Chapter 207 How Thick-skinned
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and although Jiang Tingting is hateful, the even more hateful Pei Yuanqing is around, so the Gu family ignored Jiang Tingting.
But Song Qiang thought her voice was too loud. "If you shout again, I'll beat you up too."
Seeing that Song Qiang didn't seem to be joking, Jiang Tingting was so scared that she shut her mouth and took several steps back.
Pei Yuanqing was very talkative at first, but after being kicked a few times, he became obedient and now began to beg for mercy.
Gu Mingyu really wanted to kill him, but he knew what he was doing. He only stopped kicking when Pei Yuanqing was kicked to the point where he couldn't get up.
"You...you guys...I'm going to sue you." Pei Yuanqing's voice was unclear, because his face was swollen. Not only was he slapped by Gu Lan, but Gu Mingyu also slapped him a few times.
"Go ahead. Do you need me to tell you how to get to the government office?" Gu Mingyu flicked off the dirt on his clothes and glared at him with disgust.
"You are going too far."
"Don't you think it's right to beat up a little thief who stole something?" Gu Mingjing asked with a sneer.
"Village...Village Chief, you've seen it all. The Gu family is unreasonable."
Old Master Qin snorted coldly, "I think you are the one who is unreasonable. The Gu family doesn't know how to be reasonable. Boy, if my daughter was bullied like this, believe it or not, I would chop him up with a knife. Besides, you stole things, I saw it with my own eyes, you deserve it."
"You...you are in cahoots with each other, you are in cahoots with each other, you..."
Li Mumu interrupted him with disdain, "You only know two words? If you're so capable, why did you come and steal my firewood?"
"That's right, thief, how shameful." Gu Yu made a face at Pei Yuanqing.
"You...you..." Pei Yuanqing pointed at the crowd. It was not known whether he was afraid or he couldn't think of anything. He kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't say anything.
"Brother Gu, even if the deal fails, we still have friendship. You've gone too far." Pei Zhen arrived late, with Jiang Xinyue by his side.
As for their two children, they did not come out because they disliked the cold.
Jiang Xinyue had sharp eyes and noticed Gu Lan's belly at once. She was worried.
Judging from the size of the belly, it must be the bloodline of the Pei family, but didn’t the doctor say that it couldn’t be saved?
Gu Mingyu was even more furious when he saw Pei Zhen. "How dare you say that? My Gu family is in decline, and I'm not asking for your help. But Lan'er is your legitimate wife, and she's pregnant with your child. How did you treat her? If Mumu hadn't arrived in time, my Lan'er would have died."
"And now you're telling me I went too far. If I did, I should strangle this beast to death."
Gu Mingyu's murderous look frightened Pei Yuanqing so much that he took two steps back and subconsciously hid behind his father.
"Brother Gu, there is a misunderstanding here..."
Gu Mingyu raised his hand. "There's no misunderstanding. I trust my daughter. I already know the whole story."
Pei Zhen also saw Gu Lan's belly. What Jiang Xinyue had thought of, he naturally thought of it too. "Now Gu Lan is pregnant with the blood of our Pei family. Since this is the case, the fate of our two families cannot be severed. This is God's will. You have beaten and scolded her for the previous mistakes. For the sake of the child, let's put it behind us now."
"Bullshit." Gu Mingyu was a general commanding thousands of troops. How could he not understand the meaning behind his words?
"Pei Zhen, you're just daydreaming," Gu Mingyu scolded. "What does the baby in my daughter's belly have to do with your family? Do you know now that the baby in her belly is your Pei family's bloodline? When you drugged her and refused to see a doctor, why didn't you think that the baby in her belly was also the Pei family's bloodline?"
"Who...drug her?" Pei Yuanqing asked.
Gu Lan sneered, "Dad, there's no need to tell them this. Pei Yuanqing, listen, I, Gu Lan, and the child in my belly will have nothing to do with you in this life."
Pei Yuanqing looked at Jiang Xinyue. Although Jiang Xinyue felt guilty, she pretended to be fine.
Pei Yuanqing, a dull-witted man, naturally felt that Jiang Xinyue had been wronged.
"Oh, Brother Gu, you are so kind as to not hold my faults against me. Are you really going to watch the child in Gu Lan's belly be fatherless?"
Pei Zhen said earnestly, "Then don't you think about how others will look at him? He will be looked down upon from the moment he is born. The child is innocent."
"What do you mean by drugging? Who would drug her? I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding here. As for not seeing a doctor, that's even more nonsense." Pei Zhen said, "The one she's carrying in her belly is the eldest son and grandson of our Pei family. We can't even wait to take care of our baby, so how could we harm him?"
If Li Mumu hadn't seen it, she would have been fooled by Pei Zhen.
Unfortunately, she knew that Pei Zhen knew the whole thing.
He knew Jiang Xinyue's methods, but he acquiesced because he didn't want Gu Lan to be alive either.
But he never thought that there would be a time when his property would be confiscated and he would be exiled, unable to eat enough and even having trouble keeping warm.
"Look, we've also come to this village. It's God's arrangement, which shows that the fate between our two families has not been severed. Brother Gu, today I want to make a statement in front of everyone. Yuan Qing did not take good care of Gu Lan before. I will punish him. Now that this child has survived a great disaster, we should take good care of him and raise him up."
Gu Mingyu sneered, "What do you want to do?"
In fact, if the Pei family really wanted to take good care of the child, he wouldn't mind. After all, the child has half Pei family blood.
However, will anyone from the Pei family accompany him?
Pei Zhen smiled. "I was thinking about letting them live a good life and take care of the child together, you see..."
"Go and dream your dreams."
The person who spoke was not someone else, but Zhang Yi.
She was amused by Pei Zhen's shamelessness. "Mr. Pei, what are you thinking? Don't you think we don't know? Are you short of food and clothes, or money to spend?"
Pei Zhen's face turned blue and red.
Jiang Xinyue was eager to protect her husband, "Madam Gu, when they are talking, we women should stop interrupting. After all..."
"After all, you, Jiang Xinyue, didn't interrupt, you only intervened. You didn't think that you could just let it go, did you?"
Zhang Yi looked at Jiang Xinyue coldly, "You can't believe it, can you? Our Mumu is not only a doctor, but also very skilled. You drugged my daughter and my grandson, but you failed. Your family is truly shameless. Our Lan'er finally agreed to escape from the sea of suffering. She would only go back if her brain is broken."
Gu Lan nodded and said, "The child is mine alone. The child from your Pei family was killed by Jiang Xinyue herself a long time ago."
Jiang Xinyue's expression darkened. "Lan'er, I know you've never liked me because I'm not Yuan Qing's biological mother. It's fine if you don't respect me, but how can you throw dirty water on me?"
