Chapter 528: Selling the House and Going Abroad

astically, “Then you should ask your husband if he agrees, hehe.”At this time, Qiao Bao'er was reluctant to face Jun Zhimu in her heart. She knew she was wrong and hesitated to speak, "I, I and Tang Y...Zhu Xiaowei didn't go back to that hospital. She didn't even bother to get back the 5,000 yuan deposit she had paid. It seemed that she no longer cared about money as much as she used to.

She changed into a normal, everyday outfit and went directly to the agency, just like anyone else who wanted to sell their house. She casually inquired about the process.

Before her marriage, she had a small apartment of over 70 square meters on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city. It was still being paid off in installments, with five years left to go.

"...Even if we don't sell everything, we can find a way to help you sell the rest. It's just a matter of price..."

"As long as it can be sold within three days and I get the cash, even if it's half the market price, I can accept it." Zhu Xiaowei barely talked to the other party, just mumbled a few words before leaving.

The intermediary, hearing her say this, cut the price in half and readily agreed, immediately going to handle it, guaranteeing that he could help her sell the house within a few days.

She has been very busy these days, running around different departments to get things signed and stamped.

She threw away her old SIM card and got a new one.

Three days later, the real estate agent excitedly called her, saying that a buyer was willing to transfer cash immediately and even offered to lower the price by another 100,000 yuan. The agency would handle all the paperwork.

Zhu Xiaowei almost didn't think, and agreed, "Okay."

The real estate agent never thought she'd negotiate so well, based on her experience, people who desperately need to sell a property and cash out in a short period are usually facing some kind of family emergency.

But this Ms. Zhu gave him the impression that her face showed no sadness, nor anxiety or restlessness; she was particularly calm, too silent.

Being in a bad mood, she felt she couldn't continue working for Qiao Baoer for free. But asking her for money felt too crass. In short, feeling unbalanced, she purposely disappeared for a few days.

Jo Bao'er wanted to find Zhu Xiaowei, but without the help of someone she knew, it was like finding a needle in a haystack. There was no way.

qiao ba er couldn't find anyone, and there was no news from Pei Haoran.

The Pei family's courtyard house.

"It's so late, where are you going Everyone at home is waiting for you to have dinner."

Guan Lei wore an apron, with thick gloves on her hands, carrying a bowl of American ginseng soup out. “You’ve been busy these days, running around everywhere. Look, you’ve lost a lot of weight.”

Pei Haoran didn't look back and continued walking towards the door, "You guys eat, I have something to do."

Guan Lei put down the bowl of soup and ran over quickly, grabbing his arm.

"…"Pei Yi just got discharged from the hospital today, where else are you going You should spend more time with him."

Pei Haoran was feeling very irritable, "There are so many people at home to accompany him, he doesn't need me."

That's not the same, he's always been very clingy with you since he was little.

Mrs. Pei also walked over, "Hao Ran, it's late at night, what are you still busy with No matter how busy you are, you should spend time with your family."

"Then, Lady Pei looked at her grandson over at the table with a pained expression on his frail little face, " ...Go comfort the child, make him feel better. Otherwise, he'll have nightmares again tonight."

At that moment, Pei Haoran's phone in his pocket rang. He was on edge, and the screen displayed an unfamiliar incoming call number. He was about to answer it.

Pei's wife snatched the phone away and ended the call directly, her face displeased. "You're so nervous about this stranger calling you I just wanted you to spend more time with your family, but you weren't willing. Hao Ran, do you even consider this house a home"

Pei Haoran seemed to have been suppressing a huge amount of emotion these days, unable to vent it. "You said you're all family, but have any of you noticed that Zhu Xiaowei is missing!"

He rarely glared at his mother.

Mrs. Pei saw that he was actually angry with her for a woman, and she looked very hurt.

Master Pei hurried over with big strides, his face stern as he reprimanded, "Haoran, how can you speak to your mother like that."

Pei Haoran also realized his tone was inappropriate. He pursed his lips, turned his head to the side, and remained silent.

Guan Lei walked to the middle and naturally took Pei Haoran's hand, gently and kindly persuading him, "Family, let's just sit down and talk things through..." She half-dragged and half-led him towards the dining table. "Go pour some soup for Mom and Dad, you must be hungry too."

Guan Lei handled it very generously, keeping her composure and giving the two elders a way out. She said, "Dad, Mom, let's all go to the dinner table together."

Although Guan Lei's past behavior had caused the Pei family a headache, seeing that she gave birth to Pei Yi, the Pei elders were extremely tolerant of her, always hoping that Guan Lei would end up with Pei Haoran for life.

Seeing her change so much these past few months, I feel particularly comforted. After all, Guan Lei is Pei Yi's biological mother. Blood ties, this kind of thing, no matter how good other women are, they can't replace a real mother.

Pei Haoran's face wasn't looking too good, but he let Guan Lei pull him over to the dinner table. The entire Pei family sat around eating.

"...Guan Lei's soup is quite good." Old Master Pei praised after taking a sip of the simmered soup.

Guan Lei's face was beaming with a smile as she offered the elderly couple some slices of meat, "I learned how to stir-fry squid slices. Dad, Mom, try it and see if you like it."

Recently, Guan Lei has become increasingly capable as a virtuous daughter-in-law. Madam Pei blew a small spoonful of porridge cool and carefully fed it to Pei Yi in the children's chair next to her. She looked up and sighed, "This is our ordinary happiness. It's truly a blessing for our family to be together like this."

"Having said that, she turned to look at Pei Haoran across from her, who was mechanically eating his meal, and reminded him, 'Haoran, you guys should also go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to remarry sometime.'"

Pei Haoran paused his hand holding the chopsticks and immediately looked up.

Guan Lei, however, spoke up first, a little embarrassed, "Mom, this matter, Hao Ran and I will deal with it slowly later, no need to rush..."

"...Xiaoyi, students at school are all saying that he has two mothers, how strange is that You adults should sort things out quickly and don't affect the child..."

Madam Pei thought only of her grandson.

Pei Haoran slammed his chopsticks down, his tone serious as he declared, "Mom, it's impossible for me and Guan Lei to remarry!"

The harmonious atmosphere of the whole family was shattered in an instant.

Everyone immediately turned to look at him, Guan Lei's face the most unreadable.

Mr. Pei seemed to be very displeased with his son recently, and even a bit angry. He slammed his chopsticks down and put on an elder's air, saying, "What kind of talk is that Now Guan Lei, what else are you dissatisfied with She's been working so hard and diligently washing our clothes and cooking for us, why are you still being picky"

"You all act as if Zhu Xiaowei doesn't exist, right!" Pei Haoran practically roared.

"I originally thought Zhu Xiaowei was a good-tempered person, but it turns out she made unreasonable demands again and again, ran away from home, and now I don't even know where she went. How can we expect her to stay quietly in our Pei family"

Mrs. Pei lectured her daughter-in-law, criticizing her improper behavior, "If she learns from Qiao Bao'er, our Pei family can't afford to raise her!"

Why did Zhu Xiaowei run away from home!

Pei Haoran suddenly stood up from his chair, as if enraged, and shouted angrily at his parents.

For years, the emotions he'd kept bottled up in his chest finally erupted in a strangled cry, "…Isn't this what we forced her into Doesn't she have a home she can't return to Has she ever uttered a word of complaint It's my fault as a husband, I haven't been good enough. She even had an abortion now, are you satisfied!"

The Pei family's elders at the dinner table were shocked, and they both fell silent. Because their second son, although not exactly mild-mannered, would definitely not roar at them like this.

And he said, Zhu Xiaowei aborted the child.

Guan Lei's mind was the clearest; she immediately caught the key point and whispered softly, wanting to confirm, "Did Zhu Xiaowei really abort her child"

Pei Haoran's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly.

"...Aunt Zhu left home because of me."

Pei Yi at the table suddenly burst into tears. He had just finished surgery for appendicitis a few days ago, and the child was recovering slower, his small face was pale with illness. At this moment, he cried loudly, sobbing uncontrollably, "...I'm not my dad's biological son, I knew it long ago, I don't have a father, I don't have a father."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!nd immediately expressed their gratitude to Pei Haoran, because in their country, there were always many "righteous" people who would threaten legal action at the drop of a hat, especially idle rich p...
