By the time the two realized what was happening, the door to Pei Shizhou's house was already closed.

"Dad, it's all your fault. Now I've lost my job too. Why did you make so many demands on Pei Shizhou? Does he seem like the kind of person who would listen to you?"

He had been fawning over Pei Shizhou for so many years, all for the sake of a better life for himself. Pei Zongyu had never fawned over anyone since he was a child; it was all because his parents were useless, and he could only rely on himself to get benefits from Pei Shizhou.

"I'm only doing this for your own good, because I'm afraid you'll suffer and be wronged."

In fact, Pei Feng just couldn't control himself. Although he knew that Pei Shizhou wouldn't listen to him, he just couldn't help wanting to lecture Pei Shizhou.

"I don't care, I'm going to work at Pei Shizhou's company."

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll go knock on the door and ask Pei Shizhou to come out."

"Then you should treat him better. Later, I'll take over his clients and we'll start our own company."

Then you and Mom can just stay home and enjoy life, without having to do any work. I'll hire a nanny for you, and she'll give you several thousand yuan a month. You can buy whatever you want, and go wherever you want to go."

Hearing these words, Pei Feng felt his blood boil. Pei Shizhou was an ungrateful wretch, while his youngest son was much more sensible and intelligent.

"Okay, don't worry!"

Pei Feng excitedly stepped forward and knocked on Pei Shizhou's door, his previous anger gone. He raised his hand and knocked gently, a smile on his face.

Pei Zongyu watched with satisfaction, relieved that his father had come to his senses. What was face worth anyway? He'd get his money back from Pei Shizhou once he made it.

"They won't leave easily. What are you planning to do?"

Xia Yichu sat next to Pei Shizhou, her head resting on his chest. She was now almost certain that Zhou Wenbin had begun targeting Pei Feng. His actions were swift, which also proved that he most likely knew about Pei Feng's involvement in Zhou Wenhui's death.

I just don't know why Zhou Wenbin discovered this matter seven or eight years ahead of time. Could it be that the fact that things happened earlier than expected is related to him?

Xia Yichu was puzzled. This shouldn't be! She hadn't done anything to the Pei family. If she had to say what she had done, it was giving Pei Shizhou some space water, which restored his hand to almost the same condition as before.

"You stay here, I'll go out and send them away."

The knocking continued, growing louder and louder, proving that the person knocking was losing patience.

"No need, I'll go with you."

Pei Shizhou didn't refuse and took Xia Yichu's hand as they went out together.

The door opened, and Pei Feng's face was full of smiles, about to speak. But seeing Pei Shizhou's face, he couldn't bring himself to say those humiliating words. What kind of father tries to please his son?

Besides, the knocking had alerted the neighbors, who were all peering out from their doorways, making it even harder for Pei Feng to say anything.

"Big brother, what Dad said just now was a joke."

Seeing Pei Feng standing there dumbfounded, Pei Zongyu had no choice but to step forward and explain himself. He also tugged at Pei Feng, urging him to hurry up and explain.

"Yes, I was just talking nonsense. Let Xiaoyu work at your company, and do everything according to your requirements."

"Yes, brother, I can do any kind of work."

Pei Zongyu looked at Pei Shizhou with a fawning expression, which was quite comical. Xia Yichu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Pei Zongyu was stunned. Pei Shizhou's life was too good! Xia Yichu had fair skin, a beautiful face, a tall figure, and a lively temperament. His previous school beauty was far inferior to Xia Yichu.

Pei Zongyu's eyes widened. He planned to snatch Pei Shizhou's company clients and then Xia Yichu away. He wouldn't let go of anything that belonged to Pei Shizhou.

Pei Shizhou's eyes darkened as he looked at Pei Zongyu, and he pulled Xia Yichu back. His face grim, he said, "Pei Zongyu, I won't let you work at my company. Forget about it. Get out of here, or I'll make you hit me."

Upon hearing Pei Shizhou's words, Pei Zongyu quickly suppressed his thoughts about Xia Yichu. Before he could speak, he heard Pei Feng's exasperated voice.

"Pei Shizhou, how dare you?"

"He wouldn't dare, but I would."

Everyone turned to look and saw Zhou Wenbin striding towards them menacingly, carrying a broom from his home. Zhou Wenbin had just been at home watching TV and chatting with his parents when a neighbor came to his house to call him, saying that Pei Feng had gone to Pei Shizhou's house to cause him trouble.

Without a word, he grabbed the broom from his house and ran over. He had been holding back from going to Pei Feng's house to avoid causing trouble, for fear of alerting him. But Pei Feng had come to him asking for a beating.

Pei Feng shuddered when he saw Zhou Wenbin, and Pei Zongyu, realizing something was wrong, turned and ran. By the time Pei Feng reacted and tried to run, the broom had already landed on him.

Pei Feng howled in pain, dodging and shouting, "Big brother, I came to see Shi Zhou."

Zhou Wenbin didn't care about anything else and started beating Pei Feng mercilessly.

"Zhou Wenbin, are you crazy! What right do you have to hit me! Can't I even come to see my own son?"

"I won't listen, I won't listen, you're just spouting nonsense."

Zhou Wenbin muttered this sentence to himself, which made Xia Yichu laugh hysterically.

Grandpa and Grandma Zhou arrived late. Grandma Zhou glanced at Zhou Wenbin and Pei Feng but ignored them, and went straight to Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou.

"Grandma Zhou"

"grandmother"

The two called out to Grandma Zhou, but Grandpa Zhou stayed with the crowd of onlookers and didn't come over.

"A-Zhou, Xiao-Chu, let's go home for dinner."

Grandma Zhou didn't want Xia Yichu to see these upsetting things. She had to talk to Azhou and quickly resolve Pei Feng's issues so that Xia Yichu wouldn't suffer after marrying into the family.

"Xiao Chu, let's go."

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu supported Grandma Zhou on either side, while Pei Feng saw Pei Shizhou trying to leave. He dodged Zhou Wenbin's broom and shouted, "Pei Shizhou, are you just going to watch your uncle beat me like this?"

Upon hearing these words, the surrounding neighbors gathered around, pointing and whispering.

"Pei Feng, you're always causing trouble for A-Zhou. Have you ever cared about him since he was a child?"

Grandma Zhou wouldn't let Pei Shizhou speak. After all, Pei Feng was A-Zhou's biological father. It didn't matter how he treated Pei Feng in private. But with all the neighbors around, it was better to be careful.

"Was it me who didn't care about him? It was your Zhou family who insisted on taking him away."

Pei Feng was beaten back step by step, finally collapsing to the ground and giving up. Zhou Wenbin was also exhausted and stood by, panting, to rest.

The neighbors, witnessing this scene, felt genuine pity for Pei Feng and began to think the Zhou family had gone too far. Grandma Zhou also sensed this and quickly tried to salvage her reputation.

"Pei Feng, don't think that just because you and Feng Yarou say that Pei Zongyu was a premature baby, everyone will believe you. You and Feng Yarou had Pei Zongyu before your marriage. If we don't take Azhou away, he will be abused by you sooner or later."

Now everyone is pointing fingers at Pei Feng again. Yes, as the saying goes, if there's a stepmother, there's bound to be a stepfather.

"You're lying, I didn't."

"Do you think everyone's blind? Can't they see through your and Feng Yarou's tricks? Who knows, Pei Zongna might also be your child. All these years have passed, and we've never heard of Pei Zongna's biological father or any of her relatives visiting her."

"No, that's not it, she..."

Grandma Zhou didn't want to listen to Pei Feng's nonsense, so she interrupted him directly.

"Pei Feng, you don't need to explain to us. The Pei family's affairs have nothing to do with the Zhou family. When you need to support yourself in your old age, I will have A-Zhou give you a few hundred yuan every month to fulfill his obligations."

Don't even think about anything else. Xiao Chu, A Zhou, let's go home.

After his mother finished speaking, Zhou Wenbin picked up a broom again and started hitting Pei Feng. Pei Feng shouldn't even think about letting A-Zhou take care of him in his old age; he doesn't deserve it.

A moment later, Xia Yichu heard Pei Feng begging for mercy. That's right, it's better to keep Pei Feng alive to torture him; it's not worth risking your own life to kill him.
