Chapter 85 - 79: Bringing Her Back to Beicheng
Pei Che was caught off guard and his head turned to the left from the blow, a buzzing sound ringing in his ear, making his already injured head throb even more.
The mark from the previous slap had barely faded, and this one quickly made his face swell and redden.
As Zhou Ruo came out of the room and saw this scene, she let out a scream, rushing over to block her husband: "He’s still hurt, why are you hitting so hard?!"
"I want to beat this unfilial son to death!" Pei Fengnan clutched his heaving chest, struggling to catch his breath, coughing and gasping, "Look at the good deeds he’s done since returning to the country, where is there any sign of a corporate leader!? How can I possibly hand over the grand Pei Family to him in the future!"
Last time, he caused a scandal by getting drunk at a bar; this time, he’s drunkenly injured himself and got involved with Shen Jianian.
He never thought his son would be so capable, running all the way to Yicheng to find someone.
"Why don’t you find another successor?" Pei Che turned his face back, meeting his father’s furious eyes directly.
"What do you mean?"
Pei Fengnan’s expression was more than just ugly; he had only one son—where was he supposed to find another successor? Did this unfilial son truly want to anger him to death?
"I’m not interested in inheriting the family business." Pei Che spoke truthfully, "When I promised to join the company upon returning to the country, it was to use the company’s influence to investigate the truth behind the Shen Family’s downfall and Little Nian’s whereabouts. Now that both matters are clear, there’s no need for me to stay in the company."
Pei Fengnan looked at him incredulously: "Are you saying you’re abandoning the family for a woman?"
"Living feels meaningless." Pei Che tugged at the corners of his mouth, unable to muster even a hint of a smile. Seeing his father’s furious expression and his mother’s sorrowful, bewildered gaze, he remained unmoved, "Just thinking about how the glorious exterior of that company is smeared with others’ blood makes me feel sick."
