Chapter 24
Gu Zhinian did not let these things come to Shi Wan's attention. Even when Ruan Leyi came to the door, she was directly turned away by Aunt Lin. The Pei family was now on the verge of bankruptcy. Pei Hongyuan was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters. Pei Shichen was also busy every day. The Pei family's real estate was basically all gone.
It is impossible for the Ruan family to forget the money the Pei family put in. Not to mention that the Pei family offended the Gu family, just because of Pei Hongyuan's face when he came to power, it is impossible for the eldest brother of the Ruan family to help. He didn't think of them when things were good, but thought of them when they were in trouble. It's really a dream.
"Shi Wan, this ungrateful bastard, shouldn't have brought him back in the first place!"
"He will only bring disaster to the family. Shi Wan is a disaster star. He is unlucky for me! He is unlucky for our whole family!" Ruan Leyi lost face outside Gu Zhinian's villa and was seen by those noble ladies. How can she have the face to go out and see people in the future!
"Why did you take the deaf boy back then? If you hadn't brought him back, so many problems wouldn't have happened. Ah—" Ruan Leyi screamed and roared.
"Bang--" Pei Hongyuan threw the teacup in his hand at Ruan Leyi's feet, and said impatiently.
"Okay, why are you arguing? Aren't you feeling chaotic enough? Weren't you the one who insisted on taking him back? How could you have forgotten?" Pei Hongyuan untied his tie and leaned back on the sofa, breathing heavily.
Ruan Leyi was like a duck with its neck pinched, unable to make a sound. Finally, she slumped down on the sofa in despair and muttered, "I was deceived by his photos. He did it on purpose."
When Ruan Leyi saw Shi Wan's photo, she was stunned at first sight. She thought that if she had such a handsome son, all the ladies would envy her. Little did she know that Shi Wan was deaf and incompatible with their family!
"Okay, shut up!" Pei Hongyuan became more and more impatient.
"I—" Ruan Leyi's voice rose eight degrees. She caught a glimpse of Mr. Pei at the door and held back the rest of her words. Ruan Leyi was afraid of Mr. Pei and said timidly, "Dad, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, this family business would have been squandered by you! What did I tell you? I told you to treat the child well. No matter what, he is your biological child. What did you do?" Old Master Pei glanced at everyone in the living room.
"Grandpa, please sit down." Pei Shichen went to help Grandpa Pei sit down, and the servants took the opportunity to clean up the things on the ground.
"Dad, it's that little bastard who is impossible to tame. He--" Pei Hongyuan tried to argue but was interrupted by Grandpa Pei.
"Shut up. What's the point of saying these things now? Otherwise, you can just suppress him so that he can never get over. Now that he has turned over, what's the point of saying these things?" Old Master Pei said coldly. Although Pei Hongyuan was indignant, he did not dare to refute.
"Ask Shi Wan to meet me, I'll talk to him in person."
"Grandpa... Shi Wan has blocked all of us. We can't contact him at all." Pei Shichen said this with a dark face. Shi Wan actually dared to block them!
"Idiots, a bunch of idiots!" Old Master Pei gasped in anger when he heard this. How could he have such stupid descendants? Can't he even win over his own children?
Mr. Pei signaled the old butler beside him to call Shi Wan, and the old butler understood and dialed the number.
Until it automatically hung up, no one answered.
Mr. Pei's expression became even uglier. Ruan Leyi didn't even dare to breathe heavily. How dare that little bastard Shi Wan not answer the phone!
The old housekeeper called again, but the call was automatically hung up again. It was not until the fifth call that the call was connected.
"Young Master Shi Wan, the old man has something to tell you." The old butler handed the phone to Mr. Pei.
“Why did you answer the phone just now…” The call was hung up again, and Mr. Pei’s face turned ashen.
Shi Wan directly added this number to the blacklist.
When Shi Wan couldn't contact the Pei family, Old Master Pei had no choice but to ask many people. Gu Zhinian ignored him, so he could only ask Gu Boyan.
"What do you think?" Gu Bainian turned around and called Gu Zhinian. Old Master Pei followed the path of his wife. His father-in-law also owed him a small favor in his early years, and now he couldn't refuse. Gu Bainian could only ask his elder brother over the phone.
"You can meet once." Gu Zhinian handed the medicine to Shi Wan and replied.
"What are you thinking? It's not like you to be so hesitant." Gu Bainian teased as he held his lover in his arms and sat down.
"A soft knife is more painful. My Wanwan has suffered so much, how can they let it go so easily?" Whenever he thought of Shi Wan being called deaf by his closest relatives in the Pei family, he couldn't help but feel distressed. The whole family humiliated and suppressed Wanwan indiscriminately, and even wanted to "sell" Shi Wan for money.
"Just be clear on your own." Gu Bainian didn't ask any more questions. "Just tell me if you need any help."
"Okay, hanging up." Gu Zhinian said and hung up the phone.
"Will it make Zhinian's job difficult?" Shen Xiangchen frowned, full of guilt.
"I'm afraid Zhinian has investigated all the relationships of the Pei family thoroughly. He is just waiting for Dad to use these relationships. He has a backup plan to avoid making things difficult for Dad in the future." Gu Boyan didn't say that he understood Gu Zhinian 100%, but he still understood him about 50% to 60%. All of this was within the calculations of his black-hearted brother.
"That's good." Shen Xiangchen breathed a sigh of relief. "How could my dad be related to such a person? The Pei family is really..." Shen Xiangchen didn't know how to describe the Pei family. He had read the news online. He really couldn't understand how there could be such biological parents? Such close brothers?
"People are pretending, who knows what they are like behind the scenes. Tell dad not to feel guilty, it's okay." Gu Bainian played with Shen Xiangchen's slender fingers.
"Okay." Shen Xiangchen nodded. "No, I have to go home and get something to apologize to Shi Wan. Anyway, it was all my dad's fault, so I'll use his treasures to apologize!" Shen Xiangchen left as soon as he said that. Gu Bainian's arms were empty all of a sudden. When he reacted, Shen Xiangchen was gone.
This, this, this...will my wife come back tonight?!
On the other side, Gu Zhinian told Shi Wan about his meeting with the Pei family. Shi Wan's reaction was something Gu Zhinian had not expected: "Will this cause trouble for your eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
How could the Pei family be willing to treat such a good Wanwan like this!
"Baby, what did you say? Huh? I didn't hear it clearly, say it again?" Gu Zhinian approached Shi Wan with a smile.
The animal's instinct made Shi Wan feel dangerous, but Shi Wan didn't know where he had said it wrong, "If your brother and sister-in-law find it troublesome, then uh-"
"Baby, breathe." Gu Zhinian's voice was filled with a chuckle. Shi Wan hurriedly lifted Xiaoxiao up and stood between them.
"You, you, you...it's daytime now...I didn't call you Mr. Gu, how could you, how could you...do this." Shi Wan said, burying his whole face in the little long hair.
"I have a license and it's legal and compliant." Gu Zhinian laughed carefreely.
"ah?!"
"You, you, you... sat on... my color palette..." Gu Zhinian's white home clothes pants turned colorful visibly. Shi Wan covered her eyes to try to deceive herself. It would have been better if the gaps between her fingers were smaller.
Gu Zhinian looked at Shi Wan, who was avoiding his gaze and quickly closing his fingers, with a look of laughter and tears in his eyes: "I'm going to change my clothes."
Gu Zhinian left the stage with a smile on his face, but his steps were bigger than usual!
"Hahahahahahaha..." Shi Wan laughed out loud after hearing the sound of the door closing. Well, there was paint on Gu Zhinian's pants, and it was really funny when it moved.
