Chapter 868 He and She Have a Child
Zhao Zhenmei tilted her head back, looking at Pei Zheng with her affectionate peach blossom eyes, her voice soft as if mixed with honey, with a hint of sourness.
"Why does my brother-in-law feel that someone is ordering me around?"
"Don't play innocent. You drugged me, had sex with me, and then brought so many people to watch, embarrassing me. Didn't someone instigate this?"
Pei Zheng had never lost so much face in his life.
His self-esteem couldn't bear the thought that those people who looked down on him would talk about him behind his back and challenge his authority.
There was still a slap mark on Zhao Zhenmei's cheek left by Mrs. Pei, which made her usual charm even more pitiful.
"I was the one who gave you the drug, but I didn't order anyone else to watch. How could I do something that would hurt you?"
"Why did you drug me?"
"Why?"
Zhao Zhenmei looked at him stubbornly, "Because I was jealous that my sister could marry you. I was the one who fell in love with you first, but my family still decided to marry my sister to you. I was unwilling to do that on our wedding night... You know that child too."
He knows.
Anyone who knew that he had a son living outside would be moved.
Besides, Pei Zheng really needs an heir.
The news Zhao Zhenmei brought back shocked and angered him. He finally secretly sent someone abroad to conduct a paternity test, and the child she was raising was indeed his!
Even older than his two daughters!
It was on their wedding night that year that she deliberately entered his room.
"Brother-in-law, that man and I are divorced. We have had no feelings for each other for so many years. It was my parents who deliberately married me off far away for my sister. Now that the elders have passed away, no one can stop us. I don't want to compete with my sister for any position. I just want to stay in the country and see you occasionally."
Zhao Zhenmei is very beautiful, and her beauty is not superficial.
Even Pei Zheng felt a little touched after hearing these words.
It’s just that today’s incident was too big!
Some are difficult to end.
He didn't forgive Zhao Zhenmei so easily.
"After the engagement party, you will move out."
"Can……"
"We'll talk about the future later. We need to bring that child back to China as soon as possible..."
Pei Zheng wasn't really that desperate for a son; he was still old enough to have one. Even if Zhao Yaru couldn't have one, he could find someone else. His most pressing concern was the situation in the imperial capital; he wanted to be at the top!
Considering the issue of the Pei family's heir, it would save effort if someone appeared from outside.
If the child has no future, he can make other plans and have another child to raise himself.
For Pei Zheng, it is a double insurance.
Pei Zheng put on his clothes, turned around and looked at her and said, "Behave yourself in the capital, don't go out and attract attention."
"good."
Zhao Zhenmei felt relieved when she saw that he wasn't going to drive her away. She could slowly work hard and climb up to the position of his wife with the help of the child.
I don’t know who arranged to expose her and Pei Zheng’s “affair” tonight, but this is a good thing for her.
That ambiguous and decadent scene shattered the outside world's view of Pei Zheng and tore apart his disguise as a gentleman.
When she takes the throne in the future, the guests won't be too surprised.
Pei Zheng straightened his clothes and walked out of the room, only to see the crowded hallway. He felt a little angry that Zhao Yaru hadn't thought of evacuating the guests and making things less serious.
But he remained calm on the surface. He looked at the crowd and said, "I didn't handle my personal feelings well tonight and wasted everyone's time. Our Pei family will prepare a generous gift for everyone to express our apology."
That's all I can say, but some people don't buy it.
Zhong Yi leaned aside and said slowly, "I heard that Boss Pei was planning to introduce his divorced sister-in-law to my eldest brother to help them get together. And in the end, you accepted her personally, and in my eldest brother's lounge. This doesn't make sense..."
It doesn't make sense.
Anyone with a brain would know that there was something strange about this matter, but Pei Zheng still accepted it.
Zhong Yi poured basins of dirty water on them: "Unless you are playing games together as a group of three."
He finished speaking.
Many people's expressions changed.
Three people?
Zhong Lingxiao, Pei Zheng, and Zhao Zhenmei? Such extravagant play?
Zhong Lingxiao's private life was indeed chaotic, with many women involved, so he might have done something like this. Zhao Zhenmei was a well-known socialite in foreign high society, exuding charm everywhere, and she might also have done something like this.
As for Pei Zheng...
Their eyes swept over him again and again. Before today, they thought Pei Zheng was a gentleman.
It may not be the case after today.
So it really is like what Zhong Yi said, three people playing together.
"Tsk tsk, I never expected that. Do all the wealthy families play so freely?"
"I don't know whether I envy Zhao Zhenmei or these two..."
"Am I the only one who thinks there's a conspiracy here?"
The veins on Pei Zheng's forehead twitched. "Mr. Zhong, please be careful with your words! We can settle any grudges privately. Today is my brother's engagement party."
"Yeah, you still remember it's your brother's engagement party? I really can't wait a moment."
Phew!
Many people covered their mouths and laughed.
Pei Zheng was humiliated and had no choice but to end the engagement party early. He had already used his utmost patience to perfunctorily deal with the guests. He simply said he had family matters to attend to and that it was getting late, so everyone should leave.
Pei Zheng's face turned cold and he stopped being polite and ordered them to leave.
The arrogance of the second family was clearly revealed at this moment.
Some guests were embarrassed and left on the spot, secretly sighing that it was really boring. Dare to do it but not take responsibility. Since you have done it, why should you be afraid of others not knowing? Isn't it just finding a woman?
But Zhong Yi didn't move a step.
Pei Zheng's face was gloomy. "Young Master Zhong, aren't you leaving? Are you going to stay here overnight?"
Zhong Yiyun smiled calmly, "There are still some unfinished business. I don't think Mr. Huo and Mr. Xie want to leave either..."
Pei Zheng looked at them, furious: "What else?"
When the guests who were about to leave heard the noise, they couldn't help but stop and look back at the gossip.
Could it be that the Pei family’s drama isn’t over yet?
"Boss Pei really has no way of entertaining guests." Zhong Yi changed his posture and said loudly, "Last time, I almost lost my life at the Thirteen Bay Wharf, and this time at the engagement party, Boss Huo's sister almost had an accident. Of course, Boss Pei was still in the land of comfort at the time, so he might not have known."
Zhong Yi challenged him, "But I think this is very strange. Huo Sijiao fell into the sea, and the surveillance on the Pei family's deck just happened to be broken. Mr. Pei, isn't this a coincidence?"
Zhao Yaru's face turned pale and she quickly said, "Miss Huo fell into the water accidentally because she was drunk. Our Pei family is indeed responsible. I have sent someone to fix the surveillance..."
Zhong Yi looked at the pale Huo Sijiao and asked, "Did Miss Huo fall into the water accidentally?"
If Huo Sijiao didn't understand that these people wanted to seek justice for her, she would have lived in vain for the past twenty years.
Although she didn't know what they relied on, she knew what she should say at this moment.
"It wasn't an accident! Someone pushed me down!"
Her voice was crisp and her tone was angry.
As soon as the words fell, the guests were in an uproar.
