Chapter 193 The Ruthless Patriarch 2 (1/2)

He immersed himself in his own world, finding amusement in listening to the thoughts of his playmates.

It turns out that Pei Mozhi gained the ability to hear other people's thoughts after a car accident.

The voices he heard mostly revolved around money, interests, and power; they were all the same.

Only the female lead, Jin Yue, persisted for three months.

For the first two months, her mind was simple and focused; all she could think about was how to earn money to treat her mother's illness.

However, once the money for her mother's surgery was raised, Jin Yue's thoughts began to change.

She secretly plotted how to get close to and win over Pei Mozhi, the head of the Pei family, wanting to become the mistress of the Pei family and enjoy endless wealth and glory.

She tried various methods to attract Pei Mozhi's attention, dressing sexily to deliberately seduce him, and even hiding naked in his bed.

But Pei Mozhi remained unmoved.

Pei Mozhi watched as if he were watching a clown, observing Jin Yue's elaborate scheme to seduce him.

Eventually, Pei Mozhi grew tired of the situation and let Jin Yue leave with her luggage, paying her an extra 100,000 yuan.

This means that, aside from the money Jin Yue received for her mother's medical treatment, she only received an additional 100,000 yuan over three months before being laid off.

Having witnessed the Pei family's immense wealth, Jin Yue was naturally unwilling to give up so easily.

Before she could take any further action, her gambling father robbed her of her money, tied her up with a belt, and sold her to a local remarried businessman for a dowry of 500,000.

Jin Yue ultimately died tragically from domestic violence perpetrated by her boss.

However, Jin Yue's death was not the end, but the beginning of her fate.

She did not truly perish, but was reborn into the body of a female college student who had lost both parents and was left with only a small apartment.

During her university years, she had a chance encounter with the male lead, Fu Moyan, the young master of the Fu family.

After many twists and turns, the two not only joined forces to bring down Pei Mozhi, but also eventually got married and held a grand wedding.

The original owner of this body had little interaction with the main characters or the villains; her only identity was as an assistant to the Pei family's private doctor.

But it's also a standard trope for the female lead: her father doesn't care for her, her mother has passed away, leaving her broken.

Today, at the urging of her stepmother, the original owner's father demanded that she marry a fifty-year-old coal mine owner.

However, according to the plot, the original owner, who was a private doctor's assistant, had been assisting the doctor in his work.

Today, due to the worsening of Pei Mozhi's obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, she accompanied the doctor to the Pei Group to check if there were any triggers that caused his obsessive-compulsive disorder to worsen.

However, Pei Mozhi surprisingly proposed that the original owner sign a one-month companionship contract.

The original owner coldly rejected this request.

Pei Mozhi was initially intrigued because he couldn't hear the original owner's thoughts.

This refusal piqued Pei Mozhi's interest even more.

He then changed his mind and proposed a marriage contract.

According to the original plot, the marriage only lasted for a month before Pei Mozhi grew tired of it.

After the divorce, the original owner took the money she had received and went abroad, but unfortunately she was shot and killed in a convenience store.

Now, the wish that the original owner left for Zixi is to truly live authentically and no longer be dominated by anyone else's will.

"Didn't you say you were going to answer the phone? You just fell asleep like that?"

Pei Mozhi stood in front of Zi Xi. He leaned down slightly, and his calloused, well-defined fingers reached out without warning to gently caress Zi Xi's cheek.

His gaze swept over her face, finally settling on her rosy lips. He moved closer, his warm breath brushing against her forehead.

Suddenly, I met a pair of brown eyes.

Zi Xi never expected that she would be almost face-to-face with Pei Mozhi when she opened her eyes.

"Patriarch Pei, please stay away from me."

"Wouldn't the Pei family head breach the contract if I sign my name today?"

"Then we need to add another clause: those who violate the rules will be subject to penalties."

Zi Xi's voice trailed off, her light laughter tinged with amusement.

"You're really quick-witted."

Pei Mozhi's thumb, with the feel of assessing goods, slowly caressed her smooth cheek, and he chuckled softly.
