Chapter 67 The Pei family are all good at manipulating people’s hearts.

Qin Fang and Fu Songzhi helped to arrange the offerings and waited for a while before Pei's mother's family came. This time it was her brother and sister, whose surname was Song.

The two parties had a cold attitude when they met, looking more like enemies than relatives. Pei Yu lit the incense and candles and offered sacrifices as he did before. Shen Zhiyi stayed quietly beside him from beginning to end, but she could feel the gazes of the man and woman from the Song family looking at her.

After Pei Yu finished his worship, the brother and sister from the Song family came over to wipe the dust off the tombstone. The man poured a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Sister, you've been gone for more than 20 years. I still feel sorry for you when I think of you. When I think of you still buried in the Pei family's land, my heart aches!"

At the beginning, Pei's father vowed that he would take good care of her for the rest of her life, but in the end, he changed his mind after just a few years. They regretted it, hated it, and were unwilling to accept it!

"None of the Pei family is a good person. The husband is not like a husband, and the son is not like a son. Why are you so confused? Why don't you think about your own family..."

It's understandable that I hate Pei's father, but why do I have to blame Pei Yu too?
Shen Zhiyi frowned and clenched Pei Yu's hand in worry. He looked down with an indifferent expression, unusually calm, as if he didn't hear his uncle's weird tone at all. He was still concerned about her, "Are you tired?"

She shook her head and wanted to say something, but the occasion was not right and some things could not be said here.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Pei Yu smiled faintly, "I'm fine."

Even Qin Fang, who had the worst temper, did not interrupt the Song family at this time, but just listened with a cold face.

The worship service was finally over and the group went down the mountain. Qin Fang held it in for a long time, and as soon as it was over he went to find a place to smoke. It was obvious that he was very pent up. Qin Xiaoran and Shen Zhiyi walked behind him, chatting as they walked, talking about recent trivial matters.

Shen Zhiyi responded a few times, and once again noticed the overly obvious gaze falling on him. He turned his head and looked over. It was indeed Pei Yu's uncle.

The man hurried over and looked at her as if she were his disappointing sister. "Are you Pei Yu's woman?"

I haven't heard that Pei Yu is engaged, so I'm afraid their relationship isn't that serious yet.

Shen Zhiyi remained silent. Qin Xiaoran stood in front of her cautiously. "What does this have to do with you?"

"Heh," the man took a deep puff of his cigarette, "You know how my sister died, right? The Pei family are all good at playing with people's hearts. They love and pamper you now, but sooner or later they will change their hearts. If you are smart, stay away from such people--"

Matters of the heart cannot be ended just like that. There is no need to cause any serious damage. If you meet a man who changes his mind easily, you will suffer sooner or later.

"Hey!"

Qin Xiaoran was terrified when he heard this, even though Pei Yu was not there. If he had heard it, his uncle would have beaten him up anyway.

The man left after he finished speaking. Qin Xiaoran looked at Shen Zhiyi's face carefully, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Brother Pei Yu is different from his father."

Shen Zhiyi nodded, "Don't tell him."

"it is good."

Qin Xiaoran agreed and at the same time she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to tell Pei Yu about this. Pei Yu's relationship with his uncle was not good to begin with, and if he knew this, she was afraid that they would break up openly.

Walking down the mountain path, Pei Yu stood at the bottom of the stairs, with Secretary Qin standing next to him, saying something.

"Does Pei Yu have a bad relationship with his mother's relatives?"

"Yeah," Qin Xiaoran complained, "it's never been easy."

"why?"

Shen Zhiyi couldn't understand why the man, who seemed to love his sister very much, would be so rude to her child.

"Because they think Pei Yu is very much like his father,"

Although Qin Xiaoran knew that Pei Yu could not hear what they were talking about, he subconsciously lowered his voice, "Uncle Pei did not shed a tear when aunt passed away, and neither did brother Pei Yu. When he was a child he really looked like Uncle Pei. He looked like him, spoke like him, and acted like him. When people on aunt's side saw him, they thought he was the same as Uncle Pei and couldn't get close to him." Originally they were just venting their anger on others, because they hated Pei's father, so they disliked the child as well. But as time went on, they also wanted to see the only bloodline left by their sister, but Pei Yu at that time refused to get in touch with them.

"After that, Brother Pei Yu took over the Pei Group, and the relationship with them became even weaker."

In order to fight for the right of inheritance among his brothers and sisters, Pei Yu did many things using the methods taught by his father. In the eyes of the Song family, he was as ruthless as his father, and he was not at all like his gentle mother.

He is not a child of the Song family, his surname is Pei.

"So until now, I only see my aunt when I visit her grave."

Qin Xiaoran couldn't help but add, "Brother Pei Yu is not what they think. Although I don't know him very well, I know that he is different from Uncle Pei, otherwise my brother wouldn't have become good brothers with him."

She felt that the surname "Pei" had brought too much discredit to Pei Yu, and she tried her best to redeem his image. "Brother Pei Yu and Qin Fang are friends of life and death. It's no exaggeration to say that he saved my brother's life."

They had reached the end of the stairs. Pei Yu was waiting there. He glanced at Qin Xiaoran and saw that she looked strange. "What are you talking about with that expression?"

"No," Qin Xiaoran quickly covered up and ran away.

Pei Yu did not ask any more questions. He held Shen Zhiyi's hand and walked along the next section of the rugged path. "Do you want to eat outside or go back to Hua Ting?"

"Hua Ting."

Pei Yu responded in a low voice, and suddenly asked, "Did I make you unhappy?"

He was concerned about Shen Zhiyi's strange behavior during the sacrifice.

She looked up in surprise, unable to utter a word for a long time, until he gently pinched her fingertips.

"I...it's you who should be unhappy."

He was the one who was ridiculed by his uncle, and he was also the one who was scolded as being of the same ilk as Pei's father, so why did he care about whether she was happy or not.

"It's not worth worrying about," Pei Yu said lightly, "They have always been like this."

This has been their attitude since they attended his mother's funeral and found that he couldn't cry a single tear.

Pei Yu really didn't care, because it wasn't important.

"I won't bring you here next time," Pei Yu said, "I was inconsiderate this time."

I should have thought of it earlier. They would dislike her because of me.

"It's not your fault," Shen Zhiyi never talked about others behind their backs, but she made an exception this time. She had to admit that she was a little unhappy, "They are prejudiced against you."

To put it bluntly, it's just hatred for the whole family.

Pei Yu chuckled, "Well, you are right."

The two got into the car, and at the same time a car was driving towards this side.

In the quiet cemetery, the old man sat in a wheelchair, coughing for a long time facing the mountain breeze.

His voice was hoarse, "Who is that person next to Pei Yu?"

The man next to him replied, "His surname is Shen, and he's an actor."
