"Who are you? My son has a girlfriend. Please stop bothering him."

Seeing that Pei Shizhou didn't take him seriously, Pei Feng turned his attention to Xia Yichu.

"Xiao Chu is my girlfriend, it's none of your business."

Feng Yarou whispered in Pei Feng's ear, her eyes glancing at Xia Yichu. Pei Shizhou immediately shielded Xia Yichu behind him, preventing Feng Yarou from looking at her.

"You are the daughter Xia Guoan just recognized. I know the Xia and Zhou families are old friends. But with me here, the Xia and Pei families will never become in-laws."

Pei Feng hated the Xia family the most and made some harsh remarks to Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu.

"I can change my surname to Zhou, instead of Pei."

"You unfilial son, your mother will never agree to this."

Zhou Wenhui really didn't want her son to have the surname Zhou. Zhou Wenbin had asked Pei Shizhou to change his surname several times before, but Pei Shizhou had never agreed.

His mother said that the Pei family, including Pei Feng, had no good intentions, and she didn't want her son to have the surname Zhou, so that Pei Feng wouldn't have the opportunity to covet the Zhou family's property.

Pei Shizhou was still young then, and Zhou Wenhui dared not gamble, fearing that her son would become a tool for the Pei family to extort money from the Zhou family in the future. Pei Shizhou understood all of this, so every time his uncle asked him to change his surname, he refused.

Pei Feng didn't know the reason; he only knew that Zhou Wenhui wouldn't allow Pei Shizhou to have the surname Zhou. Before his younger son was born, Pei Feng also didn't want his only son to have the surname Zhou.

"You have no right to mention my mother, get out of here."

Every time Zhou Wenhui is mentioned, Pei Shizhou loses control of his emotions. Xia Yichu senses this and takes Pei Shizhou's arm to comfort him.

"In short, I will not agree to you changing your surname, and neither will your mother."

Pei Feng found the scene before him utterly jarring; Zhou Wenhui had loved Xia Guohua until her death. He wanted to torment Pei Shizhou, ensuring her son would never find happiness.

"Ah Feng, don't worry. Shi Zhou, we've come this time to ask you to go home. You haven't been home in a long time, and your dad often talks about you."

Feng Yarou gently advised Pei Feng, but Pei Feng remained noncommittal. Tengda Company was the largest pharmaceutical company in Kyoto; even just one percent of its shares would be enough for them to live comfortably for a lifetime.

Both Pei Feng and Feng Yarou wanted Pei Shizhou to marry Zhang Shanshan, and Feng Yarou had to compromise for the sake of money. Moreover, now that she knew Pei Shizhou liked Xia Guoan's daughter, she was even more determined to push for his marriage to Zhang Shanshan.

According to Zhang Shanshan, she visited her uncle's military unit three years ago, where she met Pei Shizhou. She found out about the Pei family and then went to their home. She said she had tried to see Pei Shizhou, but he ignored her.

She had no choice but to approach Pei Feng; she knew Pei Shizhou and his father didn't have a good relationship. She wouldn't have gone to them if she hadn't been desperate.

"Don't waste your time, I'm not going back."

Pei Shizhou's emotions stabilized, remaining completely calm. He wondered what Pei Feng would gain from him this time.

"If you don't go back, I'm going to the Zhou family. I'll ask your grandparents how they raised you; you have no manners at all. You've been back in Kyoto for so long, and you've hardly ever been home."

Despite what Pei Feng is saying now, he actually doesn't want to go to the Zhou family at all. He doesn't dare say these things either; he just wants Pei Shizhou to compromise and go home, knowing that Pei Shizhou doesn't want him to come and bother his grandparents.

"Pei Feng, your Pei family has such good upbringing that you could have an affair with Feng Yarou while my mother was still alive, and even had a child, Pei Zongna."

Pei Feng, enraged, said, "Enough, Pei Shizhou, what nonsense are you spouting?"

I've said before that Zongna's father was kind to me, and he's passed away now, which is why I'm so good to Zongna.

Pei Shizhou scoffed. Pei Feng was still trying to fool him like a five or six-year-old child. No, when Pei Feng said that to him when he was six, he never believed him either.

"You're right, Pei Zongna's biological father deserves to die a horrible death."

Pei Shizhou has never met a ruthless person who curses themselves to death, so don't think he knows nothing. Back when Feng Yarou approached her mother, Feng Yarou herself said that she and Pei Feng had never separated and had been together all these years.

Feng Yarou was never married. She even said that the year after Pei Feng married his mother, he helped her find a job. Her workplace and residence were not far from their home, and Pei Feng often visited her.

"you……"

Pei Feng was so angry that his face turned red, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Pei Shizhou. Feng Yarou quickly pulled Pei Feng away.

"Shizhou, you've gone too far! How can you frame us like this? Our relationship was completely innocent before I married your father."

"Feng Yarou, didn't you tell my mother twenty years ago that Pei Zongna was his daughter? Is it really necessary for you to lie to me now?"

Pei Feng glared at Feng Yarou with ill intent. He couldn't understand how Zhou Wenhui had discovered his affair with Feng Yarou. He was very careful when meeting with Feng Yarou and rarely stayed overnight at her place unless Zhou Wenhui returned to the Zhou family home.

If Zhou Wenhui hadn't known about Feng Yarou's affair and hadn't said she wanted to separate from him and raise her son on her own, Pei Feng wouldn't have killed her so cruelly.

When he pursued Zhou Wenhui, besides her family background, he genuinely liked her and wanted to spend his life with her.

It was Feng Yarou who wouldn't let him go and kept pestering him. At first, she tried to get him to do work by bringing up their past relationship, and later she tried to seduce him repeatedly.

Zhou Wenhui liked Xia Guohua, but after they got married, she used her pregnancy as an excuse to prevent him from touching her. The two slept in separate rooms, and even after the child was born, she wouldn't sleep with him, always finding various excuses.

As time went on, Pei Feng began to neglect his wife and son, and he couldn't bring himself to like Pei Shizhou anymore. He was a normal man; Zhou Wenhui wouldn't let him touch her, and he certainly wouldn't be able to resist Feng Yarou's seduction.

However, he didn't want Zhou Wenhui to break up with him, and Feng Yarou was right. If the Zhou family found out about their relationship, they definitely wouldn't let him off the hook, so he had no choice but to strike first.

"Are you lying? I didn't, Ah Feng, you have to believe me."

Feng Yarou's eyes darted away, and her voice unconsciously rose in pitch.

"Feng Yarou, I was in the room the day you went to see my mother, and I heard everything you said clearly."

He was asleep at first, but was woken up by Feng Yarou's voice. He pressed his ear to the door to listen. After Feng Yarou left, he tiptoed back into bed and pretended to be asleep.

His mother watched him by the bedside for a long time, finally sighing before leaving. At that time, he didn't understand why his mother wasn't sad at all, but just stared at him blankly.

Looking back now, his mother was probably weighing the pros and cons, wondering if leaving Pei Feng would affect him. What Pei Shizhou didn't know was that when he was just a few months old, Feng Yarou had told Zhou Wenhui about Pei Feng and her.

They only talked about their past, but didn't mention that they had a daughter. At that time, Zhou Wenhui endured it and didn't make a scene for his sake.

Feng Yarou became anxious again when she saw that Zhou Wenhui showed no signs of separating from Pei Feng after several years. This time, she came to her door and directly said that she and Pei Feng had a daughter and that she was pregnant with another child.

This finally made Zhou Wenhui decide to separate from Pei Feng; she only said "separate," not "divorce." Divorce was rare, almost nonexistent, in those days.

At the time, she wanted to take Pei Shizhou to her brother Zhou Wenbin's army to serve as a military doctor, but Pei Feng mistakenly thought she was going to the army to find Xia Guohua.

He was both afraid that the Zhou family would find out about his affair and angry that Zhou Wenhui still harbored feelings for Xia Guohua. That's why he arranged for a truck to run over Zhou Wenhui and kill her; he did regret it.

"No, I didn't go to see Zhou Wenhui. Ah Feng, he's lying. You have to believe me. He's just trying to see us argue, that's why he's framing me."

Pei Feng knew that Pei Shizhou disdained lying and harbored resentment towards Feng Yarou. However, so much time had passed, and there was no point in dwelling on it now. The most important thing right now was to get Pei Shizhou to marry Zhang Shanshan.
