Chapter 71 Don’t think about moral kidnapping
This kind of looking at each other lasted for about a minute.
Perhaps Pei Anzhu's clean clothes and decent manners directly exceeded the Pei family's original expectations for her, so that the head of the family, Pei Jinchang, softened a lot:
“It’s good when you’re back. Come sit down and eat first. We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”
“Sister-in-law Chen, get her a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then clean up a room and come out.”
He was willing to speak nicely to his daughter, even if she was not dressed in rags and her behavior was not timid.
It seems that it is not that unattractive.
If this is the case, then his plans and arrangements will be smoother.
Pei Jinchang’s words seemed to break the stagnant air, like a switch, causing Zhou Yalan to express her stance:
"Your name is Anzhu, right? I am your mother."
"Pei Yu." The young master next to him also spoke briefly and introduced himself.
Pei Anzhu looked at these three people, and they all seemed to have a friendly attitude. There was no such scene as "looking down on the country bumpkin's real daughter, so he looked bored and had an impatient attitude".
Even Pei Yu is different from his brothers in the True and False Qian Jin Wen.
At least he didn’t warn her harshly:
"I only have one sister, Pei Mingzhu. You'd better remember your identity clearly."
Looks quite normal.
However, this kind of friendliness is just an appearance.
None of them left their chairs—
If a family truly feels sorry for their biological daughter who is suffering away from home, they will inevitably relax and cry with joy when they see their biological daughter return to the family.
Either give your daughter who has just returned a hug to let her feel the warmth of her relatives.
Or guiltily ask her how she is doing outside and let her know how she feels about making amends.
Even if they have never gotten along, normal parents would not have this attitude:
Polite and unfamiliar.
It was as if this was not their daughter, but a guest from afar, but because this guest was still useful to them, they had to brace themselves to deal with it.
What's more, Pei Jinchang also ordered his servants to clean up a room. If he really expected his daughter's return, this room should be prepared early.
In just a few moments, Pei Anzhu figured out the family's attitude.
Her eyes swept over the faces of these three people, and she saw their faces clearly, and then she became more determined, so she said:
“Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei, Master Pei.”
“There are no outsiders here, so let’s open the skylight and speak openly. I’m not here to recognize my relatives, but to repay you for the gift of childbirth.”
“Mrs. Pei was pregnant for ten months, brought me into this world, and gave me life. I recognize this kindness and must repay it. As for the rest, let’s not get involved too much.”
“You may not want to recognize me, a daughter who comes from a rural background and is not on the stage, and I don’t want to have relatives like you who are not familiar with me.”
"If you have anything you need me to do, you can just say it. Within my ability, as long as it doesn't violate the law, doesn't violate morality, and doesn't have a negative impact on society, I'm willing to do my best to help."
“But after helping you this time, the relationship between me and you has ended, and the cause and effect have ended. I wonder what you think?”
While Pei Anzhu was speaking, the Pei family had already put down their chopsticks. Pei Yu frowned slightly, as if he couldn't guess what she was thinking. After all, the daughter of the Pei family had a high status, so there were still people who didn't want her?
Zhou Yalan's face was full of astonishment. She had never expected that her biological daughter who had been found would not want to recognize her, which made her a little sad and her eyes were red.
As for Pei Jinchang, his face has darkened:
"Do you know what you are talking about? You actually want to sever ties with the Pei family?"
“As the daughter of the Pei family, since I have received this surname, I must be prepared to sacrifice for the interests of the Pei family. Don’t forget, only when the Pei family remains standing can we provide shelter to you, the descendants of the Pei family!”
Pei Anzhu's expression was hard to describe. He endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back anymore:
“Why are you so thick-skinned? It’s as thick as a piece of meat!”
"What do you mean by severing ties with the Pei family? I have nothing to do with your Pei family at all. If you hadn't come to visit me, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with you at all."
“Also, is the surname Pei very powerful? Are you the only one with the surname Pei in the world? Everyone with the surname Pei must obey your arrangements?”
"Who am I to be your Pei family's daughter? I haven't eaten a grain of rice from your Pei family, I haven't spent a penny from your Pei family, and I haven't enjoyed any of your Pei family's resources. Why should I sacrifice for your benefit?"
“As for asylum? Come on.”
“In the past twenty years or so, I have grown up well without your protection, right?”
"Don't slap yourself in the face and pretend to be fat. At best, you just had a good time more than 20 years ago and provided a sperm. You didn't suffer the pain of being pregnant for ten months or the burden of raising a daughter. What qualifications do you have to speak nonsense in front of me?”
“I am willing to negotiate terms with you in a good manner and repay you for the gift of childbirth. You should accept it as soon as possible. Don’t try to kidnap me morally based on the blood relationship on Weibo.”
Pei Anzhu has never had a good temper.
Originally, she thought that since these wealthy families wanted to save face and acted tactfully, and did not want to leave a scandal to outsiders, she could negotiate with them.
I didn’t expect that…
Zhou Yalan saw that Pei Jinchang was being criticized, and quickly launched a gentle policy, saying:
"Anzhu, you are our daughter, and you are the real daughter of the Pei family. We finally got you back, how can we cut you off in two?"
“You have suffered a lot these years outside without enough food or clothing, right? Don’t worry, it won’t happen again. Mom gives you a lot of pocket money every month, so you can buy whatever you want.”
“Let’s not say those angry words. Please sit down and have a nice meal with us, okay?”
Pei Anzhu shook his head slowly, with a firm attitude:
"not good."
"Mrs. Pei, I have made it very clear. I will do one thing for you to repay you for the gift of having children. I will not talk about anything else."
"As for what you said... I did have a difficult life in the past, but that is in the past. No matter how difficult the days are, I have come through them. Now that I have grown up, I have the ability to earn money to support myself, even if I am not as good as you. Rich and famous ladies spend a lot of money, but at least they have enough food and clothing.”
“I want nothing from you, so you can expect nothing from me.”
“I’ve said this, I won’t eat anymore, and there’s no need to clean up the room. I won’t stay here. If you think about it, please ask Mr. Chen to contact me.”
After saying this, Pei Anzhu turned around and left without hesitation.
She doesn't have much, just a suitcase and a backpack. Considering her strength, this baggage is light.
However, to get out of Pei's house, you need to get to the gate of the villa area, and you have to leave the entire villa area before you can get a taxi. She can only walk this way.
