The people who heard the commotion looked over. They looked at the child on the ground, then at Pei Ziqi. Their expressions varied. Some were mocking, some were helpless, some were contemplating …
The children of the two ex-wives of the Li family did not return home all year round. They lived with their aunt, as if there was a huge conflict between them and their father.
They were all "family friends", so they knew about this.
The root of the conflict was the stepmother and the son.
There was a show to watch.
"Hao Hao, what's wrong?" The woman hurried over.
"She bullied me, sob sob …" The child clutched his mother's sleeve tightly. Snot and tears were running down his face. He looked miserable.
The woman frowned and looked at Pei Ziqi.
The two women, one old and one young, looked at each other silently.
The old lady of the Li family stood up shakily. At the main table, a handsome middle-aged man with glasses hurried over to help his mother. The mother and son walked over.
The old lady was not old. She was not even seventy, but she had just recovered from a long illness. Her body was a little weak.
"What's wrong now?" The old lady looked at her granddaughter, then at her daughter-in-law.
The woman did not speak. She hugged her son and looked at Pei Ziqi with deep hatred.
"Grandma, she bullied me." The grandson pointed at Pei Ziqi and wailed.
The old lady heard and said unhappily, "Ziqi, you bullied your brother again."
Pei Ziqi was not convinced. "He was the one who started it. My clothes were dirtied by him. And … "
The old lady was even angrier. "He's still a child. How old are you? What kind of sister are you? It's fine if you make a scene at home, but don't you know where you are? "
Pei Ziqi looked at her father. As usual, the man ignored her coldly.
Pei Ziqi's eyes reddened.
Boys and girls of the same age would look down on other people's family matters. Moreover, it was the Li family's family matter. They had no right to interfere.
Perhaps because he had his mother's support, Li Hao, who was young but sensible and hated his half-brothers and sisters since he was young, suddenly broke free from his mother's arms. He clenched his fist and punched Pei Ziqi's waist.
A ten-year-old child was actually quite strong. He did not know when to stop. Pei Ziqi frowned in pain.
She slapped him with the back of her hand.
The child wailed loudly. It was heart-wrenching.
The girl hurriedly hugged her son as tears welled up in her eyes. She looked at the old lady and sobbed, "Mother …"
Old Madam Li was furious. The Li family was located in Shanghai. In ancient times, they were considered wealthy.
Face was the most important thing. The older generation was particular about family harmony and prosperity. Family scandals should not be aired in public. Behind closed doors, no matter how much Pei Ziqi and Li Donglai quarreled with her stepmother, she didn't really like to pay attention to them. What kind of occasion was this now?
Furthermore, she had always doted on her little grandson and was usually reluctant to hit him. This slap was a little too heavy.
"Damn girl, damn girl …" The old lady hit her son a few times and said hatefully, "How did you teach your daughter? How did you teach your daughter?"
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open. The hotel manager led Nan Man Pei and Qin Ze in.
Everyone looked over.
Nan Man Pei was quite famous in Shanghai. There were many young men who coveted her.
If they married her, not only would they be able to connect with the Li family, but they would also be able to form a powerful alliance.
However, the young man beside her was a bit unfamiliar. When they got closer, someone immediately recognized Qin Ze.
Qin Ze.
The rising star of the entertainment industry.
In terms of popularity, almost no one in the room was more famous than Qin Ze.
Nan Man Pei's gigolo?
That was the thought in everyone's mind.
Rich people liked to keep young models and actresses. It was not strange for rich women to keep young men.
Women weren't fairies who didn't belong to the mortal world.
A few young men who thought they had the ability to hook up with Nan Man Pei suddenly felt jealous.
Seeing the lively scene in the private room, Qin Ze was a bit dumbfounded. Wasn't it supposed to be a family dinner? There were three tables full of people.
Pei Ziqi burst into tears. She choked and said, "Auntie …"
Nan Man Pei patted her head and smiled. "Old lady."
The old lady put away her anger and waved at her. She complained, "You're too late."
Nan Man Pei automatically took Big Brother Li's place and held the old lady's arm.
"I went to pick up a friend." She looked at Qin Ze.
Qin Ze immediately said, "Old lady, Mayor Li."
The old lady nodded reservedly.
Big Brother Li also smiled.
Nan Man Pei looked at Pei Ziqi and then looked at the crying child in his mother's arms. He smiled and said, "What's going on?"
The old lady had a headache. "What's going on? They're making trouble again."
Li Donglai was expressionless. "Xiao Hao smeared his meat on Ziqi's body, and Ziqi pushed him. Then Xiao Hao punched Ziqi, and Ziqi slapped him. This round, the siblings are tied. There are all kinds of highlights. 1: 1. Shall we continue with the second half? "
Qin Ze: "…"
He looked at his disciple seriously. After not seeing him for a long time, his disciple had become even more outstanding.
The old lady was furious. She grabbed Nan Man Pei's arm tightly. "Look, my Li family has given birth to three evil children in this generation. I'm so angry."
Nan Man Pei said apologetically, "I didn't teach them well."
The old lady glared at her son. "Some people don't know how to give birth."
Nan Man Pei smiled and nodded. "You're right."
Big Brother Li: "…"
Big Brother Li was a little embarrassed.
He frowned. "Stop crying."
Li Hao was suddenly enlightened. He had always been afraid of his father. He looked at his mother carefully and felt relieved. He didn't care and continued crying.
Nan Man Pei saw this and smiled. "It's not all Brother-in-law's fault. It's the father's fault for not teaching the son well. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'a loving mother will spoil the son'? My sister left early and didn't have time to teach him. But as his mother, she can't spoil him too much. He's always causing trouble. He's still young now. What can he do when he grows up? "
She looked at the woman and said, "Sister-in-law, is what I said reasonable?"
The woman secretly gritted her teeth and forced a smile. "It's my fault."
Nan Man Pei said unhappily, "Ziqi, your mother has apologized. What are you doing?"
The woman: "…"
Nan Man Pei said again, "Xiao Hao, have you finished your summer homework?"
Li Hao ignored her.
Nan Man Pei turned to the old lady and said, "Auntie, education should be done early. Send Xiao Hao back tomorrow. He can come out to play when he finishes his homework."
The old lady nodded. "That makes sense."
Li Hao cried even harder.
Qin Ze looked at Nan Man Pei with admiration. It was said that birds of a feather flock together. Su Yu was Sister Man's best friend. Why didn't she learn her palace skills from Sister Man?
Nan Man Pei said, "Qin Ze is Donglai's tutor. Donglai's college entrance examination results are so good this year because of his teaching."
The old lady looked at Qin Ze in surprise and said, "He's Donglai's tutor? He's so young? Good, good. If Donglai had met you earlier, he would have been able to get into Fudan University and Jiaotong University. "
Qin Ze smiled modestly.
Nan Man Pei was particularly talkative today and interrupted, "Why don't you ask him to be Xiao Hao's tutor? Or let sister-in-law ask him for advice on how to teach children to improve their grades. "
Qin Ze answered truthfully, "There's no good way. If the child cries and doesn't study hard, just beat him up."
Li Hao cried even harder.
The woman said lightly, "You don't have to worry about my family's affairs."
Nan Man Pei looked sad and said, "Old lady, I'll try not to talk too much in the future and try not to come to Li's house."
The old lady frowned and said angrily, "How can you say that? Is Manman an outsider?"
The woman defended herself, "Mom, that's not what I meant."
The old lady said impatiently, "Don't just stand there. Take him back."
Qin Ze felt a fiery gaze on him. Looking in the direction of that gaze, he saw a young girl with bright eyes, Chen Qingyuan. She had a delicate oval face, and her skin was fair and supple.
When he first met her, he remembered that there was still some baby fat on her chin.
Chen Qingyuan looked at him silently. She was happy, excited, and tender.
Bi Fang saw this scene and curled his lips. This girl was hopeless.
"Manman, my family is full of troublesome people. If only you could come here more often. With you here, no one would dare to make a scene." The old lady muttered.
Nan Man Pei smiled and agreed.
To the old lady, both of them were her flesh and blood. If there was a conflict, the most she would do was to punish them 50 times and then continue to make a scene.
But what could she do? A stepmother was a stepmother after all. Could you ask her to treat her ex's child as her own son?
Could you ask the child to be filial to her like his own mother?
There were many things that could not be resolved, especially family matters.
Why else would it be difficult for an honest official to resolve family matters?
Her son was very tactful and had always been a bystander. No matter which side he sided with, the other side would be bitterly disappointed. Moreover, the relationship between Pei Ziqi and Li Donglai's father was already very cold.
When her youngest son was bullied by her eldest son or daughter, as a father, she had no choice but to stand up as a grandmother. Of course, she would side with her youngest grandson. After all, he was too young and could be easily beaten.
Her daughter-in-law was also not easy to deal with. Without her secret instigation, would her grandson be able to stir up trouble like this?
She had used emotional violence against her ex's son and daughter all these years.
Therefore, the old lady especially liked Nan Man Pei because Nan Man Pei was generous and capable. Even her sister was not as good as her.
In the past, a woman like this could stabilize the house and make the house peaceful.
Nan Man Pei would stay at the Li family for a few days every year. She would also bring Li Donglai and Pei Ziqi home. That was one of the rare times when the Li family was able to reunite and live in harmony.
The daughter-in-law of a humble family knew that she could not win against the other party, so she would be very obedient. Her grandson was also afraid of this aunt and did not dare to be too arrogant.
Qin Ze looked at Nan Man Pei who followed the old lady, then at the group of familiar juniors.
After thinking for a while, he asked the waiter to add a chair for the juniors.
There were rich ladies and old ladies everywhere. He felt that it was not appropriate to sit there.
Chen Qingyuan was overjoyed. She patted the empty seat beside her with her small hands and asked the waiter to add a chair there.
Qin Ze had just sat down when eight or nine young boys and girls shouted in unison, "Qin Ge."
"Qin Ge …"
"Qin Ge …"
It was as if some big brother was attending a banquet and the underlings were greeting him respectfully.
It attracted the attention of the adults on both sides.
Qin Ze: "…"
Bi Fang said, "Hello, I'm Bi Fang, Bi Guowei's sister."
Qin Ze was stunned. He looked at this unfamiliar girl and was stunned by the name.
"Hello, you can call me Haize King."
Bi Fang: "…"
