After The Divorce, My Dad Was Abused and Cried - Chapter 19

“I think my secretary didn’t explain clearly to Mr. Pei before, so he didn’t fully understand my sincerity. So this time, I came here in person.” Liu Dezhou gestured to the secretary behind him.

The secretary immediately took out an envelope and handed it to Pei Yichen.

“This is the deposit I’ve prepared. Mr. Pei, please take a look. If you’re not satisfied, we can discuss it again.” The smile on Liu Dezhou’s face never faded.

He was a businessman who knew how to deal with people.

He could advance and retreat, giving the other party enough face.

“Mr. Liu, I’ve made it clear to your lawyer before. I’m rejecting your case not because the money you offered is insufficient, but because Attorney Mandy doesn’t have time to take your case,”

Pei Yichen said calmly.

“What do you mean by refusing? Isn’t it just because the money is not enough? Just name your price.” Liu Yinyin, standing behind Liu Dezhou, was already losing patience.

Honestly, she couldn’t understand why her father was so polite to a lawyer.

After all, they were the first party!

“I’ve already told you, it’s not about money.” Liu Yinyin’s arrogant attitude made Pei Yichen’s smile fade slightly.

“If it’s not about money, what else could it be? Aren’t you lawyers always concerned with money over relationships?” Liu Yinyin snorted.

“Then please find a lawyer who’s concerned with money over relationships. Our temple here is too small to accommodate a statue like Miss Liu.” Pei Yichen’s smile had completely vanished.

“You…” Liu Yinyin had always been spoiled, relying on her status to be coaxed and flattered.

Now, after being confronted by Pei Yichen, her face darkened.

“Who is that? So noisy?” But just as she was about to retort, a slightly hoarse voice echoed from the side.

Liu Yinyin looked in the direction of the voice.

But when she saw the sleepy woman clearly, her face turned pale.

“Jian…Jian Muyu?!”

Even her fingertips began to tremble.

Her expression was horrified, as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

When Jian Muyu heard her name, she raised her eyelids and tried to look over.

When her eyes fell on Liu Yinyin, her expression could not help but pause.

They actually met here.

“What a coincidence.” Jian Muyu stood up, yawned, and slowly walked over from the darkness.

“When did you come back? Why did you come back?!” Liu Yinyin had come back to her senses at this time. She

looked at Jian Muyu with gritted teeth, as if she wished she would disappear from this world forever.

“This country is yours? Do I need your consent to come back or not?” Jian Muyu glanced at her casually.

In the past, for Xi Peijue’s sake, she gave in to her in everything.

Now, she will no longer have any patience with her.

“You…you came back for Xi Peijue? Haven’t you given up on him yet?!” This is what Liu Yinyin cares about.

“Hey, he’s just a man. How could he be worth my lingering thoughts for so many years?”

“You’re the only one who treats him like a treasure.”

“Since you like him so much, I’ll give him to you. After all, there are plenty of men. I’m not like you, who’s so short of men,” Jian Muyu said casually.

As soon as Jian Muyu finished speaking, Liu Yinyin’s expression froze.

Her gaze passed over her and looked behind her.

“Pei… Peijue…” Liu Yinyin muttered.

At the name, Jian Muyu’s gaze paused,

but quickly returned to normal.

Yu Xiu glanced at his CEO, then at Jian Muyu in front of him.

He felt his heart flutter again.

What kind of Shura scene was this?!

Was the young lady serious about what she just said?

Was she treating the CEO like a commodity… and giving him away?

Yu Xiu said that at that moment, he was a little afraid to look at Xi Peijue’s expression.

Xi Peijue walked solemnly to Jian Muyu’s side.

That gaze remained fixed on her,

like that of an enraged beast,

ready to leap over and snap her neck at any moment.

Jian Muyu gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

There was nothing wrong with what she had just said!

“Peijue, what a coincidence! I actually ran into Miss Jian here.” Liu Yinyin approached, standing next to Xi Peijue with unwavering naturalness.

The assertion of her dominance was obvious.

But Xi Peijue didn’t answer her question, only staring at Jian Muyu with a piercing gaze. Xi Peijue

‘s disregard made Liu Yinyin’s hands, hanging at her sides, clench into fists.

But the more she felt, the more she couldn’t lose her composure.

Finally, she mustered the courage to grab Xi Peijue’s sleeve and gently shook it.

“You didn’t have to come all this way to pick me up. I came with my father, and he’ll take me home later.” Liu Yinyin’s tone was tinged with coquettishness,

and she was speaking to Jian Muyu.

Jian Muyu found this jarring. As

expected, in this world, only Liu Yinyin could experience Xi Peijue’s tenderness.

She turned to glance at Pei Yichen.

“It’s too noisy here. Let’s go back.”

That Pei Yichen had even claimed that Xi Peijue had feelings for her.

How blind!

Jian Muyu, with a cold expression, walked around the crowd and headed for the door.

The entire time, she didn’t glance at Xi Peijue again.

But as she passed him, he grabbed her wrist.

Liu Yinyin’s heart instantly sank at Xi Peijue’s gesture.

“Peijue…” she cried, her face uneasily fixed.

Jian Muyu frowned, glanced at her hand, and tried to struggle.

Finding she couldn’t get free,

her expression grew even more irritated.

Finally, she looked up to meet Xi Peijue’s gaze.

His eyes were still the same as before:

overbearing, insolent, and impossible to avoid.

“Mr. Xi, please respect yourself.” Jian Muyu took a deep breath, his tone extremely unfamiliar.

“Self-respect? Why didn’t you think of self-respect when you asked me to go to a love hotel?” Xi Peijue’s tone was a little sarcastic. There

seemed to be countless dark colors in those black eyes.

As soon as he said this, the eyes of everyone present fell on Jian Muyu.

For a moment, Jian Muyu felt like a thorn in her back.

Did this guy deliberately want to embarrass her? !

“Didn’t Mr. Xi also come to the appointment?” In front of Liu Yinyin, Jian Muyu didn’t want to lose at all!

“So there is no need for us to use the word ‘self-respect’ between us.” Xi Peijue’s tone was deep.

Jian Muyu: “…”

This guy’s mouth is more suitable for being a lawyer than her!
