Guan Shengying gave a simple and honest smile and casually dropped a bombshell: "It means exactly what it says. I'm going to inherit tens of billions of family assets."
Guan Shengying and Zhu Shuangyao had grown up together. In her memory, he and his mother had depended on each other. When they were kids, they had been mocked because they were from a single - parent family. The two of them even fought those little kids until they swore never to gossip again.
Zhu Shuangyao took a bite of the cake and asked in confusion, "Isn't Aunt Guan just an ordinary corporate executive? Her annual salary should be around one million at most. Where did tens of billions of family assets come from?"
Guan Shengying raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Of course, it's because... my father has found us."
According to Guan Shengying's description, Aunt Guan had unrequited love for Mr. Pei. On their wedding night, the man made Aunt Guan sign a divorce agreement. After Aunt Guan gave birth to Guan Shengying, he had a child with his first love. Although it was later proved that his first love had cheated on him, Aunt Guan was disheartened and moved to City S to become neighbors with Zhu Shuangyao.
However, fate is unpredictable. After hiding for twenty years, Guan Shengying was finally found.
Guan Shengying said, "He's now on a business trip to City C with my mom. He said he wants to win my mom back and give her a grand wedding again. But my mom scoffed at it."
Zhu Shuangyao was so shocked that a small piece of the cake in her hand dropped. She twitched the corner of her mouth and asked, "Can I say something disrespectful to Mr. Pei?"
Guan Shengying motioned for her to go ahead.
Zhu Shuangyao said sincerely, "Mr. Pei is really a scumbag, and this story sounds so familiar. It's as if I've heard it before."
Guan Shengying actually agreed very much, "I also think my father is a scumbag."
Zhu's mother asked, "What does Aunt Xue think? Does she also agree that you should go back to the Pei family?"
Guan Shengying said, "My mom said she respects my decision. I can choose whether to go back or not. Even without the tens of billions of assets of the Pei family, the shares of the Guan family are not bad. But after thinking about it, I've decided to go back to the Pei family. My mom described what happened back then casually, but those people in the Pei family are not good people. My mom suffered so much. I have to make them taste it too."
Zhu's father disagreed, "Aunt Xue doesn't want you to be blinded by hatred. You should follow your heart."
Guan Shengying felt his eyes heat up. After all, he wasn't someone no one cared about. He lowered his head and discreetly wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye, then forced a smile and said, "Of course I'm willing to go back to the Pei family. Isn't tens of billions of family assets attractive?"
Zhu's father patted Guan Shengying on the shoulder, "If you're not happy in the Pei family, just come back. This will always be your home."
"Sure," Guan Shengying said with a smile. "Yao Yao is so cute. How could I bear to leave her alone here?"
"But I feel like you're not happy. Why?" Zhu Shuangyao had grown up with Guan Shengying. She could tell whether he was happy or not.
Guan Shengying flicked Zhu Shuangyao's forehead, "It's because I'm going to leave you guys. I came here today to tell you this and ask if you want to go with me. Since Uncle and Aunt don't come back often, I'm really worried about you being alone."
"I'm not going with you. I have something to do." Thinking of Huo Qizheng, Zhu Shuangyao couldn't help smiling. She still had to prepare a unique confession ceremony to confess her love to Mr. Huo. If she went to the Pei family with Brother Ying, she wouldn't be able to prepare for the confession. They might even interrogate her after knowing she was going to chase someone.
"Okay. Anyway, Uncle and Aunt have brought back this AI butler. You must keep it with you all the time. Set me as the emergency contact. Got it?"
In front of Zhu's father, Zhu's mother and Guan Shengying, Zhu Shuangyao put on the new smart bracelet, set the emergency contact, and showed it to them. Only then did they feel relieved.
"Do you need to make any preparations for going back to the Pei family?" Zhu Shuangyao asked. "Are you taking the train, high - speed rail or plane to the Pei family? Do you need me to prepare some food for you?"
Guan Shengying said, half - laughing and half - crying, "No, no, no. All I need to do to go back to the Pei family is change my name. My name will be Pei Ying from now on."
Oh, Pei Ying, Pei Ying? Pei Ying!
