Chapter 25: The Truth in the Barrage

In the lounge:

“I’ve always liked Wen Heng. He’s helped the Pei family a lot these past four years, especially you. Now that both families are here, Pei Du, Grandpa will make the decision and have you and Wen Heng get engaged?”

Across the sofa, Wen Heng smiled, his dimples looking very sweet.

The Wen family members were grinning from ear to ear.

This was the Pei family!

Even what slipped through their fingers would be enough for their family’s expenses for a lifetime!

Pei Du looked at their faces, found them disgusting, and withdrew his gaze.

“Grandpa, I’m not single.”

Old Man Pei: ?

“From a spiritual level, I’m married. Please don’t bother me.”

Old Man Pei: ???

Spiritual level???

Human language?????

Pei Du: “If you really like him that much, you can have him be your grandson, my brother, or even my son. I’m not picky.”

Old Man Pei slammed the table in anger.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Pei Du stood up, “If you don’t agree, then I’m leaving.”

“Wait.” Old Man Pei’s voice was serious, cold, “You went too far with Uncle Sun’s matter.”

“Where did I go too far? He instigated someone to come and stab me. All I did was post the investigation report and Uncle Sun’s photos on every corner of the company, send them to every employee’s mailbox under Pei Corporation for a full network promotion, and then, in front of him, stuck the knife that hurt me into his dining table.”

Pei Du sneered, “Didn’t even break the skin, where did I go too far?”

Old Man Pei picked up the cushion next to him and threw it directly at Pei Du.

“You little brat!”

Pei Du caught the cushion and put it aside, obligingly, “Wouldn’t want to make you angry, I’m leaving.”

After speaking, he opened the door and left.

Not giving Old Man Pei any chance to stop him.

[Young Master is so cool, I love him!]

[Tell Wu Yanzu, I’m not going home tonight, I have something to do outside]

[Handsome is handsome, but he made Grandpa angry, it’s still Wen Heng who appeases him. It’s really fortunate we have our little Wen Heng to ease the relationship between grandfather and grandson, otherwise, if Pei Du loses this only backer, I don’t know how difficult it will be for him in the Pei family in the future]

…

Sheng Yiguang watched the barrage, guessing what was happening over there.

So, Pei Du rejected this marriage?

Sheng Yiguang’s heart leaped with joy, but he also worried that Pei Du would anger his grandfather because of this, and headed in the direction Pei Du had just disappeared.

As soon as Pei Du left the door, Wen Heng chased after him.

“Pei-ge, wait!”

Pei Du acted as if he didn’t hear him and continued to walk forward in large strides.

Wen Heng trotted to catch up, “I know you don’t like me right now, but a marriage between our two families would be very beneficial to you. Haven’t you always wanted to win the Hai City project? I can convince Uncle Jin to let you do the project.”

Pei Du still walked forward.

Wen Heng, out of breath from chasing, stopped.

“Isn’t all this because of Sheng Yiguang?! You’ve been separated for four years, do you really think you can go back to the way things were?”

Pei Du stopped, turned around, and looked at him coldly.

Wen Heng stood up straight, “You’ve had a hard time in the Pei family these past few years. Have you ever thought that your persistence now is just beautifying the path you didn’t choose four years ago!”

Wen Heng: “You feel regret, so you want to find it back.”

Wen Heng: “Also! He’s hurt you so many times, I don’t believe you can not care!”

Pei Du looked at him, sneered, contemptuous and mocking.

Turned around and left.

Not turning his head no matter how Wen Heng called out.

Walking past the corner, Pei Du saw Sheng Yiguang and smiled.

“What are you doing here?”

Sheng Yiguang hesitated between lying and being honest, and chose to confess truthfully.

“Eavesdropping.”

Pei Du was amused, “As soon as I left, you didn’t even feel like having fun?”

Sheng Yiguang thought for a moment, “I guess so.”

The corners of Pei Du’s lips turned up, and he asked, as if wanting to be praised, “Did you hear anything? Did you hear that I didn’t talk to him?”

Sheng Yiguang nodded, his smile almost overflowing from his eyes.

Pei Du tilted his head and glanced at him, “Secretly happy?”

“Yes.”

Pei Du grabbed his wrist, “It’s getting late, let’s pick out some good food and go to the hospital to celebrate the New Year with Tongtong.”

“Okay.”

Sheng Yiguang agreed, glancing at the floating, scrolling barrage.

[Wen Heng is absolutely right, people always like to beautify the path they didn’t choose]

[Pei Du is now more like he’s making up for his regrets back then, right? Once he’s made up for it and has no regrets, he’ll see little Wen who’s been silently supporting him by his side]

[These two definitely won’t last long, that Moonlight said so many nasty things before, how could Pei Du, being so proud, be okay with it? He’s just waiting for the last straw to break the camel’s back]

…

Sheng Yiguang’s eyes drooped slightly.

Pei Du immediately noticed, “Tired?”

“No, just thinking about Tongtong.”

Pei Du withdrew his gaze, restrained himself, and pointed nonchalantly at the cakes on the table.

“There are two small cakes here, one is what I like to eat, and one is what Tongtong likes to eat, which one do you choose?”

Sheng Yiguang was silent for a moment, “Choose the one I like to eat.”

Pei Du raised his eyebrows, nodded, and expressed his agreement.

“As it should be.”

After speaking, he directly asked someone to pack them up.

Pei Du said he would pick some more things that Tongtong liked to eat, but he basically chose what Sheng Yiguang liked to eat.

After selecting, the two left the banquet hall and went to the hospital.

Wen Heng stood on the second floor, looking at the backs of the two people, his expression gloomy.

A voice rang in his mind.

[What’s the use of just watching! Pei Du’s been led away by him!]

[No, he didn’t even lead him away! He doesn’t even need to show up to lead Pei Du away!]

Wen Heng was impatient, “Can you shut up?”

[Heh, you called me “Little System” when I helped you drive Sheng Yiguang away four years ago, now you find me annoying and tell me to shut up]

Wen Heng was annoyed to death, “I told you to send a barrage to Sheng Yiguang, did you send it?”

[Don’t worry, it’s covered]

[Same old trick, will he really fall for it?]

Wen Heng smiled confidently.

“Deception is never wrong, as long as he still likes Pei Du, he fell for it four years ago, and he will fall for it four years later.”

Four years ago, Wen Heng came to this small world and collaborated with the system to seize the luck of the world’s favored one.

Seize, Sheng Yiguang’s luck.

Wen Heng used the known plot to inform Sheng Yiguang of the events one by one in the form of a barrage.

The purpose was to brainwash Sheng Yiguang.

To make Sheng Yiguang believe: The things the barrage says will definitely happen!

Then Wen Heng mixed in the only lie.

——Wen Heng is Pei Du’s official pairing

When countless pieces of true information support it, the false will also be considered true.

As he expected, Sheng Yiguang broke up with Pei Du and withdrew from the stage.

Leaving it to him, Wen Heng, to step onto.

The notes Sheng Yiguang gave him.

Wen Heng didn’t look at them.

He had a system, he had a cheat, did he need to waste that effort?

What he was after wasn’t Pei Du.

It was Pei Du’s power and Pei Du’s money.

Sheng Yiguang told him to go and bring Pei Du home early, to prevent him from being beaten by debt collectors.

Wen Heng didn’t listen.

If Pei Du wasn’t beaten, how could he hold the redemption script, descend from the sky, and, while saving Pei Du, also obtain a simp, Du Chao?

Du Chao, who originally had a crush on Sheng Yiguang, now had a crush on him.

He had also become the one who saved Lin Jianyue from danger, thereby gaining the help of the Lin family.

He had also become the one who was appreciated, cared for, and loved by Grandpa Pei, and given a big house.

The connections of the wealthy families, his.

The male lead three, four, five, and six who were infatuated with him and willing to be obsessed with him, his…

Countless things, all went smoothly.

He seized everything he could seize.

Wen Heng believed.

Pei Du would be the same.

What’s more…

“The four-year break isn’t so easy to heal, the one who has been gathering courage has always been Pei Du, the one who has been heartbroken is also Pei Du, the one who always makes concessions and accommodates, no matter how good his temper is, he will have resentment in his heart, and there will be a day of explosion, not to mention Pei Du doesn’t have a good temper.”

“What I need to do is to use Sheng Yiguang’s feelings for Pei Du to hurt Pei Du, push Pei Du away, again and again, until the day the resentment erupts.”
