For the Rest of My Life, I Belong With You - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Is It Really Alright for You to Bully Your Son That Way?

“I will send Xiao Chen home. You take a cab to work.”

“Okay.” Lu Man turned around. She could not help but look back. “Pei Xiuyuan, is it really alright for you to bully your son that way?”

She was not that stupid to not know that it was his motive to annoy his son!

“Did I bully him?” Pei Xiuyuan pretended to be innocent.

Lu Man was speechless.

Was that not bullying?

“I never knew that you could be that bad.” He did not even flinch when he bullied his son!

Pei Xiuyuan pouted. “I was not bullying him. I was telling him that whatever decision one makes, he needs to pay its price.”

“But he is just a six-year-old boy” Did he really need to go that far in educating his son?

“I was very upset with him wasting the food that my wife worked so hard on making, alright?” That was what irritated him the most!

He got so little food. On the other hand, that wimpy kid was treated way better than he was. How dare he behaved like that? Well, if his son did not want to eat, Pei Xiuyuan was glad to eat them for him!

Lu Man was speechless.

Although she knew she should not, she was touched.

This man knew how to love a woman!

Pei Zichen got into the car. When he thought of getting the chance to have breakfast with his father, the torture that he had endured this morning was worth it!

“What do you want to eat?”

“Can I get whatever that I like?” Pei Zichen was hoping that his father would say yes.

“Yes.”

“What about KFC?” Pei Zichen had never eaten any fast food. Every time he saw his friends or other people enjoying the food there when he passed by the outlets, he was curious about the taste of the food there. He wanted to try it badly.

He tried so many times telling his grandmother and his father that he wanted to try it, but they refused every time he asked for it. They had never allowed him to eat fast food. But it seemed that his father was in a good mood today and there was a KFC outlet nearby, so he carefully made his request.

“Sure.” Pei Xiuyuan agreed without hesitation.

Pei Zichen was so happy that he almost jumped in the car. He thought that there was no more regret in his life!

When they got there, he ordered a lot of food. Pei Xiuyuan waited patiently for him to finish all the food.

“Good?”

“So-so.” When he got to eat the food that he had always wanted, it did not tasted as good as he expected it to be.

“Will you want to eat this again?”

“Nope.”

“Good. Let’s go.”

When they got to the gate, Pei Xiuyuan did not just drop his son and leave. They entered the house together.

When Wang Yunxi saw her brother, she ignored him totally. She did not have such a cruel brother!

She walked toward Pei Zichen and lovingly held his hands.

“Xiao Chen, you are back! Come to my room, I have so many toys for you!”

Pei Xiuyuan knew his aunt had got something to tell him when he saw her eyes gestures, so he followed her and went away.

To Pei Xiuyuan, both of them were children, so he was not bothered by their actions.

“You are back, Young Master.” The butler quickly came to greet him when he knew he was here.

“Where is Grandmother?”

“The old lady is in her room,” he replied politely.

“Grandmother.”

“Yes.” The old lady was watering the flowers on the balcony. She replied softly when she heard hier grandson, without stopping what she was doing.

“Your flowers are growing better.”

“Yes, but they are growing too fast that they have gone crazy. I was only gone for a few days and they are already acting up, thinking nobody was going to do anything to them!” She was insinuating his marriage.

Getting married was a big matter! And he did not even ask for her consent when he got married!

He simply did not take his grandmother seriously!

Pei Xiuyuan moved forward and hugged her shoulder. “Are you angry with me, Grandmother?”

“What do you think?”

“Aren’t you nagging me on this matter? Now that I am married, you are angry instead of being happy about it?”

The old lady pouted. “I did tell you to get married. But did I ask you to simply marry any woman?”

He could marry any woman but her!

Goddamn! She could not accept this woman!

“Grandmother, I did not. I am very serious in this marriage. I thought hard when I chose her. Believe me, she is a very good woman. I am sure you will like her when you see her!” Pei Xiuyuan purposely sent his son here to get the chance to meet his grandmother. He wanted to talk to his grandmother about Lu Man before she met her. He did not want her grandmother to make things difficult for her.

“A very good woman? Since when you have become so useless? Marrying someone else’s ex and being so happy about it?”

“She suits me.” Pei Xiuyuan thought that her grandmother’s words were too harsh.

“You married the ex-fiancée of your brother-in-law. You will always meet each other when you live together. Are you fine with that?”

“Yes. It’s fine.”

The old lady was dumbfounded.

“Are you trying to drive me crazy so you can send me to the asylum?”

“Absolutely not! Do I look like an unfilial grandson?”

“You do!” She said mercilessly.

Pei Xiuyuan pouted. Then he shamelessly said, “Anyway, I am married.”

“You…” The old lady could not say anything.

There was a rule left by the ancestors of the Pei family. They could not divorce once they were married. They could only do so and remarry if their wives was caught having an affair or had passed away.

Their ancestors thought that union meant gathering wealth and separation meant losing wealth. Therefore, all the children in the Pei family must obey this rule.

“Grandmother, you can try to get to know her. You will know that she is a very good granddaughter-in-law.”

The old lady snorted. She refused to accept his suggestion although she knew she could not do anything about it anymore.

Pei Xiuyuan did not show a bit of annoyance and impatience. He believed in Lu Man’s charm of getting people to like her.

As she was clocking in for work in the afternoon, Lu Man received a text message from Pei Xiuyuan. He told her he would bring her to meet his grandmother in the evening after work.

She did not feel anything in particular when she read the message.

But when she realized that she was going to meet his family members tonight, she started getting nervous.

She quickly went to the washroom and gave Pei Xiuyuan a call.

“Pei Xiuyuan, why do you always make arrangements for everything at such a short notice?” He did not tell her she was going to meet his grandmother yesterday and had only told her about this now. She was not prepared at all!

“Manman, don’t be nervous. We are just going home.” Pei Xiuyuan’s voice was always very reassuring. But this time, it failed to calm Lu Man down.

“Are you joking? Just going home? That is your home, not mine!” It was very natural for him to go home. But it was different for her! They had gotten married in a flash without telling anyone. Of course his family would be unhappy about it! Their impression of her must already be negative. If they saw her unprepared for the meeting, they would definitely not like her!

If they did not like her, how were they going to get along in the future? She did not want to live in a family war!

She knew she had a very bad relationship with Wang Yunxi. And now seeing Xiao Chen disliking her that much, if his grandmother hated her as well, what would happen?

It was just so troublesome!

Lu Man wanted to manage this marriage well. She always knew that getting married was not just a matter between two people. It was a matter between two families. She wanted his family members to like her so that they could get along well. Only then, their marriage would last. Otherwise, it would be a pain!

“You really do not have to be nervous.” Pei Xiuyuan was trying to comfort her.
