Chapter 199 Who doesn't know who these two siblings are!
The restaurant fell silent instantly.
Whether they were eating, chatting, or playing on their phones, everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Pei Jinhao.
Everyone's eyes were filled with a mix of stunned silence and shock, along with a deep sense of doubt, mainly wondering if they had misheard.
"Uncle..."
Pei Jiyue, one of the people whose names were mentioned, finally couldn't help but be the first to come out and check if there was anything wrong with her ears.
"Are you kidding?"
"How could I joke about something like this?" Pei Jinhao seemed completely oblivious to the atmosphere. "I was just worried about finding partners for you all. Instead of going on blind dates, why not look at the people around you? Besides, you kids are all the right age and look good together. You're all family, so you know each other well and can trust each other, right?"
Pei Jiyue thought to herself, "It's precisely because I know their background that I'm not at ease!"
Everyone knows who these two siblings are!
Lu Anbo is a typical mama's boy who listens to Su Xiaowan's arrangements in everything. He had several relationships before, but they all ended because of his mother.
No matter what kind of girl he dated, Su Xiaowan always felt that she was not good enough for her son. There was even a scene in their family where Su Xiaowan held up a card and made a girl leave her son.
Lu Anbo was sitting right next to his mother at the time. His girlfriend was being humiliated by his mother, but he didn't dare to utter a single word.
The girl was so angry that she cried and threw a glass of water in Lu Anbo's face.
Su Xiaowan was furious. She got up and hit the girl, calling her a gold digger and a cheap woman, using every nasty insult imaginable.
As a result, Lu Anbo remained silent when his girlfriend was humiliated by his mother, but when his mother and girlfriend started fighting, he transformed into a dutiful son and went to help.
Fortunately, the restaurant staff and other customers were kind enough to intervene and break up the fight; otherwise, the girl would have been no match for the mother and son.
After police mediation, Su Xiaowan apologized and compensated the girl, who then accepted her bad luck and broke up with Lu Anbo. The matter should have ended there.
But later, for some reason, a one-sided video began to circulate online, showing Su Xiaowan hitting and cursing someone, with the caption "A great relief: The mother steps in to seek justice for her son after he was cheated out of money and feelings by a gold digger."
The video actually went viral and even trended on social media, with comments like "That was satisfying," "Well done," and "That gold digger deserved it," as if people wanted to personally stand up for the mother and son and seek justice for them.
Some people even dug up the girl's identity, and what followed was a wave of cyberbullying against her.
This girl was vilified and cursed as a gold digger who preys on men for money and affection. Anyone who spoke up for her was labeled as a gold digger like her.
Lu Anbo became a pitiful, innocent boy who received sympathy and pity. Not only did men empathize with him, saying things like "Brother, I understand you," but women also came out and said, "Not all women are like this. I hope Lu Anbo continues to believe in love." There were even women who wanted to date him directly.
Instead of coming forward to explain the truth, Su Xiaowan gave an interview saying, "Thank you everyone for standing up for us, mother and son," appearing very aggrieved.
As for Lu Anbo, he didn't utter a single word and simply let his ex-girlfriend be cyberbullied.
But the girl did not give in; she called the police immediately.
She also posted the full story on her Weibo account, and then retrieved the restaurant's surveillance footage and posted it as well. However, because the surveillance video did not capture any audio, she could only keep posting on Weibo to find customers who were in the restaurant at the time, hoping that anyone who had taken a video could send it to her.
Fortunately, some bystanders actually filmed the whole thing.
Originally, this passerby just found it funny because it was the first time he had seen such a TV drama scene of "taking this money and leaving my son" in real life, so he filmed it to share with his friends. He had no idea that the matter had become such a big deal online. It was only after a friend of his discovered that he was in the surveillance video that the girl had posted on Weibo and forwarded the video to him that he realized that the mother and son had actually turned the truth upside down.
He quickly contacted the girl and sent her the video.
After the girl released the video, the truth finally came to light. In addition, the police also released their investigation results. Those who had been so vocal online suddenly became silent and cowering like turtles.
They were all indignant and insulted the innocent girl, acting as if they were very righteous. But when they found out they had wronged her, they didn't even apologize and instead deleted their accounts and ran away overnight.
However, the girl had preserved all the evidence of the cyberbullying and sued Su Xiaowan, Lu Anbo, and several ringleaders of the cyberbullying, which brought the matter to a close.
This happened not long after Pei Jinhao and Su Xiaowan got married. When the Pei family found out, they all felt ashamed.
At the time, Pei Jiyue was still in college and was afraid that her classmates would find out that her family was related to this mother and son. She still feels lingering fear of that embarrassment. But Pei Jinhao actually wanted to match her up with Lu Anbo.
You wouldn't say that unless you had a fever of 250 degrees Celsius, right?
As for Kong Xinyu, she's no pushover either.
She had been engaged once before, but she secretly went to have an abortion after getting pregnant. Her fiancé's family found out and the man wanted to break off the engagement. Su Xiaowan even went to make a scene, saying that they had started the engagement and then abandoned her, that they had gotten her daughter pregnant and then wanted to break off the engagement, and that they needed an explanation.
The man wanted to save face for them, but Su Xiaowan was relentless in trying to ruin his family's reputation. So the man publicly stated that he had never had a relationship with Kong Xinyu and that the child she was carrying was not his.
After that, no matter how much Su Xiaowan beat and scolded Kong Xinyu, she refused to reveal whose child she was carrying, so Su Xiaowan began to suspect her everywhere.
To call it suspicion is more like an attempt to extort money.
She suspected almost every young talent in the industry who had ever been in contact with Kong Xinyu. Once she suspected someone, she would chase after them like a mad dog, demanding that they take responsibility for Kong Xinyu. She had offended almost every family in the industry with eligible young men.
Su Xiaowan's purpose was quite clear: she wanted to treat Kong Xinyu as a commodity to be sold, hoping to marry her off and gain some benefit.
During that period, the Pei family members felt inexplicably guilty whenever they saw others, and they almost couldn't even lift their heads.
However, the others didn't really take their anger out on the Pei family, since the Pei family was in the same boat as them, because Pei Mingyu was also suspected!
You should know that he only meets Kong Xinyu at family gatherings, and they don't have any personal relationship at all otherwise!
Pei Mingyu still remembers the humiliation of being bitten by a rabid dog. It was a real psychological trauma for him during that time. But Pei Jinhao actually wanted to match him up with Kong Xinyu.
You wouldn't have come up with this idea without polishing your cerebral cortex to a whole new level, would you?
The Pei siblings reached a consensus: their uncle seemed to have gone mad!
