Chapter 180 - Pei Li’s Decisiveness
Chapter 180: Pei Li’s Decisiveness
“Uncle, Father-in-Law, please spare Minyan’s life.”
Pei Tianheng spoke and knelt down heavily. No one had expected this. Perhaps even Pei Tianheng himself had not expected this either. However, he understood his father’s hint. In fact, even if his father had not hinted, he would not have dared to take Ouyang Minyan’s life.
However, he also knew that the Ouyang family was not joking. Therefore, it was not only his father’s intention. It was also his intention to beg and kneel.
Then, Pei Xi, Pei Li, and Pei Meimei all knelt down in a daze.
Ouyang Tang, who had always been calm and composed, finally put down the teacup that he had been holding. He no longer looked as if he had nothing to do with it.
He coughed twice and said to Ouyang Tian, “Big Brother, Sixth Brother is already married. He is not a member of our Ouyang family. Why don’t you expel him from the Ouyang family instead?”
Ouyang Tian did not speak. Instead, he glanced at Ouyang Jincheng. Ouyang Jincheng understood and pretended to be silent for a moment before he said to Ouyang Tang:
“Second Uncle’s words are reasonable. The family rules state that it is only if the Ouyang family’s daughter is not married yet. Ouyang Minyan has already married into the Pei family and is also in the main grave of the Pei family. Therefore, according to Second Uncle’s wishes, we will expel her from the Ouyang family.”
Pei Dongguo clenched his fists tightly. Ouyang Tang must have waited for their family to express their stance before saying anything. Even if his descendants did not plead for mercy today, nothing would happen to Ouyang Minyan. However, he knew that he could not bear to cut ties with the Ouyang family. Therefore, he had to make a decision for his descendants.
However, this persimmon was not so soft that Ouyang Tang could control it easily. Since they had already reached this point, it wasn’t that easy to not seek for greater profits for the Pei family.
“Clan Head Ouyang, please allow me to say a few words. Since Ouyang Minyan has been expelled from the Ouyang family and has been punished, I can’t say much. It’s only right for my son and grandson to plead on her behalf. Tianheng, Ah Xi, get up.”
Pei Dongguo called for Pei Tianheng and Pei Xi to get up, but Pei Li and Pei Meimei also took the opportunity to stand up.
However, just as they moved, Pei Dongguo said, “Ah Li and Meimei kneel.”
These words made Pei Li’s heart jump to his throat. Could it be? Could it be what he had guessed?
As expected, Pei Dongguo said, “Although my Pei family is not as big as the Ouyang family, we still have to maintain our reputation. Today, everyone in China is laughing at our Pei family. How are we going to maintain our foothold in the future?”
“However, we have been in-laws for many years. I can’t do something like destroying the marriage contract. However, I have no reason to continue supporting these two descendants.”
“It’s better for the Ouyang family to raise the Ouyang family’s descendants themselves. Ouyang Tang, don’t you think so?”
“What?”
“It can’t be? Pei Li and Pei Meimei are the bastards of the two of them? This, this, this is simply…”
In an instant, the entire venue was in an uproar. The sound of shock was not any lower than before. Even Pei Li and Pei Meimei were staring at Pei Dongguo in a daze.
Ouyang Minyan was even more shocked. She shouted at Pei Dongguo, “Impossible, impossible, how is this possible? My Ah Li is a descendant of the Pei family. He is a member of the Pei family! You are slandering me, slandering me!”
“Alright, whether we are slandering you or not, you can go and check the paternity test. Our Pei family will definitely not help others raise evil children. It is enough to raise them for more than 20 years.”
Pei Tianheng’s words were like the last straw that crushed a camel. Ouyang Minyan sat on the ground as if she was half dead. It was over, it was all over.
Just now, Ouyang Tang had used Pei Dongguo to force him to accept his daughter. However, Ouyang Tang did not expect that Pei Dongguo would return such a big gift to him. He could not blame him at all.
This was because the other party had said that they had raised the Ouyang family’s descendants for more than 20 years for nothing. They had let down the Pei family first. This time, they owed the Pei family a huge favor.
Ouyang Tang suddenly felt that it was better to let this shameless evil daughter invade the pig cage.
This time, Ouyang Jincheng could not make the decision. When it came to this issue, he could only look at Ouyang Tian. These two descendants were also a stain on the Ouyang family. It was a stain that absolutely could not exist.
None of them would doubt Pei Dongguo’s words. The paternity test had been said to be done at will, so for him to be so strong-willed and so certain, the result was naturally true.
Ouyang Tian’s walking stick held in his hand, and he actually felt a strong sense of powerlessness. was the Ouyang family really in such a dire situation? Were the descendants so disappointing?
At this moment, a voice broke the silence once again.
“Grandfather, I beg you to let me live. I am willing to take my sister and mother to set up my own family. I will definitely not reveal anything about tonight.”
Such a quick reaction and such a decisive decision.
At this moment, not only Ouyang Tian, even Yan Kuan was looking at Pei Li with a look of scrutiny. They had really underestimated this person. He was really decisive in his killing. He had put himself in a dead end before coming back to life. Perhaps he really had a bad hand that was about to be overturned by him.
As expected, Ouyang Tian’s expression changed immediately. Not only Ouyang Tian, but even Pei Dongguo was also looking at Pei Li with a scrutinizing gaze.
He did not explain, did not plead for mercy, and did not question. It was just that he had to protect his mother and sister at such a time.
Such a person and such an action had directly impacted the hearts of Ouyang Tang and Ouyang Tian. This young man was incredible.
He was indeed worthy of being a descendant of the Ouyang family.
With such a temperament, he would really be a sharp blade in the future.
At this moment, Pei Dongguo was also secretly regretting it. This Pei Li was indeed extremely intelligent. Pei Xi was definitely not the slightest bit as good as him.
It was a pity. It was really a pity. However, he was so powerful. If he was allowed to stay in the Pei family, Pei Xi would definitely not be able to defeat him. It was also good for him to be like this. Hence, the unwillingness he felt earlier was washed clean once again.
On the other hand, Ouyang Qing stared at his cheap younger brother thoughtfully. He was so powerful. If he were to really enter the Ouyang family, he would be the first to suffer.
“Ah Li, are you really willing to bring your mother to set up a family?”
Ouyang Tian really had taken a liking to this Pei Li. Otherwise, he would not have spoken in such a manner.
Not only Ouyang Jincheng, but even Ouyang Jinchuan and Ouyang Jinguo, the two legitimate children, also looked at the old man. Their brows furrowed slightly. This was not a good thing.
“Grandpa, I’m willing. I’m already in my third year of grad school and about to graduate. I can find a job to take care of my mother and sister.”
Pei Li once again took a step back and said that he wanted to work to support his mother and sister. This decision once again brought him to a new height.
“If that’s the case, the three of you will occupy the Liu Residence. As for other matters, we will deal with them according to the clan rules.”
Ouyang Tian’s decision was final. Pei Li’s heart relaxed. He had indeed made the right bet. According to his understanding of Ouyang Tian over the years, he had made the right move.
The Liu Residence was Ouyang Tian’s private property. With such an arrangement, was Ouyang Tian going to protect the three of them?
Pei Dongguo was forcing him step by step tonight. Wasn’t this pushing him into the Ouyang family? Although he hated such an action, he had to express his gratitude now.
Now, it seemed that although he had lost everything in the Pei family, the future was uncertain. First, there was no marriage contract. Then, he had lost his status as the eldest son of the Pei family.
And now, he had become a bastard? If he hadn’t guessed earlier, he might not have reacted so quickly tonight. It was a close call.
However, he would never forget Pei Dongguo and Pei Tianheng who had treated him so mercilessly tonight. Even if he wasn’t his biological son, he had been doted on for so many years since he was young, yet they were willing to give up on him just like that. They didn’t even spare him the slightest bit of face. In that case, he would never have anything to do with them ever again.
Pei Li turned around and pulled his younger sister towards Pei Dongguo and Pei Tianheng, kowtowing three times.
“Father, Grandfather, although I don’t know what is going on, in our hearts, you will always be our father and grandfather. However, in the future, we will not be able to be filial in front of the two of you. I hope that you will take care of yourselves. As long as the Pei family needs us, Pei Li and sister will go through fire and water without hesitation!”
