Pei Jinxiao twitched his lips and revealed an extremely ugly smile: "I, when the time comes... I will explain everything to Tu Subo."

As soon as she finished speaking, a complex emotion flashed in Sheng Yunrong's eyes. She bit her lower lip and slowly said, "Jinxiao, are you really going to do this? Don't you consider the relationship between the Sheng Mansion and the Pei Mansion?"

Pei Jinxiao's eyes became deep. He sighed softly, looked into Sheng Yunrong's eyes, and said firmly: "Rong'er, although I, Pei Jinxiao, am not a hero, I will not do anything to let my friends down or myself down. My friendship with Tu Subo is the pride of my life."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes revealed a trace of helplessness. She turned her head and looked at the night outside the window. She was silent for a while, then said, "What about the Sheng Mansion? Aren't you worried that the Sheng Mansion will be implicated because of your decision?"

At this time, Tu Subo walked in, his face was a little tired, but his eyes were firm. He looked at Pei Jinxiao and said with a smile: "Jinxiao, I know you are struggling, but I believe you will make the right decision."

Pei Jinxiao looked at Tu Subo with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. He patted Tu Subo on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, Tu Subo. It is the greatest luck of my life for me, Pei Jinxiao, to have a friend like you."

Tu Subo smiled slightly, then turned to Sheng Yunrong and said, "Miss Sheng, I know what you are worried about, but I can assure you that Pei Jinxiao's decision is absolutely worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. The Sheng family will not suffer any harm because of his decision."

Sheng Yunrong looked at Tu Subo with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Why do you trust Pei Jinxiao so much?"

Tu Subo's eyes flashed with tenderness. He looked at Sheng Yunrong and said slowly, "Because I know him, I know what kind of person he is. Although Pei Jinxiao is not a hero, he has an upright heart. For a friend like this, I, Tu Subo, am willing to give everything for him."

Sheng Yunrong was moved when she heard Tu Subo's words. She looked at Pei Jinxiao with mixed emotions in her eyes.

Pei Jinxiao's decision could not be changed. She said softly, "In this case, I can only wish you the best."

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes. He bowed deeply and said, "Rong'er, thank you. I will remember your kindness."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sheng Yunrong bit her lower lip gently. A complex expression flashed in her eyes, as if she was weighing something. The eldest daughter of the Sheng family has always been known for her cleverness. At this moment, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed a little hesitant.

"Jinxiao, are you really going to do this?" Sheng Yunrong's voice was soft but firm. She gently pushed Pei Jinxiao's arm, trying to find the answer from his expression.

Pei Jinxiao nodded slightly, his eyes firm but with a hint of helplessness: "I have no choice, Rong'er. My friendship with Tu Subo is the most precious treasure in my life, but I can't ignore the safety of the entire Pei Mansion because of my personal feelings."

After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with understanding. She sighed deeply and said slowly: "I understand your difficulties, but... it's just that Tu Subo..."

"He is a sensible man." Pei Jinxiao interrupted Sheng Yunrong, his eyes revealing a kind of trust, "I believe he can understand my decision, even if he finds it difficult to accept it for the time being."

Just then, Tu Subo walked in. His expression was complicated, with both surprise and confusion. He looked at Pei Jinxiao and Sheng Yunrong with a frown, as if he was guessing something.

"Tu Subo, you're here." Pei Jinxiao walked forward. His expression was calm, but there was a hint of imperceptible worry hidden deep in his eyes.

Tu Subo nodded slightly, his eyes moving back and forth between Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao, his tone slightly heavy: "I heard from the servants that you seemed to be discussing something important?"

Sheng Yunrong bit her lower lip lightly, and then looked at Tu Subo calmly: “Yes, we are talking about the future of Pei Mansion.”

Pei Jinxiao took a deep breath, then looked directly at Tu Subo, and said firmly: "Tu Subo, I want to tell you something. I plan to give up the right to inherit the Pei Mansion and let you manage the affairs of the mansion."

Tu Subo's face turned pale in an instant. He widened his eyes and looked at Pei Jinxiao in disbelief: "What did you say? You want to give up Pei Mansion? How is this possible!"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile: "I do this for the future of Pei Mansion. I can't let Pei Mansion fall into crisis because of my personal feelings."

Sheng Yunrong gently pulled Pei Jinxiao's sleeve and comforted him softly: "Jinxiao, you made the wisest choice. I believe Tu Subo will understand you."

Tu Subo's expression gradually calmed down. He looked at Pei Jinxiao with a glimmer of respect in his eyes: "Jinxiao, I understand. Your decision shocked me, but it also made me admire you even more."

…

She didn't expect that this incident would be such a huge blow to Pei Jinxiao.

Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao's distraught appearance, and she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her heart. She slowly walked to his side, gently held his hand, and tried to give him some warmth and strength.

"Brother Pei, are you...are you okay?" Sheng Yunrong's voice was soft and worried. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes showed endless concern.

Pei Jinxiao raised his head, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but soon, he forced a smile and shook his head: "I'm fine, Yunrong, it's just that this matter...I really didn't expect it."

The atmosphere in the living room of Sheng Mansion was solemn and depressing. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao sat in the main seats, surrounded by some elders and confidants in the mansion. Sheng Yunrong looked at Pei Jinxiao and sighed inwardly.

"Brother Pei, what exactly is going on with this matter? Can you tell me in detail?" Sheng Yunrong asked softly, her eyes full of determination.

Pei Jinxiao pondered for a moment, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "This matter involves some old things of my father. In the past, in order to consolidate his position, he colluded with some underworld forces. Recently, these forces suddenly took action, and my father was unfortunately implicated."

After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong's expression changed slightly. Pei Jinxiao's father, Prime Minister Pei, has always been known for his integrity. If this matter were to be revealed, it would be a huge blow to his reputation.

"Then...what should we do now?" Sheng Yunrong asked anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

Pei Jinxiao took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination: "I have decided that no matter what the cost, I must resolve this matter thoroughly and clear my father's name."

Sheng Yunrong has always been smart. She looked at Pei Jinxiao and thought secretly in her heart.

"Brother Pei, take a look at this, maybe it can help us."

There is always such tacit understanding between them.
