C47 Your Brain Is a Good Thing but You Don't Have It.
Seeing that they would not stop, Pei Yichen signaled to Shen Heng, who was standing not far away, and Shen Heng immediately whispered something to the nervous Uncle Wu.
Uncle Wu nodded and went up to stop him. "Old master, stop and get some rest. You're already so old, why are you still fussing over a child? I'm going to prepare your favorite Pu'er tea."
Stopped by Uncle Wu, Old Master Pei finally threw his staff on the ground angrily, but he still pointed at Pei Yuanfan, warning: "All your cards will be blocked. And since you're so reckless, you're not allowed to go abroad again this year!"
"Shijie, Yichen, you two, follow me to the study."
Old Master Pei, still angry, called his other two grandsons to go with him.
Pei Shijie tried to push Pei Yichen's wheelchair, but Ningxia grabbed the handles first. "Yichen, I'll take you there."
Pei Yichen nodded and didn't say anything. The two of them went upstairs first.
Pei Shijie didn't feel awkward when he only grabbed air. He just smiled and walked towards the study.
Ning Xia sent Pei Yichen to the study and tactfully went back downstairs. It was not convenient for her to be present when they were talking about their own matters. But when she returned to the first-floor lobby, the situation was a bit embarrassing.
Pei Jianye had a dissatisfied look towards everyone. Zhang Wen didn't say a word.
Pei Sizhu and Zhao Jianqiang sat together, reading a magazine and discussing the new clothes.
And then, there was Pei Yuanfan, the one who had been deeply offended by Ningxia, ten minutes ago.
Ning Xia looked around and suddenly felt isolated.
Bored, she took out her phone, wanting to send some messages.
"Aiya, Ning Xia, so you're an orphan!"
Pei Yuanfan's voice was too loud, scaring Ning Xia to the point that she almost dropped her phone.
Why did she feel like Pei Yuanfan was targeting her?
Seeing that Ning Xia didn't say anything, Pei Yuanfan was somewhat scornful. "Is it because no one taught you how to be fair and honest, that's why you get involved in other people's marriages?"
Ning Xia's face fell, and her gaze went slightly cold.
Pei Yuanfan felt proud seeing that he finally got a reaction from this seemingly indifferent woman. "Do you have this disgusting trait in your genes? Maybe, you are just a bastard child that no one wants! Hahaha!"
Pei Yuanfan laughed loudly as he spoke, but none of the present people found his words funny.
Although Ning Xia's face was ice-cold, from beginning to end, she didn't say a single word.
Pei Yuanfan found himself in an embarrassing situation and coughed unnaturally to hide his discomfiture.
Ning Xia nonchalantly stood up and gave Zhang Wen a slight nod. Then, she said to Pei Sizhu, "Aunt, Uncle, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll head back to my room now."
She kept her composure, trying her best to look elegant and decent.
Pei Sizhu glared at Pei Yuanfan and nodded gently to Ning Xia, "Alright, you go. I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Ning Xia nodded and was about to leave. She deeply felt that she was not suitable to be part of their group.
Pei Yuanfan was anxious. His grandpa beat him up because of this woman and he still had to vent his anger. Why is this woman leaving? If he can't get even with her, then what about his self-esteem?!
He can't do anything to Pei Yichen, but can't he even handle his woman?
"Ning Xia, could it be that Big Daddy here was right about you being filthy, and that's why you couldn't stay any longer? Why are you going back to your room? If you have the guts, then scram back from where you came from! "
Ning Xia, who was about to leave stiffened, and slowly turned around. She gave Pei Yuanfan a meaningful look. The disgust and coldness in her eyes were not concealed in the slightest. "Pei Yuanfan, your brain is a good thing. Except, you don't have it."
With that, she walked upstairs without looking at Pei Yuanfan's expression.
Pei Yuanfan's arrogance was instantly extinguished, "Aunt, what does she mean?"
As a woman, being so ridiculed, shouldn't she cry and throw a tantrum? No matter how bad it was, she should at least fight with him. It just so happened that he took the opportunity to mock her and vent his anger, but why did she leave so calm and undisturbed, just throwing that sentence?
Pei Sizhu looked at her nephew's bewildered face and helplessly touched her forehead. "She means it literally."
This nephew is really brainless!
Pei Yichen was so protective of Ning Xia and the old man was so fond of her, why did he have to be so hostile towards her?
It was obvious that Ning Xia didn't want to fight and she was avoiding him, but he constantly challenged her!
"She said I had no brains!"
Pei Yuanfan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet in anger.
Ning Xia returned to her room with a disgusted expression on her face. She had had enough of this Pei Yuanfan.
Going on a blind date with Niu Juan because of a bet, was to casually play with other people's feelings. Also, doing a live recording, was to harm others maliciously.
Ning Xia already despised him for these things, but today, he also targeted her. Not only were his words too excessive, but they were also clearly insulting. She could bear it all because she didn't want to drag Pei Yichen down.
Pei Yichen was the best rich second generation she had ever seen. Looking at how hard he worked, he was completely different from people like Pei Yuanfan or Pei Shijie.
She lay on the bed depressed and brought the phone in front of her eyes. She wanted to see who was spreading the rumors.
Sure enough, all the hot searches were about her.
Posts about hitting people, posts about being a kept woman, posts about stealing someone's fiance, posts about being an orphan …
All types of articles were all over the place. All kinds of media were rushing to dig up new information. For fear that they would miss out on this hot topic, their attacks on Ning Xia were extremely nasty.
Ning Xia massaged her temples. She really wanted to say that her private life only mattered to her, but there were too many keyboard warriors on the internet. They would always criticize others before finding out the truth.
All the rhetoric made her unable to argue. The only thing she felt thankful about was that she was alone. If any family members knew about it, wouldn't they be angry?
Her best friend sent her a video call, and Ning Xia's depressed mood immediately improved. She forced a smile, trying to make herself look the same as usual, before answering. "Hello, what have you been up to lately?"
Yin Qingfeng smiled and waved at her from the other end of the phone. "Let me tell you a piece of good news. I'm about to finish my dissertation. After that, I'll go back."
Ning Xia was startled and instantly sat up. "Really, Qingfeng? Are you really going back home? But in this case, wouldn't it be a pity that you have worked so hard there all these years? "
