Pei Jingchuan stopped on his way to the restaurant. His eyes fell on Pei Yanqing, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of complicated emotions in his heart.

He turned around, walked back to Pei Yanqing, squatted down, and looked level with him.

"Yan Qing, are you okay?" Pei Jingchuan's voice was full of the concern and worry unique to his brother.

Pei Yanqing raised his head, and despite the tiredness in his eyes, he still managed to smile, "Brother, I'm fine, I'm just... a little tired."

Pei Jingchuan sighed softly, reached out and patted his shoulder, "What you did is enough. Although this incident has made the family worried, I am very relieved that you can take responsibility. Remember this time I’ve learned a lesson and think more about it in the future.”

Pei Yanqing nodded, feeling grateful to Pei Jingchuan for his understanding and support.

At this moment, he understood even more the importance of supporting each other among family members.

As the night progressed, the Pei family's restaurant was brightly lit, and a sumptuous dinner was placed in front of them.

The Pei family sat down one after another. However, Meng Ling's eyes drifted to Pei Yanqing in the corner of the living room from time to time. Her eyes were full of worry.

Although he knew that this was the responsibility that Pei Yanqing had to bear, seeing him being punished for his proposal still made him feel guilty like a tide.

On the dining table, although the dishes are delicious in color and aroma, there is more or less a shadow hanging over everyone's heart.

The Pei family's dinner has always been a time for family reunion and communication, but tonight it seemed a little unusual because of Pei Yanqing's absence.

Old Mrs. Pei noticed the glances Mengling cast at Pei Yanqing from time to time, as well as the dignified looks exchanged between other family members at the dinner table.

Although she insisted in her heart that the lesson was necessary, her heart softened when she saw her grandson and family being upset by this.

"Jingchuan, go and ask your brother to come over and have dinner together." Old Mrs. Pei finally spoke, with an unquestionable majesty in her tone, but also a hint of warmth.

When Pei Jingchuan heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly got up and walked to the living room.

When Meng Ling heard the verdict, a flash of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Mrs. Pei's decision represented forgiveness for Pei Yanqing and also meant that this storm would eventually pass.

Not long after, Pei Jingchuan led Pei Yanqing into the restaurant. Pei Yanqing's steps were a little stiff, obviously because he had been kneeling for a long time.

However, when he saw his family waiting for him at the dinner table, a warm light could not help but shine in his eyes.

"Quick, sit down." Mrs. Pei said softly, her eyes full of tolerance and love.

Pei Yanqing said "grandma" softly, and then carefully sat down in her seat.

Everyone else at the table also showed relieved smiles, as if Pei Yanqing's joining had dispelled all the gloom on the table.

Mengling watched Pei Yanqing sit down slowly and noticed that he gently adjusted his sitting posture, as if he was trying his best to avoid pressure on his knees. Her heart was filled with self-blame.

Although the atmosphere of the dinner gradually became warmer, Meng Ling's heart felt as if a stone had been pressed heavily. The weight made it almost impossible for her to raise her head and look at Pei Yanqing.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became relaxed, and the Pei family began to share interesting daily stories, and occasional laughter gradually echoed in the air.

However, Mengling's mind was not on the topic at all. She secretly observed Pei Yanqing from time to time to see if he was still enduring pain.

Pei Yanqing felt Mengling's gaze. He turned his head gently and met her eyes.

There was no complaint in his eyes, only deep tenderness and a touch of comfort.

At that moment, Mengling's heart seemed to be illuminated by soft sunshine, and she understood the message in Pei Yanqing's eyes - there was no need to blame herself.

As the atmosphere of the dinner gradually eased, Jiang Yuzhu's mood did not become lighter.

She knew that although Pei Yanqing was punished for her, she was the one who proposed to go fishing after all.

It is also impossible to escape responsibility. This worry soon became a reality.

Jiang Xianmei has always been an outspoken person. When she learned what happened today, her brows furrowed and a flash of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

At the dinner table, the topic turned to today's outing, and Jiang Xianmei found the opportunity to speak.

"Yuzhu, how could you not listen to your family and go fishing in a dangerous place?" Jiang Xianmei's voice was not high, but it was enough to make everyone present feel her blame.

Amid Jiang Xianmei's scolding, the atmosphere in the Pei family became tense again.

Jiang Yuzhu lowered her head, her eyes slightly red, obviously feeling embarrassed and remorseful.

At this moment, Pei Jingchuan stood up and tried to save her.

"Auntie," Pei Jingchuan's voice was steady and firm, with a hint of majesty that could not be refuted, but also full of tolerance.

"Actually, Yuzhu is not entirely responsible for this trip. It was because we didn't think carefully and the weather got better, so we decided to go fishing on a whim."

His words were full of support for Jiang Yuzhu. Although he knew that this trip was indeed a bit reckless, he did not want Jiang Yuzhu to bear too much pressure.

In Pei Jingchuan's words, Jiang Yuzhu felt unprecedented warmth and support.

Her heart was filled with gratitude, and at the same time, a sweet feeling spread quietly in her heart.

She looked up at Pei Jingchuan, with mixed emotions flashing in her eyes, including gratitude to Pei Jingchuan for coming forward, and self-blame for causing this turmoil because of her recklessness.

Jiang Xianmei's eyes looked slightly complicated when she heard Pei Jingchuan's words. She knew that Pei Jingchuan had always been a person who valued family harmony and was always generous and understanding to family members.

Pei Jingchuan did not stop and continued: "Moreover, we have learned a lot from this incident and have a deeper understanding of family responsibilities and considerations of personal behavior. I believe the same is true for Yu Zhu. She has always been He is a very sensible and responsible person, and this was indeed an accident.”

Old Mrs. Pei nodded slightly when she heard Pei Jingchuan's words. Although she is strict, she also understands that timely tolerance is crucial to the growth of family members.

Mengling listened on the sidelines, feeling warmed by Pei Jingchuan's actions. She glanced at Jiang Yuzhu, her eyes full of encouragement.

She knew that Jiang Yuzhu must be feeling very sad at the moment, but with the support of his family, everything would be fine.

In the end, Jiang Xianmei did not continue to blame, but she still warned: "Yuzhu, I hope you will be more careful in the future. After all, the honor and safety of the family are the responsibility of all of us."

Jiang Yuzhu replied softly: "Yes, aunt, I will remember the lesson."

The dinner continued, and although it went through some twists and turns, it finally ended smoothly with understanding.

Although this incident brought some tension to the Pei family, it ultimately deepened the trust between the family members.

Whether it is Pei Yanqing, Jiang Yuzhu, or other family members, they all learned a valuable lesson from this incident.
