Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Became the Child of a Nanny and a Bodyguard Chapter 237: Chapter 237: Became the Child of a Nanny and a Bodyguard Su Yurou struck with precision and force, and Lin Xuecheng received several solid slaps.
Lin Xuecheng had just finished surgery and her body was still very weak; if it weren’t for the allure of wealth and status forcing her to summon some energy, she wouldn’t be able to stand at all.
Now, after being hit, she collapsed directly to the ground, clinging to Elder Pei Liu’s leg.
“Dad… I’m Chengcheng, your biological daughter! You won’t disown me, will you?”
Su Yurou, seeing this, refused to be outdone.
She rushed up and clung to Elder Pei Liu’s wife’s hand, trying her best to shed a few tears, looking pitiable.
“Mom, I’m Yurou. You even called me and asked me to come to the party to find you.”
Shen Boyi pulled Qingwu’s hand, discreetly taking a step back.
“Stand back here; the view is better from here.”
Qingwu held back her laughter, gently tugging Pei Jue’s sleeve, bringing him into the safe area as well.
Pei Jue held Qingwu’s hand in return, quietly interlocking their fingers.
The other guests shared a similar thought, which was to watch the drama unfold…
If these were truly Elder Pei Liu and his wife’s daughters, stopping them now would surely offend the Pei Family.
If not, it wasn’t their place to handle the aftermath.
In short, none of them were the ones losing face…
Someone covered their mouth, sneering, “With so many kids, what difference do two more make for Elder Pei Liu?”
“Yeah, but these two don’t look like much. If he really plans to raise them as daughters, he might end up tarnishing his own name; daughters like these are just dead weight.”
Listening to the surrounding chatter and many unpleasant words,
Elder Pei Liu’s head was about to explode!
He glanced at Qian Yueqiang, who was hiding in the back, and kicked Lin Xuecheng away from his leg.
“Get lost! Who’s your dad? You’re just a bastard, and you want to be my daughter? Our Pei Family isn’t a place for any street cat or dog!”
Elder Pei Liu’s wife also pushed Su Yurou away.
“Who are you? I’ve never contacted you; I have only one daughter, and she doesn’t look like you!”
As she spoke, she glared at Elder Pei Liu beside her.
It must be because of his unresolved messes outside that these ridiculous things found their way here!
Su Yurou was so anxious her tears almost fell.
If Elder Pei Liu didn’t acknowledge her, she couldn’t go on living!
She pulled out her phone, pointing at the messages as she cried, “Mom, you’re the one who told me to come to the party to find you!”
Elder Pei Liu’s wife glanced at the messages and frowned, “Your mom is our family’s housekeeper, not me!”
Housekeeper? How could it be the housekeeper?!
When Aunt Qin asked her to make contact, she addressed her as Madam… How could anyone call a housekeeper Madam?
Elder Pei Liu waved disdainfully, pointing at a middle-aged man covered in dirt, speaking to Lin Xuecheng.
“Our family’s bodyguard, also my secretary, Lian Ousheng, is your real dad!”
Lian Ousheng had just been pruning flowers in the yard, his hands still wearing garden gloves.
Behind him was a middle-aged woman who resembled Aunt Qin by about seventy or eighty percent, stepping forward to grab Su Yurou.
“Are you Yurou? I’m your mom! This is your dad; finally, our family can be reunited. Quickly apologize to Elder Pei and Madam.”
Lian Ousheng also pulled up the still-stunned Lin Xuecheng, “Yes, yes, in the future, what matters is that we have a good life together.”
Lin Xuecheng was dumbfounded!
So this is the prestigious father Qian Yueqiang mentioned—Elder Pei Liu’s secretary?
What kind of prestige is this!
“You’re my dad? Then why is this woman also your child?”
Lian Ousheng chuckled, a bit of cunning hidden within his simplicity.
“So what? Your mom’s child is also my child; we have eight brothers and seven sisters waiting for you at home, it’s lively!”
Lively? That’s way too lively!
Most were children born from Elder Pei Liu’s extramarital affairs that he didn’t wish to acknowledge.
They were sent directly to Lian Ousheng’s home, added to his household registration.
Since he didn’t have to pay for their upbringing nor were they his biological children, Lian Ousheng didn’t mind having one more or one less kid.
Hearing there were so many people, with a father as just a bodyguard and a mother as a housekeeper, was even harsher than Qingwu’s peasant family!
Imagining the scenario made Lin Xuecheng faint right on the spot!
Lian Ousheng carried Lin Xuecheng on one shoulder, forcibly dragging Su Yurou with the other hand, quickly disappearing from the banquet hall.
Qian Yueqiang, who had been lurking to see Elder Pei Liu’s reaction to Lin Xuecheng, noticed something amiss and had already slipped away unnoticed…
Elder Pei Liu turned around, apologetic, “Sorry, the housekeeper and bodyguard’s children from our household embarrassed themselves, disrupting your enjoyment; I’ll drink three glasses as apology!”
He picked up champagne and started drinking, his face turning red.
No one could tell if it was from anger or embarrassment.
Elder Pei Liu held his glass and toasted each person, eventually reaching Pei Jue.
“Ajue, we’re family after all; bones break but the tendon remains connected. You can’t side with outsiders and not help me, your Uncle Liu. Lately, every time I’ve sought you, you’ve said you’re accompanying Ms. Shen, which seems rather improper!”
While speaking, he glanced at Qingwu several times.
Pei Jue’s hand rested on Qingwu’s slender waist. Upon hearing those words, he merely lifted his eyelids and smiled.
“Uncle Liu, I can’t comprehend what you’re saying. Little Wu is my family, so of course, I’ll support her, and as for you, Uncle Liu…”
“If I’m not with Little Wu, I have to handle affairs of the corporation and have little time to visit the ranch and see you.”
His words almost outright scolded Elder Pei Liu as less than human!
Qingwu snickered, and as she did, Pei Jue’s gaze also softened considerably.
Shen Boyi took away the water by Qingwu’s side, “It’s better not to eat the food here; it’s dirty, and Big Brother worries you’ll have stomach aches when we get home. Let’s go eat somewhere else later.”
“Okay.”
Elder Pei Liu’s lips twitched, glancing at Qingwu.
“Ms. Shen indeed is a beauty; it’s no wonder my nephew is so fond of her. With so many prestigious ladies surrounding him in the past, none caught his eye, which shows Ms. Shen’s special qualities.”
Qingwu lightly laughed, with a grace beyond reproach.
“You flatter me; I don’t have anything special, just particularly good relationships with my brothers. At least I wouldn’t secretly plot, sending my brother down a dark path.”
Shen Boyi chimed in.
“Only a beast would do such things; our little Wu is so sensible she wouldn’t dream of doing that.”
Pei Jue also nodded, his gaze at Elder Pei Liu filled with coldness.
“Little Wu is right; some people are indeed beasts. Saying they’re human might even be insulting to humanity.”
Elder Pei Liu knew Pei Jue referred to him arranging to have Elder Pei Wu killed.
However, he failed to succeed. It was Pei Jue, after all, who killed Elder Pei Wu!
Elder Pei Liu was prepared, sneering, “Speaking of which, my Fifth Brother’s death is shrouded in mystery. President Pei still owes me an explanation, doesn’t he?”
His thick-skinned demand for an explanation was brazen.
As long as he insisted that Pei Jue was responsible, Pei Jue wouldn’t leave this room today!
