The true heiress returns, and at the recognition banquet, Lu Anning publicly rejects the marriage, only to be sent to a man's bed by her "loving" mother.
"Just accept your fat...
"Evidence?" Tang Jingyuan smiled, but the moment he turned around, his smile faded. His eyes, as sharp as knives, fell on Lu Yunxi. Lu Yunxi shuddered and subconsciously shrank her neck.
"Who the hell are you to ask me for evidence?"
Seeing him approach, Pei Chengyi subconsciously used his body to block Lu Yunxi behind him: "This is all my idea. Uncle, if you have anything to say, just come to me."
Tang Jingyuan glanced at him sideways, then suddenly leaned over and grabbed Pei Chengyi's collar and lifted him up: "You are quite capable? Uncle will teach you once, listen carefully. Find someone more reliable next time! For a gambler, let alone three million, even three hundred million is not enough. Do you understand?"
The palm slapped Pei Chengyi's face, making a crisp sound, and a hint of shock flashed in Pei Chengyi's eyes.
"Uncle's actions were faster than I expected, but I refuse to accept them. I don't think I've done anything wrong. In business competition, we never judge by means, but by results. Why did you bring me here for this? Uncle, in terms of ability, I'm no worse than you. Without Grandpa's indulgence and support, you'd be nothing."
The two men were very close to each other, and when their eyes met, Pei Chengyi thought of the unfair treatment he had received in the Pei family over the years, and then thought of Tang Jingyuan, and the resentment in his heart completely burst out.
He challenged Tang Jingyuan, "We're both illegitimate children, and we both hide from the public. Why do you get grandfather's favor and protection? Why do I have to be so careful in the Pei family? Tang Jingyuan, I just don't accept it. If you have the guts, let me go and we'll fight alone. Others may be afraid of you, but I'm not."
Tang Jingyuan's expression suddenly changed, his fists clenched tightly and creaked. He smiled, his cold voice filled with hostility: "Very good! I'll give you a chance to fight him alone. Butler, let him go."
The butler hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that the old man had no objection, he stepped forward and released Pei Chengyi.
Chen Yizi stood aside and looked at Pei Chengyi with concern. She wanted to stop him, but she was unwilling to let her son be looked down upon forever.
Perhaps today is a good opportunity. If you don't try, how can you have a future?
The words of admonition turned into encouragement when they reached his lips: "Son, I believe in you."
Pei Chengyi nodded, confidently telling the others to step back. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Ever since he was a child, he had been unable to understand why everyone in the Pei family feared his uncle, yet looked down on him. Since he was a child, he had been unable to understand why his uncle's mother wasn't his grandfather's first wife. They all said that he and his uncle were illegitimate children. Why did everyone in the Pei family fear his uncle, yet look down on him?
This world is too unfair. He always has to find opportunities to win a bright future for himself and to stand up straight in the Pei family.
Today, the opportunity finally came.
"Uncle, don't blame me if I hurt you later."
"I'll give you a hand. Today, I'll reluctantly teach you how to behave on behalf of your father."
Pei Chengyi felt insulted, so he punched him first and shouted, "No need."
In a moment, two figures exchanged punches and kicks, both of them moving very quickly. Tang Jingyuan hid his left hand behind his back, which really made Pei Chengyi's hand. Pei Chengyi was even more angry and attacked without mercy.
When Lu Anning rushed to the scene, Pei Chengyi's fist brushed past the corner of Tang Jingyuan's mouth. Lu Anning stepped forward to support Tang Jingyuan, his eyes filled with worry.
"Are you okay? What happened?"
"It's okay. Just stand away, I won't hurt you."
Tang Jingyuan was distracted, and Pei Chengyi gained the upper hand for a moment, and his confidence increased greatly.
"Uncle, I told you, you don't need to let me have a hand. If you lose, it will seem that my victory was not glorious enough."
Tang Jingyuan poked the injured corner of his mouth with his tongue, and a hint of evil was revealed in his smile: "You asked for it."
Lin Tao pulled Lu Anning aside and briefly explained. After hearing what Lin Tao said, Lu Anning became even more worried. Pei Chengyi had touched Tang Jingyuan's bottom line, and even if he wanted to end it now, it was too late.
At the beginning, Tang Jingyuan's speed was obviously faster. In comparison, the initial fight seemed more like a teasing to Pei Chengyi.
Lu Anning heard Lin Tao's gentle reminder in his ear: "Young Master San has received the most rigorous training in the team. Pei Chengyi can't hurt him at all."
Lu Anning was stunned and looked at Lin Tao in shock.
In the team?
Were Lin Tao’s words the same as she imagined?
Pei Chengyi, who was originally full of confidence, felt dazzled when he saw Tang Jingyuan switch from defense to offense. He resisted instinctively, but he couldn't hold on for long. In just one minute, Pei Chengyi retreated repeatedly. The strong feeling of oppression made him flustered. He then realized that Tang Jingyuan had not shown his strength at all at the beginning.
Before everyone could react, Tang Jingyuan kicked him away, and then he punched him with dense fists, so fast that only shadows could be seen.
Pei Chengyi's continuous groaning sounds could be heard from the courtyard. It only took him one minute and ten seconds from fighting to holding his head and taking the beating.
Pei Chengyi was pinned to the ground and beaten, with no room for resistance, and Shen Yizhi panicked.
"Enough! Enough! If we keep fighting, someone will die. Stop it now! We've lost."
Tang Jingyuan seemed not to hear it, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists could not stop at all.
The old man couldn't bear to watch it any longer and sighed, "Third brother, that's enough. Stop it!"
Tang Jingyuan suddenly grabbed Pei Chengyi's arm. With a crisp click, Pei Chengyi could no longer hold back and screamed. Only then did Tang Jingyuan stop.
He looked down at the man lying on the ground like a puddle of mud and said coldly, "From now on, remember this lesson. I, Tang Jingyuan, have never been an illegitimate child!"
He said that if Pei Chengyi plotted against him and broke one of his arms as a price, he would never go back on his word.
