“Madam has been so busy recently that she hasn’t even been home,” the bodyguard said helplessly. “The Master is quite displeased about it, too.”

“True, her work, tsk,” Xie Yu paused briefly. “I have no interest in taking over her job. I’m leaving.”

The black-clad bodyguard watched Xie Yu leave, then climbed back over the wall.

Meanwhile, Pei Mengzhi had just exited a shopping mall with a young master he was close friends with.

His hand remained in his pocket, clutching tightly onto the talisman Si Fuqing had given him, as if only by doing so could he feel safe.

“Hey, Mengzhi, isn’t this you?” At this moment, the young master next to him nudged his arm. “Wow, you move fast. Already made a move?”

“What do you mean by ‘isn’t this me’?” Pei Mengzhi was nervously watching the traffic around him. He casually glanced back, but his expression immediately changed.

He snatched the young master’s phone: “What’s the meaning of this photo and these words?”

“It means Si Fuqing is interfering between you and Zuo Qingya,” the young master replied, puzzled. “But since when did your Pei family arrange a marriage alliance with the Zuo family?”

“That Zuo Qingya!” Pei Mengzhi instantly understood. “I need to head home.”

He immediately turned back and rushed home, rummaging for the contact information of the company’s public relations department.

Before he could dial, the door opened again—it was Madam Pei.

As soon as Madam Pei saw his frantic state, she knew what was going on. “You want the company’s official Weibo account, don’t you? I saw the situation. Don’t even think about posting any clarification.”

“Mom, what do you mean by this?” Pei Mengzhi was furious. “You tore up the thing my friend gave me. Fine. But now she’s being insulted like this, and you won’t even let me explain? And since when do I have a fiancé?!”

“Explain what? What is there to explain?” Madam Pei’s expression turned cold, her tone still indifferent. “That Si Fuqing girl is just a jinx. Otherwise, why would your father’s company run into trouble right after she said that?”

“I’ve already told you that it’s because she’s amazing! She can see things that others can’t!” Pei Mengzhi was equally enraged. “Mom, with all the strange things happening in our family lately, don’t you think there’s something unusual about it?”

“You’re calling her a master? An 18-year-old master?” Madam Pei sneered in anger. “I’ve told you before, if you’re looking for a master, find a legitimate one. Go to Liushan Temple someday. There’s Master Miaoguang there—far more reliable than this nonsense.”

Pei Mengzhi gritted his teeth. “Mom, you really have no idea the trouble you’re inviting.”

Trouble Si Fuqing could bring—could the Pei family truly remain unscathed?

“Her? Stay home for the next couple of days.” Madam Pei was utterly dismissive, picking up her keys. “You can go out after I’ve dealt with the company matters. I want to see how you can stir up trouble while staying indoors.”

The door was locked.

Pei Mengzhi was so frustrated he didn’t even know how to vent.

Why wouldn’t his mom listen to him?!

At that moment, his phone rang.

Pei Mengzhi picked it up, clearly annoyed, “What?”

“I thought you were just joking when you said you wanted to pursue her.” Yu Yao’s tone was cold. “Now it’s blown up to the point of trending on social media. Pei Mengzhi, you’re really something.”

“A spoiled young master, showing such respect to an adopted girl—Pei Mengzhi, is your brain broken?”

“Yes, I said I wanted to pursue her. Do you think I dare to now?” Pei Mengzhi took a deep breath. “Do you know why I respect her so much? It’s because she can save my life!”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Yu Yao frowned. “She’s neither a doctor nor a police officer. How could she save your life?”

“Forget it. It’s no use explaining it to you.” Pei Mengzhi resigned himself. “Listen, if I make it out of this alive, I’ll say it now: I’ll still be your brother. But if anything happens, I’m definitely siding with Miss Si.”

Yu Yao paused, his tone growing even colder, “You’re being ridiculous.”

The call ended.

Pei Mengzhi flopped onto his bed and hastily started typing out a message to Si Fuqing.

[Miss Si, it wasn’t me! I’ll register a new Weibo account right now to clear things up for you! Please believe me—I really just want to save my own life!]
