Daily Intelligence: Forced to Save the Beautiful President at the Beginning

Zhang Fan looked at her, and suddenly felt—although this plot was very melodramatic and their cohabitation life was chaotic, perhaps... it wasn’t so bad after all.

He didn’t notice, however, that when he turned to blow-dry his hair, Song Zhiwei quietly took out her phone, deleted a number in her contacts labeled ”Pei Yunxiao,” and a flash of determination crossed her eyes.

With Zhang Fan by her side, she would never be deceived by that man again like in her previous life.

Pei Yunxiao sat in the maybach that Song Zhiwei had previously given him, his fingers gripping the phone screen until his knuckles turned white. The name ”Song Zhiwei” on the screen lit up and dimmed, the call kept prompting ”The number you dialed is busy,” and even his WeChat messages disappeared into the void.

”What is going on?” He kicked the car door in frustration, a conceited yet angry smile curling his lips. ”I was only intentionally giving her the cold shoulder for a few days, to let her know who is in charge. How dare she not answer my call? When she comes to me voluntarily, if she doesn’t kneel down to apologize and admit her mistake, I won’t pay attention to her for a week!”

He had always been certain that Song Zhiwei would never be able to leave him in this lifetime.

Indeed, in her previous life, she could even hand over the Song family’s business for him. Even if her attitude was a bit cold in this life, deep down she was still that ”lovestruck” girl who revolved around him. But this act of turning off her phone was like a thorn, piercing his heart with unease.

Unable to contain himself, he dialed his father Pei Jianjun’s number.

From the other end of the line came the clattering sound of mahjong tiles being shuffled, mixed with the laughter and scolding of women. Pei Jianjun’s voice sounded impatient: ”Speak up if you have something to say! I’m winning money here!”

”Dad, do you know where Zhiwei went? Her phone is off, I can’t reach her.” Pei Yunxiao tried to keep his tone calm.

”Can’t reach her?” Pei Jianjun’s voice instantly rose. ”How the hell do you have the nerve to ask? This afternoon, people from the Song family came to move her things, saying Zhiwei moved out to live elsewhere! Didn’t you say you had her firmly under your thumb? Now she’s run off and you don’t even know?”

Pei Yunxiao’s heart sank. ”Moved out? Moved where?”

”How would I know!” Pei Jianjun’s voice was even fiercer, accompanied by the crisp sound of slamming mahjong tiles. ”If you can’t handle her and make her ignore our family’s affairs, I’ll beat you to death, you little beast! The gambling debts for this month haven’t been paid off yet, we’re counting on her!”

The words ”gambling debts” were like a whip, making Pei Yunxiao’s temples throb painfully.

His father was a total gambling addict who relied on the money Song Zhiwei secretly gave him every month to fill the hole. If Song Zhiwei really stopped caring, their family would sooner or later be hunted down by debt collectors.

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yunxiao’s face was ashen. Just as he was about to start the car to go find Song Zhiwei, a message popped up on his phone, attached with a blurry photo.

In the photo, Song Zhiwei was following a man into an apartment building, with the caption: ”Miss Song spent 5 million to keep this small game company boss as her boy toy and moved in to live with him.”

”5 million? Keep him as a boy toy?” Pei Yunxiao’s eyes instantly turned red. He stared at the back of the figure in the photo, feeling blood rushing to his head.

He had always firmly believed that Song Zhiwei loved him to death, and even if the whole world betrayed him, she would still stay by his side. But now, she was actually spending money to ”keep” another man? And moved in to live with him?

”How dare she!” Pei Yunxiao slammed the steering wheel hard, and the horn let out a harsh, long blare, drawing side-eyes from passersby.

He took out his phone, flipped through his contacts, found a ”friend” who had helped him spread rumors before, and asked through gritted teeth: ”Help me look up someone. Who is this man in the photo, which game company is he from? As fast as possible!”
