Chapter 1402: Don’t Be Sad and Angry
He calmed himself down and said to Li Shaohui, “I will give you an explanation.”
As the host of the Flower Admiration Banquet, he had already lowered himself enough, but Li Shaohui only smiled sloppily. “You can’t afford to give me an explanation.” As soon as he spoke, the stagnation in the air made it difficult for people to breathe.
“Young Master Li, don’t bully others too much!” Family members who were close to Mr. Yu said.
Li Shaohui only smiled breezily and said, “Relax. I don’t have any intention of making things difficult for Mr. Yu. In that case, I hope that Mr. Yu can help me chase someone out and after that, there will be no hard feelings.”
The audience finally understood his intentions. It turned out that he did not want to force Mr. Yu to do anything. Instead, he was showing some respect to Mr. Yu. What he meant was that chasing the people out was definitely not enough, but he could settle his other debts in the future. Everyone could imagine how much bloodshed was implied in these words and could not help but shudder.
Only then was Mr. Yu relieved. However, he saw the dark expressions of the Pei Family and became anxious again. “Young Master Li, we are all well-known figures. Asking Ms. Pei to leave is not really appropriate you see…”
“Today is a good day. I don’t want to see blood.” Li Shaohui smiled and said.
It was a very genial sentence, but everyone drew a cold breath. Blood?!
If another family said such thing and threatened to harm the Pei Family, other people would ridicule them. But the Li Family was different. No one would doubt how ferocious and powerful this family was! Even in broad daylight, he was able to imply that there would be bloodshed. No other family present would have the audacity to do that!
Pei Yan really got herself into trouble this time!
The Pei Family was even more upset. As Pei Yan’s brother, Pei Chengyou could not help but defend her. He said coldly, “Li Shaohui, don’t be so full of yourself. Don’t think that the Pei Family is afraid of you.”
“The person who first provoked him was your stupid sister. Don’t bring out the low IQ person in your family if you don’t want to be humiliated!” This time, Li Rui spoke and smirked. “Pei Chengyou, are you getting tired of living? Why would you bother protecting a sister like that? She will be the one who will drag your Pei Family down in the future!”
Pei Chengyou’s face fell. He coldly said, “That’s none of your business.”
Although he appeared firm, he actually agreed with what Li Rui said in his heart. He really hated his sister who was stupid as a pig. This disruption alone would cause him to lose his reputation in the eyes of the public and Pei Ziheng.
Pei Yan also yelled. “Don’t try to stir things between my brother and I! Trying to bully me? Not a chance!”
Li Rui continued to smile. “My brother already said that today is a good day and he doesn’t want to see blood. However, you really are looking for death, and he might just grant your wish.” As he spoke, he stretched his fingers as if he was about to start a fight.
Pei Yan was terrified by his posture and her heart palpitated. She already heard how scary the Li Family was, but she never thought that they would dare to threaten her! “How dare you! We are from the Pei Family!” She tried to sound brave.
At the Pei Family table, a few people were already looking at her with disgust.
“Pei Yan, apologize to Miss Xia.” As the oldest cousin of the Pei Family who attended the banquet and one of the heir candidates, Pei Chengyu could no longer stand it anymore and said.
Pei Yan was unwilling to back down. “On what grounds!”
Pei Chengyu bellowed. “Apologize!”
This time, Pei Chengyu’s voice caused Pei Yan to shrink in fear. She looked at her own brother. Pei Chengyou secretly hated Pei Yan for being an imbecile but thanks to her, the Li Family was able to bully them and now, his compet.i.tor Pei Chengyu received a chance outs.h.i.+ne him. If he did not protect his sister today, he would lose all of his prestige in the Pei Family and no one would respect him. However, protecting his sister was too difficult. Why did his lousy sister have to offend Xia Yingluo out of all people here?! Seeing that the two young masters of the Li Family were so protective of Xia Yingluo, he knew that they treated her like a rare treasure!
Pei Chengyou said, “Cousin Chengyu, I can handle my own sister. You don’t have to care so much.”
Pei Chengyu thought that he was really unlucky that he was born in a family with those two living jokes! As if he wanted to care about this matter! The Li Family already said that there would be bloodshed. Well, they said that he might not kill anyone today, but they said that they would seek revenge after Pei Yan was chased out of the banquet. In this scenario, the best way to solve it was for Pei Yan to apologize. As long as she admitted that she was insensible, the situation would become less severe. Otherwise, if Pei Yan really caused another incident, the Pei Family would be humiliated! It was not worth it at all to make the Li Family open fire over such a worthless family member!
Xia Yingluo’s lips curved into a smile as she looked at the Pei Family scramble to deal with the situation.
She felt that Pei Ziheng really left too early, leaving the next generation who had no clear leader and could not solve this mess. However, on second thought, Uncle Pei might have deliberately left the scene so that his successors could prove their worth during this conflict.
As the eldest child, Pei Chengyu did not argue with Pei Chengyou. He only took a gla.s.s of wine to the Li Family’s table and said, “I apologize, young masters and Miss Xia. My cousin is insensible and as her senior, I would like to apologize on her behalf.”
As he spoke, he looked up and drank the full gla.s.s of wine.
Xia Yingluo smiled and felt that Pei Chengyu was still quite smart. It turned out that the next generation of the Pei Family was not all useless.
After he drank all his wine, the Li Family was still aggressive. Li Shaohui lazily said, “I’ll give Young Master Pei some respect and the Li Family won’t pursue this matter anymore. However, she still has to leave the banquet.” This was his bottom line. No one could get away easily after provoking his sister. A gla.s.s of wine? His sister was more precious than a gla.s.s of wine!
Pei Chengyu’s expression stiffened for a moment. “Li Shaohui, do you have no respect for the Pei Family?”
In reality, he personally understood Li Shaohui’s feelings. That useless Pei Yan provoked another family’s gem and things could not be settled over a gla.s.s of wine. However, considering the Pei Family, a gla.s.s of wine was his bottom line. Besides, the Pei Family was large and could not be bullied easily! A few of his relatives felt the same way and hated Pei Yan for putting them in a difficult situation.
Li Shaohui smiled lazily. “Mr. Yu.”
The host Mr. Yu broke out in a sweat. He did not want to get involved in the dispute between the two big families, but he could not escape. Plucking his courage, he said, “Young Master Li, take it easy on others. Take a step back and don’t be sad or angry…”
