Pei Jun's face was dark, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Xu Zhe didn't dare to look up at all.
She always felt that Xu Zhengxi's grandfather could pick up a rifle and hold a bayonet to her at any moment, and the white knife would go in and the red knife would come out!
She was wrong, she was so wrong. She shouldn't have come along in the first place...
Xu Zhengxi stood up and took two steps to block Xu Zhe's path:
"Grandpa."
His tone was normal, but the warning in his eyes startled the old man, causing him to lose his balance and almost take a step back. Fortunately, Pei Xun next to him caught him in time.
Pei Jun was even angrier:
"Is this how you educate people? You teach them to be rude, yelling, and disrespectful to their elders, thinking they can get ahead anywhere?!"
He yelled at Xu Zhengxi.
Originally, he didn't want to embarrass his grandson too much in front of so many members of the Pei family, since he would have to rely on him to uphold the Pei family's reputation in the future.
But this little rascal! He's getting more and more capable!
Just as Xu Zhengxi was about to speak, he saw his maternal uncle, who was standing next to his maternal grandfather, shake his head at him.
Okay, he'll obediently take the scolding, so the old man won't have to take nitroglycerin pills too.
"Dad, Shuning is here, don't scare the child." Pei Xun brought Jiang Shuning out to persuade her.
Pei Jun finally relaxed: "Shu Ning is a good kid. He's a lucky man to be with him!"
He then invited Jiang Shuning to take her seat.
Jiang Shuning was indeed frightened by her grandfather. She hurriedly put on a smile and sat down with him.
The others followed suit and took their seats, following the same seating arrangement as in the reception room.
The two empty seats to Pei Jun's left were reserved for Pei Li and Xu Zhengxi.
Pei Li was unwell and did not come with the others.
Xu Zhengxi, on the other hand, pushed his wheelchair and came over in a very open and easy manner.
He positioned his wheelchair between his seat and Jiang Shuning's.
Then he sat down in his own seat.
Xu Zhe: "......"
Is Xu Zhengxi completely indifferent to her life or death? Why is he forcing her to sit at the table? Isn't he afraid his grandfather will point a rifle at her, turning a meal into a banquet?!
I'm so tired! She was wrong, she was really wrong...
The round table was large, and there was already a seat's width of space between the chairs.
Xu Zhe squeezed between two seats, but he still managed to sit down, though he separated Jiang Shuning and Xu Zhengxi.
Jiang Shuning truly hated this burden!
She had her mother investigate Xu Zhe, who turned out to be just a child adopted from an orphanage. He was just lucky that his birth chart matched that of Old Master Xu, so he was raised in the Xu family.
As for why Xu Zhengxi kept her by his side, the speculation is that he was helping his grandfather raise his child.
Although Xu Zheren had tea and snacks, Jiang Shuning, as Xu Zhengxi's future wife and future sister-in-law, still maintained a friendly and approachable attitude.
It's all for Xu Zhengxi's benefit!
Jiang Shuning moved her tableware towards Xu Zhe, then gestured for the maid to bring her another set.
After doing all that, Jiang Shuning glanced at Xu Zhengxi's expression. That incredibly handsome face did indeed look a bit softer than before.
Jiang Shuning smiled faintly; it seemed she had made the right decision. Even when being the sister-in-law of a scheming woman, one must be a little more cunning.
Pei Jun saw everything and, although displeased, temporarily suppressed his temper.
The whole family is here, don't make everyone lose their appetite!
The servants brought out dish after dish to the table, filling the large round table to the brim with rare and expensive foods.
Xu Zhe, however, had no appetite. Perhaps the shouting from his maternal grandfather, Xu Zhengxi, had disturbed his internal organs, and his stomach cramped unbearably after eating very little.
But she dared not utter a sound, enduring it all. She had to hold back until the banquet ended; she didn't want to attract attention anymore, she didn't want to die!
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhengxi turned to the side.
"It's nothing." Xu Zhe was furious. Just eat already, stop asking!
"You're sweating like this, and you're still okay?!" Xu Zhengxi said, wiping her forehead with a napkin.
Xu Zhe reached out to stop him, "Stop wiping! Just eat already! Finish eating and leave. Why make such a fuss?"
Seeing how concerned he was about the child, Jiang Shuning also turned to the side:
"Is something wrong? Should we call a doctor to take a look?"
She really is the kind of sister-in-law, gentle and considerate.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, hehe." Xu Zhe still tried to cover it up.
Xu Zhengxi's face darkened, and he stood up:
"Grandpa, Uncle, please enjoy your meal. Xu Zhe isn't feeling well, so I'm taking her to see a doctor."
After saying that, he pushed his wheelchair away from the seat.
Jiang Shuning also stood up: "Grandpa, Uncle, please enjoy your meal. I'll go with you."
After saying that, he quickly followed.
Pei Jun put down his chopsticks, his eyes no longer concealing their hostility.
Jiang Shuning was unaware of the relationship between Xu Zhengxi and Xu Zhe; he and Pei Xun had only recently learned about it from Pei Li.
This little brat doesn't shy away from people at all. If Jiang Shuning finds out...
After all, the marriage isn't settled yet, and the kid's attitude...
Why! ! !
Thinking about all this, Pei Jun felt a headache and a heartache...
