Chapter 982 - 222: Starting from Scratch_4
Xie Ze was infuriated and full of resentment. Pei Qin wasn’t really making Brother Wendong start a business from scratch; she was driving them away, finding a way to force them out, brother and sister!
Pei Wendong entered half a day later, his face pale.
Xie Ze took a step forward, about to speak.
Xie Yi quickly grabbed him, silencing him.
Xie Ze insisted on speaking. "If you want to drive us away, just say it directly. There’s no need for such roundabout ways. It’s just that you speak more tactfully, with cleverer means!"
"Stop talking!" Xie Yi hissed at him, tears brimming in her eyes. "Brother Wendong, don’t make it difficult for yourself, we will leave! We will go to our maternal grandparents’ home!"
Huang Qiu couldn’t help but speak up from the side. "Our lady didn’t have the malice you think. She just had a discussion with Young Master Pei about betrothal gifts. Young Master Pei has grown up; he cannot always follow his married elder sister. It’s time to establish a family and a career, and to set up his own household. It’s not as twisted or malicious as you think!"
Xie Yi was somewhat shocked and hardly dared to believe it, but she still sighed in relief and looked anxiously at Pei Wendong. "Brother Wendong!"
Pei Wendong asked them to go back to their room and wait; he went to the inner courtyard to talk with his elder sister.
Pei Qian was arguing fiercely with Pei Qin, disagreeing with Pei Wendong going out, especially disagreeing with his marrying Xie Yi. "That vile woman Xie Yi will ruin him! His inheritance, future, and marriage—all will be destroyed!"
