For the first time he admitted that there was something he couldn't do.

This was impossible to do in the first place.

Pei Qingcheng picked up the bag that was placed on the chair and tried her best to adjust her emotions, "I'm sorry, Director Ye. It seems like we still cannot sit together for a meal. I owe you this favor."

After saying that, she grabbed the phone on the table and left the dining room.

Nightingale didn't stop her. He would never stop her, just like how he would never force her to do something he didn't want to do.

However, this formless pressure made it even harder for her to breathe.

At the same time, the phone in his hand rang.

She subconsciously looked at the message, it was from the secretary to the chairman of the Pei clan.

"Miss Pei, the company is in liquidation at 9 am."

There were eleven words in total, but they stabbed into her skin like needles.

The Pei clan was finally going to collapse.

The foundation built up by the Pei clan over the past hundred years had been destroyed.

Pei Qingcheng did not know what to say to her brother when she visited him in the prison.

In the future, if her mother left, Pei Qingcheng would also leave with her mother.

When she saw her father and grandfather in that world, what face would she have to meet them?

Her body swayed as she leaned against the wall and slowly moved towards the door.

Suddenly, Ye Chong's tired voice sounded from behind him.

"Do you want to save the Pei clan?"

Her back stiffened. It was so quick that Nightingale received the news at the same time as her.

She slowly turned around. She didn't understand what Ye Wen meant.

The man at the table stood up and walked over to her.

"In this world, there is only one person who can save the Pei clan." The man's tone was neither fast nor slow, as if the world was in his hands.

However, this was indeed the case.

There was only one person who could save the Pei clan, and that person was none other than Fan Le.

Even the Tang Clan, one of the three major clans of Mo City, would be powerless against the Pei family's capital loopholes. If this money was given to a person, he would instantly be ranked in the top 30 of the Forbes rankings.

If Ye Wen could help the Pei family, then they would be saved.

However, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

Ye Wen's tired gaze enveloped her in his shadow.

She found it hard to breathe. She leaned against the wall and managed to stand up. "What do I want in exchange?"

A deal. The only thing she could talk about with him was a deal?

Ye Wen raised his hand that was wrapped in white gauze, but it did not land on Pei Qingcheng's shoulder.

"Come back to my side and stay at Zhuang Shengxiao's place." The man spoke one word at a time, each word transforming into a cage, destined to trap Pei Qingcheng within.

She knew it, as expected.

Her bloodless lips curled up into a helpless smile. "How long?"

"For the rest of my life." These three words, 'Ye Wen', sounded out in a low voice, yet it was like a hammer striking at the heart of Pei Qingcheng.

"One year." She clenched her fists, allowing her nails to sink into her palms. "Otherwise, don't even think about it."

"Alright." "Yes," Nightingale responded almost without hesitation.

With just a few words, Pei Qingcheng had given up a year of her freedom.

Even if she were to live with someone she hated, as long as she could save the Pei family, she would be able to face her father and grandfather even if she were to die in the future.

Only, Yin Ha, please forgive me.

Pei Qingcheng silently exclaimed in her heart, as if she had already used up all of her strength.

It was now 8: 45, and there were only fifteen minutes left before the Pai settlement was completed.

"Housekeeper Hu." Ye Wen looked deeply into Pei Qingcheng's eyes and instructed the butler standing outside the dining room, "Get someone to help Madam up the stairs. \'

"Yes."

He walked out of the dining room and said to Ding Han, who was in the living room, "Call for a meeting."

Then he went straight down to the makeshift conference room.

Ten minutes later, four people were seated around the conference table in Zhuang Shengxiao's dream room.

Satellite, Nightmare's partner, was one of his few friends.

Song Yeyang was the founder of the East Ocean Cruise.

And Ding Han.

The two of them, along with Ye Xiu, had grasped most of the economic lifeline of the Mo City.

Ye Yan leaned back in his chair and briefly explained his thoughts.

He then pointed at Song Yeyang, "I'll leave this to you, Satellite, for your assistance."

Song Yeyang's mouth was full of the egg roll that his steward had just given him. He had yet to swallow it.

It was rare for the restaurant that was full of dreams to offer such delicious food to him. Before he could even taste the flavor, he had already thrown such a big thunder.

"Dear Mr. Ye," He took a big gulp of milk, not letting himself choke on his words, "The funding loophole of the Pei family can simply buy a small country. The last time, I proposed that we should just buy that small African country.

He wanted to keep thinking, but his face was cold.

Ye Wen lazily leaned against the chair in front of him. His body was curled up like a shrimp. He looked harmless, but his eyes could shoot him into a sieve.

Well, he chose to shut up.

"I, I have no objections. Where's the satellite?" He successfully pushed Ray toward the satellite.

Satellite This man, as he was named, was as sensitive to the market as a satellite.

Thus, he would definitely have an objection.

But, unexpectedly, the satellite sips coffee, slowly nodded: "OK."

Good?

Could it be that he was the only one among these people who had a bad impression of him?

Ye Wen snapped his fingers and stood up from his chair, "Go ahead. The Pei household will be in liquidation at nine o'clock. You still have five minutes."

With that, the handsome man left the meeting room.

Song Yeyang's mouth was wide open, it could fit a boiled egg.

"Are you telling us to pay such a large sum of money just to save an unrelated company by summoning us here in such a hurry?"

"You'd better lower your voice." The satellite put down the coffee cup in her hand. "Ding Han, give me a few packs of the treasured coffee from your dream. You won't be able to drink this kind of good stuff outside."

"Alright, I'll go get it later."

The two of them stood up and walked towards the door while chatting.

"I am transparent. Did you not hear what I just said?"

"Mr. Song." Ding Han smiled, "Just now, you were unrelated to me. If I heard the words you said, I will make up for the consequences."

"Hello." It's not like Pei has been like this for a day or two, he also never said that he wanted to save her! "

"That's because Madam didn't say anything. Now that Madam has spoken, I will find a way to remove the moon, even if it's the moon in the sky!"

After saying that, Ding Han pulled open the door of the meeting room and walked out with Yao Yao.

Madame? Pei Qingcheng came back?

No wonder he felt that something was off about today.

Did he just snap his fingers?

It seemed that his tone was rather light.

It was as if there was a trace of a smile in his eyes.

Pei Qingcheng clicked her tongue.

Song Jieyang shook his head. If Ye Wen could kill all the people in the city, so be it.

However, there was only one person who could make Ye Wen tired to death.

That person was none other than Pei Qingcheng.

At 9: 05 AM, Pei Qingcheng stood on the guest room's terrace, looking at the beautiful flowers in the garden.

The secretary called, incoherent with excitement.

"Miss Pei, Miss Pei, we, we have not been cleared."

Ye Wen's speed was really fast, and only he had the ability to do so.

"Two minutes before the liquidation, our company's account has received a large amount of capital injection. Furthermore, we are constantly making money. With this money, we can repay our debts and the Pei family will be able to continue operating!"

The secretary was so excited that he was about to cry.

Pei Qingcheng heaved a long sigh of relief in her heart. No matter what methods she used, she still managed to protect Madam Pei.

"Miss Pei, Miss Pei, are you listening?" The secretary laughed and cried.

"I'm listening, I know."

"Then, this amount of funds is from …?"

"You don't need to know. I'll go to the company tomorrow." Pei Qingcheng hung up the phone and placed it on the glass tea table on the balcony.

The two mountains that had been pressing down on her this morning suddenly disappeared.

Some things were fatal to her, but for some people, it was easy.

Weariness, he could easily make people die.

However, Pei Qingcheng knew that this amount of money was not something she could casually exchange for by staying at Zhuang Shengxiao's residence for a year's worth of dreams.

She was a tired wife, so she had to be a wife for the rest of the year.

The butler knocked on the door and she said, please come in. Housekeeper Hu stood at the door with a fawning smile on his face.

"Madam, are you satisfied with the decoration of this room? Would you like me to change it for you?"

"No need." Pei Qingcheng said, "I don't live here."

Steward Hu's smile froze. Previously, he had heard Ding Te say that his wife was going to live here from today onwards. The entire manor was in high spirits.

This was because everyone in the manor knew that this manor existed for the sake of his wife. Only by having her here would they have any meaning.

But now, according to his wife, she didn't live here anymore?

Pei Qingcheng noticed the change in Housekeeper Hu's expression and smiled, "I will stay in Ye Ye's tiring room."

With just one sentence, the expression on Housekeeper Hu's face instantly changed from a bleak autumn to a resplendent spring flower.

So, missus wants to live in mister 's room. That's great.

Housekeeper Hu stammered, "That's great! That's great! Mister went to the company and told us to take care of you."

"Housekeeper Hu, you can go now." Pei Qingcheng walked out of the guest room and headed towards the elevator.

"Madame, where are you going?" Housekeeper Hu followed her all the way back. It had been so easy for her to come back. If she was neglected while Mr. and Mrs. Hu were away, he would become a cat with nine lives. It wouldn't be enough to compensate.

"I'll go back and get my belongings."

"Actually, I've already prepared everything for you." Butler Hu said.

Pei Qingcheng stopped and looked suspiciously at Housekeeper Hu. From the time she and Nightmare had agreed on the conditions till now, it had only been twenty-five minutes. When did he prepare it?

Butler Hu walked to the door of Ye Wen's room and opened it, "Madam, you will know when you go in and take a look."

Pei Qingcheng glanced at the housekeeper before walking into the room.

He hadn't been here for two years, and when he woke up this morning, it was because he was in a hurry that he didn't pay attention to it.

The last time they had come, it had been when she and Ye Ci had been tired of having sex.
