Chapter 253
Ye Xin thought Pei Zhu wanted to have a drink with him again, and was about to ask why Pei Zhu didn't wait for him to leave. It was not a good idea to drink so early in the morning.
But before he could open his mouth, he was stunned by Pei Zhu's question.
"Xiang Cheng, has Xi Niang returned to Hangzhou City?"
Xiang Cheng is Ye Xin's pen name. When they were relatives by marriage, they always addressed each other as brother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Now this way of addressing is no longer appropriate, so we changed to using the other party's name.
"Bozhi, how did you know?"
Ye Xin was a little confused. Since Pei Zhu came to ask, they must not have met face to face. Did they meet each other?
Hangzhou city is so big, how could we meet there?
"So that person must be her. When did she come back? Why didn't you tell me?"
They had just been drinking together not long ago, but Ye Xin's behavior was a little strange at the time. He didn't take it seriously at the time. Could it be that Ye Xi came back at that time?
"Bozhi, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but now things have changed and I don't know what you two are thinking.
If you are lucky enough to reunite, that would be great. If not, it would also be fine if you just forget each other." Ye Xin said.
"Has Xi Niang been divorced?"
Pei Zhu was a little angry. The person whom he once held dearly was taken away by force.
As a result, the other party did not cherish her well and even dared to let Xi Niang down.
But he changed his mind and realized that the man was in a high position with great power. After so many years, it was common for him to abandon the man after his novelty wore off.
"My sister has never been taken into his house. Now that the master has set her free, she came back and now lives at home." Ye Xin told the truth.
What?! Pei Zhu was shocked. Xi Niang had given birth to a child for him, but he didn't even give her the status of a concubine?
It's too much to bully others, it's really too much to bully others!
As if he understood what Pei Zhu was thinking, Ye Xin comforted him:
"It was my sister who didn't want to be my concubine. She said that if I became a concubine, I would be beaten, scolded, and sold at the will of others, and she was afraid that she would not have the chance to come back in one piece.
Now the outcome is not too bad, at least my sister is free."
Pei Zhu didn't expect Ye Xin's attitude to be like this. If an ordinary person were to get connected with such a powerful family, how could he give up the opportunity to benefit from it?
But after thinking about it, it seemed that Xi Niang also had the same personality.
Xi Niang was raised by the Ye family, so it is normal for the Ye family to be like this.
"How will she live in the future?"
Ye Xi was supported by him before, but now she is alone and her life may not be easy.
He didn't know about the child, but he knew that such a family would never let the child leave with the mistress.
"Don't worry, my sister is now running the Zhiwei Restaurant and has bought a lot of land for rent. Her life will definitely not be bad. Even I, as her brother, am benefiting from her kindness."
Ye Xin spoke the truth and would not hide anything just to take advantage of his sister. He was truly sincere to Pei Zhu.
"It turns out that Xi Niang is so capable. I feel relieved now."
Pei Zhu gave a bitter smile. What was he expecting? Even if Ye Xi was abandoned, she would still be out of his reach.
It turns out that Xi Niang relied on him back then not because he was so capable or she was so incompetent, but simply because - she was lazy.
Now that she is on her own, their positions have been reversed.
The starlight in his eyes dimmed.
"Bozhi, I don't object to what you are doing. I also don't want my sister to end up alone. If you are determined, you have to work hard."
He didn't say what he was working hard for, but Pei Zhu understood. He smiled bitterly, wondering how he could bring happiness to Xi Niang now.
