Pei Yansi fiercely punched Chen Wenzhou, raising his fist high, just as his fist was about to hit Chen Wenzhou again, a scold came from behind.
"Brother Yan Si, what are you doing? Stop it right now!" Chen Ling Meng controlled her wheelchair in a flustered rush, pulling Pei Yansi’s hand away, she looked up and stared at him with eyes full of accusation.
"Brother Yan Si, how could you beat up my brother ?" Chen Ling Meng gazed at Chen Wenzhou with distress, his mouth was already bleeding from a split lip.
The punch didn’t wake Chen Wenzhou up, instead, it confused him even more, he wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and actually let out a laugh.
Chen Wenzhou looked up at the angry Pei Yansi and tugged at the corner of his sore mouth.
"Pei Yansi, do you know what you look like right now? You look like a bull in the Colosseum!"
"I’ll make this clear today, if anyone dares to lay a finger on Shen Heyu again, I’ll never let them off, even if it’s your Chen Family, I won’t take them seriously," Pei Yansi warned them not to pull any more tricks.
Chen Ling Meng was already angry for witnessing Pei Yansi hit Chen Wenzhou, and now that she knew he had come to their house to protect Shen Heyu, she became even more upset.
"Brother Yan Si, what kind of love potion has that woman Shen Heyu given you that you’re so bewitched by her? The two of you are already over, and she’s married to another man, why are you still taking up for her!"
Chen Ling Meng clenched the armrest of her wheelchair tightly, her fingernails turning white.
"Because I love Shen Heyu, she is the only woman I love, no matter what happens, that will not change. You’d better listen well, if anyone dares to harm my beloved, it’s like putting a knife to my neck, and I’ll stake my life to fight them."
Pei Yansi looked coldly at Chen Ling Meng and Chen Wenzhou.
Hearing these words from Pei Yansi, Chen Ling Meng felt as if she had been sentenced to death, struck by lightning, her face turned deathly pale, she looked at Pei Yansi with trembling eyes, unable to believe what she had just heard.
"Brother Yan Si, what are you saying? You still can’t forget Shen Heyu?"
"But do you know you’re about to enter into marriage with me, is this what a man should say before marrying another woman?"
Chen Ling Meng finally erupted with emotion, her voice sharply crying out, tearing through the silence.
"I have spoken to you very clearly, yet you are still deluded into wanting to marry me, even stooping to any means to achieve your goal."
"Chen Ling Meng, the one who needs to wake up is you."
Chen Ling Meng just laughed bleakly twice upon hearing Pei Yansi’s words.
Pei Yansi’s words didn’t wake Chen Ling Meng up, but made her dig her heels in even deeper, she bit her teeth tightly, and screamed at Pei Yansi heedlessly.
"Brother Yan Si, even if you really like Shen Heyu, what’s the use? I’ll tell you, there’s absolutely no chance between the two of you, because you’re about to get married to me."
"You can only be mine and no one can take you from me, I absolutely won’t allow any other woman to lay a finger on you."
Chen Ling Meng’s eyes burned with rage, Pei Yansi simply looked away, knowing that Chen Ling Meng was beyond saving.
"I came here today to make things clear, and I have said all I needed to say, so I’m leaving now," Pei Yansi had no more words to say to them; he turned and was about to leave.
Just as he turned, Chen Lingmeng, quick as lightning, grabbed Pei Yansi’s sleeve; Pei Yansi frowned and glanced back at her.
Chen Lingmeng, still not giving up, pressed Pei Yansi, "Brother Yansi, tell me, what do you like about Shen Heyu? I am prettier than Shen Heyu, come from a better family, so what if my legs are broken now? My grandfather and brother will find the world’s best doctor to heal my legs."
Pei Yansi frowned and forced Chen Lingmeng’s hand off his sleeve with a jerk.
He had nothing more to say to Chen Lingmeng, but her words had irritated him.
Pei Yansi’s expression turned utterly cold, his eyes as if covered with a layer of ice. He turned around, placed one hand on the armrest of the wheelchair, and slowly leaned forward to whisper in Chen Lingmeng’s ear.
"Don’t pretend with me."
"I know your legs aren’t broken, and I will certainly obtain concrete evidence to prove it."
"I’ve told you all before that I have been investigating the car accident, and I’ve already acquired some evidence."
"This act of yours won’t last much longer."
After saying this, Pei Yansi slowly straightened up, looking down at Chen Lingmeng’s face from a superior height.
Chen Lingmeng’s gaze trembled fiercely, and a nameless fear, panic, and dread began to proliferate.
Pei Yansi coldly retracted his gaze, turned, and walked away. This time, Chen Lingmeng did not foolishly hold onto him.
After Pei Yansi had left, Chen Wenzhou, worried, walked over to the wheelchair and saw Chen Lingmeng with a soulless expression.
"Mengmeng, Mengmeng, what’s wrong with you? What exactly did he say to you?"
Chen Wenzhou’s question pulled Chen Lingmeng’s mind back to reality. Suddenly, tears the size of beans rolled from the corner of her eyes as she caught Chen Wenzhou’s hand with a trembling voice.
"Brother, what do we do now? Pei Yansi knows my legs aren’t broken. How could he know my legs aren’t broken? Could it be Xiao Hua who leaked it? Didn’t we keep Xiao Hua under control? She had no chance to contact the outside world, right?"
Chen Lingmeng was afraid. She feared that the elaborate deception they had woven would one day be torn apart, and then all the members of the Chen Family would be cast into an irretrievable abyss.
Chen Wenzhou also feared this possibility. Even though he was the adopted son of the Chen Family, he had spent many years building his position there, and he had put his heart into it.
Without the reputation of the Chen Family, Chen Wenzhou would be nothing, so he had to protect everything he had now.
He himself was already irritated enough, but he still needed to comfort Chen Lingmeng. He lifted his hand and gently patted the back of her hand, saying with a tender voice, "Mengmeng, don’t be afraid. Given Pei Yansi’s abilities, even if Xiao Hua didn’t tell him, he would certainly have his own ways of finding out."
"Brother, but how can I not be scared? He already knows that my legs are perfectly fine. I’m really very scared."
"Mengmeng, at times , you absolutely cannot panic. Once you panic, you’ll slip up. He might just be bluffing you, without concrete evidence."
