The next day at noon, Si Fuqing visited the Pei family estate.
The flight Jiang Changning had booked was in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time.
âMiss Si!â Pei Yan greeted her excitedly. âMiss Si is truly amazing. The big orders we lost last week, the clients came back today and signed with us, expressing their utmost satisfaction with our proposal.â
In less than a day, the Pei family business had been revived from the brink.
âCongratulations,â Si Fuqing said as she sat down, her brows arching.
âSomeone in your family wants me dead.â
Upon hearing this, Pei Yanâs legs went weak: âWho dares to be so bold? Miss Si, just say the word, and Iâll deal with them immediately! Is it Pei Xu?â
âItâs Pei Zhen, I believe thatâs the name.â Si Fuqing opened a can of soda. âTo make a move against me, they must have hired a curse master against you.â
âPei Zhen?â Pei Yan was shocked. âHer?!â
Si Fuqing sipped on her coke. âWhat? You donât believe it?â
âNo, no, no,â Pei Yan shook his head. âI believe you, Miss Si, but I didnât expect it to be her.â
Pei Zhen wasnât actually a blood relative of the Pei family but the daughter of a deceased friend whom the elder Pei had adopted.
Pei Yan had always treated her well, no different from a real sister.
He had never imagined that Pei Zhen would be the one to betray them.
âNo wonder,â Si Fuqing nodded, understanding after his explanation. âBut itâs common for siblings in wealthy families to fight each other, so itâs not surprising.â
âI never imagined sheâs been doing this for over a decade!â Pei Yan gritted his teeth. âThe elder was still alive back then; how could she harbor such deep schemes?â
âSheâs here, right?â Si Fuqing looked up. âBring her here.â
âIâll go right away,â Pei Yan left furiously.
Half an hour later, Pei Zhen arrived
Pei Yan had never imagined that such a beautiful appearance hid a malicious heart, wanting his entire family dead.
âBig brother,â Pei Zhen sounded concerned. âHowâs the company doing? You called me over in such a hurry, do you need help with something?â
âHow can you still have the face to ask?â Pei Yanâs face darkened. âDonât you know what youâve done?â
Pei Zhen was puzzled, âBig brother, what are you talking about? I donât understand.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThereâs no need,â Si Fuqing interrupted. âJust have her take this.â
Seeing the old box containing a cursed item, Pei Zhenâs expression changed subtly but soon regained composure, âMiss, what do you mean by this?â
âI donât care whether you recognize it or not, but Iâve modified this item,â Si Fuqing smiled. âNow it targets you, not Pei Mengzhi and his family .â
âYou like playing with these kinds of things, right? Try it yourself.â
Hearing this, Pei Zhenâs expression finally changed completely, and her pupils constricted, âThe Master of Yin-Yang is you?!â
The Master of Yin -Yang the curse master had referred to was a girl not even twen ty?
How could this be?
Pei Yan looked at Si Fuqing in shock, standing up abruptly, âMiss Si, you, you,
you⦠â
âSit down, be quiet,â Si Fuqing said calmly. Pei Yan sat down, his heart racing.
It made sense.
Apart from a Master of Yin-yang, who else could easily resolve such a curse?
âBut if Miss Si is a Master of Yin-yang, then what about the Zuo family? Are they fools?â
âIt was me,â Pei Zhen admitted, realizing she couldnât hide it anymore. âA bird dies for food, a human for wealth. Whatâs wrong with what I did? The elder only left me real estate, which is enough for living, but shares are what truly matter.â
Pei Yan was deeply disappointed, âYou finally admit it!â
âI never thought, Big Brother, that you could find a Master of Yin-yang, â Pei
Zhen said, her nails digging into her palms, somewhat disoriented. âThe Masters of Yin-Yang are supposed to be gone! If there are any, theyâre in
Eastern Mulberry. How did youâ¦â
If Si Fuqing hadnât interfered, the Pei family business would have been hers!
Pei Zhen was filled with resentment, her eyes filled with viciousness.
âDonât bother me with your family matters,â Si Fuqing wasnât interested in hearing more. âIâm leaving. Solve this yourselves.â
Pei Yan quickly stood up, âWe apologize for troubling you, Miss Si.â
Outside, in the garden, Mrs. Pei, holding onto the arm of the elder Grandma Pei, walked slowly over.
âMiss Si, thank you!â As soon as she saw Si Fuqing, Grandma Pei wanted to kneel, âIf not for you, I really donât know what would have become of our family..â
