Chapter 66 It's either her or me.
The person who arrived was Pei's mother, who had rushed over from the hospital. Pei Jiuyan had kept this matter a secret, but the documents deliberately leaked it. Pei's mother 'accidentally' heard from several nurses that Yun Zhaozhao was going to auction off her son's belongings, so she couldn't wait any longer and came in her wheelchair.
“I disagree. These are all my son’s things. Who would dare to sell them?”
Upon seeing his mother appear, Pei Jiuyan knew things were about to go wrong. He quickly stood up to stop her, saying, "Mom, let's go back and talk about this."
"What are you talking about? You only know how to lie to me. Are you going to lose all the hard-earned business you built for a woman like this? Yun Zhaozhao is a scourge, a vixen. She's completely bewitched you."
Madam Pei no longer cared about losing her composure, or rather, from that day on, she no longer cared about such things.
Yun Zhaozhao originally didn't want to pay attention to Madam Pei, but these words made her uncomfortable.
"If I were a fox spirit, I would be the first to steal your soul, so you wouldn't be shouting here like a madman."
"Pfft."
Someone couldn't help but laugh. Madam Pei's face turned pale; she hadn't expected Yun Zhaozhao to say such things to her in front of so many people.
In the past, Yun Zhaozhao had been too accommodating to her, to the point that she always felt that Yun Zhaozhao could hit her and not fight back or talk back.
So what if she's a princess in Beijing's elite circles? If I make her unhappy, she has no choice but to put up with it.
"you?"
Madam Pei pointed at Yun Zhaozhao, her fingers trembling.
"Don't faint, or I won't be able to take responsibility."
"By the way, the 'one cry, two tantrums, three threats of suicide' tactic is no longer popular. Let's go back and come up with a different script."
Yun Zhaozhao said sarcastically.
“Zhaozhao…”
Pei Jiuyan cast a pleading look at Yun Zhaozhao, but Yun Zhaozhao showed no mercy: "It was your mother who wanted to come here and get scolded. She wanted to be abused, so who can she blame? She's so old, she should have some self-respect. Not everyone will coax you."
Seeing that she was going too far, Pei Jiuyan frowned deeply, but Yun Zhaozhao showed no remorse whatsoever.
Compared to what Pei's mother did, what she did was nothing.
Once, in front of a group of ladies, Pei's mother bluntly said that she knew nothing but eating and sleeping, and couldn't even cook a meal. She said that Pei Jiuyan must have been incredibly unlucky to marry her.
She also said, "Now that you've married into our Pei family, you need to know the rules. I don't care how you behave at home, but here no one will pamper you or coax you."
She would never embarrass herself when Pei Jiuyan was around, but as soon as Pei Jiuyan was away, she would use all sorts of sarcastic and belittling words.
In the past, she was willing to endure it for Pei Jiuyan's sake, even if it meant visiting the Pei family less often, rather than having a conflict with Pei's mother. Now, she simply stopped enduring it.
Yun Zhaozhao's words were a bit much, and a lady who was on good terms with Madam Pei couldn't help but say, "Miss Yun, she is, after all, an elder, you..."
"Elders should act like elders; being old doesn't automatically make you an elder."
"Also, Madam Wang, don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. Otherwise, you'll have to endure it if she calls you a vixen."
Yun Zhaozhao has always been quick-witted. In the past, she was just careful not to cause trouble for Pei Jiuyan. She thought that Pei Jiuyan was starting a business and was going through a difficult time, so she couldn't offend so many people.
Who knew that these people all thought she was easy to bully.
Now, she doesn't care anymore; nothing in the world can compare to her mother's happiness.
“Pei Jiuyan, if you don’t get your mother away, don’t blame me for saying even harsher things.”
For the first time today, Yun Zhaozhao looked at Pei Jiuyan with eyes full of seriousness.
Pei Jiuyan pursed her lips and looked at Madam Pei, saying, "Mom, let's go back first."
Madam Pei was furious and couldn't help but slap Pei Jiuyan: "Are you just going to stand by and watch her bully your mother?"
The slap stunned everyone. These were all respectable people who had come to join in the fun, but they never expected to see this.
At that moment, many people quietly left. They all knew Pei Jiuyan's temper, and if they continued to watch this spectacle, they would be in trouble.
Originally there were more than a hundred people, but in an instant only Yun Zhaozhao, Pei Jiuyan and Madam Pei remained. Even Chen Boxu was taken away by Xing Shangye.
Yun Zhaozhao was furious that only half of the items had been sold, and the most expensive ones hadn't even been sold yet.
Some people are indeed only good at stirring up trouble, and Madam Pei is the thickest one.
She glanced at Pei Jiuyan, who hadn't spoken since being slapped by Madam Pei, and said coldly, "You'll pay for today's expenses. I'm too lazy to auction off the rest; you can raise the money yourself and buy them back."
"What are you talking about? That originally belonged to Jiuyan."
“But they are mine now, given to me by your son.”
Yun Zhaozhao looked at Madam Pei with disgust: "Stop making trouble. Let's just let this go. If you and your son want to perform, go back and do it yourselves. But if you ruined my plans, you'll have to compensate me."
After Yun Zhaozhao finished speaking, she called Wen Jinyan and asked him to calculate how much stuff they still had and its value. Then she started contacting a lawyer.
Pei Jiuyan showed no reaction to Yun Zhaozhao's actions.
Pei's mother disagreed and was about to speak when Pei Jiuyan said, "Mom, these things don't belong to the Pei family. They are what I've earned over the years. I have the right to decide who gets them."
"What do you mean?"
Madam Pei was emotionally unstable, and upon hearing this, she completely lost her temper. She frantically pounded on Pei Jiuyan, yelling, "Are you crazy? She got pregnant by someone else, why are you still giving her money?"
"What did you see in this slut? I shouldn't have agreed to her in the first place. She's a jinx, a jinx."
"No, you can't associate with her. She's an enemy of our family."
"Yes, dump her hard and let her taste the bitterness of losing her family."
"..."
Madam Pei's words became increasingly incoherent, and even Yun Zhaozhao noticed that something was wrong with her.
Although Madam Pei was quite annoying in the past, she always considered herself a lady of high society and always maintained a haughty demeanor. Her words were sometimes harsh, but she would never use very sharp language.
She is completely unrecognizable from her previous self now, and looks somewhat deranged.
Only Pei Jiuyan knew that Madam Pei was ill, so he quickly hugged her gently and comforted her, "Mom, it's okay, nothing happened, everything is fine."
Madam Pei was still very agitated, and it took her a long time to calm down before she fell asleep leaning against Pei Jiuyan.
After she fell asleep, Pei Jiuyan carefully moved her to lean against the back of the wheelchair.
He subconsciously looked at Yun Zhaozhao, who moved her lips, but finally only said one sentence:
“Pei Jiuyan, you’ve seen it too. If your mother and I are together, it’s either her or me who will die.”
So, stop making a fuss.
