Cui Hailu was happy to see Fu Jingchen being scolded, "That's right, why should our Pei family's assets be divided up as Gu Wanwan's dowry?"
Fu Wanning glanced at him with disdain, "You talk as if your Pei family has a family fortune to inherit. Back then, Pei Tai's biological father proposed to adopt my grandfather because he saw that my grandfather was very wealthy and wanted him to help the Pei family. How did my grandfather's family fortune become your Pei family's? You're shameless. Now the Pei family is penniless. We live in my house for free. The whole family is just relying on Pei Tai and his son and Zhao Baiping's meager salary."
"You need bodyguards, you need nannies, and you need living expenses and daily costs. You spend it all every month. How can you people consider my grandfather's family property to be part of the Pei family? In your eyes, you've always been very clear about the distinction, constantly saying that my grandfather is the Pei family's adopted son. It's ridiculous. Please, Mrs. Fu, do your research before you say such things. The Pei family is not rich. The truly wealthy family is my grandfather's family. They don't have a good relationship with the Pei family. Please don't compare them. The Pei family is not worthy of comparison!"
"If you're so bold, go up to my uncle and say that your family's wealth was given to you by the Pei family. See if he even pays you any attention. Even if you let the neighbors judge, they'll just laugh at the Pei family for being delusional."
Zhao Baiping was publicly humiliated and lost face. She wanted to refute the brat, but what she said made perfect sense.
Pei Tai didn't speak, his attitude clearly showing dissatisfaction. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the name Gu Wanwan sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. He couldn't figure it out and didn't pay it any mind. The world is so big, there are plenty of people with the same name.
It's not like anyone with the surname Gu can be associated with the Gu family, the top of the five great families in Beijing, right?
These days, there are plenty of people who want to claim kinship with the Gu family. He encountered several people with the surnames Gu and Chen who insisted that they were relatives of the two families.
The fact that Fu Jingchen recognized the Pei family's adopted son as his relative, and that Gu Wanwan was the granddaughter of a bad element, were enough to make the Pei family wary.
Zhao Baiping advocated not recognizing Fu Jingchen, while Pei Tai and Pei Zexing had just been thinking of arranging a more advantageous marriage for Fu Jingchen.
Now the decision has been changed again. Fu Jingchen wants to be recognized by the Pei family. Breaking up is not enough. He must demand that Gu Wanwan return the dowry of the Pei family's adopted son and sever ties with Pei Shengtao.
Fu Wanning rolled her eyes. "What's wrong with recognizing my great-uncle's family? It's better than being disliked and humiliated by the Pei family. Smart people know how to choose. Although your Pei family is related to the lower five families through marriage, it's just a collateral branch. It's not a top-ranking noble family. My great-uncle's family is better than the Pei family. If it were me, I would definitely want to be my great-uncle's granddaughter."
"The Pei family is just too awful. You look down on my brother, but my brother looks down on your Pei family too!"
Zhao Baiping was furious. "Fu Wanning, you eat the Pei family's food, yet you insist on speaking up for the Pei family's adopted son. What are you up to?"
