He didn't interrupt when his mother spoke.
He had no objection to terminating the cooperation.
But the fact that my son came out as gay was a huge shock, and I still haven't recovered.
The Pei and Yu families have already invested a lot of money in the early stages of their cooperation, with a net profit of about seven or eight billion. If they go back on their word now, the penalty for breach of contract will be a huge sum. It might not bankrupt the Yu family, but it will certainly bleed them dry.
People who are good at social situations generally don't speak too definitively, and they certainly don't easily offend their partners.
At first, they didn't understand the situation. When the Pei family saw how badly the person was injured, they felt guilty and wanted to resolve the matter peacefully by offering an apology. They figured they could just earn less from the next project.
Now?
Pei's mother sided with her son, and Pei's father followed suit, always obeying his wife.
Yu's father is now in a dilemma.
He was only focused on bringing his son to 'settle accounts', and at the same time, he had a project with a very promising future that needed strong financial support, so he wanted to cooperate with Pei Ji's father and uncle.
Pei Lin has his own company.
But his father wanted to give him more training.
Let him handle this matter.
They won't let go of the point they've firmly grasped.
Mr. Yu has been quite worried lately, because according to the rate offered by the other party, they are earning far less than expected.
He thought he could use this incident as a breakthrough to get Pei's father to step in and help him get more profit from Pei Lin, since they were uncle and nephew.
Perhaps I was too impatient, and as a result, I didn't get to eat the hot tofu.
If what Pei Ji said is true.
Instead, it only made things worse for them.
After weighing the pros and cons, he suppressed his anger and drank with Pei's father as if nothing had happened.
Yu Mochi frowned. They were all smart people. If they caused any more trouble and it affected the family's interests, he wouldn't have an easy time either. So he had no choice but to reluctantly follow his father.
Still young at heart, with a cold face, ruining the atmosphere.
Even Pei's mother was afraid that he would overturn the table halfway through his drink, so she gave Wang's mother a wink, and Wang's mother pulled the young master out.
"Aren't you supposed to cook for the young master next door? Go ahead, young master."
Pei Ji left without looking back.

Nan Yu was sitting on a small stool in the kitchen shelling edamame when she saw Pei Ji return. Curious, she asked, "Finished eating?"
I was still thinking how fast time flies.
The boy pouted: "I didn't eat. I'm just holding in my anger."
Nan Yu immediately dropped the half-shelled edamame she was holding, took off her disposable gloves, stood up, walked to Pei Ji's side, and said with a worried look in her eyes, "Did I scold you again? If you don't like going home, don't come back. I'll take care of you."
Pei Ji moved in to play the victim, claiming he was being 'abused' by his parents.
In Nan Yu's heart.
He was just a pitiful child who wasn't liked.
I feel so bad that I'm so angry as soon as I get home.
I feel sorry for her.
Pei Ji was taken aback, then moved.
He opened his arms and hugged his baby.
He buried his face in his neck and didn't speak for a long time.
Nan Yu thought he was sad, so she offered him her shoulder to lean on.
The truth is that Pei Ji took advantage of his wife by burying his face in her neck; she smelled sweet, and he liked it.
Glug glug~~~
Nan Yu was hungry, so Pei Ji held his wife's shoulders, took off his apron and tied it on for himself, saying, "I'll cook, you go lie down outside."
Yu: "I'll do it."
Pei: "I'll do it."
Yu: "I'll do it."
Pei Ji: "Peel the edamame, I'll cut the meat."
Nan Yu nodded.
After cooking and setting the table, halfway through the meal, Pei's mother sent him a message asking him to come home. Pei Ji replied: "Eat, Mom."
Pei's mother: Remember to come back after you finish eating, your dad is really angry.
Pei Ji: Please advise me, I don't want to go back and get whipped.
Pei's mother: If I didn't stop him, your dad would have hit you right now.
Pei Ji: Time to eat.
Nan Yu watched him type on his phone, her eyes pleading. She wanted to know but didn't want to ask directly. Luckily, Pei Ji understood her and explained, "My mom wants me to go back home after I finish eating."
Nan Yu's brows furrowed with worry again. "Is it really not okay not to go back?"
"Something came up. Eat, bro, don't worry about me." Pei Ji put a few potato slices on his plate.
Nan Yu didn't say anything more, and ate her food silently with her head down.
Pei Ji went home after finishing his meal. With the boy gone, the house felt empty again. Nan Yu was worried and lost her appetite. Every second felt unbearable.
The image of Pei Ji's miserable state after being beaten spontaneously appeared in her mind.
The more I thought about it, the less I could control myself; my mind was filled with anxiety.
Why call someone away once and then call them away again?
What happened?
Nan Yu was terrified. The image of 'Pei Ji' in her mind was almost killed. She was restless and paced back and forth in the living room, sending messages to Pei Ji. When she realized he didn't have his phone with him, she became even more anxious.
The living room next door.
Pei Ji knelt before the ancestral tablets, his left cheek red from being slapped. Pei's mother remained silent, while Pei's father exuded an extremely low aura, creating an eerie silence throughout the villa.
It was quiet for about five minutes.
Pei's father's angry voice rang out again.
"Say it again, who do you like!"
Pei Ji was also a stubborn one. "Brother Xiaoyu! You can kill me, but I still like him!" He said in a desperate manner, "My sexual orientation is what it is. Even if I straighten it out, it's just for show. If you don't let him into the family, I'll marry into the family! I don't want a single penny from the family. I'll live off a woman!"
Pei's father was so angry that he suffered a heart attack.
He kicked the boy hard, and Pei Ji was able to stay steady, but he fell to the ground.
Mrs. Pei was so frightened that she came over to stop her husband.
"What are you doing! My son, whom I carried for ten months and gave birth to, isn't it enough that you hit him a couple of times, you even started kicking him?"
Mr. Pei didn't want to upset Mrs. Pei, but his son had really infuriated him. "We only have this one unfilial son! He wants to go and live off someone else!"
Pei's mother: "Can't you tell I'm joking? The little neighbor next door is quite nice. I've met him. Except that he's a boy and can't have children, he's a good match for Pei Ji."
"My brother is the best!" After saying that, he fell to the ground and pretended to be dead.
Pei's father, who was already angry, became even angrier.
He turned left and right, looking for a handy tool to beat up Pei Ji.
The boy, having narrowly escaped death, added, "If you dare, have another child with my mom, as long as you're willing to let her become an older mother."
Pei's father was so angry he almost fainted.
Pei's mother was speechless. Was he deliberately letting his father hit him? He was a master at adding fuel to the fire.
Pei's father roared, "Go! Bring me the bamboo cane from my study!"
Wang Ma looked at Pei Mama.
Mother Pei shook her head, and Mother Wang didn't move.
Mr. Pei went to get it himself. Mrs. Pei looked at her son who was still lying on the ground and sighed, "Get up and leave quickly. Your father has vented his anger. I'll talk to him tonight, and this matter can be put behind us. Don't stay at home and upset your father."
"Brother Xiaoyu might be here soon, please keep an eye on the doorbell."
Pei's mother: ?
“No.” She sat up. “You should stop my dad for a bit, and let him hit me when the doorbell rings.”
Pei's mother laughed in exasperation, "Don't go too far. Your dad knows that coming out is a very serious matter, you know? And you're treating it like part of a play?"
"People should learn to make the most of their resources and maximize their benefits."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Pei's father angrily came over with a bamboo stick and asked Wang Ma to pull Pei's mother away. He then struck Pei Ji hard on the back with the stick. The stick was thin to begin with, and the sound of it cutting through the air and hitting flesh was painful to hear.
