"Do you know why I don't want the Pei family? Zhao Baiping fooled you all with just a few words. If you want to confront them, you should at least find out beforehand. When the Pei family learned about Chief Fu's identity and that Du Lixue had fallen for him, they immediately abandoned us, aunt and niece, and tried to matchmake Chief Fu and Du Lixue, without mentioning the twenty years of family ties or the relationship between Pei Zexing and his wife. They even dragged my mother to get a divorce. If my mother hadn't had leverage over the Pei family, my aunt and niece would have been kicked out of the Pei family long ago."
"Originally, Du Lixue insisted on breaking off the engagement with me. If it weren't for the pressure from the young master of the Gu family, Du Lixue wouldn't have been able to marry me. Now, the young master of the Gu family and the Du family are very dissatisfied with the Pei family, especially the Du family, who hate the Pei family to the bone. They have already stated at today's wedding banquet that they refuse the Pei family's attempt to climb the social ladder. Are you grandparents who are so stupid as to push your own grandson into the fire pit?"
“It’s obvious that the Pei family can’t afford to associate with Chief Fu, so they chose me as a second choice, hoping to form a marriage alliance with the Du family through me. However, the Du family doesn’t acknowledge me at all. They only recognize me as their son-in-law, and I have nothing to do with the Pei family. My condition for marrying Du Lixue is that I must sever ties with the Pei family.”
"Do you know what the Pei family did wrong? They offended the Gu family, the head of the five great families. Pei Danfeng's husband's family was raided and demoted by the special department. The Pei family is even being watched by the special department. If you want to die, I'll grant your wish, but don't drag me down with you."
The Cui couple turned pale and ashen, gradually realizing that they had almost been scammed.
What pained them most was that their own grandson showed no mercy and publicly insulted them as old men, showing absolutely no awareness of contributing to the Cui family.
"You, you, you...you unfilial descendant! What sins has my Cui family committed?"
"Cui Hailu, how did you raise your child? You've raised your own nephew to be heartless and estranged from the Cui family. Just because he's not your own child, does that mean you can treat him like this? Look at the stupid things you've done! You're a worthless good-for-nothing who's ruined the Cui family. I really want to strangle you."
Cui Hailu's face was filled with grievance. Over the years, she had devoted everything to raising her nephew without reservation, sometimes even neglecting her own son, Pei Yaozu, which caused a rift between them. In addition, Zhao Baiping had been stirring up trouble between Yaozu and his mother, making Yaozu dislike his biological mother.
Old Mrs. Fu's face was full of meanness, and she curled her lips in a sarcastic smile. "Oh, your words are like farts. Doesn't your Cui family want to teach your children and grandchildren to be people who value loyalty and righteousness, and that the kindness of parents is greater than heaven? The Pei family has at least fed, drunk and dressed him well. Although the Pei family wanted to abandon the aunt and nephew before, they didn't succeed, did they? Your Cui family's grandson has enjoyed twenty years of good fortune. It's time to repay them. You yourselves said that the Cui family is not an ungrateful wretch."
The Cui couple were immediately put in an awkward position. Their condition for Guangzong to become the young master of the Pei family was that the Pei family must be a prominent and wealthy family, not a powerless and impoverished one. After hearing that the Pei family might be raided at any time, how could they possibly continue to arrange the marriage?
"Screw your gratitude! The Pei family loves to cause trouble; don't even think about dragging our Cui family into it. I don't acknowledge any in-law relationship between us. Zhao Baiping, you liar, you almost dragged my Cui family down this afternoon!"
“Cui Hailu, I order you to divorce Pei Zexing immediately. Yaozu has been spoiled. Our Cui family doesn’t want him anymore. Your parents will find you a better husband in the future, a hundred times better than the fickle Pei Zexing.”
“Our Cui family is related to the Du family by marriage, while the Pei family is poor and destitute, so get out of here.”
"Guangzong, your grandparents have already taken care of the Pei family for you. Now, can you acknowledge your grandparents?" After saying that, she eagerly awaited Pei Guangzong's response.
Their change of heart was faster than turning the pages of a book; one moment they were affectionately calling each other in-laws, and the next they were enemies.
They didn't even notice the murderous rage on the faces of the Pei family members...
