly, it was clearly because the adults were taken to the public security bureau for questioning, why would it involve tax evasion.

  "On the phone, this friend said: 'I'm not very clear about the specifics, but after your wife was caught, she produced evidence at the first opportunity, and the evidence was very complete. With the involvement of the tax authorities and the procuratorate... you'd better make more arrangements for yourself.'"

  Xu Shaojie suddenly sat down in the office chair.

  Originally wanted to find people from the tax bureau to come out and have a meal together, it seems that now even the opportunity to go out for a meal is gone.

  His wife's place, apart from the leftovers from import and export tariffs, also includes private property that has been allocated to his wife's name as public property after divorce, which belongs to him! Now if all of these are counted as tax evasion, not only will the amount of tax evasion be enough to serve a 10-year prison sentence, but what about the money?!

  Xu Shaojie immediately thought of this, it must be done by Pei Si!

  It seems that I can only ask Pei Su to show mercy, but asking Pei Su is not as good as asking that woman, Song Yuqiao.

  A woman's heart is softer than a man's.

  If it's all because of his wife's slap, Xu Shaojie would have cried his eyes out.

  Twenty minutes later, Xu Shaojie arrived outside the hotel suite where Pei Si Cheng was staying.

  Xu Shaojie also had some connections, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to find the hotel suite's address in just over ten minutes.

  He rang the doorbell.

  In the hotel room, Pei Hangyu was standing on a chair in the small kitchen, watching Song Yuqiao make fried milk for him. It looked delicious and his saliva almost dripped to the floor.

  Suddenly hearing the doorbell, Song Yuqiao wiped her hands and was about to go open the door when Pei Hangyu said: "Qiao Qiao, you cook! I'll go open the door!"

  Then, the little guy climbed down from the chair and ran to open the door without even wearing slippers.

  He is an uncle.

  The door was open, but there was no one. Xu Shaojie looked down and saw a little kid holding the door and standing up.

  He must have known that Pei Sicheng is a single father with a half-grown child, and it must be this little kid. However, if the child is here, then where is Pei Sicheng?

  "I've come looking for your dad."

  "My dad is not here." After saying that, Pei Hangyu wanted to close the door.

  He actually opened the door and came in looking for his father, but he wasn't looking for him. He actually ignored his existence so much that when he opened the door, he said there was no one?!

  Can't you see I'm a grown-up?!

  Xu Shaojie blocked the door with his hand, "And what about Miss Song, Song Yuqiao?"

  Song Yuqiao heard the noise outside and saw that Pei Haoyu had not come over for a long time, so he temporarily turned off the gas stove in the small kitchen, wiped his hands, and walked out.

  "Who is Xiao Huo?"

  Xu Shaojie saw Song Yuqiao and immediately took a step forward, then knelt down with a thud. "Miss Song, please spare my wife's life, she really didn't mean to hit you today, it was just an accident..."

  Song Yuqiao and Pei Hangyu were both stunned for a moment, especially Pei Hangyu, whose eyes almost popped out.

  Why does Xu Shaojie have to kneel down to Qiaoqiao? Is Qiaoqiao a Bodhisattva?

  Song Yuqiao said: "Manager Xu, I don't know anything about this matter at all. You also saw that I came to the hotel as soon as I returned from the hospital. I don't know the specific situation."

  Xu Shaojie started kowtowing to Song Yuqiao, his head knocking against the ground with a loud thud.

  Bae Hwan-young's little friend jumped back a bit, is he that sincere?!

  Xu Shaojie said: "Please tell General Pei for me, we're all having a hard time, I apologize to you on behalf of my wife, please forgive us..."

  Song Yuqiao originally wanted to take a step forward to help Xu Shaojie, but as soon as he heard this sentence, he stopped in his tracks. "It's not easy, but you've been doing some shady things in the company all along. Now that something has happened, what's the use of coming to me? The Pei family's company isn't mine, and tax evasion is a matter for the country to handle, it has nothing to do with the Pei family."

  Just then, Xu Shaojie hadn't had time to speak when several people wearing police uniforms rushed in from outside. One of them directly pressed Xu Shaojie's hands behind his back and handcuffed him: "Xu Shaojie, you are suspected of leaking business secrets, now approved for arrest."

  Bae Ho-young was startled.

  Xu Shaojie was stunned for a moment, his face had already turned into a liver color, and when he turned around and saw Deng Yu in an instant, he completely understood.

  This is a chess game laid out by Pei Si in advance, and he is just a pawn.

  "Damn you! You all deserve to die a terrible death! That damn Paisley will cut off his descendants!"

  Before Xu Shaojie finished cursing, Song Yuqiao had already rushed over to cover Pei Hangyu's ears.

  Several police officers left, and two stood outside talking to Deng Yu.

  Deng Yu was the one who followed Xu Shaojie all the way here, Pei Cheng had already expected it. With someone like Xu Shaojie's personality, once something happens, the first thing he would do is come to Song Yujiao to plead for mercy and flatter her.

  He walked over and said to the person who was blocking the way, "It's what Director Pei has instructed. If he wants to come and apologize, if he wants to come and beg for forgiveness, then don't block his way. Let's see how he'll go about begging."

  Song Yuqiao heard that it was Pei Sicheng who was staring at her from behind, and she put down her heart.

  "Sorry for the trouble, thank you."

  Deng Yu and several police officers went downstairs. Song Yuqiao walked out of the room to the corridor to see them off for a while, and only turned back after they got on the elevator.

  Just as Song Yuqiao turned around to close the open door, she heard a thud behind her. Pei Haoyu was also kneeling on the ground, muttering: "Bodhisattva protect me from being caught by the police! I'm a good kid! From now on, I'll study hard and listen carefully in class, not be greedy for fun, not play games, or secretly tease Mu Xiaodong. Don't let the police come and catch me, waaahhh..."

  Song Yuqiao: "......"
