Chapter 378
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment and closed the book.
"Why don't you speak?" Pei Feiyue asked.
"I'm waiting for you to attack me with all kinds of ugly words." Cheng Xi replied.
Pei Feiyue was not there when she went to Pei's house that day, but she would definitely know about such a big thing later.
Even though the two had become friends before, they became enemies due to this incident.
Pei Feiyue's eyes widened, "Who do you think I am? We are friends."
A look of surprise appeared on Cheng Xi's face, "Your mother hates me very much. She probably says bad things about me in front of you."
"My mother did say bad things about you, but I am in my twenties and I have my own independent thoughts."
Pei Feiyue curled her lips, "No matter who you are, it is a fact that you saved me. If you were a selfish and bad person, you would not sacrifice your body to save me in the bar. In that situation, it is what a person would do." It’s all instinctive.”
"I lied to your family. I got married as a substitute. Pei Yanzhou even said that I was taking advantage of his feelings."
"But my grandparents didn't hold you accountable either."
Pei Feiyue scratched the back of her head, "I think you were also instigated by your stepfather. Plus... without money, it's easy to make some wrong choices. And to be honest, it's hard for a doctor to do it." A person who has received a diagnosis and is about to die is a happy person. Indeed, don’t expect a well-qualified daughter to marry you. How can I put it, just like my grandfather said, my brother-in-law woke up on the wedding night, and you have completed yours. Tasks, everyone takes what they need.”
"Did your grandfather really say that?" Cheng Xi was surprised. She thought everyone in the Pei family was scolding her to death.
"Yes, actually my grandpa said you are quite courageous. Very few young people dare to speak like this in front of him. You are not that impulsive and bold, but you are brave and resourceful. It's a pity...you have grown up The environment is too complicated and the conditions at home are too poor," Pei Feiyue looked at her with hesitation.
"I understand." Cheng Xi smiled calmly, "If I have children in the future, I don't want my children to marry someone whose family conditions are too complicated. What's more, for a wealthy family like you, finding someone who is well-matched will save a lot of trouble. "
Pei Feiyue looked complicated, "Cheng Xi, I really admire you. After so many things, you can still live so sanely. You treat my brother-in-law..."
Cheng Xi was silent for a moment before confessing, "Of course I really like him. On the day I applied for the marriage certificate, I confessed to him and asked if I could pursue him, but he was rejected. The result was actually expected. I just wanted to Try it, if you like someone for the first time, you don’t want to leave any regrets.”
Pei Feiyue was dumbfounded and a little envious, "My brother-in-law... is very sensible, very proud, and very afraid of trouble. He values work more than anything else. Even if a person like him doesn't care about you in his heart, If you like her a little bit, you won’t be dominated by your feelings.”
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that." Cheng Xi replied with a sigh in his heart.
"You don't hate him at all?" Pei Feiyue couldn't help but ask.
"Why should I hate him?" Cheng Xi smiled, "You have the right to confess and pursue, and he also has the right to refuse. Looking at me from his status, identity, and perspective, I do feel a little overestimated."
Pei Feiyue looked at her quietly for a few seconds, and finally sighed, "Okay, Cheng Xi, you are very calm and rational, but don't worry, I won't look down on you. Now that I admit you This friend, as long as you don’t betray me, you will always be my friend.”
"Don't you think my family situation is complicated?" Cheng Xi looked strange.
"Why do you dislike it? I'm not looking for a husband."
Cheng Xi: "..."
Thank you.
Cheng Xi nodded, "We will go together then."
