In the past few days, Pei Wenbin has been running around for his son's affairs, but he couldn't even see him. In the blink of an eye, he has aged by ten years. He has no choice but to place his last hope on Tang Jingyuan.

He knew that Pei Yongsheng and Pei Lanyi both listened to Tang Jingyuan. As long as he gave in, his son might still have a chance of survival.

Pei Wenbin couldn't bear to see Shen Yizi crying. Pei Yongsheng and Pei Chengyi were both his sons, so he certainly couldn't bear to see the two brothers killing each other.

The car slowly stopped at the door. Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan had just returned from the company. When Lu Anning saw them, he guessed the purpose of their visit without saying anything.

The car window was rolled down, and the dim light reflected Pei Wenbin's forced smile. Chen Yizi forced a smile, which looked uglier than crying to Lu Anning. It was difficult for her.

"Jingyuan!"

Tang Jingyuan didn't wait for Pei Wenbin to speak, and said lightly: "Let's go in first."

A glimmer of hope ignited in Pei Wenbin's eyes. He nodded quickly and walked in carrying bags of things.

Ronghuayuan usually doesn't let anyone come here casually, but today is an exception.

Pei Wenbin and Shen Yizhi entered the house cautiously, not looking around, fearing to displease the host. Seeing their cautious demeanor, Lu Anning felt a sudden pang of sadness. Back when they were full of vigor and ambition, they certainly hadn't imagined that one day they would be groveling and begging Tang Jingyuan.

Weren't those rumors behind Tang Jingyuan's back that he was a bastard spoken by them?

Tang Jingyuan's attitude was polite yet distant. The mist from the hot tea blurred the sharpness in his eyes, but Pei Wenbin did not dare to relax and no longer put on any brotherly airs.

"Second brother came here in person, what's the matter?"

Pei Wenbin forced himself to smile, took a deep breath, and didn't want to beat around the bush.

"Third brother, let's not mince words. Cheng Yi got into such a big trouble, and I know that you were the one behind it all. He was not as skilled as others and got caught up in it, so it's his own fault. But we are family after all. In fact, Cheng Yi is not bad. He also learned his lesson this time. I just want to ask you, for my sake, can you give him a way out."

If Pei Chengyi was sentenced just for the 200 million yuan of public funds he embezzled, his life would be ruined.

Pei Wenbin was very optimistic about his son and didn't want him to fall into this pit and never get up again. Ultimately, it was still a family feud. If it could be resolved privately, there was no need to make such a big fuss.

He thought that if he came to beg him in person, Tang Jingyuan would give in.

A man's cold laughter echoed from the spacious living room. "Second brother, you claim to be smart, but how come you can't even see through such a simple situation? Do you think I'm the one in control of this matter?"

Pei Wenbin frowned. "If it wasn't you, with Pei Yongsheng and Pei Lanyi's abilities, how could it be possible? Cheng Yi's failure in the stock market was your doing, wasn't it?"

"Second brother, do you overestimate me, or underestimate the abilities of your eldest son and eldest sister? Have you truly understood them over the years?"

Pei Wenbin was choked and didn't react for a long time.

He stared at Tang Jingyuan's eyes for a long time but couldn't find any trace of lies, and he became suspicious.

“Could it be…”

"An Ning, ask Yong Sheng and Big Sister to come over."

Lu Anning responded and sent a message to the two of them, and soon received a reply. Pei Wenbin and Shen Yizi looked at each other, still unable to believe it.

Pei Yongsheng is uneducated and only knows how to drink and play with women every day. What real skills does he have?

Even though he was decisive and resolute in the company during this period and suppressed Pei Chengyi, Pei Wenbin always believed that it was Tang Jingyuan who was behind the scenes.

It wasn't too unfair that Cheng Yi was defeated by Tang Jingyuan.

The living room fell into silence for a long time. The doorbell rang and Lu Anning got up to open the door. Pei Lanyi and Pei Yongsheng brought two boxes of seafood that had just been airlifted in and were preparing to eat seafood hotpot here.

"Little An Ning, these are all your favorite foods!"

The two of them didn't know that there were two uninvited guests in the living room. When they saw Pei Wenbin and his wife, the smile on Pei Yongsheng's face instantly disappeared.

Pei Wenbin was a little dazed, almost thinking he was hallucinating. He had never seen Pei Yongsheng laugh so happily before. As far as he could remember, the last time he laughed was...

He was stunned, and then he realized that his son had become a stranger at some point. His memory of Pei Yongsheng was still at the level of a second-generation rich kid.

Pei Yongsheng, standing before him, no longer concealed his incompetence. His every gesture revealed the authority of a superior. Seeing him approach, Pei Wenbin hesitated, wondering what to say first so as not to lose his father's authority. Unexpectedly, Pei Yongsheng simply ignored him and simply greeted Tang Jingyuan and his wife with a smile.

Pei Wenbin was stunned and kept staring at him without saying a word.

Tang Jingyuan motioned for them to sit down first: "Your father came to me to plead for Pei Chengyi. I can't make the decision on this matter, so I had to let you go."

Pei Yongsheng and Pei Lanyi smiled at each other and gave Pei Yongsheng the chance to speak first.

Pei Yongsheng then turned his gaze to Pei Wenbin. He leaned back on the sofa and looked at his father, and couldn't help but smile.

"Dad, do you want to plead for my second brother?"

Pei Wenbin cleared his throat. "Since you've already said he's your brother, why make such a fuss about your own family affairs? It's all about money, and we can discuss it privately. If you bring it out into the open, it'll only make people laugh at you."

Pei Yongsheng laughed and was shocked: "Now you realize that we are a family. In the past few years, when have you ever seen me as your son?"

Pei Wenbin was speechless: "You spend your days drinking and partying, I can't control you, what else can I do?"

Pei Yongsheng listened, looked up suddenly, and stared at the couple with a pair of gloomy eyes.

"If I hadn't pretended to be useless, I would have ended up like my mother. Shen Yizhi, don't you think so?"

Shen Yizi had her head down the whole time. When her name was suddenly called, she trembled all over and didn't dare to look up at him.
