She kept her marriage a secret for three years, then divorced and was forcefully pampered by a power

Pei Rongrong didn't know how Huo Qingyue knew, so since she couldn't hide it any longer, she simply told her everything.

She didn't believe Huo Qingyue could actually kill her.

Huo Qingyue really couldn't do anything to Pei Rongrong. Things had already come to this point, and even if she beat Pei Rongrong to death, it wouldn't change anything.

"Does Meng Yu know about this?"

Huo Qingyue calmed down, and Pei Rongrong was very proud.

"How could he know? And I believe Meng Yu loves me very much. Mom, I've changed. I've cut off all contact with those friends. Meng Yu won't know about my past. As long as he finds someone to have my child, we'll live happily ever after."

Pei Rongrong is very confident.

Meng Yu can't live without her.

Huo Qingyue felt a headache coming on when she saw Pei Rongrong's nonchalant expression.

"What does Meng Yu love about you?"

Huo Qingyue is a regular in the world of fame and fortune, and Meng Yu is no naive young man.

"He loves me because I'm young and beautiful, from a good family, with parents of high status, and an uncle who can help him."

Huo Qingyue threw away the whip in her hand, it seems that her daughter is not entirely brainless.

After all, someone with Huo family blood flowing through their veins couldn't possibly be a brainless coward.

"Forget it, you'd better watch yourself."

Pei Rongrong walked pitifully to Huo Qingyue, tugging at her sleeve, tears still on her face.

"Mom, so you're not angry with me anymore?"

"How are your injuries? Let me see."

Huo Qingyue didn't answer Pei Rongrong, but instead rolled up her sleeve, revealing several shocking whip marks.

"I'll call Qin Mu over to apply the medicine for you later. Now go back to your room and reflect on your actions."

Pei Rongrong knew when to pretend to be compliant, and with tears in her eyes, she said, "Okay."

Pei Rongrong walked upstairs looking aggrieved, but Huo Qingyue called her back again.

"What else?"

Huo Qingyue looked at her daughter, her face grim, and said, "Never let your father know about what happened to you. If he asks, you must insist that you were framed and blackmailed, understand?"

Pei Rongrong was very happy, knowing that Huo Qingyue intended to protect her to the end.

"I understand, Mom. Thank you, Mom."

Huo Qingyue had arranged to play mahjong with someone. Now that the matter was resolved, she wanted to find a place to relax, so she asked her driver to take her to their house.

When Pei Rongrong heard the maid see Huo Qingyue off, she threw a tantrum in her room, so angry that she almost ground her teeth to powder.

Who exactly complained to Huo Qingyue? If she finds out, she'll tear that person to pieces.

Pei Rongrong looked at her phone; Huo Xiao hadn't called her even once.

It's all because of that Shao Yan. If it weren't for that vixen, her uncle would have arrived long ago, and she wouldn't have been beaten so badly by Huo Qingyue.

Pei Rongrong picked up her phone and made a call.

"Miss Pei, what brings you here?"

The voice on the phone was low and gloomy, with a hint of sleazy.

"I'll send you some information later. You need to investigate this woman thoroughly, and I need to know everyone connected to her."

The man was silent for a few seconds on the phone, then chuckled dryly, "It's not that I can't do things for you, but you have to let me have a taste of the benefits. The batch of brothers I gave you last time all got arrested by the police. They didn't get the money, and they're all going to serve three years in jail. I'm short-handed now."

Pei Rongrong's eyes blazed with anger: "How dare you say that? You asked my dad for some money, and you made such a big fuss, attracting my uncle's attention. What kind of work are you doing?"

The man was in a bad mood after being lectured by Pei Rongrong.

"You ask me? How would I know? Isn't the problem with that cripple?"

Pei Rongrong immediately denied the man's words: "Impossible, my uncle doesn't know her at all."

Not wanting to bring up Meng Yu's assistant, Pei Rongrong said impatiently, "Help me get this done, and I'll give your brothers a settlement allowance later."

The man seemed very dissatisfied with Pei Rongrong's handling of the situation: "It's not like I don't have money."

Pei Rongrong said coldly, "Then what do you want?"

The man grinned lewdly: "You sleep with me for one night, and I'll help you out. I won't charge you a penny."

Pei Rongrong scolded, "Pei Tao, don't push your luck. You're my brother."

"So what? You're not my biological sister. Besides, you wanted to get some money from my dad, and I did my best to help you. We've slept together before, so why are you pretending to be a saint? Fine, you don't have to agree, but what if I get drunk and tell your current boyfriend what you did? Do you think he'll still want you then?"

Pei Rongrong snapped off one of her fingernails with a snap, her teeth grinding together.

"How so?"

Pei Tao continued to threaten, and Pei Rongrong gritted her teeth: "Fine, just this once."

Pei Tao smiled wickedly: "Of course, unless you want to."

In the mall, Shao Yan stopped shopping only when her heels were blistered from wearing high heels.

Huo Xiao carried all the bags he bought.

"Mrs. Huo, is there anything else you need?"

It turns out women really can shop a lot; luckily, he has good stamina.

"Yesterday, Cheng Qian followed you in his car all the way. He said you went to several jade shops. Are you looking to buy something?"

After shopping for so long, Shao Yan's mood improved considerably.

"The jade Buddha statue that my mother left me is broken, and I want to get it repaired."

Huo Xiao didn't say anything, and Shao Yan was very disappointed.

She knew very well that Huo Xiao knew Pei Rongrong was behind it, yet he refused to apologize to her on behalf of his niece.

Looking back, she felt relieved.

She was never anyone to Huo Xiao, so why should he care about her affairs?

When the two returned home, Shao Yan went upstairs in silence.

Huo Xiao watched her figure disappear down the winding staircase, then took out his phone and made a call.

Shao Yan took a shower, but was still upset about her mother's jade.

She didn't fall asleep until late at night, but she slept soundly all night.

Shao Yan woke up very early and found herself all alone.

Huo Xiao did not go back to the master bedroom to sleep last night.

She went downstairs for breakfast but still didn't see Huo Xiao. She picked up her phone to check the news when a text message from Huo Xiao popped up.

"I'm away on a business trip—"

Just three simple words, nothing more.

Shao Yan didn't take it seriously either.

As soon as she arrived at the Fit, Han Yifei knocked on the office door.

"Today we're going to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission's office. Senior executives from our competitor company will also be there. We'll go together to show the leaders how much importance our company attaches to this project. As for the rest, we'll just have to play it by ear."

Shao Yan knew that Han Yifei was referring to science and engineering, specifically advanced programming.

She messed up the project last time, so she's not very confident.

"Can I not go?"

Han Yifei looked at her with a strange expression.

"Aren't you going? Meng Yu will definitely be there today. You're not really a spy for him, are you?"

Shao Yan frowned slightly: "No, you mean our competitor this time is the Meng Group again?"

Han Yifei leaned against the door, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"In the entire northern part of the city, besides him, who else would keep chasing after our Honda Fit so relentlessly?"

Over the years, it's not just the Meng Group that likes to compete with Fit for projects; Fit also tries to take advantage of Meng Yu whenever it sees him.

Shao Yan knew very well.

"Holy crap—"

She had to get up from where she fell, and this time, she would definitely not give Meng Yu another chance.
