Chapter 105: The temptation of a fake daughter
Pei Mingzhu had just taken a sip of tea, but before she could swallow it, she almost spit it out after hearing these words.
Fortunately, the demeanor of a wealthy daughter trained over many years allowed her to hold back. She tried to calm down her mood, swallowed the sip of tea, and then raised her head to look at Pei Anzhu—
Hand without powder, it is still stunning.
Although she looks somewhat similar to her adoptive mother Zhou Yalan, she looks brighter and more charming than her adoptive mother. As the name suggests, she is like a green bamboo planted neatly.
It's just that Pei Mingzhu doesn't seem to be used to the opponent playing such a straight ball.
After all, in a wealthy family with complicated relationships, speaking in a roundabout way is an essential social skill. Sometimes a sentence has several meanings, and how many levels you can understand depends on your own understanding.
Pei Mingzhu sighed secretly and said:
"I heard that Butler Chen took you back, but you didn't live at home. I wonder where you live now? Yuncheng is a first-tier city, and housing prices are high. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, I am willing help you."
“After all, I have occupied your identity for more than twenty years. No matter what, I am sorry for you. If there is anything you can do to help, you must not be polite to me.”
Pei Anzhu looked at Pei Mingzhu, whose expression was very sincere.
But she was proficient in the art of fortune telling, and through her facial features, she could see that Pei Mingzhu was not such a generous person, but now he came to show his kindness, fearing that he had other motives.
Thinking of this, Pei Anzhu just pretended that he knew nothing and remained unchanged in response to all changes, saying:
“Thank you, but no need.”
"I don't care why you are looking for me today, whether you are afraid that I will return to the Pei family and steal your parents and favor, or whether you really want to make up for me, I don't care."
"Because I made it clear to them on the first day I arrived at the Pei family. I don't plan to have too much contact with the Pei family."
"If you really want to help me, then please go back and persuade them to let me return the favor of having children as soon as possible. It would be best if we don't owe each other anything from now on."
After hearing this, Pei Mingzhu’s eyes widened in disbelief:
"We don't owe each other? Don't you yearn for the wealth of the Pei family? When you return to the Pei family, you will be the daughter of the wealthy family. Your status and status will be different. No matter what you do in the future, it will be smoother."
“I don’t need it.” Pei Anzhu shook his head.
At this moment, Pei Mingzhu was really speechless. She felt that she was ready to test her. Before she could open her mouth, Pei Anzhu blocked her.
She actually wanted to increase her understanding of the real daughter through her conversation with Pei Anzhu, so that she could deal with it in the Pei family in the future.
But who knows, I have no intention of going back to Pei's house at all.
"Well...well then." Pei Mingzhu temporarily stopped her probing thoughts and said, "I will be discharged from the hospital today. After I go back, I will have a good chat with my parents."
“Thank you.” Pei Anzhu remained motionless.
Pei Mingzhu was unwilling to give in and said again:
"But I think your parents must really want to take you back. Don't you really want to go back and reunite with your family? Give them a chance to make up for you."
Pei Anzhu's expression was hard to describe, and she said:
"Let's not talk secretly. Do you think Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei are the kind of people you say? Miss Pei Mingzhu, I am very accurate in judging people, so you don't have to test them in front of me. I won't go back." Just don't go back. If you care about Miss Pei's identity, you can keep it to yourself. I don't care. "
"Okay, then I'll leave first." Pei Mingzhu said, "This tea restaurant is a chain. I have a card with them, and the money for tea is debited to my account. If you like, you can sit down again."
After saying this, Pei Mingzhu left.
She felt that she had been tempted to be lonely, and this true daughter was too indifferent.
After walking out of the tea restaurant, Pei Mingzhu did not go back to the hospital. She just made a phone call to inform the other party that she was discharged from the hospital, and then returned to the Junlintianxia villa area.
When I got home, Pei Jinchang and Zhou Yalan were both there, and Pei Yu was also there.
"Mingzhu? Why did you come back alone?" Zhou Yalan saw her and hurriedly came up to her, pulling her around and looking around, "Why didn't you call mom so we could pick you up?"
“Have you recovered?” Pei Jinchang asked. If Pei Anzhu were here, he would definitely sigh:
This is the attitude that parents should have towards their daughter, caring and nervous at the same time, instead of being polite and distant like they were towards her.
Pei Mingzhu smiled and took Zhou Yalan's arm, pulling her to sit on the sofa:
“Mom, Dad, brother, I’m fine now. I’ve had the doctor conduct a comprehensive check-up and make sure there are no problems before I’m discharged. You don’t have to worry.”
“And I’m an adult now, so I can go home by myself.”
"Even if you grow up, you are still our child." Zhou Yalan said, "Isn't it right for us to worry about you?"
Pei Mingzhu found out that when she came back this time, her parents did not alienate her because she was not her biological child, which made her relieved.
She thought of Pei Anzhu, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
“I met Pei Anzhu in the hospital today. She went to see the grandfather who adopted her, and we met and chatted for a while.”
When Pei Anzhu's name was mentioned, everyone's faces turned ugly.
Pei Jinchang asked:
"What did she say? Did she say anything bad to you, blaming you for taking her identity?"
"That's not the case." Pei Mingzhu shook his head, "She said that she didn't want to have anything to do with our family, and she asked me to come back and persuade you to let her repay her kindness as soon as possible, and we will not owe each other anything."
After hearing this, Pei Yu sneered and said:
“Dad, since she is so ignorant, why not just follow her wishes.”
"Anyway, we brought her back because she is useful, isn't it? She also said that as long as it does not violate the law and morality, she is willing to do anything within her ability."
"In that case, it's better to let her marry the Feng family directly. Since we can deal with the Feng family for us, we don't have to worry about offending such a top wealthy family, and we don't have to let Mingzhu suffer this grievance."
Pei Mingzhu was immediately surprised when she heard this:
“Marriage with the Feng family? Is it the Feng family at the top of the Yuncheng pyramid?”
“Of course, there is no other Feng family in the world.” Pei Yu nodded.
“The marriage partner is the second young master?” Pei Mingzhu asked again.
“It’s not Feng Jingrun, it’s Feng Jinglan.”
After hearing this, Pei Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. She lowered her head, hid the look in her eyes, and asked in a curious tone:
“Why is our family suddenly getting married to the Feng family?”
"Don't top wealthy families like the Feng family always look for marriage partners among the three families of Shen, Gu, and Qin? Even the eldest young master of the Feng family will not look for someone from our family."
Pei Mingzhu's words were implicit, but she was actually saying that the status of the Pei family was far worse than that of the Feng family, and they were not worthy of marrying into the Feng family.
This is an indisputable fact, so Pei Jinchang was not very angry. He only said:
"Sooner or later you will know about this matter, so I will tell you about it while we are here today."
“To call it a marriage is actually a decent way of saying it. What the Feng family is really looking for is a happy bride. I heard that the old lady of the Feng family, who has been away from home for a long time, personally found someone to settle the matter.”
“We calculated the most suitable horoscope for the eldest son of the Feng family, screened the singles and unmarried women of the right age from all over the country, and finally found our family.”
"Originally, the person who was supposed to celebrate the wedding was Mingzhu, but because of Mingzhu's life experience, the horoscope may not match your birth date, so we brought Pei Anzhu back."
So, strictly speaking, the auspicious horoscope calculated by the Feng family belongs to Pei Anzhu.
The Pei family rushed to recognize Pei Anzhu for this reason.
