Chapter 1851: Zhou Ruxue
Old Master s.h.i.+ agreed to Grandma Pei’s request.
“Let’s go.”
Grandma Pei had always wanted to restore her and Chi Yuansheng’s sibling-like relations.h.i.+p. When she heard Old Master s.h.i.+’s words, she immediately stood up with a bright smile on her face.
“Mother, feel free to go, but I won’t. Father will only cause me trouble.” Zhou Ruxue also stood up, but she did not plan to follow Grandma Pei out.
Zhou Ruxue was Chi Yang’s mother. Back then, she had not cared about Old Master Chi’s objections and had insisted on marrying Pei Jitong after Chi Zehao died in battle.
Their marriage made Old Master Chi furious. He immediately cut off all ties with the Pei family and from then on, no longer considered Zhou Ruxue to be his daughter-in-law.
Initially, she was very displeased by this. However, when she thought about Old Master Chi’s trembling appearance, she knew that he did not have many years left to live. After Old Master Chi died, Chi Yang would be left in charge.
Chi Yang was the leader of the Eagle Special Forces. In this country, where even the president had to have a good relations.h.i.+p with the Special Forces, Chi Yang was someone very important.
Therefore, only after Zhou Ruxue took the t.i.tle of Chi Yang’s biological mother and promised that after Old Master Chi died, she would lead the Pei family to prosperity and get them to be a family like the Nangong family... did Grandma Pei turn a blind eye and allow Zhou Ruxue to interact with her son. Even though Old Master Chi had severed his relations.h.i.+p with her, she did not stop Zhou Ruxue from becoming the daughter-in-law of the Pei family in the end.
Pei Jitong stood up in a gentlemanly manner and reached out to hold Zhou Ruxue’s hand. He said gently, “Old Master probably doesn’t want to see us. I’ll accompany you for a walk.”
“Okay.” Zhou Ruxue smiled gently.
Pei Jitong was an elegant and peerless young master. He was a man as gentle as jade. He was completely different from an iron-blooded soldier like Chi Zehao.
Chi Zehao was cold, aloof, and unsmiling. He expressed no emotions at all. On the other hand, Pei Jitong was gentle, considerate, modest, and polite. Even though they had been together for more than ten years, he was always sincere in his actions and took good care of her.
Zhou Ruxue really regretted marrying Chi Zehao back then. It was only because she had taken a fancy to his family background. If she had met Pei Jitong earlier in life, she would definitely not have married Chi Zehao, even if she was threatened with being beaten to death.
As she snuggled into Pei Jitong’s arms, Zhou Ruxue felt that this was the happiest thing life had to offer.
Old Master s.h.i.+ brought Madam Pei, whose name was Lan Huifang, out to the main villa’s gate. They saw a limited edition Maybach slowly drive into the villa area, so they hurriedly went up to greet the people inside.
The cars of the ordinary guests had already been parked at the parking area outside. Only someone with Old Master Chi’s status had the right to park their car on the lawn outside the villa.
The car stopped, and the maids immediately went up to open the doors on both sides of the car.
From the pa.s.senger seat, Chi Yang opened the car door himself and got out.
Old Master s.h.i.+ saw Old Master Chi and Chi Yang get out of the car. He was smiling as he welcomed them, but the next moment, when he saw Nangong Nuannuan get out of the car, his smile instantly froze.
Ever since the incident with his granddaughter, s.h.i.+ Yalin, the s.h.i.+ family had been very wary of Nangong Nuannuan.
After all, this woman who was secretly a world-cla.s.s mercenary was not a good person.
When he saw her slender figure coming out of the car with a smile on her face, Old Master s.h.i.+ felt as if a thorn had pierced his throat.
After all, the s.h.i.+ family had suffered a great loss at her hands.
When he thought about his granddaughter, who was inside the house behind him, Old Master s.h.i.+ could not smile at all.
