The mind-reading fake heiress changes her fate by eating melons.

Chapter 219 I'm such a joke

"No way!" Xuanrui shook her head vigorously. "Mom would never let that happen!"

“Is that so…” Pei Jiyue’s eyes dimmed. “But how can I trust you?”

"Mom, you said you had no better choice, but you could have told us, then Pei Jinhao wouldn't be able to threaten you anymore. Why did you choose to go along with him?"

"What can I say!" Xuan Rui suddenly broke down and exploded, "What can I say to you! That I betrayed Yuan Si and the family? Or that you and Ming Yu are not Yuan Si's children?"

Xuanrui felt that none of them could understand her pain.

She was clearly forced into this situation!

"Tell me! Tell me! How am I supposed to start this?"

Xuan Rui's voice echoed in the room, as if she wanted to question everyone present: Can any of you tell me what I should do? Would you have done better in my place?

Pei Chuyao shook her head helplessly and handed a file folder to Xuan Rui.

"You still see yourself as a victim, right? That means you don't think there's anything wrong with your choices at all."

Xuan Rui took the document with a puzzled look, opened the file bag, and took out two appraisal reports.

The above content conveys the following information: Pei Yuansi is the biological father of Pei Mingyu and Pei Jiyue.

Xuan Rui read the two reports over and over again, staring at the results line word by word, wishing she could pierce through the paper in her hands.

She remained silent, but her eyes widened, and more and more bloodshot veins crept onto her eyeballs.

"Ha." A tear fell onto the report paper, and Xuan Rui finally uttered her first sound after a long silence, but it was a self-deprecating laugh.

"Hahahahaha..."

She tossed the report in her hand upwards, laughing louder and louder, her face streaked with tears.

"I'm such a joke, a joke, hahahaha..."

Xuan Rui's current reaction frightened Pei Mingyu and Pei Jiyue. They still couldn't shake their worry for their mother. "Mom? Calm down, don't be like this."

But Xuanrui couldn't hear anything anymore. After laughing maniacally for a while, she suddenly rolled her eyes and fainted.

The Pei siblings rushed to help her, then quickly called an ambulance and accompanied Xuan Rui to the hospital.

As for the remaining family of four, only Pei Jinhao was still frantically pleading for mercy.

"Third sister, I was just momentarily blinded by greed. Please forgive me this time. I promise I won't make the same mistake again!"

Pei Jinwen now truly felt that he might also bear a significant responsibility in this matter.

If she hadn't forgiven Pei Jinhao time and time again, always being soft-hearted towards him because he was her younger brother, and constantly helping him, allowing him to become increasingly greedy and reckless, he might not have had the audacity to target her grandchildren, and even had the nerve to beg for mercy after everything was exposed.

But it was too late for her to regret it then, so she might as well take this opportunity to make amends.

“I will have my lawyer draft an agreement and release it to the public. From now on, I will sever all ties with you, and you will no longer be my brother.”

She didn't care whether the agreement was legally binding; all she wanted was for outsiders to know the Pei family's attitude towards Pei Jinhao from now on.

Pei Jinhao has benefited greatly from his status as a member of the Pei family over the years. Whatever mess he makes in the future, or even whether he lives or dies, will have nothing to do with Pei Jinwen or the Pei family.

Pei Jinhao's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Sister, you can't do this to me! I'm your only brother now. If Mom and Dad knew this in the afterlife, they would never forgive you!"

"Please, please don't do this! You're killing me!"

Both the An and Pei families wondered if Pei Jinhao had a histrionic personality disorder. This reaction was too exaggerated. How could it be that he wanted to die?

It was Anling who gave them the answer.

Pei Jinhao and Su Xiaowan had borrowed a lot of money from loan sharks due to gambling and had long been threatened by debt collectors. They only managed to escape the debt collectors' tactics several times by invoking their family connections.

[Including this trip to Las Vegas, I was almost detained there and couldn't return home. It was only because they repeatedly assured me that they would get the money to pay back soon that I was spared.]

[Once the outside world finds out that the Pei family has severed ties with Pei Jinhao, it's hard to say what will happen to him and Su Xiaowan.]

Only then did the An and Pei families realize why Pei Jinhao was so afraid, but Pei Jinwen did not soften his heart again.

"There's no turning back now. You have to pay the price for what you've done."

Seeing that Pei Jinwen was serious, Su Xiaowan also started to go crazy. She shouted at Pei Jinhao:

"Pei Jinhao! You have to think of something! Didn't you say the Pei family would definitely help you? We owe so much money, those debt collectors won't let us go!"

"And Xiaobo, Xiaobo is our son, he'll definitely be implicated too, you can't just ignore him!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinhao burst into tears and knelt down, kowtowing several times to Pei Jinwen. "Sister, please, I really beg you, those people will kill me!"

"Even if you don't care about me, you can't abandon Xiaobo! He's my son. You can't just watch me die without an heir..."

Please, save us! After we pay back the money this time, I promise I'll never gamble again! I swear, Xiaowan and I will both quit gambling!

Don't be fooled by Pei Jinhao's current regretful expression; everyone knows that you can't trust a gambler's words, not even a single punctuation mark.

An Ling, still not satisfied with Pei Jinhao's actions of kowtowing and pleading, retorted with the same words he had spoken the previous night:

"Pei Jinhao, who knows if Lu Anbo is your child? Are you so sure you're not raising someone else's son for nothing?"

Upon hearing these words, Pei Jinhao stopped what he was doing and looked at An Ling with a blank expression that turned into anger.

However, this anger was directed at An Ling.

"Stop spouting nonsense. Do you think everyone is like the An family? Xiaowan told me she was carrying my child when she was pregnant. She secretly took my sample for testing!"

“Oh,” Anling said nonchalantly, “Have you seen that report?”

Pei Jinhao then realized the problem.

He hasn't seen it.

All of this was told to him by Su Xiaowan back then. Su Xiaowan said she was afraid her husband would find out about the report, so she destroyed it as soon as she saw the results. However, he felt that Su Xiaowan had no reason to lie to him, her cheating partner, on such a matter, so he never suspected anything.

But he could deceive Xuan Rui with empty lies, making her believe that the Pei siblings were his children.

Could it be that Su Xiaowan... was also lying to him?

Pei Jinhao turned to look at Su Xiaowan, his eyes filled with unease and suspicion.

"Xiaowan..."

"You really did have it checked back then, didn't you?"

"You're not lying to me, are you? Is Xiao Bo really my son?"
