Cui Hailu raised her voice and emphasized again, "That's right, this marriage was arranged by the Pei family and the Du family. The two children like each other, have been dating for half a year, and are discussing marriage. Fu Jingchen should not try to steal someone else's wife or take advantage of her."
"What the Du family values in Guangzong is not his status. As long as the Du family is willing, Guangzong can be the Du family's son-in-law."
Fu Wanning recorded these words in their entirety as evidence for the future, so that Du Lixue wouldn't keep pestering her after seeing her brother's good looks, and also to thwart the Pei family's idea of controlling her brother's marriage.
“The Pei family and the Du family, you have all confessed that you will never arrange marriages. There are neighbors to testify to this. You cannot break your promise.”
The three members of the Pei family were speechless for a moment. These words... made it sound as if they couldn't wait to acknowledge Fu Jingchen back.
impossible!
A family as noble as the Pei family must never allow its reputation to be tarnished by commoners.
As the head of the family, Pei Tai forced himself to make a statement, "Of course, arranged marriages are feudal dregs."
Du Lixue raised her chin arrogantly and said in a disdainful tone, "I, Du Lixue, swear once again that as a daughter of the Du family, I respect personal choices. I will never bring shame to the Du family, nor will I use the power of the Du family to force anyone into marriage. Fu Wanning, you can rest assured that I will never take a fancy to your brother. Your brother is not a hot commodity. Why would I insist on marrying him? My Du family has a good background. Men who want to pursue me will line up from one end of the street to the other. I can choose whatever I want."
The onlookers spoke gently, saying to Fu Wanning, "Comrade Fu, we heard everything. If any of them go back on their word or insist on an arranged marriage, feel free to come and testify to us. My wife works for the neighborhood committee."
"And me, my son works at the police station!"
"..."
The words have been spoken, and there's no going back.
The farce only came to a temporary end after the Pei family closed their doors and drove away the onlookers.
Because of Du Lixue, Pei Guangzong was ultimately kept in the Pei family. However, Cui Hailu and the other two clearly felt that their treatment was no longer the same as before, and the Pei family members did not treat them well.
Old Mrs. Fu and Fu Yuzhong were treated as honored guests and stayed in the Pei family's guest room.
The Pei family now completely believes the switch, and they don't know how to handle the situation. Should they really acknowledge the real young master, Fu Jingchen?
Especially after hearing what Old Madam Fu said, the Pei family became even more hesitant.
Pei Tai frowned and asked, "Sister Cui, what's Fu Jingchen's character like?"
When Grandma Fu mentioned him, she immediately became furious. "He's no good at all. He's an ingrate, disloyal and unfilial. He even insulted his adoptive father and adoptive mother who raised him for many years and didn't support them. What do you think of his character? He even got a girlfriend from the educated youth era to anger the Fu family and made a mess of things. Although the Cui family deserved their punishment, Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan were also at fault."
"You have no idea how crazy they are. They don't care about filial piety or the kindness of their parents. They just want to take revenge on the Fu family and find your Pei family to claim kinship. He's capable of anything to claim kinship. He's from the countryside after all. He's been unruly and wild since childhood. He's uneducated and doesn't know any rules. Once he really goes back to the Pei family, who knows what he'll do to embarrass the Pei family."
"His girlfriend, Gu Wanwan, is just like him, a troublemaker. She's even offended He Wenyan's sister and Gu Yarou. Xu Luoxue once gave Fu Jingchen a chance, wanting him to be her girlfriend, but Fu Jingchen had poor judgment and refused, giving up a good marriage that was within his grasp. Now look what's happened, he's offended the Xu family too!"
