Lin Man's heart tightened, she held her breath and dared not move.

He Sheng looked alert and wanted to go forward to check.

Pei Yan said calmly: "Okay."

He lit another cigarette, looking nonchalant, "There's no one at home, no need to be so alert."

"Yes."

He Sheng withdrew his gaze.

Pei Yan flicked the cigarette butt between his fingers, and the light in the study dimmed.

"Any thing else?"

He Sheng thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Boss Pei...the detention center said Miss Gan wants to see a lawyer."

Pei Yan looked at the drizzle falling outside the floor-to-ceiling window with his deep eyes.

"According to the rules, she should be given all the rights and interests she deserves."

"The Si family wants to see you." He Sheng lowered his head respectfully.

Pei Yan stroked the watch on his wrist, his expression gloomy, "Who was sent?"

He Sheng replied: "It's the eldest son of the second branch of the Si family, Si Wenjing."

Pei Yan suddenly smiled, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his lips, "He has the nerve to come see me."

Pei Yan's voice was ambiguous, which made Lin Man's heart tighten.

He Sheng smiled, "Si Wenjing said that the Si family knew that Miss Gan had committed a serious crime, and they didn't come here to plead for Miss Gan. It's just that when the servants were cleaning Miss Gan's room, they found a few of Miss Gan Yuxi's belongings.

He said that Miss Gan Tian can't come out right now, and there's no one to take care of these things, so he wanted to send them to you."

The green smoke made it impossible to see the expression on Pei Yan's face.

After a while, Pei Yan said, "Let Si Wenjing go to Lingyuan."

"Yes."

Lin Man hid at the door, her eyes moving slightly.

Does Si Wenjing's move mean that the Si family has given up on Gan Tian?

So, was he sending Gan Yuxi's relics to Pei Yan as a token of his loyalty? Or was he trying to get some benefits in return?

Lingyuan, Lin Man knew this place, it was Pei Yan's residence. He lived there more often than at home, so Lin Man was particularly impressed by this place.

Lin Man didn't expect Pei Yan to meet Si Wenjing in this place.

"Boss Pei, are we really going to ignore Miss Gan?"

After He Sheng finished speaking, Pei Yan glared at him.

He didn't dare to say anything more, but when he thought of the financial report in his hand, he had to bite the bullet and continue reporting.

"Boss Pei, Miss Gan has signed with Pei Corporation now. As for her upcoming dramas and endorsements... I guess after the official announcement, those crews and advertisers will get the news and sue her. According to the current financial report, the penalty for breach of contract is 300 million yuan.

All of Miss Gan’s assets have been frozen and she is insolvent. The Si family is unlikely to help her pay it back, so... these people are likely to sue the Pei family. Do you think we should help Miss Gan pay back the money?

The PR team has come up with three plans. Do you want to review them now?"

He Sheng handed over the document in his hand, but Pei Yan did not take it. His fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"Let the Ministry of Law prepare to respond to the lawsuit and draft a public relations letter to announce that Pei is not responsible and will not pay the artist's liquidated damages."

Pei Yan threw the cigarette box on the table and said, "Let her figure it out herself."

"Yes."

Lin Man looked at He Sheng's back as he left, and felt that Gan Tian could not escape the fate of being sanctioned this time.

Pei Yan gave up on her, so the Si family also gave up on her and used her as a stepping stone for the last time. Gan Tian's fate was completely over.

Lin Man turned around and wanted to go back to her room, but she heard Pei Yan's low voice. He said, "Come in."

Lin Man paused subconsciously, but did not move.

After a while, Pei Yan's voice came again, "Do you want me to come over and invite you?"

Hearing Pei Yan's annoying behavior, Lin Man was sure that he had known that she was standing at the door and eavesdropping.

She slowly walked into the study room, which was dimly lit. She looked towards the chair and heard Pei Yan's voice, which scared her.

"Boss Pei, are you sensitive to light?"

Pei Yan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the unobstructed night view of the city.

"With the lights on, you won't be able to hide anymore. I'm just trying to satisfy your habit of eavesdropping."

Pei Yan's voice was low, and he turned around slowly with a hint of mockery on his face.

Lin Man turned his head away, his tone a little stiff.

"Why did you let me in?"

Pei Yan glanced at Lin Man, and with a press of his hand, the room instantly became as bright as day.

He sat in a chair, tapping his fingers on a document on the desk.

Lin Man looked at the contents of Pei Yan's document and felt a chill in her heart.

His low voice was a little cold, “I promised you that I would investigate fairly and impartially, but what were you doing while I was busy investigating?

Sue me for divorce, huh?"

Pei Yan's voice was filled with anger but unexpressed resentment.

Lin Man calmed herself down.

"Pei Yan, I never promised you anything. You are investigating Gan Tian's affairs, not only to help me, but also to help yourself. Do you want to keep a vicious woman by your side?"

Lin Man felt that Pei Yan's inexplicable anger was inexplicable.

"Besides, even if these things didn't happen, we would still have to separate... Now that the truth is out, you have your career to protect, and I have my own path to follow, so why not just say goodbye.

Pei Yan, I really don't understand why you won't let go?"

Pei Yan's face became more and more gloomy...

He saw Lin Man standing there stiffly with his neck stiffened and a chill on his back.

Suddenly he felt so bored. The person sleeping next to him hated him and was also afraid of him.

He took off the priceless watch from his wrist and threw it on the table.

He didn't answer any of Lin Man's questions, but just uttered two words coldly.

"go out."

Lin Man raised her eyes with disbelief in her eyes. He actually... didn't get angry. Does this mean that Pei Yan was moved by her words?

"What about the divorce..."

Lin Man spoke tentatively. Compared to Pei Yan's dominance in the past, he was very calm at this moment.

His dark eyes stared at Lin Man, and he said slowly: "Divorce will affect the stable development and health of Pei's company. This matter needs to be considered carefully, but if this is what you want, I will give it to you."

Hearing Pei Yan's words, Lin Man raised her eyes instantly, looked at Pei Yan's calm face, and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

If she was happy, how could she be happy after two failed marriages? If she was sad, she should be thankful that she did not lose her life in this life.

Her heart, filled with mixed emotions, turned into a stagnant pool of water. She just said thank you and turned to leave.

Pei Yan suddenly called her from behind. Lin Man turned around and looked at Pei Yan in confusion.

"Lin Man, you know clearly how this marriage came about. Now that all the misunderstandings have been resolved, I said I would compensate you. Do you really want to give up at this moment?"

His dark and deep eyes were like a whirlpool, ready to drown people.

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan, and after a while, she chuckled, "Pei Yan, you will never understand what is between us."

Across her life.

How could she not mind?
