Chapter 228: Something Huge Is About to Happen

Pei Yucheng didn’t even glance at Ji Lan. From the moment he stepped into the room, his gaze never once left Lin Yan.

Lin Yan saw Pei Yucheng and clenched her fists.

The man was wearing a white shirt, and his hair was slightly messy. His eyes gleamed coldly behind his gold-framed spectacles.

He had lost his usual gentleness and warmth, and his eyes looked like an abyss. He had changed into another person.

No.

Perhaps, this was the real Pei Yucheng…

No one dared to utter a word as soon as Pei Yucheng arrived. Everyone just shuffled their feet and retreated. No one dared to even breathe loudly.

Pei Yucheng walked to the landing of the stairs as he adjusted his cufflinks. Then, he raised his head as he watched the furious girl quietly. “Have you decided?”

Lin Yan frowned when she heard Pei Yucheng. A second later, she slammed the table next to Pei Yucheng with both hands.

Pei Yutang started panicking more than the rest when he saw how furious Lin Yan was. Wasn’t she supposed to be the stabilizer?

The table beside Big Brother had almost been smashed to pieces by her!

Pei Yutang did not recall ever seeing anyone dare to do anything like this to his Big Brother!

Something huge was happening! A storm was about to brew!

Pei Yucheng settled himself on the couch while a chill emanated from him. Qin Huan and Xing Chen instinctively sensed danger.

Both their foreheads were perspiring as they stole glances at each other.

Lin Yan glared at Pei Yucheng, her voice pulsing with anger. “Skip this nonsense! I have questions for you!”

“Ask away,” answered the man.

Lin Yan narrowed her eyes. “My mom’s house, Uncle Xie’s company, my grandfather… Did you do all that?”

Pei Yucheng didn’t deny it. He just bowed his head. “Yes.”

Lin Yan clenched her fists when she heard his answer. Then, she leered and said, “So this is what you meant when you said that I will definitely agree?”

“You will agree.” The man sounded certain.

A pair of eyes that were filled with danger met Lin Yan’s eyes.

She inhaled deeply to suppress her rage and attempted to communicate with Pei Yucheng once more. “What do I have to do to make you spare my family?”

“You know the answer,” Pei Yucheng replied, looking stoic.

If Lin Yan hadn’t been so agitated and furious, she would have noticed that something was wrong with the man right now.

Lin Yan sneered coldly as she recalled what the girl in black had said. She had commanded her to stay beside him and to listen to everything he said.

“Am I supposed to be a pet bird you keep in a cage? Or a slave that listens to your every command?”

While Lin Yan eyed the man, there was no trace of warmth in her voice. She hissed coldly, “In that case, I’m sorry, Mr. Pei, but I’m afraid you don’t know me well enough. I am a rock, so nothing can penetrate me. What I detest the most is being threatened. Worst-case scenario, I will perish with you!”

Pei Yucheng’s eyes, which had originally been placid, suddenly billowed with emotions as the girl finished talking.

The man’s silver watch rang with a shrill alarm once more…

“F*ck. We are doomed…” Qin Huan went pale when he heard that.

Everyone else became fl.u.s.tered and anxious too.

Pei Yutang panicked and exclaimed, “What should we do? Think of something!”
