Chapter 41
"Enough." Pei Fengnong\'s tone was sharp: "Wrong is wrong."
Little Xie blinked, feeling wronged, and glanced at Qiao Chuchu, mouthing, "I didn\'t bring the wrong one."
Qiao Chuchu suppressed a laugh and signaled Little Xie to stay calm.
【It\'s obvious that Pei Fengnong didn\'t want me to find out he had Little Xie bring something for me, so he\'s covering it up like this. I understand their personalities well—Pei Fengnong is like this, cold on the surface but warm-hearted, like a good older brother.】
Pei Fengnong stood with his back to Qiao Chuchu, his ears turning red.
Qiao Chuchu watched, and the smile on her lips faded.
【But I ruined the future of this good older brother.】
Pei Fengnong frowned, his ears quickly returning to their normal color. He walked out of the elevator, turned around, and stuffed the coat into Qiao Chuchu\'s hands, then left without looking back.
Little Xie nervously asked, "Did I make Mr. Pei angry?"
Qiao Chuchu shook her head: "No, the reason he\'s angry is because of me."
Little Xie was surprised: "Ah? Why?"
Qiao Chuchu didn\'t answer, feeling lost as she walked to the rest area: "Come with me."
Pei Fengnong stood in the corner, watching Qiao Chuchu\'s back.
He remembered Qiao Chuchu when she was seven or eight, playing video games with him, racing games.
"When I grow up, I want to be a race car driver!" she proudly declared. "I want to be the best champion!"
Qiao Chuchu was worried: "Won\'t that be dangerous, brother?"
"No," he boasted. "Because I believe I was born to be the first. I\'ll definitely be fine."
Not long after, Qiao Chuchu gave him a necklace.
The necklace was a strange design, one he had never seen before.
"This is my design!" Qiao Chuchu happily said. "I designed it, then asked my godmother to help me have it made into a necklace, and we even had it blessed by a master!"
The girl carefully put it on him: "Let this necklace protect you! Bless you to stay safe and win every race!"
Pei Fengnong took out an old necklace from his pocket.
The necklace was made of pure gold, and despite years of cleaning and maintenance, it still showed signs of age after more than a decade.
The chain was also broken.
After the car accident caused by Qiao Chuchu, he had torn this broken necklace off.
He didn\'t know why he still kept the necklace.
Maybe he was just used to taking it out from time to time.
Pei Fengnong was about to carefully put the necklace away when someone suddenly bumped into his shoulder!
The necklace fell to the ground with a clink.
He quickly bent down to pick it up, but a shiny leather shoe stepped on the necklace without hesitation.
Pei Fengnong\'s face darkened as he looked up and met a pair of deep, enigmatic eyes.
Ji Yanchuan.
Ji Yanchuan was dressed in a black overcoat, his hair slicked back with hair wax, his sharp features filled with disdain. He said lightly, "Sorry for stepping on your necklace. I don\'t take detours."
Pei Fengnong laughed incredulously: "What?"
Ji Yanchuan seemed unwilling to talk to him any further and simply brushed past him.
Pei Fengnong said, "Pick it up."
Ji Yanchuan stopped, turned his head haughtily, and signaled for an attendant to pick it up.
Pei Fengnong pushed away the attendant who wanted to help, pointed at the gold necklace on the ground, and said coldly, "Pick it up."
Ji Yanchuan lowered his phoenix-like eyes and glanced at the old gold necklace: "Such an ugly thing, and you still keep it. Seems your taste isn\'t much better."
Pei Fengnong\'s tone was cold: "Did I ask you to comment on my taste? I told you to pick it up!"
Ji Yanchuan turned around, his sneer full of contempt: "Do you know who I am?"
Ji Yanchuan\'s underling cleared his throat: "This is Ji Yanchuan, CEO Ji!"
Pei Fengnong\'s friend was speechless: "Are you blind? This is Pei Fengnong, CEO Pei! Seven-time Formula 1 champion, the most badass race car driver. His net worth during races alone has reached 1.1 billion dollars. Ji Yanchuan, who\'s just living off his family\'s wealth, has the nerve to show off in front of our CEO Pei?"
Ji Yanchuan\'s underling was momentarily stunned, murmuring in astonishment: "This is that Pei Fengnong? My god… that\'s even more impressive than CEO Ji!"
Ji Yanchuan\'s face darkened as he looked at Pei Fengnong.
Pei Fengnong remained expressionless: "Pick it up."
Ji Yanchuan sneered, still unimpressed: "I thought who it was, turns out it\'s Pei Fengnong, the younger brother of Pei Youchuan."
He continued, increasingly incredulous: "Is your Pei family all so morally corrupt? After all, I heard your sister, Qiao Chuchu, has a sick obsession with all seven of you, doesn\'t she? Holding on to all of you like that?"
Pei Fengnong\'s eyes darkened.
Ji Yanchuan laughed mockingly: "How disgusting."
Pei Fengnong took a step forward, his eyes already filled with murderous intent: "You\'re not picking it up, are you?"
Ji Yanchuan challenged openly: "No, because I never take detours, and I never bend down."
Pei Fengnong gave an ambiguous smile, grabbed his hair, and slammed him into the glass!
The glass shattered instantly!
Ji Yanchuan screamed in pain and tried to fight back.
Pei Fengnong effortlessly subdued him and threw him three meters away!
Ji Yanchuan crashed to the ground: "Damn it!!"
Pei Fengnong picked up the necklace, carefully put it away, and grabbed a decorative baseball bat, walking toward Ji Yanchuan.
His friend quickly stepped in to stop him: "Fengnong, let it go, let it go! Don\'t hit him anymore! It\'ll get too big! After all, he\'s from the Ji family, give him some face!"
Ji Yanchuan struggled to stand up, grabbed a nearby ceramic vase, and rushed over: "You think you\'re so tough, huh?!"
A shadow suddenly appeared from the darkness, delivering a spinning kick that sent the ceramic flying!
Pei Fengnong looked surprised.
Everyone was even more astonished: "Whoa… Miss Qiao?!"
Ji Yanchuan staggered back a few steps, shocked as he looked at the source.
Who was Miss Qiao?
Qiao Chuchu?
He focused his gaze and saw Qiao Chuchu in a perfectly standard spinning kick pose, slowly retracting her leg.
Clearly, that flying kick had come from her.
Ji Yanchuan was furious: "Who the hell are you?!"
Qiao Chuchu narrowed her eyes and charged at him: "I\'m your great-grandpa Qiao, born from a stone after Pan Gu created the world!"
Her attack was fierce, like a rabbit kicking toward Ji Yanchuan: "Did you bully my brother, huh?!"
Ji Yanchuan dodged and started fighting back and forth with Qiao Chuchu!
Although Ji Yanchuan\'s fighting style was fierce, his movements were clumsy.
In contrast, Qiao Chuchu was agile and quick-witted, like a monkey, using the terrain to repeatedly suppress Ji Yanchuan.
Lin Qing, Lin Shen, and the Pei brothers arrived at the club and saw Qiao Chuchu fighting Ji Yanchuan at first glance.
Lin Qing: "???! Holy crap, Qiao Chuchu actually knows martial arts?!"
Lin Shen: "…I never knew she could fight."
Pei Youchuan took off his glasses, his mouth wide open: "Ji Yanchuan actually fought to a draw with Qiao Chuchu, this weakling?"
Pei Buxian, holding a dog, shook his head repeatedly: "I can\'t believe it, Qiao Chuchu is like a struggling kitten in front of us, but in front of Ji Yanchuan, she\'s like a street fighter?!"
