There’s an old saying: When enemies et, their eyes blaze with hatred.
When Pei Jingxiao was chatting with his relatives in the villa, the mont he saw Wen Xu, he couldn’t hold back.
He stood up, rudely pointing at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
In his view, Wen Xu had no right to be here.
"Does a son born to a mistress like you deserve to stand on this land?"
As he spoke, Pei Jingxiao even stomped on the floor tiles beneath him.
The expression on his face was filled with intense hatred towards Wen Xu.
This hatred had intensified compared to before.
Before, it was because of Wen Xu’s identity, and he and his mother were the fundantal reason for Pei Jingxiao’s mother’s depressed passing.
Pei Jingxiao still rembers that day when his father suddenly announced that he had an older brother, the look on his mother’s face.
Since then, their ho had never been peaceful.
In the end, one day, his father just let those bastards into the house.
And then one of them suddenly beca his brother.
Originally the eldest son of a wealthy family, suddenly turned into the second son.
But even if that was the case, the problem was that to Pei Jingxiao, Wen Xu was a bastard, and his mother was even more of a howrecker.
Although the family seed to have lived peacefully for a while, Pei Jingxiao and his mother had to treat these two with kindness out of necessity, Pei Jingxiao never went a day without hating them.
He also knew that since they entered the house, his mother hadn’t had a normal night’s sleep.
At only thirty, she aged as if decades had passed in a short ti.
Even gray hairs appeared.
So the hatred Pei Jingxiao felt towards Wen Xu and his mother was beyond words.
Previously, Wen Xu never returned ho, lived outside, and didn’t involve himself in company or family matters. When Pei Jingxiao heard he got a job at a police station, he laughed for quite so ti.
To them, such a job as a forensic doctor was indeed unlucky.
Especially business people disliked it.
At the ti, Pei Jingxiao laughed at Wen Xu’s self-destruction for getting such a useless job, thinking he might as well be dead.
Secondly, he believed that after this, the other family mbers would certainly not agree to Wen Xu ddling in the company’s affairs.
Then the heir would only be himself.
And over the years, his father indeed acted accordingly.
But suddenly, it all crumbled like a mountain, not even leaving ti to draft a will.
At first, Pei Jingxiao hadn’t fully decided to eliminate Wen Xu. After all, killing soone was risky, and the responsibility could be huge, so he preferred other solutions unless absolutely necessary.
But upon seeing that the old man truly showed no sign of waking, and after doctors inford him that the chances were slim, advising them to prepare in advance.
Then Pei Jingxiao couldn’t afford to stay idle.
If he didn’t act, when the old man died, although Wen Xu was a bastard, he still had the right to a portion of the inheritance.
The Pei Family’s wealth spread out would amount to more than what many people could earn in hundreds of lifetis.
So he couldn’t allow Wen Xu such an opportunity.
The only option was to make sure he died.
But unexpectedly, both attempts failed.
Failing was one thing, but it even motivated Wen Xu to co to the company and compete for his position.
He had invested a lot of money...
The heartache was imnse.
After all, he hadn’t even inherited the company yet.
Even the later hired master’s thod didn’t work, which made Pei Jingxiao grind his teeth in frustration.
However, because of the family matters being too busy, and later on being summoned back by the family.
There he was now.
Thinking it might be to discuss the takeover of the company after his father’s passing, Pei Jingxiao was very thrilled.
Believing he had a way to not give Wen Xu a penny.
Just as the discussion went well, he suddenly saw him.
Pei Jingxiao could hardly bear it.
He instantly lost his composure and didn’t care who was sitting around him, beginning to lash out at Wen Xu.
To him, Wen Xu must have shalessly followed him after hearing about this from sowhere in the company.
In the end, all sorts of venomous words spewed from Pei Jingxiao’s mouth.
He even thought, if he could make Wen Xu lose all face before the family, they would have an even worse opinion of this bastard.
So eventually, he let loose completely, saying whatever ca to mind without any restraint.
No matter how much he cursed, Wen Xu appeared much calr.
His expression didn’t budge, forming a stark contrast with Pei Jingxiao.
Pei Jingxiao didn’t notice that the family mbers’ gaze on him had long changed, but he only cared about venting his anger.
Until an elder cleared his throat, signaling him to shut his mouth.
Pei Jingxiao then dared not speak again.
Alard by realizing his arrogance before these old codgers, speaking so recklessly.
Returning to his senses, he quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, I was just too angry, for this filthy guy dared to co here."
"It’s also my fault for not being more careful before I ca, letting him follow ."
"I’ll just kick him out."
He wouldn’t miss such a good chance to humiliate Wen Xu.
After saying this, he eagerly stepped forward, only after taking two strides, his second uncle spoke again.
"Wait!"
"Stand aside!"
The burly man shot Pei Jingxiao a sideways glance and reprimanded, "This is not a place for you to speak."
Pei Jingxiao was dumbfounded.
Even though he always feared this second uncle who seed like a gangster, he didn’t expect him to intervene in this situation.
"Second Uncle...?"
Pei Jingxiao tentatively called out, wanting to continue but ended up wisely shutting his mouth under the intimidating glare.
Perhaps Second Uncle was about to reprimand Wen Xu himself.
Thinking this, Pei Jingxiao stepped aside, ready to watch.
However, the words his second uncle said next completely stunned him.
"I invited him."
Pei Jingxiao: ???
In disbelief, he turned his head and looked at his usually silent Third Uncle sitting in a wheelchair, seeking confirmation of the truth.
Only to see that the latter rely blinked without any hint of rebuttal.
This indicated that his second uncle wasn’t lying.
"Why...?"
Pei Jingxiao evidently couldn’t accept this outco.
For inviting Wen Xu here was like his father insisting on bringing that mother and son into their ho, causing him pain.
Yet he rembered, from childhood to adulthood, his Second and Third Uncles didn’t have a good attitude towards Wen Xu.
How could there suddenly be a change now?
"Of course, because he also carries the Pei Family’s blood!"
