Chapter 47 Slapping the Green Tea Bitch
At the Pei family residence, Pei Jiuyan was having a detailed conversation with his mother.
"Mom, the matter has been investigated and cleared up. Father's death has nothing to do with the Yun family. It wasn't Zhaozhao's father who did it."
Pei's mother wouldn't listen to any of this. She abandoned her usual elegance and pointed at Pei Jiuyan's nose, scolding, "Are you blinded by greed? What kind of bewitching potion did Yun Zhaozhao give you that made you not even want to avenge your father?"
"Mom, I've known about this for a long time, and I've told you about it before, but you've never believed me."
"It was my fault. I should have persisted."
Pei Jiuyan looked coldly at her mother: "You actually know this, but you subconsciously want to escape. You don't dare to admit your father's wrong decisions and cowardice. You want to find someone to pay the price, so the Yun family, which is at the height of its power, has become your target."
At that time, their family was in trouble. The father owed a lot of money and couldn't bear it, so he chose to jump off a building and die. The mother, who had always been strong-willed, couldn't accept that her husband was a coward and left all the mess to them, a widow and her children.
At that time, Pei's mother's mental state was very unstable. She would feel that many things that did not happen had actually happened. She consulted a psychologist, who said that she was under too much pressure and could not accept reality, so she chose to escape.
Neither of them dared to face their mistakes or reality. The father chose death, while she chose to shirk responsibility.
Over the years, he had been playing along with her, even though he knew that his father's affairs had nothing to do with the Yun family, he still went along with what she said. He could only tell her that he married Yun Zhaozhao to seek revenge.
He regretted it!
He regretted it when he learned that Yun Zhaozhao had been scolded by her mother.
He thought that since his mother came from a prominent family, even if he disliked her, he would only not want to see her. However, he still didn't understand women.
Unbeknownst to him, his mother had caused Zhao Zhao a lot of suffering, and even openly told outsiders that she disliked her as her daughter-in-law.
After the incident involving the Yun family, the situation worsened. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding, he was distant from Yun Zhaozhao. He had no idea how his little princess had managed for the past year or so, which was heartbreaking to think about.
It was all his fault. He shouldn't have let his mother continue to get sick; he should have taken her to get treatment sooner.
Pei's mother wouldn't listen to any of this. "You're talking nonsense. None of what you're saying is true. Pei Jiuyan, how can you believe Yun Zhaozhao? She's lying to you."
Pei Jiuyan knew he couldn't reason with his mother, so he said, "Starting tomorrow, a doctor will come and chat with you regularly."
Pei's mother's face turned even uglier. "Pei Jiuyan, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm crazy?"
Pei Jiuyan remained silent. Her mother's illness had been going on for a long time and should have been treated long ago.
Pei's mother completely broke down, laughing like a madwoman: "My son, my only son, actually went so far as to frame his own mother as mentally ill for a woman. Pei Jiuyan, you really are the good son I raised."
Seeing her mother like this, a pang of sadness flashed in Pei Jiuyan's eyes.
His mother was his only remaining family; otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so many years trying to please her.
He was also saddened to hear these words.
"Mom, stop blaming Zhaozhao. She has always been the most innocent one. It was all my doing all along."
“I fell in love with her at first sight before my father’s accident, but she was still young then, and I wanted to wait for her to grow up.”
“She never owed me anything, nor did she owe the Pei family anything; it was I who owed her.”
Pei's mother wouldn't listen to any of this. She believed it was all Yun Zhaozhao's fault, and that if it weren't for her, her son would still listen to her.
Seeing that her emotions were getting more and more out of control, Pei Jiuyan was about to comfort her when the phone suddenly rang. Hearing what was said on the other end, his expression changed slightly: "I'm coming right away."
"Mom, I have to go out for a bit. We'll talk properly when I get back."
After saying that, Pei Jiuyan grabbed her coat and went out.
As Pei's mother watched Pei Jiuyan leave without hesitation, her gaze gradually turned strange.
After her husband died, she only had this one son left, and now her son doesn't care about her anymore.
At the police station, Yun Zhaozhao, Zhou Xiao, and Wen Jingyu were together. Zhou Xiao, while fixing her hair, said, "Today was really refreshing. I've disliked those people for a long time. But Zhaozhao, you were too fierce just now."
Yun Zhaozhao rushed out like a cannonball, and none of them had time to react. They only saw Yun Zhaozhao grab Gong Xue's hair and tear at her mouth. Gong Xue was stunned at the time. After she came to her senses, she rushed over to "break up the fight" and kicked her a few more times.
After the others realized what was happening, they quickly stepped forward. What started as Yun Zhaozhao beating Gong Xue unilaterally turned into a group beating, with even Wen Jingyu joining in. However, he was protecting Yun Zhaozhao and didn't really fight back. Because of this, he ended up in the worst position, his face scratched all over.
Do they even know how much my face is worth?
"You women fighting is terrifying."
Wen Jingyu looked terrified. Gong Xue and the others all practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, and their nails were all incredibly long. He had been pinched several times, but luckily he was thick-skinned. He couldn't even imagine what would have happened if Yun Zhaozhao had been caught by them; she was pregnant.
The three exchanged glances upon hearing this, and seeing each other's disheveled state, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After laughing, Yun Zhaozhao said, "That felt great."
She had been framed by the scribe many times before, and she was tired of seeing Gong Xue and the others acting like paragons of justice.
She had reservations back then, but now she has none, and she's doing exactly what she wants—it's so liberating! The only problem is that it's dragged two of her friends into it.
"Once we get out, just say what you want. I have nothing right now, I'm so poor I only have money left."
Yun Zhaozhao said magnanimously.
"You said I wanted the latest model bag."
Zhou Xiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly said.
Yun Zhaozhao waved her hand dismissively: "It's just a bag, right? Arrange it."
"Whale, what about you? Do you want the watch or the car?"
"No, I'm afraid people will say I'm being kept by you."
Wen Jingyu refused repeatedly, and the three of them laughed again.
When Wen Jinyan finished the formalities and came to pick up his brother, he saw his younger brother laughing like a husky. His face darkened: "Still laughing? Aren't you leaving?"
"elder brother!"
Wen Jingyu was still quite afraid of his older brother, so he shrank back.
Wen Jinyan held back for a long time but still couldn't help but slap him on the head: "Fighting with a bunch of girls, you've really made something of yourself."
"Brother Jinyan, it's not his fault. He was trying to help me. Brother Jinyan, please don't blame Whale."
Yun Zhaozhao quickly replied.
How could Wen Jinyan possibly blame Yun Zhaozhao? Seeing the scratch on Yun Zhaozhao's face, he frowned and gave his younger brother a slap: "Are you stupid? How come you couldn't even protect Zhaozhao properly?"
"Bro, you're being way too hypocritical."
Wen Jingyu was almost in tears. His face was scratched all over, but his brother couldn't even see it. Yun Zhaozhao, on the other hand, only got scratched, but his brother could see it clearly.
Wen Jinyan rolled his eyes at his younger brother: "You want to compare yourself to Zhao Zhao?"
Wen Jingyu tactfully replied, "I can't compete."
Yun Zhaozhao has always disliked and liked certain things since childhood, especially the elders of each family. Does he dare to compare?
Just then, Zhou Yueming and Fu Shangluo entered.
Upon seeing Fu Shangluo, Wen Jinyan's expression changed slightly.
Oh no!
He hadn't expected Fu Shangluo to come. He even called Pei Jiuyan, who was probably arriving soon. What should he do?
