Disagree? My husband has a mouth, there was no misunderstanding at all!

Chapter 161 #Pei Group CEO Reportedly Married#

Mr. Evan was very satisfied with Meng Yuting's performance, but he seemed quite dissatisfied with Pei Weijin's attitude.

He went to great lengths to make such a big show of things, but the other side remained unmoved.

"Mr. Pei, can't you see the current situation? My youngest daughter has long harbored feelings for you. If you dance with her, we can sit down and have a proper talk, calmly discussing future collaborations. But if you refuse now..."

He deliberately left the second half of his sentence unfinished; however, the clearly audible sound of a gun being cocked sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

The answer is obvious: if they don't agree, there will be two more bodies left in this sea area from those who were trying to reclaim land.

"Is it that I failed to see the situation clearly, or is it that you, Mr. Ivan, failed to see the situation clearly?"

Pei Weijin turned his head, avoiding the weapon pressed against the back of his head, and calmly retorted, "A Frenchman dared to kidnap two Chinese citizens in Italian waters. If a single bullet casing were to be found on the ground today, or if a single drop of Chinese blood were to be shed, then you would face severe sanctions from China, France, and Italy. China has always maintained a zero-tolerance attitude towards any act that harms its citizens and will pursue the matter to the end."

Meng Yuting examined the situation closely and echoed, "Our nation will never tolerate such behavior and will protect the safety of every citizen!"

Ivan's smile faded, but his youngest daughter didn't react much, still looking at Pei Weijin with great interest.

The mercenaries who had been holding Pei Weijin hostage quietly returned to their original positions after receiving the order.

Ivan stroked his beard, his smile somewhat stiff: "Mr. Pei, you flatter me. I had no intention of kidnapping you two. It was just that my youngest daughter kept asking to see you, so I specially invited you two over to catch up."

He turned to his daughter and asked, "Right, Sally?"

Sally nodded casually, got up and returned to her godfather's side, her eyes fixed on Pei Weijin.

Meng Yuting finally breathed a sigh of relief, standing close to his boss, feeling completely safe.

He also made sure to retrieve both of their cell phones from the water glass on the table.

Ok……

Mr. Pei's customized machine is still usable, but his is already scrapped.

Pei Weijin took the cleaned phone and stood up: "Now that we've met, if there's nothing else, we'll leave first."

"and many more."

The mercenaries blocked the exit again, and several men quickly stepped forward and forcibly took Pei Weijin's phone.

Pei Weijin's expression was displeased: "Evan, what do you mean by this?"

Ivan didn't seem to notice the change in how he addressed him, and sipped his tea with a smile: "Young man, don't be so impatient."

"Since you have nothing to do anyway, why don't you play a game with me?"

He then changed the subject, “I heard that your wife is in a secret marriage with you because of some career reasons. If I offer her high enough terms, do you think she would be tempted to end the marriage?”

After all, the public knows nothing about her relationship with you, so even a divorce wouldn't have any negative impact on her.

"I'm curious, you have such deep feelings for her, but does she cherish you in the same way you do?"

“If she really chooses to leave you, I will not treat you unfairly. All the power of the Evan family will be handed over to you, but on the condition that you marry Sally.”

Ivan smiled slyly, "Of course, you can also make a decision now, divorce your wife, and sever ties."

Pei Weijin's eyes were dark and unreadable. He knew very well that no matter how tempting the conditions offered by Ivan were, they could not surpass everything he could give.

However, with the previous contract in place, Yan Zhuoyu has veto power over this marriage.

He hasn't heard her say "I love you" yet, so what will she choose?

It seems that Ivan has given him a wide range of choices, but in reality he only has one option, and he has been thrown into the same predicament as he was in his childhood.

When they were children, it was him and Pei Ruolin. Pei Jincheng chose Pei Ruolin, and he was abandoned.

Now, it is a balance between him and power, and the decision is in Yan Zhuoyu's hands. Will he be abandoned once again?

……

Just as Meng Yuting was cursing Yiwen in his heart, President Pei suddenly acted, snatched a weapon from a mercenary, and pointed it directly at Yiwen.

He cocked the gun skillfully, and said calmly and unhurriedly, "My lover will choose me without hesitation, and I believe she will prefer that I offer her the clean assets of the Evan family as a gift."

Meanwhile, at the filming location of Basongcuo.

Because the script needed urgent revisions, the chief screenwriter, Qin Zhuyue, rushed over by plane.

Yan Zhuoyu immersed herself completely in the role, trying her best to forget about her phone.

However, Pei Weijin's reply still hadn't appeared by dinner time.

Yan Zhuoyu, Qin Zhuyue, and the other two ate in Qiao Xinyun's room, and they all knew that she was married.

Yan Zhuoyu had been holding back her worries all day, and seeing her best friend by her side, she finally had someone to confide in.

She recounted the whole story from beginning to end, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became somewhat silent.

Qiu Tong, who had never been in a relationship, said cluelessly, "President Pei hasn't replied to messages for more than ten hours. Maybe he didn't see them. My friends and I often do that too. We reply with our brainwaves, but we don't actually send a single word."

Qiao Xinyun comforted him, "Maybe President Pei was really held back by something. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do something reckless."

At this moment, Qin Zhuyue, as the screenwriter, started to let her thoughts wander.

She held her chopsticks in mid-air, her voice trembling with excitement. "Could he have run into some danger? The situation outside is so chaotic right now. Apart from our country, which is relatively safe, other places are quite dangerous. For example, pirates, bombs falling from the sky, or gunfire..."

With each thud, Yan Zhuoyu's face paled one shade lighter.

Seeing that Yan Zhuoyu's complexion was getting worse, Qiao Xinyun quickly coughed a few times to signal Qin Zhuyue.

Qin Zhuyue quickly stopped her: "Hey, I was just joking. I guess President Pei might be planning to give you a surprise. You'll wake up tomorrow and he'll be right in front of you. Look at you, your dark circles are almost as bad as mine."

After finishing her bowl of rice, Yan Zhuoyu stood up to leave.

She wasn't actually worried about Pei Weijin's private life, but rather, as Qin Zhuyue said, she was worried about Pei Weijin's personal safety.

Next, Yan Zhuoyu tried making a few more calls, but the other party's phone remained switched off.

By evening, Weibo's trending topics were completely dominated by two explosive news items:

The CEO of Pei Group has been revealed to be married.

Yan's father publicly accused Yan Zhuoyu of murdering her mother, abusing her father, and harming her brother.

At the same time, Pei Weijin's third uncle, Pei Hongli, also called her.
