1859: It Would Not Be Her Business

It Would Not Be Her Business

"Forget it. Let's take it slow. I'll transfer the family's property first if I can. I've also made a deal with Jiaxiang. As long as he's willing to help me, I'll still acknowledge him as my son. I'll divorce her and split the property after I've transferred everything I can."1

When Grandma Pei heard that the Pei family's property was going to be divided and given to the daughter of a miner, she was extremely furious. Her face was covered in hatred.

"If you can't get a divorce publically, can't you do it in secret? The Leng family has already severed all ties with her. Look at her crying and throwing tantrums all the time. Even Leng Qirui, the current head of the family, ignores her. She has no backing. Can't you think of a way to mess with her? Do you really have to give away the Pei family's property?"

Pei Jicheng's eyes widened.

Leng Jinjie had been married to him for more than 20 years. Their son was already 21 years old. Although he was reluctant to give her much money, he had never considered harming her.

However, her mother's words suddenly made him want to kill Leng Jinjie.

He...

"In any case, you shouldn't have let me know that you gave the Pei family's assets to such a crook. You might not be able to bank on the Pei Group helping you out in the future anymore."

"Mom...!!!"

Grandma Pei had already left.

It would not be easy for her to make amends to her brother today. She would have to get him used to her presence first. 

After Grandma Pei left, Pei Jicheng was too stunned to move for a while. However, eventually, he left too.

However, they did not know that in the building behind them leading up to the villa was someone who had been watching them.

Yes, she had seen everything.

Nangong Nuannuan could not hear them through the wall, but she knew how to read lips. Therefore, she knew everything that the Pei family had discussed.

She had never understood why Zhou Ruxue seemed to have no feelings for Chi Zehao, despite his greatness. Now that she had witnessed Pei Jitong at work, Zhou Ruxue's husband of 17 years who acted like a lovesick high schooler in front of her, she understood.

In her previous life, she thought that Big Brother Chi Yang was a serious man who did not know how to smile, had no sense of style, and maintained a cold temperament all the time. Even when he was in bed with her, his body was as hard as steel. He triggered her flight or fight response. She had not been in love with him back then. 

Chi Zehao was Chi Yang's father. He used to have the same high position as Chi Yang as the commander-in-chief of the Eagle Special Forces. If such a man did not truly love a woman to his very core, then he would have seemed simply cold and aloof to her, right? 

Just like the Chi Yang she thought she knew in her previous life.

Back then, she and Big Brother Chi Yang were not that friendly. He did not know how to show his interest. Thus, even if he loved her so much he would have given up his life for her, he would have still looked stony and expressionless.

That would also explain why Zhou Ruxue loved Pei Jitong so much. In exchange for Pei Jitong and for the Pei family, she was alright with disregarding Old Master Chi and her son's feelings.

However, the Pei family chewed people up, leaving not even a morsel of bone marrow behind. They were not a suitable home for a silly and sentimental person like Zhou Ruxue.

Without even thinking about it, one day, when Zhou Ruxue could not gain anything from the Chi family, she would face a tragic end.

Zhou Ruxue's decisions meant that one day, she would have to face her tragic end. 

However, whether the Pei family or Zhou Ruxue was involved, as long as Big Brother Chi Yang did not interfere, neither would she. It would not be her business.
