Chapter 28 President Pei is in a hurry
On the other end of the phone, the woman's voice was like a wild lily blooming in the dark night, beautiful and lingering, soft as clouds, and as intoxicating and sensual as wine, with a lingering charm.
Pei Weijin leaned against the black leather chair, his skin appearing even whiter against the dark background, like warm jade, radiating a soft and alluring glow.
He closed his eyes, letting her control his rhythm, as if she were whispering in his ear. The two scabbed scratches on his shoulder seemed to be gently touched again, stinging and causing a dizzying illusion.
On her pale wrist, the faint blue veins were clearly visible.
Under the ceiling light, the man's indifferent eyes revealed his restrained and composed demeanor.
However, there was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone.
Pei Weijin frowned slightly. In his usual calm tone, he called out softly with a hint of urging, "Mrs. Pei...?"
After taking a bath, Yan Zhuoyu put on a soft bathrobe, wrapped herself up tightly, and then took her phone off the stand.
Her face donned the same cold mask as Pei Weijin's usual demeanor, her voice devoid of any emotion: "Time to sleep. Mr. Pei, you should rest early too. Goodnight."
Even the words they spoke differed by only two words.
After Yan Zhuoyu finished speaking, she hung up immediately, giving the other party no chance to reply.
She was in a great mood as she dried her hair, thinking, "Hmph, trying to manipulate me? Go ahead and suffer."
……
Inside the presidential suite, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows feature a one-way glass design, providing a clear and bright view. From the windows, one can almost overlook the entire city, with towering buildings and elites from various countries moving among them, and in the distance, a brightly lit banquet venue.
Inside the room, Pei Weijin sat at his desk and accessed his phone's private photo album.
Under the dim light, the dark red striped tie, carelessly tossed on the table, had several patches of fabric that were a deeper shade than the surrounding fabric.
He leaned back in the leather chair, eyes closed, a hoarse, deep voice escaping his lips: "Little Rose..."
Half an hour later, seemingly having given up on some idea, the man got up helplessly and went into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, Pei Weijin casually wrapped a towel around his waist. His phone, which was on the table, was lit up. He picked it up and saw that it was a missed call from his father.
He pretended not to see it and turned off the screen.
There's a banquet tonight, and I need to meet with people from the other company. I need to get some sleep to recharge.
Just as he took a step, Pei Jincheng called again.
Pei Weijin answered the phone impatiently, his tone no longer gentle as before.
"explain."
"Pei Weijin! You think you're all grown up now?"
Pei Jincheng, who had a bad temper, spoke even more fiercely now: "The Song family and our Pei family have been on good terms for generations. The two families have a close relationship. If it weren't for Old Master Song coming to our door, I wouldn't have known that you would be so audacious as to sue Xiaoyu!?"
"It's just a crown that's slightly similar to the jewelry you bought. What's wrong with letting her have it? Don't forget your childhood friendship!"
Pei Weijin did not bring the phone close to his ear, but simply left it lying on the table, without even turning on speakerphone.
He asked coldly, ignoring Pei Jincheng's agitation: "Are you done?"
On the other end of the phone, Pei Jincheng was breathing heavily, and one could vaguely hear his wife's comforting voice.
Pei Weijin politely reminded him, "Then I'll hang up."
"Wait!" Pei Jincheng hurriedly stopped him. "The Song family's daughter was already betrothed to you since childhood, and I've already conceded because you insisted on marrying the Yan family's daughter. But you must give me a reasonable explanation for this! Do you know that the elders in your clan are all eyeing your position?"
Pei Weijin scoffed, "What can they do to me besides watching?"
“Father, I am not the same person I was back then, nor am I the same person I am now. I am the one who calls the shots in the Pei family.”
"As for the engagement, you should know that the one engaged to the Song family's daughter is Pei Ruolin, whom you dote on, not me, Pei Weijin, who was taken back halfway through life. After all these years, can't you still tell the truth?"
Pei Jincheng was furious: "You are not even as good as your brother."
Pei Weijin's lips curled into an almost cruel smile: "Father, you're wrong."
"What?" Pei Jincheng was baffled.
“I’ll outlive him.”
He hung up the phone decisively after speaking, and quietly lay down on the bed to fall asleep. Even though he had just been angrily scolded, it did not affect his mood in the slightest.
……
After all the actors' costume photos for "Yao Yun Jue" were taken, the official Weibo account of the production team officially began promoting the series.
Yan Zhuoyu also forwarded her costume fitting photos as requested by the production team.
She took two versions of the promotional photos, one before and one after the senior sister's transformation into a villain.
Before she turned evil, she wore a light and tender green dress, her eyes sparkling with intelligence as she looked at her master with trust. Every smile and frown revealed her innocence and kindness, like a tender bud just beginning to bloom in spring.
After her transformation, the senior sister's attire became increasingly flamboyant and unrestrained. Her slender waist swayed gently, her legs were long and thin, her silver hair cascaded like moonlight, and her golden eyes shone brightly. She needed no elaborate makeup; only a dark red lotus totem between her brows, as fiery as fire.
His eyes no longer held the innocence of the past, but had become more melancholic and profound, filled with overwhelming hatred and a struggle to survive in the darkness.
While the photos were being taken, the original author was watching closely, his eyes full of satisfaction and full of praise.
With the official release of the promotional photos, she even personally reposted them on Weibo, instantly attracting a large number of fans of the original novel.
[Who is this? Is she a newcomer? I feel like I'm seeing her for the first time, she's unbelievably beautiful!]
[Family members, a goddess of beauty has descended! I cursed for days after hearing about the film/TV adaptation, but now, seeing the casting of the eldest sister, I'm utterly stunned by her beauty.]
[She's pretty, but after checking, I think she's not a newcomer, right? And her acting isn't great either. I just hope she doesn't ruin my beloved senior sister!]
I've seen the video of the gala; the female general's performance was quite good. I'll keep watching.
……
The original author's comments were quite mild, but Yan Zhuoyu's side was clearly a different story, attracting a large number of Song Zhiyu's fans.
[Was my daughter framed by you? Why is she being sued?]
What exactly is the relationship between Yan Zhuoyu and that person? How come she was fine wearing a crown?
[Haha, is it possible that our Sister Yan is so low-profile that he doesn't even consider her a threat?]
[Impossible! Those lawyers under him are all ruthless; how could they possibly overlook our Zhuobao?]
Why think so much? Wishing Zhuo Bao a smooth start to filming of her new drama and great success!
……
After the incident, the selfie under Yan Zhuoyu's Weibo post was replaced by another set of photos by her agent.
She was browsing fans' comments and randomly replied to some familiar IDs, thanking everyone for their support of the new drama.
I happened to see someone comment on a meme, which was Song Zhiyu's quote: "[Purple has a lot of charm.]"
Yan Zhuoyu, who was vengeful, revealed a reserved smile and responded with three emojis.
[Laughing while covering mouth] [Shy] [Cheering]
It is not very aggressive, but it is extremely insulting.
