If this person were replaced by an elder of the Tao family.
Tao Mufan wouldn't pay attention at all.
However, the person who issued the order became Pei Yanzhou. Whenever he saw this man's cold and angular face, Tao Mufan was sincerely afraid and awed.
He honestly pulled up a small bench and sat at the door of the kitchen and started peeling garlic.
Since coming to Su City, he has often helped Fang Qiu do this kind of thing.
After all, it’s not easy to live and eat for free while living in someone else’s house.
Pei Yanzhou took off the Patek Philippe in his hand and handed it to Cheng Xi, "Hold it for me."
Cheng Xi took it and tutted, "Aren't you afraid that I'll lose it."
"If you lose it, just lose it." Pei Yanzhou put on the apron nonchalantly.
Tao Mufan was shocked: "..."
Awesome, boss, that’s tens of millions.
Cheng Xi put the watch back into his pocket, "Okay, I'll leave the kitchen to you two."
It happened that Fang Qiu had not yet applied medicine on her body, so she turned around and entered the room.
In the kitchen, Tao Mufan was cautious, not even daring to take a breath.
But his peripheral vision glanced at Pei Yanzhou involuntarily.
Pei Yanzhou calmly took out the fish from the bag, cleaned it, poured cooking wine and put ginger slices on it.
"Can you cook?" Pei Yanzhou suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Tao Mufan hesitated when he realized that he was talking to him, "No... very good."
"I heard that your Tao family is very patriarchal. You must have been pampered and raised by your family since you were a child."
Pei Yanzhou carefully washed the carrots, rubbing them carefully with his slender and clean fingers under the water. With the sound of rushing water, Tao Mufan's heart tightened, and he did not even dare to speak.
"I looked up Cheng Xi's past and found that she had lived a very hard life since she was a child."
Pei Yanzhou washed a carrot and put it aside. "Her biological father was a gambler and a violent man. He ignored his wife and daughter, and her own grandmother didn't care either. She just made peace with her. Fang Qiu took Cheng Xi to remarry, and he also relied on others. Oh, yes. Now, her stepfather’s nephew is married and he keeps harassing her.”
Tao Mufan was shocked: "..."
Pei Yanzhou glanced at him coldly, "The Tao family saw on their mobile phones how glamorous she is now, so they came over to threaten her and ask for benefits. I heard that your family wanted Cheng Xi to make a debut and make you a star at the beginning?"
The temperature in the kitchen seemed to have dropped by many degrees, and Tao Mufan was flustered, "I...I don't have such thoughts now."
"You should be lucky that you have been honest with Cheng Xi and her daughter since you came here, and you are of a little bit of value to Cheng Xi."
Pei Yanzhou's thin lips curled up into a sneer, "Otherwise, I will make all of you in the Tao family regret ever threatening Cheng Xi. I remember that your parents are both working, and you said that when people become unemployed in middle age, they still cannot get pensions. Pension, and having two legs broken..."
"Don't..." Tao Mufan was afraid and said with a pale face, "I'll leave tomorrow, I can leave tonight, but don't hurt my parents..."
"I didn't say let you go. You did a good job today. You are still of some use at the moment. Stay here to protect Fang Qiu and Cheng Xi. If you and your family dare to have other ideas because of my identity, Then don’t blame me for being rude.”
Pei Yanzhou said calmly, "Anyone who dares to threaten me will end badly. If you don't believe me, I will let you see it when Cheng Zhouhua brings him back."
"No... no need."
Tao Mufan was shocked. Although he usually said that he was very powerful, in fact, he had never even seen blood during the fight.
"Work hard, Cheng Xi is actually a soft-hearted person. Control your restless thoughts, and she will naturally give you a chance." Pei Yanzhou didn't mind giving him a sweet date after hitting him with a stick.
Tao Mufan really didn't dare to think about it at all.
