Chapter 43 (2/2)
“Why don’t you ask yourself that?” The old lady looked at her coldly. Luckily, Xiao Chen was fine. Otherwise, she would never forgive Wang Yunxi!
“What do you mean? I just wanted to know where he is. That’s why I asked you.” Wang Yunxi smiled sheepishly.
“Don’t assume that I know nothing about what you have done. You better stop whatever you’re plotting.” Liu Ling would not prohibit Wang Yunxi from talking bad about that woman. But, what Wang Yunxi did was just manipulative to her precious great-grandson. She would never allow that!
The old lady had reached Haicheng the day before. But, she did not head home straight. She ordered somebody to investigate Pei Xiuyuan’s wife before heading home.
Wang Yunxi felt that her grandmother was indeed an old and wise woman! You could hide nothing from her! She lowered her head and replied, “Fine.”
After a short while, she looked up. “Grandma, this is Yunhai, my husband.”
The old lady looked at Mu Yunhai coldly. “You’re just like your mother. You have hooked up with a man at such a young age.”
“I’m not messing around. I’m married now!” Wang Yunxi clenched her fists tightly. Her grandmother favored boys more than girls. Her grandmother never treated her nicely since she was born. But she could not talk like that to her no matter how she disliked her!
“Are you really married? Have you registered for your marriage?”
“Yes, we did that in the USA!” Wang Yunxi appeared smug in front of her grandmother. She was not old enough to marry in her homeland. But, she was also an American by law. That was why she could marry there.
The old lady glanced at her and said no more. Then, she started eating her meal.
Wang Yunxi did not dare to say anything more. But, she was delighted. She felt like she had won that conversation.
The old lady did not acknowledge Mu Yunhai’s presence throughout their meal. It was quite embarrassing for him.
His face darkened after they had finished their meal.
“You don’t have to be bothered by my grandma. She doesn’t even like me. Much less you!”
“Does she hate you? Why is that so?” Mu Yunhai did not understand that. Was she not a little princess in the Pei family?
“She favors boys more. Do you know why my surname is Wang instead of Pei?”
“Why?”
“It’s because my grandma hates me. She doesn’t want me to have their surname. She wants me to follow my mom’s surname.”
Mu Yunhai frowned. That old lady indeed favored boys more than girls.

Lu Man loved eating green peppers. She would always order dishes with green peppers when they dined out.
Pei Zichen saw the green peppers on the dining table. His eyes brightened. His father hated the green peppers the most. They had never seen green peppers when they ate their meals in the past. Since she had ordered the green peppers, his father would surely be outraged!
He was waiting for it but still his father did not show any anger.
Moreover…
That woman even gave him some green peppers during their meal and his father ate that!
His eyes widened in disbelief. He could not believe what he just saw!
How was it possible! How did it happen?
“Xiao Chen, what’s wrong?” Lu Man could not help but noticed his facial expression given how shocked he was.
Pei Zichen did not heed her. He turned to look at his father. “Dad, these are green peppers…”
“Yes.” Pei Xiuyuan seemed to know about it all along. He needed no reminder from his son.
Pei Zichen was shocked. That was true indeed.
His father adored Lu Man deeply. He had even endured the taste he hated the most!
Pei Zichen felt like the whole wide world had crashed down in front of him.
He appeared defeated in front of them. Lu Man could not help but say it, “Quickly go and console your son!”
“Fine.” Pei Xiuyuan obeyed his wife. He scooped a spoonful of corn with pine nuts for his son. “This is your favorite dish, Son. Let’s eat more of it.”
Pei Zichen looked at his father. He was touched but he could not feel any happiness. Still, he replied obediently, “Thank you, Daddy.”
