She asked, and I nodded.

For Peng Zhen's family and friends, I am no longer the same attitude that I didn't want to know about and didn't dare to participate in before, this change is very subtle, but it is also very real.

Peng Xia said: "My dad was entangled with a movie star outside when my mother was still alive, and the movie star at that time didn't want to be sentenced to prison for messing with the relationship between men and women, so she went out boldly and open-mindedly." Survived my mother, hum, it's a pity that even so, she can't enter the door of the Peng family, what kind of existence is my grandfather, where can the daughter-in-law of a movie star be accommodated! Therefore, she can only see the unsightly hanging. She was naturally unwilling, regardless of her reputation, gave birth unmarried, gave birth to this thing one by one, and tried in vain to enter the door of our Peng family with her child! Bah! What is it! ”

I listened quietly, and the makeup and hairdresser around me had already started to put on my makeup.

In Peng Xia's opinion, Peng Lei, her younger sister, is something that cannot be put on the stage, and her tone of voice carries a natural condescension, the arrogance that permeates from her bones.

This kind of contempt is the same for his half-sister, let alone outsiders.

It's not the first time that the Peng family has learned this kind of loneliness, as if it is a relative who has been touched by Peng Zhen. But the perspective of people is different, Peng Xia is talking about the woman who her father can't see outside, and her sister who is not recognized by the family. But to me, it has another meaning, Peng Lei's mother is a movie star, and in the eyes of a proud family like the Peng family, it may not be able to be on the stage, and it is okay to even say 'drama'.

But in comparison, I don't know how much better the obvious identity of such a movie is better than my identity as a divorced woman.

I never underestimate myself, but I am not blindly confident, I know too well that there are many prejudices in this society, and the requirements for women are even harsher. Even my mother, who grew up with me since I was a child, is not optimistic about me, and everything she says is that I am worthless after the divorce, do I still want to ask a family like Peng Zhen to be so arrogant that it accepts me?

I couldn't listen to what Peng Xia said.

After I was completely packed and dressed, I was ready to go, and my father called, and he came to pick me up.

Although I was still a little awkward, I couldn't stretch out my hand and not hit the smiling man, not to mention that I had promised to go to dinner with my father, and I should have set off together at this time.

My father's car was an Audi A8 with a city license plate.

Seeing me come out, a smile appeared on his calm face, nodded and said, "It's beautiful." ”

My father and I now seem to have formed a tacit understanding, like a conventional stranger, with no feelings, but maintaining a polite bottom line.

After getting into the car, there was silence in the car for a while.

Father spoke first, "You are very familiar with the people of the Peng family?" ”

My back straightened a little, there are some things I really don't know how to say, now in the strict sense, the people of the Peng family are our enemies, yes, my dead brother is a thorn in people's hearts.

In this world, not only the people of the Peng family will be angry.

My brother died to save Peng Ting, but not only did he not enjoy anything he deserved after his death, but because of the anger of the Peng family, he died silently and even with shame.

As a family member, no one can tolerate such a thing.

So do I.

I said, "Except for Peng Zhen, the others are not familiar!" ”

This is my real status quo, the people of the Peng family, Peng Xia can't speak at all, and none of the above, whether it is my grandfather or my father's generation, accepts me.

It's really uncooked.

The father said, "It's enough to have Peng Zhen." ”

I suddenly couldn't figure out what he meant, and I turned my head to look at him, and found that he was looking out the window, his eyes narrowed, and I didn't know what he was planning.

The person who has been up and down in officialdom for many years seems to have more city government than Peng Zhen's father.

I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

When we arrived at the venue of the dinner, we did not get off the car as soon as possible, but parked the car outside the old house of Anjia, and watched one car after another go in, I knew that this was a gesture, and the last one to arrive was the finale.

Just looking at the cars driving in one by one, I gradually have a real understanding in my heart, the so-called family banquet, I am afraid it is not as simple as I thought.

With such preparation, when I entered the house with my father, I was not panicked.

Of course, I also thank Peng Xia from the bottom of my heart for finding such a skirt for me that can calm the scene, otherwise, if I really wear a very simple skirt, I am afraid it will be a little embarrassing.

After all, I am not a wealthy lady that everyone is used to, and when I followed my father to this kind of occasion, the eyes of the people around me were more inquisitive than appreciative.

"Aren't you afraid?" My father asked me.

I shook my head, I was afraid that I was not afraid, but I felt a little emotion in my heart, the last time I entered the An family's mansion, I was kidnapped, and even the most basic freedom of a person cannot be guaranteed. At that time, the old man of the An family gave me, and he didn't even give me a straight eye, and things have changed, and it has only been a few months, and I walked in here again, but it was a completely different identity.

I watched my father nod to the many people who came forward to greet him, with the pride of an official.

Coming to welcome us was Peng Zhen, who was the host of today's dinner and the person who was mainly responsible for entertaining the guests. He walked up to me and my father, with just the right amount of etiquette and enthusiasm, and stretched out his hand to invite me and my father in.

"My grandfather is still preparing, and he will come down later." Peng Zhen smiled, and when he turned his head to me, his smile became evil, "Who let you wear this?" Peng Xia? She's really lived enough! ”

If it weren't for so many people in this hall watching, I'd be able to pinch the flesh off his waist, I'm so used to it.

I haven't forgotten the last time he went to dinner because I wore a dress that he didn't choose, his bad attitude, this man, as if he couldn't stand it because I was beautiful.

Looking down, the nude skirt has a straight neckline, which is ankle-length, and if you want to say that it is exposed, it is really impossible to talk about it.

But this kind of skirt that is close to the figure, and such a color close to the skin color, does seem to have some hidden temptation.

I rolled my eyes and glared at Peng Zhen, Peng Zhen hehe, "Don't run around, this matter is over, let's go home." ”

He said it so smoothly that my heart jumped. Subconsciously turned my head to look at my father, I haven't forgotten the current contradiction between the Ye family and the Peng family, especially Peng Zhen, who can be described as a character on the tip of a knife, he is blatantly facing me like this, it is really a little inappropriate.

What I didn't expect was that my father not only did not change his face, but also did not refute Peng Zhen's straightforward words, and even had a shallow smile on his face.

It looks like a connivance.

My heart moved, and I seemed to understand something, and then I raised my head and urged Peng Zhen, "You don't have to entertain other people, don't follow us." ”

Peng Zhen pursed his lips, "What's the point of being with those people?" Have you eaten? Do you want me to bring you some snacks? ”

When he said this, my father's smile widened.

I couldn't help but squeeze Peng Zhen's wrist, "Don't delay for me, hurry up and get busy with you." ”

It's hard to imagine that on such a major occasion, once the scene of Peng Zhen surrounding me and even running to get me snacks appeared, the people around him would feel like it, and they wouldn't appreciate it after all.

Peng Zhen saw that I was serious, so I reluctantly went to work.

When Peng Zhen left, I looked up at my so-called father, and for the first time I had a practical idea.

The first time he saw me and Peng Zhen, he was clearly opposed, and then he didn't know what Peng Zhen told him, so he quieted down again. I don't want to pay more attention to this matter, it seems that I am used to Peng Zhen will solve anything, and it is also a rejection of my father, and I feel that I should not care about his thoughts at all.

But today, just now, I suddenly understood.

I have no memory of my father, I have no feelings, on the other hand, I am afraid it is difficult for him to have any deep feelings for me, this is actually understandable, men's feelings for children are originally cultivated by nurture, unlike women, they are born, every day of pregnancy in October, they are connected with the blood of the child.

But my father suddenly brought me to the dinner party, making it clear that he wanted to admit my identity, and not only that, but my father even wanted to convey to everyone that I was the pearl in the palm of his hand.

I thought it was his guilt, but his attitude towards Peng Zhen was too strange.

"Don't hit him with your ideas!" I say.

I looked at my father, and he seemed to be the more out of tune Peng Zhen was, the happier he was, and this kind of perception really frightened me.

In the face of my statement, my father was very calm, he took my arm and bent it halfway to his arm, and whispered: "Jiajia, your brother's eyes are full of eyes are looking for you. Can you forget his hatred? ”

Of course not.

Some things are simple to say, but in my heart it is a different look, although my brother has no memory, but after listening to so many things about him, I am upset for him, and even have a kind of resistance to the people of the Peng family.

But these do not include Peng Zhen.

In my heart, Peng Zhen and the Peng family are separate, and they can't be compared at all.

But obviously, my father doesn't think so, "He is the core of the Peng and An families, and his destruction is the best revenge for these people!" ”

The father smiled on his face, but the curvature of the corners of his mouth made people feel chills when they looked at it.

The people of the Peng family ruined his son, so that Ye Gaochi not only gave his life, but even couldn't get everything he deserved for the rest of his life. Then he will ruin the son of the Peng family, which is equivalent revenge.

My whole body began to tremble slightly.

Peng Zhen's importance to the Peng and An families is self-evident, Peng Zhen's uncle is not in tune, and so far I know that there are two daughters, even if there are sons, they are all illegitimate children, for the Peng family, the creature of illegitimate children is naturally not on the table.

Peng Zhen's so-called only son, the only pillar who can inherit the family business, undoubtedly carries all the hopes of the two families.

ruining Peng Zhen is indeed the best revenge for these two families.

Such thoughts, although vicious, are also normal, and the thing that makes me infinitely frightened and sad is, "What am I?" I asked my father in front of me.

According to my father's meaning, I am the Daji who brought disaster to the country and the praise of destroying the country, and I stayed by Peng Zhen's side just to let him not be in tune, and let him do as little as possible.

But have you ever thought that if Peng Zhen and I really become like that, become a community of interests, and Peng Zhen is destroyed, can I get out of the way, Peng Zhen is completely decadent and falls, can Peng and An let me go?

I find it difficult to accept being used as a tool of revenge by my father, and yes, he calculates me.

Use me as a 'beauty trick' who can achieve his goals and do whatever it takes.

My body subconsciously retreated, although I knew that the father in front of me could not have a deep relationship with me, but being used and calculated like this, no matter who it was, I am afraid that I would be sad and depressed.

My father's arm was clamped a little, so that I couldn't get out of his control, he said: "Jiajia, you have no way to retreat now, the Peng and An families know that our Ye family is a thorn in the side, if we retreat now, we will all die without a place to be buried, my official position is secondary, if I can't avenge your brother in this life, I won't die." ”

I saw a fire burning in his eyes.

This kind of hatred is not encompassing in a single word at all.

I heard Jin Ge say that when my brother was young, because of my mother's departure, my brother was brought up by his grandparents, and his feelings were very different from other grandchildren. When my brother died, after hearing the news, my grandmother couldn't support it, so she sent first aid that night, and after seven days of rescue, she still didn't get it back, and she let go.

After grandma left, grandpa also had a big problem with his spirit, and he followed after less than a year.

For the Ye family, the death of his brother has long been not just one life, but three, with all the pain and grief and indignation, all remembered in the hearts of the Ye family.

For the father in front of him, the Peng family not only made him lose his son, but also made him lose his parents.

The hatred in it is indescribable.

What is the appearance of a person who is occupied by hatred, probably what my father in front of me looks like, he has already formed a curse, and he can do anything to get revenge.

Of course, this also includes me, a daughter who has no feelings.

Cool heart.......

I'm really afraid, my eyes unconsciously chased Peng Zhen, looking at his high-spirited appearance, it was really hard to imagine that one day he would be depressed because of me.

No, that's not what I want to see.

Peng Zhen should always be like a blazing fire, with a scorching temperature.

"Here they are." Father said.

I turned my head to look at the stairs on the second floor, and Ms. An Nian helped Mr. An to go downstairs step by step, and everyone standing downstairs turned their eyes to them

。

Passing past Mr. An and Ms. An Nian.

I immediately followed the man in a neat suit behind them, smiling slightly, as if he had suddenly parachuted in front of me from another world.

Everything came so suddenly, I let out a slight exclamation in shock.

Of course, my father sensed my actions for the first time, and turned his head to ask me, "What's wrong?" ”

By this time, I had completely lost the ability to think, and subconsciously said, "That's ......."

"Who?" Father squinted, obviously he had understood that the An family did not intend to fight back tonight.

Of course, I also understood in my heart, calmed myself down, and then said, "It's my ex-husband." ”

Zhang Xu!

That's right! The man who followed the old man of the An family and Ms. An was Zhang Xu.

He was dressed in a decent suit and looked very handsome, with the appearance of an elite. It has been more than half a year since I was separated from Zhang Xu, and in the past six months, the ups and downs of my life have been so great that I have already forgotten this person, and the chance of thinking of him is very small.

I didn't expect to see him again on an occasion like today.

When my father heard my words, he smiled clearly, "Look, I told you that the Peng family of the An family will not let you go, and in the future, how can you survive without your father's protection." ”

I could feel the tugging from within.

Then I turned my head to look at Peng Zhen, who did not have a complete smile on his face at this time, and even glared at Zhang Xu who was following behind Old Man An. He knew Zhang Xu, and there was a slight shock on his face at this time.

I know that Zhang Xu's appearance today could never be arranged by Peng Zhen, he would not do such a thing, this matter is of course embarrassing to me, but it is not an embarrassment for Peng Zhen.

When I looked at the old man of the An family again, the disgust in my heart slowly turned into hatred, I could understand that they hurt me in every way, but I couldn't understand that they didn't care about Peng Zhen's mood at all.

It hurts so much.

Old Man An came down from upstairs, walked straight to our side, and stretched out his hand to greet my father from a distance, "Minister Ye, I'm glad to meet you." ”

His performance undoubtedly gave my father enough face.

Of course, my father might as well let it go, "It's better to see than to hear, and the demeanor of the old man has not diminished back then." ”

I watched their amicable and even eager conversations, and I couldn't help myself from feeling nauseous. Maybe I really don't fit into this circle, and I really can't do it in the face of such hypocrisy as theirs.

"This is the little girl, Ye Jia." My father introduced me, and he said the name I used when I was in the Ye family.

I nodded, if you can't be hypocritical, then don't be rude.

Of course, Old Man An wanted to introduce the people around him, "This is my daughter, I guess you all know each other." Then he called Peng Zhen, patted Peng Zhen on the shoulder lovingly, and said, "This is my grandson, a hairy boy, and I hope Minister Ye will take care of him in the future." ”

My father smiled and said, "Heroes come out of youth, look at them, and then you understand that we are old." ”

An Lao smiled, "That's what I said, I have always been optimistic about this child, and I am also engaged this year." At the beginning of spring next year, the wedding will be held, and a family will be started, a man should always be like a man. ”

"That's what you said." My father still maintained his original appearance, and there was no fluctuation at all.

An Lao rolled his eyes, looked at me, and said, "Today I brought an old man, I want to make my daughter very familiar with him, right?" Come, Zhang Xu, meet Miss Ye. ”

My muscles tensed instantly.
