I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

Jiang Yuzhu nodded slightly. She felt relieved, but also a little disappointed.

"I know... I just don't understand why someone would do this."

"Outsiders are always willing to interfere in the Pei family's affairs."

Pei Jingchuan handed the phone back to her, "Don't take it to heart."

"I won't doubt you because of a fake photo. However, the Pei family's affairs are so complicated, so you have to be careful yourself."

Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly. He approached Jiang Yuzhu and gently embraced her.

"Thank you for your understanding. No matter how rough the waves in the Pei family are, you and I are each other's most solid shore."

In Pei Jingchuan's strong embrace, Jiang Yuzhu raised his head slightly, his eyes firm and deep.

"I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't show you this photo. But we must find out who is behind these conspiracies."

Pei Jingchuan's eyes were slightly cold, and the sharpness between his brows was undisguised.

"I will deal with this matter. There will eventually be an end to this matter, both inside and outside the Pei family."

Jiang Yuzhu nodded, her eyes flashing as sharp as a blade.

"I don't want the Pei family dispute to affect us. That person, I have a hunch, is probably someone from the Pei family."

Pei Jingchuan's arms tightened, and his voice became colder, but it revealed an unquestionable protective meaning, "I will not let you be implicated in any way. As for the intrigues of the Pei family, I have long been accustomed to it. However, I will not tolerate it. Anyone hurt you.”

Jiang Yuzhu raised her hand and touched his cheek gently. Her movements were gentle but firm, "No matter how big the storm is, I will stay with you."

The two people's eyes met, silently conveying trust between each other.

Pei Jingchuan lowered his head slightly, with an almost imperceptible smile on his lips, "I know. Now, go and rest, I will take care of everything."

Jiang Yuzhu's body had just settled down on the soft bed, and everything seemed to be gently embraced by the night.

But the peaceful atmosphere was quickly broken by the ringtone on Pei Jingchuan's cell phone.

Pei Jingchuan pressed his finger lightly and the screen lit up. Through the dim light, he could see that the caller ID read "Pei Yanqing".

He pressed the answer button, his voice still maintaining a cold tone, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yanqing's urgent and somewhat helpless voice came from the other end of the phone, "Brother... I won't go home now. I'm going to stay with you for a few days."

The coldness in Pei Jingchuan's eyes deepened, but his tone was tepid, "You decide for yourself. Call Mother Chen when you get there."

Jiang Yuzhu lay quietly on the bed, his eyes falling on Pei Jingchuan's calm face.

She knew that the disputes in the Pei family were much more complicated than what outsiders saw, and even the younger generation of the Pei family found it difficult to stay out of the matter.

After the call ended, Pei Jingchuan turned around and saw Jiang Yuzhu's quiet eyes. The corners of his mouth softened unconsciously, "Yan Qing is coming to stay for a few days. Wouldn't you mind?"

Jiang Yuzhu shook his head gently, with reason and warmth intertwined in his eyes, "This is your home, and he is also your brother, so he has the right to come. However, I hope he will not be involved in the disputes of the Pei family."

Pei Jingchuan sat on the edge of the bed and gently stroked her hair with his fingers, "No. I will not let the disputes in the Pei family affect our lives."

The next day, Jiang Yuzhu had already stood up and was sorting out the documents and items he needed.

Her movements were unhurried and slow, revealing reason and order in every step.

Before going out, Pei Jingchuan said to her: "I have to attend an auction today and may come back later."

Jiang Yuzhu responded with a clear nod, "Pay attention to the time and don't be too tired."

Their eyes met instantly, as if all words had been settled in the silent eye contact.

The auction venue was bustling with people of all kinds, and financial resources and vision became the yardstick for measurement at this moment.

Pei Jingchuan walked into the venue calmly, wearing a black suit that made him stand out in the crowd.

Next to him, Gu Qiyang had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Pei Jingchuan, he smiled and said jokingly: "Jingchuan, did you get into trouble last night?"

Pei Jingchuan tilted his head slightly, his eyes as ice-like as snow without a trace of ripples, "Yuzhu will not be swayed by irrelevant rumors."

Gu Qiyang raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to like poking at Pei Jingchuan's cold outer shell, "I think who can predict the depth of a woman's heart?"

Pei Jingchuan's eyes flashed with unquestionable determination, "Yuzhu is different."

As soon as he finished speaking, the auction officially began.

Accompanied by the auctioneer's passionate introduction and the constantly beating bid numbers, rare collections were displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

Until the famous necklace "Crystal Love" appeared, it seemed to be made of countless stars, reflecting soft luster at every corner.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes moved slightly. He had never had an excessive desire for material things, but at this moment, what he was thinking of was the necklace on Jiang Yuzhu's neck.

He bid calmly and firmly, and finally bought the crystal love at a high price.

After he succeeded, he did not stop, but glanced around lightly, with an inviolable aloofness in his eyes.

Gu Qiyang followed him and couldn't help joking: "You are so generous today, do you want to prove something with your actions?"

Pei Jingchuan did not stop walking, but replied calmly: "Some things are worth protecting with actions."

Then, he left a calm figure behind,

When Gu Qiyang saw Pei Jingchuan's back disappearing at the door of the auction, he couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He shouted in a joking tone between friends: "Jingchuan, your trick is really good, it's really impressive, but you have to let us... Single people should also learn.”

Pei Jingchuan did not look back, but his voice floated over, like the reflection of the cold moon in the wind, "Qi Yang, this kind of thing has its own time. But I think Mr. Gu is becoming more and more anxious about your lifelong event."

Hearing this, Gu Qiyang sneered, "Jingchuan, are you worried about me? Or are you reminding me that I should find time to take a course?"

Pei Jingchuan finally stopped and turned around, his eyes like a deep pool, "Qi Yang, there is no limit to learning, especially the subject of women's hearts. If you don't work hard, Mr. Gu may really make the decision for you."

When Gu Qiyang heard this, he was startled at first, then his face changed slightly, and he shook his head with a wry smile, "Jingchuan, what you said is too serious. In my opinion, love is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky. And my father, He is someone who will not interfere in my personal affairs.”

Gu Qiyang was about to say something more to break this slight embarrassment when Ye Qingning's figure appeared in their sights.

Ye Qingning didn't walk in a hurry, but she seemed to have an aura that couldn't be ignored.

Her eyes were clear and her steps were steady. She stepped forward. Her eyes first stayed on Gu Qiyang, and then turned to Pei Jingchuan, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Mr. Pei, what happened yesterday was beyond my expectation. I didn't mean to cause misunderstanding."

Pei Jingchuan nodded slightly and responded calmly without changing his expression, "Miss Ye, the matter has come to an end. It is useless to dwell on the past. And I already know what happened yesterday, so there is no need to take it to heart."

Gu Qiyang took the opportunity to interject, with a hint of joking flashing in his eyes, "Now that the misunderstanding is resolved, how about the three of us have lunch together?"

Pei Jingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Qi Yang, do you want to take this opportunity to get out of singlehood?"
