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

Chapter 257

There was a knock on the door, and Pei Jing's voice appeared outside. Zhi Xia hurried to open the door, only to see Pei Jing and Pei Yong both standing outside.

"I just fell asleep and didn't hear it. Did you wait outside for a long time?" Zhi Xia pretended to have just woken up and rubbed her eyes.

Pei Jing played along very cooperatively. "Not that long. I just happened to come back when my brother was here too. We were chatting in the yard. Is the kid hungry or needs to pee?"

"Probably both." Zhi Xia let him in.

Pei Yong just took a look from the doorway and said, "You go ahead and help take care of the kids. I'll go see if Dad is awake."

After Pei Jing entered the room, the two of them deftly took care of the three children.

In the evening, Pei JianGuo and Pei Shuangshuang came over with their grandfather.

The scrape on Pei JianGuo's forearm had been treated, but the area was large and looked rather shocking.

Their grandfather noticed it first. "What happened here? How did you get injured?"

"I fell off my bike by accident at noon. I already went to the hospital to get it treated. It's nothing, Grandpa, don't worry." After Pei JianGuo explained, he no longer showed any sign of the distress he had displayed due to Wang Yue's words at noon. Instead, he looked very cheerful. His eyes even seemed to radiate light as he greeted Pei Yong, "Dad."

Pei Yong also responded with a sound, beckoning the siblings over to talk.

The last time they met was four years ago. Although they had been in phone contact in between, four years was still a long time with considerable changes.

His son's face had matured quite a bit. Although he still smiled silly like a child who hadn't grown up. His daughter had also grown up compared to her former innocence. She just seemed a little restrained, standing behind her brother with her head lowered without saying a word.

Pei Yong didn't blame her, because he knew he didn't have the right. No matter what happened between him and Wang Yue, when facing the two children, he would always feel guilty for not fulfilling his own responsibilities.

"Dad, are you going to divorce Mom?"

Pei Shuangshuang's sudden sentence shocked everyone.

The smile on Pei JianGuo's face also disappeared, and his complexion became silently solemn.

Their grandfather was also worried and asked, "JianGuo, is Shuangshuang telling the truth?"

Zhi Xia didn't want to get involved in their affairs, so she secretly signaled to Pei Jing and took the two children out.

Pei Yong nodded without any hesitation. "Yes, it was me who proposed it. JianGuo has raised the two children all by himself. I'll leave the house and money all to Wang Yue and move out with nothing."

Pei Shuangshuang puckered her lips and sobbed, "I don't agree. I don't agree with you getting divorced, Dad. Please don't get divorced. I don't want to not have a dad."

Although she was already 20 years old, when facing her parents' divorce, she was still just a child.

Pei Yong felt distressed, of course, and went over to hug her. "Shuangshuang, even if your mom and I get divorced, I'm still your dad. It won't change anything. And Dad promises you that he will come back often to see you in the future. If you and your brother miss Dad, you can also come to see Dad. Alright?"

"No, I don't want that. I just don't want you to get divorced." Pei Shuangshuang pushed Pei Yong away in distress. "Anyway, I don't agree. If you insist on getting divorced, then you are no longer my dad."

Pei Yong kept a calm face. Although he felt somewhat disappointed, her words did not affect his heart at all.

Perhaps this was just the kind of person he was. Once he proposed something that he had never mentioned before, there would be absolutely no room for regret. Just like his tolerance for Wang Yue had reached its limit after this incident of splitting up the family business.

He could tolerate living in Wang Yue's shadow. He owed her that. But he couldn't let his old father still have to look at his daughter-in-law's face to live. It was unreasonable. "No matter if you recognize me or not, it does not change the fact that I am your father. You don't understand things between your mom and me. We have been entangled for a lifetime. She is also very unhappy. Letting go now is the best for everyone. She got what she wanted - the house, the money, no worries - so she can also pursue her own happiness."

He would not want Wang Yue to suffer miserably. Even if they couldn't be husband and wife anymore, they still had two children as a bond between them. As long as they could have peace for the rest of their lives, that would be enough.

"How do I not understand? I understand everything. You are pursuing your own happiness, but have you ever thought about what would happen to me and my brother?" Pei Shuangshuang looked to Pei JianGuo for help. "Brother, say something. You don't agree with Mom and Dad getting divorced either, right?"

Pei JianGuo remained silent. He didn't dare to say he agreed, because the mother who had raised him was in his heart. But as he grew older, he increasingly understood his father's pain.

In this marriage, neither of them was happy. Letting go was the best option.

But obviously, his mother was unwilling, so someone was destined to get hurt.

"Why don't you say anything?" Pei Shuangshuang looked at her brother in disbelief. She completely couldn't understand the meaning behind his silence. Did he agree with their parents getting divorced?

Pei JianGuo avoided her gaze, not daring to look at Pei Shuangshuang. But she pushed him violently. "Pei JianGuo, can you do this to Mom? Have you forgotten that Mom raised the two of us? Other than giving money occasionally, Dad didn't even come back once in years. And now he still wants a divorce. Yet you are taking his side?"

Were Pei JianGuo and Pei Shuangshuang really the same?

When he was little, although Pei Yong and Wang Yue fought, it wasn't so serious yet. He had also enjoyed family life with both parents around.

At that time, Pei Yong also doted on him very much, always holding him in his arms and carrying him on his neck whenever he came back, holding him up high, carving small wooden spears for him, and affectionately calling him a good son...

He also clearly felt that as his mother became more nagging and complaining, his father became more and more distressed and came back less and less.

When he was little, he also couldn't understand and blamed Pei Yong. But when grown up, he found that he couldn't stand it more and more either, and wanted to escape, yet it seemed that he couldn't get away.

At least now he could understand Pei Yong.

Pei JianGuo remained silent. Pei Shuangshuang cried and ran away. He could only chase after her.

Their grandfather sighed, feeling truly sad yet somewhat comforted. "JianGuo has really grown up now."

But growing up came at a price.

He could understand Pei Yong because now he was the one bearing Wang Yue's oppression. Sometimes he even truly wanted to escape recklessly. But that would make him seem very ungrateful.

That night, the whole family entered the space.

Zhi Xia placed two tree leaves on the twins' foreheads. A gorgeous glow passed and fell into their bodies, then everything became calm again.

She was stunned for a moment. "So... they will have good luck from now on?"

She didn't understand herself, let alone Pei Jing.

After sending the two children to rest in their newly purchased bedroom, Pei Jing took her into his arms. "Don't think too much. Whether they have good luck or not, as long as the kids grow up healthy, that's enough."

Zhi Xia thought that made sense.

She naturally nestled into Pei Jing's arms and reluctantly said, "You really have to leave tomorrow?"

Pei Jing gave a muffled hmm, and his rough palms had already slipped under her clothes, grasping the special scenery.

The air also became hot. She could only console herself, "I almost forgot that you can also enter the space in the future. Then our family can still be together in the space."

"Yeah, as long as I have free time, I'll come to see you guys." He didn't dare to say that although he could enter the space, the time they could spend together would probably not be much.

This was the country's first special operations team. This mission was very important, and as the instructor, his role was even more crucial.

In the considerable length of time to come, he would be extremely busy, busy to the point where he might not even have time to rest.
