Chapter 39: My Little Girl is Scared

Jian Jinci’s heart was in her throat. Pei Yanzhou’s expression shifted slightly. As Yang Rui lunged at him, he grabbed Yang Rui’s wrist and twisted it hard. A “crack” echoed from his joint, and Yang Rui cried out in pain, dropping the fruit knife to the ground.

Pei Yanzhou’s expression was grim, his aura was terrifying. With his other hand, he grabbed Yang Rui’s neck and slammed him to the ground.

He looked down at the fruit knife at his feet, slowly bent down and picked it up, then stepped on Yang Rui’s chest, looking down at him from above, his eyes were dark and terrifying.

Pei Yanzhou played with the fruit knife, the cold blade slid across his bruised cheek. His voice was as cold as the blade, piercing Yang Rui’s heart.

“Little friend, who did you say you were going to kill?”

“Say it again, I didn’t hear you clearly.”

Pei Yanzhou’s lips curled up, but Yang Rui found it terrifying, like a ghost who had just crawled out of hell to take lives.

“Kill you and that bitch.” Yang Rui roared, defying his terrifying gaze.

He was going to make them die, he was going to send them to hell.

A cold glint appeared between Pei Yanzhou’s brows, his sharp gaze was like a sharp sword, as if it was going to pierce through his body. He said coldly, “Try calling me that again?”

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t kill kids.”

He looked at Yang Rui playfully, the fruit knife in his hand slid across his face and neck again and again, a slight force would be enough to cut his skin.

Yang Rui gritted his teeth and shouted, “Bitch! Stinking bitch! Even if you kill me, she’s still a bitch who’s been ridden by thousands of men, a bus.”

He should have been a clear and bright young man, but he had become like this, dirty words spilling from his mouth. Whether it was a problem with his upbringing or his own problem, it was unknown.

Yang Rui spat disdainfully, “Everyone knows Song Xuchen got tired of her and dumped her, only you’re blind and treat her like a treasure. Don’t you find it disgusting when you sleep in the same bed with her?”

Pei Yanzhou’s hand holding the fruit knife tightened, he raised the fruit knife and brought it down towards his face.

Jian Jinci opened the car door and shouted in panic, “Pei Yanzhou, don’t.”

Yang Rui closed his eyes in fear, his body trembling, fear spreading through his limbs.

The fruit knife in Pei Yanzhou’s hand finally grazed his ear and pierced the ground. A red mark appeared on Yang Rui’s ear, and bright red, warm liquid flowed out.

He threw the fruit knife aside, the blade hitting the ground with a crisp sound, “My little girl is scared, she hasn’t seen blood, you deserve to die, it’s not good to scare my little girl.”

“Spend the rest of your life in prison and reform yourself, be a good person in your next life.”

Pei Yanzhou knocked Yang Rui unconscious. Jian Jinci watched Pei Yanzhou walk towards her, she frantically searched for a wet wipe in her bag, pulled out a few and handed them to Pei Yanzhou.

Pei Yanzhou didn’t take them, he stretched out his hand, “Wipe it for me.”

Jian Jinci hesitated for a moment, moved closer to him, hung her head, and carefully wiped his hand.

His eyes were full of tenderness, “Like a little wife.”

Jian Jinci didn’t refute, she kept her head down and said nothing. Pei Yanzhou asked softly, “Scared?”

She still didn’t respond, Pei Yanzhou sighed silently.

After a while, the police and Yu Tian arrived. Yu Tian had just seen her son, and he was taken away by the police. She went up to the police and tore at them, “Officer, what did my son do?”

Police: “Attempted murder with a weapon.”

Yu Tian looked at Yang Rui being carried away in despair. Attempted murder with a weapon, he was only ten years old, at most he would be sentenced to ten years, but if someone was involved, her son would spend the rest of his life in prison.

She covered her mouth and cried, tears streaming down her face. She had only gone to the bathroom for a moment, and this happened without her noticing.

Yu Tian looked at Jian Jinci and Pei Yanzhou standing beside her, she cried and knelt down in front of them, “Miss Jian, Mr. Pei, please, let my son go.”

“It’s my fault for not teaching him well, he’s still young, let him spend ten years in prison as a lesson.”

“Please, don’t lock him up for life.”

“Mr. Pei, I’ll kowtow to you.”

Yu Tian kept kowtowing, her forehead was already broken, oozing red liquid.

Pei Yanzhou remained unmoved. If he were a soft-hearted person, he wouldn’t be here today.

He turned his head to look at Jian Jinci, “Go.”

Jian Jinci didn’t say anything, she walked around to the passenger side, opened the door and got in, fastening her seatbelt.

Pei Yanzhou drove away from the school, driving on the highway, he turned his head to look at her. Jian Jinci was staring blankly out the window. He slowly spoke, “Scared silly?”

Jian Jinci’s face was pale, she hadn’t recovered yet. She shook her head, “No, I was thinking about what would have happened if you had stabbed him.”

How could she repay his kindness? If he had stabbed him, it would have been on the hot search. Everyone would know that the newly listed CEO of Jingche Group in Beijing was ruthless and cruel, harming a ten-year-old boy.

His reputation would be ruined from the moment his knife fell. After it hit the hot search, no one would care what the ten-year-old boy had done wrong, they would only care about his ruthless and cruel methods.

Jingche Group wouldn’t be affected by this, but what about him? He would be privately criticized by everyone, becoming the subject of gossip after dinner.

She would live in guilt for the rest of her life, all because of her.

When the traffic light turned green, Pei Yanzhou reached out and touched her head, patiently calming her down, “You silly girl.”

“I didn’t want to hurt him.”

“I just wanted to teach him a lesson, but it scared you silly.”

Jian Jinci was half-believing, “Really?”

But when she saw his knife fall, it didn’t look like he was just teaching him a lesson.

Pei Yanzhou chuckled, “Really.”

“Pei Yanzhou, why are you so nice to me?”

Since she met Pei Yanzhou, she had already owed him a lot of favors.

Pei Yanzhou’s lips moved slightly, Jian Jinci spoke first, “Don’t try to scare me with the idea of me becoming Mrs. Pei.”

“I’m not stupid.”

The green light came on, Pei Yanzhou started the car, “Because you’re stupid.”

Jian Jinci glared at him reproachfully, “Speak properly!”

Pei Yanzhou’s eyes were filled with amusement, “Do I need a reason to be nice to you?”

His answer was as good as no answer. Jian Jinci didn’t ask further, “Thank you for saving me twice today.”

“Treat me to two meals.” He said.

“Just that simple?” She said she would treat him to two meals, but every time, he cooked for her himself.

“You don’t want anything else.”

Pei Yanzhou, “Like marrying me.”

Jian Jinci: “…”

“You don’t have any other ideas besides these two?”

“No.”

Jian Jinci: “…”

Pei Yanzhou drove her home. After she opened the door, she stopped and hesitated for a moment before turning around to look at Pei Yanzhou standing by the car, “Do you have anything tonight?”

“If you don’t, why don’t you stay for dinner, I’ll cook and I’ll wash the dishes.”

After a long pause, he slowly said, “Okay.”
