After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 385

Pei Yong was a down-to-earth person who had lived through the cruel wartime years. Everyone around him was hot-blooded, and he never thought badly of people.

After leaving Zhi Xia, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt.

It could only be said that the man had used the wrong method.

If he had sincerely wanted to sell the house, he could have come to Pei Yong, explained the situation honestly, re-priced it reasonably, and things would not have turned out like this.

Now, even if he sincerely wanted to sell, Zhi Xia no longer wanted to buy from him.

It was several days later when Zhi Xia learned from Pei Yong that the man had sold the house after all, but for the cheap price of just 2,500.

He really had no choice. Something had apparently happened in his family, he urgently needed money, and he originally saw that Zhi Xia had money and was a woman, so he wanted to take advantage of her. But unexpectedly, his clever plan backfired, and when he sold it to someone else, the price was suppressed.

In the end, the house came back to Zhi Xia.

It had to be said that the person who bought the house had good intentions. He was also a nearby resident who knew that Zhi Xia had been asking around about houses. He desperately suppressed the price to take that house, then came to the door and offered to sell it to Zhi Xia for 300 more than he had paid. This way, he made some profit, Zhi Xia did not lose out, and as for the original home seller, who knew if he would be angered to death or not.

In the family chat space, Pei Jing also learned from Zhi Xia about what had happened at home recently.

He suddenly felt very useless.

Although he was praised by everyone in the army as the Soldier King, at home, he had been severely lacking in recent years. He really owed it to his wife and children.

"By the way, I promised the kids I'd take them out to play during the winter vacation and go to Beijing to see the sights of the capital. Do you have time off?" Zhi Xia asked him.

Pei Jing smiled and pulled her to sit on the sofa. "Of course I do. Since I promised the kids, if I don't have time, I have to make time, don't I?"

"That's good. I didn't know your schedule so I didn't dare tell them if you'd be going or not. Now that it's settled, there are only a few days until winter break, so make arrangements on your end as soon as you can." Zhi Xia leaned against him and said, "It's been more than a year of constant busyness, and I've neglected the kids too. I'll take this opportunity to make it up to them. Chenye also said he wants to go to the National University of Defense Technology. With his grades and physique, there definitely won't be a problem as long as nothing unexpected happens. I should be happy, but as I watch the kids grow up little by little, needing us less and less, I can't help feeling a little sad. I don't know how much longer I can be with them."

"If you can't bear to part with them, we can move to Beijing too. But kids have to leave home when they grow up to make their own way in the world. We should be happy for them. Children who are always sheltered under their parents' wings will never withstand the ravages of wind and rain, and we can't shelter them for life either." In fact, Pei Jing saw nothing wrong with Chenye leaving home alone. There was no banquet in the world that didn't break up eventually, not even between parents and children who could stay together forever.

He was orphaned at a young age and depended on his mother to live. After her death he was taken in and raised by the old master of the An family. Although the An family treated him very well, after all he was not of the An family's lineage, so psychologically the feeling was different.

After Pei Lao returned, he went back to live with his father, but by then he was already grown up. He respected his father and brothers, but was always lacking in intimacy.

So although everyone knew he was precocious, no one knew that he didn't dare or couldn't let himself go wild.

Therefore, after having children, even though his career kept him exceptionally busy, he still tried to spend as much time as possible with the kids and his wife. He had been busy for two years after transferring back and really couldn't make time, but now that everything was stable, he wanted to focus more on family.

Zhi Xia said, "Let's forget about moving to Beijing. Right now it's only Chenye who has to leave. In a few more years, who knows where they'll all run off to. We can't keep moving around after them."

The two sat together chatting idly about family affairs, mostly Zhi Xia talking about things at home while Pei Jing listened patiently, occasionally asking about the children's daily life.

When he learned of Wanqing's recent ordeal, as her father it was something he took to heart.

...

After Hu Zhou came back, Yue Ya reluctantly moved with him to the new home.

But whenever she had a chance, she would run back here. She still felt like this was her real home.

Yun Yan's mother brought her to stop Zhi Xia at the front gate. She knelt down with a thud, "Wanqing's mother, I know your family has power and influence beyond what ordinary people like us can associate with. We got ahead of ourselves even dreaming that our children could be friends. Kids don't know any better, but even if they offended your child, you shouldn't escalate the conflict to the adults. Our family relies on the two of us to support our elders and children. With one word from you, you've taken away both our jobs. How is our family supposed to live?"

It was just human nature for Chinese people to enjoy lively scenes. Originally there were hardly any pedestrians on the road, but with her shouting, passersby stopped in their tracks one after another, and neighbors who were home also came out to watch the commotion.

"Yun Yan's mother, you know better than anyone else whether something is right or wrong. What your daughter did was not 'not knowing better'. On the contrary, she knew better than anyone, taking advantage of children's jealousy to sow discord, ganging up with other children for isolation, then pretending to be innocent as she got close to my child, telling her that she'd only be willing to be friends if she did everything Yun Yan said, and gradually achieving her own goals step by step. Yun Yan's mother, do you call that kind of child 'not knowing better'?"

Zhi Xia frowned sternly.

No wonder Yun Yan was so manipulative at such a young age.

Just looking at her mother, running over to kneel down as soon as she arrived, immediately putting her in an arrogant, coercive position.

What good children could be raised by adults like this?

It would have been better if she had come today realizing her own mistakes to apologize. At least it would have given Zhi Xia a better impression of her.

"Also, do you need me to explain to everyone why your family gave up your original jobs and lives in the city you were living in, and instead coordinated job transfers so you could move your whole household here?"

Zhi Xia's questioning didn't intend to ask for her opinion at all. She went on directly, "It's because back in your original city, using the same methods, your daughter controlled a girl from a well-off family, making her secretly give all her allowance and clothes to your daughter, and even urged her to steal money from her parents for her. Otherwise she would team up with other children to isolate her. In the end it went too far and the girl's parents found out, so you also couldn't keep mixing in that city and had no choice but to move here."
