Pei Jianian laughed wryly, his tone mocking: "Who are you to command me? My grandfather, or... the head of the Pei family? If it's the former, I don't want to listen. If it's the latter, you are not worthy of commanding me."

Old Master Pei was so angry that his eyes bulged out. Old Madam Pei calmed him down and frowned, "Ah Qiao! You can't talk to Grandpa like that."

Even Pei's mother, who was sitting in the back, stood up awkwardly and said anxiously, "Aqiao!"

Pei Qiaonian looked at her, and Pei's mother shook her head at him, signaling him not to conflict with them.

For Pei's mother, no matter what kind of humiliation she suffered, it didn't matter as long as she could stay in the Pei family.

Even if the woman and son that the man who married her loved the most came back, she would be willing to give up her position and want to get through this matter peacefully.

She thought that after the banquet was over and the mother and son were sent away, life would return to normal, but things were not that simple.

Pei Jiaonian looked at Lin Yuan and found that he was also looking back at him.

From the moment they returned to China, their purpose was no longer simple.

Pei Jianian did not hold back, but asked: "Where is that man? Didn't he come back with you? Or did he die abroad?"

This statement startled everyone around.

They all knew who the man Pei Qiaonian was talking about was. Pei's mother's face turned pale and her voice became sharp: "A Qiao! Stop talking."

Pei Jiaonian's father is a taboo in the Pei family.

When he left the Pei family, he severed ties with Old Master Pei. This was also a pain in Old Master Pei's heart. The man abandoned his parents and his huge family business for a woman. Lin Yan even divorced him because of the appearance of Pei Jiaonian, the illegitimate son. In order to take revenge, he married Pei Jiaonian's mother, spent money to kidnap Pei Jiaonian, and almost killed his own son in the mountains.

Later, Lin Yan took Lin Yuan abroad, and he gave up everything and went with them.

From then on, the Pei family pretended that this person did not exist.

Pei Jianian stared straight at the woman sitting opposite him, his lips curled slightly: "Mrs. Lin, where is he?"

Lin Yan's mood did not change. Even though she was already middle-aged, she looked as beautiful as a girl in her twenties, and her fair face was well maintained.

Compared with Pei's mother, she was like a carefully cared-for flower. However, because Pei's mother stayed in the Pei family, she not only had to take care of everyone in the Pei family, but also had to manage everything inside and outside the family, worrying about this and that, which made her look much older.

She looked at Pei Jianian unwillingly and said calmly, "Your father is still abroad, but he is sick and can only rely on expensive medicine to prolong his life. Otherwise, I would not have come back this time. He is dying, but we have no money."

Pei Jianian couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh: "He has already left the Pei family and severed ties with my grandfather. In other words, he no longer has any relationship with our Pei family. The reason you and Lin Yuan were able to come back is only because grandpa thinks this matter has nothing to do with the younger generation."

Lin Yan's face froze, and her tone was cold: "Then who do you think caused your father to break off relations with the family and go abroad? Who interfered with our family and led us to the current situation? I am Pei Xingzhi's first wife, and your mother is the mistress who destroyed other people's families!"

Mother Pei's face was pale and her lips were trembling. She sat on the chair with her head down, not daring to look up at the mocking looks cast at her by the crowd.
