What's all the noise about?

After that sound, all other sounds fell silent instantly.

Fang Ruotang was the first to react. She quickly ran towards the direction where Grandpa Pei was going downstairs. When she looked up and saw Ye Ningwan and Pei Fengzhi still standing on the steps, she glared coldly at Ye Ningwan before stepping forward and hugging Grandpa Pei's arm.

Grandpa! You're here!

Old Master Pei glanced at Fang Ruotang, his stern and imposing face showing little softening, and he also reprimanded her.

"Don't try to coax me. You were wrong too. Don't think I didn't hear you. How dare you order your elders around like that!"

Fang Ruotang lowered her head, looking pitiful, and said in a low voice with red eyes.

"Grandpa, how can you blame me? It's all because of Second Aunt..."

Grandpa Pei stared at Fang Ruotang and lectured her.

"Even if your second aunt is wrong, she's still your second aunt. You can't talk to her like that no matter what! Go and apologize to your second aunt!"

Fang Ruotang's eyes reddened even more, tears welling up in her eyes. Through her teary eyes, she looked at Old Master Pei and stamped her foot while sobbing.

"Grandpa!"

Fang Ruotang is the best at acting cute, and she used to be able to coax Grandpa Pei very well, but it seems that this method is not working today.

Old Master Pei spoke coldly to Fang Ruotang.

"go!"

Fang Ruotang stamped her foot, sniffed, swallowed back her tears, let go of Old Master Pei's arm, and turned to walk towards the dining table.

She stood before Madam Pei, head bowed, tears welling in her reddened eyes, and spoke to Madam Pei with utter resentment.

"Second Aunt, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

In front of Old Master Pei, Madam Pei naturally had to act magnanimously.

She immediately stood up and said with a smile.

"How could your second aunt be angry with you? You are my niece after all, and your second aunt dotes on you."

Fang Ruotang was disgusted by the intimate manner of Madam Pei. She suppressed her urge to vomit, forced a smile, and exchanged a few more polite words with Madam Pei.

Old Master Pei walked over and interrupted the two of them.

"Alright, second son's wife, although Mingzhu is already married, she is still the eldest daughter of the Pei family, my daughter! No one can disrespect her! Do you understand?"

Madam Pei's face turned pale. Fang Ruotang, who had just felt extremely aggrieved, immediately understood and gave Madam Pei a smug look.

It turns out that Grandpa used himself as a raft so that he could be a support for Mom.

It seems that Grandpa's favorite daughter is still his eldest daughter!

Thinking of this, Fang Ruotang couldn't help but feel even more smug.

However, Madam Pei was clearly more shrewd and calculating than Fang Ruotang. Her expression only darkened for a moment before she quickly put on a smile and greeted Miss Pei politely.

"Elder sister, it's all my fault. I have a quick temper and a bad temper. I had a few words with Second Master before we came. You won't hold it against me, will you?"

Miss Pei curled her lips into a smile, finally satisfied. She glanced at Madam Pei and said with a rather arrogant tone.

"How could that be? I know that you come from a humble family, and your upbringing was quite free-range. It's normal that you don't know the rules."

Madam Pei's face twitched. She endured it for a long time but managed to hold back. However, she made a vicious note in her mind.

Although she's at a disadvantage now, she'll definitely get her revenge someday!

Things change every thirty years, who knows what the final outcome will be?

As soon as Grandpa Pei appeared, the noisy scene in the restaurant was brought under control.

Butler Wang pulled out the chair at the head of the table, and Ye Ningwan helped Old Master Pei sit down.

Grandpa Pei's gaze swept over everyone present.

The younger members of the Pei family stood respectfully in front of the dining table, waiting for Old Master Pei.

Only then did Old Master Pei raise his hand, palm down, and gently press down with his palm, giving instructions to everyone.

"Please sit down."

"Feng Zhi and Wanwan, please sit next to me."

Everyone took their seats in turn.

Old Master Pei then gave further instructions.

"Serve the food."

Upon hearing this, Butler Wang immediately led a group of servants forward and placed all the dishes on the huge round table in front of them, which was large enough to seat more than 20 people.

Everyone waited quietly for Grandpa Pei to start eating.

Only after Grandpa Pei picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the cold dish at the front did everyone dare to start eating.

Miss Pei stood up and ladled a bowl of soup for Old Master Pei.

"Today's dishes were prepared by the chef I brought. This chef is the best at Cantonese cuisine, and his specialty is soup. Please try today's pigeon soup. The chef added a lot of Chinese herbs to it, which can replenish qi, benefit the spleen, and strengthen the body."

Upon hearing this, Madam Pei the Second, who had just suffered a loss at the hands of Miss Pei, was naturally unwilling to let her off so easily.

He immediately frowned and denied it.

“Medicinal cuisine? I’ve found quite a few medicinal cuisine recipes for the old man before, and even found a chef who specializes in making medicinal cuisine, but those medicinal cuisines all have a strong Chinese medicine taste, and the old man simply can’t drink them.”

She chuckled, as if she were standing up for Miss Pei.

"That's right. My older sister hasn't been back for years, so she probably doesn't know about these things. Dad definitely won't blame you."

Miss Pei ignored his words, glanced at Madam Pei indifferently, and then turned to Old Master Pei with a smile to offer her advice.

"Dad, please try it first. If you're not satisfied, I'll have the chef improve it. I personally tasted each of the hundreds of chefs who know how to make medicinal cuisine. I also tasted every soup he makes beforehand to make sure it's to your liking before I dared to let him make a fool of himself in front of you."
