Chapter 151 Do illegitimate children really exist?
Pei Jingmo chuckled lightly: "I'm not sure, but it seems that she is the one that Mr. Pei favors the most among my many stepmothers?"
Xu Nanyin bit the kernel of a pistachio and tugged at his sleeve, "Just speak properly."
Pei Jingmo pinched her fair face and said, "I really don't know. Who would have the patience to understand the lover that their useless father has outside?"
“However, understanding your partners is a must.”
He suddenly added this sentence. Xu Nanyin was just feeling strange when she heard him say, "When Lin Fu approached me for cooperation, I investigated her. Coincidentally, this Cheng Yu is her cousin. That's all. I don't know more than that."
Xu Nanyin nodded and couldn't help asking, "And... does that so-called illegitimate child really exist? I feel like my uncle is really attentive to my aunt. Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Pei Jingmo curled his lips coldly: "It exists, I'm keeping it quietly, and the person is in Wucheng."
Xu Nanyin:?
How could Pei Muchuan have the nerve to act like he cared about his aunt? Was he worthy?
"Auntie seems very unhappy..."
She didn't know if she was too sensitive. Although Ye Qingrou looked like a wealthy and noble lady, she always felt that there was a kind of sad and numb silence in Ye Qingrou's eyes.
That lifeless feeling was even worse than the years she had spent in Cloud City.
"Auntie must have gone through a lot of painful and difficult days to be like this..."
The more she guessed, the more distressed she felt, and Xu Nanyin couldn't help but have red eyes.
Pei Jingmo stood under a cedar tree covered with snow, with its green branches vaguely visible. His slender figure was a little stiff, and his tall nose was red from the cold.
He put his hands in his pockets, lowered his eyes, and his thick black eyelashes trembled. He let out a long breath: "Mrs. Pei and I... are not very familiar with each other, so I don't know. She didn't give me a chance to understand."
"I am quite sure that Auntie loves you very much."
Xu Nanyin reached into his trouser pocket, held his hand, and said anxiously, "Didn't you notice? Auntie usually doesn't wear any jewelry, but she's wearing the pearl necklace you gave her."
"Also, I can feel that Auntie loves me very much, so she will love you even more, because she loves everyone in her family. You said Auntie is alienating you, she must have a reason..."
Pei Jingmo shook his head and chuckled, a trace of confusion rarely seen in his eyes: "Really?"
In the white snow, the atmosphere was silent.
It started snowing again.
Xu Nanyin sneezed and couldn't help but shrink her neck. The next second, she was embraced in a warm and broad embrace.
Pei Jingmo opened his black coat and wrapped it around her chest, "Dear, come back to the house."
Xu Nanyin looked up at his fair and clear face. His beautiful eyes were dim. She frowned and hugged his waist tightly with both hands. "Don't be unhappy, okay? The knot between you and Auntie will be untied sooner or later."
Raising his eyebrows and chuckling, Pei Jingmo lowered his head and slowly pressed his thin lips against hers, just as he was about to go deeper...
"Wang..."
The loud barking of dogs was heard.
Xu Nanyin subconsciously stepped away from his arms and turned her head, only to see a colorful little Pomeranian wearing a colorful beret and running towards her in the snow with its short legs clanging.
"You dead dog! Stop! Can't you see my brother is kissing?" Lu Ye, wrapped like a bear in a black down jacket, chased after him.
Rainbow Fart ran to Xu Nanyin's feet and circled around her happily.
Xu Nanyin smiled and half-knelt down, touching its colorful fur, pulling the beret on its head, and praising it: "It's so beautiful, rainbow fart."
Rainbow fart's two black eyes narrowed with joy, and his little head kept sticking to her calves: Beautiful women's words are so pleasant to hear, beautiful women, stick with me!
Lu Ye, who had chased after it, grabbed it by the scruff of the neck and made a gesture of invitation to Pei Jingmo, "Brother, keep kissing, keep going."
Pei Jingmo kicked him on the calf and said angrily, "Why did you come here?"
Lu Ye smiled and said, "Hehe."
Pei Jingmo tutted in disdain, "Your father kicked you out of the house again?"
"No! How is that possible!" Lu Ye coughed and said stubbornly, "I can just walk out of the house by myself!"
"Brother! I just miss you! I want to set off fireworks with you on New Year's Eve!"
As Lu Ye was about to give him a bear hug, Pei Jingmo covered his face with his hands and pushed him away.
Master Pei crossed his arms, trying to figure out whether to laugh or not: "Heh."
"Are you thinking about the black card in my pocket?"
"Can people trust each other a little more?" Lu Ye raised five fingers and swore, "I really am not! Otherwise..."
He pointed at the rainbow fart and said, "Otherwise, it will lose all its hair at a young age..."
The rainbow farts that were happily surrounding Xu Nanyin suddenly shuddered, turned around and yelled at him fiercely: You're the one who lost all your hair! You're such a bitch!
Lu Ye smiled flatteringly and walked up to Xu Nanyin, "Sister-in-law, I miss you so much. Of course, I miss you too..."
Just as he finished speaking, he was kicked hard on the buttocks and fell forward.
Pei Jingmo tutted his words and asked with a forced smile, "Say it again, who are you thinking of?"
Lu Ye ate a mouthful of snow, spit out two mouthfuls, turned his head and looked at his brother Mo crying: "Brother, you, you are a jealous old man!"
Xu Nanyin looked at Lu Ye's funny look with snow covering his eyes, eyebrows and nose, and burst out laughing.
The next second, Lu Ye got up from the ground, made a snowball in his hand and threw it at Pei Jingmo.
Pei Jingmo was caught off guard by a snowball hitting his chest. He brushed it off lightly with his slender, cold white fingertips, leaving a few wet marks on his black coat. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Lu Ye, are you itching for trouble?"
Lu Ye said excitedly, "Brother, let's have a snowball fight!"
"Go away. How old are you?"
Lu Ye's eyes rolled, and he suddenly made a snowball from the ground and threw it at Xu Nanyin's arm.
The snowball was quite small and didn't hurt at all, but Xu Nanyin still cooperated and looked at Pei Jingmo with grievance: "Husband, he hit me."
Master Pei raised his eyebrows, and a sneer appeared on his elegant and handsome face: "Lu Ye, are you tired of living?"
He half-knelt on the ground, quickly rolled up a huge snowball with his hands, and pretended to raise it to throw it at Lu Ye.
"Fuck!"
Lu Ye was so frightened that he ran and hid.
Pei Jingmo took a step with his long legs, tossing snowballs in his left and right hands, and followed leisurely behind, like an experienced hunter chasing a small animal.
After a while, Lu Ye was hit on the leg by a ball and fell to the ground in the snow. Master Pei went up to him and beat him.
Lu Ye's howling could be heard from far away, but he still refused to give in and grabbed the snow on the ground and threw it at Pei Jingmo's face.
Laughing until she was out of breath, Xu Nanyin squatted down and clenched her little paws, saying, "We can't be like your master, who is both naive and playful, right?"
Rainbow fart jumped for joy: What the beauty said is right!
The next day is New Year's Day.
The banquet had been prepared in the old house for more than half a month, and the guests began to be welcomed at noon.
Luxury cars stopped one after another at the gate of the old house.
Xu Nanyin changed into her dress and was caught by Qin Shuang as soon as she went downstairs.
"Niece-in-law, please go to the gate and help greet the guests." Qin Shuang spoke in a tone of instructing the younger generation.
Xu Nanyin glanced at her 7cm stilettos. If she stood there for hours, her feet would be terribly sore. Besides, she wasn't familiar with the customers to begin with. Qin Shuang was deliberately making things difficult for her.
She was just thinking of an excuse to refuse when she saw Ye Qingrou walking towards her.
Ye Qingrou said calmly, "Our Yinyin won't go, so let your Yu Ning go."
Qin Shuang sneered: "Sister-in-law, I was just about to ask you to come with me. This is the first time you have returned to the old house in recent years. It would be inappropriate for you not to go to such a grand occasion."
"I'm not going. I don't want to go." Ye Qingrou said.
"Sister-in-law, you are Madam Pei..."
"I don't have to be Madam Pei." Ye Qingrou glanced at Pei Muchuan who was walking towards them from a distance, and told Qin Shuang expressionlessly, "If you're not satisfied, go and ask him to divorce me."
Then he took Xu Nanyin's hand and turned to leave.
Qin Shuang was stunned, his face turning pale and blue with anger.
Has Ye Qingrou become a different person? She used to be such a softie, but now she's so arrogant?!
Seeing Pei Muchuan approaching, Qin Shuang was annoyed. "Brother, you really should control your sister-in-law. She has no intention of greeting the guests and fulfilling her duties as a host in such a grand occasion."
Pei Muchuan glanced at her and asked, "Why? Are we short of a doorman or a housekeeper? Do we really need her to go in person?"
"But, my sister-in-law has such a bad temper now, she's just being unreasonable and willful..."
"I'm used to it." Pei Muchuan put his hands in his pockets, his handsome face still brimming with dignity. He asked her, "Do you have any objections?"
