Jiaojiao, You Don't Want To... [Yandere Reverse Harem Novel]

Chapter 18 (2 / 2）

"It's healed." Pei Ye pushed his mother's hand away and said, "So for the engagement party, I'm not—"

"You're going." Pei's mother interrupted Pei Ye, her hand cupping his face, forcing him to look at her. "I don't know how things are between you young people, but he's done you a favor, and he's done me a favor. Most importantly, if he doesn't help you, you won't succeed."

Pei Ye was a little confused by her words. His shark teeth were bared, and he said, "Is there something you're hiding from me about him?"

Pei's mother said, "Maybe I'll tell you later. It's not the right time yet." She shoved the gift list into Pei Ye's hand and solemnly instructed him, "Make up with Yuancheng. Don't be so impulsive. Do it for the sake of inheriting the Pei family."

"The Jiang family is powerful, but the Pei family isn't any worse, is it?" Pei Ye clearly couldn't understand. He clutched the list and touched his mother's head. "Are you feverish or am I feverish? Mom, what are you talking about?"

Pei's mother just shook her head and said, "This is a crucial moment. You have to go to the engagement party. And... change your clothes now and come downstairs with me to see people." He saw a kind of determination and sadness in her eyes. For a moment, Pei Ye didn't feel like arguing anymore. After a while, his shoulders relaxed, and his tone became listless. "...Okay."

Pei's mother nodded and didn't say anything else. She just touched his hair and left. Pei Ye pounded the pillow on the sofa, then scratched his white hair. After a fit of madness, he changed into his suit and went downstairs. It was a small banquet. Soft music flowed, and everyone chatted casually. Pei's mother had already composed herself and stood beside Pei's father. In front of them was a couple—Jiang Qingshuang and Jiang Linchen. She saw Pei Ye and waved to him. He reluctantly walked over. Pei's mother pressed his shoulder and said, "He's such a big guy, and he's still afraid of seeing people. Say hello."

Pei Ye mumbled, "Aunt Qingshuang, Brother Linchen, long time no see." ()

Jiang Linchen waved his hand and smiled. "Why are you being so formal? You never called me brother when you were with Yuancheng. You'll call me brother when you grow up."

"Maybe you're a professor now, and people feel like they should respect you." Hearing Jiang Linchen's relaxed tone, Pei Ye's depressed mood improved a little. He said, "Come on, let's go get a drink."

Jiang Qingshuang smiled and shook her head. "Okay, okay. I know you young people like to hang out together. Go ahead."

Jiang Linchen and Pei Ye then slipped away and went to a corner a little further away. As soon as Pei Ye sat down, he started calling for the waiter to pour him a drink. After forcing down three or four glasses, he spoke. "How long are you planning to stay? Let's go out and have some fun together later. I found a fun project recently. It's really exciting."

"I'm not sure yet. I don't have classes next semester. The research institute is pretty relaxed right now. I'll see after the engagement party." Jiang Linchen also took a few sips of his drink. He looked at Pei Ye and saw that his face had fallen. He raised an eyebrow. "Why does your face fall as soon as you hear about the engagement party? No, I heard from the butler that he gave you two invitations, but I haven't heard you say whether you're going or not. What's wrong? Did you guys have a fight?"

"Yeah." Pei Ye knew rationally that he shouldn't talk bad about his cousin to someone else, but his emotions told him that he really wanted to say it. So he said, "Jiang Yuancheng hit me."

Jiang Linchen raised an eyebrow again. Pei Ye didn't care and told him the gist of the story. After he finished, he started drinking again. After a round of drinks, his limbs felt warm, and his remaining brain cells were pretty much dead.

After listening, Jiang Linchen said, "It sounds like you actually do like Wen Zhijiao."

Pei Ye had just finished his drink. When he heard this, he choked, his face turning even redder, his eyes widening. A series of coughs made his expression look particularly terrifying. He finally managed to compose himself, leaned closer to Jiang Linchen, and grabbed his collar. "Don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Linchen said, "Why do you two guys like to grab my collar?" He didn't understand. Why did he get persecuted just for being honest? Maybe he was really only suited for academics, not for being a person. Jiang Linchen pushed Pei Ye away and said seriously, "Otherwise, why would you take the blame for her? Your car was smashed because she lied. She's at least 60% responsible, but you've been cursing Jiang Yuancheng the whole time."

Pei Ye's face turned even redder. He glared. "Jiang Linchen, you're just protecting your brother!"

Jiang Linchen said, "That's not true. He hit me too. The reason was also because he thought I liked Wen Zhijiao."

Pei Ye's eyes widened, and his voice was slurred. "What?"

"It doesn't matter. Jiang Yuancheng is wrong to bite people randomly, but you do have a problem." Jiang Linchen paused and then said, "But I'm curious, have they been like this since high school?" He said, "You and Wen Zhijiao were in the same department, right?"

Pei Ye's brain was in a daze. He tilted his head and touched his hot ears and face. After a while, he said, "I don't remember."

Jiang Linchen said, "Was she like that then, always lying, timid, and doing a lot of stupid things?" Actually, there was no point in asking this question, but Jiang Linchen felt that maybe Wen Zhijiao was pretending. Although his guess was unfounded, he just felt that she must have something extraordinary about her.

Pei Ye didn't know what he was thinking about, but he () laughed. Jiang Linchen waited for a few seconds and looked over. Pei Ye was still laughing, but he didn't say anything. He was a little impatient, but he just said, "Talk. What are you laughing at? ()"

Pei Ye couldn't stop laughing. He supported his forehead. After a while, he said, "Nothing. I was just her classmate, and we rarely talked.
