Chapter 184 The White Moonlight Who Died Early in the Substitute Novel (21)

A short while later, the car arrived at Jiang Ciyou's building.

Assistant Liang looked at Pei Jinxiu and asked cautiously, "President Pei, should I... stay here, or go back to the company?"

Pei Jinxiu frowned and snapped, "Take me upstairs and then get out!"

Let him leave if he wants. He'll come back to pick you up soon anyway. You can't even walk, why make a fuss?

Assistant Liang curled his lip, inwardly complaining, but outwardly still respectfully replied, "Then... I'll come pick you up again in a bit?"

Pei Jinxiu coldly replied, "You don't need to come!"

Upon hearing this, Assistant Liang was overjoyed. This was wonderful! He would rather work overtime than serve this difficult customer!

But before she could even enjoy her happiness for a few minutes, she heard Pei Jinxiu's next words: "You're taking away all of this month's bonus!"

"Yes!" Assistant Liang replied with a forced smile, pursing his lips and thinking to himself: All you ever do is stingy, no wonder Miss Mu didn't want to marry you, you'll be so cheap...

Just then, the elevator arrived, and Assistant Liang pushed Pei Jinxiu out of the elevator and opened the door with his fingerprint.

Aunt Wang spotted Pei Jinxiu in the kitchen and rushed over to tell him, "Xiaoyou, come out quickly, President Pei is here to see you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ciyou, who was in the bedroom, was overjoyed and rushed out impatiently.

But when she saw Pei Jinxiu, her smile froze instantly. Pei Jinxiu's face was badly swollen, his forehead and ears were covered with clear handprints, and he was red and swollen. There was blood at the corners of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had been brutally attacked.

Upon seeing this, Assistant Liang immediately closed the door and left.

Who on earth dared to beat Pei Jinxiu like this?

Why do they keep hitting Jin Xiu? And they always end up slapping him in the face.

How could she possibly bring herself to eat that swollen face? A hint of disgust and disappointment unconsciously showed on Jiang Ciyou's face.

Pei Jinxiu naturally saw Jiang Ciyou's expression and said irritably, "This is a house under my name. I can come and go as I please."

Sensing something was amiss, Aunt Wang quickly grabbed her shopping basket and said, "I'm going to buy groceries." She then hurried away.

Jiang Ciyou immediately dropped her disgusted expression, her face full of concern as she quickly stepped forward and said, "Jin Xiu, who hit you? Your face is all swollen!"

As she spoke, she turned around to get the first-aid kit, preparing to apply medicine to Pei Jinxiu.

Jiang Ciyou's silence only made Pei Jinxiu's face darken. His eyes were filled with anger and frustration as he gritted his teeth and said, "Get me a mirror."

Jiang Ciyou immediately stopped what she was doing, ran to get a mirror and handed it to him, and then continued to carefully apply the medicine to him.

Pei Jinxiu took the mirror, and as soon as he held it up, he saw his horribly distorted reflection. His face was swollen like a pig's head, and two bloody streaks were running from the corners of his mouth. His hand trembled violently, and he threw the mirror down, roaring:

"This is outrageous! What's wrong with Assistant Liang? He made me get off the bus with this head all the way here, and he's deducted my entire month's salary!"

Thinking about the strange looks people had given him on the street, it wasn't because he was in a wheelchair, but because of his face. His face flushed red with anger; he was clearly furious.

As Jiang Ciyou applied the medicine, she gently blew on it, her eyes filled with heartache. Seeing this, Pei Jinxiu softened his attitude, saying, "You don't need to worry about this."

Then, he looked at Jiang Ciyou and asked seriously, "Jiang Ciyou, marry me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ciyou dropped the cotton swab in her hand with a "thud," her face filled with surprise and disbelief, her voice trembling slightly: "What did you say? Jin Xiu, are you serious?"

Pei Jinxiu frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of threat, "Don't you want to?"

Jiang Ciyou quickly shook her head and said excitedly, "Of course I'm willing to marry you!"

She was overjoyed, her face beaming with undisguised delight. "Mu Si'an, now that things have come to this, I've done nothing and I'm going to marry into the Pei family. What can you do against me?"

Then she became even more attentive, smiling as she said, "Jinxiu, let me help you to the sofa and let me massage your shoulders. You see dark circles under your eyes; you must not have been resting well these past few days. Let me massage you so you can rest for a while." With that, she laboriously helped Pei Jinxiu to the sofa and began massaging his shoulders.

Pei Jinxiu gradually relaxed as she massaged him, and the fatigue of the day washed over him. Before he knew it, he drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up, he saw Jiang Ciyou standing in front of him with a smile on her face, saying gently, "Jin Xiu, dinner is ready, come and eat."

Pei Jinxiu had just woken up and was still a little groggy. In his hazy state, he seemed to see Mu Si'an talking to him, and he subconsciously responded gently, "Okay, An'an." As soon as the words left his mouth, he instantly came to his senses.

Seeing Pei Jinxiu's reaction, Jiang Ciyou's face flashed with sadness and grievance, and she asked softly, "Jinxiu, do you not want to marry me? Actually, you want to marry Miss Mu more."

Pei Jinxiu knew he was in the wrong, "Of course not, I want to marry you, don't overthink it, let's eat."

Jiang Ciyou forced a smile and ate the meal with Pei Jinxiu.

Just as Jiang Ciyou thought that Pei Jinxiu would be staying overnight after dinner, she changed into her pajamas, her eyes filled with a hint of charm and anticipation. She walked up to Pei Jinxiu, gently hooked her arms around his shoulders, and said coquettishly, "Jinxiu, can't you stay with me tonight?"

Pei Jinxiu looked at her seductive manner, but for some reason he couldn't muster any interest. He pushed Jiang Ciyou away without making a sound and said coldly, "No need, I have something to do tonight, you should go to sleep first."

Just then, Pei Jinxiu's phone rang. It was Chen Ping calling. "Mr. Pei, Madam's condition has suddenly worsened. Please come to the hospital immediately!"

"What? How could it be so fast? Never mind, I'm here in Yujing, come pick me up!"

"it is good!"

Pei Jinxiu then hung up the phone.

Now it was Jiang Ciyou's turn to be stunned. She didn't expect that the man who wanted to marry her just a second ago would directly refuse her request. She thought Pei Jinxiu would coax her.

But after Pei Jinxiu finished the call, he just stood there in a daze, showing no intention of comforting her.

After a while, Chen Ping arrived.

Jiang Ciyou called out, unwilling to give up, "Jin Xiu, I'll wait for you."

However, Pei Jinxiu did not respond to her and was pushed away by Chen Ping.

As soon as they left, Jiang Ciyou angrily pushed all the medicine boxes on the table onto the ground, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

"Pei Jinxiu, what exactly do you mean? You're the one who said you'd marry me, and you're also the one who's indifferent to me. What am I to you?"

Am I just a sacrifice between you and Mu Si'an? Jiang Ciyou bit her lower lip tightly, her hands unconsciously clenching.
