Tang Yaoyao roughly understood why Xiao Jinhan would disregard his nephew's wishes and insist that he inherit his mother's estate.

He did this because he couldn't forgive the man who killed his own sister...

Pei Jin remained silent and did not speak.

Tang Yaoyao sorted out her thoughts, put down the grapes in her hand, put her hands together, pursed her lips, and said in a very gentle voice: "Your mother accidentally fell from the building. Legally, your father cannot be convicted. He will only be morally condemned. For a habitual offender like your father, it will be of no consequence."

"Um."

She continued, "In fact, Master Xiao was fully capable of taking back everything that belonged to your mother, but he didn't do so. He only wanted you to inherit it. This proves that he wanted you to personally take back what the Pei family owed you and your mother. This is the real revenge."

Pei Jin did not deny it. His uncle was indeed going to do that. Moreover, he already had leverage over his father and could easily make his father lose everything. All he needed to do was nod, and everything would be back in his hands.

After a few seconds of silence, Tang Yaoyao said, word by word, "The reason you are unwilling is because you don't want your half-brother to go through everything you went through."

Pei Jin looked up at her, her eyes flickering slightly: "Mm."

She made this judgment because when he talked about his past experiences, he referred to his stepmother as "that woman," indicating that he harbored resentment towards her.

But he showed a hint of warmth towards the child he had with that woman, referring to him as "my brother," so she guessed that he had a good relationship with the child.

As it turned out, she was right.

“From childhood to adulthood, all Shao Bai saw was his parents’ endless arguments. That woman gave birth to him but never gave him any maternal love. Once, because he was hungry and kept crying, she couldn’t soothe him. In a fit of anger, she threw Shao Bai on the ground and stomped on his stomach, breaking two of his ribs. I went to the hospital to see him, and it was then that I truly became close to him.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mei's heart skipped a beat.

Is this my mother?

This is utterly evil!

Tang Yaoyao frowned.

"My mother passed away suddenly, leaving behind a huge fortune. Although it is enviable, it is very troublesome to keep the company running normally. As a result, my father and Shaobai rarely see each other, and the only person he can rely on is me."

Su Mei thought that hatred would eventually be softened by family affection, and subconsciously asked, "Because you love your younger brother, you forgave them?"

Pei Jin's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold glint: "I will never forgive them. Perhaps it is karma. That woman got brain cancer. After the company stabilized, my father continued to indulge in debauchery and brought women home without restraint. She doesn't have long to live and will apologize to my mother sooner or later. Even though that woman is vicious, Shao Bai still loves her."

Tang Yaoyao sighed, her gaze fixed on him.

"So, if you take back the company at this time and deliver the fatal blow, and Shao Bai's mother signs the will, and you have nothing left, your father will definitely divorce her. Judging from his past scoundrel behavior, he will never care about Shao Bai, and she won't live much longer. In the end, Shao Bai will follow the same path you have walked."

The only reason they haven't divorced yet is because of that ridiculous will.

After listening for a while, Su Mei finally understood. She said softly, "Rather than seeing him lose everything, what you least want to see is him hating you and despairing."

"Um."

Children's minds are simple; they cannot see the deeper, more evil side.

If Pei Jin really does what Xiao Jinhan says, the Pei family will lose everything, and then Pei Shaobai's mother will die. At that time, he will only think that his beloved older brother killed his mother, and such hatred will continue indefinitely.

Pei Jin was unwilling to let the sins committed by the previous generation continue.

His childhood was too difficult, and he didn't want his younger brother to have the same.

What are your plans?

Pei Jin's sorrow gradually dissipated, and he said in a deep voice, "My uncle is right. All of my mother's things should be taken back. The doctor said that Shao Bai's mother will not live for more than three months. After she dies, the barrier between me and Shao Bai will be gone. When I take them back then, my father will not be able to raise Shao Bai, and I will get custody of Shao Bai. The only one who will truly have nothing from beginning to end is him."

This is the best revenge against the father, and it won't hurt anyone.

"I will hand over my mother's company to my uncle."

Su Mei nodded, completely agreeing with his approach.

Tang Yaoyao frowned: "It preserves your relationship with Shaobai, allows you to take revenge on your beastly father, and lets you pursue your photography dream. It is indeed a perfect plan. What's stopping you from moving forward is that Master Xiao can't accept Shaobai."

"Yes... he can't accept it."

She later heard from her eldest brother that when her fourth brother lived in the Fu family, his sister often came to visit him. They had a very deep bond, but unfortunately, she later fell to her death.

He could never forgive the murderer who killed his sister, not even an innocent child.

This is only natural. Neither Pei Jin nor he was wrong; they just had different perspectives.

"Do whatever you want. Leave Pei Shaobai's affairs to me."

"But my uncle..."

Tang Yaoyao interrupted him gently, her voice soft: "He didn't take back your mother's things directly, not only because he wanted you to take them back yourself, but also because he cared about your feelings. Perhaps he's not as heartless as you think."

This was the first time she had spoken to him in such a tone, which made Pei Jin feel flattered.

He was also pondering her words.

Actually, the uncle didn't want to push him into the abyss with his own hands. However, the uncle couldn't forgive the person who hurt his mother. He was also hesitant about this matter. Is that right?

Suddenly, a feeling of gratitude welled up inside me: "Thank you, Brother Yao."

Seeing his red eyes, Tang Yaoyao was both amused and exasperated. Her scolding voice was tinged with affection: "Silly boy, what are you thanking me for? We're family, after all."

Pei Jin was taken aback for a moment, then realized that there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Su Mei couldn't help but smile like an aunt.

She kept nodding, indicating that she understood perfectly.

He used to be Pei Jin's older brother, but now he's her nephew. After all, she's her aunt, so of course she has to be gentle with the younger generation.

The thought of this relationship made her heart race; she was incredibly excited…

Actually, Tang Yaoyao hadn't thought about it that way at all. She was just thinking that since her fourth brother was the fourth son of the Fu family, and she was the eldest daughter of the Fu family, then her fourth brother's nephew would also be her nephew. However, looking at Su Mei's smile...

Her eyes flickered, revealing her usual cunning and shrewdness, and she curled her red lips into a smile: "My beauty."
