Chapter 704 - 692
Early the next morning, Pei Pei indeed left the house with Yu Sangwan.
In the car, Pei Pei’s phone kept ringing nonstop; she took it out to look, but didn’t answer any of the calls, eventually turning it off entirely.
Yu Sangwan could see what was happening and advised, "No matter what, he is your boss. Ignoring his calls... isn’t that a problem?"
"What could happen?" Pei Pei pouted, "Do you think I care about being some image ambassador? Hmph... Don’t get it wrong, they’re interested in me because they think I have a good image! These days, how many artists like me are there with no scandals? I’m doing them a favor!"
Yu Sangwan laughed, "You! Always doing things your own way."
Guan Chao.
The meeting room was a semi-formal setting.
Because it was a public welfare event meeting, Helian Si didn’t schedule it in the stuffy conference room.
There was still some time before the meeting started. Currently, Helian Si was meeting a friend.
"Wow!"
At the window, a tall and handsome figure suddenly turned around, a fair face, with phoenix eyes that always seemed to be smiling. He raised his arm and opened it, "So, you’re still alone, huh? After all these years, you haven’t settled down with a woman?"
Helian Si looked up at him with a cold glance and said plainly, "There’s no need."
"Hey!"
The man’s smile widened, he walked over and sat on the sofa, "I’m curious! Why don’t you need one? Don’t you have any needs? How do you handle them? Are you not able?"
"Kang Sir!"
Helian Si gritted his teeth, calling out his name word by word.
Kang Sir immediately raised his hands, "Alright! I’ll stop, I surrender! You’re such a weirdo!"
At the side door, someone knocked twice, then entered. Helian Si remained calm, but Kang Sir looked up to see that the visitor was Qin Mengshu.
A person followed behind Qin Mengshu, carrying a tray. As she walked up smilingly, she nodded at Kang Sir and stood before Helian Si, "Ah Si, you didn’t eat this morning, right? Big sister sent me over to bring you something to eat... This is freshly ground rice porridge, good for the stomach."
Helian Si frowned, raising his hand just about to refuse.
But then, two people walked in at the door — Yu Sangwan and Pei Pei.
The action Helian Si was about to take to push away the bowl immediately turned into him picking it up, his tone also changing, "Alright, let me try it."
Yu Sangwan’s expression stiffened, awkwardly looking away.
"This is..."
It was Pei Pei’s first time seeing Helian Si in person; she never paid attention to politics... At this moment, seeing Helian Si, her eyes were almost popping out! Being a naturally straightforward and blunt person, she exploded upon seeing him.
"Damn!"
Pei Pei rolled up her sleeves and walked forward, glaring at Helian Si, "Yo! Long time no see!"
"..." Helian Si frowned, "Who are you?"
Yu Sangwan knew this would not be good and hurried to pull Pei Pei back, "Peipei, don’t make trouble!"
"How am I making trouble?" Pei Pei blinked rapidly, pointing at Helian Si, "He’s your husband, right? Wanwan, we haven’t seen each other for many years... But I’m not blind!"
Saying this, she broke free from Yu Sangwan, looking furious, "Hey! Are you even a man? Everyone thought you were dead, but it turns out you’re alive and well here?"
Helian Si’s brows knitted tightly. He put the bowl down, "Miss, please speak with a bit of respect."
"Who are you?" Pei Pei was stunned, thinking she was seeing things.
"Helian Si." Holding back his temper, Helian Si kept his composure.
Pei Pei cursed, "What kind of Helian Si are you! What are you doing? Acting? Having fun?"
"Peipei!" Yu Sangwan was anxious and tugged at her again, "Don’t be like this!"
Helian Si’s face turned gloomy, obviously unhappy, "Miss, please mind the occasion... and think about who you’re talking to!"
"Ha!" Pei Pei got irritated, smirking, "You’re still acting? Addicted to it? Should I give you a ’little gold man’ award or something? Your acting’s so good, it’s a shame you’re not an actor!"
"You..."
"Hey!"
Kang Sir also got nervous and went up quickly to hug Pei Pei, "Sweetheart, what are you doing? It’s one thing to mess with me, but... this is the president! Do you have no common sense? Can you just step all over the president?"
"Dead man!"
Pei Pei furiously swore, "You dead man! Let me go! What do you know, I’m doing this for my best friend! This guy messed with my best friend! How has Wanwan managed these past five years? And him? He’s living so well here! A scumbag like this, I’m going to deliver justice today!"
"Peipei!"
Yu Sangwan yelled softly, stepping in front of her, "That’s not him! He’s Helian Si... Jinxuan is gone, I’m begging you, don’t do this..."
"..." Pei Pei froze, looking back and forth between her and Helian Si. "Wanwan, what’s going on, really?"
"Wait a minute."
Helian Si frowned, walking towards Pei Pei.
Kang Sir saw Helian Si’s displeased expression and quickly shielded Pei Pei, smiling apologetically, "Ah Si, this is my woman; she doesn’t know better, I apologize on her behalf... For the sake of friendship, forgive her this once, hmm?"
But Pei Pei wasn’t buying it, "Who is your dead man’s woman? I don’t regret it for my best friend! A scumbag should be scolded! I think I’m going too easy with the scolding!"
Helian Si’s brow remained furrowed; he didn’t respond to this, yet fixed a gaze on Pei Pei.
After a long time, he asked, "Were you... scolding me? Are you sure?"
"No kidding!"
Pei Pei was bold and resolute, meeting his eyes, her gaze firm, "I was scolding you, the scumbag!"
"Uh!"
Suddenly, Helian Si covered his temples. A piercing headache throbbed in his skull...
Pei Pei clearly wasn’t speaking, but he seemed unable to hear her anymore.
"You’re the scumbag! How did Wanwan manage in these five years... I’m scolding you, the scumbag!"
"Ah Si!" Yu Sangwan was terrified; she recalled the warnings from Helian Shuang and that psychologist, shaking her head at Pei Pei and lowly yelling, "Peipei, I’m begging you... stop talking!"
She just was about to lift her hand and support Helian Si, but Qin Mengshu had already rushed in front of her, "Ah Si! What’s wrong with you? Do you have a headache?"
Kang Sir was also stunned, "Ah Si! What’s happening to you?"
He raised his voice to call outside the door, "Ou Guanshen! Hurry in, something’s wrong with your master!"
"Yes!"
Ou Guanshen hurriedly came in; Helian Si’s features were scrunched in pain, cold sweat trickling. Ou Guanshen immediately instructed the Personal Guard to escort Helian Si back to the inner courtyard, and directed, "Quick, notify the doctor, and the young lady..."
"Yes!"
Amidst the chaos, Yu Sangwan was pushed to the side. She was clearly supposed to be the most concerned, and also the most qualified to stand by his side, but now... she could only watch helplessly as Qin Mengshu stood by him!
After a long while, Pei Pei patted her shoulder, "Wanwan..."
"Sob sob..." Yu Sangwan suddenly hugged her tightly, "Pei Pei, don’t say anything, just let me lean on you, leaning is enough."
