Chapter 855 She Wants to Make Trouble Again
Mrs. Pei's face showed a little unnaturalness. She walked into the living room and acted as if nothing had happened, greeting people as usual.
"A Zheng, aren't you busy today? Why are you home so early?"
She was testing whether Pei Zheng had heard the complaints and curses just now.
Mrs. Pei stared at Pei Zheng, ignoring her youngest son's winking and making faces to convey the message.
Pei Zheng's face was gloomy as he asked, "Where did you go?"
"Let's go out for a walk. Tomorrow is the engagement party for your brother and the girl from the Feng family. I picked out two dresses for her and plan to send them over later." She was not wrong. She could barely pick out two dresses for Feng Nanxi from the pile of dresses.
The Feng family is not a wealthy family now, and it is not known whether the gold mine rumored outside is true or false.
Mrs. Pei still looked down on Feng Nanxi even when they were about to get engaged.
Pei Zheng saw that they were empty-handed and asked with suppressed anger, "Where are the dresses?"
Yes, the dress!
Mrs. Pei left in a hurry, without paying the bill or taking care of the follow-up matters. She could only look at her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao Yaru.
Zhao Yaru forced a smile and said, "It has been sent to the Feng family."
As soon as the meeting in the living room was over, she would deliver the things to the Feng family, so it wasn't a lie.
It should be in time.
But Pei Zheng obviously didn't believe it, "Really? Yaru, you went to order a dress with my mom, didn't you buy one for yourself?"
"My mother-in-law and I have a lot of dresses, so there's no need to waste money. We will also attend the event in a grand manner tomorrow and won't embarrass ourselves." Zhao Yaru knew that Pei Zheng was a man of his word and was very concerned about his reputation.
He hates idiots and people who embarrass him the most.
If I had known that such a big thing happened in the studio today, it would have been difficult to end.
Unexpectedly, Pei Zheng threw the bouquet of lavender on the table fiercely at her face. "Waste of money? Embarrassing? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Going to the studio and being toyed with by two little girls! Zhao Yaru, you're already in your thirties! How come you don't even have a brain? You indulge your mother's nonsense?"
He can't scold his own mother, so he can only educate his wife.
Zhao Yaru was dizzy from the bunch of lavender and also saw the falling card.
It was sent in the name of Qiao Xi.
He said he admired Mrs. Pei's lavish spending and hoped to see it again next time.
Pei Zheng was a little confused when he saw the card at first, but after sending someone to investigate the truth, he realized what shameful things his wife and mother had done that led them to waste more than 8 million yuan!
More than 8 million was indeed nothing to the Pei family in the past, but the Pei family had just paid the penalty for breach of contract for silk and that shameful business.
Pei Zheng was already annoyed and wanted to collect all the funds for the next investment, but these two people were fooled into buying more than a dozen dresses that other people's studios couldn't sell. How stupid!
So embarrassing!
It also made him even angrier!
No one in the family is in a clear mind, they are all holding us back!
Pei Zheng's face turned livid, and he showed no mercy: "When you rushed to cheat others, didn't you think that you would be cheated in return? Do you think the Huo family is so easy to offend?"
Mrs. Pei was a little afraid of her eldest son, so she said in a softer voice, "I just wanted to help you vent your anger. I know Shisanwan Wharf..."
"Don't mention Thirteen Bay Pier to me!"
Pei Zheng is now very angry when he thinks about the fire!
He wanted to kill Zhong Yi and Huo Xingzhou.
The fire at Shisanwan Wharf seemed like an accident, but smart people could see the clues.
The Pei family actually did not pursue the matter further and suffered a loss in silence.
Pei Gan stood aside and complained to himself, "Don't mention the Shisanwan Wharf. Tomorrow's engagement party will be held at the Shisanwan Wharf."
"Son, it's all because of those two girls being so cunning. I was deceived." Mrs. Pei was also afraid that Pei Zheng would be too angry, so she quickly gave in. "I didn't mean it. I will definitely be more careful in the future."
"Brother." Pei Gan, seizing the opportunity, pleaded for mercy. "Mom is doing this for your own good. She wants to deal with Qiao Xi for you. It's just over eight million, isn't it? After Feng Nanxi and I get married, will we still need that much money? Didn't you say her family has a gold mine?"
A gold mine means a lot of money.
The old man from the Feng family was not very capable, and he fawned over the Pei family whenever he saw them. That Feng Yunchuan was also a useless person, so wouldn't the marriage between the two families eventually lead to the Pei family swallowing up the family?
That gold mine will belong to the Pei family sooner or later.
"Brother, don't be angry!"
Pei Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow's engagement party, nothing can go wrong. And don't act on your own, understand?"
"knew!"
He looked at Zhao Yaru and asked, "Has the dress really been sent to the Feng family?"
Zhao Yaru was a little overwhelmed and could only tell the truth: "Not yet."
"Let Pei Gan go! Go now!"
"Okay, then I'll have someone pick out the two dresses, and I'll trouble my brother-in-law to deliver them."
Pei Gan had a bitter face, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.
Pei Zheng gave him another reminder: "Bring some gifts with you. If the marriage fails, you don't have to go home."
Pei Gan felt even more miserable.
Big brother cares too much about this marriage.
If Feng Nanxi marries into the family in the future, will there still be a place for him in this family?
Seeing that Pei Zheng's anger had subsided a little, Zhao Yaru said, "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite dishes and stew some health-promoting soup. You haven't been sleeping well lately, and I'm a little worried."
"No, I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
Pei Zheng had a social engagement tonight and just went home temporarily, but he didn't expect such a big incident to happen.
He didn't stay and left with his assistant.
Pei Gan asked about the dress's location and found an excuse to leave, but he couldn't stay at home any longer. His mother always had to find an outlet to vent when she lost face, and he couldn't get close to that.
Only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the living room.
Mrs. Pei threw her bag onto the sofa and then sat down.
Her face flushed and she cursed you as a little bitch!
Zhao Yaru knew that her mother-in-law was a bit of a double-faced person. She was dignified and elegant in public, but had a bad temper in private. This might be related to her long-term pampered life and high status.
But she had never called someone a little bitch before.
It was obvious that he was very angry this time.
The eight million is a small loss, but losing face is a big loss.
Her husband and her mother-in-law both care about face.
"Mother-in-law, please don't get yourself hurt by being angry."
When Zhao Yaru sees that she is in a good mood, she calls her mother-in-law, and when she is in a bad mood, she calls her mother-in-law. Otherwise, the mother-in-law will often mock her, saying that she has a biological mother but is rushing to recognize her mother.
Madam Pei looked at her and complained, "Why didn't you pay more attention? Seeing me, at my age, being deceived by two little girls? Didn't you realize their conspiracy?"
Zhao Yaru complained repeatedly and explained, "I didn't know they were so vicious."
Madam Pei snorted coldly, folded her arms, took a deep breath, and asked, "We're having our engagement party tomorrow. Are you sure both the Huo and Xie families will be there?"
