When they met again, the boss' eyes turned red, kissed her and said sweet words to her

The atmosphere in the spacious and bright restaurant was extremely quiet.

Everyone's eyes focused on Pei Zhuo.

Pei Zhuo loosened his clenched hands beneath the table, and adjusted his suit cuffs with graceful and calm movements. He looked up at Qin Shuang, a smile spreading across his gentle and handsome face. "Mom, this is my decision."

"The reason I didn't discuss this with you in advance is because I knew you wouldn't agree. I've been too busy these past few years and haven't had time to spend with Xiaoya properly, so I decided to make it up to her. She loves the culture and arts of Country R, ​​so I decided to live there with her permanently."

There was no sign of compulsion in his expression and tone.

Xu Nanyin couldn't help but be shocked. This person's on-the-spot reaction and disguise were so perfect that they were impeccable.

"I don't believe it! How could it happen so suddenly?"

Qin Shuang's eyes turned red with excitement. He grabbed Ye Qingrou's arm and yelled, "Your family bullied my son! Did you force him to do this?"

Ye Qingrou had just frowned when her arm loosened. Pei Muchuan immediately stood up and shook off Qin Shuang's arm. "Who are you yelling at? What nonsense are you doing!"

Meeting his stern gaze, Qin Shuang froze in shock, then burst into tears, "Dad, look at how powerful their family is! And yet you dare to ask Ah Zhuo to withdraw from the consortium? Will we still have a way to survive in the future..."

"Shut up!" Second Uncle scolded harshly, "You don't even listen to me now? Sit down and eat!"

Qin Shuang wiped her tears and walked out of the restaurant angrily.

"mom!"

Pei Yuning's eyes also turned red, and she looked at Pei Zhuo in confusion: "Brother, how could you do this? Are you really going to abandon us?" After that, she chased Qin Shuang out of the restaurant.

The servants carefully picked up the broken pieces of dishes on the floor.

Pei Zhuo stood up and looked at his second uncle: "Grandpa, I'll go see Mom and Ningning." Then he left the restaurant.

The restaurant fell silent again.

A trace of helplessness appeared on the old, wrinkled face of the Second Uncle. He sighed and looked at Pei Muchuan: "Muchuan, don't take Qin Shuang's words to heart. After all, we are still family."

"I'm old now, and the Pei family will have to rely on Jing Mo to support it. As for Ah Zhuo, I will let him stay in Country R. Let the past be the past."

No matter how strong a person is, he will eventually be unable to resist birth, old age, sickness and death.

Pei Muchuan looked into his uncle's cloudy eyes, which had completely lost their fighting spirit, and nodded, "Don't worry, uncle."

Only then did the second uncle slowly walk out of the door, leaning on his crutches.

Now only Pei Jingmo's family of four were left at the table, sitting side by side, with Pei Han sitting alone opposite them.

Pei Han must have realized that he was redundant. He moved around like a needle on his butt and finally stood up.

But he looked confused and asked vaguely, "Uncle, my dad had a car accident... is it really related to my eldest brother?"

Pei Muchuan glanced at him sternly: "What nonsense! How could such a scandal happen in our Pei family?"

Pei Han hesitated to speak, and finally left with his head down.

Xu Nanyin looked at the table full of cold dishes and sighed softly. It seemed that the truth behind Pei Rong's car accident would have to be buried. A wealthy and prestigious family like the Pei family could not afford the scandal of patricide.

But she had a vague feeling of unease in her heart, always feeling that this matter was not over yet.

Would a man as cunning, ruthless and ambitious as Pei Zhuo really be willing to give up?

The housekeeper came up and asked if the kitchen should prepare the food again.

Ye Qingrou stood up and said softly, "Yinyin, are you hungry? Do you want to eat the spinach and chicken noodles I made for you before?"

Xu Nanyin nodded naturally and intimately: "I want to eat."

"What about you?" Ye Qingrou looked at Pei Jingmo.

The mother and son had very similar eyebrows and eyes, and were extremely beautiful. Pei Jingmo smiled very politely: "Add me one, thank you, Madam Pei."

"it is good."

Ye Qingrou turned and walked towards the kitchen, but paused.

Pei Muchuan stood up quickly, his tall figure blocking her view. His face was dark as he stared at her without saying a word.

"Is there something wrong?" Ye Qingrou asked.

What else could it be?

Pei Muchuan's face became even darker. He glanced at the two younger ones. He was too embarrassed to ask Ye Qingrou for a bowl of noodles.

"I'll go help you in the kitchen."

It's okay for him to use his labor to buy himself a new set of bowls and chopsticks, right?

"I don't need help cooking noodles." Ye Qingrou refused bluntly.

Pei Muchuan insisted: "I can help you make something else."

A cold voice rang out: "Mr. Pei, you should learn flower arrangement. The kitchen is not for you. We can only eat the dishes you cook when we are completely anesthetized."

"..." Xu Nanyin lowered her head and tried to suppress her laughter.

"Rebellious son!" Pei Muchuan gritted his teeth in anger.

Pei Jingmo sneered, "Don't you remember when I was a kid, you fed me half-cooked green beans and I almost went to the underworld to seek refuge with my grandma?"

Then he began to think conspiratorially, and said slowly, "Could it be that you wanted to kill me to make room for your son who was raised outside?"

Ye Qingrou's calm eyes suddenly became rippled, and her clear gaze swept towards Pei Muchuan.

"Why are you looking at me?" Pei Muchuan frowned and laughed angrily: "Ye Qingrou, do you think I'm capable of doing that?"

Ye Qingrou turned away coldly and walked towards the kitchen.

Pei Muchuan pressed his temple in anger and said angrily, "You bastard! When did I start raising a baby outside? Did you just make one out of mud?"

"If I really had one, I'd kick you out right now! Make you sleep in the doghouse!"

Pei Jingmo was stunned and looked at him with a gloomy gaze.

Pei Muchuan turned around and left angrily.

"Mr. Pei means he doesn't have any illegitimate children!" Xu Nanyin tugged at Pei Jingmo's sleeve: "It seems you and Auntie have misunderstood?"

Pei Jingmo narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and snorted coldly: "I have seen that person with my own eyes, so what's the misunderstanding?"

upstairs.

Qin Shuang sat on the sofa, lowered her head and wiped her tears.

Pei Yuning sat beside her, sobbing on her shoulder, "Mom, big brother won't really abandon us and go to Country R."

"Big brother is the most powerful and capable. I think this might be a plan of him and grandpa. Let's just wait and see until big brother takes care of that family!"

"Really?" Qin Shuang asked in confusion.

"Knock knock!"

There was a knock on the door.

The door opened, and Pei Zhuo stood tall and straight at the door. He looked at the mother and daughter with a gentle gaze: "Mom, Ningning."

Qin Shuang's eyes were red and she turned away angrily.

Pei Yuning's face was full of anticipation: "Brother, you have your own plans, right? You don't really want to live in Country R permanently..."

"I will indeed live permanently in Country R in the future."

Pei Zhuo walked up to Qin Shuang slowly, half squatted down, and held her hand: "Mom, don't be angry. I was wrong for not discussing this with you in advance."

"Azhuo! Tell me, is someone forcing you to do this? I won't let you suffer any injustice, even if it means risking my life!"

“No one forced me.”

Pei Zhuo spoke warmly, "Jing Mo holds the vast majority of the power within the consortium. Those on the board don't dare challenge him. Although I've cultivated many people, once Jing Moyu and I fight to the death, the foundation of the consortium will be shaken. At that time, those outsiders who are eyeing it will definitely take advantage of the chaos to grab a piece of the pie."

"If we're not careful, the Pei family will suffer a heavy blow. We don't know what will happen to you, Ningning, and Ah Han. So, Grandpa and I discussed and decided that since the odds of winning are slim, it's better for me to withdraw early. This is the best option."

This set of convincing arguments successfully convinced Qin Shuang.

"But, are you willing to be suppressed by Jing Mo forever?" Qin Shuang couldn't help asking.

"Mom, if I tell you that I can live a good life by giving up everything and going to Country R, ​​will you support me?" Pei Zhuo asked.

Qin Shuang sighed and held his hands with both hands: "Forget it, Mom will listen to you. As long as you are not wronged and you live a good life, Mom will support your decision."

"Brother, although I am also unwilling, but since you said so, I support you." Pei Yuning said with red eyes: "But what if Mom and I miss you very much?"

Pei Zhuo stood up straight and patted her head. "Ningning, be good. Country R isn't far away. I'll apply for a special flight route so you and Mom can visit me anytime."

After comforting the mother and daughter, Pei Zhuo walked downstairs and met his second uncle who was waiting for him in the corridor with a cane.

Second Uncle asked, "Have you appeased your mother? What did you tell her?"
