Chapter 52 Who do you think you are?
When the footsteps came, the man was still lying on the sofa pretending to be drunk, and he didn't know who came in. The next second, his collar was pulled up by someone. The force made him unable to react in time, and he was dragged half a meter on the ground like a dead fish. Only then did he realize the danger and quickly opened his eyes, his face turned pale in an instant, "Pei, Pei Shao——"

I don't know why this person came. I felt so guilty that I couldn't even force a smile.

Pei Yu sat on the coffee table, his long legs bent and stretched, the tip of his shoe right under the man's eyes. He raised his eyebrows, a smile on the corner of his lips, and asked in a lazy and casual manner, "Do you have a cigarette?"

Not knowing what he meant, the man knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up. He felt his pocket in a panic, handed the cigarette to him, and offered to light it for him.

The fire flickered, and the faint smell of tobacco filled the air. Pei Yu bit his cigarette and said nonchalantly, "It's been seven years since we last met. You've become estranged from me."

The family had frequent contacts and they often met when they were young. However, after Pei Yu became an adult, he went from being a young master with no status to Mr. Pei and Mr. Pei. The gap between him and these people suddenly became a chasm, and even meeting each other became a luxury.

Thinking that he wanted to reminisce about the past, the man was surprised and delighted, and kept denying, "How could that be possible? I—ah!"

The cigarette butt pressed against the back of his hand, and the words were suddenly cut off. He didn't dare to hide, and trembled with fear, and couldn't speak clearly.

Pei Yu raised his eyelids, his pupils were dark, and there was no smile on his face. He raised his eyebrows slightly, showing his arrogance, and said in a soft and slow tone, "No difference? I think you have long forgotten what kind of person I am."

The man was shaking with pain and dared not play dumb anymore. "Mr. Pei, don't bother with me. I was drunk and talking nonsense. I just said it all nonsense. I apologize. I can apologize to Miss Shen!"

Pei Yu was indifferent, "Say what you said to her again, don't miss a word."

Wouldn't it be courting death to say those words again? Sweating like rain, he wanted to hide it, but he didn't dare. He knew what would happen if he lied to Pei Yu again, so he had to grit his teeth and repeat it word by word, without the arrogance he had before.

As he finished repeating his words, the cigarette went out, leaving only specks of ash. Pei Yu stood up, remained silent for a moment, tilted his head and smiled inexplicably, unbuttoned his cuffs, "I, Pei Yu, am willing to be the one who stays alone in the empty room, let her accompany you..."

The bottle of wine that Shen Zhiyi had touched at the corner of the table was raised again. As Pei Yu raised his hand, it hit the man's head with a "bang", and fragments flew everywhere. Pei Yu wiped the wine that splashed on his face with the back of his hand, his eyes extremely cold, and kicked him hard.

"Who do you think you are?"

He grabbed the man's collar with one hand, his bloody face was covered with broken glass, and he wailed in fear. Pei Yu kicked him with all his strength, breaking his ribs. The pain made him sweat all over.

"Remember this," Pei Yu said calmly, "Let everyone know why you offended me. If someone like you appears again, you don't have to stay here anymore, understand?"

To make an example of someone, he didn't mind pulling out these wild weeds with his own hands.

After walking some distance, Shen Zhiyi looked back with some concern, wondering what Pei Yu was going to do in there. The room was soundproofed, so he should not have heard what the drunkard said.

Qin Xiaoran was still apologizing beside her. She didn't know Zhao Shu dared to go crazy and make trouble in her place. Her dissatisfaction was evident in her words, "...I didn't see her being so obsessed with Pei Yu before. Who knows why she suddenly became so abnormal."

She looked at Shen Zhiyi's face carefully, "Sister Zhiyi, are you very angry with her?"

After all, it was her fault as the host who did not provide good hospitality. Qin Xiaoran was afraid that Pei Yu would go after her brother when he found out, and Qin Fang would then quarrel with her again.

This could be considered as a disguised way of pleading for Zhao Shu. After years of friendship, if Pei Yu got angry because of this, the whole Zhao family would be in trouble. To be honest, no one could withstand Pei Yu's anger. In the entire Pei family, he was the one most like Pei's father. He was even more ruthless than Pei's father, otherwise he would not have been able to reach this position.

Shen Zhiyi's thoughts were pulled back, and she didn't say anything that she didn't mind. The fact was that Zhao Shu's words did have a great impact on her, although in the final analysis it might not be Zhao Shu's fault.

She was absent-minded and understood why Qin Xiaoran specifically brought this up. "I won't tell Pei Yu."

Is this a good thing? Why should I tell Pei Yu?

Let Pei Yu support her - this idea made Shen Zhiyi laugh and feel sad. She actually knew that Zhao Shu did not say anything wrong.

Pei Yu arrived late when Qin Xiaoran started cutting the birthday cake. He took a glass of wine from the bar. At the same time, he put his arm around Shen Zhiyi's waist and sipped the wine quietly.

"What did you do in the box?"

Shen Zhiyi looked up at him and noticed that he was not wearing a tie. Looking more closely, it seemed that he had changed his shirt as well. He was not sure if he was being overly suspicious.

Pei Yu looked at her without avoiding her, lowered his eyes, and gently swirled the red wine in the glass. He asked slowly, "What did you do in the box?"

Not wanting to mention unpleasant things to him, and the crazy drunkard reminded her of things she didn't want to recall, Shen Zhiyi avoided his sight and reached for the wine glass in his hand, "Just drink some wine."

Pei Yu raised the wine glass to prevent her from touching it. He still looked at her with a slightly cold gaze and asked directly, "You haven't been bullied?"

Shen Zhiyi was stunned, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, she pursed her lips and still denied, "No."

She pretended to be relaxed and asked, "Why do you ask?"

Did he guess it? There was no trace of anyone in the box except a drunkard. It was impossible for that person to be drunk and go crazy with him. I don't know why he could guess it. Was it because her face was too ugly at that time?
It's ridiculous that an actor can't even control his expression.

Pei Yu drank the wine in one gulp without saying a word.

When she opened the door, she looked frightened, angry and flustered, but she was holding back, as if anyone who saw it would look down on her. It was too familiar, so familiar that it made his heart palpitate.

I don't want to force her, but her deliberate concealment is really hateful. I can't help but wonder, will she also hide it from Huo Heng? Will she find Huo Heng to vent her anger after being wronged?
The more you think about it, the more you compare, the more jealous you become.

The more I feel I am insignificant in her heart.

"Why do you have a small wound on your neck?"

Noticing the small red cut on his neck, Shen Zhiyi opened her eyes wide in shock. Confirming that she was not mistaken, she reached out to touch it and frowned, "How did you do that?"

Pei Yu looked indifferent. He pushed her hand away and pressed the wound casually, as if he didn't feel any pain. His fingertips were stained with blood, but he didn't care and wiped it off with a tissue. "I don't know."

do not know?
It was obvious that he was hiding it from her on purpose.

Shen Zhiyi noticed it and fell silent as well.
