The tall, elegant, and handsome man turned around and kissed his wife's lips in front of everyone.
Just as Ye Ningwan was stunned, Pei Fengzhi straightened up, stared coldly at Madam Pei, and spoke word by word.
"I don't think Ye Ningwan has anything wrong with her. Even if she does, that's my business. Second sister-in-law should mind her own business before worrying about mine."
Madam Pei's expression grew even more unpleasant.
She gritted her teeth and stared intently in the direction Pei Fengzhi and Ye Ningwan had left, wishing she could burn a hole through Pei Fengzhi's back with her gaze!
Just as Madam Pei was about to lose her temper, Old Master Pei, who had been silently watching the farce, finally spoke up.
"Ninth Brother, stop right there."
In front of everyone, Pei Fengzhi still gave Old Master Pei some face.
When Grandpa Pei saw Pei Fengzhi turn around, he gently patted the seat next to him and said to him.
"Don't rush to leave. Now that you're back, and your second sister-in-law has come to inquire about your eldest sister-in-law's situation, let's resolve things first. I've often told you all that family members should get along well and help each other. Whether it's internal affairs or external matters, you are all members of the Pei family, and we share the same honor and disgrace."
Pei Fengzhi, however, seemed indifferent to these matters.
Just now, Ye Ningwan brought up divorce in front of so many people. Pei Fengzhi just wants to go home and talk to Ye Ningwan about it properly. He has no intention of wasting time with the rest of the Pei family.
Ye Ningwan was naturally well aware of this as well.
So, who would want to go home with Pei Fengzhi when he's on the verge of exploding in rage?!
Isn't that just courting death?!
She doesn't want to!
You'll die!
Ye Ningwan gripped Pei Fengzhi's clothes tightly around her waist, stopping him before he could speak.
"Dad is right, let's stay a little longer."
Pei Fengzhi was pulled down by Ye Ningwan, her dark, deep eyes enveloping him.
His voice was deep and magnetic, as if a layer of cigar smoke shrouded his vocal cords, giving it a slightly hoarse quality.
"Stop your little schemes and don't mess with me again, Ye Ningwan."
Ye Ningwan's eyes were filled with tears as she pitifully whispered.
“It won’t take much time. If you just leave like this, Dad will be angry. Of course, he won’t say anything to you, but he’ll definitely be unhappy. If he’s unhappy, he’ll think it’s my fault, and then he’ll have a problem with me.”
Ye Ningwan was truly wronged.
"You know perfectly well that your whole family doesn't like me. If I don't behave well now, they might not dare to do anything to me openly in front of you, but they'll be making sarcastic and sarcastic remarks about me behind my back."
"Do you expect me to follow you around 24/7 like a conjoined twin?"
As Ye Ningwan spoke, it seemed as if she was really about to cry.
She was clearly fiercer than anyone else just now; no one could possibly bully her.
But Pei Fengzhi just happens to fall for her tricks.
He sighed softly, took Ye Ningwan's hand, and walked back to the tea room.
The door to the tea room was closed again.
Old Master Pei's cold expression finally softened a little, but he paused slightly when he saw Pei Fengzhi press Ye Ningwan down on the mahogany chair. In the end, he glanced at Pei Fengzhi standing behind Ye Ningwan but said nothing.
This youngest son was a real headache for him, but he was helpless to do anything about it.
Despite his displeasure, Old Master Pei suppressed his anger and asked Madam Pei.
"What is Minghan's current situation?"
Madam Pei's eyes were red, but she still gritted her teeth and stubbornly spoke.
"Minghan is currently in a coma, but if we can find the Immortal Healer, Minghan will definitely recover."
After pondering for a moment, Old Master Pei quickly turned to Ye Ningwan and asked.
"Wanwan, since you are the last disciple of the Immortal Physician, you can naturally invite your master to come out of seclusion. We are all family, and there is no grudge that lasts overnight. Just help your sister-in-law. Let this matter pass, and no one is allowed to pursue it again."
Without any further expression from Old Master Pei, Madam Pei had already made her stance clear to Ye Ningwan.
“Dad is right. We’re all family. Even though there are some minor frictions, we still have to live together. There’s no grudge that lasts overnight. Although it was Ninth Sister-in-law who caused Minghan to be like this, Minghan was also at fault. Let’s just let this matter rest.”
Madam Pei's words were incredibly humble, but she wasn't looking at Ye Ningwan when she spoke; instead, she was looking at Pei Fengzhi behind Ye Ningwan.
Pei Fengzhi didn't even look at her, standing there silently like a knight in shining armor, cold and exuding a powerful aura.
Ye Ningwan had long been used to the Pei family's periodic ignoring of her; in any case, she didn't take these people seriously.
She just smiled faintly and said.
"It would be best if my sister-in-law thought that way."
Madam Pei then glanced at Ye Ningwan again, her eyes full of anticipation as she asked.
"Can you get your master to come over? The doctor said that Minghan can only hold on for three more hours at most. He needs to have surgery immediately, otherwise he will not be able to save his life!"
When she mentioned the last sentence, Madam Pei's eyes filled with tears, which she forced back to keep from falling.
Ye Ningwan was still smiling.
"Actually... I don't know where my master is either."
Madam Pei's smile instantly froze and turned cold. She forced a smile, but her voice was no longer steady.
"Ninth Sister-in-law, what...what do you mean by this?"
Ye Ningwan picked up the teacup beside her, gently stroking the patterned surface of the cup with her fingertips, and said innocently to Madam Pei in a low voice.
"My master is always elusive, and even I, his disciple, can't find him. After all, he never carries a phone, so seeing him is all a matter of luck. I have no idea where he is right now."
Ye Ningwan helplessly shrugged, her expression sincere and regretful.
"The last time I saw my master was when he was performing surgery on Ninth Master. It has been several months since then. At that time, my master told me that he was going to G country. If he is still in G country now, he probably won't be able to get back within three hours."
“I suggest that my sister-in-law find a reliable doctor to perform surgery on Pei Minghan first, so that his wound does not become infected and spread. If that happens, it will not be a simple minor surgery, and he may even need to have his leg amputated.”
Madam Pei's face finally turned terribly gloomy.
Bang!
She slammed her hand on the marble tea table, leaned down and glared coldly at Ye Ningwan, her eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to tear her apart and chew her up.
"Ye Ningwan! How dare you treat me like this? Don't forget who caused Minghan to become like this! If you don't find your master and get revenge on Minghan, I will definitely not let you off easily!"
Ye Ningwan looked up innocently at the menacing Madam Pei standing in front of her.
Then he turned to Grandpa Pei and asked.
