CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 21: THERE’S A WILD MUSTANG IN THAT WOMAN’S BONES

Pei Nianchen flicked the ash from his cigarette and looked coldly at Qin Xueyao, "You should know, if it weren’t for discovering you were pregnant with my child, I would have taken your life after you schemed against me."

Yes, indeed, when he woke up and found her lying in his bed, his first reaction was to pick her up and slap her hard several times. If it weren’t for Ye Zhilin arriving at the hotel just in time, she wouldn’t have made it.

Qin Xueyao lowered her head, clutching tightly at the hem of her dress, her face turning an instant shade of pale.

When Gu Jiayin returned, Pei Nianchen completely lost control, not even the child could hold him back.

Sure enough, the words Qin Xueyao feared most were spoken by Pei Nianchen, "I’ll give you two options: one, go in now and get rid of the child, and you can name any price. Two, have the child and leave it to the Pei Family to raise, but I won’t acknowledge it, nor will I have anything more to do with you."

Qin Xueyao bit her lower lip hard, even leaving deep marks on her red lips. She didn’t want to choose either of the two options. She wasn’t short of money; she just wanted the status of being Young Madam Pei, so she couldn’t abort this child.

However, if she gave birth and Pei Nianchen didn’t acknowledge it, then she couldn’t become Young Madam Pei.

She shouted at Pei Nianchen in near madness, "Pei Nianchen, what does Gu Jiayin have that’s so great that you’d be so heartless? For her, you even refuse your own child?"

Pei Nianchen remained indifferent, still expressionless, "For her, I could even let go of my life, so don’t waste your efforts."

"No, I won’t abort the child. I want to marry you; I want to be Young Madam Pei!"

Pei Nianchen laughed sarcastically, "This is your true aim, isn’t it? All that talk about loving me was just an excuse."

He suddenly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door, and dragged Qin Xueyao out, "Go get rid of the child now, you can earn a considerable amount of money. If you wear down my patience, you won’t get a penny."

Qin Xueyao desperately clung to the car door, "No, I won’t go."

But her strength was like a piece of thin paper compared to Pei Nianchen’s. With a slight force, he lifted her up and dragged her toward the hospital.

"Help, help!" Qin Xueyao screamed desperately.

Being a big star, she immediately attracted a lot of onlookers, and soon the crowd surrounded the two. Even reporters with cameras squeezed in.

These reporters were pre-arranged by Qin Xueyao, originally intending for them to secretly take some photos of her with Pei Nianchen to convey to the outside world that her position as Young Madam Pei was secure. But who knew things would suddenly turn out like this.

In desperate need of help, she cried to the crowd, "You all help me, that bitch Gu Jiayin bewitched Nianchen, forcing him to make me abort the child. I’m a mother, I love my child, I don’t want to abort it."

Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, her acting skills were commendable, playing the role of a poor woman whose fiancé was taken away and who was being forced to have an abortion to the utmost.

The crowd erupted into an uproar, angrily condemning Gu Jiayin, and also labeling Pei Nianchen as a scumbag for being irresponsible. The reporters seized the moment, taking photos, interviewing, and publishing stories, blocking Pei Nianchen from leaving.

Following yesterday, the internet continued to rage on, and the name Gu Jiayin became even more synonymous with "vixen," drawing torrents of verbal abuse.

Pei Nianchen initially intended to swiftly resolve the matter with Qin Xueyao and cut ties cleanly, but unexpectedly, this new wave of public opinion arose, causing him frustration as he tried to leave, but the human sea blocked all escape. Ultimately, he had to call in the SWAT team to disperse the crowd.

...

Sheng Building, CEO’s office.

Sheng Qianchi sat in a broad, luxurious office chair, dressed in a black suit, resembling a deep and elegant king. The fine sunlight spilled across the floor, gilding him and everything else with a golden outline.

His fingers moved elegantly across the phone screen, his brow slightly furrowed, clearly displeased.

To be precise, since he heard last night that Gu Jiayin had accepted Pei Nianchen again, he had been displeased.

Mo Jun stood respectfully by, waiting for instructions.

Sheng Qianchi browsed through the news and then put down his phone, coldly asking, "Where is she?"

Mo Jun, "Miss Gu went to Blue Night."

Blue Night, Licheng City’s most mysterious and luxurious entertainment club, one of the iconic places for upper-class leisure.

Sheng Qianchi raised an eyebrow and mockingly laughed to himself, "With such a tarnished reputation, and she still has the mood to go to Blue Night."

Mo Jun, "Young Master Chi, should we suppress the news now?"

"No need." He was waiting for her to come to him; otherwise, she would never take notice of him.

Mo Jun worried about Sheng Qianchi’s indifferent nature, "But... if Pei Nianchen suppresses it first, then..."

Then wouldn’t Miss Gu have a better relationship with Pei Nianchen?

"Ha!" Sheng Qianchi sneered, his expression lazy but somehow cold, "Pei Nianchen himself is just barely making it."

He had to first deal with his rigid and stubborn father.

Mo Jun, "According to information, Miss Gu signed up to participate in the Wine Tasting Competition hosted by the Licheng City Wine Merchants Association today, she seems to want to work at Twilight."

Sheng Qianchi’s eyebrows suddenly knitted together, deep in thought.

Gu Jiayin wanting to work at Twilight should aim for a managerial position, which would allow her to engage in decision-making and even regain control of Twilight. Why apply as a wine taster?

While pondering, the desk phone rang.

"Young Master Chi, Miss Qin wants to see you, she’s waiting downstairs."

Sheng Qianchi considered for two seconds, his expression indifferent, "Let her come up."

...

In the past, Qin Yishu frequently visited Sheng Family as Sheng Qianchi’s fiancée, and the reception staff never dared block her, but now that Sheng Qianchi had canceled the engagement, the reception didn’t dare to let her through rashly.

Qin Yishu felt greatly wronged, cast a cold glance at the reception staff, and strode into the elevator in high heels.

Her appearance today was a bit disheveled. To make Sheng Qianchi see Gu Jiayin’s unruly and uncultured nature, her hair, which was cut by Gu Jiayin last night, remained the same, and there were still red marks on her cheeks that hadn’t faded.

She reached the top floor, pushed open the CEO’s office door, immediately squeezed out tears of grievance, her voice tender and charming, "Qianchi."

Mo Jun turned and saw Qin Yishu’s appearance, couldn’t help but gape in surprise, then thought of something, laughed to himself, politely nodded, and retreated.

Once the office door was closed, Sheng Qianchi leisurely lifted his gaze from the document, casually glanced at Qin Yishu, but his eyelids barely fell for half a second before rising again, his eyes fixed on her face.

Looking at her, a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He even wondered how Gu Jiayin managed to slap Qin Yishu and then arrogantly cut off her long hair.

Ha, interesting, the woman had a wild horse living within her.
