Without waiting for Luo Bi to respond, Pei Jing spoke, his voice deep and powerful: "Miss Luo Bi, I have also come to discuss the matter of becoming a Contract Master's assistant. If you are interested in becoming a Contract Master's assistant, I hope you will sign a contract with the Executive Hall. The Executive Hall will provide you with the strongest protection."

Luo Bi didn't expect that she, with a useless attribute, would also become an object of contention among various forces. She smiled and said, "You are not the first to mention this to me, but I need to consider it."

She didn't dare to refuse outright. The Executive Hall held great power on Zhihuang Star, and the Executive Officer had come in person. If she didn't show respect, it would be easy for them to deal with her.

To show her respect for the Executive Officer, Luo Bi said warmly, "Please have some tea, Executive Officer."

Pei Jing graciously picked up the teacup. Luo Yan, who had brought the tea, was unhappy. Luo Bi had taken the credit, and she said irritably, "What is there to consider? If you want to be a Contract Master's assistant, you should follow me. You wouldn't help others instead of your own family, would you?"

Luo Bi's smile faded: "Yes, we are family, even close cousins. That's why you slept with my ex-fiancé." Seeing Luo Yan's face turn red with anger, she added, "Oh, right, it wasn't intentional; it was an accident."

Feeling that the provocation wasn't enough, she pretended to give a friendly reminder: "Be more careful in the future. Don't accidentally sleep with someone else again."

These words were venomous, soft yet sharp. Luo Feifan, who valued his reputation, turned as black as a pot bottom, and Luo Yan was both angry and anxious. Pei Jing, who was drinking tea, coughed: "Cough, cough, cough...?"

He seemed to have really choked, coughing several times without recovering.

"You, you...," Luo Yan's finger trembled as she pointed at Luo Bi, her face alternating between red and pale.

Guan Zhuting observed Luo Feifan's expression with concern. Luo Bi's words, spoken in front of everyone, were clearly a slap in the face to the Luo family.

Luo Feifan couldn't bear the embarrassment and said sternly, "Luo Bi, how can you defame your own sister like this? Whether you believe it or not, Hua Chen and Xiao Yan's encounter was indeed an accident."

Luo Bi looked innocent: "I didn't say it wasn't an accident?"

It seemed as if Luo Feifan was accusing her, and he was furious! The more he tried to explain, the worse it got: "Stop talking nonsense. What Xiao Yan said is right. If you want to be a Contract Master's assistant, you should help your own family, not others."

His words were directed at the Executive Hall, accusing them of poaching from the Luo family right in front of him, as if he didn't exist.

Pei Jing smiled lightly: "That's not quite right, Head of the Luo Family. Whether it's the Luo family or any other family, we are all citizens of Zhihuang Star. Contributing to the development of Zhihuang Star is the duty of every citizen. There is no distinction between insiders and outsiders here."

Pei Jing, as the Executive Officer, was not someone to be trifled with. Luo Feifan smiled insincerely: "The Executive Officer is right, but the Luo family is still the Luo family. Luo Bi is ultimately one of us."

To hell with the citizen's duty, Luo Feifan was not interested in such hypocritical talk. He had heard that Pei Jing had a favorite who was a dual-attribute Contract Master. Pei Jing, as the Executive Officer, had come in person to find Luo Bi, likely for the sake of that dual-attribute Contract Master.

Pei Jing was a celebrity, and Luo Bi had heard about his affairs. She had her own calculations, but her eyes deliberately glanced at Luo Feifan, then turned to Pei Jing with a look of difficulty.
