"I made a foolish mistake by becoming a member of the Pei family. We must sever ties in the newspaper. The Pei family always looks down on me because I'm a peasant. Well then, I'll do as you wish and return to where I originally belonged. You should be happy." Taking advantage of the presence of the guests, Pei Guangzong loudly announced this matter, "Please bear witness, everyone knows that I, Pei Guangzong, am not a biological son of the Pei family. I hereby declare that I, Pei Guangzong, have absolutely no blood relation with the Pei family. If anything happens to the Pei family in the future, it's their own doing. Please don't involve me."
Seeing that the time was right, Battalion Commander Du stepped forward and said, "The man who married my daughter is Pei Guangzong. He is from the Cui family, not the Pei family. The Pei and Du families are not acquainted and have no marriage alliance. Please inform each other."
Pei Danfeng was furious. It seemed the Pei family had gained nothing but loss of reputation and wealth, becoming the laughingstock of the entire capital. "No! Pei Guangzong is different from Fu Jingchen. He carries the Pei family name. The Pei family nurtured him for twenty years; he should contribute to our family. Besides, Pei Guangzong's household registration is still with the Pei family; you can't just cut it off like that..."
Cui Hailu felt extremely relieved. The aunt and niece had finally turned the tables and dealt a blow to the Pei family, making them regret their actions. "My Guangzong is my Cui family's son. Your Pei family's household registration is nothing special. Anyway, my Guangzong will be going to the countryside in a few days and will transfer his household registration to reunite with his biological parents. He will then change his surname back to Cui. Can your Pei family stop that? Do you want to go against the organization and interfere with the educated youth's response to the call?"
Battalion Commander Du was only thinking about Pei Guangzong and Du Lixue getting to the countryside as soon as possible, so as not to get in the way of Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan. This would allow the Du family to breathe a little easier. "Pei family, calm down and don't make things awkward for both sides. If your Pei family wants to stay and have a drink at the wedding, then our Du family welcomes you. If you're here to cause trouble, please leave."
Pei Tai, Zhao Baiping, Pei Zexing, Pei Danfeng, and the others had never been so humiliated since being beaten by Wan Jie and Chen Ge last time. They were caught in a dilemma: whether to stay or not.
Just then, Grandma Cui and Grandpa Cui arrived late. They had just gone on a trip to visit relatives, and as soon as they received a call from their children complaining, they rushed back to Beijing. On their way there, they heard about the real and fake young master, their daughter's falling out with Grandma Fu, and so on. Although they didn't know the specifics, they had a general idea. As soon as they found out the location of the wedding banquet, they took a car to support their beloved grandson, Guangzong.
As soon as Old Mrs. Cui saw Old Mrs. Fu, she immediately glared at her angrily, "Cui Cuiyu, why don't you stay in the countryside? How dare you be here? You're so disobedient and ignorant. Do you still consider us your brother and sister-in-law? How could you betray the Cui family and bully Hailu and Guangzong? Are you trying to kill our Cui family?"
"You old hag, this is a gathering of powerful and wealthy people. How dare you, a peasant, attend my grandson's wedding banquet? You have a thick skin. You are not welcome in my house. Get out of here right now."
Grandma Fu had seen through the ugly face of the Cui family and was no longer as obedient to her brother and sister-in-law as she used to be. The reason she was at the wedding banquet was mainly to freeload off the feast. Heaven knows how stingy they had been lately. Prices in Beijing were too high, and they had to cut back on their spending. They hadn't eaten meat for quite some time. "I gave five cents as a gift, and they won't let me eat it? Even Battalion Commander Du was generous and didn't kick me out. Who gave you the right to yell at me? It's like you're the ones who hosted the wedding banquet. You call yourselves Pei Guangzong's grandparents, but Pei Guangzong probably wouldn't even acknowledge you."
After scolding Old Lady Fu, the couple wanted to start a war against the Pei family.
Cui Hailu was worried that her parents would ruin the happy occasion, so she quickly pulled them aside and tried to persuade them to calm down.
To avoid embarrassing their grandson, the Cui couple forced smiles until the wedding banquet ended, thinking they would settle scores with Old Madam Fu and the Pei family later, as well as the culprits Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan. If you ask them why they weren't afraid of Fu Jingchen...
Because in their eyes, Fu Jingchen is still the pitiful little guy who was tormented by the Fu family. He got lucky back then and became a lowly soldier.
