"Sir, it is done. She was more sensible than you might think, and after crying herself she sat down and had a conversation with me. The process was very calm and smooth. She has accepted your gift without any objection. She's a smart woman. " The lawyer told the truth.

Pei Yaochen closed his eyes in exhaustion, "Very good. Drive home. I need a good bath. "

Startled, the driver slammed on the brakes and everyone fell forward uncontrollably.

He waved to a car and drove away.

Xie Ziyi watched as the car he was riding drove further and further away in the blood fog, but the corners of her mouth hooked into a strange smile.

The butler immediately asked the driver to carry Xie Ziyi to the car, then rushed towards the nearest hospital.

But at this moment, Xia Zhi did not know what was happening and could only fall asleep.

It was only in the evening that he was awakened by an urgent knock on the door.

Lucien opened the door and was annoyed.

"What's wrong?" Xia Zhi let him in and gave him a can of beer.

Lucien frowned at the empty bottles on the table. "Don't tell me you're using alcohol again."

"Better than sleeping pills." Xia Zhi laughed and waved his hand, "Don't talk about me, just talk about why you came looking for me in such a hurry."

"Pei Yaochen has been released. I heard that it was a very important person above who directly called to release them! I asked who it was, but I couldn't find out why. Xia Zhi, it seems that we have underestimated him. His influence was still there, but it had been deliberate in the past. But this time you let him rejoin the world, do you know what he looks like now? Like a waking lion, with a savage determination to seize you. Are you sure you want to continue? Aren't you afraid of being torn to pieces by him again? " Lucien looked worried.

Xia Zhi's eyes lit up, and sneered: I want the awakened him! I liked the coolness and cruelty of his waking up more than his sinking into his decadence. That's the kind of confrontation that's interesting, isn't it? "

Yes. The more ruthless he was, the more it would stimulate her fighting spirit.

She had had enough of that gaunt and decadent looking man in the cell!

That kind of her always made her flustered the older students to retreat.

That's not right.

The current him was worthy of being called their opponent.

It was only now that the war between them could truly begin.

"Xia Zhi, I know he's a bastard. Of course I hope that you can punish him mercilessly. But he was far more brutal and ruthless than I'd thought. You know what? I got the news just now, that he had a showdown with Xie Ziyi, and gave him a huge sum of five million and two houses as compensation. Xie Ziyi had accepted it at that time, but when she turned her head, her car had crashed into him and she was lying in a pool of blood. Pei Yaochen only took a glance before he took a taxi and left. It was as if a life was nothing to him. Needless to say, he was really ruthless! Xia Zhi, are you sure you want to walk right into this trap when facing such a merciless beast? " Lucien was extremely worried.

"He has always been ruthless. But he still has a lethal point, a fatal point that cannot be touched, and I happen to have a magic treasure that can touch that fatal point. " Xia Zhi gently caressed his face as if he was thinking about something.

"All right. "Anyway, you have to be careful." Lucian sighed.

Xia Zhi turned her head to look at him, "I know he is a ruthless character, but you have to help me this time, you must have provoked him.

Lucien waved his hand, "Don't waste your manpower and resources on me, I'm sure he wouldn't dare to touch me. Even if they dare to attack me, I can deal with them myself. You don't have to worry about that. "

Xia Zhi thought about it carefully and felt that what he said was very reasonable.

Lu Xian was not an unknown person, if Pei Yaochen really wanted to touch him, it would be detrimental to him, he would not be so stupid to do such a loss-making business.

Furthermore, although he was ruthless, he was actually a very reasonable person. He was in the wrong on this matter, so as long as Lucien did not continue to provoke him, he would definitely not let him go.

"Alright. I know. But just to be on the safe side, you should take this opportunity to take a long vacation. Franco has always wanted time to go for a walk with you. " Xia Zhi relaxed, her mood also becoming a lot happier.

"Hur hur. That's right. He had been looking forward to a long vacation. Then I'll leave tomorrow. Call me if you need anything, and I'll be waiting for you anywhere. " Lucien stood up and solemnly warned, "Be careful."

"Don't worry." I'll send you off. " Xia Zhi escorted him to the door with a faint smile.

Closing the door, Xia Zhi remembered that Xie Ziyi, who she had always been worried about, had finally let go of her worries.

Xie Ziyi was deeply moved, in order to obtain Pei Yaochen, he did not hesitate to change her appearance, and did not even hesitate to sacrifice her own life.

It was a pity that Pei Yaochen was a cruel person. How could he care about her life and death?

Xie Ziyi was too stupid, exactly the same as her own stupidity back then.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel some sympathy towards Xie Ziyi.

She shook her head and hurried into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, she returned to her original hotel. When she opened the door, the room was quiet, without a trace of Yi Zihan.

Apparently, he had already left.

Her long absence had probably made him realize that she was deliberately hiding from him, right?

Xia Zhi smiled bitterly and slowly sat down on the sofa, tiredly rubbing her aching forehead.

He had slept for several hours, but he still felt exhausted. Perhaps it was because the heart in his body was riddled with holes?

Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw a note on the tea table. He picked it up and saw that it was indeed from Yi Zihan.

Liao Liao had said a few simple words to tell her that there were still a lot of wontons and dumplings in the fridge, telling her to remember to eat them.

Looking at the phoenix like words, Xia Zhi's eyes moistened again.

More and more these years, she felt that ordinary silent care was much more powerful than the sweet words that were sweetening her heart.

Sweet words can make a person happy, but only after a long time can one discover that behind those sweet and fragrant words lies cruelty that can't be looked at directly.

And those ordinary silent care is able to make people remember the warmth of a lifetime.

The heavens were fair. However, when he allowed Pei Yaochen to bring her harm, he also allowed Yi Zihan to comfort her gently.

As long as …

No! He couldn't let his imagination run wild anymore! In the face of a great enemy, she could no longer hesitate, much less try to escape. That was not her style, much less something she wanted!

Xia Zhi suddenly stood up and rushed into the bathroom.

Half an hour later, she trembled as she walked out, hugging her frozen body.

He had just sat down on the dresser when someone knocked on the door.

He walked over to the door and opened it. It was a hotel attendant.

"Miss Tian, a guest has asked me to give you this invitation and this gown. He said that you should prepare them immediately and that the plane will pick you up on the roof in half an hour for the masquerade at Hurst Manor on Beverly Hills in Los Angeles."

"Hearst Manor?" Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows.

"Yes."

Xia Zhi waved her hand, "I understand. "Go on!"

The waiter bowed politely and left.

Xia Zhi opened the invitation, and once again saw the familiar words. That habitual change was the beautiful, yet proud look, and at the same time, exposed a coldness that was thousands of miles away. It was precisely the words that belonged to Pei Yaochen.

The words were appropriate.

Xia Zhi laughed coldly, tore the invitation card into pieces and threw it into the dustbin at the door along with the gift box. She then quickly put on her clothes and rushed out of the door with her luggage.

Just as she walked to the elevator, a man appeared out of nowhere and blocked her path, bowing politely to her, "Miss Tian, Mr. Pei asked me to come over and help you lead the way. Let me hold the elevator for you. "

As he said that, he flipped his hand and pressed the Up button. Throughout the process, his eyes stared straight at Xia Zhi, as though as soon as his gaze left her, she would disappear without a trace.

Xia Zhi laughed, "Your is very considerate. "Since that's the case, then help me carry my luggage!"

She let go and walked high into the elevator.

The man was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so cooperative.

However, he did not say much and immediately went into the elevator.

This time, his back was to her, probably because he didn't have to worry about her running away in the narrow elevator.

Just as he was about to press the key to close the door, Xia Zhi suddenly raised his hand and ruthlessly chopped at his neck.

He caressed his neck and slowly turned his head around. Seeing Xia Zhi's graceful smile, he could only watch as she extended her white and slender index finger and poked his left chest.
