Pei Youyou had a large bump on the back of her head, and it hurt so much that she screamed in pain when she touched it.

She really fell.

There was no intention.

Luo Huai could tell.

Pei Youyou has been pulling these kinds of tricks since she was a child, and her acting skills are terrible, but her family loves her.

Love is the best filter.

Others could tell at a glance that Pei Youyou was acting, but her family couldn't. Their first concern was whether Pei Youyou had hurt herself anywhere.

After Pei Youyou said one sentence, her mother and father began to ridicule her.

Yuanzhou would ask her, "Did Xiaohuai do it by accident?"

Offer her a way out.

She used to just go with the flow.

Faced with the same question today, Luo Huai straightened his back for the first time, looked directly into the eyes of the Pei family and Xing's mother, and said, "No, I used a lot of force."

Her fearless expression infuriated Pei Youyou so much that she almost jumped up and down.

"Dad, Mom, brother! Look at her!"

Pei's mother knew her daughter's temperament best; Luo Huai must have done something to make Youyou do this.

She quickly comforted her daughter, signaling her to calm down.

This is the Xing family home. Madam Xing and Miss Xing are still watching from the side.

Pei Youyou understood, and buried her face in her mother's shoulder, sobbing and saying it hurt so much.

His gaze occasionally swept towards Luo Huai.

With Xing Yanzhao gone, let's see who can stand up for Luo Huai!

On the contrary, everyone will speak up for her.

Xing Yuru was standing in a position that gave her a clear view of Pei Youyou's smug face, but in the blink of an eye, she realized she had misjudged the situation.

She must be seeing things.

My second sister-in-law is very easy to get along with; she's not the kind of person who says one thing to your face and another behind your back.

The eldest sister-in-law, on the other hand, was surrounded and condemned by everyone like a prisoner, like a wild grass drifting in the wind, ignored by all.

"Uncle Pei, Aunt Pei, and Young Master Pei, this matter isn't entirely my sister-in-law's fault. Someone splashed water on my sister-in-law's computer and it can't be fixed. The maid who cleaned the room said it was my second sister-in-law's idea, which is why my sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law had a dispute."

Xing's mother glanced at her daughter, then looked at the sobbing Pei Youyou, her gaze becoming deep and meaningful.

Pei Youyou looked up and immediately stopped crying.

What's going on with Xing Yuru again?

Mr. Pei frowned, but Mrs. Pei remained silent.

Pei Yuanzhou asked, "What did Miss Xing mean by that?"

“It means exactly what it says.” Xing Yuru didn’t understand why he asked that. What other meaning could his words have? She opened her clear eyes and said, “That’s how it all started.”

Xing's mother asked where the maid was.

Everyone turned around but couldn't find anyone.

The Pei family just arrived, and Pei Youyou was crying and making a scene, not mentioning the reason for their argument at all, to the point that she even forgot about the servants.

"Where have people gone?"

"I fired the maid for making a mistake." Xing Zhengyu returned home early from get off work.

Pei Youyou's face lit up with joy, and she immediately got up and rushed over, tears streaming down her face, asking him to reach out and touch the bump on the back of her head, saying that it was all Luo Huai's doing.

Luo Huai stood alone on the opposite side of everyone, his thin back ramrod straight, and the corners of his eyes reddened.

倔。

And then she looked so innocent.

It's truly pitiful.

Xing Zhengyu looked at her for a while, and even the prepared speech in his mind became hesitant.

However, with so many people around, there needs to be an explanation.

“Sister-in-law, the maid admitted to me that she did it by accident. She was too scared to say anything, so she framed Youyou. There are security cameras in the house; we can check them.”

The surveillance footage had no sound; it only showed her whispering with the maid.

Pei Youyou explained, "I just asked her to clean our room carefully. I absolutely did not instruct her to do anything bad. I swear to God!"

Swearing to God—the best line for Pei Youyou to gain trust.

Luo Huai chuckled softly.

Her laughter seemed abrupt.

Everyone looked over.

Pei Youyou felt that she was being mocked, and glared at her angrily: "What are you laughing at? It's just a broken computer. Did you have to make me fall? I'll pay you back however much you want."

"Why are you going to compensate me?" Luo Huai asked rhetorically.

Pei Youyou choked.

Xing Zhengyu smiled and smoothed things over: "No matter what, your computer is broken and needs to be replaced. How much do you need? Any configuration is fine."

The maid has been fired.

The surveillance footage provided no evidence.

Everyone was on Pei Youyou's side, and Luo Huai never expected to have the upper hand in this matter.

"I want desktop computers, the best configuration, 100,000 units."

She no longer expects anyone to stand by her side.

So she didn't even glance at Pei Yuanzhou, who was staring at her intently, even though his gaze was impossible to ignore.

"What does Sister-in-law need 100,000 computers for?" Xing Zhengyu asked, intrigued.

Luo Huai didn't say anything.

She also ignored Xing Zhengyu's gaze.

Xing Zhengyu simply smiled.

Pei Yuanzhou couldn't stand it; how could Luo Huai ignore him completely from beginning to end?

"We've paid for the computer, but you haven't apologized for making Youyou fall."

After saying that, Luo Huai finally looked at him properly.

It was just a moment.

His cold gaze was like that of someone looking at a stranger.

Pei Yuanzhou felt a sudden pain in his chest, his brows furrowed, and he reminded him once again, "Xiao Huai, you should apologize if you do something wrong."

It was Luo Huai's fault that Pei Youyou accidentally bumped her head and got a bump, but the real mastermind behind it was not brought to light and was successfully distanced from the situation.

and so.

"I refuse to apologize." Even if others don't stand by her side, she still has herself.

You are the only comrade you can truly rely on.

Pei Yuanzhou approached Luo Huai in disbelief, looking down at him and demanding, "Are you still Luo Huai?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a servant rushed in to report.

"Madam, young master, an old lady has barged into the house!"

Mrs. Xing scolded the servants for their lack of manners, and said, "You bunch of people can't even stop an old lady?"

"The old lady was waving a mop she had just pulled out of the sewer. It was dirty and smelly. She was hitting people as she walked, saying that she was in poor health and that she was already one foot in the grave. No one dared to actually stop her."

Xing Zhengyu: "What's the old lady's surname?"

Maid: "Kuang."

Madam Xing frowned: "Why is she here? Throw her out."

"Who dares touch me!" the old lady's booming voice came from outside. "Give me back my granddaughter-in-law!"

Everyone looked at Luo Huai.

Luo Huai strode out, and sure enough, Old Madam Kuang was standing in the yard, one hand on her hip and the other holding a mop, looking like she was there to start a fight.

The air was filled with the stench of decay.

"Grandma!" Luo Huai leaned closer without minding the smell, feeling even more that her grandma had come to support her.

As soon as the old lady saw her, she immediately became kind and gentle.

He gently pushed her away: "Stand aside, you stink. Why are your eyes so red? Blood is seeping from your toes!"

"These damned bastards!" Old Mrs. Kuang spat at the group of people who came out, scaring the group of pampered ladies and young masters back.

Xing's mother harbored deep resentment towards Old Mrs. Kuang.

Her own son, who carries noble blood, is a street thug raised by this old woman!

Xing's mother stepped forward and said, "Unauthorized trespassing, go call the police."

"You don't need to report it, I'll report it myself! I want to see who broke my granddaughter-in-law's computer! Anything over three thousand yuan is grounds for a police investigation!"

How could an old woman from the slums know this?

Some people are confused.

Xing Zhengyu, however, gleaned something else from the old lady's words.

The old lady found out about the computer too quickly, almost right after him.

This means that when Sister Feng notified him, someone in the family also notified Xing Yanzhao.

Xing Yanzhao has been back for more than a month, and everyone is afraid of him. How could he still be able to bribe people?

Xing Zhengyu's gaze swept over all the servants he could see.

That's really impressive, brother.

Unfortunately, he couldn't tell who it was for the time being.

He turned to his mother and said, "Mom, there's no need to call the police. After all, she's the grandmother who raised my older brother. We should invite people over to sit down. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, they'll misunderstand."

The word "misunderstanding" is used tactfully.

He was reminding his mother that family scandals should not be aired in public.

After realizing what had happened, Xing's mother looked at her son with relief and said, "I was almost so angry I lost my mind."

Meeting the sharp eyes of Old Mrs. Kuang again, she felt like a new bride meeting her mother-in-law, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Aren't you looking for Luo Huai? Luo Huai is over there, you can go now."

She didn't even bother to glance at her daughter-in-law.

She had already married into the Xing family, yet she was walking with an old woman who smelled sour all over.

The servants moved aside.

Old Mrs. Kuang snorted, "Who knows if you really want us to leave? What if you find someone to run us over with a car after we leave?"
