When Luo Huai saw Pei Youyou return, it wasn't that she wanted to pay attention, but the way Pei Youyou looked at her through the crowd always sent chills down her spine.

Then, Pei Youyou went to see Xing's mother. After saying something, someone came to find Xing Yanzhao, saying that Madam Xing wanted to see him.

Xing Yanzhao wanted to take Luo Huai with him.

The man said that Madam Xing only called him.

Xing Yanzhao immediately said, "I'm not going."

The messenger: "..."

Luo Huai nudged him: "Go ahead, I'll stay here, I'm not going anywhere, there are so many people here."

Xing Yanzhao thought about it and agreed. He specifically told Kuang Ye to keep an eye on Luo Huai before heading towards Xing's mother's side.

The lobby was too crowded.

Xing's mother called Xing Yanzhao outside and said in the cold wind, "What happened today was my fault. I apologize to you. I didn't consider you and Luo Huai."

“You’re also a member of the Xing family, so you definitely don’t want anyone talking about our Xing family behind our backs. You can stay with Luo Huai by my side for a while later.”

"You're putting on a show for others." Xing Yanzhao ruthlessly exposed her thoughts. He had no idea why she would suddenly apologize; it turned out it involved her own reputation and the reputation of the Xing family.

Xing's mother's face turned ashen.

And yet, he couldn't bring himself to say anything wrong.

"Yanzhao, why do you have to say hurtful things?"

"Why do you have to do things that hurt people?" Xing Yanzhao said indifferently.

Xing's mother said, "No matter what, I'm still your mother, I..."

"It's like I'm not your own son." Xing Yanzhao turned and left.

Then Xing's mother called him back.

She was truly at her wit's end. If word got out about what happened today, and Tang Zhu added fuel to the fire with her words, she would be utterly humiliated.

Old Xing would talk about her.

Her in-laws would also call her over to give her a lecture.

There weren't so many problems before. With Zheng Yu around, everyone would only praise her. But once her son came back, her life started to fall apart.

Today, even the way her daughter looks at her has changed.

"Yanzhao, how can you be so heartless?" Xing's mother said. "Even Yurou knows to give her mother face, how come you are not even as good as her?"

Xing Yanzhao turned and left.

Xing's mother's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

When he returned, he didn't see Luo Huai, so he turned to Kuangye and asked, "Where's your sister-in-law?"

"The restroom." Kuangye slightly raised his chin, pointing in the direction of the restroom.

Just then, Yu Bosen returned.

He asked in alarm, "Which bathroom did Brother Xing's wife go to?"

“That one outside,” Kuangye said, scrutinizing him. “What’s with that expression? Is that restroom unusable?”

"Something's going to happen! Something's going to happen! Let's go, we have to get there right now!" Yu Bosen rushed ahead.

Seeing that things were not going well, Xing Yanzhao and Kuang Ye also went over.

He asked, "What happened to his mother? Tell me!"

“Pei Youyou put something in my wine glass. I handed the glass to Pei Yuanzhou, but I was afraid that Pei Yuanzhou would ruin my grandfather’s birthday banquet, so I told him that if he wanted me to stop mentioning Pei Youyou, he should go outside for twenty minutes. I think he would realize it and go to the hospital.”

"No, I already told everyone that people aren't allowed to go there, so why did Brother Xing's wife still go?"

Wilderness: "You fucking told me too late, bro!"

Xing Yanzhao rushed over.

Then they saw Pei Yuanzhou drag Luo Huai into the bathroom.

Luo Huai, her face filled with terror, struggled and asked, "Pei Yuanzhou, what are you doing? Let me go!"

She watched helplessly as Pei Yuanzhou, his eyes red, was about to kiss her.

She slapped him across the face.

Xing Yanzhao kicked the cubicle door again, and the door panel slammed directly into Pei Yuanzhou's back.

Luo Huai was dragged out.

Xing Yanzhao, radiating a fierce aura, said to Kuangye, "Take Luo Huai away from here."

Luo Huai was still in shock.

The broken door panel was pushed against the doorway again, standing shakily.

The sound of someone being hit could be heard coming from inside.

Almost every punch landed squarely.

Kuangye then said to Yu Bosen, "You take your sister-in-law and leave. I need to stop my brother, or someone will die."

Luo Huai was dragged out.

The noise coming from the bathroom was even louder.

A moment later, the person came out. Kuangye was still trying to persuade them and break up the fight, but he was pushed and his waist hit the sink, making him yell "Damn it!" in pain.

Xing Yanzhao grabbed Pei Yuanzhou by the collar, forced him into the sink, turned on the tap, and poured icy cold water over his head.

Pei Yuanzhou was in a sorry state.

Xing Yanzhao held him so tightly that he couldn't move an inch, and even when Pei Yuanzhou had difficulty breathing several times, he refused to let go.

"Are you awake now? Are you more awake now?!" The man exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.

The chill was even more biting than this winter.

The last time Kuangye saw his brother so angry was when the old lady was hospitalized after the car accident. If the Xing family hadn't had servants and bodyguards, they wouldn't have been able to restrain his brother.

He can't hold them back by himself now.

"Yu Bosen, aren't you going to help?! If this continues, Pei Yuanzhou will fucking die here!"

Yu Bosen quickly went up to help pull the person away.

Luo Huai was still trembling all over. Hearing the noise, he went over as well, also afraid that something might happen, and went with them to pull people away.

He also tripped and fell.

Wilderness: "Bro, look closely, you knocked down the locust tree!"

Xing Yanzhao seemed to turn around only then, and seeing Luo Huai, who had fallen to the ground, get up again, his violent aura subsided a little.

"Brother Zhao, you arrived just in time. I'm fine. Let go of him. If something happens to him, you'll go to jail. What will I do if you go to jail?" Luo Huai's fear was finally revealed at this moment, and his eyes suddenly reddened.

Xing Yanzhao was afraid she would cry.

He stopped immediately.

Yu Bosen and Kuang Ye quickly pulled Pei Yuanzhou out of the water. His face was flushed red, possibly due to the effects of the medicine, or perhaps because he had been holding his breath to stay alive.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

They didn't care that he was sitting on the ground, soaking wet.

Xing Yanzhao reached out and pulled Luo Huai, whose eyes were red, into his arms, his voice low and deep: "I scared you."

"I scared you," Luo Huai said in a muffled voice.

A commotion came from not far away.

It seems someone is coming.

Yu Bosen immediately said, "Brother Xing, you take your wife back first. Kuangye and I will handle the rest. I will also explain things to my grandfather. I was partly to blame for this."

Exhausted from dragging people around in the wilderness, his clothes disheveled and panting, he said, "Brothers, you should go back."

Xing Yanzhao carried Luo Huai away, saying, "Please apologize to Old Master Fu for me and Luo Huai."

The two nodded, signaling them to hurry up and leave.

This is to save face for Luo Huai.

If people knew how Pei Yuanzhou treated Luo Huai, they would wonder how they would view Luo Huai. In this world, the victim-blaming theory is rampant.

They had barely left when someone else arrived.

Pei Youyou was among them.

Her initial gloating expression changed drastically when she saw her brother's disheveled state, and she and Lin Zhengyu went forward to help him up.

Pei Yuanzhou's cheeks were flushed, his mouth was bruised, and there were also bruises around his eyes. He was cold and wet all over.

Pei Youyou seemed to understand something, and seeing that Yu Shao was completely unharmed, she became even more certain.

She lowered her head, not daring to speak, and only said, "Brother Zhengyu, let's take my brother home first."

Lin Zhengyu had no idea what had happened, only remembering that Xing Yanzhao had just come this way, so he asked, "Yuanzhou, who hit you?"

After being soaked in cold water, Pei Yuanzhou seemed to come to his senses, stood up and said, "No. I was drunk and bumped into something. Take me to the hospital first."

He felt something inside his body gathering strength and boiling again.

"Why are you all outside?" Old Fu and Old Yu arrived.

Seeing the chaotic scene, instead of asking directly, Pei Youyou first called over the home doctor who had been treating her health. Pei Youyou even tried to stop him.

But this is the Fu family, and they can't stop the master of the house.

"There's something in what Mr. Pei drank," the doctor said tactfully.

But everyone understands.

Old Master Fu's face darkened: "Investigate, investigate thoroughly before holding the birthday banquet."

Yu Bosen came out and said, "No need to investigate. Pei Youyou put something in my drink. I switched it and didn't pour it out. I then gave it to President Pei. It was my fault. I didn't consider the bigger picture."

Pei Youyou was furious: "Young Master Yu, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Yu Bosen took out his phone: "I had someone record a video of me beforehand."
