Zhao Baiping was furious. "You can barely take care of yourself, yet you still have time to worry about the house. Who knows, you might end up in trouble. It would be such a shame to be separated from your brother forever. Don't worry, considering that we've been family for twenty years, I'll have my son-in-law take good care of you."
She wouldn't let Fu Wanning die easily; she wanted Fu Wanning to suffer to death. When that wretched mother, Fu Qingning, returned and saw her children's miserable state, she would be filled with shame, indignation, and immense pain.
Everything she did was out of resentment towards Pei's adopted son, Fu Qingning, and Fu Yanzhou. That slut clearly had a boyfriend and was living and sleeping with Fu Yanzhou. Why did she have to provoke her precious son and steal his attention?
Back then, she couldn't resist her son's persistent pleas. Because of Fu Qingning, her son had become obsessed and almost severed his bond with her.
In the end, she chose to swallow her anger and accept Fu Qingning. Little did she know that Fu Qingning was unwilling to marry her son and register their marriage. She had always known that her son slept in a separate room from her. As Fu Qingning's belly grew bigger, she did have her doubts, but her son repeatedly assured her that the child was his.
What could she do but accept this explanation again?
After the child was born, he didn't look like her son at all, and at that moment, she was filled with joy.
Believing that her son was bewitched by Fu Qingning, she tacitly approved of Old Madam Fu's actions, sending Cui Hailu to Pei Zexing's side to cultivate their relationship. Cui Hailu lived up to her expectations, successfully diverting Fu Qingning's favor. As long as her son no longer doted on Fu Qingning, she would be happy. Cui Hailu was, after all, her benefactor's niece, sweet-talking and charming, deeply loved by her. Most importantly, she was someone she had personally trained and mentored, so she felt at ease leaving her son by his side!
Later, Cui Hailu gave birth to a grandson for the Pei family, which immediately secured her position in the family, while Fu Qingning became a passerby in the Pei family's deepest memories that they were unwilling to mention.
If it weren't for Fu Wanning causing trouble, and if Fu Jingchen hadn't insisted on acknowledging their kinship, the Pei family wouldn't have become the laughingstock of the entire capital.
Pei Guangzong added insult to injury with a sarcastic remark, "Grandma, you're wrong. The siblings will reunite in prison. They're twins, so they'll definitely die on the same day, month, and year. It's a pity that Fu Jingchen's scheming will ultimately fail to bring him back to his family."
Fu Wanning's expression remained unchanged, still displaying that fearless and calm demeanor. "You should really worry about yourself, you educated youth who's about to be sent to the countryside."
"Go to Xiangyang Village with your sister Pei Antong and have a love-hate relationship!"
A flash of hatred appeared in Pei Antong's eyes. She had thought about getting married to escape going to the countryside, but because her reputation was ruined in the capital, no one dared to marry her. Those who were willing to marry her were all ordinary people who were neither good nor bad, and they were not useful at all.
Unless she can marry a military officer and go with him to the army so she doesn't have to suffer in the countryside, but in this vast sea of people, how lucky is she to meet a military officer? Most of the military officers in Beijing come from aristocratic families and might not even look at her.
Back then, Zhao Baiping wanted to find a partner for her through a friend's introduction. At the time, she disliked the man because of his low rank, poor family, and only deputy company commander. He was also dark-skinned and rugged, not her type. On the other hand, the blind date seemed quite satisfied with her, had a good impression of her, treated her well, and was a man who knew how to take care of his wife. After they had eaten together a few times, she directly rejected him.
Looking back now, she wishes she could slap herself twice. If she had chosen to be the deputy company commander, she wouldn't have ended up in the countryside. Now, if she were to go back to find a blind date, she wonders if the other person's family would accept her.
But how will she know it won't work if she doesn't try? Maybe she could try going back to her ex; after all, she's so beautiful, there's no reason why no one would love her.
Pei Guangzong was furious and clenched his fist, wanting to hit Fu Wanning. "You worthless brat, I'll beat you to death!"
