Chapter 99: Little Aunt.099

Chapter 99

Song Linchuan clearly remembered the three questions Pei Kuang had asked him over the phone that day.

- What would your first reaction be if you saw your sister/aunt being confessed to by a guy?

- What if it was a girl you liked that was being confessed to?

- What do you think of me as a person?

At first, Song didn't think much about connecting these questions, but now, even someone as dense as Song understood what they implied.

If he had guessed correctly, the first two questions were to help this jerk sort out his feelings for his aunt.

As for the third question, what had he answered at the time?

That's right, back then Pei had just been slandered by his mother, and he had tried to comfort him by saying only praiseworthy things about him!!

"Let me put it this way, people I truly respect from the bottom of my heart are rare in this world, but you, Pei Kuang, are one of them."

"You've got the looks, the capability, good character, and decent temper..."

So it turned out he had given this jerk the courage to pursue his aunt!

Thinking of this, Song Linchuan felt awful, his face alternating between green and white.

After a long pause, Song suddenly looked up at Pei with determination in his eyes: "I've made up my mind, I'll take your advice."

Pei was stunned for a moment, what advice?

Song didn't even give him a chance to react before striding over.

He grabbed Pei by the collar with one hand and pulled him close, while swinging with full force at his abdomen with the other.

Pei let out a muffled grunt as pain instantly spread through his body and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Damn! Song really held nothing back with that punch.

Before Pei could recover, Song's fist swung at him again, his feet not idle either.

Pei didn't fight back at all, only occasionally raising his hands on instinct to block when Song lost control and aimed at his face.

The fight ended with both sprawled on the floor, Pei from the beating and Song because he was exhausted from doling it out before lying down himself.

The two lay side by side staring at the ceiling in silence for a good while.

Pei turned his body and said softly, "Linchuan, I'm serious."

Song glared at him irritably, "No kidding, if you weren't serious, you wouldn't still be alive and talking right now after the beating I gave you."

He had to admit, ever since learning Pei had seduced his aunt away, aside from anger, Song had never doubted Pei's motives.

This showed Song's confidence in Pei's character.

Perhaps letting off steam helped settle his rage. Right now, Song was much calmer.

"What were you thinking that day?" Lying on his back staring at the ceiling, he asked.

Pei frowned, "Which day?"

Song glared at him impatiently, "What other day could it be?"

"The day you realized you harbored indecent thoughts about my aunt, what exactly were you thinking?"

Just thinking he had egged this jerk on made his blood boil.

Understanding now, Pei said, "What was I thinking...if I'm being honest, I was actually quite insecure."

Seeing them come out, Song Anan hurried over from the bench looking worried.

She inspected Pei first to make sure he was unharmed.

Pei smiled and shook his head to indicate he was fine and not to worry.

Song witnessed their interaction and gave a cold snort before asking, "Auntie, what did my parents say and where are they now?"

Coming back to herself, Song Anan quickly replied, "Sister-in-law called me to say they'll arrive soon and shared their real-time location. See?"

She held out her phone to show him.

Song glanced at it and nodded, "Okay, their location is close. Let's go to the gate to meet them since they can't get in."

Naturally, Song Anan had no objections. She had been watching their location and if they went now, they'd likely meet them at the gate.

But just then, Pei suddenly spoke up, "You two go back first, I won't be joining for now."

Song frowned at him puzzled, what did he mean?

Abandoning his aunt to face this alone, was he a turtle retreating into his shell?!

Where was his backbone as a man?

Seeing his misunderstanding, Pei quickly explained, "Your parents rushed over worried, your family should talk at this time. My presence might be inappropriate. I'll come pay my respects tomorrow."

"Of course, if uncle and aunt wish to see me, I'm available anytime."

Song wasn't stupid and immediately grasped Pei's intent.

He had to admit, this jerk had good judgement when dealing with people.

With Song Anan in tow, Song rushed to the gate to meet his parents.

Ten minutes later, the Song family gathered in Song's living room.

Song Zhenhui and Zhao Ya sat on the sofa with stern expressions, while Song Linchuan and Song An'an sat on the other side.

Upholding the Song family's policy of "leniency for those who confess," Song An'an truthfully confessed her relationship with Pei Kuang.

Upon hearing that the two had been together for so long, Song Zhenhui assumed a stern, parental air and slammed the table, shouting, "Hiding a relationship from your family for so long is simply outrageous!"

Song An'an was so startled that her neck involuntarily shrank back.

Seeing his father's reaction, Song Linchuan instantly became unhappy.

He reached out and pulled Song An'an behind him protectively, yelling at Song Zhenhui, "Dad, what are you doing? It's modern times, people date freely now. Why are you getting angry at my aunt?"

Song An'an quickly tugged at Song Linchuan's shirt and whispered, "Linchuan, don't talk back to your brother."

She was worried it would implicate her.

In the Song family, whether towards Song Linchuan or Song An'an, Song Zhenhui always played the role of the "strict father."

Having grown up fearing her elder brother more than her own father, Song An'an shrunk back instinctively, although he had never really scolded her.

While Song Linchuan's words alone might have been fine, talking back completely put him in Song Zhenhui's crosshairs.

Originally reluctant to scold Song An'an, now Song Zhenhui immediately turned his anger on Song Linchuan: "You still have the nerve to speak? If you hadn't brought the wolf into our home, would your aunt have been led astray? I haven't even settled scores with you yet, and you dare make a fuss here!"

Song Linchuan's momentum instantly diminished. "You... you can't put it like that. My aunt was bound to date eventually, you can't stop her!"

Hearing this made Song Zhenhui even angrier. He coldly laughed, "Even if I can't stop her, at least I wouldn't have delivered your aunt to another man with my own hands."

Song Linchuan: "......"

He really was his father - he knew how to stab him where it hurt!!
