Xia Yichu touched a door and was about to open it to go out when she heard voices outside. She immediately hid in her spatial dimension.

"Pei Zongyu, you idiot, you actually believed what Pei Shizhou said. How could he possibly let you work at his company?"

Pei Zongna's sarcastic voice could be heard from outside. Xia Yichu came out of her spatial dimension again and leaned against the door to listen to their conversation, wondering whose room she was in now.

"Pei Zongna, you're just jealous of me. Although you're also Dad's child, you're an illegitimate child, the product of Dad's infidelity. I'm not an illegitimate child."

Therefore, Pei Shizhou will never accept you, but I'm different. I'm his younger brother, so it's normal for him to help me out.

Pei Zongyu said triumphantly that he told his parents that Pei Shizhou said he would consider letting him work at the company, and his parents were very happy.

It wasn't for nothing that he had worked so hard to please Pei Shizhou all these years. Pei Shizhou had no brothers or sisters, so sooner or later he would treat his only brother well.

He used to be young and ignorant, and he would speak ill of Pei Shizhou in front of his classmates. After he learned that Pei Shizhou owned his own company and made so much money, he never spoke ill of him in front of his classmates again. Instead, he would boast to them that Pei Shizhou was his older brother.

"Pei Zongyu, don't forget, Dad only married Mom because she was pregnant with you."

Moreover, Zhou Wenhui had only been dead for a few months at the time, so we were both equally hated by Pei Shizhou, and he might even hate you more.

"you…"

Pei Zongyu pointed at Pei Zongna, too angry to speak. He knew in his heart that Pei Zongna was telling the truth. His parents told everyone he was premature, but less than a month after Zhou Wenhui died, his father married his mother, and he was born seven months later.

The neighbors all knew what was going on between Pei Feng and Feng Yarou. The Zhou family brought Pei Shizhou home, and Zhou Wenbin beat Pei Feng up, leaving him bedridden for half a month. After that, he stopped interfering in the Pei family's affairs, and outsiders didn't say anything.

"So Pei Zongyu, when Pei Shizhou said he was considering having you work for his company, he was just making excuses for you."

Pei Shizhou used to be unwilling to even give him a perfunctory answer, so why would he say he'd consider it this time?

"impossible"

Pei Zongyu roared in exasperation, even though Pei Shizhou's attitude towards him had clearly improved.

"Do you think Pei Shizhou and the Zhou family are fools? Do you think they don't know you got pregnant before your parents got married and you still want to work at his company? Dream on."

"Pei Zongna, you bitch."

Pei Zongyu raised his hand to hit Pei Zongna, but Pei Zongna was not about to stand there and let him hit her, so she took a few steps back.

At this moment, Feng Yarou heard the noise upstairs and hurriedly went upstairs, only to see her son angrily about to hit his daughter.

"What are you two siblings doing? You're disturbing your dad's sleep, and he's throwing a tantrum downstairs! It's past ten o'clock, go to sleep now."

Pei Zongna scoffed and went back to her room without even glancing at Feng Yarou.

"Pei Zongna, you..."

Feng Yarou covered Pei Zongyu's mouth with her hand to prevent him from shouting.

"Xiaoyu, calm down. Your dad will come up and yell at you later."

Feng Yarou pushed him into the room. The moment the door opened, Xia Yichu quickly hid inside. Feng Yarou turned on the light and then closed the door.

"Mom, Pei Zongna has gone too far. I'm her own brother, how can she act like this as a sister?"

Pei Zongyu took off his shoes, threw them on the ground, and lay down on the bed angrily.

"Xiaoyu, you only have one older sister, so don't hold it against her. From now on, you two siblings should support each other."

Feng Yarou walked over and sat on the bed, looking at her son tenderly. What she wanted to say was that Pei Zongyu was not good at studying and could not endure hardship.

She might need Pei Zongna's help in the future, and seeing her son's angry expression, she was afraid that saying it would make him even angrier.

"I don't need her support. When I start working at Pei Shizhou's company, I'll have everything I want. Mom, go close my window, it's freezing."

"Okay, quickly cover yourself with the blanket."

"Mom, how about I bring some things to the Zhou family tomorrow and chat with my grandparents?"

Feng Yarou's hand froze as she closed the window. Her son looked down on her parents. He never addressed them as such, yet now he addressed Zhou Wenhui's parents so affectionately.

"Xiaoyu, the Zhou family won't give you a friendly look. Why go looking for trouble?"

Feng Yarou closed the window and came back, then sat back on the bed. She had rushed upstairs in such a hurry that she was only dressed lightly and felt a little cold. She pulled Pei Zongyu's blanket over her feet. She felt uncomfortable inside, but her face remained impassive.

"Mom, it's all your fault. Why couldn't you wait until you married Dad before getting pregnant? If you had, I might not have been able to get along well with the Zhou family and Pei Shizhou."

He could also get some benefits from the Zhou family. As long as they gave him a little something, he would never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life.

"Xiaoyu, you can go find Pei Shizhou. But whatever you do, don't go to the Zhou family, especially Zhou Wenbin."

"Mom, why?"

"There's no reason why, just do as I say."

People think that Zhou Wenbin didn't send Pei Feng and Feng Yarou, that scumbag and despicable couple, to be criticized, or make Pei Feng lose his job, because of Pei Shizhou.

Only Feng Yarou knew that it wasn't like that. If Zhou Wenhui hadn't told Zhou Wenbin not to harm Pei Feng, Zhou Wenbin would have killed them both without hesitation.

After Zhou Wenhui's death, Feng Yarou went for a prenatal checkup and encountered Zhou Wenbin at the hospital. Zhou Wenhui's death was a huge blow to her parents; her mother was hospitalized, and Zhou Wenbin was taking care of her at the hospital at the time.

Zhou Wenbin called her to a stop, looked at her belly and said, "Feng Yarou, if it weren't for my sister's kindness, you and Pei Feng would both be down there with her."

Hearing these words, Feng Yarou was so frightened that she fled and had nightmares for several days. Later, she spent some time with Pei Feng in fear and anxiety, and only felt relieved after nothing happened.

It seemed that Zhou Wenbin was unaware that she had contacted Zhou Wenhui. He thought to himself that Zhou Wenhui was easy to fool, no wonder she was so easily deceived by Pei Feng.

Because of her naivety and kindness, Pei Feng, who was initially attracted to her because of her family background, later fell in love with her. If it weren't for Feng Yarou's scheming, perhaps the two could have lived happily ever after.

Feng Yarou deliberately let Zhou Wenhui discover her, so that she would know that she had unknowingly ruined Pei Feng's relationship with her.

As Feng Yarou had predicted, Zhou Wenhui later discovered that she had been deceived by Pei Feng. She hated Pei Feng, but as a woman herself, she sympathized with Feng Yarou.

Zhou Wenhui knew her brother well. If he knew Pei Feng had lied to her, he would stop at nothing to kill him. Her brother was a doctor; killing someone would be a piece of cake for him. She couldn't let her brother get his hands dirty for her sake, especially since she and Pei Feng had a son.
