Chapter 037: I Can't Do It

As soon as Wen Peiling's words fell, Wen Peishu's white face suddenly stiffened.

Her hand holding the paper bag couldn't help but tighten at the moment, and after taking a deep breath, she turned around, raised her eyes to look at Wen Ruihua, who was walking down the stairs, and said softly, "Dad, sister, she didn't embarrass me, it's my own fault, blocking my sister's entry into the door, and she has nothing to do with my sister." ”

After finishing speaking, Wen Peishu's light pink lips also quietly pursed, and he glanced at Wen Peiling with an indifferent expression with casual side eyes, but between his eyebrows, there was a faint fear of Wen Peiling.

"Okay, Peishu, you don't have to say anything good for your sister, and you don't have to take her temperament to heart."

As he spoke, he had already stepped down the last staircase, Wen Ruihua's eyes looking at Wen Peishu couldn't help but be much calmer, and even his voice was not as tough as he was with Miss Peiling just now, "Also, what I said to you in the study just now, you remember to go back and tell your mother and Ye Feng, if your sister and she are not angry, the Wen family will have to rely on you and Ye Feng's child in the future." ”

As soon as Wen Ruihua's words fell, Wen Peiling's face at the door changed inadvertently-

What is the Wen family, which will rely on Wen Peishu and Tang Yefeng in the future?

What does this mean?

After pondering for a moment, Wen Peishu's light-colored lips moved slightly, and he originally wanted to say something, but he had to nod under Wen Ruihua's insistent eyes, "I know, Dad, then I'll go back first." ”

"Go ahead, drive carefully."

Wen Ruihua bowed his head and said this before turning around and walking towards the sofa in the living room.

After a while, the sound of the door closing behind me was heard.

Wen Peiling raised her hand and took off the sunglasses and hat that covered most of her face, and the corners of her delicate lips hooked a cold smile, and even her voice seemed to contain a faint coolness, and she asked lightly, "Dad, since when did we rely on outsiders to worry about the affairs of our Wen family?" ”

"What outsiders are not outsiders? Pei Shu she is my daughter, your sister, in the future, Ye Feng will marry her, and she will naturally be her own person, where is there any outsider? ”

Wen Ruihua's eyes sank slightly, glanced at Wen Peiling who walked to him, paused slightly, and then continued dissatisfiedly, "Also, is your attitude towards your father?" From the moment I entered the door to now, my dad didn't scream, has he been in that indifferent circle for a long time, and he has forgotten even the most basic rules? ”

He has always had no good impression of a place like the entertainment industry, so that his words inevitably became a little meaner.

Wen Peiling seemed to have been used to it for a long time, there was no anger on her beautiful face, and her voice was very light and light, "Dad, I didn't want to quarrel with you when I came back, I only asked the crew for half a day's leave, if you have anything, just say it, after that, I have to rush back to the set to continue filming." ”

"What kind of attitude do you have!"

As if irritated by Miss Peiling's careless attitude, Wen Ruihua's shrewd old face already showed a little gloom, and after a low scolding, he unceremoniously bent down and threw the red invitation card that had been placed under the coffee table in front of her.

The flamboyant red color suddenly caught Wen Peiling's eyes.

She frowned for a moment, and her voice couldn't help but be a little colder and asked, "What is this?" ”

"If you open it and see for yourself, will you know?"

Wen Ruihua didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his sharp gaze swept directly over at the moment.

Wen Peiling's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help frowning deeper, a chill appeared in her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she finally bent down and picked up the invitation-

The hot gold word "囍" is very dazzling.

Her fingertips pinching the edge of the invitation suddenly tightened, but when she opened it and saw the name of the invitee, her eyes suddenly froze, and she raised the invitation card and looked at Wen Ruihua on the sofa and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Still don't understand?"

Wen Ruihua's elite eyes narrowed, leaned back on the back of the soft sofa, and said in a rather strong tone, "This is an invitation for Pei Shu and Ye Feng to hold an engagement ceremony, since you and Mu Zechen have a marriage contract, then, it is perfect for you to send this invitation, isn't it?" ”

"Is that a reason for me to send this invitation?"

I didn't expect Wen Ruihua to say this so reasonably, the chill in Wen Peiling's eyes deepened, and in the next second, he casually threw the invitation card back on the marble coffee table, "I'm sorry, I can't do it." ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!"

Seeing that she refused so straightforwardly, Wen Ruihua's face sank completely, and he said in a deep voice, "You should have heard that Mu Zechen has never liked to attend this kind of occasion, if this invitation is sent by your sister, do you think Mu Zechen may be condescending to attend?" But you are different, you are the future daughter-in-law recognized by the Mu family, and it is up to you to send this invitation, Mu Zechen has to go through the motions on the day of Peishu's engagement for the sake of your future wife. ”

After thinking about it, he estimated that this was the only way to invite Mu Zechen to attend on the day of Wen Peishu's engagement.

After all, Wen Peishu is his beloved youngest daughter, and since he decided to hold the engagement ceremony in their Wen family, it is natural to invite all the celebrities and magnates in Jiangcheng.

And, as long as Mu Zechen agrees to attend, even if someone is unwilling to come, they will have to come in order to have a little relationship with Mu Zechen.

Wen Peiling is Wen Ruihua's biological daughter in the end.

What is his biological father calculating in his heart, how could she not guess it at all?

It's just that she couldn't believe until this moment that her father, in order to be able to make the illegitimate daughter's engagement banquet beautiful, decent, could even be used by her rightful daughter......

The huge living room suddenly fell into a dead silence with Wen Peiling's silence.

The father and daughter stared at each other in a stalemate, neither of them spoke again, but they could clearly feel that neither of them was willing to back down.

"Dad, I won't send this invitation from Wen Peishu, and I shouldn't send it, and you don't have to talk about the marriage contract between Mu Zechen and me all the time, because I won't fulfill this so-called marriage contract at all, as long as I don't want to sign the marriage agreement, even if the Mu family and Mu Zechen agree a hundred times, a thousand times, or even ten thousand times, it is useless, I won't let my marriage become the most exquisite chess piece on your chessboard!"

I don't know how long it lasted, Wen Peiling took a deep breath and suppressed the sadness surging in her heart, and the pair of plain hands hanging down on her side became tighter and tighter, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint tremor in her voice.

"Okay...... You're really the opposite, the other way around......"

Wen Ruihua didn't expect Wen Peiling's attitude to be so rigid now, an old face turned red because of anger, and the fingertips pointing at her trembled slightly, and just when she wanted to say something, she only heard a gentle woman's voice from the staircase-

"Ruihua, let me talk to my daughter."

As soon as the woman's voice fell, Wen Peiling suddenly raised her eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a haggard figure standing at the corner of the stairs, with one hand gently resting on the handrail of the stairs, looking at her for a moment.

"Mom?"

Wen Peiling opened her mouth with some doubts, but the look of surprise in her eyes was very obvious, as if she was a little incredulous, but in half a month, why did her mother become so old and haggard?

Ling Lin nodded slightly when she heard this, her obscure eyes swept over Wen Ruihua's angry face, and when she looked at Wen Peiling again, her always peaceful voice was a little more tired and helpless, "Peiling, come to the room with my mother, I have something to say to you." ”

After such a sentence, Ling Lin didn't care what Wen Peiling downstairs wanted to say, leaving only a meaningful look, and silently turned back upstairs.

A faint hint of uneasiness flashed in Wen Peiling's heart, and it could be seen that Ling Lin had already turned around and went upstairs, so she had no choice but to follow in silence.

……

The master bedroom of the old couple is on the second floor, leaning against the first room at the top of the staircase.

At this moment, the door of the master bedroom was wide open, and when Wen Peiling closed her steps at the door, she could see her mother sitting quietly on the edge of the bed-

She propped her hands at her side, and the appearance of her head hanging slightly made people feel a little distressed when they looked at it.

Seeing this, Miss Pei Ling only felt a tightness in her heart.

She stood at the door and was silent for a long time before taking a deep breath and slowly walking to Ling Lin's side and sitting down.

"Mom......"

There was a clear sense of pity in the cold voice, Wen Peiling called out in a low voice, and the plain hand close to Ling Lin also quietly covered the back of Ling Lin's hand, paused, and then asked tentatively and softly, "What do you want to say when you call me up?" Did Wen Peishu's engagement ceremony take place at the Wen family make you unhappy? ”

It's okay to hype up the fact that Wen Peishu and Tang Yefeng are about to get engaged, and the partiality engagement ceremony will be held in the Wen family, how can Ling Lin, as the original wife, not have the slightest wave in her heart after hearing the news?

However, Ling Lin's reaction was beyond Miss Peiling's expectations.

I saw that she shook her head slightly, and when she raised her eyes to look at Wen Peiling, there was obviously a trace of sadness and guilt in her eyes, as if she had been silent for a long time, before she held Wen Peiling's plain hand with her backhand, and said pleadingly, "Peiling...... Just for the sake of Mom and the Wen family, can you ...... I agreed to this marriage with Mu Zechen, don't fight with your father anymore? ”

As soon as Ling Lin's words fell, Wen Peiling's good-looking starry eyes suddenly widened, as if she couldn't believe that these words came from the mouth of her most respected mother, and she couldn't help but ask rhetorically, "Mom, do you say it again?" You want me to marry Mu Zechen!? ”
