Pei Shaoyun and Su Menglian were stunned by Pei Xiongtian's words. They looked at each other and Pei Feng frowned.
There were three elders in the Pei family. Pei Mingzong was the eldest and also the father of Pei Shaoyun and his brothers. Other than the grandfather, there were two others — second brother, Pei Jingzong, and third brother, Pei Qingzong.
The "third grandfather" that Pei Xiongtian mentioned … was the third brother, Pei Qingzong.
The Pei family's rules were very strict. The three elders were the core leaders of the Pei family.
The grandfather, Pei Mingzong, did not practice martial arts but was a capable person in the family business. The second brother, Pei Jingzong, was indifferent and did not like to fight for power. He was mainly in charge of the family's charity work. The third brother, Pei Qingzong, was a peak half-step Grandmaster and the number one martial artist in the Pei family. Pei Qingzong had many contacts in the martial arts world and had many friends.
In recent years, the grandfather, Pei Mingzong's health had deteriorated and he had gradually retired. The real leaders of the Pei family … were Pei Qingzong, Pei Shangyun, and Pei Tianyun.
Among the three elders of the Pei family, Pei Qingzong was the one who objected the most when his father, Pei Shaoyun, married his mother, Su Menglian. He was also the angriest and most abhorrent when Pei Shaoyun and the Pei family fell out. Now that his family was called to the Enjoyment Hall … they wouldn't be treated well!
"Menglian, Little Feng, let's go."
Pei Qingzong had personally called for his family. Pei Shaoyun couldn't just ignore him. Although he had left the Pei Residence in the Imperial Capital once again, he didn't break ties with them this time. It wouldn't be right if he didn't attend the elder's summons.
"Dad, are you really going?"
Pei Feng asked in a low voice.
"Third Uncle has asked. I have to go and greet him. Otherwise, people will criticize me."
Pei Feng took a deep breath and did not say anything else. He turned to the others behind him and said, "Aunt Shen, Miss Yu, please take a seat."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chang Xiaoe, He Hua, and the other two and said faintly, "The four of you, wait at the entrance of the hall and help me welcome the guests later."
After that, he followed his parents to the VIP hall on the opposite side.
At the entrance of the Premium Hall, there was a huge vertical celebration poster. At this time, the process of the birthday banquets on both sides had already started.
At the entrance of the Hall of Glory, there was also a huge celebration poster. The only difference was that the huge LCD screen outside the entrance was displaying a huge caption congratulating Madam Su Menglian on her 40th birthday. The limelight … was completely occupied by Pei Feng's family.
Walking into the Glory Hall, it was already brightly lit. Everything had already been set up.
Many people from the Pei Family had come. Many of the elders had already taken their seats. As for the guests who weren't from the Pei Family … they didn't seem to have arrived yet.
When they saw Pei Shaoyun and his family walk in, all the members of the Pei Family who were present had dark expressions on their faces. Their faces were filled with hostility.
"Third Uncle."
"Third Uncle."
Pei Shaoyun and Su Menglian went up to greet Pei Qingzong when they saw him sitting at the main table with a solemn expression. Pei Feng looked at this old man who had scolded her mother in public many times in her previous life, making her feel extremely embarrassed and embarrassed. Her eyes were filled with coldness.
He really didn't want to greet him, but Pei Shaoyun turned around and glared at him. For the sake of his father, he greeted him faintly. "Third Grandfather."
Pei Qingzong grunted coldly. His gaze swept past Pei Shaoyun and Su Menglian before finally landing on Pei Feng.
"Little Feng, I heard that you were the one who organized your mother's birthday banquet?"
Pei Qingzong's tone was cold and condescending. He sounded like an elder interrogating a junior. There was also a hint of disdain in his tone.
An undetectable coldness flashed across Pei Feng's eyes. He replied faintly, "Yes."
In his previous life, when he was living with the Pei Family in the Imperial Capital, Pei Qingzong had always treated him with an arrogant and interrogative attitude. He was like a police officer scolding a thief. He was even worse with his mother, Su Menglian. If she did anything wrong or didn't go his way, he would scold her coldly.
In Pei Qingzong's eyes, Luo Meiyi and the other daughters-in-law of the Pei Family were the real daughters-in-law of the Pei Family. Pei Xingtian and Pei Xiongtian were the real descendants of the Pei Family. As for his mother, Su Menglian … She was the kind of poor girl who seduced rich young masters and stirred up trouble. In ancient times, she couldn't even be considered the legal wife. At most, she could be considered a concubine or a servant girl.
As for Pei Feng … He was a descendant of the Pei Family. He couldn't be compared to Pei Xingtian or Pei Xiongtian. He couldn't even be compared to a branch family descendant.
In his previous life, Pei Qingzong had said this many times in front of the Pei Family. At that time, he was indeed not outstanding in all aspects. He couldn't compare to Pei Xingtian or Pei Xiongtian. In addition, he had a cowardly personality. He could only choose to remain silent and resign himself to adversity. His mother, Su Menglian, often wept because of this matter and was depressed.
"His academics aren't that good. His aptitude in martial arts is also poor. He doesn't need to be taught how to spend money. He learns to be extravagant, to put on airs, to maintain his reputation … Holding a birthday banquet here would cost at least a million. Your father doesn't have the protection of the Pei Family and lives a difficult life. It's not easy to earn some money. Can he afford to squander it like this?"
At this point, Pei Qingzong looked at Pei Xiongtian. "Xiong 'er, did you give him the card?"
Pei Xiongtian sneered. "Third Grandpa, he refused to accept it. He also refused to give the giant LCD screen and the open-air parking lot to my mother. He even arrogantly said that he would pay two million to book out our VIP Lounge and let you and the other uncles go to the entrance of the hotel to have a birthday banquet!"
As soon as this was said, the crowd was in an uproar.
The Pei Family was rich and had a large business. Not to mention Pei Tianyun's and Luo Meiyi's families, even the uncles of the branch family had over a hundred million in assets!
Relying on the Pei Family, basically everyone in the Pei Family was able to bask in the light. They were either rich or noble and lived the life of the upper class.
What kind of person was Pei Feng?
He was the biggest joke in the third generation of the Pei Family. He was the weakest, the most useless, and the easiest to bully. In addition, he had a foolish father who insisted on going against the Pei Family and ended up living in poverty … When did this kid dare to speak to Brother Xiong like this?
Not only did he go against Brother Xiong, but he also booked the VIP Lounge for two million? Bragging to the heavens, did he eat a leopard's guts?!
All the Pei Family descendants present, whether it was the main family or the branch family, had basically bullied and ridiculed him. When they heard Pei Xiongtian's words, a few of the arrogant and domineering collateral family descendants who looked down on him couldn't sit still anymore. They all stood up!
One of them, Pei Shaojie, pointed at his nose and walked towards him in big strides.
"Pei Feng, did you eat a leopard's guts? How dare you speak to Third Grandpa and the other elders like this? How dare you speak to Brother Xiong like this?! "
Pei Shaojie was usually an arrogant and despotic person who stirred up trouble. He rushed in front of Pei Feng and completely disregarded Pei Shaoyun and Su Menglian's presence. He raised his hand and slapped Pei Feng's face!
