Chapter 855 She Wants to Make Trouble Again
Mrs. Pei's face showed a little unnaturalness. She entered the living room and acted as if nothing had happened, greeting people as usual.
"Ah Zheng, aren't you busy today? Why are you going home so early?"
She was testing whether Pei Zheng heard the complaints and curses just now.
Mrs. Pei stared at Pei Zheng, ignoring the way her younger son was making faces to convey the message.
Pei Zheng asked gloomily, "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 will deliver them later." She was not wrong. She could barely pick out two dresses for Feng Nanxi from the pile.
The Feng family is not a wealthy family now, and no one knows whether the gold mine rumored outside is true or false.
Even when they were about to get engaged, Mrs. Pei still looked down on Feng Nanxi.
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 settling 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 Feng's house, so it wasn't a lie.
It should be in time.
But Pei Zheng obviously didn't believe it, "Really? Yaru, you and my mom went to order a dress, 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 any more money. We will also attend the wedding 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 something as serious as this had happened in the studio today, it would have been a disaster.
Pei Zheng threw the bunch of lavender on the table at her face. "Waste of money? Embarrassment? Aren't you embarrassed enough? You went to the studio and were fooled around by two little girls! Zhao Yaru, you are already over 30 years old! How come you don't even have a brain? You tolerate your mother's nonsense?"
He can't scold his own mother, so he can only educate his wife.
Zhao Yaru was dizzy from the handful of lavender and turned around, and also saw the falling card.
It was sent in the name of Qiao Xi.
He said that he admired Mrs. Pei's extravagance in spending money lavishly and hoped to see it again next time.
Pei Zheng was a little confused when he first saw the card, but he sent someone to find out the truth and realized what shameful things his wife and mother had done to be fooled into wasting 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 to Cansi, and there was still that shameful business.
Pei Zheng was already angry and wanted to collect all the funds for his 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 has a clear mind, they are all dragging their feet!
Pei Zheng's face was livid and he said mercilessly: "When you were rushing to cheat others, didn't you think that you would be tricked 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 give you some vent. I know the Thirteen Bays Pier..."
"Don't mention the Thirteen Bays Pier to me!"
Pei Zheng is now very angry when he thinks about the fire!
He wished he could kill Zhong Yi and Huo Xingzhou.
The fire at the Thirteen Bay Pier seemed to be an accident, but smart people could see the clues.
The Pei family did not pursue the matter further and suffered a loss.
Pei Qian stood aside and complained to himself, why don’t you mention the Thirteen Bays Pier? The engagement party will be held at the Thirteen Bays Pier tomorrow.
"Son, it's all because of those two girls who were too 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 be more careful in the future."
"Brother." Pei Qian saw the right moment to help plead, "Mom is doing this for your own good. She wants to deal with Qiao Xi for you. Isn't it just over 8 million? When Feng Nanxi and I get married, will we still need this much money? Didn't you say her family has a gold mine?"
Gold mines mean a lot of money.
The old man of the Feng family has no ability. He fawns over the Pei family whenever he sees them. That Feng Yunchuan is also an embroidered pillow. Will the marriage between the two families eventually be swallowed up by the Pei family?
That gold mine had long belonged to the Pei family.
"Brother, don't be angry!"
Pei Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Nothing can go wrong at tomorrow's engagement party. 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 Qian go! Go now!"
"Okay, I'll have someone pick out the two dresses, and I'll trouble my brother-in-law to deliver them."
Pei Qian had a bitter face, but he couldn't refuse, so he could only agree.
Pei Zheng gave her another reminder: "Bring some gifts with you. If the marriage fails, you don't have to go home."
Pei Qian felt even more bitter.
Big brother cares too much about this marriage.
If Feng Nanxi enters 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-preserving soup. You haven't been sleeping well recently, and I'm a little worried."
"No, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Pei Zheng had a social engagement tonight and just went home temporarily, but he didn't expect such a big disturbance to occur.
He didn't stay and left with his assistant.
Pei Qian found out the location of the dress and found an excuse to leave, but he couldn't stay at home any longer. His mother had to find an outlet to vent her humiliation, and he couldn't join her.
Only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were left in the living room.
Mrs. Pei threw her bag on the sofa and then sat down.
Her face turned red and she cursed at the little bitch!
Zhao Yaru knew that her mother-in-law was a bit hypocritical. She was dignified and elegant in public, but had a bad temper in private. This might be related to her long-term pampered and superior life.
But she had never called someone a bitch before.
It was obvious that he was very angry this time.
The eight million is a small amount; losing face is a big amount.
Her husband and her mother-in-law both care about face.
"Mother-in-law, please don't let your anger ruin your health."
When Zhao Yaru saw that she was in a good mood, she would call her "Mom", and if she was in a bad mood, she would call her "Grandma". Otherwise, the grandma would always mock her, saying that she was in a hurry to recognize her mother when she already had a biological mother.
Mrs. Pei looked at her and complained: "Why didn't you pay more attention and watch me, at my age, being bullied 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, "Tomorrow is the engagement party. Are you sure that the Huo family and the Xie family will come?"
