They didn't use any profanity, but everyone was calling her ugly.
Pei Qingqing was so angry that her nose was crooked.
He pointed at her but couldn't speak.
She immediately looked at Pei Yuchen, her expression pitiful, hoping he would speak up for her.
But Pei Yuchen's expression darkened slightly.
She thought to herself, "You, Song Yanzhi, are you trying to get yourself killed by insulting me in front of my brother?"
Even if her older brother has some feelings for her now, he wouldn't tolerate her speaking to his own sister like that.
Sure enough, Pei Yuchen spoke up.
"You've gone too far."
Pei Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she immediately glared at Song Yanzhi triumphantly.
"Big brother, right? She's not speaking human language!"
Pei Yuchen turned his head coldly, his voice low and icy: "I'm talking about you, Pei Qingqing."
"What?"
Pei Qingqing was stunned.
"Yan Zhi is your sister-in-law. You dare to say another word about her next time?"
Pei Yuchen's voice was icy cold, his face grim and pale. Only then did Pei Qingqing realize the gravity of the situation, her face turning ashen with fear. "I didn't..."
Several female classmates dared not stand with her and carefully retreated to the side.
Putting everything else aside, Pei Qingqing's older brother is truly terrifying.
However, it was Pei Qingqing who spoke carelessly.
They almost believed it.
"Apologize."
"What?"
"I'm telling you to apologize to your sister-in-law."
“I…” Pei Qingqing’s eyes widened, her voice rising as if the sky had fallen in disbelief.
Of course she didn't want to apologize; it was too embarrassing!
"But she also said I'm ugly." She then glared at Song Yanzhi.
Song Yanzhi remained calm. "I didn't say you were ugly. I just thought you were uglier after you said that about me."
Is this ever going to end? All she did was call her ugly, and nine out of ten of her sentences are about how ugly she is! Pei Qingqing almost fainted from anger.
"You...you've gone too far!"
"Alright," Pei Yuchen interrupted her. "Is it so hard to apologize? What did your sister-in-law do to you that you're going to badmouth her behind her back?"
"She insulted me too, didn't you hear that, brother? You're being too biased."
Pei Yuchen said, "If you don't scold her first, will she talk back to you?"
Pei Qingqing choked.
Several girls tugged at her, saying, "Qingqing, why don't you apologize? It's not a big deal."
"Yes, you're not ashamed, but we are."
Pei Qingqing's face flushed red, and she felt as if the whole world was against her.
It's one thing for her older brother to side with Song Yanzhi, but why is her friend also making her apologize?
She felt incredibly aggrieved, but deep down she was already starting to regret it. She couldn't bring herself to do it, yet she didn't dare to run away, as her older brother was still watching her closely.
What if I offend my older brother and he refuses to pay my tuition fees in the future?
Her mother said that her older brother is successful now, and she must get along well with him when she comes back, and things can't be the same as before.
He was filled with resentment but dared not argue, so he stiffly uttered, "I was wrong, I won't say it again, okay?"
Pei Yuchen's face darkened further. "I asked you to apologize to your sister-in-law, not to apologize to me."
"You've been in school for over ten years, and this is how schools teach you to be disrespectful to your elders? You might as well not study at all."
Pei Qingqing was so ashamed to be lectured like this in front of everyone that she blushed with embarrassment. But before she could even get angry, she was scared half to death by her brother's words that she should stop studying. Her face turned pale, and she said to Song Yanzhi with cold sweat, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I really know I was wrong. I will never talk nonsense again."
Song Yanzhi nodded and said, "I don't forgive you."
Pei Qingqing: "..."
Everyone looked embarrassed.
Even Pei Yuchen looked at her with some surprise.
But Song Yanzhi continued, "No need for an apology. Just remember to return the jewelry you took from me. I don't want the clothes, but I won't let you off easy either. I'll settle for about twenty yuan. Give me the money."
As she stared in disbelief, Song Yanzhi continued, "It's not that I'm stingy and won't even give you a piece of clothing. I'm just worried that you'll develop the bad habit of taking things from others. I'm your sister-in-law. If you don't give it back to me, I can let it go, but others don't have my good temper. So I have to make you pay a price to understand this principle."
Those around them agreed, nodding in agreement.
Pei Qingqing's face turned green with anger.
Twenty yuan? Her few tattered clothes are worth twenty yuan? How dare she not fly to the sky!
Forget it, I'll just have to admit defeat this time. She'll have plenty of opportunities to get revenge later.
Let's just put up with her this time.
Anyway, I'm going back now. Even if I don't return it to her, what can she do?
Thinking this way, Pei Qingqing felt much better.
Unexpectedly, Song Yanzhi said, "You two seem to be very good friends, so this incident must have left a very bad impression on Qingqing. But it's good that she can admit her mistakes and correct them. This time you witnessed her correcting her bad habits, so you can still be good friends. After all, I'm also worried that if she can't get anything from me, she'll ask you for it, and that would be very embarrassing."
Upon hearing this, the girls all looked at Pei Qingqing with disgust.
But turning hostile immediately would be inappropriate, so he said bluntly, "Yes, Qingqing, your sister-in-law is absolutely right. Your behavior is wrong."
"You'd better return your sister-in-law's things and money to her right now, or we won't be friends with you anymore."
Pei Qingqing's face turned green, and she almost fainted from anger.
Song Yanzhi was very satisfied to see Pei Qingqing leave with a bruised and swollen face.
