Chapter 203: There was a past relationship!
Uncle, aunt?
Isn't Anling's aunt Xuanrui?
She is Mingyu Jiyue's biological mother!
Did she ask Xuan Rui to help her drug her own son and daughter?
Is Pei Jinhao out of his mind?
If Xuan Rui could hear An Ling's thoughts and hear Pei Jinhao's plans, she would be considered well-mannered if she didn't twist his head off. How could she possibly help him?
And are these two people acquainted?
They probably haven't even exchanged more than a few words, so why would Pei Jinhao want Xuan Rui to help him?
The first reaction of both the An and Pei families was that Pei Jinhao must have really lost his mind. They both felt that it was ridiculous to get angry with such a person. Was it a waste of feelings to get angry with an idiot?
When Pei Jinhao saw that everyone's expressions had changed again, he thought that his words had worked.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then thought he might as well keep up the good work.
"Third sister, please don't be angry with me anymore. I know I used to worry you a lot, but I've changed a lot since I married Xiaowan. I promise I won't make you angry anymore, okay?"
"I said those things just now hoping to strengthen our family ties. If you don't like it, then I won't mention my brother anymore! From now on, I'll listen to whatever you say!"
"However, I truly consider Xiaobo and Xiaoyu as my own children. It's just that these two children don't spend much time with our family, so it's inevitable that they'll become distant. I don't want them to feel like outsiders in the Pei family."
Why don't we take this opportunity to stay at home with Xiaowan and the two children for a while longer to get to know each other better?
This wasn't the first time they'd stayed at the Pei family's house. Pei Jinhao thought his suggestion was a sure thing, but to his surprise, Pei Jinwen immediately rejected it.
She even ordered the housekeeper to call security personnel, intending to kick Pei Jinhao and his entire family out.
"I've made myself very clear. Since you won't leave on your own, I'll have someone escort you out! From now on, the Pei family will not welcome any of you!"
Pei Jinhao's apology and attempts to make amends did not yield the desired result; instead, he received a firm order from Pei Jinwen to leave.
He felt he had been swallowing his anger time and time again, but Pei Jinwen was becoming more and more heartless, clearly humiliating him.
"Third sister, don't push your luck! We came to see you out of kindness, but you want to drive us away violently. Don't you think about what others will think of the Pei family if word gets out?"
When the security personnel came in and saw that Pei Jinhao and his group were still unwilling to leave, they prepared to drag them away as Pei Jinwen had requested.
Seeing that the Pei family was serious, Su Xiaowan panicked.
Seeing that things were not going well, she actually got up from the chair and sat on the floor, crying and shouting:
"Heavens above! The Pei family is bullying us! They look down on their own brother just because they are powerful and wealthy, and they even want to kick his whole family out during the Lantern Festival."
What kind of world is this? We came all this way to visit, only to be turned away. No good deed goes unpunished! If God has eyes, let this cold-blooded family be punished!
Seeing these two people crying wolf, the others watched with indifference and found it utterly absurd.
If God truly has eyes, it is Pei Jinhao's family who should suffer retribution.
In short, their tantrums did not sway the Pei family in the slightest; the security personnel simply grabbed them and dragged them toward the door.
"Pei Jinwen!"
Knowing his plan was about to fall through, Pei Jinhao completely stopped pretending and burst into a tirade:
"You only consider your grandchildren precious, while other people's children are just weeds, right? I just made a couple of casual suggestions, is that a big deal? What makes Xiaobo and Xiaoyu any less than them? Do you really think we care?"
"Besides, who knows if they're your son's children? Didn't your daughter raise two children for someone else for nothing? Maybe your son's two children aren't even someone else's?"
To anyone else, these were words spoken in a fit of impotent rage and should not be taken seriously.
But no parent can remain calm after hearing such words.
"shut up!"
Pei Yuansi, who rarely gets angry, roared at Pei Jinhao.
"Get him out of here right now, stop him from spouting nonsense!"
The security personnel didn't dare to be negligent and quickened their pace; if they could, they would have thrown these people out directly.
Is this even human language? Even those who weren't involved couldn't stand it anymore.
If it were them, they would have beaten Pei Jinhao into a pulp long ago.
Just as they were about to successfully drag the four people out, someone suddenly spoke up to stop them.
"Wait a moment!"
It was Xuanrui who spoke.
She was the mistress of the Pei family, so the security personnel stopped what they were doing and looked at her, thinking that she had finally lost her temper and was going to come up and give Pei Jinhao a good beating.
The An and Pei families thought so too, until Xuan Rui uttered her next sentence, and they were stunned for a long time before they realized what they had heard.
"Mom." Xuan Rui turned to Pei Jinwen after stopping the security personnel.
Her expression was somewhat unpleasant, and she seemed to know that what she was about to say was problematic, but she still spoke anyway.
"Since my uncle has already admitted his mistake, why don't we just let it go for now? After all, it's the New Year, and it wouldn't be good if word got out about what happened today."
We're all family, there's really no need to make things so ugly. Calm down, after all, we're siblings, there's nothing we can't resolve, right?
Neither the An nor Pei families spoke for a long time, all staring blankly at Xuan Rui, making her feel uncomfortable. But even so, she still didn't change her mind.
The An and Pei families simply couldn't understand why she would say such a thing.
Even if she couldn't hear An Ling's thoughts or know Pei Jinhao's true intentions, she should be able to see that Pei Jinhao did indeed intend to introduce his two children to the Pei siblings, right?
That alone should be enough to annoy her as a mother, right?
Why would they come out to mediate?
Pei Jinwen frowned, looking disapproving, but she couldn't very well contradict her daughter-in-law.
Pei Yuansi tugged at Xuan Rui's arm, intending to tell her to leave the matter alone for now, but An Ling's shocked words left him speechless, unable to utter a single word.
My aunt actually had a relationship with Pei Jinhao!
Before marrying her uncle, her aunt's boyfriend was Pei Jinhao!
The An and Pei families: ? ? ?
[But they were dating secretly because Pei Jinhao had a bad reputation, and Xuan Rui's parents would never approve of them being together, so Xuan Rui didn't dare let her parents know.]
Later, the Xuan family arranged for her to meet her uncle on a blind date. She didn't dare disobey her parents' orders and married him. However, even after marriage, she maintained a relationship with Pei Jinhao for a long time!
The An and Pei families: !!!
