Chapter 23: A Devastating Moment
Wei Chengshu actually brought her to meet his mother?
She is not stupid, she knows that meeting each other's parents is not such a casual thing, to a large extent, it is equivalent to the relationship between the two is completely stable and ready to get married, and although she decided to follow Wei Chengshu, but when she really came, she was still scared, it was too sudden, and she was not even mentally prepared at all.
Pei Shuyi grabbed Wei Chengshu's hand tightly, Wei Chengshu pulled her over and introduced to her mother, "Mom, this is the girlfriend Pei Shuyi I mentioned to you, I brought Shuyi to our house to sit today." β
Pei Shuyi didn't react at all, and bowed to Wei's mother in embarrassment as if she was forced, "Hello, aunt." β
Speaking of which, although Wei Chengshu is from the countryside, Wei Chengshu's temperament is outstanding, and when he sees Wei Chengshu's mother at this moment, she is very young and dignified, and she looks like a well-educated woman.
She also bowed her head to Pei Shuyi very politely, and said with a faint smile: "It's really like what Chengshu said, Shuyi, you are very beautiful and knowledgeable, and it is a blessing for Chengshu that you can choose our family Chengshu." β
Pei Shuyi's face turned a little red, her eyes lowered slightly, and her nerves were tense.
Mother Wei saw Pei Shuyi's nervousness and crampedness, and didn't want her to be stressed, Mother Wei said understandingly: "You and Chengshu will sit in the living room for a while, and I'll go to the kitchen to cut some fruit." β
Pei Shuyi nodded, "Hmm." When Wei's mother walked to the kitchen, Pei Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Wei Chengshu's hand.
She frowned and asked, "Didn't you say that your aunt was in her hometown before?" And bring me over, without notifying me in advance, even if I didn't prepare any gifts, I don't know if I am dressed today or not. β
Wei Chengshu asked Pei Shuyi to sit down on the sofa, he took the remote control and turned on the TV, "Recently, I have stabilized here, so I took my mother over to live, and many times I come back here." Wei Chengshu knew that he had decided without permission, Pei Shuyi was a little unhappy, he stroked Pei Shuyi's face, and said gently: "Little Xiaoshu, don't be nervous." β
"Anyway, it's a matter of time, and I've mentioned you to my mom before, my mom has doted on me since I was a child, and she will like the girls I like. You're in your own home, huh? β
Although Pei Shuyi still minds very much in her heart, since she has come, she is too ignorant to leave in a bad mood.
Pei Shuyi bit her lip and buried her head and sat there, thinking in her heart that if the eldest brother knew that she had come to see Wei Chengshu's mother, would the eldest brother be very angry?
Pei Shuyi saw that it was raining so heavily outside, and it was estimated that she would not be able to leave for a while, so after thinking about it, she still took out her mobile phone, "I'll tell my eldest aunt or eldest brother, so that I don't go back at noon, they are worried about me." β
Wei Chengshu nodded, watching Pei Shuyi send messages to Huo Huiyuan and Pei Tingqing respectively to report his whereabouts, he raised his palm and touched Pei Shuyi's head, and said dotingly: "Little Xiaoshu, you are so sensible." β
After a while, Huo Huiyuan replied first, "It's okay, Shuyi is having fun, it's raining so hard, if you come back, let Tingqing pick you up." β
"Hmm." After Pei Shuyi replied to Huo Huiyuan, after waiting for a while, Pei Tingqing's message still didn't come, she should be busy.
Pei Shuyi put away her mobile phone, Wei's mother came out of the kitchen with fruit at this time, and after putting it in Pei Shuyi's hand, Wei's mother sat on the sofa opposite Pei Shuyi, and did not ask Pei Shuyi about various backgrounds, but asked Pei Shuyi to stay and eat together at noon.
Pei Shuyi nodded obediently, "Thank you, aunt, for your hospitality." β
Wei Chengshu used a toothpick to stick an apple in her, she took it and ate it, and seeing that Wei Mu was easy to get along with, she slowly relaxed.
During this period, Wei's mother went back to the room, and when she came out again, she sat on Pei Shuyi's side, took Pei Shuyi's hand, and put a jade bracelet on Pei Shuyi's wrist, "Shuyi, you come here for the first time, and you don't know what to send, this jade bracelet should be used as a meeting gift." β
"Auntie, this .........." Pei Shuyi wanted to refuse, but Wei's mother also said that it was just a meeting gift, she was not short of luxuries, and this jade bracelet was very common to her
On the other hand, although she was a little scared, she had a very serious attitude from the time she agreed to date Wei Chengshu, so it was natural to accept the jade bracelet.
Pei Shuyi stroked her wrist and felt the warm touch of the jade bracelet, "Thank you, aunt." β
Mother Wei liked Pei Shuyi's not delicate and unpretentious temperament, and wanted to say something to Pei Shuyi, when the doorbell rang.
"I'll take a look." Wei's mother asked Pei Shuyi and Wei Chengshu to chat in the living room, she went to open the door, and then there was a burst of moisture, and when she looked up, she saw a tall young man standing there.
He came over from the heavy rain, the water in his hair dripped down in a line, and such a clear and picturesque face made Wei Mu stunned for a moment, and her throat seemed to be stuck by something, "Are you ...........?" β
Pei Tingqing was keenly aware that Wei Mu's expression was wrong when she looked at her, he frowned for a moment, and then bowed slightly, "Hello, I'm Shuyi's eldest brother." β
"Really?" Mother Wei bowed her head, her eyes were fixed on the outline of Pei Tingqing's facial features, and she said with a smile: "You are not Shuyi's biological brother, right?" Otherwise, the two of you don't look like each other at all. β
Pei Tingqing smiled gently, "Auntie, you misunderstood, I am Shuyi's cousin." Is Shuyi here? β
"Yes." Wei Mu nodded, turned around and took the slippers for Pei Tingqing to change into, and the two walked to the living room together.
When Pei Shuyi saw Pei Tingqing coming in, she was startled and stood up almost in a panic, "Big brother." β
Pei Tingqing ignored Pei Shuyi, and Wei's mother brought him a dry towel over there and asked him to wipe his hair.
Pei Tingqing thanked him, didn't use a towel, and put it aside, he stood there with his long body, and said to Wei Mu and Wei Chengshu: "On the one hand, I came here to take Shuyi home, and I have to say something." β
Wei Chengshu's face was a little unsightly, he pursed his lips, and pulled Pei Shuyi to sit down again without saying a word.
Wei Mu nodded to Pei Tingqing, "You say." β
"I also asked my dad to know that Shuyi had a marriage contract with the eldest son of the Jiang family's chaebol, but the Jiang family's son has been studying abroad in recent years, and it wasn't until he came back not long ago that the two chaebols mentioned this matter again." When Pei Tingqing said this, his eyes swept over Pei Shuyi.
Her face was pale and shocked, but Pei Tingqing looked as usual, and continued, "Pei Jiang's family is going to get engaged to Shuyi when she is 18 years old, so Shuyi can't date Chengshu because she already has a fiancΓ©. β
Fiance........... Pei Shuyi only felt like a bolt from the blue, staring at Pei Tingqing with wide eyes, she tried to find something from Pei Tingqing's expression, but he didn't look like he was joking at all, and her heart sank little by little.
Wei Chengshu didn't hear about it, and he couldn't react a little, and after a while, he sneered sarcastically, "Tingqing, you just look down on my background and think that I am not worthy of Shuyi, so you want to break us up, right?" But in this way, haven't you considered Shuyi's feelings? β
"Who is the eldest son of the Jiang family? A few years ago, he was a well-known playboy, and it was too insulting for you to match Shuyi with Jiang Zhentian. β
Pei Tingqing hooked his lips and said lightly: "I think it's not your turn to ask about the internal affairs of our Pei family." He said and turned his head to look at the contemplative Wei Mu, "What do you think, aunt?" β
Wei Mu nodded, "Tingqing is right, since Shuyi has a marriage contract first, our family Chengshu should withdraw, but he didn't know about it before, and he didn't mean to take someone's wife, and I hope you can understand." β
Wei Chengshu's face changed, "Mom, what are you talking about?" β
Mother Wei glanced at Wei Chengshu, and even Pei Shuyi was a little scared in that gaze, she didn't expect Mother Wei to have such a serious side.
Wei Chengshu clenched his fists and pinned his face to the side.
Anyway, he didn't believe what Pei Tingqing said, Pei Tingqing's lies would be exposed sooner or later, at this time, there was no need for him to argue with Pei Tingqing without angering his mother, even if Pei Shuyi was taken home by Pei Tingqing today, it would only be temporary.
Mother Wei stood up at this time and said to Pei Shuyi with a smile: "It seems that you can't stay Shuyi for dinner today, since your eldest brother is here to pick you up, you can go back with your eldest brother." β
Pei Tingqing looked at Pei Shuyi.
Pei Shuyi bit her lip, and finally stood up, "I'm sorry aunt, I'll come to visit another day." β
Wei Mu nodded, let Wei Chengshu stay in the living room, she sent Pei Tingqing and Pei Shuyi outside the door, handed the umbrella to Pei Tingqing and Pei Shuyi, and said goodbye.
She stood under the corridor and watched Pei Tingqing's back walking away, and it wasn't until Pei Tingqing started the car and left that Wei's mother walked back into the house.
***
On the way back, Pei Shuyi sat in the passenger seat, thinking about what Pei Tingqing had just said, her fingers grabbed the seat belt on her waist, bit her lip and asked hesitantly: "Big brother, is what you just said true, I have a marriage contract with Jiang Zhentian, the eldest son of the Jiang family's chaebol?" β
She met Jiang Zhentian at Pei Tingqing's 18th birthday party, and Jiang Zhentian still talked to her at that time, and later after the banquet, Huo Huiyuan and Pei Tingqing both told her not to have a deep relationship with Jiang Zhentian.
Although Jiang Zhentian's conditions are very good in all aspects, Jiang Zhentian is really a scumbag who plays with girls' feelings, and now Pei Tingqing actually told her that Pei Zongyou privately engaged her and Jiang Zhentian's marriage contract, Pei Shuyi's mind was a little confused and couldn't accept such a fact.
Pei Tingqing drove the car, and the windshield wipers swept away the rain on the windshield, "Do you hope it's real or fake?" In my opinion, it is the same for whoever you marry. His eyes glanced at the jade bracelet on Pei Shuyi's left wrist, his eyes were dark, and even his tone was faintly ridiculed, "The girl who set her life at the age of 17 doesn't really matter who her husband is, right?" β
Pei Tingqing was scolding her casually, Pei Shuyi was very ashamed, but on the other hand, it was certain that the so-called marriage contract was also Pei Tingqing scaring her.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and was silent for a moment before justifying: "I went to Chengshu's house, it was just an accident, I didn't know that he would suddenly take me to see his mother, and as for this bracelet, as Chengshu's girlfriend, Chengshu's mother gave me a meeting gift, and there is nothing wrong with me accepting it." β
Pei Tingqing nodded, and didn't look at Pei Shuyi, "Yes, you did it right." β
It's that he's too calculating.
He had been like a stalker all morning, seeing her lying in Wei Chengshu's chest and sleeping defenselessly, remembering that she also liked to bury herself in his arms at that time, he knew that in her mind, he was actually not the most special one.
"It's like what Chengshu said." Pei Shuyi In Pei Tingqing's silent time, she spoke again: "You look down on Chengshu's background, so you did everything possible to break up me and Chengshu, and even you told the lie that I would marry the eldest son of the Jiang family's chaebol." Big brother, you're too much, I want to be with Chengshu, what qualifications do you have to stop me? β
As soon as the words fell, she only heard the sound of an emergency brake "squeak", Pei Shuyi was caught off guard, and her body suddenly leaned forward, but fortunately she was wearing a seat belt, but it still brought her a lot of impact, and after a while, Pei Shuyi stabilized her mind and turned her head to stare at Pei Tingqing.
"You ask me about my qualifications, right?" Pei Tingqing suddenly turned to face Pei Shuyi, his eyes locked on her, his chest vibrating, suppressing anger and pain, and tried his best to say calmly: "Say it again, I am your eldest brother, you must obey my discipline." β
Regarding Pei Tingqing's domineering and unreasonable, Pei Shuyi only felt extremely aggrieved, and tears were about to roll out, "If that's the case, I'd rather not have you as a big brother." β
Pei Tingqing's pupils shrank when he heard this, "What did you say?" β
He only felt that the emotions that had accumulated for many days were about to explode, his hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were twisted around Pei Shuyi's white face, Pei Tingqing's eyes were pursed with a touch of blood red, and even he was afraid that Pei Shuyi would force him again.
Pei Shuyi also felt aggrieved, and when she heard this, she yelled at Pei Tingqing loudly: "I said, I don't want to have a big brother like you, Pei Tingqing, I really hate you." She said angrily opening the car door and trying to get down in spite of it.
Who knew that Pei Tingqing locked the car door, Pei Shuyi turned her head and glared at Pei Tingqing again, "Open the door!" I want to go down, I don't want to stay with you, I'm going to go back to Chengshu, I just like him, you don't let me be with him, I want to be with him. β
Pei Shuyi said and suddenly felt a gust of wind passing by her cheeks, but it was Pei Tingqing who raised her arm, she was stunned for a moment, and her eyes turned red, "You actually want to beat me?" Then you fight. Pei Shuyi simply closed her eyes, with a stubborn and unyielding expression, "Even if you kill me, I won't listen to you." β
Pei Tingqing's thin lips were white, and his arms that were raised in the air also trembled, and the knuckles of his clenched fingers made a "creaking" sound.
"I don't want to have a big brother like you, I just like Chengshu, I just want to be with him, it's useless for you to kill me..........." Pei Shuyi's words just now kept getting into his ears, only to hear the "boom" in his chest, something suddenly exploded, Pei Tingqing clearly knew that the devastating moment had finally come.
The next second, Pei Tingqing's hand fell, but he held half of Pei Shuyi's cheek hard, lowered his head and leaned over and kissed Pei Shuyi's lips suddenly, "Pei Shuyi, you forced me." β
