"All that talk about how much he loves my mother is just bullshit. Men's mouths are just lies."
Pei Zexing was humiliated, and his clenched fists betrayed his fury.
Pei Antong couldn't stand Fu Wanning, who used to be so timid and submissive, becoming so arrogant and domineering. "She's just occupying the position without doing anything, and she won't step down and make way for someone more virtuous. Does she expect Dad to remain chaste for her? In reality, my mother is Dad's lawfully wedded wife. Dad only registered the marriage with my mother. Your mother didn't even register it. She's more like a mistress."
These words immediately drew Pei Zexing's angry rebuke: "An Tong, that's enough. Don't talk nonsense. No matter what, Fu Qingning was my former wife."
Fu Qingning took it to heart. In her view, any explanation was just a cover-up, and there was indeed something fishy going on between Pei Zexing and his mother.
"If you're not legally married, you're just roommates. No wonder Grandma Pei always calls me a bastard and insults my mother as a vixen who abandoned her husband and children. Since you're not legally married, you're not husband and wife. How can you say she abandoned her husband and children? I've heard that before my mother left, she entrusted my brother and me to my great-uncle's family. You're the ones who want to take advantage of us and deliberately occupy us. Is this how your Pei family dislikes me?"
Pei Tai glared at Pei Antong with displeasure. This good-for-nothing fool had directly revealed the truth of the past. Without this connection, how could he continue to control Fu Wanning? "Now that your household registration is with the Pei family, you are the Pei family's granddaughter. Grandpa promises you that from now on, I will treat you well. Hai Lu and the others wronged you by sending you to the countryside. Grandpa will use his connections to see if we can get it revoked."
"If it can't be cancelled, Grandpa will take care of things for you and make sure you live as comfortably as possible in the Northwest."
Fu Wanning snorted coldly, unmoved by reason, "No need, Grandpa Pei, you're really fake. Pei Guangzong is already twenty years old and has accomplished nothing. Some people are already regimental commanders at twenty. Compared to him, Pei Guangzong is really useless. He might as well sign up to go to the countryside with us!"
Pei Guangzong was so angry that he jumped up and down. "You wish! Mom and Dad, hide the household registration book well, and don't let her steal it to register."
Cui Hailu nodded. She would hide the household registration book in a hidden cabinet and lock the door tightly when she went out. As long as she could hold out for a week, Fu Wanning would be beyond saving.
The most urgent task is to keep a close eye on Fu Wanning and prevent her from secretly selling her job.
Little did they know, despite all their precautions, Cui Hailu and her two companions overlooked the fact that Fu Wanning had a hidden agenda.
All their conspiracies and schemes will eventually be crushed.
The atmosphere in the living room remained tense, creating the illusion that a major battle was about to break out.
Pei Antong glanced at Fu Wanning triumphantly, "You want to sign us up to go to the countryside? That's not going to work. Do you think you can run the educated youth affairs? You can't even take care of yourself. I advise you to back down. If you're willing to let Pei Zhenghong reinstate his subsidy, maybe we can help you struggle a bit. Once you go to the Northwest, you'll never see your great-uncle's family again."
“Fu Wanning, you're all alone. How can you fight us? You can't win. I'll say it again: if you want to know where your great-grandfather is, then you…”
