"Why did I transfer Ayan to the African branch for training? Sister-in-law, why don't you tell us the whole story, or do you want me to tell it myself?"
Pei Yaozhou's low voice came from the crowd.
Lin Jing didn't expect that what he just said to the Yin-Yang Master Pei San was actually heard by the real master, so he quickly spoke up to cover Pei Yaozhou's mouth.
He instigated his son and future daughter-in-law to buy medicine for the old lady, which almost caused her life. If this matter really got out, the reputation of their family would be ruined.
If things go wrong, you might even be branded as someone who wants to kill the old lady to fight for the family property.
Lin Jing brought her son and walked up to Pei Yaozhou with a smile: "Third Master, you misunderstood. I was so happy when you let A Yan go to the African branch for training. It was all Mrs. Gu who misunderstood."
The young lady's face turned red and white at this moment. She didn't expect that she was being blamed for speaking up for Lin Jing.
When everyone saw Mr. Pei San coming, they all responded.
"We all know that Master Pei is a very fair person. He must have his reasons for doing this."
"Yes, everyone in the Chinese business community knows Mr. Pei's character, and who wouldn't want to cooperate with him because of his character?"
"Mrs. Pei, the Third Master doesn't have any children of his own now. Besides Miss Ning, the only other young man is Mr. Pei. The Third Master will definitely teach Mr. Pei like his own child. Don't worry, this internship opportunity in Africa is not something that everyone can get!"
Lin Jing looked at the hypocritical faces of these people who were sitting on the fence and felt frustrated. Whoever wanted this opportunity could take it.
Back then, she thought that if she married Pei Yaori, she would be able to become the mistress of the Pei family in the future. However, Pei Yaori turned out to be a coward, so she had to endure Pei Yaozhou's humiliation wherever she went, and she had to smile and say "yes" on the surface.
Lin Jing's gaze shifted to Qiao Ruoxi, and he looked her over with squinted eyes.
She had heard about Qiao Ruoxi's story from her son. By some chance, she saved the old lady's life, which made the old lady happy for a while. She took the opportunity to get close to Pei Yaozhou.
In the final analysis, she is just a country girl who is not presentable.
Since she couldn't vent her anger on Mr. Pei and Old Madam Pei, couldn't she vent it on this girl?
Even if I can't do it openly, I want her to feel uncomfortable.
"Who is this girl? I don't think I've ever seen her before." Lin Jing said in surprise.
Mrs. Pei, who had been sullen just now, suddenly smiled and pulled Qiao Ruoxi to her side: "First daughter-in-law, let me introduce you. This is Qiao Ruoxi, the third daughter-in-law."
After saying that, he looked at Qiao Ruoxi again: "Ruoxi, this is my eldest daughter-in-law Lin Jing, you can call her sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law." In line with the spirit of the agreement and contract, Qiao Ruoxi called out openly.
Lin Jing raised her lip coldly: "Oh, Miss Qiao, I dare not agree to what you said about sister-in-law. Our Pei family has a rule passed down by our ancestors. When a new daughter-in-law enters the house, she must offer tea to all the elders. I have never tasted this kind of tea. How can I dare to acknowledge you when you are not doing it right?"
She deliberately brought up the Pei family's ancestral rules to mock Qiao Ruoxi, thinking that no matter how much Old Lady Pei liked Qiao Ruoxi, she would not contradict the ancestral rules in public.
Qiao Ruoxi is bound to suffer this loss.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Ruoxi smiled faintly: "The tea is ready, but I wonder if Miss Lin has prepared the red envelope for the change of words."
"You!" Lin Jing's eyes turned red with anger.
Old Mrs. Pei's face also turned gloomy.
"I didn't expect that you wouldn't even listen to what your mother said. Well, my son Yaori died early, so I can understand that you don't treat me as your mother. It seems that it's time to divide the family." Old Mrs. Pei looked sad.
Lin Jing was so angry that she gritted her teeth and actually shot herself in the foot.
This family must not be divided. Once divided, except for the fixed assets left by Pei Yaori, everything else in the Pei family will have nothing to do with her. Now she is living a carefree life relying on the dividends from the Pei family.
Without dividends, all that is left is eating up all the savings.
Lin Jing had no choice but to give in: "Mom, what are you talking about? I promised Yaori that I would serve you for the rest of my life. How can we split up? Whatever you say is what I will do."
With so many people watching, Mrs. Pei nodded and said, "Okay, just be obedient. From now on, you sisters-in-law should get along well with each other!"
Mrs. Pei's words made everyone see clearly the position of Qiao Ruoxi in the old lady's heart.
"I'm tired, eldest daughter-in-law, please sit over there with me for a while. Third brother, take Ruoxi for a walk around and have some snacks. Don't let Ruoxi starve."
"Okay." Pei Yaozhou agreed and walked to the other side with Ruoxi.
Lin Jing was speechless. Since they were all daughters-in-law, why were they treated differently?
But the old woman had spoken, and she had just expressed her determination, so she had to follow the old woman and put on a smile.
Pei Junyan also wanted to follow Lin Jing, but was stopped by a look from Old Lady Pei.
"Ayan, you're not a kid anymore. Stop following your mother around like a little tail all day. There are so many talented young people here today. Go talk to them and broaden your horizons."
"I understand, Grandma."
Although Pei Junyan agreed, he felt disgusted when he was asked to take the initiative to make friends with those people.
He is Master Pei. Shouldn't those people take the initiative to curry favor with him?
So he found a small corner where Mrs. Pei couldn't see him and started playing games on his phone.
Old Mrs. Pei sat down in the booth. Lin Jing smiled and bustled around, pouring tea and cutting fruit, asking about her health, making a lot of noise, as if she was afraid that people around her would not notice her filial piety.
