When the Cui couple heard that Pei Guangzong had severed ties with the Pei family, they were immediately displeased. The Cui family had gone through so much trouble to switch the babies, all so that the Cui family could rise to prominence and become one of the most prominent families in the capital.
This wish has already been half fulfilled, but at this crucial moment, he is withdrawing. Does Guangzong want to ruin the future of the Cui family?
"I disagree. Without the Cui family's permission, neither Hailu nor Guangzong can sever their ties. As for Antong, that's one thing, but she's just a money-losing daughter who's married off." Old Madam Cui's words were sharp and sarcastic, showing a clear distinction. Her daughter would have to stay with the Pei family to continue making money, while Guangzong would inherit the Pei family, gain access to their connections and power, and then change the Pei family name to the Cui family. The fate of the Pei family members was not a concern for the Cui family. Since they already had the entire Pei family, there was no need to support a few more freeloaders.
This has been the Cui family's long-held plan.
Pei Antong gave a self-deprecating sneer. She vowed that once she won over Sheng Qing and became the regimental commander's wife, she would make the arrogant Pei and Cui families look at her with new eyes and regret their actions.
Wan Jie and Chen Ge were happy to see the Pei and Cui families use each other for their own purposes, only to end up with both sides suffering losses and losing both power and wealth.
Then look at Pei Antong's determined look towards Sheng Qing, it's truly an eyesore.
Cui Hailu frowned, suddenly feeling that her parents were being unreasonable. The Pei family was now powerless and had offended important figures, so they had no value to be used anymore. Guangzong was constantly in the family, so why should they be kept around to be a burden to the Pei family?
His parents had just returned and were completely unaware of the situation. They were so foolish that they didn't even realize they had been sold out by the Pei family. "Mom and Dad, Guangzong has grown up and gotten married. He has his own choices and ideals. As elders, we shouldn't interfere. Besides, I'm still with the Pei family. Even though Guangzong has severed ties with his family, he's still my son. Isn't he a child of the Cui family? If he has a bright future, won't the Cui family benefit too?"
Pei Danfeng glanced at her disdainfully, thinking to herself that Cui Hailu and her niece were probably exhausted from dealing with such a senile old woman. But that suited her perfectly. Why should Pei Guangzong enjoy the Pei family's resources for twenty years, only to turn around and kick the Pei family away after climbing the social ladder?
Since that's the case, she didn't mind using the Cui family to annoy her aunt and nephew. "Pei Guangzong, did you hear that? Your own grandparents want you to continue being the young master of the Pei family. Do you dare to disobey and be unfilial? It seems you, this fake young master, are most destined to be with my Pei family. You'd better stay here and be my Pei family's slave, hahaha..."
Zhao Baiping grasped Old Lady Cui's hand and pressed on while the iron was hot, saying, "We are all thinking about the child's future. Even if the real young master comes to our door, the Pei family has never thought of giving up on Guangzong, right? We have lived together for twenty years, and the Pei family has always raised Guangzong as their own son. He has everything he needs, and they have never mistreated him in the slightest. You in-laws have all seen this."
“The Pei family really doesn’t look down on Guangzong. Blood ties aren’t that important. A biological child is not as good as an adopted child, and an adopted child is more filial than a biological one. In the end, it’s because you, as in-laws, can have children. They are all outstanding individuals, sensible, filial, and always repay kindness, unlike some ungrateful people.”
