Chapter 285 The password is your birthday

Pei Zhensheng and Pei Qizhong held a grand opening dinner at the Di's Hotel in the imperial capital. This time he was well prepared and booked all the restaurants and banquet halls of the Di's Hotel. Every guest was welcome to attend, and no invitation was required for entry.

The Di's Hotel is the largest hotel in the imperial capital, with eight stars. The eighth floor and below are all banquet halls, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people for dinner at the same time.

Even so, the seats were full.

When Mrs. Pei saw this, she was stunned.

She kept chanting Amitabha in her mouth. Now the Pei family is really glorious.

"Mom, all this is the good luck that Zhiwan brought to us." Xu Qinghe was also very excited beside her.

Mrs. Pei nodded and said, "That's right. Zhiwan is our lucky star. She was trained for 18 years after being replaced. Otherwise, how could she have the ability she has today? Only those who endure hardships can become successful. God has eyes and finally made our imperial capital Pei's direct bloodline prosperous."

Xu Qinghe supported Mrs. Pei and walked around the banquet halls while talking.

Suddenly, she found someone who looked like Pei Zhiyi. Her heart skipped a beat. What was she doing here?

Mrs. Pei noticed her abnormality and asked hurriedly, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Qinghe leaned close to her ear and whispered to her that she saw Pei Zhiyi.

Mrs. Pei knew that Zhang Hongmei and Pei Guoqiang were both arrested. Now Pei Zhiyi was alone, so she couldn't help but feel emotional.

In order to prevent her from continuing to attack Pei, they decided to take the opportunity to talk to her.

"Daughter-in-law, take her to the lounge, I'll talk to her."

Xu Qinghe asked in surprise: "Mom, what else do you have to say to her? Let's just ignore her. Today is the Pei family banquet, and we don't need to bother with her. Let her have a good meal here. Look at her, she is also dressed up, afraid of being recognized."

Mrs. Pei glared at her and snorted unhappily: "Don't you listen to what I say?"

Xu Qinghe heard this and sighed helplessly: "Mom, okay, I'll go call her."

Mrs. Pei turned and walked out of the banquet hall.

Xu Qinghe walked up to Pei Zhiyi and whispered in her ear: "The old lady wants to talk to you."

Pei Zhiyi didn't expect that she would be recognized after disguising herself. She nervously stated: "I'm just eating, not messing around."

Seeing her like this, Xu Qinghe felt very uncomfortable. After all, she had raised her for eighteen years.

Zhang Hongmei hated that she had changed her child, but Pei Zhiyi was innocent.

"The old lady asked you to go, why are you nagging?"

Pei Zhiyi shook her head and refused to get up.

Xu Qinghe had to threaten: "Do you really want me to call the security guard to take you over by force?"

Pei Zhiyi got up in a hurry and humbly replied: "No, Mom, I'll go with you."

In the lounge, Mrs. Pei was sitting on the sofa. When she saw Pei Zhiyi enter the room, she motioned Xu Qinghe to go out.

Xu Qinghe hesitated for a moment, turned around and went out, closing the door.

She stood outside the door and felt more and more uneasy.

The old lady always loved Pei Zhiyi and was worried that no matter how soft-hearted she was, she would be a little soft-hearted if she let her return to the Pei family.

Xu Qinghe understood that if the upper beam was not straight, the lower beam would be crooked. Pei Zhiyi could never return to the Pei family. She would no longer truly be the head of the Pei family.

So she went to find Pei Zhiwan to discuss with her what to do.

In the lounge, Pei Zhiyi sat half of her butt on the sofa, looking cautious, her body still trembling slightly.

Seeing that her clothes were all cheap stall goods, and some places were torn, Mrs. Pei knew that she was not living a good life now.

"Pei Zhiyi, didn't you find a job? The Pei family has trained you for eighteen years. With your ability, you shouldn't have a bad life, right?"

Pei Zhiyi said with a choked voice: "No company wants me. I can only do odd jobs and can't make any money."

"Why doesn't anyone want you?" Mrs. Pei asked puzzled.

"They don't want to offend the Pei family. They all know that I am the abandoned daughter of the Pei family. No, I am the adopted daughter who found my biological parents and I am notorious. They dare not hire me for fear of offending the Pei family..."

Pei Zhiyi choked up and looked aggrieved and distressed.

Mrs. Pei looked at her with a hint of pity in her eyes.

The child is a good child, smart and capable, but she doesn't use her mind in the right way.

"Have you ever thought about why you ended up like this? When Zhiwan came back, you were still the eldest daughter, but what did you do? You schemed everywhere to drive her out of the Pei family. This is ungrateful. And a few times after that, she had feelings for you, but you still regarded Zhiwan as your mortal enemy. You will never live a happy life with such evil thoughts."

"Can you say that what your mother did to Zhiwan at the New Town Fashion Design Competition has nothing to do with you? Can you say that your father poisoned the fish at the Lin family banquet has nothing to do with you? Of course you can shirk the responsibility, but they all did it for you to return to the Pei family so that they can enjoy the glory and wealth. Zhiyi, grandma told you since you were a child that kindness is the only weapon in life."

...

Old Madam Pei tried earnestly to persuade Pei Zhiyi to turn back and live a good life.

But Pei Zhiyi agreed on the surface and regretted her future, but she cursed viciously in her heart.

"Grandma, I listened to you no matter what, but now I am alone and helpless, and I can't find a job. I feel like I can't live anymore."

"If I hadn't eaten for several days, I wouldn't have sneaked in to the banquet. I really have no face to come."

She cried very sadly, as if she really knew she was wrong.

Mrs. Pei sighed deeply.

"After all, you are the daughter of our Pei family, and we can't bear to see you in such a state. Now your parents are in prison, and it's sad whether you are in the imperial capital or Tongnan. I sold the courtyard for 600,000 yuan, plus my private money, and I can make up 1 million yuan. You can take it to go abroad, either to study abroad or to find a job and start your life anew."

"You and I are grandparents, and this is all I can do for you."

She took out a card from her pocket and handed it to Pei Zhiyi.

Pei Zhiyi stopped crying and looked at Mrs. Pei in disbelief. After a long time, she murmured, "No, grandma, I can't take your money. I don't deserve to spend your money. I'm a bad kid and have done so many things that disappoint you, my parents, and my younger sister."

As she spoke, she slapped herself, feeling painful and ashamed.

This operation really confused Mrs. Pei.

She forced the bank card into her hand and warned her earnestly: "The password is your birthday. If you can change it, this will still be your home when you return to China. Child, don't blame grandma for being cruel and driving you away now. Only when you go to a place where no one knows you can you truly start a new life, reflect on yourself, get rid of your inner demons, and return to goodness."

"Grandma hopes to be alive and wait for you to come back."

Pei Zhiyi sneered in her heart: "Old thing, you are still useful to me, you can't die."

She realized that Mrs. Pei was someone who could be used, so she performed more attentively.

"Grandma, wuwu, I must make a name for myself outside and never let you down. You will wait for me to come back..."
