"Because I want a new hotel." Xia Zhi said vaguely as he got into the car.

Lucien was puzzled, but he did not ask much. He could tell that Xia Zhi was in a terrible mood.

Several times the water had choked so fiercely that she bent over and vomited in pain, but the moment she stopped she was washing her mouth again.

… ….

While Xia Zhi was tormenting herself, the butler received a call from a stranger. Only then did she realise that Pei Yaochen was being locked up in the police station.

He immediately drove together with the lawyer to the police station. When he got off the car, he was surprised to see Xie Ziyi wandering around the entrance.

He anxiously got out of the car to welcome them, "Miss Shu?"

When Xie Ziyi saw him, her dull eyes instantly lit up. She extended her hand and tightly grabbed the butler's hand as she choked with sobs: "Butler, you're finally here?"

"Are you here to save sir? Do you know? " The butler looked at her quizzically.

Xie Ziyi nodded strongly, and said with tears in her eyes: "I knew it the day he was taken away. He wouldn't let me tell my aunt or tell me your phone number. He just said he had his own arrangements. But a week had passed, and he still hadn't heard from me. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I snuck over to see him, but they wouldn't let me see him. I was in a hurry, and I didn't expect you to come. By the way, how did you know he was being held here? "

"It was Mister who told me. I think Teacher got tired of staying in there and finally figured it out. " The butler explained simply, "All right. Not much more. Let's hurry up and go in, don't keep mister waiting! "

"Oh, oh! Then let's hurry up and leave! " Xie Ziyi impatiently walked in front.

The butler hurried along with the lawyer.

Very quickly, under the pressure of the lawyers, they met Pei Yaochen.

When he saw Pei Yaochen's pale and weak face, Xie Ziyi couldn't help but throw himself at him emotionally. He hugged him tightly and choked with sobs, "Big Brother Yao Chen, what did they do to you? Did they torture you? I want to sue them! I have to tell them where they stand! "

As he finished his sentence, he unconsciously brought a bit of his usual viciousness with him.

Pei Yaochen frowned, he extended his hand and pulled away her hand that was tightly hugging him, and said indifferently: "I can take care of these myself, there's no need for you to worry. "Also, don't call me that. Our relationship hasn't reached that point!"

She then turned around and whispered to the butler.

Xie Ziyi looked at him blankly, then looked at her empty hands.

She could clearly feel that the distance between Pei Yaochen and her was once again becoming distant and unreachable.

She was disappointed and pained, more regretful.

She shouldn't have let him live for a week. In this one week, only the heavens knew what kind of method that damned Xia Zhi used on him. Not only did he have no intention to give up, his stance had become even more determined.

Just then, the lawyer walked in from the outside and said to Pei Yaochen: "Sir, the security procedures have been completed, we can leave now."

Pei Yaochen got up and left.

The butler and lawyer hurriedly followed, no one noticed that Xie Ziyi was still standing there blankly.

Looking at Pei Yaochen's hastily leaving figure, Xie Ziyi felt both hate and pain.

The prison guard stepped forward to remind him, "Miss? Is there anything else? "

Xie Ziyi felt more and more ashamed, she bit her lips and walked away.

When she reached the door, she found that Pei Yaochen and the butler had already left. Only the lawyer remained, looking at her with sympathy.

She really wanted to get angry, but she suppressed her impulse with some reason, forcing out a smile and asked: "They left?" Are we going back in a taxi? "

The lawyer politely pointed to the coffee shop opposite them, "Mr. Pei left a few words for me to talk to you before he left. Why don't we go to the coffee shop opposite and have a chat."

"About what?" Why not just say it? Why do you have to tell me? " Xie Ziyi bit her lips and asked.

"I can't explain it clearly. Let's go to the coffee shop!" The lawyer led the way.

Xie Ziyi was suddenly angered, and shouted towards his back: "I don't want to hear about it! I just want to hear it from him! "

She got into the taxi that was parked right next to her, slammed the door, and gave the driver the address.

As the car drove off, the lawyer stopped and watched as the car shook it. He got on the car and followed the taxi.

When Xie Ziyi rushed to the hotel, she found that it was already empty.

Mrs. Pei, the child, and Pei Yaochen were all gone, along with their luggage. Only her pink coloured luggage was left alone in the kitchen cabinet in the bedroom.

She left so quickly, so cleanly, that she sat on the ground in despair, hugging her head and crying.

She should have known better.

Other than Mo Yanqiu, he had been so heartless to him.

She shouldn't have been so careless!

It would be hard to even see him now. What should she do?

"Don't cry. Wipe away your tears and sit down to listen to what Mr. Pei has to say for me! " A white handkerchief was offered to her.

Yes, in that case, she would have to hear what he had to say to her.

She pushed the lawyer's hand away and stood up. "Please wait for me," she said in a hoarse voice.

She hurried into the bathroom, turned on the water, filled the water, and buried her head in the water.

The cold water was bone-chilling, as if thousands of needles had ruthlessly stabbed into her tender skin. It was very painful, but the pain caused her originally chaotic brain due to the great stimulation to gradually become clear.

After a long while, she finally raised her head and looked at her face that had turned red from the cold. She pulled a towel to wipe off the water droplets on her face and combed her hair again.

The lawyer was sitting in front of the sofa, flipping through a large stack of documents with a serious expression on his face.

She walked over and sat down across from him. "Well, now you can tell me exactly what he left behind," she said flatly.

The lawyer raised his head and pondered for a bit before saying: "Mr. Pei said that he is very grateful to you for putting in so much effort into giving your child a warm and comfortable home, but unfortunately things have changed now. He has a woman he truly wants to marry, so he is unable to give you a home. I'm sorry. However, he is willing to make compensation for that. "

"Here's a cheque for five million, and two letters of agreement for the transfer of property. One property is in the New York, the other is in your hometown. The two sets of properties added together were worth around ten million. As long as you sign it, it all belongs to you. With this, you don't have to be wronged by any man. You can have your own career. As long as you are truly strong, no matter what kind of man you want, there won't be a big problem. "

Xie Ziyi smiled bitterly, "Should I be grateful for my kindness? "With so much money and so many properties, if I were to take them, I would have no worries in my life."

"Indeed. This was a property that many people could not own for several lifetimes. And now that you have obtained it all of a sudden, I have to say that you are very lucky to have met such a generous man like Mr. Pei. " The lawyer smiled gently, but his words were full of mockery. "Think about it. Mr. Pei said it was valid until five in the afternoon. It's only a little late, you still have four hours to think it over. Should I take the money and leave, or should I leave without taking a single cent? "

"He's so cold." Xie Ziyi muttered.

"Because he has the right. There are too many women who desire to marry him, and if they are all merciful, he will not be able to cope with them. " The lawyer smiled in understanding.

Xie Ziyi nodded, she took a deep breath and extended her hand, "Give me the brush!"

"Miss Shu is a smart person." The lawyer's smile deepened as he handed the pen over.

Xie Ziyi took the pen and quickly signed her name.

The lawyer closed the file and smiled, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will be able to complete all the formalities. At that time, we will meet again. "Also, please keep this cheque properly."

Xie Ziyi took the cheque and looked at it fixedly. She did not move her gaze for a long time, or even blink her eyes.

The lawyer smiled lightly and continued, "There is one more thing that Mr. Pei told me to definitely tell you."

Xie Ziyi suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining with a ray of hope, "What else is there?"

"Mr. Pei hopes that from now on, you must not appear in front of him and your child again.

Xie Ziyi weakly collapsed onto the sofa as her gaze once again locked onto the cheque.

"We really must have a good look. Sometimes money can make all sense of frustration go away. " The lawyer stood up. "Miss Xie, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first. I'll be back for you at three tomorrow afternoon. "

"Alright. "Thank you." Xie Ziyi did not even raise her head.

The lawyer said no more, turned, and walked quickly out.

He took the elevator downstairs, got out of the hotel, and got into a car.

Inside the carriage sat the butler and a cold Pei Yaochen.
