The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Take You Home

“Young Master…” The old security guard rushed over when he saw An Jian. “I already called the others over.”

The guard saw Pei Zhi Yi and An Nuan earlier but did not do anything when he saw that the two were only talking.

Moreover, Pei Zhi Yi was a frequent visitor to An Group. It was said that this man was An family’s son-in-law. It was only after he saw Pei Zhi Yi pushing An Nuan to the car that the old guard decided to call the other guards ti help. Before he could help An Nuan, An Jian already appeared.

“Thank you.” An Jian said. “Nuan Nuan, are you alright?” An Jian asked without looking at his younger sister. He was concerned about her but was worried that Pei Zhi Yi might act crazy again.

“I’m fine.” An Nuan massaged the area where Pei Zhi Yi had gripped her tighter earlier.

Now that she was away from Pei Zhi Yi, An Nuan realized that the area on her arm was sore. After all, Pei Zhi Yi had grabbed her more than once.

This man was too scary.

As the thought came to her mind, An Nuan hid half of her body behind her elder brother where she would feel safer.

“Mr. Pei, you should leave here before I throw you out,” An Jian said. His eyes were staring straight at Pei Zhi Yi sharply. As soon as Pei Zhi Yi made a move, An Jian would not hesitate to beat him.

“Brother An Jian…” Pei Zhi Yi flashed an amiable smile.

“I am not your brother,” An Jian retorted.

The smile on Pei Zhi Yi’s face turned slightly awkward. “I just need to talk to Nuan Nuan for a bit. I don’t mean no harm.”

An Jian took a step forward while giving Pei Zhi Yi a warning look. “My little sister has nothing to say to you. Now, leave.”

“An Jian…” Pei Zhi Yi looked at An Jian with a hint of pleading.

It was not easy for him to meet An Nuan again. If he could not convince her to come back to him, An Jian did not know when else he would be able to see her.

No. He has to speak to An Nuan again and coax her.

“Mr. Pei, I know that you came over to discuss the collaboration between our two companies.”

Pei Zhi Yi’s face changed the moment An Jian mentioned the collaboration between their two companies.

He had almost forgotten.

The reason he came to An Group this time was to talk to An Jian or An Qi about their collaboration.

Initially, the two companies were going to work together on a huge project. However, An Group changed their mind after he left the wedding ceremony.

These days, Pei Zhi Yi’s elders and the shareholders were pressing him to coax An Nuan again.

They were aware that without the An Group, they would not have enough capital to venture into the project. They needed An Group investment.

“I’m sure that you have heard the answer from my assistant before. But, let me tell you again.” An Jian narrowed his eyes dangerously. “It is impossible for us to work with someone like you. You don’t have to show up in front of us anymore.”

“No. You can’t do this.” Pei Zhi Yi frowned. “Brother An Jian, we have agreed to collaborate. You can’t just pull away like this.”

“Of course, we can.” An Jian chuckled. “Mr. Pei, we haven’t signed an agreement on that collaboration.”

“Your father has agreed,” Pei Zhi Yi pointed out.

“That was just a verbal agreement. Pei Zhi Yi, in case you have not forgotten, we were supposed to sign that agreement after you married my younger sister.” The corner of An Jian’s lips turned into a mocking smile. “Since that wedding did not happen, you can forget that collaboration.”

“This is wrong.”

“Is it?” An Jian scoffed.

“You can’t do this.” Pei Zhi Yi gritted his teeth. He knew well that there was nothing he could do. As An Jian had pointed out, they haven’t signed a proper contract. “Brother An Jian, An Group needs SP Group if you want to venture into the project.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. An Group already found another company that we can work with.” An Jian turned to his younger sister and held her hand. “Nuan Nuan, let’s go. I will take you home.”

An Nuan nodded. She too wanted to leave the scene quickly. An Nuan was worried that Pei Zhi Yi was going to act crazy again and fight with her elder brother. She did not want them to start getting physical.

With An Jian by An Nuan’s side, Pei Zhi Yi did not dare to approach her. Moreover, his thoughts dwelled on Pei Zhi Yi’s words.

An Group no longer wanted to work with their company. Then, what was he supposed to do now?

His elders would definitely be unhappy when they heard the news.

…

Meanwhile, An Jian took his younger sister back into the building before heading into the basement parking lot.

He let An Nuan sit in the passenger’s seat before going into the driver’s seat.

Once the engine was on, An Jian turned to his younger sister again. “Are you really alright? Pei Zhi Yi… he did not do anything to harm you, right?”

“No.” An Nuan shook her head.

Of course, An Nuan was not going to tell her elder brother about the slight bruise that was starting to show on her arm.

“But, Nuan Nuan, what are you doing here?”

“Dad left a document. He needs it for the meeting.” An Nuan’s expression changed as the words escaped her lips. “Elder Brother, is this alright? I know that you are busy with work. I can go back on my own.”

“No. I’ll drive you back.”

“Then, what about the meeting?”

“Dad is still around.” An Jian patted his younger sister on the head. “He can handle the meeting.” He took out his phone and decided to send a text to his father to explain the situation.

The company matters were important. But nothing was as important as his younger sister at this moment.

An Jian knew that his father would scold him if he was to return to the company after An Nuan had faced that lunatic Pei Zhi Yi.

“Wear your seatbelt,” An Jian reminded his younger sister.

As the car left the basement parking lot, An Nuan stole a glance at the building entrance.

A breath of relief escaped her when she saw that Pei Zhi Yi was no longer around.
