Chapter 1028
Pei Yanzhou couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.
After Cheng Xi hung up, he asked resentfully, "Did that drunk guy call you last time?"
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, and when she met his jealous eyes, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "No."
Pei Yanzhou frowned, "That's the Shanghai man I met last time in the ancient town. Do you still have contact?"
"..."
Cheng Xi sighed silently, "We haven't contacted each other for a long time, okay? The person who called me just now was the monitor of our school. The school graduation ceremony will be tomorrow. The monitor said that we will have a breakup dinner together tomorrow night."
Pei Yanzhou suddenly realized that he remembered that Pei Feiyue said that their school would hold a graduation ceremony tomorrow. She and Cheng Xi were in the same class and were graduating.
"Also, that drunk boy you were talking about..."
Cheng Xi cleared her throat and glanced at him sideways, "The reason why I am willing to let him lean on my shoulder is because it is completely impossible for us. He is my cousin and we are related by blood."
"..."
Pei Yanzhou's pupils were filled with astonishment, "Cousin?"
So he has been mistaking Cheng Xi's cousin for her new boyfriend during this period?
Pei Yanzhou felt like vomiting blood.
"Yes." Cheng Xi crossed her arms, "We are not like you and Mu Ruoqi. You have no blood relationship at all."
Pei Yanzhoujun's face turned red, "Where is your cousin from? I've never heard of you talking about it before. Didn't you say that your relatives on your father's side didn't care about you since you were a child? Didn't you say that you didn't care about you after you came to Su City? .”
Cheng Xi said lightly, "Isn't that just how people are? When you are poor, no one wants to be a relative with you. If you live well, your relatives will come to see you."
Pei Yanzhou immediately frowned gloomily, "In this case, you should let your cousin go."
Cheng Xi pursed her lips, "My grandma and second uncle threatened me that if I didn't arrange a job for my cousin, they would tell my dad about my current studio. My dad had been in He was in prison and was later released. I don’t know what he was doing, but if he knew that my mother and I were doing well now, he would definitely come to us and cause trouble. My studio has just started, so it’s better to do less than to do more.”
Pei Yanzhou's eyes turned gloomy, "Why didn't you tell me what happened so long ago?"
Cheng Xi tugged at her lips, "You were busy with Mu Ruoqi's affairs at that time. You were very busy just talking to you on the phone and sending you WeChat messages."
Pei Yanzhoujun's face turned pale.
Only then did he realize that she had been threatened during that time, and she must have felt uncomfortable.
Being her boyfriend didn't help her at all.
No wonder she was so angry and disappointed with herself.
"Cheng Xi, I'm sorry..." He was very regretful, "I'll call you now to make arrangements so that your father's relatives don't want to cause trouble for you."
"No."
Cheng Xi said, "I have decided to keep Tao Mufan. He is still young and has a good temper. He has been quite diligent during this period. I now ask him to help my mother's shop. It just so happened that Cheng Zhouhua passed away recently. No, just come to the store and pester my mother when you have nothing to do. With him here, Cheng Zhouhua doesn’t dare to mess around."
"Cheng Zhouhua is pestering your mother?" Pei Yanzhou became even more frustrated. As a boyfriend, he failed to fulfill his responsibility to protect his girlfriend and her family.
"He is not doing well now. The furniture store he opened before has also closed down and he owes a lot of debt. Now that he knows that my mother is doing well, he wants to reconcile with my mother."
Cheng Xi said lightly, "Anyway, it's good that Tao Mufan is here now. We usually socialize in the studio, and it's quite useful to have him accompany us for drinks."
