As she spoke, she took two steps forward to greet Peng Tian as he entered the house and called out towards the dining table, "Qingwen, Xinyi, Peng Tian is here."
Ye Beiping and Hou Baolin, who were standing at the door, exchanged a glance and watched Peng Tian enter the room. Their expressions instantly turned sour.
The whole house became eerie as Peng Tian stood in the living room.
Only Jiang Hai, Jiang He, and Tang Xiaolong were confused, but they could see that everyone's expressions were a bit off, and the smiles on their faces slowly disappeared, replaced by scrutiny of Peng Tian.
Min Yuehua's attitude made Ye Beiping very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything. He couldn't very well go against Peng Tian in front of everyone.
Min Yuehua, belatedly realizing the situation, also sensed that something was amiss.
She hadn't noticed when she called Su Qingwen and Su Xinyi earlier, but seeing that the two of them were sitting there motionless without getting up, it was only then that Min Yuehua's unusually slow reaction time came to her senses.
They only thought that Peng Tian's family had a good relationship with their family, without considering that Peng Tian had always liked Su Xinyi.
She could only smile awkwardly, and looking at the fruit in Peng Tian's hand, she asked him a few words of concern: "You child, you've already come all this way, why did you bring fruit?"
Actually, she had a little scheme in mind. Although she didn't know that Peng Tian liked Su Xinyi, she did know that Ye Beiping's family didn't seem to have a good attitude towards the people in the educated youth settlement.
Under these circumstances, it's no fool that Min Yuehua would still invite Peng Tian in.
Seeing that everyone didn't seem to welcome him very much, Peng Tian gave an awkward smile.
"It's alright, Auntie. I just heard that Ye Beiping moved to a new house, so I came here to congratulate him. I also stopped by to see Xinyi. I heard she was pregnant when we were at the educated youth settlement, and it's been several months now. I haven't been able to visit her since I came back to Hangzhou."
Upon hearing Su Xinyi's name, Ye Beiping's face instantly turned ashen.
It feels like a rival has come to steal his wife, and there's even a hint that Peng Tian isn't just here to steal his wife, but also his child.
After all, Su Xinyi is pregnant now, and Peng Tian doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up. Doesn't that mean he doesn't care about his wife's pregnancy at all?
Min Yuehua didn't pay attention to Ye Beiping's expression. She took the fruit from Peng Tian's hand and placed it on the coffee table. She then pulled his arm and walked towards the dining table.
"Since you're here, you're a guest. Let's sit down and have dinner together."
Of all the people at the table, Tao Qiuyan was the most confused. She had met Peng Tian a few times and had some acquaintance with him, but as an elder, she really didn't know much about the affairs of young people.
They were unaware of the complicated relationship between their son, daughter-in-law, and Peng Tian.
Judging from Min Yuehua's attitude, she smiled and got up to help Peng Tian get his bowl and chopsticks.
Seeing this, Hou Baolin, who was still standing by the door, anxiously tugged at Ye Beiping's arm and asked, "Beiping, what should we do? He's already come inside, and he still hasn't given up on your wife?"
snort!
Ye Beiping snorted coldly and slammed the door shut.
After looking around and seeing that everyone there was one of his own, he gave a strange smile and whispered a few words in Hou Baolin's ear.
"Since he's here, he's a guest. You and Fatty should treat him well today."
"Once he's drunk, you can find an excuse to send him home and just dump him next to the garbage dump."
Upon hearing such a wicked trick, Hou Baolin's eyes lit up as he looked at Ye Beiping, a gloating smile on his face.
"Okay, leave this to me and Fatty. We'll make sure he doesn't smell like this for days when he wakes up tomorrow."
"Um."
Ye Beiping trusted Hou Baolin completely and slapped him hard on the shoulder.
The tacit understanding that the three of them developed from childhood to adulthood is no joke; they did this kind of thing many times before in Pingba Village.
Get someone drunk and dump them in the fields or river; they won't die, at most they'll just get a few mosquito bites.
Now we've just changed the method; throwing Peng Tian next to the trash can isn't illegal.
If anyone asks, Hou Baolin and Wu Di can simply explain that they were also drunk and forgot.
With sinister smiles on their faces, the two men stared intently at Peng Tian's back before slowly walking toward the dining table.
Peng Tian, who was seated by Min Yuehua, instantly felt a chill on the back of his neck. When he turned around and saw Ye Beiping and Hou Baolin, he could only smile.
Soon, an eerie atmosphere filled the dining table.
Hou Baolin and Wu Di had already exchanged words privately and began to toast Peng Tian, repeatedly expressing their gratitude for his congratulations on Ye Beiping moving into his new home.
As brothers, they were determined to treat Peng Tian well.
Seeing the two men's posture, Jiang Hai, Jiang He, and Tang Xiaolong instantly recalled the scene of being plied with alcohol last time, which was exactly the same. They immediately understood what was going on and picked up their glasses to join the group toasting Peng Tian.
