Chapter 153 Pei Shizhou's Father and Stepmother
After Xia Yichu finished eating, she and Wang Zhijie walked back. Pei Shizhou was waiting for her at her house. He arrived shortly after Xia Yichu left.
Wu Qiuyue told him that Xia Yichu had gone out and she didn't know where she went or when she would come back. Pei Shizhou had no choice but to wait at her house.
"I need to go to work, you..."
After feeding the cats and dogs, Wu Qiuyue went to work. Wang Zhijie had found her a job; it was from 9 am to 11 am, only requiring her to work two hours in the morning, cleaning for an arcade. The pay was 140 yuan a month, better than her previous job of pasting cardboard boxes.
Seeing that time was running out and Pei Shizhou was still sitting in the courtyard waiting for Xia Yichu, she mustered her courage and cautiously walked over. If it were before, she definitely wouldn't have dared to shoo him away.
For the past month or so, Wang Zhijie has often come over in the afternoons to chat with her, talking about things happening outside and teaching her how to conduct herself. Gradually, she has become more cheerful and much bolder. Although she is still afraid of interacting with strangers, she is much better than before.
"it is good"
Pei Shizhou didn't make things difficult for her and stood up to leave. Wu Qiuyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was willing to leave, and quickly locked the door and followed him.
She walks to work to save money, which takes about forty minutes. Her older sister offered to buy her a bicycle, but she refused because she doesn't know how to ride and doesn't want to waste the money.
"Yi Chu"
Pei Shizhou had just reached the intersection when he saw Xia Yichu and Wang Zhijie talking under a tree. He called out to her and then walked over.
"Go back and get some sleep. Let me know if you need more money."
Before Xia Yichu went home, she gave Wang Zhijie two thousand yuan. Every time Xia Yichu went out to eat with Liu Yaohui, Wang Zhijie paid for it. Liu Yaohui boasted that he would treat him to food and entertainment when he went to Beijing. Wang Zhijie scoffed at him in his heart, but agreed verbally and fawned over him.
Wang Zhijie nodded, and Xia Yichu didn't say anything more. Since Pei Shizhou had already come over, Wang Zhijie waited until Pei Shizhou arrived to greet him before going back.
"Why haven't you gone back yet? Is there something you need?"
"This morning I called Uncle Lin to tell him we'd arrived in Pengcheng. Uncle Lin kept saying on the other end of the phone, 'Why didn't you call back? Do you want to give Uncle Lin a call?'"
I arrived in Shenzhen a bit late last night, so I didn't make a call. But when Pei Shizhou bought his plane ticket in the provincial capital and returned to the guesthouse, he found a place to call Lin Weinan and told him their flight time.
"Okay, I'll trouble you to make the trip."
Xia Yichu was preoccupied with Liu Yaohui's matter and forgot about this incident.
"Is there anything else?"
"Well, I'm going back to Kyoto in a couple of days. Would you like to come with me to visit Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia?"
Pei Shizhou is very busy; Gu Yunting is currently managing all the business. Gu Yunting knows that he can't have surgery on his hand and keeps urging him to go back quickly.
"No, my older brother should be coming to see me in the next few days. I'll decide whether to go to Kyoto later."
"Okay, I'll be going now. Give Uncle Lin a call and don't let him worry."
"OK"
After Pei Shizhou left, Xia Yichu went to the convenience store to make a phone call. After hanging up, she immediately called someone to come and install a phone at home. It was inconvenient not having a phone at home; with one installed, she could make calls anytime.
Pei Shizhou went to the company and then immediately took a plane to Kyoto. Since Xia Yichu wasn't going to Kyoto, he decided to return there as soon as possible.
Gu Yunting said his father had come to his house looking for him, and his second wife, Feng Yarou, had also gone to his company. I wonder what they're up to? It's definitely not good news.
A few hours later, Pei Shizhou got off the plane, and Gu Yunting drove to the airport to pick him up. Gu Yunting had called him when he boarded the plane.
"Shizhou, you're finally back. Your dad and your stepmother somehow found out about our company. Your stepmother has been coming to the company to see you every day these past few days, and I'm about to be driven crazy by her."
As soon as Gu Yunting saw him, she started complaining. Pei Shizhou and Gu Yunting had made a lot of money in the early days of their building materials business, and the business was still going strong. Now the two of them were investing in real estate, which was fortunate, in addition to the money they made in the building materials business.
Pei Shizhou's maternal grandmother also enjoyed business, and when she heard that her grandson wanted to start a business, she gave him all her savings to support him. She also owned several properties, which she planned to pass on to him in the future. His only son disliked business and remained unmarried.
"Let's go back first."
"Okay, get in the car!"
"How is it? What did the doctor say?" Gu Yunting asked as he drove.
"He said he wasn't very confident. Why did Feng Yarou and he come to me?"
Since returning from military service, I've only seen my father once. That "good" father, upon learning of my discharge, came to my door and gave me a severe scolding. He said I was about to be promoted to battalion commander, and how could I be discharged at this time?
Of course, it wasn't out of concern for him, but rather because he thought Pei Shizhou was promising and that his younger son could benefit from his success in the future. Pei Shizhou was too lazy to explain to him and didn't mention his injured hand.
In his mind, this father was dispensable, and Pei Feng probably felt the same way. Apart from bearing the surname Pei, he wasn't even registered with them on the household registration.
"She said she wanted to know her son's tuition fees, saying she wanted to send him to an international school."
Why doesn't Feng Yarou just fly to the moon? Her good-for-nothing son is good at everything from eating and drinking to having fun, and he even wants to study at an international university that costs around 200,000 yuan a year.
Gu Yunting gave her a good scolding, but she still came the next day; she's really shameless. Pei Shizhou glanced at the time; the Pei family should all be here by now.
"Go directly to the Pei family."
"it is good"
The Pei family's house is a bit far from the city center, but not too far. Pei Feng bought the house himself after Pei Shizhou's mother passed away. It's a two-story building with three rooms on the second floor and one room on the first floor, just right for their family.
When Pei Shizhou arrived, the Pei family had just finished eating, and the housekeeper was clearing the table. Pei Zongyu, Pei Shizhou's half-brother, heard the sound of a car coming from the door and excitedly ran out.
"Big Brother"
Pei Shizhou got out of the car without even glancing at him, walked right past him, and went into the Pei family home. Gu Yunting scoffed and followed him inside.
Pei Zongyu was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. He knew from his mother when he was a child that Pei Shizhou's maternal family was rich.
Thinking that she was related to Pei Shizhou by blood, she tried to please him when he came back so that she could get some benefits from him.
But over the years, Pei Shizhou has never given him a kind look. He even mocked Pei Shizhou for a while after learning of his military discharge. Who would have thought he'd start a large company so soon? If only he and Pei Shizhou were full brothers.
"Where have you been? I've been looking for you several times, why are you only coming now?"
Upon seeing Pei Shizhou, Pei Feng immediately adopted a condescending attitude, disliking his son who resembled Zhou Wenbin so much from birth. Feng Yarou tugged at Pei Feng's clothes, trying to get him to be more polite, as Pei Shizhou still needed to pay for their son's tuition!
"What do you want?"
Pei Shizhou said impatiently that he didn't want Pei Feng to bother his maternal grandparents, which was why he took the initiative to visit the Pei family.
For the sake of his youngest son, Pei Feng softened his tone: "As the eldest brother, you paid for Xiao Yu's college tuition. He won't forget your kindness in the future. Brothers should help each other."
"Yes, brother, I will definitely repay you in the future."
"No."
"You, Pei Shizhou, you are my son. It's only natural for me to ask you for money."
"Shi Zhou, can't we just borrow it from you?"
Feng Yarou decided to try a different approach. There's no precedent for a son asking his father for money back. She'd get the money first, and deal with repayment later.
"Then come asking me for retirement money when you can't move anymore, or..."
"Or what?" Feng Yarou asked hopefully.
"Or wait until Pei Zongyu dies and his parents ask me for tuition fees, then I'll consider whether or not to pay for his tuition."
"Pei Shizhou, you bastard."
Pei Feng picked up an ashtray from the table and threw it at him, but Pei Shizhou dodged it.
"Get out, and don't ever come back."
Feng Yarou was very anxious; how could she possibly fall out with Pei Shizhou at this time?
"Then please don't come to my company again. I don't have any younger brothers or sisters."
