Lu Anning frowned and looked at Pei Chengyi warily. He once suspected that Pei Chengyi had taken the wrong medicine, which was why he spoke to him like that.
At this time, he shouldn't be thinking about how to comfort Shan Ying or what kind of topic to talk to him about.
"What can I talk to you about?"
"How do you know if you don't try? Don't you and I have anything in common? I know that from the beginning, the Lu family was planning to marry you to me."
Lu Anning was stunned. What did he mean by bringing this up now?
"This topic doesn't make any sense."
"If, at the family recognition banquet, it was me who announced your marriage, not Pei Yongsheng, would you still refuse the marriage?"
Pei Chengyi didn't know what was wrong. When he looked at her just now, this question suddenly popped up in his mind and he urgently wanted to know the answer.
"If you hadn't refused the marriage proposal at the banquet, would you and I be in completely different situations now?"
Lu Anning looked at Pei Chengyi carefully, easily seeing through the desire in his eyes, and after a moment, laughed out loud.
Pei Chengyi restrained his emotions: "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at you! To be precise, it's not me you're after, but the No. 1 Academy project I own. If I had married you, maybe you'd have gotten the project, and your status in the Pei family would have been even higher. But, Pei Chengyi, there's no such thing as having the best of both worlds. Didn't you choose the noble lady yourself? Now that you're telling me this, I find it ridiculous for you."
Pei Chengyi restrained his expression and said, "I don't believe you would be willing to be someone's stepmother. You haven't gotten pregnant yet. It's not because of a physical problem. It's probably because my uncle doesn't want a child! Who doesn't want their own child? You can't fool me."
"Will having a child cause me trouble when it grows up? Pregnant women not only become ugly, but also risk their lives. I can enjoy being a mother without having to go through it myself, so what's wrong with that?"
"impossible!"
"If you don't believe it, forget it! Pei Chengyi, if you have the energy, you might as well think about how to maintain a good relationship with the Shan family. Otherwise, you will have married Shan Ying in vain."
Lu Anning disdained to waste time talking to Pei Chengyi. After he finished speaking, he stood up and left without hesitation.
Pei Chengyi stared at the arrogant figure disappearing around the corner, subconsciously clenched his fists, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
Lu An Ning easily saw through his thoughts. Such a smart woman almost became his helper. What a pity.
But it didn't matter. In the future, all of this would be his.
Lu Anning didn't quite understand Pei Chengyi's intentions. Was it a test, or was he hinting at something? Whatever it was, Lu Anning decided to stay away from this disgusting man.
First he flirted with Lu Yunxi, then with Shan Ying, and now he's looking for her again. He seems smooth and sophisticated, but in fact he's inferior and stubborn inside, so he must be kept away from.
She didn't know when Pei Chengyi left, and Tang Jingyuan was alone when he came out.
The two refused the dinner at the old house, and Tang Jingyuan took Lu Anning to eat seafood hotpot to compensate her for the grievances she suffered today.
The heat swirled around, blurring their vision. While chatting and joking, Lu Anning casually asked, "Who do you think will give in first between Pei Chengyi and Shan Ying?"
Tang Jingyuan paused and said without hesitation, "The first one to give in must be Pei Chengyi! He doesn't like people to find fault with his actions, but this may not necessarily lead to reconciliation."
Lu Anning thought about it and felt that with Shan Ying's temper, she might embarrass Pei Chengyi. If things turned out like this right after their marriage, their future would be in trouble.
She suddenly looked up at the man sitting opposite her who was serving her food, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
At first, she moved into Ronghua Garden with the worst-case scenario in mind, thinking that non-interference was the best outcome. However, after getting along with each other, she discovered that the relationship between her and Tang Jingyuan was much better than that between her and Pei Chengyi.
How lucky she was that she didn't sleep with the wrong person that night.
Shan Ying regretted her decision the moment she came out of the Pei family's old house. Seeing that Pei Chengyi did not chase her out, she was angry all the way and even blamed Zhang Xiao.
"Mom, it's all your fault for being so decisive. What should I do now? Cheng Yi didn't even chase me out, and I moved back to my parents' house right after the wedding. If others knew about this, how would I face anyone?"
Zhang Xiao scolded him with a sullen face, "Are you going to let me watch you suffer in the Pei family? Pei Chengyi is really useless. He doesn't even dare to breathe in front of the old man. You shouldn't have chosen him in the first place."
"What's the point of you saying all this now! It was you who encouraged me to approach him and get pregnant. Now that I've finally married him, it's like this again. If he really doesn't care about us, mother and child, what should I do in the future?"
"Don't worry! I'm an experienced person, and men love face. You have a child by your side, and the Pei family won't ignore you. Just go home and wait for them to come and pick you up! My daughter! If you give in on this first step, you will never be able to hold your head up in the Pei family for the rest of your life. You must listen to me and never give in, understand?"
Shan Ying nodded repeatedly, but she was still very nervous. She was afraid that Pei Chengyi would ignore her. What would she do in the future?
That night, Pei Chengyi brought some supplements to the Shan family to pick someone up. As Tang Jingyuan said, he didn't like to give people something to talk about. He had to have an attitude, but he also had principles.
