After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!

Chapter 584 - 568: Kneeling on the Washboard

"Besides, our Yunyun didn’t even do anything and she’s being talked about like this. If your Qingqing went through the same thing, she’d probably be making a scene like she was dying already. You can’t just ignore our Yunyun just because she’s sensible!"Mrs. Pei’s face darkened.

The two families actually got along pretty well before, she’d just wanted to knock some sense into Qingqing’s parents and get them to discipline their kid.

But since they felt it wasn’t necessary, then this dinner really was turning into a joke.

Mrs. Pei let out a cold laugh.

Qingqing panicked, immediately stood up, picked up the wine glass in front of her. "I’m sorry, Sister Yunyun, I was really wrong. I’ll clarify things as soon as I go back. This drink is my apology to you, I hope you won’t hold my mistakes against me. I really know I was wrong."

Her father and mother also realized how serious this was and quickly followed with apologies. "Sorry, sorry, the child is clueless, it’s all because we didn’t educate her well. We’ll definitely teach her properly when we go back."

"Yunyun, just forgive Qingqing. She grew up with Pei Yan since they were little, he spoiled her, so she’s a bit pampered. We’ll definitely fix that."

Qin Yun laughed. So in the end this all had to be blamed on Pei Yan?

Qingqing muttered under her breath, "If Brother Yan were here, he’d never let me suffer such a grievance."

Qin Yun heard it.

Did this kid have tofu dregs in her head? At a time like this she still dared to say something like that?

Sure enough, Mrs. Pei got angry.

"Whether Pei Yan is here or not, there’s only one outcome for what happened today." Mrs. Pei looked coldly at Qingqing, her tone severe. "Since you don’t want to apologize and don’t know how to repent, then there’s nothing more to say. Yunyun, let’s go, we’re going home."

Mrs. Pei grabbed Qin Yun and got ready to leave.

Qingqing’s whole family panicked, and her father hurriedly asked, "What about the investment?"

"The investment is gone."

Mrs. Pei threw down those four words cleanly and left the private room with Qin Yun.

The three people behind rushed out after them, and just as they reached the elevator, the doors opened and Pei Yan walked out.

Seeing Qin Yun and his mother at the door, both looking upset, his brows instantly furrowed. "What happened?" he asked.

Qin Yun shook her head, and Mrs. Pei, furious, directly tossed her bag into Pei Yan’s arms. "You clean up your own mess."

Pei Yan glanced back and finally saw Qingqing’s family rushing over. Qingqing’s father, when he saw him, looked like he’d just found his savior.

"Pei Yan, you’re finally here. Hurry and talk to your mom and Qin Yun. Qin Yun and Qingqing were just fooling around, you can’t drag the business between our two families into this. We’ve had so many years of friendship, how can it just end like that? The investment, you still have to think carefully."

When Qingqing saw Pei Yan, she practically wanted to plaster herself onto him. If he hadn’t taken a step back, she might’ve actually thrown herself into his arms.

"Brother Yan, I didn’t mean it. You know I’m slow to react, that’s why I made so many mistakes. Please forgive me, tell Sister Yunyun not to hold my unintentional mistake against me."

Pei Yan sneered. "An unintentional mistake?"

If all that counted as an "unintentional mistake," then would murder also be an unintentional mistake that could be easily forgiven?

"Whether it was unintentional, you know full well. Uncle, you know how many years our families have been close, we value that a lot. But your family doesn’t value this relationship, and you look down on the mistress of the Pei Family. So I can only grit my teeth and cut this tie. As for the investment, there’s nothing more to say. Once it’s withdrawn, it’s withdrawn, there will be no change."

Pei Yan walked behind Qin Yun and gently supported her by the waist.

"My wife, Pei Yan’s wife, is not someone others can scheme against and then just walk away like nothing happened."

He gave Qingqing’s family a cold look, then took Qin Yun into the elevator and closed the doors right as they tried to follow them in to keep pleading.

Mrs. Pei spoke bluntly, without holding back. "Didn’t I tell you last time, if something like this happens again, just go home and kneel on a washboard?"

Pei Yan’s face froze.

She did seem to have said that... but it’s not like he wanted this to happen either...

Pei Yan looked at Qin Yun for help, but Qin Yun quietly shifted her gaze away, pretending not to see, though deep down she was a little excited.

Pei Yan kneeling on a washboard!!

Never seen, never even heard of!

"Butler, send a washboard to the suburban villa, for Young Master. Yes, send it straight there."

Mrs. Pei called the house butler, and the butler immediately had someone rush a washboard over.

"Mom..."

Pei Yan rubbed his forehead weakly. Did she really have to be this serious about it?

"Don’t call me Mom, I’m very angry right now. Take good care of Yunyun. I’m leaving."

The elevator reached the first floor. Mrs. Pei finished speaking, took her bag, and walked away without looking back.

Leaving only Pei Yan standing there, completely dazed.

Qin Yun burst out laughing, laughing so hard she almost couldn’t straighten her back. "Mr. Pei, let’s go home. I really want to see what you look like kneeling on a washboard. I’m looking forward to it."

Qin Yun took Pei Yan’s hand and headed toward the entrance. Pei Yan’s car was still parked out front; he hadn’t even driven it down to the underground garage.

Pei Yan was a bit helpless. "I think you’re way too happy about my misfortune, Mrs. Pei."

Qin Yun pinched her fingers together to show a tiny gap. "Just a little bit. Really, only a tiny bit."

The two of them got in the car and left.

By the time Qingqing’s family came downstairs, they were already long gone.

Qingqing’s father was so angry his vision went black. He swung his hand and slapped Qingqing across the face. "You little brat, tomorrow you’re going to kneel and apologize to Qin Yun. If she doesn’t forgive you, you’re not allowed to get up! The Pei Family’s investment absolutely cannot be withdrawn!"

Qingqing cried with red-rimmed eyes. "So what’s more important, the investment or me?"

"Without the investment, without the company, you’re nothing. And you still dare to offend Qin Yun? Look at yourself, do you really think you’re worthy? She’s the Pei Family’s young madam!"

Qingqing stiffened her neck and roared, "If you hadn’t shipped me off abroad, that position of young madam would be mine!"

Qingqing’s father froze for a second, then got even angrier and raised his hand for another slap.

But before the slap landed, his hand spasmed uncontrollably and his whole body pitched forward.

"Dad!"

...

Qin Yun and Pei Yan went home, and Qin Yun handed him the script that Chen Lan had given her.

After reading it, Pei Yan also felt this script was pretty good, and that once it was released it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

The emotions and story in the script were excellent, and the charm of this character in particular was irresistible.

"You want to take it?"

Pei Yan closed the file, tilted his head to look at Qin Yun beside him, not missing the excited light in her eyes.

Qin Yun nodded, then shook her head. "The script really is great, and I’ve never played a role like this before, it feels like a real challenge. But it’s not a must-take. The child still has to come first, so I haven’t agreed yet."
