The Pei family listened but didn't take it to heart, thinking it was just Gu Wanwan making a last-ditch effort.
To make a grand finale appearance is clearly an act of shame.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Shen Chunman exclaimed with delight, "The Crown Prince is coming! Flying is so fast! My son and I are lucky to be able to fly once in our lives, thanks to the Crown Prince's family. I must go to the kitchen to prepare some of their favorite dishes."
She did it on purpose, deliberately trying to save face for Gu Wanwan in front of the Pei family.
Besides, she wasn't wrong; Gu Peichuan was indeed the genuine heir of Beijing.
The Crown Prince? Everyone was genuinely taken aback.
The Pei family scoffed disdainfully, "This isn't the feudal era, why call him Crown Prince?"
Can the son of an ordinary family be called a prince? That's utterly ridiculous. To be called a prince, one must at least be a direct descendant of one of the top five noble families.
The onlookers gleaned from Shen Chunman's words that Gu Wanwan's family was no ordinary person, suggesting there was more drama to come.
They knew Gu Wanwan was no ordinary person; her composure and calm demeanor suggested she must come from a prestigious family.
The insiders, Old Lady Fu and Fu Yuzhong, remained silent. They had no reason to undermine Shen Chunman, much less to help the Pei family. The Pei family had become increasingly indifferent to them lately, unlike their initial enthusiasm. They were probably aware that they had discovered the truth of what happened back then and were practically ready to confront them directly.
Perfect timing. They don't want any entanglement with the Pei family anyway. The Pei family is almost ruined. Hopefully, they can still smile later.
"Grandma Fu, how long do you and your son intend to stay in my house? Can't you see how much Shen Chunman hates you? I advise you not to stay here and get out of my sight. My parents have sent people to investigate the favors we received back then, and news will be coming soon. If you don't leave, do you expect me, the Pei family, to settle scores with you later?" Pei Danfeng went to great lengths to please Shen Chunman, Fu Jingchen's adoptive mother.
This is the Pei family's plan. Since Gu Wanwan and Fu Jingchen are unresponsive and uncontrollable, they will start with Shen Chunman. According to their observations, Fu Jingchen respects and is filial to his adoptive mother. He will definitely listen to her.
In other words, as long as Shen Chunman is won over, Fu Jingchen can be controlled through her. Even though the Pei family looks down on Shen Chunman's background, they will have to treat her with respect now.
Old Mrs. Fu spat, "My son and I have already paid the rent. You can't kick us out without the landlord's permission. Besides, this is the Fu family home, not your Pei family home. It's not a place for you to throw a tantrum. You're saying you're helping Shen Chunman, but you're just trying to use her. I advise you to give up. Shen Chunman used to be naive, but she's shrewd now. She wouldn't do anything to betray Fu Jingchen."
"If you think you can get Fu Jingchen to compromise through Shen Chunman, then you are wrong."
Fu Yuzhong was very experienced in answering this question: "Don't be fooled by his current respect for Shen Chunman. Once Shen Chunman crosses Fu Jingchen's bottom line, Fu Jingchen will turn against even his closest relatives. In Fu Jingchen's heart, his parents and family are not as important as Gu Wanwan. He's just a madman!"
Pei Tai's expression was gloomy, clearly not believing what Old Madam Fu and her son said.
