After Wang Hongmian finished speaking, Lu Nong looked at everyone's expressions and found that except for Shen's mother who was shocked and speechless, everyone else had a look of understanding on their faces.
Shen Yiming turned his face away, while Shen's father's face turned red with embarrassment, while his sister-in-law and Pei Su looked calm, obviously having known everything for a long time.
Even Pei Mingxia, who trusted Shen Yimei the most among the Pei family, had a look of disbelief on her face and the rest of it was sudden enlightenment, as if she had thought of something.
Pei's father and mother looked at Shen Yimei with grief and confusion, as if Shen Yimei had deceived them and betrayed their trust.
Strictly speaking, it was indeed a disappointment. Lu Nong thought that Mr. and Mrs. Pei treated Shen Yimei much better than their own son.
Pei Zheng said that he had told his family the truth about his mother's infidelity more than once. Even Pei Zheng knew about it, which showed that Pei Ji'an did not want to hide the fact that he was cuckolded. Why did Pei's mother and father prefer to believe Shen Yimei rather than Pei Ji'an?
It turns out that in this drama, the only one who was kept in the dark was Shen's mother, and the three members of the Pei family were also deceiving themselves like fools.
Not to mention the Pei family, Lu Nong found the Shen family's train of thought even more incredible. Since the Shen family knew that it was Shen Yimei who cheated, why did they acquiesce to Shen Yimei pretending that nothing had happened and continue to come to the Pei family to be a good daughter-in-law?
What was Shen Yimei thinking that she could actually act out such a sentimental drama in the Pei family? Is her mental strength so strong?
How could Shen Yiming have the nerve to think that Pei Jinan had let his sister down?
Pei Mingxia was even weirder than Lu Nong himself. She grabbed a handful of hair and stood up from the sofa. She rushed to Shen Yimei like a cannonball and questioned, "Why did you lie to me? I asked you if you divorced my brother because you cheated on me, and you vaguely said it was not the case. I believed you when you said you didn't do it. We have been friends for more than 20 years, but you didn't even tell me a single truth. Shen Yimei, do you have any feelings?"
Lu Nong: “…”
2333333The wheel of fortune turns. Just now Shen Yiming questioned whether Pei Jinan had any heart, but now this boomerang directly hits Shen Yimei.
Pei Mingxia was still questioning, and suddenly realized as she questioned, "I said that when I mentioned this matter, you cried and said you were wrong, saying that you were sorry for my brother. I thought my brother divorced you because you ignored Pei Zheng and left him at home to go out and play, which almost caused Pei Zheng to lose his life. I thought you and my brother loved each other at the time, and I thought my brother didn't get married because he was waiting for you..."
"Haha, I'm so stupid. Now think about it, even the so-called mutual affection was said by you. In the end, your mutual affection was just a despicable trick. You blushed when you mentioned my brother in front of me. For more than ten years, you have been acting in front of me for more than ten years."
"Yes, it's stupid." Lu Nong said truthfully.
Pei Mingxia: “…”
"It's not like that, Mingxia, listen to me..." Shen Yimei grabbed Pei Mingxia's hand and tried to defend herself.
Pei Mingxia shook off Shen Yimei's hand and asked incomprehensibly, "I don't understand. Since you cheated on me, why do you continue to come back and pretend to be affectionate? You have been waiting for my brother for more than ten years, asking for nothing, doing nothing, and not even bothering my brother. You are wholeheartedly filial to his parents. Even I feel sorry for you, and even my parents are moved by you. What are you trying to do?"
Mother Pei opened her mouth and smiled bitterly, "Yes, you treated us like a parent, for more than ten years, not just a few days. At first, we half believed and half doubted, even Pei Zheng said that you cheated on him. We knew that Pei Zheng was not close to you, and we were afraid that he lied because you almost killed him. We felt guilty that my son had ruined your innocence, so we believed you and not my son. Later, you were so good to us, we no longer doubted you... but it turned out that even the things at that time were fake."
Pei Ji'an frowned when he heard this, finding it unbelievable. He thought that he and Shen Yimei had ended more than ten years ago. When Shen Yimei cheated on him, he first reported it to the organization and then informed Shen's family. Finally, because the front line was extremely urgent, he took Pei Zheng to his parents' home for foster care and told them the reason for the divorce.
Otherwise, how could Uncle Shen easily agree to approve his divorce report?
He thought his parents and siblings all knew about it, but it turned out that they never believed him at all.
It's so ridiculous that it makes people laugh.
Pei Zheng seldom went home in recent years. He knew that Pei's mother was close to Shen Yimei, but he didn't care. Because since he returned to the Pei family as a teenager, Pei's father and mother had never stopped being close to Shen Yimei. Sometimes Pei Ji'an even suspected that Shen Yimei was their biological daughter.
In the past few years, Pei's father, Pei's mother and Pei Mingxia had never mentioned Shen Yimei in front of him, let alone the so-called "always waiting for Shen Yimei".
It was not until Pei's father suddenly mentioned to Pei Ji'an the matter of remarrying Shen Yimei that Pei Ji'an realized that his parents had such an idea. He flatly refused and married Lu Nong to put an end to their thoughts.
If Shen Yimei hadn't done this today, I don't know how long this absurd thing would have continued.
"It's not like that, Mingxia, Mom and Dad, I didn't mean to lie to you. I was just confused at the time. It was really just confused. I didn't want to lie to you, but I didn't dare to tell you. You believe me."
Shen Yimei cried and explained, what was she begging for? She begged that nothing had happened, she begged that she had not had an extramarital affair, she begged Pei Ji'an to know that after more than ten years of silent dedication, he could be moved by her once, and they could go back to the past and start over.
Pei Mingxia ignored her and walked up to her husband, breathing heavily. She just wanted to hide now. She didn't dare to look at her second brother's expression, for fear of hearing Lu Nong laugh at her stupidity.
Mother Pei remained silent, while Father Pei spoke hoarsely: "Don't call us mom and dad, we can't bear it."
Shen Yimei's eyes darkened, knowing that everything was over.
"What about the child?" After all, she is Shen Yimei's biological mother, and Shen's mother cares more about Shen Yimei and her child.
Shen Yimei froze... Child, the past events that she most wanted to forget in these years suddenly appeared before her eyes.
Shen Yimei felt terrified to be with a man who always seemed to be able to see through her selfish intentions or her poor performances. He was always scrutinizing her, and she couldn't see any love in his eyes, and she was unwilling to accept this.
Shen Yimei is the best-looking girl in the compound. Why shouldn't Pei Jinan love her?
So after Pei Jinan was transferred out of Beijing, Shen Yimei deliberately flirted with someone else, and then wrote to him to tell him how many men were obsessed with her. She originally just wanted to have fun.
But as she played around, she lost her sincerity and fell in love with a man who was completely different from Pei Jinan.
Su Shiliang, a man whose name carries the meaning of Buddhist karma, is no less handsome than Pei Jinan, he can please her, say sweet words to her, buy roasted sweet potatoes for her in the rain, take her for an outing in the suburbs, and do everything that Pei Jinan would not do for her.
When he said to Shen Yimei, my name is Su Shiliang, and you are my destiny, Shen Yimei was completely fallen, fell madly in love with Su Shiliang, and gave herself to this man.
Not long after, Shen Yimei discovered that she was pregnant, and she wrote to Pei Ji'an asking him to come back.
Pei Jinan ignored it at first, but later when Pei Zheng got into trouble, Pei Jinan finally came back. She begged him to divorce her and set her free.
Shen Yimei told Pei Ji'an that she was pregnant. She loved Su Shiliang and asked Pei Ji'an to help them get married.
Shen Yimei still remembers the look in Pei Jian's eyes when he looked at her, which made her feel frightened and confused. Just when she thought Pei Jian would not agree, he was silent for a while and finally asked for Pei Zheng.
Shen Yimei was extremely happy. She had a new lover and a new fruit of love. Naturally, she no longer cared about Pei Zheng, the son who had brought her so much frustration. They divorced smoothly.
But strangely, the divorce was not as happy as Shen Yimei had imagined. She found that she still thought of Pei Ji'an and she couldn't let him go.
God is always good at playing jokes on people. A month later, Su Shiliang accompanied her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told them that it was an ectopic pregnancy. Not only could they not keep the baby, but her ovaries would also be damaged, and she might never be able to have children again.
After that day, Su Shiliang, who said he would be with her for the rest of her life, disappeared, and her love was shattered.
It was her brother and Wang Hongmian who accompanied her to the hospital to have the baby aborted.
Shen Yimei woke up from her crazy love and found that she had lost everything. One day, when she was gazing at the white plum tree outside the house, at that moment she realized very clearly that she still loved Pei Ji'an.
What does it matter whether Pei Ji'an is scrutinizing her or seeing through her? If he can easily see through himself, he can also easily see through her love. Over time, he will always be moved by his own love.
She was wrong and shouldn't have used such extreme means on Pei Jian, so she had to correct her mistake.
How to correct the mistake?
Shen Yimei regarded the divorce as a new beginning. She didn't dare to appear in front of Pei Ji'an again, but she could try to please his family. He was busy with work and didn't go home all year round, so she took care of his parents on his behalf, silently giving everything without letting him know, and even hiding when she wanted to see him.
She believed that time would pass and that when he knew the truth, he might be moved by her.
As long as Pei Jianan doesn't get married, she still has a chance, Shen Yimei told herself.
A miracle really happened. Pei Jinan didn't get married for a year, two years, or even more than ten years. Pei Mingxia said that Pei Jinan had been waiting for her.
Shen Yimei was willing to believe that last year she finally couldn't help but hint to her parents and Pei Jian's parents that she still liked Pei Jian'an, and Uncle Pei really went to find Pei Jian'an.
But she never expected that Pei Jian would marry another woman without any warning, and her wait seemed to have become a joke overnight.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she shouldn't have shown up, but she couldn't help it. She wanted to see if Pei Ji'an treated his new wife as coldly and distantly as he treated her... She wanted to use her closeness to Aunt Pei to hurt the person who took her place.
Unfortunately, she was the one who was hurt in the end. She watched Pei Ji'an holding the woman's hand intimately. She was not afraid of him at all. She dared to interrupt him when he was talking. She didn't care about anything, and Pei Ji'an would just look at her and smile.
It's really strange, why would Pei Ji'an smile? He should be cold, distant, and superior. His eyes shouldn't show indulgence, and the corners of his mouth shouldn't show doting.
Shen Yimei was mad with jealousy. She couldn't help it. After more than ten years of deep affection, he smiled at someone else. How could she feel? How could she feel?
It's really a futile effort.
Coming back to her senses, Shen Yimei wiped away her tears and said, "The child is gone. I aborted it."
"You!" Mother Shen covered her chest and took a few steps back before being supported by Father Shen.
"Mom, are you okay?" Shen Yiming and Wang Hongmian stepped forward to support Shen's mother.
“Pah…”
Shen's mother slapped Shen Yiming on the face, "How dare you blame Pei Ji'an? Are you worthy of being his friend?"
Shen Yiming's face changed, and then his whole demeanor dimmed. He knew that he was not worthy, so he could only be an enemy of Pei Ji'an. He could only tell himself that it was Pei Ji'an's fault, and they would be enemies all their lives.
If he couldn't even be an enemy, he didn't know what else would be left. Gu Weiguo was dead, Pei Ji'an looked down on him, and there was no turning back.
"Shen Congnian, you know exactly what role you played in these things. Your sons and daughters are just like you, bold and capable of anything. I will report the divorce to the organization, and I should investigate you."
When she was young, Shen's mother admired Shen's father's heroism and his carefree attitude. After they were together, she found that carelessness can sometimes be a disaster. She endured it for the sake of her children, but now she realizes that her children have changed beyond recognition and she can no longer endure it.
Mr. Shen always had a bad temper, but today he was unusually silent, so Mother Shen knew she had not blamed the wrong person.
"Ji'an, I'm sorry to your family. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation. I guarantee it as a party member." After saying this, Shen's mother bowed and instantly looked ten years older. She no longer had the same attitude as before.
Pei Ji'an remained silent. In his eyes, the Shen family was just like a group of flies that flew around him more than ten years ago. When he thought he had finally gotten rid of them, someone told him more than ten years later that they had not given up yet and this time they had even instigated his own family to rebel.
If Pei Ji'an didn't reach out to hit the fly, he would feel guilty for being slandered for so long. Just like what Shen's mother said, he didn't believe that there was no connivance from Shen's father and Shen Yiming. No matter what explanation Shen's mother would give him, he would give himself an explanation.
You don't know the pain until you are beaten. He has been holding the Shen family's handle for a long time.
After Shen's mother took Shen Yimei and the Shen family away, the Pei family looked at each other. Pei's mother stammered and wanted to say something. Pei's father maintained his authority as a father, coughed and said, "Jian'an, come with me to the study, I have something to tell you."
Pei Ji'an raised his hands and said calmly, "No need, Dad. There is no need for this. Today's events are very clear. I hope that you will not mix up anything about me in the future, just like you did more than 30 years ago, more than 20 years ago, or more than 10 years ago."
After Pei Ji'an finished speaking, Pei's father and mother's faces turned pale, which was even more devastating than when they found out that Shen Yimei had deceived them.
When Pei Ji'an mentioned what happened more than ten years ago, Pei Mingxia became even more panicked. She remembered how she teased and laughed at her brother when he just came home, saying that he was not her brother and that he was not worthy of her. She didn't dare to think about the past all these years.
She was even more afraid after her eldest brother died. She only had one brother left and she was afraid that her brother would ignore her, so she tried her best to bring Shen Yimei and her brother together.
In the end, it was all wrong. She was wrong again. Her second brother never forgot the past. He hated his parents, so how could he not hate her?
Pei Ji'an didn't know what Pei Mingxia was thinking, and even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care. He shook Lu Nong's hand and said, "Let's go home."
Lu Nong shook his hand back and smiled, "Okay, let's go home."
The author has something to say:
Did I not write it clearly? Let me explain it in detail.
1. Regarding divorce, Pei Jinan mentioned it, and Pei Jinan thought the Pei family believed it. Pei Zheng also mentioned it, but the Pei family did not believe it. However, they did not tell Pei Jinan that they did not believe it (do you understand the logic?).
2. As Pei Ji'an was a big boss, no one dared to say anything like he was unfaithful in front of him. Even his own sister only dared to say that he "had been waiting for Shen Yimei". When she was furious after Lu Nong appeared, Pei's mother was not close to her son, and she did not dare to blame him for anything.
As a result, everyone's information points are not connected to each other. Pei Ji'an has long moved on. Pei's father and mother feel that their son has ruined his innocence and let Shen Yimei down, so they try their best to be nice to Shen Yimei. The sister thinks that the love between brother and sister-in-law is perfect, and has been waiting for both sides.
3. Shen Yimei didn't even dare to appear in front of Pei Ji'an and tell him that she still had fantasies about him. She only dared to curry favor with Pei's family in private, trying to take the approach of "I'll wait for you all my life". In addition, Pei Ji'an was not married, which gave her hope.
4. Later, Pei Ji'an learned about his parents' plan, so he got married. When he met Shen Yimei and Pei's mother, who acted like a good daughter-in-law and a good mother-in-law, he directly tore the matter apart, but he never expected Shen Yimei to respond with deep affection, and everyone took it for granted. (So, Shen Yimei at least boiled the frog in warm water and cooked the others. If the heroine hadn't appeared, she would have let the hero know her silent dedication.)
5. The Shen family thinks that since the daughter is already in their hands, and she has made up her mind to harm Pei Ji'an for the rest of his life, they should just turn a blind eye and see if she can succeed. Pei Ji'an is not married anyway, and maybe Pei Ji'an will suddenly get angry and remarry his daughter for whatever reason for the sake of the child?
6. Shen Yiming knew that he was wrong to drug the girl, and he also knew that his sister was wrong to cheat on him, but his sister loved Pei Ji'an so much, and waited for him for more than ten years wholeheartedly to atone her sins, but she never received Pei Ji'an's love. He felt that it was unfair, similar to the value concept of "you just lost your legs, but what she lost was her love" (to be honest, many people in that era really thought this way, I have watched many dramas like this).
7. Regarding the so-called rumors, think about who can spread the rumors. It must be Shen Yimei and her little sisters. They can't even dance in front of Pei Ji'an. At most, they can dance in front of Pei Zheng. But Pei Zheng is not close to his father. I don't know if it was written clearly at the beginning that Pei Zheng is afraid of his father.
Until Lu Nong appeared, the balance of everything was broken. Shen Yimei could no longer wait, and Pei Mingxia's perfect CP was over. Pei Mingxia was the first one who couldn't help it and revealed it in front of her brother. Pei Ji'an realized that this was what you thought. He didn't understand, but he was shocked.
Then there is Shen Yimei, who is a bit crazy.
