The words of Jiang Muyao and his wife were like a bucket of cold water poured on Le Jiayue's head.
Her heart tightened and she stopped involuntarily.
Pei Yichen didn't think there was anything wrong. He replied nonchalantly:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. I'm not interested in the Pei family's property. I just want to be with Jiayue and live our little life."
"Brother, just stop if you want! I'm sure I can make Jiayue happy with my own abilities."
When Le Jiayue heard this, she became furious.
She didn't want to live a hard life anymore! Who would wait for him to work hard?
What's the point of having a pretty face? It can't be eaten! She finally climbed up the big tree of Pei Yichen, how could she give up so easily?
So, she immediately put on a weak expression, gently pulled Pei Yichen's sleeve, and said in a soft and aggrieved voice:
"Yi Chen, don't be like this... It's not worth it to quarrel with your family because of me."
"Let's go back and have a good talk with them, okay?"
Pei Yichen looked down at Le Jiayue, his heart full of heartache:
"Jiayue, you are too kind. They treated you like that, yet you still care about them..."
Le Jiayue bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Yi Chen, they are your family."
"I don't want you to be unhappy because of me. Let's go back and talk it over, okay?"
Pei Yichen was moved by her tears, his heart softened, and he nodded:
"Okay, let's go back and talk."
The Pei family looked at this scene with mixed feelings.
Mother Pei couldn't help but whisper:
"This woman...isn't a pushover! Her expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book."
Pei Haoyu murmured:
"It's almost overflowing with green tea flavor...and my second brother can't even see it!"
Jiang Muyao's lips curled up slightly:
"Miss Le, you're not leaving? The second brother said he wanted to build a career for you..."
Le Jiayue pretended not to hear and continued to lean in Pei Yichen's arms, looking weak and helpless.
Pei Yichen pulled Le Jiayue back to the living room and compromised:
"Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, let's have a good talk."
"Jiayue is a good girl, I hope you can accept her."
Mother Pei opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Jiang Muyao gave her a reassuring look.
"Miss Le, since you want to talk, let's have a good talk!"
"Auntie Wang, let's prepare dinner..." Jiang Muyao turned and instructed Auntie Wang beside her.
Several people sat down at the Pei family's dining table, each with their own thoughts.
Le Jiayue thought to herself: As long as I can live a rich and prosperous life, it doesn’t matter if I tolerate them.
Wait until I marry into your family, and then I will slowly deal with them!
Aunt Wang brought a bowl of soup, carefully placed it in front of Pei Yichen, and said with a smile:
"Second Young Master, this is the soup that Madam specially ordered to be made for you. It's for your health."
Seeing this, Mother Pei politely asked Le Jiayue:
"Miss Le, would you like to have a bowl too?"
When Le Jiayue heard that there was something delicious to drink, her eyes suddenly lit up.
She had never eaten anything good since she was a child, but today's table full of Australian lobster, bird's nest, sea cucumber and abalone made her eat them with relish.
Now, when he heard there was a special soup, he nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, thank you, Auntie!"
Her agreement made Pei's mother a little embarrassed.
After all, this soup was added with some ingredients, and Jiang Muyao had specially ordered it to be prepared for Pei Yichen.
Mother Pei was thinking about how to refuse, but Jiang Muyao spoke lightly:
"Miss Le, this soup is specially for men. It's not good for women to drink it."
Le Jiayue was stunned for a moment. Although she was a little dissatisfied, she didn't want to cause trouble anymore. It was better to settle the marriage first.
I could only smile awkwardly: "Oh, is that so? Then I won't drink it."
Pei Yichen didn't think much about it, picked up the bowl and took a big sip, and praised:
"Mom, this soup is delicious!"
"As long as you like it..."
Not long after, Pei Yichen's expression suddenly changed.
He held his stomach, frowned, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead:
"Ouch, my stomach hurts..."
After he said that, he stood up hurriedly and ran to the toilet.
Seeing Pei Yichen leave, Le Jiayue suddenly felt uneasy and asked quickly:
"Yichen, are you okay?"
Pei Yichen waved his hand without even turning his head:
"Nothing, I'm going to the bathroom..."
Le Jiayue looked at Pei Yichen's back and felt something was wrong.
She turned to look at the Pei family and found that they all looked normal.
Mother Pei smiled and said to her:
"Miss Le, don't worry, Yichen might have an upset stomach, he'll be fine in a while."
Le Jiayue forced a smile, her heart beginning to beat nervously.
What the heck is this Pei family up to? However, as long as they don't let Pei Yichen leave her for too long...
Then Pei Yichen can't escape! Her rich life will not run away!
Jiang Muyao smiled meaningfully: "Ms. Le, don't be anxious. Wait until Yichen comes back and we can talk about it."
Le Jiayue felt uneasy when she heard Jiang Muyao's smile. She lowered her head subconsciously and didn't dare to speak anymore.
As time passed, she became more and more panicked, feeling that something was out of her control.
But he keeps talking...
Just then, Pei Yichen came back from the bathroom.
His stomach was empty, his face was pale, and he felt a little weak, but his stomach was growling with hunger, so he was ready to go back to the dining table to have a good meal to replenish his appetite.
He walked to the dining table and suddenly saw a strange woman sitting at the table. She was eating in a rough manner and stuffing food into her mouth in big mouthfuls.
