Chapter 98

After bidding farewell to Old Pei, Second Uncle Pei Sheng and Pei JianGuo sent them out the door.

With three grown men present, none of them let Zhou Nan carry anything the entire way.

Pei Jing chatted with Second Uncle along the way. Pei JianGuo was in very low spirits, seeming somewhat decadent compared to when they first met him, no longer like that cheerful and gentle young man.

Pei Sheng suddenly turned back and slapped Pei JianGuo heavily on the shoulder, saying, "JianGuo, don't keep such a long face. There is love to be found everywhere, a real man can focus on his career first before settling down. When you've succeeded, who says you still can't find a good wife?"

Pei Sheng was also quite puzzled, and didn't know what his nephew was thinking.

Although Gao Meiyun wasn't ugly, she wasn't very pretty either. Just had fair skin. She was notorious for being bad when she was little, though she had improved somewhat these past two years. But when she talked, it still felt pretentious.

When they spoke of this matter, everyone found it bizarre. A living person dying in broad daylight from some bug's sting, yet they couldn't even find what had stung her.

The detention center had been busy fumigating and killing insects these past few days because someone had died. Zhou Nan heard they even got criticized by their superiors over it.

Pei JianGuo dodged away, mumbled something, and maintained his sullen silence.

Pei Sheng thought to himself that he would have to call Big Brother another day. Big Brother was rarely home, and his mother had spoiled this boy rotten.

Compared to his siblings settled at home, JianGuo was much more useless. He relied on the family to arrange his job, and hadn't accomplished anything substantial after working for so long. Now he had also stumbled over a woman, moping around feeling sorry for himself daily like Sister Lin from storytelling performances.

Pei Jing didn't know what he was thinking either, and gave Pei JianGuo a glance but said nothing.

Zhou Nan thought about how her first life's self had left Pei JianGuo billions in inheritance, so she quietly asked, "Aren't you going to discipline your nephew?"

She just wanted to see what status Pei JianGuo currently held in Pei Jing's heart.

But the result was beyond her expectations.

"It's his parents' responsibility to discipline him, what does it have to do with me?" Pei Jing said. Perhaps feeling his words were too harsh, his tone softened as he continued, "What's more, he's already a grown adult and should take responsibility for his own actions."

He was only a few years older than Pei JianGuo anyway, just a higher generation.

Pei Jing also looked down on Pei JianGuo somewhat. A man in his early 20s should be building his career and achievements, but two years ago the family had wanted to send him into the military. He couldn't endure the hardships though, and his mother couldn't bear to part with him either, so they could only abandon that plan and find him a job in the government instead.

He hadn't asked in detail, but Pei Jing had heard the elders sighing, saying the boy was distracted and never focused on his work even at such a young age.

Zhou Nan imperceptibly raised the corners of her lips. "I thought he was the only boy of the younger generation in your family, so he should be the most valued at home."

Pei Jing felt Zhou Nan's words were very strange.

It was true JianGuo was the only boy among the younger generation, but their Pei family wasn't biased towards males to that extent right?
