Cheng Xueyuan’s gaze towards Pei Yunge was filled with strong resentment.
If it wasn’t for Pei Yunge, she wouldn’t have left such an impression on Huo Shidu the first time she saw him!
“Miss Cheng, if you want the Cheng Corporation to pay the price, this matter will not be so simple,” Assistant Ceng reminded her considerately.
“Zihuai, what do we do?”
The moment Cheng Xueyuan heard his words, she immediately held Cheng Zihuai’s hand. Her eyes were slightly red and she was a little afraid.
She was the daughter of the second child of the Cheng family and could not be considered to be doted on as much as Cheng Zihuai. If she really offended the Huo Corporation, she might even implicate her parents!
Cheng Zihuai was unhappy, but he also knew that he could not compare to Huo Shidu at all.
He gritted his teeth and could only look at Huo Shidu with red eyes before his eyes landed on Pei Yunge.
It was as if he wanted Pei Yunge to let the matter rest.
However…
Pei Yunge only looked at them with the same ambiguous smile, without any intention of speaking up for them.
This made Cheng Zihuai’s chest burn with anger. He held it in and gritted his teeth. “Cheng Xueyuan, apologize!”
Cheng Xueyuan looked at Cheng Zihuai in disbelief, her eyes glistening as she asked pitifully.”
“Zihuai, what did you say?!”
He actually wanted her to apologize to Pei Yunge in public?!
“Apologize to Pei Yunge.” Cheng Zihuai took a deep breath and said.
“No!”
Cheng Xueyuan felt wronged as she sobbed. She could not help looking at Huo Shidu again, hoping that his heart would soften.
However, Huo Shidu did not even look at her. He only reached out casually and brushed the slightly messy hair on Pei Yunge’s behind her ears.
“If you don’t apologize, don’t you know who will be implicated?” Cheng Zihuai’s tone became colder and more irritable.
“I-”
Cheng Xueyuan bit her lip. Feeling the gazes of the people around her, she felt even more ashamed.
She had been doted on since she was a child and when had she been humiliated like this?!
In the end, Cheng Xueyuan hid the hatred in her eyes and could only look at Pei Yunge first. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. “I’m sorry.”
“What did you say? I can’t hear you, Miss Cheng.”
Pei Yunge’s pretty eyes curled up. Her actions were a little evil, but she was so beautiful that no one could say anything harsh.
Cheng Xueyuan’s face turned livid before she raised her voice. “Pei Yunge, I’m sorry!”
“Did you apologize to the wrong person?”
Pei Yunge’s smile did not reach her eyes, much less the temperature.
She walked towards Cheng Xueyuan and reached out to lift her chin. Cheng Xueyuan struggled instinctively, but couldn’t break free.
All she could do was look into Pei Yunge’s eyes, which were calm and cold. “She’s not around now, but I have to listen to this apology on her behalf.”
“But if there is a next time, can you guess what your outcome will be? ”
Then all of a sudden…
Cheng Xueyuan met with her cold eyes and felt a chill down her back as goosebumps appeared all over her body.
“I-I’ll apologize to your Grandma…”
Cheng Xueyuan’s legs were a little weak and her voice was shaking. “I’m sorry…”
She stared at Pei Yunge in front of her. Although her facial features did not change, her eyes were unfamiliar and scary.
In the past, Pei Yunge definitely wouldn’t have such a scary gaze.
…
After apologizing, Cheng Zihuai left with Cheng Xueyuan.
When they were heading upstairs, Pei Yunge suddenly spoke.
“Brother.”
Huo Shidu glanced sideways and raised his eyes slightly. “Hm?”
Pei Yunge looked at him for a while before she asked, “Is Older Brother treating me well because of Qin Yu?”
