Wang Peiling was scolded by Senior Master Wang until all the color drained from his face, and he was unsteady on his feet.
Father Wang, feeling a bit sympathetic, held Senior Master Wang’s arm and said, "Dad, just sit down and calm down first..."
"Calm down for what? I’m about to be infuriated to death by you all!" Senior Master Wang flung off Father Wang’s hand, pointed at Wang Peiling’s nose, and said, "Wang Peiling, listen carefully. If you don’t realize your mistake, if you keep making the sa mistake, you not only won’t be able to marry Yue Yaer, but you’ll never marry a good girl in your lifeti! Your ultimate fate will be the sa as your father’s, marrying a woman like your mother, and then the Wang Family will be finished!"
His words were a rebuke to the entire Wang Peiling family.
Father Wang’s face turned from blue to white.
Mother Wang was consud with the fact that Yue Yaer refused to treat her illness, looking anxious.
Wang Peiling, however, was completely bewildered.
He stared blankly at Senior Master Wang, as if talking to Senior Master Wang or perhaps talking to himself: "Was it my mistake? Was it really my mistake?"
Senior Master Wang raised his hand and slapped him, "Wang Peiling, this slap is to wake you up, to tell you what a man is ant to be! A man should be the person who stands up in front of his woman when she is wronged, taking the brunt of the storm, not the person who trades her grievances for his own peace!"
Wang Peiling’s head was tilted to the side by the slap.
He stayed in that position, not moving for a long ti.
Senior Master Wang continued, "Think for yourself. Your mother wanted Yue Yaer to sign the agreent, and when she didn’t sign, isn’t your thought that if Yue Yaer signed it, your mother wouldn’t be angry anymore, and you wouldn’t be caught in the middle?"
Wang Peiling instinctively nodded.
He couldn’t deny it.
That’s indeed how he thought.
"That’s trading Yue Yaer’s grievances for your own peace!" Senior Master Wang pointed at his nose and scolded, "You push Yue Yaer out to take the bla so that you can live a peaceful life, and you still have the nerve to claim you like her? With your kind of thinking, no sensible girl would marry you. If you don’t change, you’ll end up marrying a woman like your mother. Don’t ever think about marrying a good woman!"
Senior Master Wang’s roaring echoed over and over in Wang Peiling’s ears.
He always thought Yue Yaer was wrong.
But now, his grandfather was yelling at him saying that he was the one who was wrong.
From start to finish, he was the one who was wrong...
Suddenly, his vision went black, and he collapsed softly to the ground.

The Gu Family villa.
After arranging things for Chi Yu and his siblings, then ensuring Xiao Shumiao and Lingyue were asleep, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei returned to their bedroom.
After showering, while lying in bed, Ye Xingbei turned to look at Gu Junzhu and said, "Tomorrow’s the twenty-seventh; tomorrow night I’m going to move into my brother’s house."
Gu Junzhu gave her head a gentle pat, "Sigh."
"Sigh what?" Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but laugh, "It’s just for a day. We’ll be able to see each other again on the twenty-ninth, right?"
Gu Junzhu raised an eyebrow at her, "You’re not even a bit reluctant to leave ?"
Ye Xingbei, driven by a strong survival instinct, said firmly, "I am, very much so, I can’t bear to leave you. But isn’t this the custom? There’s no way around it."
"Oh, you!" Gu Junzhu pinched her nose and then leaned over her, "My dear, shall I tell you a joke?"
Ye Xingbei wrapped her arms around his neck, "What joke?"
Gu Junzhu cleared his throat, "A refrigerator and an ice cream are a couple.
One day, ice cream and the refrigerator got into an argunt, and ice cream angrily left the fridge.
But after taking just a few steps away, ice cream began to lt.
Frightened of lting, ice cream admitted its mistake to the refrigerator.
The refrigerator opened its door, gave ice cream a glance, and said coldly, ’Realized your mistake? Get in and freeze yourself!’"
Ye Xingbei: "..."
