“You still have your parents, Jiang Huai, and… me.”
"In the first twenty-odd years of your life, without the Sheng family, would you regret it?"
Qin Wan frowned slightly, thought about it seriously, and then shook her head.
"without."
No regrets.
Although Pei's parents were unreliable, they never mistreated her, especially her older brother Pei Muzhi, who was extremely kind to the original owner.
Being a father, a mother, and a brother all at the same time...
Pei's parents are workaholics. Besides wanting a daughter, they adopted Qin Wan out of pity for her. In addition, the little girl is very pretty and lovable, making people feel happy just looking at her.
In addition, the Pei family was not short of money, so Pei's parents clapped their hands and decided to adopt Qin Wan immediately.
The couple brought the girl home, but they were too busy with their careers to take care of her.
Therefore, this heavy burden could only fall on Pei Muzhi, the older brother.
Later, the Jianghuai region appeared...
Jiang Huai was also an abandoned baby, found by Pei's parents on their way home.
At that time, Jiang Huai was a baby still in swaddling clothes, with rosy cheeks. He smiled happily when he saw Mr. and Mrs. Pei appear.
Pei's parents saw how well-behaved he was...
Out of a moment of weakness, she took a child home.
Anyway... the Pei family isn't short of money.
To alleviate Pei Muzhi's stress and distress, Pei's parents finally acted reliably this time, doubling the number of servants in the Pei household.
From housekeepers and nannies to family doctors, and so on...
But the couple were always busy with their careers, and Pei Muzhi, a mere teenager, was no match for these scheming servants.
After discovering that Jiang Huai had been abused by his nanny, Pei Muzhi simply fired all the servants in the house.
We arrange for a cleaning lady to come and clean our house at set times every day.
As for Qin Wan and Jiang Huai, those two little brats, he took care of them personally.
"Are you unhappy at the Pei family's house?" Pei Muzhi asked again.
This time, Qin Wan didn't even need to think; she simply shook her head.
"No."
"I really like my brother and Jiang Huai."
To maintain the solemn atmosphere, Qin Wan unusually refrained from calling him "mistress" or "third party," and instead addressed Jiang Huai by his full name.
"Are you happy now?" Pei Muzhi asked again.
Qin Wan nodded obediently.
"If we really make you leave the Pei family and return to the Sheng family, and you can never come back to see us again, would you be willing?"
Qin Wan shook her head, her decision was decisive and straightforward.
"If that's the case, why are you still upset about the Sheng family's thoughts and actions?"
Why torture yourself because of their behavior?
Qin Wan frowned slightly, feigning a troubled expression as if she were deep in thought.
After a long while, under Pei Muzhi's satisfied gaze, Qin Wan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
She glanced at Pei Muzhi apologetically and with a hint of shyness, "Brother, I'm sorry..."
Seeing that her emotions had returned to normal, Pei Muzhi's tightly clenched heart relaxed.
He reached out and gently patted her head, his voice full of affection, "Sweetie, stop overthinking."
"Tell your brother if you're in a bad mood."
“If any member of the Sheng family makes you unhappy, tell your brother.”
"Brother will avenge you."
Qin Wan nodded obediently.
But in just a second, a faint look of distress appeared on her face.
"Brother, the Sheng family is a century-old family, after all. Going against the Sheng family would be detrimental to the Pei family..."
Upon hearing this, Pei Muzhi raised an eyebrow and said with an arrogant and confident expression, "With my brother here, what is the mere Sheng family?"
Qin Wan looked at him with feigned confusion.
Pei Muzhi gave her a mysterious smile, "Wanwan, although the Pei family's foundation is not as deep as the Sheng family's."
“But my parents’ hard work over the years has not been in vain, unlike the Sheng family which has been living off their past achievements.”
"As things stand, the Pei family's development momentum and prospects are much better than the Sheng family's."
"and……"
"Although the business world is like a battlefield, sometimes things don't have to be resolved in a life-or-death situation."
Upon hearing this, the confusion in Qin Wan's eyes deepened.
Seeing this, Pei Muzhi stood up and patted her shoulder, "Get ready, I'll take you out to dinner to meet my friends later."
Meeting friends?
Two hours later.
The Medicinal Cuisine Residence is located within the Imperial Cuisine Pavilion.
The familiar features of the two men in the private room satisfied Qin Wan's curiosity...
Hmm?
People from the Sheng family?
Before the system could answer her question, the handsome young man in the suit in front of her stood up and walked towards her with a gentle smile.
"You must be Wanwan, right?"
"Let me introduce myself, I am your cousin Sheng Nan."
Qin Wan looked uneasily at Pei Muzhi beside her.
Their eyes met, and Pei Muzhi smiled gently at her.
Seeing this, Qin Wan understood. The next second, she obediently reached out and shook hands with Sheng Nan, then quickly let go.
Seeing Qin Wan and Pei Muzhi's interaction, Sheng Nan smiled without saying a word and took the initiative to pull out chairs to invite Pei Muzhi and Qin Wan to sit down.
"Wanwan, sit down quickly."
"Although my sister and I haven't seen each other for over twenty years, the blood ties between us are undeniable. I feel an overwhelming sense of warmth and closeness whenever I see my cousin..."
As he spoke, Sheng Nan considerately poured Qin Wan a glass of juice and handed it to her.
Qin Wan subconsciously looked at Pei Muzhi again, and after receiving a wink from him, she reached out and took it.
"My cousin would like to offer a toast to my sister Wanwan. I wonder if she would do me the honor?"
Sheng Nan raised his glass of red wine and handed it to Qin Wan, gazing at her with a smile.
This time, Qin Wan didn't look at Pei Muzhi again, but clinked her cup with his.
Qin Wan took a small sip, while Sheng Nan decisively downed his drink in one gulp.
After they sat down, Sheng Nan eagerly served Qin Wan food, soup, rice, and so on...
The warmth made Qin Wan's uneasy gaze frequently drift towards Pei Muzhi.
After taking in her adorable, bewildered reaction, Pei Muzhi lowered his eyes to hide the faint smile in them, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
Silly.
cute.
Pei Muzhi's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 72.
After a pleasant dinner, the three people in the private room all turned their gazes to Qin Wan...
Of the three gazes, Sheng Nan's was the most fervent.
As for the other one, he is Sheng Nan's father, who is also Sheng's father's younger brother. In terms of blood relations, he is the original owner's Uncle Qin.
The man, maintaining his status as an elder, looked at Qin Wan with kind and gentle eyes, but unlike Sheng Nan, he was not willing to lower himself to please Qin Wan.
"How is it?" Pei Muzhi suddenly asked.
Qin Wan looked at him blankly, "Brother?"
Seeing Qin Wan's puzzled look, Sheng Nan considerately explained it to her.
"Wanwan, is Actor Pei asking if you enjoyed the meal?"
"It's...not bad." Qin Wan nodded, glanced at Sheng Nan, and then her uneasy gaze returned to Pei Muzhi.
Seeing this, Pei Muzhi gave her a reassuring smile, his cool gaze sweeping over Sheng Nan beside him.
Seeing this, a faint trace of distress and helplessness flashed across Sheng Nan's eyes...
His cousin really has won over Actor Pei's heart...
This level of pampering is even greater than that of a biological younger sister.
