Pei Zhi was in the inner room of the tea room when someone came into the outer room, and then Pei Zhi heard voices.

The aunt was about to remind her when Pei Zhi stopped her.

"I was holding it in so hard, I almost burst out laughing."

"How could anyone be so stupid as to actually believe that the child she gave birth to is Ci Nian's younger brother?"

"Aunt, the child in Miss Xu's belly is Mr. Xie's younger brother. What are you laughing at?"

"You silly child, you're too naive."

"That's true in name only, but given how things have turned out today, Madam Xie won't let this child be born."

Pei Zhi was sitting in the tea room when she suddenly heard someone mention her arrival.

Pei Zhi was quite innocent. What, was she some kind of abortion expert?

A young woman's voice asked, "Why? The child is innocent."

"It's already being used to stir up trouble before it's even born. What would happen if it were actually born? Of course, it would be the end of it all."

A young woman's voice asked curiously, "Ah... if that child were Mr. Xie's, would Mrs. Xie act the same way?"

"That depends on Mr. Xie's attitude. No matter how capable a woman is, in the end, she still has to listen to a man's attitude."

"Yes, even though we usually treat her with such respect, isn't it all because of Mr. Xie?"

"I don't know what kind of luck she had to marry Mr. Xie. She went from being a nobody to a phoenix."

The aunt cautiously glanced up at Pei Zhi, then quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any longer.

Pei Zhi wasn't angry; those words were insignificant and wouldn't have any impact on her.

"If the old man hadn't said he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, she wouldn't have been able to marry into this family. From an orphan to Mrs. Xie, it's infuriating."

The young woman's voice pressed, "Didn't the aunties object back then?"

The group of women immediately laughed awkwardly. Who were they to object?

The entire family depends on the Xie family for their livelihood.

How could they dare to interfere in the Xie family's affairs?

They only dare to make a few arrogant remarks behind someone's back, just to enjoy the moment.

The aunt pushed open the partition door, and Pei Zhi walked out from behind her.

The group of women who had been gossiping about Pei Zhi suddenly turned as white as paper.

What could be more dramatic than talking badly about someone and getting caught?

Oh, so the other person is someone they can't afford to offend and have to flatter all the time.

Pei Zhi lightly asked the young woman, "Which family are you from?"

The girl introduced herself: "My father is Xie Er (second in his family)."

“You’re quite pleasing to the eye. Come with me.”

The girl obediently followed Pei Zhi's steps.

Pei Zhi left without holding a grudge or even giving them a second glance.

Xie Er's daughter asked, "Madam, aren't you angry that they talk about you like that behind your back?"

"May I have your name?"

"Xie Rong, you can call me Rongrong."

"Only petty people talk behind people's backs. Of course, if they dare to talk to me in person, that's another story."

Xie Rong nodded, then pretended to stare at Pei Zhi's face intentionally or unintentionally.

"Madam, have you ever been to China?"

"I've been there."

Xie Rong immediately pressed on, "Do you know Lu Mingxu?"

After thinking for a moment, Xie Rong added, "And Chi Xiuwen too."

Pei Zhi pretended not to hear clearly, "What did you say?"

Xie Rong's audacity in mentioning these two people's names already required an immense amount of courage.

She would never dare to mention those two people's names again in front of Pei Zhi.

Xie Rong isn't exactly a fan of celebrities; she just enjoys listening to Lu Mingxu's songs.

Xie Rong lives abroad and rarely has access to domestic entertainment news.

We met a few girls while attending Lu Mingxu's concert together before.

Then Xie Rong found out that Lu Mingxu was in a relationship, and he hadn't been cheated on yet.

For a moment, Xie Rong didn't know whether she was worse off or Lu Mingxu was worse off.

Then, Xie Rong saw the photo, and Lu Mingxu's so-called love interest looked exactly like Mrs. Xie.

Not only do they look the same, but they also have the same name.

Xie Rong wondered if twins really existed in this world.

But how could the elegant and refined Mrs. Xie in front of me possibly enter the entertainment industry and cheat on her husband?

Xie Rong hesitated for a long time, but finally backed down. "It's nothing, I just met someone who looks a lot like you."

It couldn't be Madam Xie. Madam Xie would never, ever do such a thing.

Moreover, Mrs. Xie is usually so busy, how could she possibly go back to China and participate in the entertainment industry?

Moreover, what is Madam Xie's status?

How could I possibly enter the entertainment industry and be subject to everyone's judgment?

Xie Rong couldn't bear this injustice.

Pei Zhi asked doubtfully, "Very similar, how similar?"

Xie Rong scrutinized Madam Xie once more, and now it seemed that she didn't quite resemble her.

They look very similar, but their temperaments are different.

Lu Mingxu's girlfriend was incredibly charming and seemed born for the entertainment industry.

Moreover, if it really were Madam Xie, how could Madam Xie not have any emotions when asked to her face?

After the anniversary celebration was over and most of the guests had left, Pei Zhi felt extremely exhausted.

She has to maintain a certain demeanor at all times, and there are always things, big and small, that she needs to handle.

Hu Shi found Pei Zhi and said, "I've been here for a few days and I plan to go back tomorrow."

Although the manor was very fun and had many activities, Hu Shi felt embarrassed and stayed at the manor's house the whole time.
