On the day Jing Ci confessed her feelings, Pei Che cruelly rejected her.
"Jing Ci, I despise everyone and everything entangled in the world of the wealthy."
"What about me? Do you despise me too?"
"You're wonderful, but we're not right for each other."
"All right. I understand."
Since Pei Che had turned her down, Jing Ci chose to let him go.
But that very night, her father was left in a coma after a car accident, her company was in crisis, and her family betrayed her...
In just a few days, she had lost everything.
Pei Che appeared before her again, offering to help restructure the company and uncover the truth.
Watching Pei Che work in perfect sync with Secretary Lin, she thought he might be better suited to a girl like that.
When a contract for a two-billion-yuan investment was placed in front of her, Jing Ci was dumbfounded. "Where did he get all that money?"
Jing Ci didn't sign it.
She didn't want Pei Che to get involved with the people and problems he despised.
Three months later, the Jing family announced an arranged marriage with the Feng family abroad. Pei Che went mad!
He dialed a number he had kept buried for years and demanded coldly:
"Was this your plan? Did you use her to force me back?"
"Fine, you win!"
On the day of the engagement banquet, the Feng family's eldest son, who had been living abroad, made a forceful return.
Seeing who had arrived, Jing Ci felt as if she were in a surreal dream. "Pei Che?"
That night, Pei Che pulled her into his arms.
"You love me. Who else are you trying to marry?"
"I don't love you anymore! Let go!"
"Fine. Then let me be the one who loves you."
"..."
(Note: The Feng family has an ancestral rule: anyone who voluntarily severs ties with the family must endure nine days of flogging to return.)
