The words made Cheng Zihuai's expression darken immediately. His eyes were so dark and fierce it was as if he wanted to strangle Pei Yunge to death!
"Pei Yunge, don't think that you can be this arrogant just because you have the Qin family!" he ground out through clenched teeth.
Pei Yunge snorted as she carried the books in her arms as if nothing had happened. Slowly, she asked another question in return.
"Do I need the Qin family to be arrogant?"
The girl's features were extremely pretty, but she made others feel that she was extremely provocative. In fact, her words rendered Cheng Zihuai so speechless that his face flushed completely red!
It was only after Pei Yunge left on her own accord that Cheng Zihuai finally took in a deep breath to make himself calm down.
As he stared at Pei Yunge's back, dark riidicule and coldness appeared in his eyes.
Never mind. He didn't need to bother about this type of person either.
Compared to a G.o.ddess like Qin Youjiao that had been groomed to be both beautiful and talented since young, Pei Yunge was indeed the humiliation of the Qin family.

It was no wonder she couldn't receive the concern and love of the Qin family.

Served her right.

For the next two days, Pei Yunge was busy finis.h.i.+ng her project as she waited for the brain surgeon's reply.
It was only on Friday that Pei Yunge suddenly remembered that she forgot to tell that person about this.
After cla.s.s.
Pei Yunge found a deserted corner in school and called Huo s.h.i.+du.
In the Huo Corporation.
The handsome and dignified man had just finished a meeting. The atmosphere around him was suffocating and frozen.
One had no choice but to admit that every of the Huo Corporation's internal meetings felt like a court trial awaiting its verdict. It felt extremely ominous and stressful.
However, after everyone left, the man heard the vibrations of his phone. His cold pale-colored orbs glanced at the caller ID on the screen before he picked up his phone and answered the call.
He asked carelessly, "Child,
"We just finished," Pei Yunge said. "Older Brother, I have to go home today."
"Go home?"
"Mm, my grandpa has just returned from the hospital, so I'm planning to go and visit him."
"Sure."
With Huo s.h.i.+du's reply, before Pei Yunge could hang up the call, she heard him ask again.
"Oh right, Yunyun, how were the results of your previous monthly exam?"
Pei Yunge did not know what to say. How did he even know about her exams?
The corners of the man's curled-up eyes drooped slightly as he said lazily, "Yunyun, Older Brother thinks that you being like this won't do…"
In the end, when the call ended, a whole weekend of revision packages had been arranged for Pei Yunge. At the same time, Huo s.h.i.+du, who was sitting in front of his office desk, remained in deep thought for a while, before he called Qin Yu as well.
In the Qin family old manor.
Old Master Qin had yet to return, but Mrs Qin had already changed into a violet cheongsam. She had dressed herself up to look demure and elegant as she waited.
"Mom, will Grandpa be like the past when he returns this time…"
Qin Youjiao hid the anger and resentment in her eyes as her fists were so tightly clasped together that her fingers had turned white.
In the past, it could be said that Old Master Qin doted on her and treated her as his biological granddaughter. However, ever since Pei Yunge returned, Old Master Qin had been biased towards Pei Yunge in every way.
He even forbade her from staying in the old mansion because of Pei Yunge.
At the thought that she could only go stay in a nearby hotel every time she returned to the old mansion in the past two years, the hatred in Qin Youjiao's heart grew even thicker.
How was Pei Yunge comparable to her?
She was clearly a useless piece of tras.h.!.+ However, the old man only recognized the dead facts and only saw blood ties to be the most important!
"Don't worry, you know how much Grandpa doted on you before. He just needs some time…"

As Mrs Qin stared at Qin Youjiao, her heart ached for the latter uncontrollably. With a sigh, she comforted her daughter, "However, you know Grandpa sees blood ties as important. Nevertheless, as long as Jiaojiao, you are filial, how could Grandpa bear to remain steel-hearted?"
Hearing this, Qin Youjiao's tone sounded a little pitiful. "Really? Mom, Third Brother doesn't seem to dote on me anymore. Will you too in the future…"
"Foolish child, you'll always be Mom's daughter. Always." Mrs Qin smiled as she interrupted Qin Youjiao.
