Chapter 206

However, Pei Li was not as confident as Pei Meimei. Back then, she had gone too far. If Du Ze did not take care of them, what if he bullied them?

After all, the three of them were now independent. Although he said that he did not want help, it was not that simple to develop. Although Ouyang Tian wanted to help him, it was because of his mother’s matter. Now, they were still a laughing stock in the entire upper-class society. Even if he wanted to do something, he had to wait for the limelight to pass.

“In the end, don’t be careless. Now, we are different from the past. Even that Du Ze, no matter how much we looked down on him before, he has now risen. Your brother is not as capable as him.”

“Besides, if we want to trample the Pei family and those who look down on us under our feet, we still need Du Ze’s support. Therefore, Meimei, you must restrain your temper. You and I are no longer the Pei family’s Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Miss.”

When Pei Li said these words, there was a trace of loneliness and resentment. However, he was very good at concealing it and also knew how to put on an act. As expected, when Pei Meimei heard him, who had always been high-spirited and had almost never been tortured since he was young, saying these words… Her heart ached a little.

The sibling relationship between her and Pei Li was not fake. Ever since they were young, Ouyang Minyan had doted on the two of them the most. Pei Li had also doted on her as much as he could. Now that their family of three was in trouble, her brother was supporting the family all by himself… She could not just sit by and do nothing. She could no longer be like the young miss who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun like before.

“Big Brother, don’t worry. I know what to do. I won’t miss out on that Du Ze so easily. Have you forgotten? Even if Du Ze isn’t up to the mark, I still have those photos that I took back then. I thought it was a joke, but I didn’t expect it to come in handy today.

“Don’t worry. Even if we can’t get Dongyou Country, I still want to tear off a piece of meat from Du Ze.”

Pei Meimei’s ambition was extremely satisfying in Pei Li’s eyes. He did not feel that it was inappropriate for him to take advantage of his sister. Instead, he felt that it was just the two of them, and they had to watch each other’s backs. As for Ouyang Minyan, after the incident… The Ouyang family immediately sent the three of them to this villa in the southern suburbs in an attempt to avoid the limelight.

However, Ouyang Minyan’s mental condition was really too bad, and the blow this time was too great. These few months, she had already lost her mind, so they made a prompt decision and told the outside world that they wanted to send their mother for treatment. They directly sent their mother, who had sent them from heaven to hell, to a sanatorium.

Although the two of them did not show their resentment toward Ouyang Minyan, they both knew that there was definitely a lot of it.

“Oh right, Big Brother, are you really going to look for Qian Jin today?” Pei Meimei thought of something, put down the makeup box in her hand, and turned to ask Pei Li.

Qian Jin was their nominal cousin, Pei Dongguo’s adopted daughter, Pei Tianqing, and Qian Weitang’s only son.

However, after Qian Weitang fell off his horse and fled from China, because of the Ouyang family’s help, not only did the Pei family not suffer any losses, but they also directly entered the capital’s upper-class society.

As for Pei Tianqing, because of the car accident that caused her to be completely paralyzed, she had been recuperating in a nursing home in the suburbs. If he hadn’t accidentally met Qian Jin when he sent Ouyang Minyan to the nursing home for treatment, he would have forgotten about this good cousin of his.

“Now that we officially lack helpers, if we can rope in Qian Jin, there are only benefits and no disadvantages for us.”

“Have you forgotten about Qianjin, our aunt whom we rarely see? You didn’t know at that time, but I know it clearly. That Second Aunt is now lying paralyzed on the bed, unable to move. But Grandpa personally gave the order. Do you think if Qian Jin finds out about this, he will help us?”

“Brother is right. I almost forgot about this. However, Qian Jin is younger than me. He is only 18 years old. What can he help us with?”

“When your brother was doted on, he was also groomed by Pei Dongguo as a successor. There are many things that I know. When Qian Weitang escaped from China, he had a ledger in his hands. This ledger recorded many insider information about the transactions between the Pei family and the Ouyang family, as well as some insider information about the other people involved. However, after Grandfather searched the entire family, he still couldn’t find this thing.”

“Even Second Aunt was in trouble because of this ledger. Although Qian Weitang went missing, there was no news of his death. If he hadn’t died, Qian Jin would be his only family member. Although Qian Jin’s legs were slightly crippled due to polio in his early years… He was also Qian Weitang’s only son. He had been doted on since he was young.”

“As long as we properly spread the news that the Pei family cannot tolerate Qian Jin, Qian Weitang will definitely show up for his son’s sake. He will even take out the ledger to save his life. So, as long as we keep in contact with Qian Jin and gain his trust… We are not afraid that we will not be able to obtain the ledger.”

Pei Li’s plan was very good. Pei Meimei did not think of this either. However, she knew that the way Qian Jin looked at her the last time was a little strange. Her brother had also seen it, so she felt a little uneasy.

“Brother, why do I feel that the way Qian Jin looks at me is so, so strange?”

“You can tell? That young man was just beginning to fall in love. He knows that you aren’t related to him by blood, so it is normal for him to like you. But now, Meimei, if you really want to rope Qian Jin in, he’s just a little cripple. You just need to adjust his appetite occasionally and you’ll be able to eat him to death. When that time comes, I’ll have to rely on you in this aspect.”

“Don’t worry, Brother. I’ve seen so many men. Although I don’t have the ability to make all men like me like Liu Yufei, it’s still very easy to deal with an 18-year-old young man.”

Pei Meimei acted casually, as if she had forgotten about the marriage between her brother and Liu Yufei. Perhaps she remembered, but for her to say this, it was clear that she was dissatisfied with the marriage. However, even if Pei Li could hear it, there was nothing he could do because this marriage was personally arranged by Ouyang Tian for him. He absolutely could not go back on his word.

However, even if they got married in the future, this Liu Yufei and he could only live separately. If he were to treat Liu Yufei the same as before, he absolutely could not do it.

“Regarding the marriage between Liu Yufei and me, don’t think that you’re unwilling. Grandfather personally spoke, and we can’t not listen. Moreover, the Ouyang family isn’t as stable as we thought. Marrying Liu Yufei naturally wouldn’t harm them even if we moved into the Ouyang family. They wouldn’t lay a hand on us.”

“But if your brother wants to enter the Ouyang family, then it’s destined that we can’t marry high and have a strong in-law’s family. Do you understand?”

“I understand, of course I understand. It’s just that no matter which Liu Yufei or which b*tch, how could she be worthy of my brother?”

“Alright, I know that this girl’s heart aches for your brother. Hurry up and change your clothes. Didn’t you make an appointment with Du Ze at 7? The time is almost up.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Even if it’s a little later, it’s nothing. It’s only natural for women to be late!”
