Chapter 80: Offended

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Pei family’s business situation was on the decline.

Once Ling Xue and Lu Li get married, they would be able to facilitate cooperation between the Lu Family and the Pei Family, which would help the Pei Family reach a new high.

Therefore, Mr. Pei could not afford to offend Lu Huai.

“I didn’t expect you to be interested in this piece of land,” Mr. Pei immediately smiled and greeted Lu Huai.

Lu Huai looked at Mr. Pei coldly. “I’m not interested in this piece of land. I’m here to look for Pei Xin.”

“What’s your relationship with Pei Xin?” Pei Xin’s father was surprised.

Mrs. Pei was also very confused and shocked. She said in a sharp voice, “What is Pei Xin to you? Why is she worth your time to be here?”

Pei Yu was equally shocked.

Lu Huai smiled. “Because Lu Li has hurt Pei Xin many times. As his brother, I have the responsibility to compensate Pei Xin on his behalf. So if I see anyone bullying Pei Xin, 1 won’t let them off.”

Mr. and Mrs. Pei were dumbfounded.

Pei Yu clenched his fists tightly. ‘Pei Xin must be really good at seducing men. Even though she’s covered in scars, she can still manage to trick others.’

Not only did Li Ze and Jiang Yan speak up for her, but Lu Huai also appeared.

How many trump cards did Pei Xin have?

The smile on Mr. Pei’s face was a little stiff. At this moment, he did not know what to say to ease the awkwardness.

Fortunately, the organizer stood up in time to announce that the auction was about to begin.

Everyone sat down according to their seats.

Pei Yu and the others came suddenly, and the organizers did not specially arrange seats for them. Therefore, the three of them stood awkwardly at the side.

Lu Huai ignored them and sat beside Pei Xin.

The rich people in Haicheng had seen enough of the commotion, so they immediately spread the news.

[Pei Xin is really capable. She actually has Li Ze, Jiang Yan, and Lu Huai protecting her. Even if she’s not a real daughter, you can’t offend her in the future.]

[The Pei family was humiliated in public. What a good show. I heard that the Pei family and the Lu family were on par. Now, it seems that the Lu family far surpasses the Pei family.]

[I heard that Lu Li came to find trouble with Pei Xin yesterday but was stopped by Lu Huai. The two brothers don’t get along. Will there be any changes in the Lu Family?]

The rich people speculated and tried to find out something.

When everyone looked at Pei Xin, she was seen in a new light.

Even though this woman had been in prison, she had changed the relationship between several aristocratic families.

The auction officially began.

Everything went according to Pei Xin’s plan. She called out the price at the right time and finally helped the two of them win this piece of land.

The three members of the Pei family watched the entire scene from a corner.

Mr. Pei was surprised.

The Pei Xin from five years ago had already lost her former glory and confidence.

However, the Pei Xin they knew seemed to have returned. She looked confident and calm.

Mr. Pei couldn’t help but think.

Why was Pei Xin being taken care of by Lu Huai? Could it be that Lu Huai was interested in Pei Xin?

She did not think that Lu Huai would marry Pei Xin as his wife. After all, Pei Xin’s status was not high enough. However, what if Lu Huai wanted to raise Pei Xin like a canary?

The Pei Xin of the past, under their nurturing, shone brightly and was the most outstanding woman wherever she went.

Back then, Pei Xin’s scandal ruined the Pei family’s plan of flying high. They invested so much into her and didn’t expect it to backfire.

Now that this Pei Xin was different, Mr. Pei had other thoughts.

“Let’s not make things difficult for Pei Xin for the time being. 1 want to see how capable she is.”

Mrs. Pei was immediately unhappy when she heard this. She looked at her husband unhappily. “Are you really Ling Xue’s father? Ling Xue has suffered so much. She took away the love and happiness that Ling Xue should have had. Why should we forgive her?”

Pei Yu only frowned but did not speak.

Her mother had not been in the business world for many years and was used to living with the rich. She paid more attention to family ties and had become less interested in the pursuit of interests in the business world..
