Chapter 262 Not to be underestimated.
What a joke! His wedding with Lin Xiyin was a ceremony that represented blessings and beauty.
How could we possibly let a mistress like Zhou Yusu participate?
Stay away from anything that is unpleasant, ugly, or dirty.
Pei Yaohai hung up the phone, and Zhou Yusu asked from the side, "How did it go?"
Pei Yaohai gritted his teeth and said, "He really thinks he's all grown up now!"
Zhou Yusu said, "I told you a long time ago to pay more attention to business, but you never cared. Now you're only just realizing it? Don't think you're all grown up; others have already flown away!"
Pei Yaohai did not have any ambition in his early years, but his temperament has changed drastically in the last two years as he has grown older.
Previously, Zhou Yusu and he were considered a harmonious couple.
However, his drastic change in temperament was also related to Zhou Yusu.
Originally, Zhou Yusu believed that her son was capable and would surely achieve great things like Pei Muyi in the future.
But now, she has come to terms with reality.
Pei Yunqing... is just like Liu Bei's son, Liu Shan, who couldn't be helped.
None of the projects I invested in before made money.
I've been scammed out of money several times.
He has absolutely no business sense.
Zhou Yusu finally gave up and set her sights on Pei Muye.
The Pei family's business is so big, it doesn't make sense that it all belongs to Pei Muye alone, right?
She constantly whispered in his ear, and after listening to it for a while, Pei Yaohai also felt that Pei Muye neither respected him nor cared for his younger brother.
If he were gone, would he be able to tolerate Pei Yunqing?
Absolutely not!
Therefore, Pei Yaohai felt that everything he did was for the sake of harmony among his brothers.
Otherwise, after he passes away, if his brothers turn against each other, he won't be able to face his ancestors.
Therefore, in his view, Pei Muyi should not only treat Zhou Yusu as his own mother, but also be a brother to Pei Yunqing.
If Pei Muye cannot do it, then that would be a great act of treason!
Now that Pei Yunqing has joined the company and secured projects, he feels a little better.
But who would have thought that he wouldn't want Zhou Yusu and his younger brother to attend his wedding?
Pei Yaohai could not accept this!
Upon hearing his words, Zhou Yusu's eyes immediately reddened: "I've been married to you for so many years, have I ever brought shame to your Pei family? Now that the eldest son is getting married, I, as his nominal mother, can't even attend the wedding. How can I face anyone after this? I can't even hold my head up!"
Pei Yaohai tried to comfort her: "You're not her biological mother, so it's really not a big deal if you don't attend the wedding..."
He definitely wanted Zhou Yusu to participate.
But considering Pei Muyi's bad temper, I wonder if even he won't be able to participate.
It makes you even more irritable.
Zhou Yusu didn't say anything, she just kept crying.
Pei Yaohai usually fell for her tricks, but now her crying annoyed him: "All you do is cry! If you knew this would happen, why didn't you treat him better back then?!"
Zhou Yusu felt even more aggrieved: "Did I hit him or scold him? After I came here, didn't I want to get along with him? He ignored me and kept following the old man, so how could I have a chance to be nice to him! Does the old man think I don't know what he's thinking? Isn't he just afraid that I'll mistreat his grandson?!"
"You're a stepmother, so it's understandable that the old man is wary of you."
"Then why are you blaming me!"
Pei Yaohai sighed: "So what do we do now?"
Zhou Yusu thought for a moment and said, "After all, it's a marriage alliance with the Qu family. You should contact Qu Jianhang. If we don't show up, it won't look good for them."
Pei Yaohai thought that made sense.
He had contacted Qu Jianhang before, and it took him a lot of searching to get Qu Jianhang's phone number.
He called her back then, and Qu Jianhang answered quickly: "Is this Mr. Pei?"
Pei Yaohai quickly said, "It's me, in-law."
Qu Jianhang smiled gently: "Yes, in-law, why did you call?"
"It's about Makino and Xiyin's wedding."
Qu Jianhang said, "Is there something wrong with the wedding? Well, I didn't get involved in their wedding. If you have any questions, you can talk to your son directly."
Pei Yaohai quickly said, "It's not about the wedding. It's like this, this kid... sigh, I'll be frank with you, I'm not ashamed to say it. He doesn't want my wife and me to attend his wedding. Tell me, how can we not attend such a big event as a wedding?"
Qu Jianhang was taken aback: "Mu Ye said you're not allowed to participate?"
"From what he said, he didn't want me to attend. I'm his father! Tell me, is there such a thing as this? A son gets married and the father doesn't attend, wouldn't people laugh at him? He won't listen to me, so I called my in-laws, hoping you could persuade him."
Qu Jianhang didn't say much: "Then I'll make a call and find out what's going on."
Pei Yaohai said, "Okay, okay, I'll wait for your news. In any case, we need to save face and not let others laugh at us behind our backs, right?"
Qu Jianhang smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
She hung up the phone and called Pei Muye.
Pei Muyi quickly answered, "Mom, is there something you need?"
He changed his address very smoothly, calling her "Mom" more often than Lin Xiyin.
"Hey, your dad just called me and said you don't want him to attend the wedding, is that true?"
Pei Muye frowned: "Why did he come to you again? I didn't say he couldn't participate, I said Pei Yunqing and his mother couldn't participate."
“I knew it,” Qu Jianhang said. “He is, after all, your father. It wouldn’t be good if he didn’t participate.”
“He wanted the whole family of three to go, but I definitely wouldn’t allow it.”
"Mom supports you," Qu Jianhang said. "This is your wedding; you can invite whoever you want."
"Mom, thank you."
"What are you saying?" Qu Jianhang said, "But you and your father still need to maintain a good relationship. That Zhou... his surname is Zhou, right?"
"yes."
"She's an elder, after all. If you don't want her to participate, talk to your dad properly."
"I see."
Pei Muye doesn't care what others say.
But he listened to what Qu Jianhang said.
He called Pei Yaohai.
Pei Yaohai didn't expect Pei Muye to call him so quickly.
It seems Qu Jianhang has a lot of guts when it comes to doing things.
That's true; without courage, they wouldn't have achieved such success.
He answered the phone, his voice tinged with smugness: "So, your mother-in-law called and said something?"
Pei Muye said coldly, "Don't bother them again. Are you that close to them? How dare you call them?"
"She and I are related by marriage! Why can't we call each other?"
Pei Muye was too lazy to say anything more to him.
"You can attend the wedding, but not everyone else."
"What do you mean by 'others'? Those are your stepmother and your own brother!"
"You yourself said she's your stepmother." Pei Muye scoffed coldly, "She has nothing to do with me, however you do!"
"You!" Pei Yaohai hadn't expected that Qu Jianhang's phone call would have this effect: "What exactly did Qu Jianhang tell you?!"
Pei Muye said, "My affairs are none of anyone else's business!"
"She's your mother-in-law!"
“Yes, she’s my mother-in-law, she has nothing to do with you,” Pei Muye said. “She knows how to care for me, but what about you? When have you ever considered my feelings?”
Pei Muye is too powerful and too independent.
From childhood to adulthood, it seems he never needed Pei Yaohai.
Upon hearing this, Pei Yaohai was both angry and aggrieved: "I don't care about your feelings? Has anyone in the family ever mistreated you? You're managing this huge family business all by yourself now, have I said anything about it?"
"She was concerned about me, but disregarded my mother's health, and cheated on me with another woman. They were even pregnant at that time, weren't they? It was because Zhou Yusu's health was poor that she lost her first child! Otherwise, would she have come to our house back then to force my mother to give up her place?"
"How...how did you know!"
Pei Yaohai panicked immediately.
No matter what, he was in the wrong in this matter.
He cheated on his wife during their marriage, and he also let down their children.
"If you don't want anyone to know, then don't do it in the first place." Pei Muye's voice was even colder: "All these years, I've just not held it against you. If we were to really settle accounts, there would be a lot to say. You know better than anyone how my mother died!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Pei Yaohai's heart skipped a beat: "Your mother is sick, the hospital has records of it!"
"If you hadn't cheated on me, would my mother have gotten sick?" Pei Muye said, "You are the one who indirectly caused her death!"
"I'm not!"
Pei Yaohai was never a person of strong will.
Hearing Pei Muyi's words, he immediately recalled his deceased wife's haggard face and sunken cheeks...
"Don't talk nonsense..." He forced himself to calm down: "I admit, I'm sorry to your mother. But back then I said I'd give her half of the family property and divorce her, but she didn't agree..."
"You cheated on me, you made a mistake, why should you only get half of my mother's assets? You should have left with nothing back then!"
"I am your father!"
All Pei Yaohai could do was yell at Pei Muye.
Pei Muye said, "You should be glad you're my father. If you weren't..."
Before he could finish speaking, a fine layer of sweat broke out on Pei Yaohai's back.
"Pei Muye!" His voice trembled slightly. "What do you want to do! Let me tell you, if your grandfather knew in the afterlife how unfilial you are, he would not rest in peace!"
“The only one who makes Grandpa unable to rest in peace is you,” Pei Muye said. “Have you forgotten that it was Grandpa who made you leave with nothing?”
How could Pei Yaohai forget?
The old man had admired Pei Muye since he was a child, and when he learned that Pei Muye had done something outrageous, he almost beat him to death.
He knew his son was hopeless, so he preferred to abandon his son to save his grandson.
It was also because he always protected Pei Muye that Pei Muye might not have been able to grow up safely.
After all, Zhou Yusu's name is Su, and she's not one to be trifled with.
Even if she couldn't actually do anything to Pei Muye, she could at least ruin him.
But now, Pei Muye is like a big tree, with deep roots and lush foliage, and no one can shake him.
Pei Yaohai had no words to refute Pei Muye.
Pei Muye concluded by saying, "Don't use this to bother the people around me anymore. I'll say it again: if you want to come, come yourself. Don't even think about it."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Muye rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
Meanwhile, Pei Yaohai was also having a major headache.
Zhou Yusu had been discussing it with her son for a while, and now she leaned over and said, "Honey, I have an idea I'd like to share with you?"
