Chapter 13 Isn't it just crying? Who wouldn't cry like that?
"No, no, no, mom."
Pei Zhiyi explained in a panic, "It was Pei Zhiwan who deliberately put it in her room to frame me."
She grabbed Xu Qinghe's sleeve again, trying to shift the blame to Pei Zhiwan again.
She knew very well that even if she still had an engagement with Zhou Shiyi, if she disappointed Xu Qinghe and Old Madam Pei, all that awaited her was being treated as a tool for marriage by Pei Zhensheng.
In the past, as long as she cried, Xu Qinghe would agree to any request with a distressed heart.
But today it didn't work.
Xu Qinghe was determined to teach Pei Zhiyi a lesson today, and completely ignored Pei Zhiyi's crying and begging, made up her mind, and turned around.
Mrs. Pei thought that Pei Zhiyi was spoiled by her family and wanted to give her the cold shoulder. She ignored her and asked Xu Qinghe to help her go downstairs.
The second floor, which was noisy just now, soon became deserted.
All the servants in the house dispersed and kept silent carefully, for fear of being implicated by accident.
After such a commotion, Pei Zhiwan did not move back to the original room.
Xu Qinghe decided to let her live in the guest room at home first. She asked the servants to clean up the study on the third floor and give it to Pei Zhiwan as a bedroom.
That study was the best room in the whole villa, and it had always been occupied by Pei Zhiyi as a study. Now Xu Qinghe asked people to clean it up for Pei Zhiwan, as if to show something.
The strange atmosphere reached its peak when Pei Zhensheng came back at night.
Pei Zhiyi sobbed and threw herself into Pei Zhensheng's arms, crying and apologizing, the sound of sobbing made her cry broken.
Just as Pei Zhiwan expected, Pei Zhensheng was softened by Pei Zhiyi's crying.
"Pei Zhiwan, what are you going to do? I brought you back from the country, not to ask you to disturb the Pei family!"
The man's angry voice rang in the air, sounding very cold.
Pei Zhiyi hid in Pei's father's arms, and looked at Pei Zhiwan in a self-concealed manner, with a smug look in his eyes.
[Okay, okay, if you say so, then I won't care about the snake that jumped into the master bedroom. Let the snake that your precious daughter brought in entangle you to death. 】
【It's just crying. Whoever doesn't cry is a grandson.】
Before Pei Zhensheng could recover from Pei Zhiwan's revelations, Pei Zhiwan's crying sounded.
Loud and sad. She didn't sound like she was wronged, but rather like she was crying for mourning.
Pei Zhensheng's veins popped out and his eyelids twitched because of her crying.
"Enough!"
Within a few seconds, Pei Zhensheng could no longer bear it and scolded, "This matter ends here."
The crying continued. Pei Zhiwan ignored the almost furious man in front of her and howled without tears.
The sharp sound filled the entire living room and instantly drowned out Pei Zhiyi's crying.
"All the maids involved are fired, and the largest room on the third floor belongs to you. Is that all right?"
Pei Zhensheng frowned and looked at Pei Zhiwan impatiently, as if she was making a fuss. "There is no evidence that Zhiyi did it. Just treat this as a little joke between you sisters. Don't make a fuss anymore."
"Little joke?"
Pei Zhiwan suddenly stopped crying, stared at Pei Zhensheng for a long time, and laughed softly. "I hope you can still think this is just a little joke tomorrow morning."
After that, Pei Zhiwan turned and went upstairs.
Pei Zhensheng turned around and looked at Pei Zhiwan, his mind full of the snake that Pei Zhiwan mentioned in his heart that sneaked into the master bedroom.
He doubted the truth of this.
Pei Zhiyi has been raised in the Pei family for so many years, maybe she has been spoiled and impulsive, but she definitely does not have that kind of heart and brain.
These noises were probably made deliberately by Pei Zhiwan.
Maybe someone instructed Pei Zhiwan to do this. It was to disrupt his thoughts, and then take the opportunity to attack the Pei family's company.
Pei Zhensheng thought so, and his chaotic thoughts gradually returned to reason.
Someone must check who this biological daughter had contact with before she was taken back to the Pei family.
At dinner time, Pei Zhensheng announced a new news at the dinner table.
"The time of the welcoming banquet has been moved forward to three days later," Pei Zhensheng said nonchalantly, "People from all the wealthy families in Tongnan will be here. Zhiyi, take your sister to prepare well, and don't let her do anything to embarrass the Pei family."
"Didn't you say to wait until my injury heals?"
Pei Zhiwan picked up a chopstick of chicken wings, looked up at Pei Zhensheng while eating, "Why is it moved forward?"
It was just a casual question, but Pei Zhensheng didn't know what was wrong with him, and he shouted at her to shut up.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was deadlocked, Pei Zhiwan pouted and said nothing, and continued to fight with the chicken wings.
[Let me guess. Could it be that the market is turbulent, and the Pei family's company has lost several large orders in a row, and they are in urgent need of a social occasion to attract business? 】
【What a pity, Pei Zhiyi was planning to use this welcoming banquet to help her good fiancée get more sales. 】
Pei Zhensheng paused while picking up the dishes, and looked at Pei Zhiwan calmly.
Whether it was those voices or her sensitivity to business, Pei Zhiwan did not behave like an ordinary girl who grew up in the countryside.
"Children should not interrupt adults' affairs."
Pei Zhensheng paused, picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and put them into Pei Zhiwan's bowl, "Prepare well for the welcoming banquet on Saturday. I will introduce you to everyone in the circle."
"I'm done, everyone please feel free."
Pei Zhiwan didn't say anything, put down her chopsticks and went back to the room.
The rice in the bowl was eaten clean, and only the green vegetable that Pei Zhensheng picked up for her was lying there alone.
When she returned to her room, Pei Zhiwan's phone on the bedside table was on.
It was a WeChat message from David, asking her if she had time to pick up his newly made dress tomorrow.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door from outside.
"Zhiwan?"
Pei Zhiyi stood outside the door, holding a dress in his hand, "The banquet is in three days, I thought you might not have a suitable dress yet, so I brought it to you." He
had barely said half of this when the door was opened from the inside.
Pei Zhiwan stood at the door and before Pei Zhiyi could finish his words, she pulled the dress over. The
bright red dress was just above the knee, and the material felt very cheap.
Pei Zhiwan lifted the dress above her head and admired it from head to toe.
"This dress is so beautiful."
Pei Zhiwan exaggerated, praising a piece of trash like a country girl who had never seen the world, "I've never seen such a beautiful dress, it must be very expensive, right?"
The more she said this, the more proud Pei Zhiyi became.
It seemed that if Pei Zhiwan said this, she would be a lowly person who could not be on the stage.
But when Pei Zhiwan said this, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "Such a beautiful skirt, I will try it on now."
