After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

Du drove the car to the winery.

Qiao Wan got into the car and put a steak knife into her bag.

Du Yi quickly turned around: "Sister Qiao, are you going to fight him to the death? Please stay calm. It's irrational to risk your life for a bad guy."

Qiao Wan remained calm: "The toy knife that Boss Luo had in his office can't hurt anyone."

Du Yi patted his heart: "Sister Qiao is really smart. Only someone more ruthless and wicked than him can handle that kind of scoundrel."

Qiao Wan lowered her eyes, and the light and shadows fell on her face through the car window, creating a play of light and shadow.

"Du Yi, some bad seeds have no bottom line. They will only break through human imagination time and time again. If you try to be as bad as them, you will only drag yourself into the deepest hell and become their sacrifice."

Du Yi raised his eyelids and glanced at the rearview mirror, stunned by Qiao Wan's words.

He always felt that Qiao Wan had experienced things that ordinary people could hardly bear.

"I heard that man shout that you married Mr. Pei to make money, but I definitely don't believe it. You and Mr. Pei clearly have feelings for each other and love each other."

Qiao Wan said calmly, "It's a misconception. I had ulterior motives for marrying him, but not for money."

"It's not a misperception, I know you love Mr. Pei."

Qiao Wan's eyelids twitched slightly: "Then how do you feel about Mr. Pei's feelings for me?"

Du Yi frowned and thought for a moment: "I always feel that he should love you."

Qiao Wan smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

Everyone could see her love, the love Pei Hansheng gave her. The love was too vague, but the hatred was much deeper.

Du Yi escorted Qiao Wan to the Pei Group building.

Qiao Jiadong would catch up soon, and Qiao Wan didn't want to implicate Du Yi, so she told him to leave first.

Qiao Wan lingered at the entrance of the group. The Qiao family had caused trouble here before, and Rong Wenying had set a rule that Qiao Wan was not allowed to step into the group building.

Last time, she acted impulsively because of Xiao Bao, which resulted in Pei Hansheng getting a severe scolding.

Let's just wait here.

Shen Yingtang jogged out from inside: "Wanwan, I'm calling my sister-in-law now and asking her to pick up Xiaobao after class. The child will stay at my brother and sister-in-law's house for a few days. Wait for me to finish my work, and then we'll go to a hotel."

"Um."

Shen Yingtang went to make a phone call, while Qiao Wan looked towards the roadside.

Qiao Jiadong got out of the taxi and walked casually toward the building.

Her eyes darkened, she took out a knife from her bag, and walked over to stop Qiao Jiadong.

"Think carefully about the consequences of your actions here."

Qiao Jiadong was genuinely intimidated and stood frozen in place: "You want to reunite with Ye Jizhou in prison? Go ahead and chop me up!"

Qiao Wan remained calm and composed, pointing the knife at Qiao Jiadong: "If you don't want to die, go back to Hong Kong now. Anyway, Pei Hansheng doesn't want me anymore, so let's just die together."

Qiao Jiadong sneered, "If you wanted to die, you would have died at the hands of those people in Hong Kong long ago. You wouldn't have escaped to Beijing in the first place. Pei Hansheng won't treat you badly even if he doesn't want you. This is such a big piece of meat, can you handle it all by yourself without my help?"

Pei Hansheng and Jiang Chunzhi happened to come out of the building and saw Qiao Wan holding a knife and pointing it at someone.

Jiang Chunzhi covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock, "Hansheng, has Mrs. Pei gone mad again? It's one thing to slash you, but how dare she do something like this with a knife downstairs at your company?"

"Is she trying to get your attention by making this scene?"

Pei Hansheng's brows suddenly darkened, a hint of panic flashing across his face.

He practically ran, as swift as a beast darting through the jungle, and snatched the knife from Qiao Wan's hand.

The fear churning in his eyes erupted into a furious roar upon seeing her: "What are you doing with that knife again! You madman!"

Qiao Wan's shoulders trembled as she was yelled at: "There's troublemaker here."

Pei Hansheng then noticed Qiao Jiadong.

"He's causing you trouble?"

"He's asking for money again, don't give it to him."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiao Jiadong wanted to make a quick getaway.

Pei Hansheng called over security: "I've said it before, I'll beat him every time I see him at the company."

Pei's security guards deeply resented Qiao Jiadong. The three members of the Qiao family had caused trouble too many times. For a month, they carried a coffin to the company gate every day, set up a stage, and played funeral music, creating a chaotic atmosphere.

If it weren't for Mrs. Pei's sake, President Pei would have already taken drastic measures.

Qiao Jiadong's body was dragged along the ground.

"Qiao Wan, please say a good word for me, I didn't do anything."

Qiao Wan didn't even glance at him, utterly humiliated.

Pei Hansheng's anger was still burning: "Why didn't you come to find me?"

"You can't go up."

"Why can't we go on?"

"Ms. Rong said that if she sees me step into your company again, you can forget about working here."

Pei Hansheng was so angry his chest ached: "You treat my mother's words like imperial edicts, but I'm just a fart to you? I told you not to touch a knife again, what are you trying to do, Qiao Wan? What are you planning to do with a knife in your bag all the time?!"

Qiao Wan glanced at the man: "It's fake."

Pei Hansheng touched the tip of the knife; the material was still soft, clearly a child's toy.

He laughed jokingly.

"How could you even think of that? Look at all the trouble you've caused me since you came out."

"I haven't caused you any trouble." Qiao Wan licked her lips, sounding somewhat unsure. "Even if I did, it wasn't in your name."

Pei Hansheng couldn't help but argue with her: "You're really capable. You want to go to heaven? Go to heaven then, and my world will be peaceful."

During the worst period of Qiao Wan's depression, she was not allowed to eat fruit in Tan Shu, and she had to rent another villa in the community to cook, only using the kitchen.

Perhaps she scared him away, which is why Pei Hansheng reacted this way.

Qiao Wan sighed, "Even if I don't go to heaven, you'll have peace and quiet. Getting a divorce is a very simple matter."

Pei Hansheng clenched his fist, veins bulging: "How many times do I have to say it? I won't get a divorce. Are you deaf or crazy?"

Qiao Wan frowned: "You're the one who's crazy."

Jiang Chunzhi ran over and hugged Pei Hansheng's fist: "Hansheng, don't hit Mrs. Pei, she's very pitiful."

Pei Hansheng stared intently at Qiao Wan: "Chunzhi is still too kind-hearted; she can't distinguish between pitiful and hateful!"

"Hansheng, ignore her. We still have to film on location. Do you really want to see me dressed so lightly in the cold wind?"

"All I want to do right now is kill her!"

Pei Hansheng turned and walked into the group building, glancing sideways at the security guards and instructing, "Bring this troublemaker to my office."

Qiao Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart sank little by little.

"Qiao Wan, you're really something! I was filming Han Sheng's scene, and you came to cause trouble. You scheming woman!"

Jiang Chunzhi's face was contorted with rage as she ran into her RV, removed her elaborate decorations, and threw them around in a fit of anger.

"Sister Jiang, are we not going to film GG anymore?"

"Go and take Qiao Jiadong to the car. I have something to say."

"Okay, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Chunzhi's fingertips dug into her palm, her knuckles turning bluish-white, and she was almost consumed by the fire of jealousy.

……

This was Qiao Wan's first time visiting Pei Hansheng's office.

She sat on the sofa, the room was warm, and her body was less stiff. She fidgeted with her fingers, looking slightly reserved.

Goldman Sachs brought over hot tea and snacks: "Today is the launch of Juicy's new product. Mr. Pei must be very busy. Mrs. Pei, please have something to warm up first."

"I'd better leave now. Also, don't let the Pei family know I was here."

She couldn't sit still, so she stood up, and Pei Hansheng came in from outside.

He was dressed in a black suit, rarely smiled, and his expression revealed an authority beyond his years.

He looked slightly tired, and a senior executive was with him giving a work report.

He tilted his head back and loosened his tie, looking at Qiao Wan: "What are you standing there for? Take it off."

The executive stopped, looked at Qiao Wan, and subtly hid the surprise on his face.
