The Pei family proposed a small banquet, ostensibly for Pei Guangzong, but in reality to announce the marriage alliance between the Pei and Du families to everyone.

After all, they can't get close to Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan now, so they can only stick together with the Du family for warmth, which may be their only chance of survival.

Du Lixue received her marriage certificate reluctantly, so naturally she didn't have a good attitude towards the Pei family. If the Pei family hadn't failed to discover the baby had been switched back then, she would be marrying Fu Jingchen now.

Pei Guangzong also disliked the Pei family. They were like obedient grandsons when they needed you, but kicked you aside when they didn't. Today, the tables have turned, and it's his turn to be in charge.

Therefore, after the Pei family offered him 1,000 yuan as a dowry for his wife, he directly clarified his relationship with the Pei family at the wedding banquet.

The Pei family, believing the relationship between the Pei and Du families was now secure, raised their glasses to the guests with beaming smiles, saying, "Today, my Guangzong is betrothed to the Du family's daughter. We hope that the Pei and Du families will support each other and create a glorious future together."

"My dear in-laws, let me toast you. Rest assured, once Lixue enters the Pei family, we will cherish her as our own granddaughter."

Cui Hailu rolled her eyes. She used to dislike Guangzong so much, but now it's too late to make amends.

Battalion Commander Du was furious when he saw the Pei family. How could he possibly arrange a marriage with them? So he didn't respond to their words.

His indifference and silence revealed the Du family's attitude.

The guests present were all shrewd people, and they could easily see that it was clearly the Pei family who were enthusiastic, while the Du family was ignoring them.

This immediately put the Pei family in an awkward position, and the atmosphere became extremely embarrassing.

Pei Danfeng was torn. On the one hand, she didn't want Cui Hailu and her niece to live well, but on the other hand, she wanted to use Pei Guangzong to tie the Pei and Du families together. "The two children have already registered their marriage. Our two families are now one. This is a great event. Guangzong, don't you think so?"

Battalion Commander Du said irritably, "Who said we're family with the Pei family? Ask yourselves if Pei Guangzong is a member of the Pei family."

Pei Guangzong knew the answer to this question, and replied in a completely matter-of-fact manner, "Of course I am the son-in-law of the Du family, and I belong to the Du family. The Pei family has nothing to do with me. They are not my biological grandparents or my biological father."

"Like Chief Fu, I resolutely resist the Pei family and reject their moral blackmail. Don't think that just because I've lived in the Pei family for twenty years, you can control my future. I have biological parents who don't care about me, so what right does the Pei family have? My aunt raised me. When I first moved to the Pei family, you treated me the same way you treated Fu Wan Ning. If it weren't for my aunt and I working hard to change your impression of me, I would have ended up like Fu Wan Ning."
