Chapter 164: Chapter 163: How Do You Know He Won’t Like Me? (Second Update, Vote Please)

Cheng Chili burst into tears, "Fifth brother!..."

He really is a pig-brained man, always thinking Pei Zhan wasn’t man enough, yet never considering Fu Zhen’s current state of mind!

At this moment, let’s not even mention Pei Zhan, her cousin-in-law, she wouldn’t be willing to deal with anyone!

Pei Zhan gazed out at the street scene outside the window, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

Although she doesn’t look much different from the impression he had of her, her personality is still open-hearted and unrestrained, still carefree. However, her eyes used to be clear and pure, passionate as fire. Now they are steadier and sharper.

Passionate, yes, but now it’s the passion left after being tempered by fire.

"Fifth brother," after crying, Cheng Chili wiped away his tears and sniffled, suddenly realizing: "Was what you said today purely to trap Aunt? Why didn’t you propose? Tell her clearly that you can protect her! What if she misunderstands you in the future?"

Pei Zhan glanced at him: "If she wants to misunderstand me, don’t you have to explain it? You’re responsible for explaining!"

Cheng Chili: "..."

Pei Zhan shifted his gaze, continuing to look outside: "The Liang family members are all stubborn! None of them want to burden others.

"Even when I insisted on getting involved in this case, they were unwilling.

"Back then, she would rather climb the Liang Family’s walls to secretly see her family than recognize Shaoyang and Xing Er because she knew Xu Yin had people behind him. She was willing to carry it all herself because she thought it was her mistake.

"Only after the Fu Family incident with Fu Jun did she lose her status as a government-registered daughter and had no choice but to reunite with Shaoyuan.

"She doesn’t even want to implicate her own family, how could she possibly agree to marry me just to have this identity?"

Cheng Chili was at a loss for words.

Exactly, Fu Zhen isn’t that kind of person! How could she agree to involve the Pei family in her revenge!

If we want to help her, isn’t it only through strategy?

He was truly unworthy of being Aunt’s admirer for years, yet knew her less than Pei Zhan who almost had no interaction with her!

Looking at Pei Zhan again, Cheng Chili became curious: "After you’ve resolved the immediate crisis, do you still intend to continue with Aunt? If things really do happen, wouldn’t you gain everything while Aunt only gets the status of the General Pingxi’s wife, without getting anything else?"

Although he knew it was to help, the Fifth Brother still harbored thoughts for Aunt, and had intentions towards her! He felt it was unfair for Aunt who was unaware.

Seeing Aunt’s current behavior, she didn’t seem interested in a younger cousin like him. If she didn’t marry someone she liked, wouldn’t it be a loss?

In the past, she was hurt by a scumbag and didn’t have happiness. In this life, she should at least marry a good man, have a few chubby children and they grow old together, shouldn’t she?

But Pei Zhan would have his wish fulfilled then!

Pei Zhan retorted coldly, "We’ll talk about the future when it comes."

"What if she meets someone she likes in the future?"

Pei Zhan’s face turned even gloomier, "How do you know it won’t be me she likes?"

Cheng Chili had little confidence in him: "When you were young, you ignored her, wouldn’t call her Aunt, and were very dull. She always thought you were rude and not cute.

"Besides, we are ultimately her cousin generation, a whole generation apart, and most importantly, she likes the type of Xu Yin—" Cheng Chili twisted his body, made a gesture, "the type that’s very skillful! But you aren’t skillful either."

Pei Zhan got angry, "Have you arrived yet?"

"Not yet!"

"Stop the car! Let him get out for me!"

Cheng Chili hadn’t finished speaking!

He clearly had more to say!

Pei Zhan watched with an icy glare as Guo Song "cordially" escorted him out of the car. Just as he hit the ground, Pei Zhan suddenly opened the door again, leaned out, and said, "Get back here for me!"

Cheng Chili was unhappy: "You just told me to leave, now you tell me to come back. You’re bullying people!"

Pei Zhan didn’t bother to argue with him, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back into the car: "What were you going to say? What has she said about me? How does she evaluate me? How many times has she mentioned me? Under what circumstances did she mention me? Tell me everything!"

Cheng Chili stiffened his neck: "You just kicked me out just now!"

Pei Zhan straightened up in his seat: "If you tell me, when I marry her, I’ll let you sit at the main table! I’ll toast to you!"

"Yeah, right!"

Cheng Chili laughed dryly, spreading his hands: "That’s a hundred and eighty thousand miles away! There’s no way my Aunt would marry you! She’s not that easy to fool, you won’t trick her!"

Pei Zhan’s face turned dark: "If you keep babbling, I’ll tell her about the time you betrayed her!"

Cheng Chili jumped up: "You, Fifth Brother! You have no martial ethics!"

...

They said they would help, but who would really let Fu Zhen help them?

It was just to join in the excitement at Wanbin Building for a few days.

On the eve of its opening, Liang Zhi and Cheng Chili took a stroll around the shop, presenting their gifts early to avoid the inconvenience of the crowd the next day.

That night, the Ning Family unexpectedly received a "gift," a letter from Scholar Shen Shiyao of the Hanlin Academy: Scholar Shen, known for his learning at court, had read his article and actually wanted to meet Ning Jia!

This news shocked the three people of the Ning Family!

"How could Scholar Shen know about Jia Ge’er?"

This was undoubtedly great news, but how could such an honor suddenly come their way?

Ning Jia, both joyful and anxious, paced around in circles, "Only that day at the Cheng Residence did General Pei test me on my homework, and he also asked for my opinion on Scholar Shen’s works. Could it really be him?"

Fu Zhen instantly knew in her heart!

This was definitely Pei Zhan’s doing!

No wonder he volunteered that day to go to the Hanlin Academy to find Liu Rong, because he had other business, which was actually this matter!

Initially, she thought he wouldn’t agree, but unexpectedly he handled it quietly, and now she owed him a favor again!

Mrs. Ning immediately instructed Ning Jia: "This is a favor from General Pei, you’re the boy in the family, go thank the General."

Ning Jia hurriedly went!

Before he even got out the door, another letter from Liang Chen arrived, stating that he had also made a request with the Sacrificial Officer at the Imperial College that day to add an extra slot for the new autumn students.

Unexpectedly, Pei Zhan was one step ahead and had Scholar Shen accept Ning Jia as a student first!

Becoming a student of Scholar Shen not only guaranteed his place at the Imperial College but also established him as a disciple of a renowned teacher, opening up wider paths in the future!

Liang Chen felt dissatisfied that something he could have done for Aunt was snatched away by the Fifth Brother!

However, his letter, half filled with complaints, turned into full satisfaction in the second half. After all, it was a good thing, with Ning Jia standing out, Fu Zhen naturally benefited too!

Mrs. Ning was surprised by these successive "favors," seeing that Scholar Shen not only wanted to see Ning Jia but also wanted to take him as a student!

This was something she didn’t dare dream of after her divorce!

Mrs. Ning sighed, "It turns out there is also some sort of friendship between Zhen Er and General Pei."
