Li Xiwu said, “Sorry to keep Yaoyao waiting all day.”

Yaoyao’s eyes were big and bright. “It’s okay.”

Li Xiwu didn’t expect the little guy to like her so much. When they first met, the little guy was very resistant to everyone’s approach, including her. At that time, she felt that it was completely impossible to coax him. She didn’t expect the little guy to already be wheedling in her arms.

Yaoyao looked up at Li Xiwu. “Then will you still be working tomorrow?

Li Xiwu nodded. “Yes.”

Yaoyao made a muffled sound. “Oh.”

Whether he was happy or not was decided in an instant.

Pei Jingzhou cleaned up the dishes outside and closed the door before changing out of his coat and coming in.

After a day of interaction, Yaoyao had become much closer to Pei Jingzhou. When Pei Jingzhou brought him to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, he would obediently follow and not make a fuss.

Li Xiwu leaned against the edge of the bathroom door frame and looked at the

adult and child getting along in the bathroom.

At this moment, Pei Jingzhou took a new towel to wash Yaoyao’s face. Perhaps because his movements were too big, Yaoyao’s face was almost wrinkled into a bun. He protested that he would do it, but the washcloth landed on Pei Jingzhou’s shoes.

After that, Pei Jingzhou handed the toothpaste and toothbrush to Yaoyao and let him squeeze them himself.

Yaoyao squeezed too hard, and the first pump of toothpaste that he squeezed out flew out and stuck to Pei Jingzhou’s pants.

Pei Jingzhou’s expression was serious. “What’s the use of you?

Previously, when Yaoyao saw Pei Jingzhou’s serious expression, he would not make a sound. This time, not only did he make a sound, but he also scraped off the toothpaste that was stuck to Pei Jingzhou’s pants. “Saving it. It can still be used.”

Pei Jingzhou:

Yaoyao was about to stick the toothpaste that he had scraped off Pei Jingzhou’s pants back onto the toothbrush.

Pei Jingzhou picked him up and held his small hand to wash it in the basin.

Yaoyao protested. “Waste.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Since you think it’s a waste, drink this entire basin of water.”

Yaoyao resisted. “No.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Then shut up.”

Li Xiwu, who was at the door frame, couldn’t help but laugh when she saw this. This scene seemed to illuminate the future. But in the future, she might have children in her life or not. But would there still be Pei Jingzhou?

The next day, Yaoyao was still asleep, and sleeping soundly. Li Xiwu, who had adjusted her mentality, was much better. After being enlightened by Pei Jingzhou last night, she knew what to do next.

Outside the house, the frost of the morning fell on her shoulders and the cold air hit her. Pei Jingzhou tied Li Xiwu’s scarf around her and gave her his phone. “The first number.”

Li Xiwu took Pei Jingzhou’s phone. “Fourth Brother, aren’t you afraid that I’ll do anything with this command?”

Pei Jingzhou smiled. “Mrs. Pei, as I said, even if you pierce through the sky, I can make up for it.”

Li Xiwu’s heart skipped a beat. She unlocked her phone in front of Pei Jingzhou and dialed the number. The other party greeted him respectfully, “Mr. Pei, please instruct me.”

Li Xiwu said, “It’s Mrs. Pei.”

The other party seemed stunned for a moment, as if confirming the phone number. After confirming that he was right, his tone was even more respectful than before. “Mrs. Pei, please instruct me.”

Li Xiwu lowered her eyes and said everything she needed to say before returning the phone to Pei Jingzhou.

Pei Jingzhou took it. “Do you want me to accompany you?

Li Xiwu pursed her lips. “No need. I’ll settle it myself.”

Pei Jingzhou leaned over and kissed her forehead. “Should I wait for you to go home here, or go back to Lake Lu?”

Li Xiwu thought about it seriously. “Here, I guess.”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Okay.”

After that call, two cars quickly came to pick Li Xiwu up. The person in the lead was the person who answered the phone. His name was Dong. He had seen Li Xiwu and knew her status in Mr. Pei’s heart, so he was even more respectful.

Dong handed Li Xiwu a yellow paper bag. “Mr. Pei asked us to prepare this yesterday.”

Li Xiwu was stunned. Then, she took the yellow paper bag, opened it, and quickly flipped through it. It was all very beneficial to her.

Li Xiwu knew that Pei Jingzhou had arranged a lot for her. He had set up the chess game. All she had to do was play along.

The car arrived at Lan Min’s apartment. Li Xiwu walked in front and raised her hand to knock. A moment later, Lan Min opened the door. When she saw that it was Li Xiwu, her bad mood from being woken up early in the morning improved. “You’re quite early?”

Li Xiwu smiled faintly. “We have to record a show later. Time is tight. I’ll come over early to talk to you.”

Lan Min opened the door. “Come in.”

Li Xiwu was in no hurry to come in. “Did I disturb your rest?”

Lan Min flicked her long hair. “It wouldn’t be considered an intrusion if every word you replied to me satisfied me.” Li Xiwu smiled. “That’s good.”

She stepped in.

Just as Lan Min was about to close the door, two people in suits rushed in. This scene shocked Lan Min, but there were far more than these two people. There were also several people standing outside the door, all of them menacing.

Lan Min was terrified. However, she tried her best to calm down and questioned the calm Li Xiwu. “Li Xiwu, what do you mean? Did you bring so many people here to raid my house?

Li Xiwu turned around. “What are you talking about, Miss Lan? It’s illegal to raid a house.”

Lan Min was relieved, but her expression was still ugly. “Then what do you mean?

Li Xiwu smiled. “A threat.”

Lan Min was speechless.

Li Xiwu opened the document bag in her hand and took out some information. “After being threatened by you yesterday, I couldn’t even eat when I went hark

Lan Min snorted. “That’s because you’re guilty.”

Li Xiwu said, “I’m indeed guilty. After all, you’ve got something on me. But after thinking about it carefully, how can I let you use it to threaten me?

Lan Min’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Li Xiwu’s increasingly cold expression. “You, you should talk nicely.”

“Of course I’ll talk about it nicely. After all, I’m an upright person.” Li Xiwu smiled and approached Lan Min.

Lan Min was skeptical. Li Xiwu was indeed upright, but her luck was so good that Lan Min was jealous and hateful. She guessed that Li Xiwu would not do anything.

However, Li Xiwu’s next sentence shocked Lan Min.

Li Xiwu enunciated each word clearly. “I might be upright, but my husband spoiled me. He made me vengeful and didn’t want anyone to threaten me.” Lan Min’s eyes widened!

With that, Li Xiwu threw the information in her hand to Lan Min. “You have a lot of scandals. Come, choose one. Which one should be exposed first?”

When Lan Min saw that the pile of information was filled with her past scandals, she was furious. “Li Xiwu, don’t go overboard!”

Li Xiwu smiled and said firmly, “So what if I went overboard? What can you do to me.

Lan Min said, “You…

Li Xiwu turned sideways and tilted her head to indicate that Lan Min should look at the people. “Let me introduce you to the Triads.”

At the mention of the Triad, Lan Min’s legs went weak with fear. “Li Xiwu, how are you…”

Li Xiwu said, “I just dare!”
