<h4>Chapter 137: Someone from the Pei Family</h4>
<h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong> Editor: </strong>As Studios</h4>
Nangong Yuxiu did not stay in the Lu family for long and only gave Lu Xiaocha an invitation.
“Apany Uncle to a banquet next month.”
Lu Xiaocha looked at the retro and high-end invitation and asked curiously, “What banquet?”
“The daughter of the Ran family from Shangjing has returned from overseas. This is a homing banquet prepared for her. I’ll bring you to take a look.”
“Sure.”
Lu Xiaocha had no objections.
After Nangong Yuxiu left, Lu Zhan returned at night.
“Pei Qin’s case is still under investigation. There will be an oue in a few days. As for Pei Xue, she was released because she was still underage and she wasn’t directly involved.”
After saying that, he looked at his daughter. “But she won’t be able to go to school in the future. I won’t allow someone who wanted to harm you to go to school again.”
Lu Xiaocha nodded and smiled from the bottom of her heart when she felt her father’s protection.
“Thanks, Dad.”
Lu Zhan rubbed her head. “You don’t have to thank Daddy.”
“The case of Chen Xiaoqian that you helped yesterday has already been settled. The man has been sentenced to death. As for the old woman, she’s also imprisoned for life. There’s also news from Jiajia. I’ll get my assistant to arrange a job for her after we find the child.”
Lu Xiaocha’s eyes lit up.
“Okay!”
Her father was too good.
With Pei Qin’s matter resolved, the Lu family continued to live happily.
The next day, Lu Xiaocha continued to go to school.
She was still wearing the choker that her uncle had given her. It made a crisp sound when she walked.
On this hot summer day, this jade jingle was very pleasing to the ear, attracting the attention of others.
She was good-looking to begin with, and with the exquisite choker, she looked even more lively and obedient.
Lu Xiaocha was afraid that this sound would affect the others, so she asked her brother to stuff cotton into it when she reached the ssroom.
Finally, it wouldn’t make a sound from time to time anymore.
The color of the lustrous white jade was almost the same as Lu Xiaocha’s skin color. It only made her look more lively.
The students in the ss were also curious at first, but after being stared at by the ss monitor with a cold expression, they stopped disturbing her.
…
Life seemed to have not changed at all, but after ss, Lu Xiaocha met someone unexpected.
Lu Xiaocha did not know him. He was an old man in his sixties.
At that time, Lu Beichen looked at the old man and his face instantly fell.
Lu Xiaocha had never seen the young man’s expression so dark.
“Xiaochen, you’re Xiaocha, right?”
Beside the old man was a well-maintained and noble-looking Madam. She looked to be in her forties.
“What are you doing here?”
It was Pei Anran’s biological father and stepmother.
Hearing Lu Beichen’s tone, the two of them did not look happy.
“How can you talk to Grandpa like that?”
Lu Beichen sneered. Some people were really not worthy of being elders.
Lu Xiaocha understood, but she pretended to be innocent and asked her brother.
“Brother, so we still have a grandpa? I always thought that grandpa and grandma were dead.”
The two people on the other side were speechless.
Their expressions turned even uglier.
“What did Anran teach you? Is this how you should talk to your elders?”
Lu Xiaocha raised her eyebrows and nced at them. “Elder? You or her?”
Pei Linping’s expression was dark. He did not want to say anything to the two children and looked at Lu Xiaocha.
“Tell the police that you’re willing to write a settlement letter to forgive your aunt. How would it look if you let your aunt into the police station? Isn’t your Lu family afraid of embarrassing ourselves? Our Pei family can’t afford to lose face!”
Lu Beichen shielded his sister behind him and confronted the old man opposite him.
“That’s impossible. Does she want to be free after what she did? Don’t even think about it.”
“You—”
Pei Linping took a deep breath. The Lu family was not something they could deal with.
He looked like he was doing this for their own good.
“You two are still young and don’t understand. Getting your aunt into the police station won’t do you any good. In the future, this matter will always apany you as you grow up. Everyone knows that your sister is ruthless and disrespectful. If you send your aunt to the police station, what will others think of her?”
Lu Xiaocha said, “I don’t care.”
She smiled and said, “Rather than caring about what others think, I want those who harmed me to suffer.”
“You… How can you be so vicious at such a young age!”
Pei Linping was furious when he saw that Lu Xiaocha was indifferent after saying so much.
“Linping, calm down. It’s normal for children to be insensible. I’ll talk to her.”
“Xiaocha…”
She had just said a few words when Lu Xiaocha interrupted her. “It’s you, mistress.”
“Pfff…”
Lu Beichen could not help butugh out loud.
He saw with his own eyes that the woman’s face instantly twisted.
“What… what are you talking about!”
Before she could say anything, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She could not persuade Lu Xiaocha hypocritically now.
Lu Beichen only felt satisfied in his heart. He gave his sister a thumbs-up in front of the two of them.
‘Well done!’
Pei Linping looked embarrassed and angry.
“How can you speak to your elders like that? You uncultured thing!”
Lu Xiaocha yawned. “You’re quite well-mannered. You’re probably an equestrian. Don’t you know how my grandmother died? You still dare to jump in front of us. How thick-skinned.”
If there’s nothing else, please get out of the way. You can’t let Pei Qin out. You weren’t the ones who were abandoned and kidnapped for 13 years. It’s not easy to be an armchair quarterback.”
“You… but aren’t you fine?”
Lu Xiaocha was very curious about how he could say this shamelessly.
“In that case, I might as well find a way to kidnap you guys to y this game, okay?”
Although she said this with a smile, the coldness in her eyes made Pei Linping and the woman shiver.
“That won’t do. The two of you are too old for this. I heard that you have a grandson. Let your grandson do it.”
The woman was shocked. “How dare you!”
Lu Beichen looked at their expressions andughed mockingly.
“Why? Is your grandson the only human?”
Pei Linping looked at the two children. He thought that Lu Xiaocha would be easier to fool, but who would have thought that she would dare to say such a thing?
Lu Xiaocha sneered and left with her brother.
Later on, the two of them went to Lu Zhan to plead and threaten Pei Anran. However, the Lu family was determined not to let Pei Qin off, so they had no choice but to let it go.
It wasn’t that the two of them really loved Pei Qin, but more importantly, there were two words.
Face.
After what Pei Qin had done was exposed, the Pei family also lost face.
Moreover, everyone knew that Pei Qin had grown up with her stepmother.
The two sisters hadpletely different endings. Everyone in the circlepared them in all aspects. Many people said that mistresses were not presentable. It did not seem surprising that they could raise the daughter of the previous one to be so vicious.
More people praised Pei Linping’s ex-wife. She knew how to raise children. She had raised Pei Anran very well and even married an outstanding person like Lu Zhan. Most importantly, she had given birth to so many outstanding sons and daughters.
Hearing thesements, the woman, who was the mistress of the Pei family, was so angry that she vomited blood. She smashed things at home every day, but she was helpless against thosements.
She did not dare to go out for a long time.
Perhaps even she did not expect that the karma that she had deliberately raised Pei Qin to be arrogant, arrogant, and selfish would backfire on her in the end.
