'Other than him, there shouldn't be anyone else, right? '

Xin Nianyin silently said in her heart.

Gu Jianming had given up so much for Xin Nianyin and made so many compromises that Pei Zi Yun had seen them all.

Pei Zi Yun knew very well how patient his good friend had been in the past few days. Since he had decided to love her, he would support her wholeheartedly.

”Young madam, Third Young Master has never thought of annexing the Xin family. If Third Young Master really wanted to do so, do you think the Xin family would still be able to survive until now?”

He had always kept it in his heart that it was Third Young Master who had done all these things for her, yet she actually chose to believe in Gu Bei, that fox.

”It is all thanks to Mister Pei that the Xin family has been able to live to this day. This favor, Xin Nianyin has been very grateful.”

Xin Nianyin purposely avoided the topic of Gu Chiming. At the moment, she really didn't want to talk about it.

Whether or not he wanted to annex the Xin family was his responsibility as a merchant. It had nothing to do with his feelings.

As expected, women were the most troublesome and the stupidest creatures.

”Young Madam, the money needed to save the Xin family was given to me by Third Young Master. Do you think that I, Pei Zi Yun, am tired of living or stupid enough to let a donkey kick my brains out of my head?”

Pei Zi Yun's words were unpleasant to hear, God only knew that if it wasn't for his good friend, he wouldn't even have said a word.

This news was something Xin Xinyin had rejected from the bottom of her heart, even though he had already guessed it.

”That's impossible.” Right now in her mind, she could still recall that day when Gu Qi had broken through to such a cruel and merciless state.

He could even ignore her subservient pleas, so how could he save the Xin family in private? The only thing that would make the Pei family stand up for him was Gu Qi.

Pei Zi Yun's words might sound unpleasant, but he was right. For a small business like the Xin family, there was no need for him to pay such a heavy price to help them.

But if he helped, why didn't he let her know?

Pei Zi Yun's words were laced with anger, ”Do you think I have the time to lie to you?”

She wanted to know the truth of the matter, to know the reason. ”Why didn't he tell me?”

”That's why I'm here to tell you about this. Although Third Young Master disagrees, I still have to say what I need to say.”

Pei Zi Yun glanced up the stairs. He didn't want that girl to know about this. He then gave her a hand gesture, signaling her to go out and speak with him.

Without hesitation, Xin Nianyin followed him out.

”Mr. Pei, I've already sent a message to Five-Eyed Snow, she's not coming down yet.”

Xin Nianyin waved the phone in her hand, signaling Pei Zi Yun to continue.

”Young madam, you probably don't know Third Young Master's situation very well, but you should know that not many people in the Gu family are kind-hearted.”

Pei Zi Yun intentionally lowered his voice and glanced at his surroundings from time to time.

Xin Nianyin listened quietly, her expression grave.

”Third Young Master's big brother and mother didn't die accidentally. Third Young Master didn't only face the suspicions of others, but also the truth of his family.”

Pei Zi Yun spoke in a low voice, as if he was not narrating the story of others, but rather treating his own matters with seriousness.

After that, Pei Zi Yun told her everything.

He was betting that this woman would not betray Third Young Master.

As she listened to him, tears started streaming down her face. It turned out that she really didn't understand him.

Pei Zi Yun looked at the lady quietly for a long time before he took out his handkerchief and passed it to her.
