After a while, Shen Yizhi muttered, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Pei Yongsheng was amused by her pretending to be stupid: "It doesn't matter, it's enough that I know it in my heart. Don't you want to save Pei Chengyi? No problem!"

Pei Wenbin's eyes lit up instantly, and he asked urgently, "Really? I knew you wouldn't ignore your brother."

Shen Yizi stared at Pei Yongsheng with half belief and half doubt, her intuition told her that things would not be that simple.

really!

The next second, Pei Yongsheng pointed at Shen Yizhi and said, "As long as you make this woman and her son leave the house, I will rescue Pei Chengyi. How do you think?"

Pei Wenbin was stunned. He didn't expect Pei Yongsheng to put forward such a condition, and his face suddenly turned dark.

"Yongsheng, what are you talking about! Your Aunt Chen has been with me for so many years, how can I kick them out at this time? I won't agree to it!"

"OK!"

Pei Yongsheng clenched his fists: "Since you don't agree, then you and the mother and son should leave the Pei family together! At most, I will bear the pain and kill my relatives for the sake of justice, and I can also earn a wave of reputation. From now on, I will be in charge of the Pei family and I will have the final say in the company. Since you are so kind, then slowly pay off the debt for the mother and son!"

There was no warmth in Pei Yongsheng's smile, even Pei Wenbin was frightened.

Shen Yizhi refused to accept it: "I have given my whole life to the Pei family. Why do you do this? You are not qualified to drive your father out of the Pei family."

"You and Pei Chengyi caused Grandpa to have a stroke and become paralyzed. Isn't that enough reason? For the sake of power, you can even hurt your own father. I am nothing."

Pei Wenbin's face changed and he pretended to be calm.

"Without evidence, who would believe you?"

Pei Yongsheng smiled and looked at Pei Lanyi: "Aunt, tell me, do we have any evidence?"

Pei Lanyi's smile deepened: "Second brother, whether there is evidence or not, let's try. But, do you dare to bet?"

Pei Wenbin was scared and couldn't guess what they were thinking. He was speechless for a long time.

Lu Anning watched as Pei Wenbin was being pressed step by step by Pei Lanyi and Pei Yongsheng, with no way to retreat. Tang Jingyuan and she became the only spectators of this good show, and she also guessed some of the cause and effect from it.

For example, the death of Pei Yongsheng's mother, and the man that Pei Lanyi cared about most. Only then did Lu Anning understand why there was hatred in their eyes when they looked at Pei Wenbin.

Pei Lanyi clenched her fists and demanded, "Have you forgotten what you said to Grandpa when I wanted to save Ah Hao? It's just a worthless life! He should be severely punished in public, so as to warn others not to covet the eldest daughter of the Pei family. Without you, Ah Hao would never have been tortured to death by Grandpa, his body torn to pieces."

She gritted her teeth, and her words were filled with hatred for Pei Wenbin, but Pei Wenbin did not think he was wrong.

"I did that for your own good."

Pei Lanyi smiled grimly: "Second brother, I'm doing this for your own good. Pei Chengyi is already useless, what else can you expect from him? As for this bitch, she's even more unpresentable. If you agree, I'll help you find someone younger and prettier."

Shen Yizhi suddenly panicked and grabbed Pei Wenbin's hand tightly.

"Hubby, I've given you my whole life. You can't abandon us mother and son at this moment. You're the only one I have."

Pei Wenbin remained silent for a long time, and everyone had lost their patience.

"I'll give you some time. Go back and think it over carefully. Don't disturb your uncle's appetite here."

Tang Jingyuan didn't say a word the whole time, obviously acquiescing to Pei Yongsheng's actions. Pei Wenbin had no choice but to leave with Shen Yizi in shame.

Seeing their embarrassed backs fleeing, no one was very happy. After they left, the living room was still filled with a dull atmosphere that lasted for a long time.

Pei Lanyi smiled and took out the chilled champagne. "Don't dwell on unhappy things. I'll cook for you tonight and show you my cooking skills."

Everyone's mood was quickly lifted by Pei Lanyi, and they gradually forgot about the unpleasant things.

In a seafood feast, Pei Lanyi proved with her strength that a daughter of a wealthy family can also be a superb cook. Lu Anning was conquered by the food on the table and couldn't help eating a lot. Several people toasted each other and talked about the interesting things that happened recently. They wanted to deliberately avoid the unpleasant things, but those memories became clearer when they were slightly drunk.

Lu Anning supported his chin with one hand, forgetting who brought it up first. He just watched them quietly as they gradually uncovered their scars.

Pei Yongsheng seems to be cynical and can even keep a cold face in front of his biological father. However, when he mentions his deceased mother, he can't help but redden his eyes. Once the door of memories is opened, he can't stop.

He treasures the few memories he has with his mother, and when he is moved, it is as if he sees his deceased mother right beside him.

"My mother was the most gentle woman in the world. She should have had a happy and fulfilling life. If she hadn't met my scumbag father and the careful planning of that old bitch Shen Yizhi, she would never have suffered from depression and committed suicide by jumping off the building. I will never forget the look of despair in her eyes when she jumped."

After drinking the whole glass of wine, Pei Yongsheng didn't know whether it tasted bitter or sour.

Pei Lanyi smiled, then started crying again. The man she called Ah Hao had given her the sweetest love of her life, but because of their different social status, he had lost his life.

"Third brother, you don't know. He was tied up in the yard at that time and refused to give up on me until his death. I watched him being tortured and killed and fell at my feet. I could do nothing. I hate them! As the eldest daughter of the Pei family, I don't even have the right to choose love."

Drunk, they found an outlet to vent their emotions. They talked for an unknown amount of time before they collapsed. Lu Anning acted as their most loyal listener. When he looked at them again, there was only endless heartache in his eyes.

Who says being born into a wealthy family means happiness? Everyone has their own pain in life, and no one has an easy life.

She looked at Tang Jingyuan and suddenly didn't dare to ask him about his past, for fear that if he opened his mouth, she would hear about his bloody past.

Half drunk and half awake, she instinctively hugged him tightly, just wanting to give him a little more comfort: "In the future, we will all be better."
