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

Dongshan Manor is located in a hillside villa area, occupying a prime location in Beijing. Du Yi drove Qiao Wan there.

Du Yi had a sharp eye and spotted Pei Hansheng's car immediately.

"Sister Qiao, is Mr. Pei here tonight too?"

Qiao Wan glanced over and saw that Jiang Chunzhi was getting out of the passenger seat, arm in arm with Pei Hansheng. The two were dressed in elegant suits, and from a distance, their backs looked like a perfect match.

Jiang Chunzhi raised her chin, her eyes brimming with laughter, and said to the man in front of her, "Hansheng, Mr. Dolly is my cousin's guest and business partner. I specifically asked my cousin to organize this party for you tonight. With my help, you'll definitely be able to finalize the betting agreement with the hotel."

If Pei Hansheng can increase Meimomeier's revenue by 20% within three years, then his two cousins ​​will obediently step down.

As the three-year agreement nears its end, the two sides are still vying for dominance, with Pei Hansheng holding a slight edge. If he can secure a partnership with Mr. Dolly, the father of Oriental Hotels, it will undoubtedly propel Meimomeier to the next level.

Pei Hansheng lowered his eyes, a smile playing on his deep gaze, and chatted and laughed with Jiang Chunzhi as they entered the manor.

Du Yi touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, and secretly glanced at Qiao Wan.

"Um... Sister Qiao, is it alright for you to go in alone?"

Qiao Wan looked around and realized that most of the people attending the party were in pairs. An Leyi hadn't mentioned bringing a male companion, but she couldn't find anyone willing to participate in such an event with her.

"Why not? Who said singles can't come in? You can wait outside. I don't think you'll be here for long."

Qiao Wan stepped into the manor, where An Leyi had chosen a French velvet dress for her, with a fur-trimmed shawl over it, which suited her cool and gentle temperament perfectly.

Among the crowd were some familiar faces, and some people whistled mischievously when they saw her arrive.

"Look over there, the socialite from Hong Kong is here! Everyone, give her a warm welcome!"

Pei Hansheng was entertaining guests, chatting and laughing, with a confident and composed demeanor on his face. But when his gaze turned to Qiao Wan, his eyes turned cold in an instant.

He put down his wine glass, walked closer to Qiao Wan, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her aside.

"Didn't I tell you you're not allowed to participate in activities of this kind of circle?"

"I have an invitation, why can't I come?"

Pei Hansheng's face was cold and frosty, devoid of any emotion.

"Consider your place. There's no need to force yourself into circles you can't fit into. Go home and don't embarrass yourself in public."

Qiao Wan curled her lips into a cold smile, finally revealing her true feelings.

"If you think I'm a disgrace, then get a divorce."

Pei Hansheng stared at her, his anger surging. He hoisted her onto his shoulder and said, "It's pointless to say things like that too often out of spite. Let's go home now, and I'll deal with you when I'm done with my work."

Qiao Wan struggled, kicking wildly at him with her two slender and beautiful legs. She even lost one of her high heels, which Pei Hansheng picked up and slapped hard on her buttocks.

"What are you going to do next? You've completely disgraced me."

Qiao Wan felt terrible; in Pei Hansheng's heart, she was so worthless.

Looking up, they were already exposed to the public eye.

"Pei Hansheng, let me go! Don't make me hate you!"

"Hate me if you can hate me for a lifetime, that's quite an achievement."

More and more people gathered around, their astonishment and bewilderment replaced by an incredulous silence.

Qiao Wan panicked and just then saw Fu Yuanzhou coming in from outside: "Big brother, help! Pei Hansheng is going to kill someone!"

Fu Yuanzhou heard the noise and strode over: "Hansheng, why are you bullying Xiaowan again? Put her down right now."

A chilling glint flashed in Pei Hansheng's eyes: "Fu Yuanzhou! I've put up with you for too long. From now on, mind your own business and stop interfering in other people's affairs, or I'll beat you up too."

"Crazy." Fu Yuanzhou glanced at Pei Hansheng with disdain, then grabbed Qiao Wan's arm: "Xiao Wan, don't be afraid, I'll back you up. We won't spoil him."

Taking advantage of the tug-of-war between the two, Qiao Wan jumped off Pei Hansheng, pushed him away forcefully, and hid behind Fu Yuanzhou.

Pei Hansheng narrowed his eyes, shooting out two sharp, blade-like beams of cold light.

"Qiao Wan, come here."

Fu Yuanzhou raised his arm: "Xiao Wan, if you don't want to go, then don't go."

The situation remains deadlocked.

The melodious sound of a piano began to play, and everyone's gaze followed that direction.

Jiang Chunzhi and the piano descended from the sky, and the elevator slowly placed her on the ground.

The lights dimmed, and a single spotlight shone on her. She was dressed in a gorgeous gown and looked at the audience.

"Wedding in a Dream" is my favorite piano piece. I played it many times for someone who promised to give me a wedding in a dream, but he broke his promise, and my dream from my teenage years was shattered.

Her words were so moving that they drew everyone's attention.

Everyone knows who that person is, and everyone has witnessed that childhood sweetheart relationship.

They lamented the fragility of beauty and the brevity of youth, so they imprinted them as eternal. At this point, Qiao Wan became an unwelcome third party.

So what if she's Mrs. Pei? Pei Hansheng doesn't love her, and even her extramarital affair is explained in a way that's both elegant and unconventional.

Qiao Wan chuckled and walked towards Jiang Chunzhi, picking up a bottle of red wine from the waiter's tray.

Before anyone could react, she poured the red wine onto the piano, and then splashed the last bit onto Jiang Chunzhi's face.

"what!"

Jiang Chunzhi's eyes stung from the alcohol, and she covered them with her hand, but the piano music continued to play.

Qiao Wan scoffed disdainfully, "Fake bullets, how disgusting."

The elders of the Jiang family looked over, and their faces turned extremely ugly.

The Jiang family hates Qiao Wan to the core. She dares to show up here tonight, acting crazy and throwing a tantrum. She's had enough of living.

Pei Hansheng strode over, took off his suit jacket and draped it over Jiang Chunzhi, then bent down to examine her eyes, which were swollen.

"Qiao Wan, apologize to Chun Zhi!"

Whenever the three of them were together, Pei Hansheng would always stand against Qiao Wan and criticize her. Qiao Wan was disappointed time and time again, and she still felt very heartbroken.

Apologize? Fine, hasn't she apologized enough?

She grabbed Jiang Chunzhi's hand, yanked it sharply, and slapped her across the face.

Before Pei Hansheng could stop her, Jiang Chunzhi's face was slapped several more times by Qiao Wan, and it swelled up instantly.

Pei Hansheng said angrily, "Qiao Wan! Do you know what you're doing? You've become completely unreasonable."

Qiao Wan sneered, rolling her eyes at him: "Didn't you ask me to apologize? This is how I apologize."

"When I ask you to apologize, you either kneel down or hit me. Haven't you learned how to say 'sorry'? You're crazy!"

"Do you dare to announce to everyone right now that you're divorcing this lunatic?"

Pei Hansheng raised his eyes, glanced at the Jiang family members who had rushed over, grabbed her wrist, and roared, "Qiao Wan, I think you're tired of living. I'm going to deal with you now for Chunzhi's sake!"

Qiao Wan was dragged away from the manor by Pei Hansheng, who grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Chunzhi lifted her skirt and chased after him: "Hansheng, you can't leave. Mr. Dolly is still waiting for you."

Pei Hansheng seemed not to hear, and was about to go crazy with anger. He shoved Qiao Wan into the car, put his hands on her waist, held her on his lap, and kissed her fiercely.

Jiang Chunzhi was pounding on the car window from outside, and all she could hear was the sound of spitting and Qiao Wan angrily shouting, "Pei Hansheng, you beast, I hate you!"

Pei Hansheng laughed coldly, his teeth clenched with a helpless grit: "I love you, I love you to death, Qiao Wan, I really want to strangle you right now."

Then came the sound of the two kissing again, intense and urgent, as if he really wanted to swallow Qiao Wan whole.

Jiang Chunzhi stood outside, her face contorted in agony in the car window. A fire burned in her heart, threatening to consume her...
