Chapter 154
Meng Yashu's eyes widened in sheer absurdity as he turned to look elsewhere, filled with panic.
Weisheng Wenzhan adjusted his frameless glasses, the cold light reflecting off them as he looked down on him. "Hello, Mr. Meng."
Weisheng Biehe twirled a string of prayer beads between his fingers, his lips curling into a sly smirk. "What a pity, Mr. Meng."
Weisheng Lin yawned lazily. "I was so f***ing bored I almost fell asleep waiting for you! I thought you weren't coming at all!"
Meng Yashu took a sharp breath, then stared in disbelief at Lou Tingsi.
Lou Tingsi raised an eyebrow with a sweet smile. "Why the look, Mr. Meng? Aren't you welcoming us?"
Ying Chen grinned maniacally. "Mr. Meng, we're all a bunch of freaks here. You gotta smile, just like us. Come on, smile~"
Everyone relaxed their eyes and formed a chilling grin.
Meng Yashu couldn't believe it. "How did you get in here?! How is this possible?!!"
Someone gently poked his shoulder.
He jumped in fright, looking for the source.
Weisheng Huailing in his white wool coat, smiled innocently at him, signing in silence: ?I let them in!? He then gave himself a thumbs up: ?I'm super professional!!?
Meng Yashu couldn't understand, but his fear made his legs go weak as he pushed him away and ran. "Guards! Guards! Help! Help!!!"
Huailing yanked him back in one swift motion, kicking him away.
He rolled to the feet of Pei Yuan, scrambling to get up, only to be stepped upon by Pei Youchuan.
Pei ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Youchuan grinned maliciously. "Don't move, okay~"
Meng Yashu's face turned pale. "Let me go! What do you want from me?!?"
Pei Yuan slowly crouched down, looking him in the eye. "When you asked if I wanted to buy that painting, what were you thinking?"
Meng Yashu's eyes were already reddened, his teeth clenched as he stared back.
Pei Yuan calmly asked, "Were you thinking, 'I will kill your sister, while you obliviously buy this painting from me. It will hang there, watching over your home,' right?"
Meng Yashu was sweating profusely, his eyes shifting guiltily. "No, it's not like that! You're all wronging me, I'm just an ordinary artist!"
Pei Yuan chuckled faintly, taking his time to respond. "No worries, I'm not looking for an answer here."
He stood up, looking down at him with disdain. "You know, in Pei Clan, there are only us siblings left. It's been quite a while since a moron like you directly got on my nerves."
Meng Yashu looked at them in terror, trembling as his voice rose. "I swear I didn't have any designs on your sister! I—uh!!"
He was dragged away by someone who had stepped out from the shadows.
Pei Yuan wasn't staring anymore, shifting his eyes to the pictures on the wall.
The wall was covered from top to bottom with pictures, but there was a blatant empty space in the middle.
This missing piece would never be filled up.
His mood felt a bit better as he hummed the same tune Meng Yashu had sung earlier.
"'Where are you going, taking my soul away with you~'" Pei Yuan sang sweetly to himself: "It's spellbound by you, like this serving no purpose~"
His phone buzzed.
It was a message from Qiao Chuchu: "Everything ready?"
Qiao Chuchu sent a pathetic puppy emoji.
He quirked a smile and replied: "Ten minutes, get ready."
Qiao Chuchu: "Great! It's all just desserts here. I'm so bored, we should grab something to eat after this!"
Pei Yuan: "Sure, whatever you want."
Qiao Chuchu: "Yes! You're the best, big brother!"
Pei Yuan chuckled. "I like that. Keep it coming."
Qiao Chuchu responded quickly: "You're the best you're the best you're the best you're the best!"
She also sent a sweet emoji.
"I'll wait for you to get back!~"
