Chapter 127 Brother, don't be impulsive!

Pei Family Mansion
Pei Ming, Ming Weiyi, and Wen Jiani had just returned home when Wen Lan walked over to Ming Weiyi with a pained expression.

"You came back covered in injuries from that trip, Weiwei, you should rest at home for the next few days..."

As Wenlan spoke, she pulled Mingwei along, looking her over left and right with concern.

It was clear that Wenlan was quite worried about her, so Mingwei smiled and reassured Wenlan, "Mom, this little injury is nothing to worry about."

"Who said it's nothing serious? You should rest at home for a few days and come back to Jiangcheng when you're fully recovered."

Pei Ming was unwilling to let Ming Wei return to Jiangcheng like this; he felt that someone needed to take good care of her in the next few days.

With so many people in the Pei family, they can all take care of her for me.

"Huh?" Ming Wei looked at Pei Ming with a completely bewildered expression.

This wasn't part of her plan! She had agreed to stay at the Pei family's house for only two days.

"What do you mean 'ah'? Your company can run just fine without my brother, let alone you, who's just pretending to be a nobody at the company."

Wen Jiani also persuaded Ming Weiyi to stay and recuperate, and she even gave Ming Weiyi a look that suggested they discuss important matters together.

Mingwei immediately understood Wen Jiani's meaning: she wanted her to stay and investigate together whether Xu Ling was responsible for what happened today.

“Jiani is right, then I’ll stay home and rest for a few days,” Ming Wei said, giving Wen Jiani a knowing look.

As soon as the group entered the living room on the first floor, Pei Cheng brought Tong Ziyan back home.

Pei Ming didn't give Pei Cheng a friendly look when he saw him. He felt that the fright and harm that Ming Wei had suffered today were all related to Pei Cheng.

"Pei Cheng, come with me for a moment." Pei Ming's face was dark; he didn't take his older brother Pei Cheng seriously at all.

Pei Ming had already walked towards the backyard, and Pei Cheng couldn't understand why Pei Ming seemed off.

He naively thought that Pei Ming only didn't want to go to Beihai tomorrow because Ming Weiyi was injured today.

Pei Cheng followed, understanding and agreeing with Pei Ming's idea.

Only Ming Wei and Wen Jiani knew the background of this, and they exchanged a look that suggested they should get away as soon as possible.

Tong Ziyan didn't think too much about it. She pulled Ming Weiyi and said, "Weiwei, I'm so glad you're alright. I owe you so much today, otherwise I don't know if I could have kept the baby."

"Sister-in-law, don't say unlucky things! Jia Ni said you've had a miscarriage. You should go back to your room and rest."

Upon hearing that Tong Ziyan had experienced a miscarriage scare, Wen Lan looked at her with concern, "Ziyan, are you alright?"

Tong Ziyan shook her head. "Mom, the doctor said I'm fine and just need to rest for a few days."

Wen Jianni felt that her chance had come, and she quickly said, "Aunt, please help my sister-in-law upstairs to rest. I'll take care of things here with my second sister-in-law."

Wen Lan thought Wen Jiani's words made a lot of sense, so she gently took Tong Ziyan's arm and prepared to help her upstairs.

In the backyard, the summer flowers are in full bloom, and everything looks beautiful.

Only Pei Ming's expression was quite unpleasant.

"Pei Ming, are you trying to say that you're not going to Beihai?"

Pei Cheng didn't have time to chat with Pei Ming here; he had to rush to accompany Tong Ziyan so that she could rest in peace.

“I will keep my promise to you, but before I come back, I hope you can give me an explanation.”

Pei Ming still had a dark expression, and his aura was no less imposing than Pei Cheng's when he was angry.

"What explanation?" Pei Cheng looked bewildered; he couldn't understand what Pei Ming was saying.

"Today's events had better be an accident, and it had better not be because Xu Ling wanted to harm your wife, but in the end, it was my wife who got hurt!" Pei Ming became angrier as he spoke, and his attitude and tone towards Pei Cheng were extremely poor.

These words caused Pei Cheng's mind to go blank for a moment. He had been worried about Tong Ziyan and the baby all day and hadn't thought about this at all.

Pei Ming didn't want to waste words with Pei Cheng. He spoke again and said sternly to Pei Cheng, "Let me tell you, if she really did what happened today, even if she is your son's mother, you can tell her to wait to go to jail. If she wants to see her son again, she'll have to wait until her next life!"

Just then, Ming Wei and Wen Jiani rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Ming Wei finally witnessed Pei Ming's true temper.

It turns out that someone who is usually so gentle can also be so fierce and frightening.

“Pei Ming, it’s not necessarily Xu Ling who did this today. It might just be an accident. Why are you being so mean to your older brother?”

Mingwei quickly stepped forward and pulled Pei Ming back; she didn't want the two brothers to start arguing because of her suspicions.

Pei Cheng was speechless at Pei Mingchao's outburst, but now that Ming Wei had arrived, he actually had something to say.

“Weiwei, thank you so much for today. Jia Ni said that if it weren’t for you pushing Zi Yan away and standing in front of her, Zi Yan doesn’t know what would have happened.”

"To put it more broadly, your second sister-in-law risked her own safety to save your child. You must remember this kindness for the rest of your life, brother."

Wen Jianni deliberately mentioned Tong Ziyan's unborn child, intentionally conveying the seriousness of the situation to Pei Cheng, knowing that Pei Cheng would understand.

"I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today." Pei Cheng looked at Pei Ming with a very firm gaze.

Isn't this also giving himself and Tong Ziyan an explanation?

If what Pei Ming said was true, and Xu Ling was responsible for today's events, then Xu Ling's intention was to harm his and Tong Ziyan's child.

He's the one who won't let Xu Ling off the hook.

Pei Cheng had already said all that, and Ming Wei also felt it was time to call it a day. She deliberately held her forehead and pretended to be uncomfortable.

"Pei Ming, I'm not feeling well. I need to go back to my room and lie down."

"Okay, I'll accompany you back to your room to rest." Pei Ming could easily see through Ming Weiyi's little trick, but he still cooperated with Ming Weiyi and helped her leave.

In the backyard, only Pei Cheng and Wen Jiani, the brother and sister, remained.

"Jiani, keep your sister-in-law company for a while and tell her that you need to talk to me about something at the company."

Pei Cheng was about to leave when he spoke, his face as sour as Pei Ming's had been just moments before.

Wen Jianni knew without even thinking what Pei Cheng was going to do, and she grabbed him.

"Brother, don't be impulsive! If you go to Xu Ling, and she sends your sister-in-law all sorts of inappropriate photos again, what will you do then!"

Pei Cheng turned around and gave Wen Jiani a somewhat disdainful look. "Are you even studying in London? How do you know everything?"

Wen Jiani felt that now was not the time to discuss whether she knew about these things or not.

She held Pei Cheng tightly and continued, "My sister-in-law was already frightened and her pregnancy was threatened. If she finds out what we're speculating about, it will definitely affect her mood. You don't want anything to happen to my sister-in-law and the baby, do you?"

After hearing what Wen Jiani said, Pei Cheng steadied himself and stopped walking. "Continue," he said.

“Even if Xu Ling did this, we can’t let your sister-in-law know. Your task now is to let her focus on her pregnancy.”

Pei Cheng nodded. "What you said makes sense."

"So, I'll go see Xu Ling tomorrow, and you can stay home and keep your sister-in-law and your children company."

"Okay, I'll have someone investigate the area around where the incident occurred today."

"Brother, that's what I admire about you—you listen to advice."

After saying that, Wen Jiani smiled mischievously and walked out of the backyard. At this time, she still had time to go back to her room for a nap.
