Pei Yue always felt that the beating sounds she heard before were weird, but even if she wanted to leave here early, she had to wait until after six o'clock in the day. It was difficult to call a taxi near Qingyi Villa at night.

Finally, at dawn, Pei Yue changed into a set of casual clothes, pulled her suitcase and left the room. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by two bodyguards at the door of the guest garden.

One of them took out a surveillance printout of her setting off a lantern by the river last night.

"Miss Pei Yue, is this you?"

Pei Yue didn't understand what they meant, and felt a little sensitive in her heart, "It's me. I put two lights on for my parents, isn't that okay?"

"No, it's not impossible, but I have something else to do. The master of the house has asked you to go. Please come with us."

When Pei Yue was taken away, Xi Yanchen was taking a bath.

In the middle of the night last night, he and Xi Zhaoyan took Yuanyuan's relics and sent them to the pet hospital he often visited for cremation.

However, there were still a series of things to do before the cremation, and the cremation was scheduled for 12 noon, so after Xi Yanchen handed Yuanyuan over to the pet hospital, it was already dawn when she came back.

Before he could take a breath after taking a shower, the internal line he arranged at the old man's place sent him a message: "Master Qi is not good, and he has taken Miss Pei Yue to the meeting hall!"

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The old man once again sat in the high hall of the meeting hall. Except for Xi Yanchen and Xi Zhaoyan, the other sons of the old man were there with their families.

Pei Yue stood in the hall, with the bodyguard beside him holding a tablet computer, which was playing a surveillance video.

First, she was placing a lantern alone by the river. After a while, she entered the woods. Then, a bright red cat was thrown out of the woods. Then she came out of the woods and ran away in the direction of the lake.

So far, this video has been played many times, and the purpose is naturally very clear, to prove that the cat in the video was killed by her.

Pei Yue now also learned from other Xi family members that the cat was Xi Yanchen's pet for six years, Yuanyuan.

Xi Yanchen's cat died, but neither he nor his brother Xi Zhaoyan was there. Instead, the old man and other Xi family members were here to judge her.

Pei Yue had already thought that this person wanted to accuse Xi Yanchen behind her back and use the cat as an excuse to get rid of her.

Although Pei Yue guessed it, the most powerless thing was that she was alone. In this Qingyi Villa, she had no idea how to prove her innocence.

She looked numbly at the looping video and said stubbornly: "I didn't do such a thing. I will never do anything to hurt Xi Yanchen in my life!"

Ling Mei is also present at this moment.

She failed to get Pei Yue last night, so she would not let go of this opportunity now, "But in this world, there are many ungrateful people who repay kindness with hatred and do inhumane evil things. Evil thoughts cannot be reconciled with love."

It makes sense."

Pei Yue could not deny that Ling Mei, as a strong woman, had certain advantages.

For example, what she said makes sense.

But it would be too much to impose on her.

In the past nine years, she has been extremely kind to her eldest family and their family. From the beginning to the end, they treated her like a cow, a horse, and a chess piece.

"Am I ungrateful?" Pei Yue asked Ling Mei with a serious look on her face, "Why did President Xi get me 20 million in living expenses from Xi Xiao yesterday? I think Madam has not forgotten it, right?"

It was because Xi Yanchen was transferred from the headquarters to reveal the work she had done after joining Xi's branch, and found that she had made a profit of 2 billion for Xi's.

Two billion, but she only has less than two million in pocket money!

Zhou Bapi felt ashamed when he saw Ling Mei.

Ling Mei naturally felt a little guilty when she mentioned this. She raised her voice and said, "Don't change the subject. We are talking about cats now!"

Then, Ling Mei walked up to the old man and bought a cup of tea for him, "Dad, that kitten has been raised by Lao Liu and Lao Qi for several years. Now that the two of them haven't come over, I think she is very sad...

..."

"If Pei Yue can't pay off Xiao'er's money, then he still belongs to my eldest family. It's because of my unfavorable discipline. I'll ask my father to make a decision."

Just as Pei Yue was about to retort, Ling Mei came towards her with a mocking smile, and bent down to whisper in her ear: "Do you still want to say that it was not you who did it, and you will not do anything to hurt Xi Yanchen?"

?”

Pei Yue's eyes trembled.

Ling Mei, "Pei Yue, even when your Pei family was glorious, the Xi family would not take it seriously."

"I would only fall in love with you when my son is disabled. Do you think... a low-class young lady like you is worthy of being the young head of the Xi family?"

"If it weren't for the fact that Xi Yanchen's help for you was too high-profile and inconsistent with his status, how could his cat die?"

Hearing this, Pei Yue closed her eyes and gave up struggling.

The things that made her parents despair back then could only be solved by the power of Dafang. Looking at the power of the entire Xi family, it is even more difficult to estimate.

Then the old man also said: "Three billion is not a big amount. Women with no bottom line cannot stay."

Ling Mei nodded immediately: "That's what dad said."

The old man took another sip of tea and said, "Then we will enact the ninth family law, and give her thirty billion to offset the three billion she owes, and send it far away..."

Pei Yue still didn't speak. In this situation, no matter how much she said, it would just be a mouthful and would not have any effect.

What's more, leaving the Xi family has been her wish for many years. It would be easier to leave with just a few beatings than paying three billion.

Just thinking that she might never see Xi Yanchen again made her heart aching and her eyes swollen.

Didn't I just sleep with him for one night? Why couldn't I let him go?

Soon, the butler brought up the props for the family technique, a bench for people to lie down on, and a black riding crop.

That whip was the whip used by Xi's ancestors when they rode the sweaty horse, and it can be considered an antique.

Just as the butler handed the whip to a burly bodyguard, a loud bang was heard from the door of the meeting hall.

Such a sound is like thunder in early spring, frightening but full of hope.

Pei Yue thought it was Xi Yanchen, and when she turned around with hope, the light in her eyes instantly disappeared.

It's not Xi Yanchen, it's Xi Xiao.

Pei Yue's shoulders trembled as she recalled what Xi Xiao said yesterday about wanting to whip her personally.

Xi Xiao's torture over the years has subtly cast a psychological shadow on her.

Xi Xiao arrived at Pei Yue's side under the attention of everyone.

The woman closed her eyes tightly, holding on to the hem of her clothes with both hands, waiting for punishment and humiliation to come.

But no one expected that Xi Xiao suddenly said to the old man in Gaotang, "I killed the cat."

Everyone was in an uproar, and Ling Mei shouted excitedly: "Xiao'er, what are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense." Xi Xiao looked at Pei Yue. Even though her expression was very indifferent, Xi Xiao had bullied her for nine years and he could tell that she was afraid.

He turned back and clicked on a video on his phone, "This is all the surveillance video of my activities in the villa last night. I looked for Pei Yue when she put on the lights, and I also threatened her in the woods...
