Chapter 202 How does he plan to play?
The Pei family members, like a pack of meerkats, instantly turned their heads towards An Ling, a move so obvious that it sent chills down the spines of the An family.
The An family could only keep giving the Pei family meaningful glances, urging them to turn their heads away quickly, afraid that An Ling would notice something.
Fortunately, An Ling was completely absorbed by what she had found out and had no time to pay attention to the people at the table.
[Pei Jinhao and Su Xiaowan didn't leave in anger after being scolded by their grandmother because they had planned to stay here all day anyway.]
I knew it! Anyone with a brain would know that Grandma would never agree to pairing my cousins with Kong Xinyu and Lu Anbo.
Pei Jinhao and Su Xiaowan never expected that their suggestion would make things happen so easily, so they came today intending to make it a fait accompli!
The An and Pei families were increasingly confused. How were they supposed to cook it?
Pei Mingyu and Pei Jiyue are both self-aware adults. They clearly have no feelings for the brother and sister. How could Pei Jinhao just force them into marriage? Did he expect him to knock them out and throw them into a pot to cook them?
They planned to drug their cousins, then have Kong Xinyu and Lu Anbo sneak into their room tonight, so that Pei Jinhao and his wife could stage a scene the next morning where the thief cries "stop thief!"
[Kong Xinyu and Lu Anbo actually agreed too?]
This family is utterly despicable; they'd do something so low and underhanded!
Even the An family members couldn't control their expressions anymore; these people's disgust had seriously exceeded their tolerance.
Especially Pei Jinhao, he practically watched the Pei siblings grow up, how could he bring himself to do this!
Pei Mingyu silently moved herself further away from Kong Xinyu.
Pei Jinhao finally realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He glanced at the faces of everyone at the table and felt increasingly uneasy.
But he assumed that it was something he had just mentioned that had angered these people, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself that these people were really petty, that he couldn't even bring it up.
And this is just the beginning; tonight and tomorrow morning are the real highlights.
He wanted to see what kind of expressions these people, who always looked down on him, would have when they saw the show he had planned tomorrow.
It's because they're all like misers.
With so much wealth in the Pei family, even if someone just gave him a little bit, he wouldn't have been so broke after losing it all that he was almost detained in the casino and couldn't get back.
His third sister was the same; giving him only one or two companies was a small gesture. If she had been willing to give him more, he wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.
Since they were unwilling to give it to him, he would find a way to take it himself; in the end, he was forced into it by them.
Thinking this way, Pei Jinhao felt less guilty and his eyes stopped wandering. Instead, he comforted himself that everything he was enduring was a sacrifice for the success of the plan.
So what if he was looked down upon and disliked by the Pei family? Hadn't he been disliked by them enough before?
He decided to endure it for the night. As long as he could stay tonight, things would turn around by tomorrow morning!
So, despite the unfriendly expressions of the people at the table, Pei Jinhao was neither angry nor annoyed. Instead, he gave a fawning smile and stood up to serve food to Pei Jinwen.
"Why are you all staring at me? Everyone's eating. It's rare for our family to get together like this, especially during the New Year. Why are you all looking so serious?"
"Come on, Third Sister, this is your favorite."
In the past, if he had taken the initiative to make amends like this, no matter how angry Pei Jinwen was at the time, his expression would have softened considerably.
But today, his third sister gave him a very different feeling.
Pei Jinhao saw his third sister look down at the food he had just picked up from her bowl. He didn't know what she was thinking. It took her a full half minute before she looked up at him again. The emotions in her eyes were so complex that Pei Jinhao couldn't understand them at all.
All he could hear in Pei Jinwen's voice was a deep sense of exhaustion.
"Pei Jinhao, haven't I been more than kind and generous to you?"
Pei Jinhao was stunned. "Huh? Third Sister, what are you saying?"
“Alright,” Pei Jinwen waved his hand. “You’ve eaten and seen me. Now take your family back.”
"Third sister, what do you mean by this? Why are you suddenly acting like this? Today is the Lantern Festival, are you trying to kick me out?"
Hearing that Pei Jinwen was really going to kick them out, Pei Jinhao finally panicked.
But his sister's order to leave was too sudden, wasn't it?
Only the An and Pei families knew that Pei Jinwen was completely disappointed in his younger brother.
"That's right, not just today, you don't need to come here anymore either, otherwise I'll rush you every time you come!"
Yes, chase them away! Grandma is awesome!
Pei Jinhao couldn't understand what had suddenly happened to Pei Jinwen.
No matter what he thought about it, he could only conclude that he had offended the other party by trying to introduce Lu Anbo and Kong Xinyu to the younger generation of the An and Pei families.
Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over something so small?
While cursing under his breath, Pei Jinhao still had to apologize and say nice things to Pei Jinwen on the surface.
"Third Sister, if anything I said just now upset you, I apologize. I'm sorry, I'm clumsy with words, please forgive me this time?"
"Today is the Lantern Festival, after all. Let's be happy on this big holiday, okay?"
"Besides, my whole family came straight here after getting off the plane. I was hoping to stay and spend a few more days with you. How could you bear to send your brother away like this?"
The An and Pei families were already sneering inwardly, but unfortunately they couldn't just tear off Pei Jinhao's thick skin to see just how thick it really was.
If they could, they would also like to pry open Pei Jinhao's skull to see if there was actually a brain inside.
Otherwise, how could he have come up with such an impractical plan?
Drugged?
How does he want to play?
Did you just give the medicine to the Pei siblings and let them take it?
Pei Mingyu and Pei Jiyue aren't fools. Even if the medicine was put in the water, they wouldn't touch it if it was given to them by any member of Pei Jinhao's family.
After all, there's no such thing as an unsolicited favor; their relationship with Pei Jinhao's family wasn't close enough for one side to offer the other water.
However, even if they knew that Pei Jinhao's plan was impossible to achieve, it did not diminish how disgusting this family was.
Clearly, An Ling had the same idea as them.
Pei Jinhao had even prepared the medicine, just waiting for tonight.
Sneaking into my cousins' room wasn't technically difficult; they sleep in their own house and don't lock the door.
[The problem is, if someone sneaks in, they'll wake up, so he needs to administer the drugs beforehand, which seems pretty difficult.]
[Huh? He's planning to ask his aunt for help?]
The An and Pei families: Huh? ???
