Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Deng Shiyun and Wu Yanyun naturally did not force her.

However, there was still some worry in the eyes of the two of them.

Pei Chengyi picked up the phone and called back.

Pei Jianrong was rubbing his temples wearily, when he heard the sudden ringing of the bell, he was startled.

Hastily fumbling for the phone, he tapped to answer.

"Orange Yi."

He opened his mouth first, with a bit of desolation in his tone.

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly.

"What do you mean by those text messages?"

The text messages Pei Jianrong sent to her were all prayers, asking herself to save him and help him.

She looked coldly at the opposite glass.

Pei Jianrong's originally joyful tone became sad.

He was hunched over, looking very lonely.

After a while, a trace of impatience flashed in Pei Chengyi's eyes.

"You only have 1 minute."

Pei Jianrong woke up suddenly.

Holding his mobile phone, he hurriedly narrated.

"Didn't I collaborate with Chen Zhixian on a project at the family dinner before?"

When he mentioned the word family banquet, his tone was light.

A slight mockery flashed in Pei Chengyi's eyes.

"What, you want me to invest in you?"

The person opposite hastily denied it.

"No, no, Cheng Yi, I'm in a big trouble, but the people around me can't help me. After thinking about it, I can only come to you."

Pei Chengyi frowned.

The other party continued talking.

"After all, you are my daughter, and we are still related by blood. I believe you can help me through this difficult time."

A trace of coldness flashed across Pei Chengyi's eyes.

"What exactly is it, tell me clearly."

Pei Jianrong is now full of panic.

Until now, he has not told himself the matter.

"I... Our previous cooperation failed, and all the money I invested was swept away by Chen Zhixian alone."

He said timidly.

But soon, he hastily shifted the responsibility to Chen Zhixian.

"It's all to blame for this little bastard. At the beginning, he said he would introduce his father to me, but in the end he had no connections. He actually teamed up with others to make a game for me! If I catch this kid, I must let him try it." suffering!"

Putting down his harsh words, he carefully observed Pei Chengyi's emotions.

She frowned slightly.

"Why should I help you?"

With just one sentence, Pei Jianrong, who was facing him, was caught off guard and speechless.

"I...I..., you..."

On weekdays.Pei Jianrong, who was talking and laughing happily in the shopping mall, was suddenly speechless.

But just three seconds later, he seemed to have caught some life-saving straw.

"I signed the contract with the company's official seal. If you don't help me, the money will eventually be lost to the company, and it will also cause the stock to fall."

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

"Actually, I don't want to do this either, but I'm heavily in debt now. They have seized all my fixed assets. I really have no choice but to come to you."

After saying this, he fell down on the sofa.

A dangerous breath flashed in Pei Chengyi's eyes.

"Do you threaten me?"

Opening his mouth lightly, the man on the opposite side suddenly sat up.

"No, Cheng Yi, I know that the company can grow so big now, a large part of it is due to your credit, and I have no choice."

There was a trace of sadness in his tone.

"Just help me, Cheng Yi, only you can help me in this crisis, I beg you."

He paused.

"As a father, please."

Pei Chengyi sighed softly.

"I know about this."

The person on the opposite side was obviously a little happy.

Pei Chengyi continued to speak.

"I won't necessarily help you with this matter, but I'll check the situation first."

Hearing the still cold words, a trace of loneliness flashed in Pei Jianrong's eyes.

"Then I'll wait for your news."

She nodded slightly.

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, she called one of her subordinates who was good at collecting intelligence.

"Help me find out what case Chen Zhixian has been working on recently?"

She paused.

"Also, before he and Pei Jianrong worked on a project, let me find out what kind of muddy water he found in this project, and how much money Pei Jianrong owed?"

Her tone was a little harsh.

The person opposite nodded.

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, she sat back in her seat.

"What are your plans for this afternoon?"

Deng Shiyun turned her head and asked her.

She shook her head slightly.

"I have something to do this afternoon, you go out and play."

After speaking, she turned and went back to the room.

Turning on the computer and logging onto the dark web, she stared at the screen coldly.

The project that Pei Jianrong worked on didn't seem to spark any sparks.

She frowned slightly, browsing various posts on the website.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang again.

It was still Pei Jianrong's call.

A hint of impatience flashed in her eyes.

"Hey."

Opening her mouth lightly, she was still scrolling through the computer keyboard, quickly browsing the information on it.

Pei Jianrong's tone was weaker than before.

"Cheng Yi, I know you definitely don't want to answer the second call."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly.

"If you're talking nonsense like that, hang up now."

she said coldly.

Pei Jianrong's tone suddenly became anxious.

"No, I just want to ask you out for dinner, so don't hang up."

A trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

"Cheng Yi, do you have time recently? I want to have a meal with you."

His tone was extraordinarily humble, completely different from the people at the previous family banquet.

"I know, I have done a lot of things to be sorry to you before..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Chengyi interrupted him.

"There is no need to talk about the past."

A trace of distress flashed in her eyes, and then she raised a mocking smile.

"I'm looking into your affairs for you now. Although I may not take over everything, you don't have to worry too much."

A faint joy flashed in Pei Jianrong's eyes.

"Thank you so much, Cheng Yi."

Pei Chengyi only spoke coldly.

"Where are you now?"

Pei Jianrong lowered his head.

"I live in your aunt's house, and I can't go back to my own house, but that is our memory for many years."

What he said was very painful, and he didn't know if it was true or false.

Pei Chengyi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Where's Chen Zhixian?"

He continued.

"I haven't seen him until now."

There was a flash of anger in his eyes.

It was this little bastard that made me look like this now.

"I see."

Pei Chengyi's hand stopped suddenly.

She saw a post that was very similar to the previous project.

With her eyes fixed, she clicked open.

Pei Jianrong said again.

"If it's not convenient for you to meet, can I call you directly in the future?"

Her eyes paused.

"Calling is also a waste of my time."

Pei Jianrong had a bitter look on his face.

His hair was a bit messy, and it got even messier after rubbing it like this.

Aunt Pei Chengyi has been abroad all year round and has almost no relatives with their family.
