Chapter 31 Just Come Back Late

Mao Yuzhen and her daughter were both stunned when they heard the name. Is it Pei Cheng from the Pei family?

Shi Xinyan shouted, "Stop bluffing! Do you really think that just because you're a classmate of Pei Lie, you can be connected with the people of the three major families? Apart from that nobody Zhan Xu, who else can you rely on?"

Pei Cheng listened to the whole thing and said softly, "Wanwan is back?"

"Wanwan is back!" Shi Wan said it on purpose. She was very coquettish in front of Pei Cheng, but she seldom called herself Wanwan.

Pei Cheng's pale face showed a beautiful yet somewhat sad smile. He coughed lightly and said, "When will Wanwan come to see brother?"

"immediately!"

Hearing Shi Wan's energetic voice, Pei Cheng smiled even more, and his pale face seemed to have more color.

"Okay, I'll send you the address."

"I'll bring good tea for my brother!" Shi Wan paused, hung up the phone, turned around and jumped back, saying to Butler Wu: "Grandpa Butler, I want the best tea in the house as a gift!"

Her back was straight and her expression was quite proud.

Butler Wu's eyes reddened. He had stayed here for so many years, as if waiting for the title "Uncle Butler".

Butler Wu didn't let anyone see his sentimentality and turned to go to the storage room where the tea was kept.

Shi Xinyan stared with her eyes wide open. She had never heard that Shi Wan had any relationship with Pei Cheng, but even if she had a relationship with Pei Cheng, so what? Pei Cheng, like Zhan Xu, was an abandoned child in the family!

"You are only fit to be with these losers! Even if Pei Cheng is a genius, so what? Even if the Pei family gives him face, he is still a nerd who dares not go out! He only dares to hide at home and feel sad! You only dare to use his name to scare me! Do you think I am afraid?"

"Loser?" Shi Wan's expression suddenly became stern.

She could accept anyone saying that Zhan Xu was an abandoned child of the family, because Zhan Xu himself didn't care.

But she couldn't accept anyone slandering Pei Cheng, even if what they said was the truth!

She walked over with firm steps.

Mao Yuzhen protected Shi Xinyan behind her. Knowing Shi Wan's pain point, she added: "Wanwan, what Yanyan said is not entirely true..."

"Snapped!"

Shi Wan’s slap fell heavily.

Mao Yuzhen was so stunned that she even forgot to cry or act.

When Shi Xinyan heard how loud the slap was, she immediately came over to slap Shi Wan.

Shi Wan raised his hand to slap Shi Xinyan's hand. Almost at the same time, another loud slap sounded: "Pa!"

The murderous look in Shi Wan's eyes was something Mao Yuzhen had never seen before. Mao Yuzhen truly felt that her life was threatened.

Shi Xinyan was still trying to resist, but Shi Zhenqiang's voice came from upstairs: "What are you doing again?!"

Shi Xinyan immediately cried out in grievance: "Dad! Shi Wan not only beat me, but also beat my mom!"

Shi Zhenqiang looked at Shi Wan coldly, gritting his teeth and scolding: "You've revealed your true nature again, haven't you? You've only been back for two days, and I just want my family to be more peaceful?"

Shi Wan raised his eyes and looked at Shi Zhenqiang who was furious.

Shi Zhenqiang was startled by the coldness in her eyes.

Shi Wan held back from preaching. She wanted to ask, who was responsible for the unrest in this family?

But she knew that if she talked back, Shi Zhenqiang's heart would lean towards Mao Yuzhen and her daughter, so she closed her mouth and just said, "Dad, trouble comes from the mouth. Who is Mao Xinyan? How dare she chew Pei Cheng's tongue. I'm helping you save this family."

Shi Zhenqiang's whole body trembled, as if he was frightened. He pointed at Mao Yuzhen and her daughter, and tried his best to lower his voice but angrily cursed: "You are crazy! If you want to die, don't drag down our Shi family! Pei Cheng, how dare you talk about it?"

Seeing Shi Zhenqiang's nervous look, Mao Yuzhen and her daughter realized the seriousness of the situation. Although they didn't know why Pei Cheng, a man who never appeared in public, made Shi Zhenqiang so scared, Mao Yuzhen was a person who knew the times.

Mao Yuzhen apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, I didn't discipline her well enough. I will never do such a stupid thing again."

At this time, Butler Wu took out the best West Lake Longjing tea in the house.

Shi Wan took a look and knew the price of the tea. If this tea was the most expensive tea in the house, then the family was really short of money.

Butler Wu had been in charge of the household for so many years that he could naturally understand Shi Wan's expression and said, "After all, it's for Master Pei Cheng. How about I send someone to buy it right away?"

Shi Wan took the tea leaves and said, "It's okay. Brother Pei Cheng won't mind even if I send him an apple."

She was showing off again.

"Are you going to see Pei Cheng?" Shi Zhenqiang, who was outside the study on the second floor, couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Yeah." Shi Wan responded lightly.

"When did you become so familiar with Pei Cheng? Will he meet you?"

"There are so many things you don't know." Shi Wan was too lazy to explain, so he took the car keys and left home.

Shi Wan drove to a villa on Peijia Mountain. The style of the villa was like that of Jay Chou's "William's Castle", a bit eerie and chilling.

Shi Wan got out of the car, and before she pressed the doorbell, the wooden door slowly opened automatically.

As the door opened, Pei Cheng, dressed in white and with long black hair, came into view. He was sitting in a wheelchair.

Shi Wan opened his mouth slightly and the smile on his face froze.

Pei Cheng did not move forward. He just sat there, smiling warmly and looking at her quietly.

After a long while, Shi Wan finally regained his breath, strode forward, squatted in front of him, looked up and asked him: "Who did this?"

In Shi Wan's consciousness, Pei Cheng has always been isolated from the world and no one can hurt him at all.

Under the moonlight, Pei Cheng's face glowed white, and Shi Wan's eyes were filled with heartache. "Have you had a hard time these years?"

She lowered her voice, feeling that if she spoke loudly at this moment it would scatter Pei Cheng's soul.

A gust of wind blew away the petals on the pear tree, and they fell on Shi Wan and Pei Cheng's heads and bodies.

Pei Cheng smiled and raised his hand to pick the petals on her head, "Just come back Wanwan."

After he said this, he started coughing, but his body seemed unable to withstand such violent coughing. It felt like if he continued coughing, his body would fall apart.

Shi Wan quickly stood up, pushed his wheelchair, and walked into the villa that looked like an ancient castle.

Just like the yard before, there was a strong smell of disinfectant and medicine, but Pei Cheng was not like that at that time.

Pei Cheng now gives people a sense of absolute beauty, like a fairy descending to earth, but his body seems to be very weak, so weak that he may die at any time.

At first glance, Pei Cheng looked like a savage who didn't know how to take care of himself. Although he also had long hair, it was messy and had no aesthetic appeal at that time. But Pei Cheng was healthy at that time. He had healthy legs and a healthy body.

Shi Wan looked quietly at the back of Pei Cheng's head and suddenly felt very sad. It seemed that all those people who had a good relationship with her were not having a good life.

She really wants to become strong, strong enough to protect the people she cares about.
