His previous arrogance and complacency have disappeared.
Liu Yun, who was standing to the side, also felt very uncomfortable.
She knew even less about Song Yanzhi's family situation.
When I heard Wang Xia say that in the car, I thought Song Yanzhi was having a hard time at home.
Who knew that the man was actually a pilot, and a former regimental commander.
These days, only the most capable people are qualified to be captains.
Not to mention, the requirements are also very high.
I've heard the salaries are shockingly high.
Her gaze kept drifting towards Pei Yuchen.
She hadn't paid much attention to him while he was in the car, but now she realized that he had an exceptional aura and exuded a strange sense of pressure wherever he sat.
His face was stern, and his eyes were deep.
It was as if nothing could shake his emotions in the slightest.
Only when speaking to Song Yanzhi beside him did he seem a bit gentler.
She shook her head.
Impossible, it's probably just an act.
Men with money tend to go bad, and Song Yanzhi's husband was no exception.
Otherwise, why would they inexplicably bring two children to their home for adoption?
Isn't that a bit strange?
Perhaps they are just maintaining a superficial relationship, while their actual relationship is already rotten.
But seeing the others toasting and chatting with him so warmly, Liu Yun felt a pang of discomfort.
My partner borrowed his car today to pick everyone up and drop them off, just hoping to make a splash.
Maybe people will look at them more favorably in the future because they have cars.
But the scene she had imagined of praising herself and her partner never happened.
Instead, Song Yanzhi and her husband stole the spotlight.
Knowing that her husband has become a captain and was so accomplished in the past, Song Yanzhi will definitely be even more popular at school in the future.
She'll get all the benefits the school offers, and there won't be any left for me.
Thinking of this, Liu Yun couldn't help but say, "So Teacher Song's family is so powerful. No wonder they don't have to worry about the burden of adopting two children. By the way, your adopted daughter came with us today. You should have seen her, right? That child seems like someone who loves excitement. She was crying and saying that Aunt Song didn't bring her. I felt quite sorry for her. Don't you think so, Brother Qiang?"
She had barely finished speaking when Zhang Qiang glared at her fiercely: "What are you doing, a woman, interrupting when people are drinking!"
Since they started dating, Zhang Qiang has always been obedient to Liu Yun and has never given her a hard time.
Even when conflicts occasionally arise, Zhang Qiang always backs down.
This was the first time he had looked at her with such a fierce gaze, and Liu Yun was startled, completely bewildered as to how she had offended him.
Hearing this, everyone looked over at the two of them and realized what was going on when they saw that Zhang Qiang's expression was not good.
She quickly raised her glass and toasted him, saying, "Yes, today we have to thank our Xiao Zhang. He drove us back and forth all the way here. He must have had a hard time."
"Yes, yes, I've never ridden in a car like this before. It's definitely much more comfortable than a regular car."
"I heard it's your brother's car, right? What does your brother do again? He actually bought a car?"
"Next time you have the chance, invite him out for dinner so we can get to know each other."
Everyone was very enthusiastic.
Zhang Qiang's expression turned even uglier. Although he didn't look at Pei Yuchen, he felt that the other man was looking at him with mockery.
That look made him unable to lift his head, his face burning with pain.
Zhang Qiang was already very uneasy after learning his identity, and wished he could find a hole to crawl into and hide.
Seeing that Pei Yuchen ignored her, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. He was usually quite talkative, but today he was silent, so she thought she should keep a low profile and let the time pass quickly.
Maybe Pei Yuchen will forget about it by tomorrow.
So nobody knew about it.
Who knew Liu Yun would suddenly speak up, and even specifically mention his car? Wasn't this just asking for trouble?
He was utterly dumbfounded by Liu Yun.
But now he had no choice but to force a smile and say, "Yes, yes, it's no trouble at all."
"I definitely will if I have the chance."
After a few words, he was sweating profusely.
Fortunately, Pei Yuchen didn't say a word from beginning to end, which made him breathe a slight sigh of relief.
But Liu Yun, seeing that everyone hadn't noticed the key question, continued, "Speaking of which, are the parents of those two children deceased? Why were you allowed to adopt them?"
Sure enough, this piqued everyone's curiosity.
Pei Yuchen said calmly, "Those are the children of my deceased comrade-in-arms. He was my relative and had been kind to me. The two children were too young, and he was worried about them, so he entrusted them to me."
Everyone sighed, "There's really no other way. It's indeed very difficult to refuse in this situation."
They were comrades-in-arms, and there was also a debt of gratitude between them; they couldn't refuse either.
That's understandable.
Liu Yun feigned confusion, "The mother of the two children is also gone?"
Pei Yuchen glanced at her. "She divorced her comrade-in-arms early, and the two have long lost contact."
Liu Yun was surprised that he answered these questions so frankly and calmly. If there really were ghosts, his behavior should have changed when she mentioned these things.
But he remained calm throughout.
It seems there's nothing strange about this.
That made her unable to ask the question.
Could it be that everything Wang Xia said was false?
Liu Yun wanted to ask more questions, but was pulled aside by her partner.
She then realized that everyone had fallen silent.
Everyone was looking at her.
Liu Yun felt a chill run down his spine.
She only realized what was going on when everyone said it was to repay a debt of gratitude, and the child's father was a soldier who had died in battle. It's not a good thing to talk about these things, but she still pressed for details, which was annoying.
