“There’s no need,” Su Ji interrupted nonchalantly. “Besides, didn’t you change your mind because you knew that my younger brother wasn’t of the Su family’s blood?”
Don’t make it sound so dignified.
She wasn’t the original owner, so she wasn’t that easy to fool.
She could turn a blind eye if it didn’t involve her principles, but that didn’t mean she could forget everything in the past.
However, compared to other things, those conflicts that were later diluted were not as important.
However, she was willing to play along.
Su Cunyi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his study. He was shrouded in great disappointment. It turned out that all the signs of improvement that he had thought were all illusions.
His daughter did not want to forgive him at all.
Even though he knew that Su Junye and Su Qianrou were not part of the Su family and that it was something that would hurt him, he still blurted it out over the phone and used it as a weapon to attack her father.
“Su Ji,” he said sternly. “Even if it’s partly because of Junye, it’s only a part of it. I admit that I didn’t do well in the past, but don’t negate all my efforts.”
“I’m only telling the truth as I see it,” Su Ji said.
She had always been polite, but she was neither servile nor overbearing. “You seem to have changed, but more importantly, Ning Lihua and Su Qianrou have been chased away by me. When they were still around, you swayed left and right and pretended to be peaceful. If you have forgotten, I still remember.”
“As for Madam Xu, no matter how many Uncle Tong’s appear around her, she will always stand by my side at the first moment of any conflict. This is the biggest difference between you two.”
“You and grandma can only be moved by the most important benefits. Previously, it was Ning Lihua and her daughter, and now it’s the Su family’s ancestors. Whenever something new happens, conflicts will appear again. You have your persistence, and I don’t want to suffer. So, in the end, it’s impossible to reconcile, isn’t it?”
Xu Mingzhi looked at her daughter.
She didn’t say a single dirty word, and even her breath didn’t change.
However, her logic was extremely clear and she could always hit the nail on the head.
This was also why Su Cunyi was not really angry when Xu Mingzhi had just scolded him, but Su Ji’s words made him emotional.
After a long period of silence, his voice was clearly low. “There’s still an hour before the auspicious time. I’ll ask you again. Are you sure you don’t want to come back?”
“It’s New Year’s Eve today,” Su Ji replied in a different way. “Say hi to grandma for me.”
After saying that, she hung up the phone and threw it to Xu Mingzhi.
In the end, they parted on bad terms.
Xu Mingzhi caught it and used her other hand to open the door of the study. “That’s my daughter for not being soft-hearted to your scumbag father.”
Su Ji looked at her and smiled faintly. “The ancestors of the Su family never blessed me. Now, they’re calling me to go back and greet them. I won’t serve them unless they come themselves.”
Xu Mingzhi was successfully amused by her last sentence. “I hope not!”
Su Cunyi did not call again after that. The auspicious time was getting closer and closer.
The Pei family’s banquet started at eight sharp.
At 7:30, everyone started to head to the dining area.
Last year, Du Meilan felt that the dining table was not big enough. This year, there were more people, so she specially ordered a bigger one a month in advance.
The table was made of pure marble and had its own temperature control system.
Although this function was not available in the Pei family table, they would only serve the freshest food when the masters were seated.
Pei Xi, Bill, and their little princess sat together. Beside them were Pei Song and Cao Zhuzhu. Pei Huai and Su Ji sat on Pei Qingshen’s right.
On the left were Du Meilan, Wang Yi, and Xu Mingzhi.
At a glance, it was very clear that the members of each family were in their own groups.
The servants served the dishes in an orderly manner under the butler’s instructions.
In a short while, the cold marble dining table was decorated with all kinds of colorful food.
Pei Song placed his hands behind his back and hugged her waist. “You should bring Madam Xie along. I feel bad leaving her alone in her hometown on New Year’s Eve.”
He was rarely serious, and Cao Zhuzhu was not used to it.
Pei Song continued, “I’m serious. I’ve always been concerned about my mother-in-law.”
Cao Zhuzhu finally understood why he was able to successfully subdue Madam Xie in just a few months. His mouth was really not in vain.
She pulled out a few photos from her phone and showed them to him. They were sent to her by Madam Xie just today.
