After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 13
Pei Yi emerged from the bathroom at the end of the corridor, and before he could take two steps, he was caught off guard by a heavy push to his shoulder!
“Wait a second.”
Two figures blocked his way, a fat young man and a thin one. He could tell by their attire that they were guests at the banquet, it just wasn’t clear which family’s young masters had come to make trouble for no reason.
Pei Yi took half a step back with a sharp look in his eyes.
“Yo, what’s this look? Still not accepting defeat?”
The fatter young man was the first to be provocative. “Idiot, do you know who we are?”
Pei Yi brushed off the fabric on his shoulder that was touched, disgusted. “Go away.”
“Go away?”
The fatter young man sneered. “Relax, ah, Little Young Master Pei. We’ve finally met, we just want to talk with you”
The more he talked, the closer he got. Knowing that Pei Yi was unwilling, he still hooked his shoulders. “We still haven’t said a few words yet, did we allow you to go?”
This seemed to be striking up a friendly conversation, but was actually a coercive threat.
The other skinny guy said, “Idiot, do you know who you messed with? Since we caught you today, don’t think Bo’er, that blind man, can protect you.”
Bo’er?
Pei Yi heard the clue, and the disgust in his heart became more intense along with a sneer.
It seemed that what Bo Yueming said was correct, that stinky rat that was scratched by Inspector bided his time, and sent two little rat brothers to secretly teach him a “lesson!”
Only, Pei Yi was no longer the original owner, so we wouldn’t be frightened by these few threats and not dare to make a move. He had promised Bo Yueming not to cause trouble, but that didn’t mean he would allow others to step on his head and deliberately bully him.
“……”
Pei Yi clenched his fists silently, and at the moment when he was about to attack, there was suddenly a loud knock on the door to the side.
— Boom!
Both the fat and thin young men were startled, and turned their attention to the security access door that had been kicked open.
Shortly, a young man in a suit emerged, muttering intentionally or unintentionally, “I didn’t expect this door to be so difficult to open. I almost got locked in after smoking a cigarette.”
Pei Yi took the opportunity to break away from the dirty hands on his shoulders, slightly restrained the intentions in his eyes, and looked at this third person who had suddenly appeared—
The other party’s face was very fair, and his facial features could be regarded as outstanding. His long hair was pulled into a wolf tail, and the upper half was teased a bit for volume.
The hand holding the cigarette was white and slender and had a jade-like luster under the lights, particularly good-looking.
Perhaps because he had reached an indoor space where smoking was prohibited, the young man exhaled the last puff of smoke towards the outside of the security door.
He met the eyes of the fat and thin people, and then at Pei Yi, who was helplessly caught in the middle. “I say, is it appropriate for the two of you to bully Little Young Master Pei together? The Bo and Pei families just announced the marriage at the banquet, you…..”
“Li Yuan, you stop meddling!”
The fat and thin young men recognized him, and their initial vigilance turned to ridicule. “Look at the suit you’re wearing, what poor street stall brand is that? How dare you sneak into this banquet?”
“…….”
Li Yuan revealed a sullen expression, and silently crushed the unfinished cigarette into the trash can.
Hearing this conversation, Pei Yi’s ultimate guess turned out to be true—
As expected, the plot was consistent with the original book. In addition to the “villain” Bo Yueming, the “male lead gong” Yan Cen, and Pei Yuan, the “male lead shou,” there was also the number one most important supporting role.
It was Li Yuan in front of him!
Just as Pei Yi was thinking, Li Yuan walked over directly. He bumped away the fat and thin people on both sides with his shoulders and pulled Pei Yi to his side at once with mixed resentment and resignation. “What a fool, these people are going to bully you, why don’t you run away?”
“…….”
Pei Yi was stumped for words. Unexpectedly, the first time they met, he would be roasted by the other party.
Li Yuan thought he was senselessly unable to react, so he just wanted to take Pei Yi out, but the fat and thin duo reacted first. “Li Yuan, I told you to mind your own business!”
Li Yuan was still defiant. “Wei Bo, Chen Yang, if you block Pei Yi and bully him like this, aren’t you afraid that the Bo and Pei families will find out?”
The fatter Chen Yang tugged at his collar, wearing a haughty expression. “So what if they find out? This fool is clearly unfavored by the Pei family, and Bo Yueming is blind, so can he protect him?”
Wei and Chen had a long-term cooperation with a subsidiary of the second branch of the Bo family, and the two of them had been eating, drinking, and having fun with Bo Wang. Nowadays, seeing that Bo Yueming had become blind, they naturally wanted to curry favor with Bo Wang! This Pei Yi had no eyes and no brains, and if he made Bo Wang unhappy, then he deserved what he got!
“Li Yuan, let me warn you again, this matter had nothing to do with you! You…..”
“What are you doing talking so much with him? The Li family was expelled from the circle forever ago, let’s deal with them together!”
Li Yuan heard the malicious threat from the two, and the stubbornness in his bones broke out in an instant. He pushed Pei Yi back, “Fool, what are you doing? Run out and call someone, I’ll take care of these two idiots for you first.”
As soon as the word “idiots” was uttered, it immediately infuriated Wei Bo and Chen Yang, who had come to find fault.
Pei Yi, who was pushed away, could see that Li Yuan didn’t have much fighting strength. If he pretended to be stupid and ran out to call someone, then returned with the rescuers, the other party would definitely be wounded in action!
After a moment of thought, Pei Yi caught a glimpse of a fire extinguisher placed by the wall of the corridor. Practically without hesitation, he rushed to pick it up and pulled out the safety pin.
“Close your eyes!”
Li Yuan, who saw Pei Yi’s actions, reacted quickly. On the contrary, Wei and Chen, whose backs were turned, were unaware and turned around one after the other to check the situation.
— Ssss!
Pei Yi seized the opportunity and pressed the trigger on them.
The two of them had no time to react and faced the impact of the fire extinguishing agent. Half a step slow, covered their irritated eyes, tripping over their feet and falling to the ground.
Pei Yi stopped pressing the fire extinguisher, but Li Yuan rushed up when the smoke was still there and kicked the two on the ground one by one. “Pei! What rubbish!”
Wei Bo and Chen Yang let out terrible wailing sounds. They had obviously been kicked hard.
The corners of Pei Yi’s mouth turned up, and he suddenly heard the footsteps of a large group of people approaching from the corridor.
At the same time, accompanied by the voice of the head attendant, “Old Mr. Bo, Mr. Pei, Second Young Master, they are here!”
“……”
Second Young Master?
Did he mean Bo Yueming?
The smile at the corner of Pei Yi’s mouth froze slightly, and he unobtrusively hugged the fire extinguisher he was carrying into his arms. It wasn’t until he had completed his emotional preparation that he turned around and hurried over to his target.
In front of everyone, he ran directly into Bo Yueming’s arms. “Er-ge!”[1]
Bo Yueming was stunned, and a trace of undisguised astonishment flashed across his face.
Er-ge?
Was Pei Yi calling him?
Pei Yi, who fell into his arms because he was unable to brake, adjusted his posture and raised his head aggrievedly. “They, they bullied me!”
Soft hair brushed between his lips and nose with a ticklish, fragrant scent, even smoother than Inspector’s long hair.
“……”
Bo Yueming’s thoughts wandered for a moment, and then he heard Old Mr. Bo ask the attendant, “What are you still going? Hurry and help the young masters up!”
The attendant responded in a panic.
Bo Guancheng guessed that this wave of trouble must have been caused by Pei Yi, so he took the opportunity to give a “friendly” reminder, “Grandpa, looking at the situation, it is likely that Pei Yi took the fire extinguisher and sprayed the two young masters. They need to wash their eyes quickly, it won’t be good if they are injured.”
Injure their eyes?
Then wouldn’t they be blinded like Second Young Master Bo?
When the guests heard this, they gasped in unison. The elders of the Wei and Chen families were even more worried, and ran to check on the situations of their precious sons.
Bo Wang, who was standing at the rear, saw the distressed appearances of the two, and cursed inwardly while taking a drink—
Fuck, these two pieces of trash!
Together, they couldn’t beat Pei Yi, a fool?
Old Mr. Bo’s expression plummeted as he watched another incident happen at his birthday banquet. He didn’t want to directly attack Pei Yi, so he had to give the Pei couple a meaningful look.
Pei Ruzhang saw this, and his face that had just cooled down became embarrassed again.
Again and again!
How could Pei Yi, a fool, lose face for him like this? If he had known earlier, he would have learned from the old man at home and made an excuse not to come today!
“Apologies, I’ve troubled everyone,” Pei Ruzhang choked out. He bit the bullet and continued, “I don’t know what stimulated this nephew again, and the two young masters were implicated.”
Again?
The two young masters were implicated?
Even before asking for the full story, you put all the blame on him?
The disgust in Pei Yi’s heart increased a bit, and then he heard Bo Yueming at his side defend him, “Isn’t Director Pei being too arbitrary? How do you know that Pei Yi must have instigated this matter?”
“…….”
Pei Ruzhang was at a loss for words.
Although Bo Yueming couldn’t see the situation in front of him, he hadn’t forgotten Pei Yi’s feelings. He stretched out his hand and felt around to pet the other person’s back, calmly and with trust and encouragement.
“Pei Yi, don’t be afraid. Explain things clearly and slowly.”
Pei Yi took a deep look at Bo Yueming, and his heartstrings were plucked.
He maintained the behavior of the original owner and gave a general account of the matter, and in the end, he didn’t forget to repeat in a mutter, “They bullied me first, really!”
Li Yuan stepped forward. “Everyone, what Little Young Master Pei says is true, I can testify.”
“What nonsense!”
The elder of the Wei family gave a hard look at the powerless Li Yuan and took the opportunity to have an attitude. “Old Mr. Bo, it’s not that I won’t give you face.”
“Our two families came to celebrate your birthday, and now the eyes of two children are so irritated that they can’t open them. On the contrary, Little Young Master Pei is fine! Is it not clear who is right and who is wrong?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wei Bo and Chen Yang came out of the bathroom with the help of the attendant, and one by one, they covered their eyes and pretended to be blind.
Wei Bo squinted his eyes and began to sell misery. “Old Mr. Bo, Chen Yang and I just came out of the bathroom and saw Little Young Master Pei blocking the door to prevent us from leaving. Then he started to go crazy out of nowhere while holding the fire extinguisher!”
When Chen Yang heard his friend throwing the pot away, he hurriedly cried out, “Ouch, my eyes…..it hurts…..”
In fact, there was nothing seriously wrong with the eyes of these two people. They just turned a little red after being irritated. This wave of pretense was a bit too strong.
The elders of Wei and Chen looked at each other and had the same calculations in their hearts. “Old Mr. Bo, Mr. Pei, and Second Young Master, you must give us an account for today’s matter.”
It was difficult to seize an opportunity, and they had to grasp the chance to make the Bo family pay for some business benefits, and then pretend to save Old Mr. Bo some face.
In this way, there were both face and benefits.
Li Yuan really couldn’t understand their deceitful designs, so before Pei Yi or others could make a sound, he mocked, “This is covering up one’s misdeeds by shifting the blame to others. I think you two families are actually very slippery.”
As he said this, he took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and after a few clicks, a section of audio came out
— Did we allow you to go? Do you know who you messed with?
— This idiot is clearly unfavored by the Pei family, and Bo Yueming is blind, so can he protect him?
— Why are you talking so much with him, let’s deal with them together!
Cocky and wildly arrogant words were spoken, completely rearranging everything that happened just now. The two families did not expect that Li Yuan would secretly record, and were caught a little off guard at the moment.
Pei Yi couldn’t help but applaud Li Yuan’s assist, and his impression of the man gradually increased.
The crowd in the back row opened a path and Yan Cen stepped forward to spontaneously stand in the camp of Bo Yueming and Pei Yi.
“Old Mr. Bo, Yueming immediately felt that something was wrong, so he asked me if I could negotiate with the hotel to see if I could get the surveillance video at the front of the corridor.”
“Although the surveillance camera is a bit far from the bathroom at the end of the corridor, it should be able to capture images, not to mention……” Yan Cen glanced at Li Yuan, who was standing diagonally to the side, and smiled slightly. “Everyone must have heard that gentleman’s recording just now.”
Li Yuan and Yan Cen looked at each other for a second. Gripping the phone tightly, Li Yuan quickly turned his gaze to the culprits, feeling a little awkward. “If they can’t hear clearly, aren’t some of these people blind and deaf?”
First there was a recording, and now it was possible that it was captured by surveillance?
If it was really pursued, these pieces of evidence were enough to make the situation clear!
The arrogance of the Wei and Chen families was instantly extinguished, and they changed their tune in seconds. “Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding! The eyes of these two children are just a minor problem, they will be fine if they are flushed with water!”
“Chen Yang, Wei Bo! Why don’t you two hurry up and apologize to Little Young Master Pei!”
“Exactly! You two brats are young and don’t have a sense of proportion. The drinks went to your heads! Fortunately, an accident didn’t happen today!”
“…….”
Chen Yang and Wei Bo, who were called out, did not dare to disobey their parents’ wishes, and now couldn’t even pretend that their “eyes were injured.”
They suppressed the grievances and anger in their hearts, gritted their teeth, and stepped forward to apologize. “Sorry, we were just joking around with Little Young Master Pei!”
Just joking around?
Their eyes were functioning again?
Hearing their absurd and hypocritical remarks, Pei Yi felt that he shouldn’t have sprayed the fire extinguisher, but should have just turned around and thrown it instead!
Thinking about it, Bo Yueming issued the same question—
“Just joking around?”
He took out his guide cane and slowly extended it, his eyes darkening bit by bit. “Didn’t you say that I, Bo Yueming, am blind and can’t protect Pei Yi? You’re still clamoring to make excuses?”
Accompanied by his deep, questioning voice, the guide cane in his hand suddenly swung down forcefully. Bam!
There were two loud thwacks in succession.
The guide cane slammed into the legs of Wei and Chen respectively, and the pain was so severe that they let out squeals like dying pigs on the spot!
