C48 Do You Have to be so Rich?
"That's a must. I'll stick to you every day when you come back. It's been five or six years since you left the country."
"Yeah, yeah. I missed you so much."
Ningxia said excitedly, and the two talked for a while before ending the video call. A small, satisfied smile was on Ning Xia's lips.
People don't need many friends, as long as there are one or two sincere ones, it's enough. She still remembered that after she left the Ning Family and the school, she disappeared for a very long time, and Yin Qingfeng was the one who sought her out and accompanied her at that time.
Later on, when she went overseas to study, they only had this way to contact each other.
They were very close friends. Yin Qingfeng forgave her for using her photo on the internet, she took the blame for Yin Qingfeng in some cases, in short, they went through many hardships together.
And now that her good friend was coming back, it was something to be happy about.
"Ning Xia, I have urgent matters to attend to so I'm leaving, can you come and send me off?"
The sound of the message brought Ning Xia back to reality. When she saw the note, she pouted, dialed another number, and quickly typed: "Pei Shijie wants me to send him off, do you want me to go?''
"Go."
After receiving the news, she got up lazily. Seeing someone she didn't like was really a form of self-torture.
Outside, Pei Shijie had been waiting for a while before he saw Ning Xia walking out.
Seeing the obvious hesitation on her face, his heart suddenly tightened. "Ning Xia, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I'll definitely help you clarify it. Don't worry too much."
Only then did she realize that her mood was probably too obvious. But, Pei Shijie thought she was worried about the matters on the internet, not that she actually didn't want to see him. If he could really solve this matter, it would be a relief.
"I just didn't expect..."
Ning Xia wanted to say something but hesitated. Her eyes were filled with gratitude towards Pei Shijie, along with a glimmer of hope. She really hoped that Pei Shijie could help her solve the problem on the internet.
"Little fool, Pei Yichen can't do anything, why are you following him? You really are oppressed. "
The pain in Pei Shijie's eyes was thirty percent real and seventy percent fake. It was supposed to be a test, but the 30 percent were real, and he was a little confused. He really felt sorry for Ning Xia and wanted her to give up on Pei Yichen.
Ning Xia bowed her head hesitatingly. "I, actually … I was forced to …"
Pei Shijie's eyes lit up, "What exactly happened? What can I do for you? "
Ning Xia opened her mouth, secretly resenting her brain for pulling out such words. Now she couldn't take them back, even if she wanted.
Pei Shijie was anxiously looking at her. At this time, she no longer had any possibility of escaping.
Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she found a very good reason. "I owe President Pei a sum of money, that's why …"
"How much is it? I can help you."
Pei Shijie was a bit anxious. If he could help Ning Xia solve this problem, wouldn't she be willing to help him back?
"I owe …"
"Ning Xia!"
His deep voice was cold and filled with irritation, causing the two, who were absorbed in conversation, to jump in fright.
Ning Xia was obviously scared for a moment. She thought that she had said the wrong thing and might have upset Pei Yichen. Every time she heard his voice, trembling became a reflex.
But, in Pei Shijie's eyes, this small action was Ning Xia's reaction of fear after being pressured and tortured by Pei Yichen.
She was afraid of Pei Yichen.
"Pei Yichen looks like I was right. This little assistant is really restless. While she's with you, she's also hooking up with our big brother. This is really too much! A woman with such a loose personality, shouldn't you … "
Pei Yuanfan kept on pointing at Ning Xia. When he saw her sneakily coming downstairs and going to see Pei Shijie, he hurried to fetch Pei Yichen so that he could see her true face!
Pei Shijie's face turned ugly. He really wanted to beat up this little brother of his. He was about to succeed!
It seemed that he would have to find another opportunity in the future.
"Ning Xia, I'll be going now. We can talk later."
Pei Shijie said in a low voice, before getting in the car and leaving Pei Family Manor.
"Ning Xia, follow me to my room!"
Pei Yichen's voice was so cold as if it could freeze anything at any time. Pei Yuanfan instinctively shut his mouth and even stood a little further away.
Ning Xia walked behind Pei Yichen with her head bowed, like a child who had done something wrong. She silently pushed the wheelchair and went back to the room with Pei Yichen.
Pei Yuanfan stared at their backs with a mischievous look. "Hmph, Ning Xia, you still dare to talk back to me and say that I have no brains. I won't let you mess up the Pei Family anymore!''
After Ning Xia and Pei Yichen returned to their room, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest with lingering fear and said, "Aiya, my god. You really scared me to death."
Pei Yichen looked at her pretentious appearance and raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid of me?"
Ning Xia pouted: "What do you think? You keep a straight face all day and then suddenly you scare me to death. Luckily my heart is strong, otherwise, you wouldn't have such a cooperative assistant anymore. "
Not only was she afraid, she even wanted to cry every time he called her name. Only God knew how she felt hearing his cold voice. It was like a brutal awakening in the wee hours of the morning.
He was like a beast that could go crazy at any time, a lunatic!
Pei Yichen had never thought he would have such an image in Ning Xia's eyes. Looks like he kind of traumatized this girl. Then, he might as well give her some compensation.
"Let me show you my sincerity."
Pei Yichen motioned to her to give him the phone.
Ning Xia held her phone to her chest, warily. "Why?"
Pei Yichen didn't give her a chance to oppose and directly opened her phone's Alipay account and transferred over 300,000 yuan.
The sound of the money entering her account was especially pleasing to the ears. Ning Xia really wanted to jump up. Did he return the money to her?
"But, if you don't want my money, why did you count the styling fee last time? 500 thousand, big brother, do you have to be so unrestrained ?"
