"Look at this one—runs a hotel. And this one—owns a restaurant... Most of these companies are publicly listed. Each of my brothers is worth over a hundred million. So tell me, even if I scammed you out of everything you own, would that even compare to the pocket money my brothers give me?" Pei Sisi said smugly as she tossed the business cards back into Fang Yi's hands.

"If Sisi wants pocket money, all she has to do is ask. I'll give you half a million," one of her brothers said from the side.

Pei Sisi shot him a glare, and he immediately corrected himself. "Half a million for fun, and another million for clothes."

Du Qianze couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he listened from the side. These people really were all major players. Even if he didn't look at the cards, he could recognize most of them. Every one of them was loaded. No wonder Pei Sisi had such a powerful background.

"Doesn't even come close," Fang Yi admitted honestly. If they were only talking about this pet shop, it definitely wasn't worth as much as Pei Sisi's pocket money. A bit over a million wasn't much, especially considering how many brothers she had.

"Then why don't you believe me? I want to help you set up a fund—do you really think I'd scam you? And you won't even let me help you build it?" Pei Sisi looked super pissed off.

"Brother," Fang Yue tugged at Fang Yi's arm. "Since Sisi wants to help with the fund, why won't you let her? She knows this stuff and has the connections. If the fund actually gets going, the pet shop will have security in the future too."

"We've only known her for two days, and now she's all in on setting up a fund for us—plus she's got this huge background. Doesn't that seem suspicious to you?" Fang Yi muttered to Fang Yue. His "quiet" voice, though, was only quiet for him—not actually quiet. Pei Sisi, standing right in front of him, heard every word loud and clear, and her face turned even darker.

"Miss Pei, don't take it the wrong way. That's not what he meant," Du Qianze quickly stepped in to smooth things over when he saw the look on Pei Sisi's face.

"Hmph." Pei Sisi was so mad at Fang Yi she could barely see straight. If it were anyone else, she would've slapped them already. But she actually had a good impression of Fang Yi, and she couldn't just hit outsiders whenever she wanted. So she just flopped onto the couch and fumed in silence.

"Let me explain," Pei Chunbo said, standing up and walking over to Fang Yi. He pulled the siblings aside and quietly told them about something from Pei Sisi's past.

Pei Datou and Pei Daniu had originally been strays that Pei Haoyan brought home. It had taken a lot of back-and-forth before the family finally agreed to keep them. Back then, Pei Sisi hated Pei Datou and Pei Daniu. When they first arrived, they didn't know anything—they pooped everywhere, shed like crazy. Pei Sisi had fought with Pei Haoyan over it many times. She was always mean to the dogs, so much so that they'd go out of their way to avoid her.

What changed Pei Sisi's view of Pei Datou—and of Pei Haoyan—was a man. He was a secret boyfriend she had on the side, supposedly a classmate who had chased her for three years. Her family didn't approve, and she rebelled just a little. They agreed to meet near her place to break up. That's when she realized the guy had never really liked her—he was only after her money.

When she tried to break things off, he saw there was no one around and dragged her into a nearby room, trying to assault her. At the time, Pei Sisi and Pei Haoyan were studying away from home, living in a rented apartment near campus. Their family had hired two maids to take care of them, but that day, Pei Sisi had sent the maids away early. No one else was home.

She really thought that was the end for her.

But it was Pei Datou and Pei Daniu who saved her.

Back then, Pei Datou and Pei Daniu weren't even a year old yet—they hadn't grown as big as they were now. But when they heard Pei Sisi screaming, they came running. They grabbed onto the man's pants, trying to drag him away. Pei Datou even bit him on the butt. The man was a grown adult, so of course the two dogs weren't a match for him, but their interference gave Pei Sisi a better chance to struggle free.

She broke loose, grabbed a vase, and smashed it over the guy's head, knocking him out. Pei Datou and Pei Daniu had been thrown around multiple times while trying to save her, both getting hurt. Pei Datou broke a leg and had to stay in the pet hospital for a month.

That man left a huge emotional scar on Pei Sisi. After that, it was like she became a different person. She didn't like being around men anymore. Aside from her family, everyone she interacted with was basically a woman. Her attitude toward Pei Daniu and Pei Datou changed completely—she doted on them even more than Pei Haoyan did.

At first, her family thought she was just heartbroken and that she'd get over it after a while. No one expected the impact to be so deep. Pei Sisi even told them she never wanted a boyfriend ever again. Not even a girlfriend—for now, she said. She just wanted to spend her life with Pei Daniu and Pei Datou.

Eventually, she even started caring more about animals than people. And not just Pei Daniu and Pei Datou—she was extremely patient with all animals she came across. But when it came to people, not so much. If someone ticked her off—especially a guy—Pei Sisi could literally throw down on the spot. She even said she wanted to drop out of school to open a pet shop, which scared the hell out of her family. They quickly sent her to study abroad and had Pei Haoyan go with her. But even then, she insisted on bringing Pei Daniu and Pei Datou overseas with her.

After spending a few years abroad, Pei Sisi did open up more. She could be around men now, though she still wasn't totally comfortable with it. When she saw Naima yesterday and heard his story, she went home and immediately told the family she wanted to help Fang Yi with the pet shop—so he wouldn't have anything to worry about.

As long as Pei Sisi wasn't saying she wanted to open the shop herself, her family didn't really care about giving Fang Yi some money. After everything she'd been through, they were more than happy to spoil her. The money wasn't a big deal—as long as she was happy.
