Chapter 100 The whole story of Pei Lie’s birthday

Shi Wan was frightened by Mr. Yuan's majesty and became obedient. He sat down on the other side and carefully straightened his messy collar.

It feels like meeting the emperor in ancient times, where one had to be cautious in what one said and did.

Old Yuan glanced at her cautiousness at the moment, and there was a hint of kindness in his eyes.

The moment Shi Wan raised his eyes, his serious face returned to normal.

"Excuse me, do you have something to discuss with me?" Shi Wan asked cautiously.

Instead of turning off the sound insulation or opening the partition, Mr. Yuan said to the driver in the front seat, "Turn off the dashcam."

The middle-aged driver quickly turned off the dashcam and got out of the car consciously.

Shi Wan and Yuan Lao were the only ones left in the car.

Shi Wan sat upright, feeling as if she was given some huge task.

After the driver and the men in black were away from the car, Yuan Lao spoke up, "Have you had contact with Pei Cheng?"

Shi Wan was stunned, nodded, and hurriedly explained: "I am not from the Jin Pei School!"

Yuan Lao pulled the corner of his mouth slightly and asked again: "Do you know what he does?"

Shi Wan did not answer. It seemed that Mr. Yuan's question was not about Pei Cheng's specific work, but about Pei Cheng's hidden abilities.

Old Yuan did not wait for Shi Wan's answer and said slowly, "When Zhan Xu was eighteen years old, he officially promised in the Zhan's Ancestral Hall that he would never inherit the Zhan Group."

Shi Wan was stunned and unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.

"It seems like you almost know the inside story."

Shi Wan nodded with a stiff neck.

"If he was just an ordinary character, I wouldn't come to you. But from the official business war between the three companies to now, Zhan Xu's ability is obvious to all. His father can't convince him or order him, so I have to convince you."

Shi Wan was puzzled, even bewildered, what was Zhan Xu's ability?

She looked at Mr. Yuan blankly.

Elder Yuan did not explain the confusion in her eyes, but talked about another topic: "You know about Pei Cheng's curse on you, right?"

Hatred and sadness flashed in Shi Wan's eyes; her eyes turned red from exerting too much force. She lowered her head again, her gaze falling on the foot pad.

Elder Yuan's eyes flashed with distress. He coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and continued, "I learned from Pei Cheng the cause and effect of the poison on you. Do you want to listen?"

Shi Wan shook his head, his voice dry: "I don't want to listen, I know."

"But I want you to know the whole story." Mr. Yuan's words were unquestionable.

Shi Wan lowered her head even more resignedly. She guessed why he was looking for her.

He wanted her to give up Zhan Xu. She had already given up, hadn't she? Why was he trying to convince her?

She thought so in her heart, but Shi Wan knew that she was not determined. Even when Ning Yuze threatened her today to attend his homecoming party, she knew that Ning Yuze would never really tell Zhan Xu, but when she thought about meeting Zhan Xu, she pretended to be threatened and pretended to compromise.

Actually, I just want to see you.

She didn't know where this sudden and fierce love came from, but even if she just saw him, she was satisfied.

Old Yuan glanced at the depressed Shi Wan, and a look of heartache flashed in his eyes.

He coughed again, shifted his gaze, and continued, "This Gu is an obedient Gu. This kind of Gu appeared once more than 20 years ago, and there was no solution that time. This time, Pei Cheng cultivated a pair of Gu worms, which were cultivated in the form of love Gu. He originally prepared it for Zhan Nanyi. Under the instructions of the elders of the Pei family, for the development of the Pei family, they tried to gain benefits from the Zhan family by restraining Zhan Nanyi. But you protected Zhan Nanyi."

Shi Wan trembled all over and she regretted it.

"You swore that you would come to Pei Cheng the next day, but Pei Cheng didn't believe you, so he planted one of the poisonous insects in your body. If you didn't come the next day, he would activate the other poisonous insect and let the one in your body eat your heart, making you feel miserable. But you were already in love at that time, so when the poisonous insect reached your heart, you fainted due to the unbearable pain."

Did she fall in love at that time?

Old Yuan went on to say, "When Zhan Xu rushed to Pei Cheng's yard, you had already fainted. Seeing that Pei admitted that he had poisoned the wrong person, the Pei family did not dare to make any more requests. They just felt that you had wasted a poisonous insect that Pei Cheng had carefully cultivated for many years. After everyone left, Zhan Xu unexpectedly told Pei Cheng that he was willing to accept all of Pei Cheng's requests as long as he could save you."

Shi Wan was trembling all over, she knew everything! Why did she need to emphasize again how much Zhan Xu loved her? !

"Pei Cheng originally wanted to see if you would keep your promise, but when he saw Zhan Xu's solemn promise, he became even more curious. He wanted to know to what extent one person could sacrifice for another person, and also wanted to see how Zhan Xu would look when he came to beg him for mercy in the future. Pei Cheng then told Zhan Xu the effects of the Gu worms."

"They restrain each other. If one does not listen to the other, the disobedient one will experience heart-wrenching pain. They are cultivated in the form of love insects, so once they fall in love, they will experience heart-wrenching pain."

Old Yuan looked at Shi Wan again, "Do you know why you are only beginning to feel pain now?"

Isn't it because of her that I fell in love with her?

Old Yuan understood the answer in Shi Wan's eyes and shook his head with a smile.

"The worms in your body can remain dormant because they are nourished by Zhan Xu's love. This is also the effect of the love poison. The worms eat the heart, and they want to drink the heart's blood. Pei Cheng took Zhan Xu's heart's blood and cast a spell. This means that Zhan Xu endured double the pain of eating the heart to keep you from feeling pain for so many years."

Shi Wan curled up the corners of her mouth inexplicably. In fact, it was not that the pain was gone, but that she was in pain every moment. It was just that Zhan Xu bore the pain that she should bear.

"Then why does it hurt when we meet?" Shi Wan asked in a hoarse voice.

If not seeing each other would be painful and heartbreaking, then what's the point of her running away?

"The love is too strong, the bugs are active, so it will naturally hurt more than usual."

Shi Wan felt a choking sensation in his chest, and he struggled to squeeze out a few words: "What about Zhan Xu?"

What about Zhan Xu? He was already suffering from the double pain of nourishment, and seeing her again, then...

Old Yuan raised his hand slightly, trying to stroke her back and soothe her heartache, but he put his hand down without making a sound.

"Only he knows."

"I just want to know, how long can he live?" Shi Wan said while gasping for air, as if he was almost unable to breathe.

It seemed as if Mr. Yuan had anticipated this situation. He took out a paper bag and covered Shi Wan's face with it.

Shi Wan seemed to have lost his way of breathing and just gasped into the paper bag.

It is said that crying too much can cause respiratory alkalosis, but Shi Wan didn't cry at all and still experienced this.

Old Yuan saw that she opened her mouth wide, breathing with difficulty, and her beautiful eyes were wide open, but her eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

Elder Yuan did not forget the original intention of coming to find Shi Wan. He said slowly: "If you are willing to bear his pain and never see him again, he can live to the end of his life, but you..."

Mr. Yuan couldn't help but choked up and immediately looked away.
