Chapter 94: Why?

Chapter 94: Why?

The car was passing an intersection, Shu Lingxiao didn’t answer Shao Shiyan’s question.

Her opinion wasn’t important.

What mattered was that Pei Yuan currently only had one choice.

Shao Chengxi’s move to fight one against ten was indeed effective.

Seeing that Shu Lingxiao continued to ignore him, Shao Shiyan lowered his posture, pitifully saying:

“Sister, can you acknowledge me?”

“Just a little, just for a second.”

“Sister, can you give me a chance, just one chance, I really like you, I like you more and more…”

“Shut up!” Shu Lingxiao suddenly gave a low shout.

Shao Shiyan immediately clamped his tongue, tightened his shoulders, stared ahead, and didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

Shu Lingxiao finally turned her head and exhaled:

“In the future, you’re not allowed to say things like ‘like’ or ‘love’ in front of me, understand?”

Shao Shiyan mechanically turned his head to look at her, repeatedly shaking his head: “But I just like you, sister.”

Shu Lingxiao glared at him.

Shao Shiyan’s eyes shrank, he pouted, “If I can’t say it, then please allow me to express my affection for you with actions.”

Shu Lingxiao frowned tightly, “If you talk nonsense again, I’ll make you get out of the car immediately.”

Shao Shiyan pursed his lips and didn’t say anything more, just sat quietly, occasionally stealing glances at her.

The two were silent all the way.

The car stopped at the gate of the Shao family villa. Shu Lingxiao turned her head, her tone cold: “We’re here, get out of the car.”

Shao Shiyan was a little reluctant, but still obediently unbuckled his seat belt.

He pushed open the car door and was about to get out when he suddenly turned back, flashed a smile, and said:

“Sister, thank you for giving me a ride back. I’m very happy to be able to sit in your car.”

“Next time, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Shu Lingxiao didn’t even glance at him, then drove away.

Shao Shiyan stood there, watching the car disappear from his sight, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

A tough woman fears a persistent man, right?

Good, then from now on, he would be persistent like that.

On this side, the Shao family had set up the trap, just waiting for the Pei family to fall into it.

On the other side, Pei Yuan was in a terrible state. Escorted by bodyguards, he finally escaped the encirclement of reporters and got into his car in a mess.

As soon as the car door closed, his face instantly darkened, and his chest rose and fell sharply.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions.

The car started and slowly drove away from Imperial University. Pei Yuan narrowed his eyes, a trace of coldness flashed.

He signaled the driver to put down the partition, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected, and a slightly fearful voice came from the other end: “Mr. Pei…”

Pei Yuan’s tone was icy, almost squeezed out from between his teeth:

“Why did you go to the hospital at this time? Didn’t I tell you to behave yourself recently?”

The person on the other end of the phone was obviously frightened by his tone, his voice trembling slightly:

“Mr. Pei, I… I really didn’t feel well.”

“Last night I begged you, saying I wasn’t feeling well, asking you not to touch me for now…”

“I really wasn’t feeling well, so I had to go to the hospital for a checkup.”

“I didn’t expect to be photographed by paparazzi… I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to.”

Pei Yuan’s face became even more gloomy, he clenched his phone, his knuckles white.

The person on the other end of the phone continued cautiously: “How about… I come out and make a statement, explain it?”

“No need.” Pei Yuan interrupted him coldly, his tone impatient, “The more you explain, the more chaotic things will become. Don’t cause me any more trouble.”

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly, leaned back in his seat, and closed his eyes.

But a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Recently, he had indeed been somewhat out of control, especially when his rut was approaching, his emotions and pheromones became difficult to control.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Pei Yuan opened his eyes, saw the caller ID, and didn’t answer it immediately.

It was a call from his grandfather.

He could imagine what the other party would say as soon as he answered the phone.

After hesitating for a while, he still answered.

The other party’s voice was steady but with a hint of anger:

“Pei Yuan, now that things have come to this, the best way to save your image is to immediately announce your marriage to that Omega. Do as I say, stop dawdling.”

Pei Yuan frowned tightly, unwillingly saying:

“Announcing the wedding now, wouldn’t that confirm those rumors? The public opinion will be even more unfavorable to me.”

A cold laugh came from the other end of the phone:

“Do you think public opinion is in your favor now?”

“Pei Yuan, now is not the time to only consider your personal interests, you also need to think about the entire Pei family.”

“Announcing the wedding date can at least quell this scandal as quickly as possible, and also save the Pei family’s reputation.”

Pei Yuan was silent, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

That’s right, he was already caught in the whirlpool of public opinion. If he didn’t take effective action as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it when I get back.” Pei Yuan said helplessly.

Hanging up the phone, Pei Yuan sighed a long breath.

Marrying this mistress he had been keeping would make it impossible to gain support for his career through marriage.

It would basically cut off his path to the presidency in the future.

After that, the Pei family would choose someone else to support, abandoning him and making him a stepping stone for others.

But he had no choice.

This storm was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Of course, he knew that this was all Shao Chengxi’s doing, but he could only watch helplessly as he entered the other party’s trap.

It was the time for students to leave school, and the campus roads of Imperial University were crowded with students, and the car could only move slowly.

Pei Yuan looked out of the car window, his expression unclear.

Unintentionally, his gaze was attracted by a figure in front.

That was Shao Chengxi’s already married, but not yet marked little Omega, one in a million US-Class Omega.

At the forum, he sat in the VIP seat.

When he first entered the venue, he noticed this Omega.

His name was Shu Lin, Shu Lingxiao’s younger brother.

Just looking at his silhouette, he knew he was a stunning little beauty.

Why was such a wonderful person snatched away by that arrogant Shao Chengxi?

Why, when both of them married commoner Omegas, could Shao Chengxi marry a US-Class Omega?

Why did he have such dogshit luck?

And that Shu Lingxiao, she dared to embarrass him in public today!

“Shao Chengxi, Shu Lingxiao…” Pei Yuan looked unwilling, chewing on these two names fiercely, as if gnawing on their flesh and blood.

Just as the car was about to pass Shu Lin and Gu Xiao, Pei Yuan’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he said to the driver in a deep voice:

“Tell the cars in front and behind to slow down, be careful.”

“Yes, Minister Pei.”

After speaking, he picked up his phone and tapped on the screen rapidly.

Soon after, a convoy slowly passed by the two teenagers who were walking and joking.

After the convoy drove a distance, Pei Yuan looked back and saw a group of students suddenly gathered in a circle.

He vaguely heard panicked cries for help.

Pei Yuan turned his head back, a smug smile on his lips.

Hmph, Shao Chengxi, if you make me unhappy, then don’t think you can live in peace.
