Chapter 161: How Could She Do That?
Yuan Rong did not do as Xie Pinghuai said immediately. He went to report this matter to Ms. Lu first.
Ms. Lu thought it was strange.
When Xie Pinghuai had left in the morning, he had been calling Pei Wanyue Second Sister. Why was he calling her by her full name now?
At that moment, she felt sorry for her daughter. Although she had joined this family, she still had a different family name. The children from the family would snap at her whenever they were upset.
It was no wonder that Yue’er was upset.
Ms. Lu thought about it and said, “School will be over in a few hours. Let’s wait for Yue’er to come home. Hmm, get someone to buy a pair of crickets at the market. That’s his favorite thing to play with. If he’s unhappy, he can play with them to kill time.”
She wondered what had happened to Xie Pinghuai to want to vent on Yue’er.
Ms. Lu was upset and rubbed her belly. If she could bear a child, no matter if it was a son or daughter, would she be able to have a say in the family…
Xie Pinghuai thought the steward had gone to get Pei Wanyue home. However, someone sent a pair of crickets to his courtyard after a long time.
His eyes lit up when he saw the crickets.
His eldest sister had taken every fun thing he had away from him.
Surprisingly, Xie Pinghuai figured something was wrong in the next second. “Who asked you to buy crickets? Where’s Pei Wanyue? Is she home yet!?”
“Steward Yuan said Second Young Lady would be home two hours later,” the servant said honestly.
“Two hours!?” Xie Pinghuai was stomping his feet. “School will be over anyway two hours later, right? What’s Yuan Rong trying to do? He let me wait here like a fool while he didn’t get anyone to get her home!?”
“It was Madam’s order,” the servant said immediately.
Xie Pinghuai turned into a shy quail as soon as he heard that.
He was pissed, but he had no idea what to say.
Anger was boiling inside of him. It was very irritating.
He thought he would just tolerate it since it would just be two hours. He was getting more and more pissed as time passed by.
He thought about it carefully. Pei Wanyue had mentioned the white jade before, asking him to give it to her. He had already reminded Pei Wanyue that his eldest brother would definitely kill him if he did that.
Never had he thought Pei Wanyue would not take him seriously when he had already made himself clear!
She had been saying he was her brother by blood. So this was what she did to her brother by blood?
It would be bearable if she hit him a few times and scolded him. At least, that would be done in public!
However, she had done something like that secretly…
Xie Pinghuai was furious.
Finally, Pei Wanyue returned as Xie Pinghuai waited. He rushed out directly.
Xie Pinghuai stopped Pei Wanyue before she even entered the house. He walked over quickly and said, “How shameless are you to give my jade to someone else!?”
Pei Wanyue’s face turned pale immediately.
Coincidentally, Xie Niushan happened to come home as well.
He understood upon hearing that and got the servants to leave right away.
“Father, I don’t want this sister! What kind of sister is she? I told her that I couldn’t give her the jade. I can’t believe she stole it. She sneaked into my room in the middle of the night. How could she do that!?” roared Xie Pinghuai.
Pei Wanyue felt nauseous, her tears pouring immediately. “Father… I’ve no idea what Brother is talking about…”
Xie Niushan frowned while looking at Xie Pinghuai, “Don’t spew nonsense. Do you have proof?”
“Why wouldn’t I? Someone took the jade to apply discipleship today! Eldest Sister and I saw that jade with our own eyes!” Xie Pinghuai rolled up his sleeves and charged suddenly. He lifted his foot to kick Pei Wanyue.
He was a hooligan, so his stomp was pretty hard.
Xie Niushan was quick to react, stopping him immediately. “You punk! Who taught you to hit women!?”
