Chapter 35 (1/2)

“Brother, you won’t agree to her unreasonable requests, will you?” Wang Yunxi had a very bad feeling when she heard what he had said.

“No matter who you are, you have to pay for what you have done wrong.” It was for sure that she would be punished as said.

“No, I don’t! I don’t! Over my dead body!” Wang Yunxi shouted uncontrollably.

Pei Xiuyuan did not respond. He looked at Lu Man.

“Are there any more requests?”

“So, you agree to these?” Lu Man looked at him in disbelief.

She had made those requests but did not expect that he would agree to them. After all, this would also affect the reputation of the Pei family.

“Yes.”

Lu Man looked at him. Her eyes widened in disbelief. After a while, she said, “I have no more requests.”

Pei Xiuyuan turned around and looked at Wang Yunxi. “You can go now. Proceed with the press conference as soon as possible.”

“No, I do not want to! I will not!” Wang Yunxi glared at Lu Man angrily. This evil woman! She must kill her! It was a must!

“Send them out,” Pei Xiuyuan ordered.

PA Wang moved toward Wang Yunxi and said, “Please leave.”

Wang Yunxi ignored PA Wang. “Brother, are you really my brother? How could you promise her such excessive requests? If I did it, it would not just be embarrassing to me alone, but the whole Pei family!”

“There is no lesson that is unbearable. You have never learned your mistakes. I should take the blame as well for not educating you well. Losing face is not a big deal when you have done something wrong.” Pei Xiuyuan was determined to impose the punishments on her.

“You… You are not my brother! You are not!” Wang Yunxi looked at him. Her eyes were red. She felt wronged. It was awful.

She did not understand how her loving brother could change all of a sudden!

“Send her out.” Pei Xiuyuan’s face remained unchanged.

“Please, Miss.”

“Shut up! I am telling you that I am not going to do it! Never!” Wang Yunxi shouted and left.

“Manman…” Mu Yunhai looked at Lu Man with his begging eyes. She could not have let Wang Yunxi do this! He would be ashamed for the rest of his life!

When Lu Man was about to say something, Pei Xiuyuan turned around and stood in front of her, blocking her from seeing Mu Yunhai. “There is nothing else to settle, you can leave now!” He said.

“I know Yunxi has gone overboard this time. But she is still young and she is a proud girl. If you let her do it, she will…” Mu Yunhai tried hard to persuade Pei Xiuyuan.

“I know exactly what kind of character she has,” Pei Xiuyuan replied, hinting that he did not need to say anything more.

“But…”

“Sweetheart, the show that you have been following is about to start.” Pei Xiuyuan turned around with Lu Man in his arms.

He was asking him to leave although he did not say it out loud.

“Manman…” Mu Yunhai looked at Lu Man.

His begging eyes made Lu Man clenched her fists. She let go of it after a while and pretended that she did not hear his plea.

Mu Yunhai looked at her. He suddenly felt a cold chill in his heart and shivered.

Since the first time he met her when he was fifteen, he had decided to marry this girl. She became his girlfriend at sixteen and his fiancée at twenty-three. All this time, she was the only one that he had always wanted.

He treasured her, loved her, and protected her with all his heart. He wanted her to become the world most beautiful rose, the rose that he would cherish forever.

She was also the reason why he had done this. Although he knew the risk of losing her was very high, he believed in their love. She loved him. And he was thinking of giving her a good life after he had succeeded. Then, they would be able to live happily ever after. But why?

Why had it turned out like this?

In the blink of an eye, she was not his anymore.
