At the engagement banquet, Pei Yichen, who had taken charge of the Pei family, announced in front of everyone that he was getting engaged to the woman he loved.
He made our Shen family lose face.
What goes around comes around. Our whole family started slacking off.
When the Pei family was squeezed by its rivals in the business world, my dad said, “I'm old. I can't keep fighting.”
When the Pei family's operations ran short on funds, my mom said, “I spent it all on gold and jewelry.”
When the Pei family couldn't secure a project, I said, “I'm busy. I'm in the middle of a blind date.”
Pei Yichen flew into a rage, declaring that even without us, he had plenty of talented people to rely on.
Later, he asked his beloved's father to help him gain an edge in the business world, but her dad ended up in the hospital instead.
He wouldn't give up, so he had the woman he loved's older brother handle a project, directly costing the company over a hundred million yuan.
He asked her older sister to negotiate a deal, but she was made to drink until she suffered gastric bleeding.
Meanwhile, once our family heard what had happened, we sat back with tea and sunflower seeds, watching them scramble to put out the fire.
