Chapter 1033: Chapter 30:

Fu Mingzhu was trembling with anger, her gaze suddenly shifting to Pei Pei.

She cursed, "It’s all you! What kind of a spell did you put on my son to make him like this?"

As she spoke, she rushed forward, raising her hand to hit Pei Pei.

Here, she was the elder—no one dared to stop her.

"Mom!"

Lu Yuxuan swiftly turned and embraced Pei Pei in his arms.

A ’slap’ landed on Lu Yuxuan’s face.

Fu Mingzhu was stunned, "...You?"

Lu Yuxuan turned his face sideways, his brow furrowed, pleading, "Mom, don’t hit her... Please, don’t hit her!"

"..." Pei Pei lifted her head, looking at Lu Yuxuan, her heart was filled with a mix of emotions.

She knew this man was good to her... genuinely good to her.

If time could rewind and she could live her life over, she would never have gotten involved with Kang Sir...

If she could choose where she was born, she wished to have been born into a family without burdens, where her brothers could support themselves!

But is there really any ’what if’ in this world?

So chaotic, getting to this point... will they ever have a future?

Pei Pei pushed Lu Yuxuan away, "Yuxuan, let me go."

"No, Peipei." Lu Yuxuan held onto her, unwilling to let go.

Pei Pei furrowed her brow, shaking her head at him, "Yuxuan, do you want to turn me into the worst woman in this world? Causing conflict between you and your mother... and ruining your future?"

"..." Lu Yuxuan choked up, "It won’t happen! Peipei, believe in me... no matter how tough or difficult, we’ll get through it!"

"No."

Pei Pei shook her head, "We can’t get through it, really, we can’t."

Lu Yuxuan’s spirit was crushed, his hands fell weakly...

He was truly not afraid to endure hardship with her, but Pei Pei’s repeated retreats had really struck him hard.

Pei Pei’s throat was tight with discomfort as she turned her gaze to Fu Mingzhu.

"I’m sorry, Auntie... I’ll leave now, I’ve never broken my promise to you. I know that I’m just an entertainer and unfit to marry into a family like yours. I’ve never had any wild ambitions to climb higher... I’ll leave, right now!"

Fu Mingzhu stared at her, without a word.

Yu Sangwan watched, feeling truly heartbroken. "Aunt..."

"Taotao!"

Fu Mingzhu snapped, "I know she’s your friend, but she’s not worthy, really not worthy!"

"Mom!"

Lu Yuxuan felt like going crazy; why was it that the woman he loved was the one his mother absolutely refused to accept?

Pei Pei covered her mouth, desperately holding back tears.

She really had nothing to pack up, as she was originally brought here by Lu Yuxuan. Now, she could just walk away directly.

"Pei Pei!"

Lu Yuxuan’s eyes turned red, and he shouted, "Do not go! I won’t allow you to leave, do you hear me?"

"..." Pei Pei stopped for a moment, then continued heading out, her back to him.

"Pei Pei!"

"Yuxuan!" Yu Sangwan quickly grabbed him, "You need to calm down! Auntie is here, and behaving like this won’t solve the problem... it will only exacerbate the conflict!"

At the entrance hall, Pei Pei had already gone out.

Without seeing her figure, Lu Yuxuan was heartbroken.

"Mom, do you have to... make me this upset?"

Fu Mingzhu shook her head, "Son, I’m doing this for your own good!"

"I won’t be fine!" Lu Yuxuan yelled, "Without Pei Pei, I’ll never be alright!"

In a quick turn, Lu Yuxuan rushed out!

"Yuxuan!"

"Auntie." Yu Sangwan held onto Fu Mingzhu, "Why do you have to do this? Pei Pei couldn’t choose her background, but I can honestly guarantee... Pei Pei is upright and proper, unlike those actresses who climb up using dirty tricks, or her relatives who laze around!"

"I believe you."

Fu Mingzhu nodded.

"But so what? Does my belief mean everyone else will believe it too? Taotao, rumors can destroy someone!"

——

Outside, a car pulled up.

The guards reported, "Madam, someone outside says they are here to pick up the Young Madam of the Lezheng Family."

Of course, this referred to Gu Xiaoning.

Gu Xiaoning nodded, "Yes... they’re here to pick me up."

When Le Zhengsheng left, he had told her. He had already contacted his family, and his father, Le Zhengpeng, would send someone to pick her up.

However, the situation at the door was somewhat... uh, indescribable.

The front ends of two cars were facing each other as Le Zhengpeng got out of one car at the same time as Aunt Gu from the other.

The Cayenne facing the Volkswagen taxi illustrated the contrast... ahem, superiority was clearly evident.

Aunt Gu, upon seeing Le Zhengpeng, wore no pleasant expression.

She surveyed him with a glance, "Move aside."

Le Zhengpeng was stunned; he hadn’t expected to encounter his in-laws here.

Thinking of the various regrets from the past, Le Zhengpeng quickly wore a smiling face, "Mother-in-law."

"Hey!"

Aunt Gu immediately shook her head and waved her hands, "Don’t call me that blindly! Our two families have long severed ties! My daughter and your son divorced a long time ago! What mother-in-law? If you must call me that, add a ’former’ in front, I’m not well-educated like you high-class people, not sure if what I’m saying is correct?"

"Uh..."

Le Zhengpeng felt very awkward, keeping a smile.

"Ha ha, you see... it’s all a misunderstanding, isn’t it? You must be here for Ningning too, right? Ningning is truly sweet, how did she manage to get pregnant with two at once? Haha..."

"Haha."

Aunt Gu laughed dryly, her expression remaining cold.

"What’s so funny?"

She spoke as she walked inside.

The guard led the way, and Le Zhengpeng dared not compete with her.

It’s known that Gu Xiaoning being pregnant with twins... this is delightful news for the Lezheng family! Gu Xiaoning, no, to put it more broadly, the entire Gu family was the savior of the Lezheng family!

Right now, Le Zhengpeng couldn’t be more eager to place Gu Xiaoning on a pedestal.

Entering the entrance hall, Gu Xiaoning was prepared and ready to leave.

Aunt Gu stepped in, "Ningning, come, let’s go home with mom."

"Hey..."

Le Zhengpeng followed her in and was instantly anxious upon hearing this.

"Mother-in-law, this isn’t suitable... still follow me home, your living area is too small! Ningning now counts as three people; such a narrow place with barely any room to move could cause accidents, what would happen then?"

Aunt Gu wasn’t appreciative, snorted coldly.

"Relax, my own child, I will cherish dearly! Moving into your place, I wouldn’t be able to sleep! Besides, we really have no ties left! Nothing to do with going to your place!"

"Mother-in-law, you... I apologize, I was wrong before, I’m old... and confused!"

"No! Please, no, I can’t afford it!"

Gu Xiaoning was dumbfounded, was this... an argument?

"Mom." Gu Xiaoning tugged her mother’s arm, whispering, "What’s happening? Uncle Le was unaware, it wasn’t intentional..."

"Tut!" Aunt Gu frowned, "Don’t meddle! This old man is too realistic! When he turned his back on us, how heartless was it? It cannot end just like this! He needs to know we’re not a family for sale! Come, follow me!"

Gu Xiaoning was speechless, helpless.
