Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him

Chapter 800: Chapter 800: Young Master Zhong, He Called You a Wrecked Ship

Pei Qian, upon hearing his command, followed his gaze outside.

He immediately frowned and said unhappily, "How did those two end up together! Are they trying to sabotage your plans, big brother?"

Not far away, Feng Nanxi also wanted to ask this question.

Why did she happen to run into Young Master Zhong!

She had already left after most of the guests, just to avoid this keen-eyed Young Master Zhong, with eyes like a leopard. Her foolish big brother was in a hurry to leave, instructing the driver to drive off.

This left her to walk from the old mansion to the street to hail a cab.

But unexpectedly, a Cullinan stopped beside her, with Young Master Zhong sitting in the back. The car window rolled down, and those eyes, seemingly smiling, fell upon her, looking gentle yet sending a shiver down her spine in broad daylight.

He said, "We meet again."

Feng Nanxi tried to remain calm, softly saying, "What a coincidence, Young Master Zhong."

"Not pretending not to know me this time?"

"Your bold act in the ancestral hall earlier, no one could ignore it, right? Even if I were rude, I would know you’re Young Master Zhong," Feng Nanxi said cautiously.

She couldn’t quite figure out what attitude her real-world identity should have towards Young Master Zhong?

Maybe it should be one of fear and respect.

"Get in the car, it’s hard to get a cab here. Walking to the main road will take at least another hour. Those people seeing you talking to me won’t give you a lift."

Feng Nanxi instinctively wanted to refuse, but then the man said, "Why do I feel like you’re afraid of me?"

What fear!

Feng Nanxi promptly opened the car door and got in.

She sat in the back with this financial backer, clearly able to smell the subtle, refreshing scent on him, like that of aquatic life. It was different from other men who used overpowering colognes.

Zhong Yi softly said, "Someone over there is watching you."

Feng Nanxi turned her head to see that fool Pei Qian, glaring at her as if he’d caught her cheating. Beside him was a more mature man with similar features, Pei Qian’s brother Pei Zheng, who had crossed paths with Zhong Yi earlier in the ancestral hall.

Are they sworn enemies?

As they spoke,

Pei Zheng’s car slowly approached and finally stopped next to the Cullinan.

The two men were only about a meter apart through the car window, and the tension between them was palpable.

Pei Qian couldn’t hold it in and said, "Feng Nanxi, what do you mean, going on a date with me while getting into someone else’s car."

"Idiot."

Feng Nanxi cursed in a low voice.

"What did you say? Are you cursing me? I’m warning you, the Feng Family better not try to have their cake and eat it too. And the boat you’re on is a sinking one!" Pei Qian glanced at Zhong Yi with vigilance and disdain.

Feng Nanxi squeezed over to the car window, disregarding her image, and asked loudly, "Who are you calling a sinking ship?"

"Who else? Are you pretending to be confused?"

"Oh, you’re calling Young Master Zhong a sinking ship." Feng Nanxi looked at Zhong Yi and directly tattled, "Young Master Zhong, he’s calling you a sinking ship."

To see someone tattling so confidently was a first.

"I heard that."

Zhong Yi was a bit helpless, but his face was full of a cheerful smile. His gaze fixed on Pei Qian, causing a cold sweat to form on Pei Qian’s back.

Pei Qian, trying to be bravely, said, "What are you looking at, am I wrong? Just now in the ancestral hall, the Zhong Family announced they’d remove you, you angered the old man so much and still have no remorse! Zhong Yi, you’re not part of the Zhong Family now, let’s see how you survive in the Imperial Capital!"

"How will I survive? Pei Little Master should worry about himself, watch out for any sneak attacks while walking around the Imperial Capital these days!"

"Zhong Yi, are you threatening me? Don’t let me catch you!"

Pei Qian was both cowardly and fierce, trying to show the Pei Family’s might in front of Zhong Yi, yet afraid of Zhong Yi’s methods.

"Heh."

Zhong Yi chuckled mockingly, "Pei Eldest Master, your brother’s quite interesting. If the Pei Family were all like him, the future would indeed be bleak."

Pei Qian’s head practically stuck out of the car window, and he shouted angrily, "Zhong Yi, what do you mean? Are you calling me stupid? I..."

Pei Zheng pulled his collar back, warning, "Don’t embarrass yourself!"

"I..."

Pei Qian retracted his head into the car.

Pei Zheng looked at Zhong Yi, feeling more and more that agreeing to Zhong Lingxiao’s Thirteen Bay docks matter was a mistake.

He had brought upon himself a formidable enemy.

But with the Zhong Family in chaos, the Pei Family would have many opportunities.

It’s not all bad.

"Zhong Yi, I’m waiting for your move," Pei Zheng declared.

He would even help Zhong Lingxiao pin Zhong Yi down, ensuring he couldn’t rise again.

"Alright."

Zhong Yi placed his hand casually on the car window, eyes with a smile, "By the way, forgot to remind you. The ten million bet Pei Little Master placed is bound to go down the drain."

With a light tap of his finger, Wan Jiang revved up the car and zoomed away.

Ten million? What ten million?

Pei Zheng turned to Pei Qian, "What’s this ten million he’s talking about?"

Pei Qian was extremely nervous.

"I... I placed a bet. Someone opened a betting pool on who would win the heir position between Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao. But with today’s incident, the pool is temporarily closed without settling, waiting for the final outcome."

The house said the old man’s words weren’t definitive, and they needed to see the outcome of the Zhong Family’s internal strife.

Once the dust settled, they’d tally it up.

They were also watching the Zhong Family drama, so they hadn’t pressed for debts.

"Where did the ten million come from?" The Pei Family was frugal, using resources judiciously, not wasting casually.

"Mom gave it to me. I said I wanted to start a business with friends, and she... gave it to me." Pei Qian’s voice grew smaller, guilty.

The youngest son, the elder’s precious grandson.

Madam Pei doted on the youngest, the eldest being too mature to let her enjoy motherhood. Instead, the younger was naive and adorable, constantly by her side, making her very fond.

These supplementary allowances happened frequently. noveldrama

But such a large amount, it was a first.

Pei Zheng slapped him on the face: "You wasteful son! I truly think your name was wrongly given!"

Pei Qian, the profligate.

Doesn’t sound good.

Pei Qian clutched his cheek, sniffling.

"Big brother, I won’t dare anymore! I’ll listen to everything you say from now on!"

"In a few days, go to the Feng Family to propose, finalize the engagement. Pei Qian, I’m not negotiating with you. Zhong Yi and Feng Nanxi getting close, perhaps they’re trying to sabotage my plans, I can’t let him succeed!"

Pei Qian couldn’t refuse, could only accept in silence.

Meanwhile.

In the speeding car.

Zhong Yi propped his head with one hand, leaning against the car window. His affectionate gaze roamed over Feng Nanxi, making her skin crawl.

She asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhong Yi suddenly leaned over.
