Urban Film and Television: Jiang Lai is the Top Choice

Jiang Lai's expression darkened when she saw Yang Chu talking incessantly about the dishes to Andy and the others, completely ignoring her.

However, Jiang Lai also knew that her cousin was in the wrong today, and now that Yang Chu was giving her the cold shoulder, she could only accept it.

Wang Manni sighed softly, took Jiang Lai's hand, sat down, and said with a smile, "You described the soup so well, what's it made of? Is it chicken?"

"No! It's roast pigeon! I'll serve you a bowl, you can try it!"

"Oh! I'll try it!"

The group chatted amongst themselves about the medicinal cuisine Yang Chu had prepared, without mentioning Peng Jiahe and Pei Duo.

Andy, Zubelai, and Fang Wenxi enjoyed the meal quite a bit, but Wang Manni and Jiang Lai had something on their minds, so even the most delicious food tasted bland to them.

When Jiang Haokun and the others arrived, Yang Chu and Jiang Lai were still having a meal. Yang Chu specifically instructed Li Jialuo not to let anyone disturb them.

Jiang Haokun frowned slightly upon hearing Yang Chu's special instructions. He glanced at Pei's parents and guessed that today's events might be serious.

Jiang Haokun then looked at Li Jialuo and asked, "Is Miss Pei Duo also dining with them?"

Li Jialu shook her head and said, "They are in another private room. I'll have someone take you there."

Jiang Haokun and Pei's parents' expressions changed upon hearing Li Jialuo's answer.

With a dark face and a forced smile, Mr. Pei said, "Miss Li, please have someone take us there."

Li Jialu smiled and nodded, saying, "It's nothing! Mr. Pei, you don't need to be so polite."

After saying that, Li Jialuo asked the waiter to take Jiang Haokun, Yin Jian, Pei's parents to the private room where Pei Duo and the others were.

Now, only Pei Duo, Peng Jiahe, He Xinyan, and Tang Qiqi remained in their private room. The others had finished eating and drinking and were sent back by Peng Jiahe.

Peng Jiahe originally wanted He Xinyan and Tang Qiqi to leave together, but He Xinyan and Tang Qiqi were worried about Peng Jiahe, and since the incident was caused by them, they insisted on staying. Peng Jiahe couldn't persuade them much, so he had no choice but to let them stay.

When Peng Jiahe saw Jiang Haokun arrive with three strangers, he guessed who they were. He stood up and said to Jiang Haokun with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, have you eaten yet? I'll have someone prepare something!"

Jiang Haokun nodded with a stern face, said nothing more, and led Pei's parents and Yin Jian into the private room.

After everyone was seated, Jiang Haokun introduced Pei's parents, Yin Jian, and Peng Jiahe.

Peng Jiahe stood up with a smile, bowed his head and said to Mr. and Mrs. Pei, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt! Hello, President Yin! I am Peng Jiahe."

"We know you, Yang Chu's adopted sister."

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Uncle and Aunt. It was Brother Yang who took pity on me, a helpless little girl."

"You can't say things like that carelessly. You're quite good."

Peng Jiahe smiled and didn't reply further. She knew what was polite talk and what was the truth.

Feeling they had exchanged enough pleasantries, Pei's parents turned to Pei Duo and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Pei Duo lowered her head, unsure of where to begin. She couldn't very well start with what happened at their school!

Just as Pei's parents were about to get angry, He Xinyan stood up with a smile, introduced herself, and said, "Uncle, let me explain this matter! It all started with Tang Qiqi and me."

Pei's father nodded and said, "You can say whatever you want!"

Then He Xinyan began to recount in detail everything from the matter of her photos to Pei Duo causing trouble at the restaurant.

The more Pei's father, Yin Jian, and Jiang Haokun listened, the more solemn their expressions became.

After He Xinyan finished explaining the situation, Jiang Haokun and Yin Jian both looked at Pei Duo with disbelief.

Yin Jian looked at Pei Duo with confusion and asked, "Mr. Yang has nothing to do with any of this, right? Miss Jiahe just helped this student He. How did this get involved with Miss Jiahe? I don't understand."

Jiang Haokun, his face dark, looked at Pei Duo and asked, "I also want to know what Manny and Lai Lai did wrong that you came to the restaurant to cause them trouble."

Pei Duo said with a bitter face, "Would you believe me if I said it was all a misunderstanding?"

"You've got it all wrong! You've misunderstood everything about your own family."

"No... I misunderstood Jiahe..."

Before Pei Duo could finish speaking, Peng Jiahe interrupted her.

“Miss Pei! Please call me Miss Jiahe, or Peng Jiahe. We’re not that close.”

Pei Duo heard Peng Jiahe's words and her voice carried a hint of pleading.

"Jiahe... let me explain..."

"I told you not to call me that so intimately. I don't want to get too close to you, and I don't dare to get too close to you."

"Jiahe...!"

Just as Pei Duo was about to plead with Peng Jiahe again.

Pei's father slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice, "Enough! From now on, shut up."

Pei Duo looked at her father with a sorrowful expression and said, "I know I was wrong!"

"You know nothing! If you knew you were wrong, you wouldn't be here. You're always doing what you think is right, and you only realize your mistake after being proven wrong. We've lost face and apologized for you so many times since you were little, but you're completely unrepentant. You've even brought this up here today. I think you've been spoiled rotten."

"dad……!"

"Shut up! I don't have a daughter like you."

Pei's mother also felt sorry for her daughter, so she sat down next to Pei Duo and comforted her, saying, "Why are you so insensible, child!"

"Mom, I just wanted to do things well, that's why there were these misunderstandings."

"This isn't a misunderstanding! You're bullying people, you're bullying them in their own home."

Ignoring how Pei's mother comforted Pei Duo, Pei's father turned to Peng Jiahe and asked, "Miss Jiahe, how do you intend to handle my daughter's matter? Please advise me."

Peng Jiahe smiled politely and said, "President Pei, you're too kind. I'm just a helpless young girl. If it weren't for Brother Yang's help, how could I be worthy of you calling me Miss Jiahe? Let Brother Yang handle this matter!"

Peng Jiahe was giving Pei's father a subtle rebuff. She was just a helpless little girl, and it was one thing for others to bully her, but Pei Duo was relentlessly bullying him at home. Now it was up to Yang Chu to handle this.

Pei's father was also somewhat embarrassed by what Peng Jiahe said. His daughter had bullied Peng Jiahe at school, and Peng Jiahe had tolerated it at school, but Pei Duo had followed him to the restaurant, which was a bit like abusing her power.
