Chapter 3 PT1 – The Pei Family
The Pei family is a large and wealthy family, and its main branch is in Hai City. The person that Lin Shuangyu’s mother remarried is a member of just abranch of the Pei family, but he is enough to stand out in the small Jiangcheng.
The Pei family’s residence is located in the best location in Jiangcheng, with the bustling commercial district in front and the leisure sanctuary Lu Lake in the back. A single-family garden villa existed in a quiet place in the bustling city, and the main house is located in the center of this property.
Lin Shuangyu had a sore waist and legs, so he got out of the car and walked slowly to the gate of the main house. After facial recognition, a small door split apart on the main gate opened. He walked in, and the housekeeper came out when he heard the door opening.
Seeing that it was Lin Shuangyu, the housekeeper Jin Bo smiled faintly: “The second young master is back.”
The smile on Jin Bo’s face was not sincere enough, and it was a bit perfunctory.
After all, this “Second Young Master” is just a young master in vain. He is actually a burden from an outsider family with an awkward status. He is not within the scope of their service and can only do superficial work.
In their eyes, Lin Shuangyu was a dull and cowardly person who was hated by everyone. He pursed his lips, said “hmm”, and walked in.
The servants in the yard all ignored Lin Shuangyu. There was an invisible sense of rejection in the air, telling him that he was not welcome in this family.
Lin Shuangyu put his hands in his pockets and walked into the house indifferently.
He came back at dinner time, but this time the living room was not filled with the aroma of food like the previous times he came back, nor was his stepfather, Pei He, present. Instead, his mother, Lin Lan, was directing the servants to carefully move a large suitcase down from the elevator.
Lin Lan smiled when she saw him: “Shuangyu is back, please sit for a while, I will pack this luggage and then we will have dinner.”
“You’re going out?”
“No, something happened in Hai City, and your uncle Pei rushed over. He probably won’t be back for a while, so I asked someone to send his luggage over.”
Hearing that he didn’t have to see Pei He, Lin Shuangyu felt much more relieved. He said “Oh” and said nothing more.
However, Aunt Li, one of the servants, has worked here for several years and is a veteran. She doesn’t follow so many rules in front of the master.
While helping to pack some daily necessities into a small box, he asked curiously, “What happened at Hai City?”
Lin Lan put the daily necessities in the box and replied, “It is said that the family head suddenly fell ill and collapsed.”
“Hiss,” Aunt Li took a breath, “It would be a mess. There are so many children and grandchildren in the family, and the new head must have to fight for it.”
The struggle for power has always been cruel. Even though we are now in a society ruled by law and not so bloody, the successor of a big family cannot easily ascend to the throne, especially when the previous person in power fell without any warning.
“That’s right. I hope it won’t affect us. Uncle Jin, please ask the driver to send this luggage to the airport as soon as possible.”
Lin Lan covered the small box, placed it on the suitcase, and instructed Butler Jin.
Butler Jin: “Yes, ma’am.”
Who will be the head of the Pei family in the future has nothing to do with Lin Shuangyu.
He was relieved that he didn’t have to see Pei He.
Lin Lan told Aunt Li to set the table, then looked at Lin Shuangyu, noticing that there were still traces of sleep on his face, his eyes were half-open, and he looked like he had just woken up, and she frowned.
“You didn’t wake up until now, did you?”
Lin Shuangyu uttered a “hmm”.
“You are really…”
Lin Lan swallowed the words of reproach on her lips. Facing this son who was already much taller than her, she sighed slightly and asked, “You got your diploma, right? Have you decided what kind of job you want to do?”
“I’m considering it.”
“Do you want me to ask your Uncle Pei…”
“No, I can find it myself.”
“……”
The mother and son fell into silence.
After a moment, Lin Lan smiled bitterly: “In fact, your Uncle Pei has always cared about you. You don’t have to treat yourself as an outsider.”
Care?
Lin Shuangyu sneered inwardly and expressionlessly replied with an “Oh”.
“…….” The atmosphere fell silent again.
“I’m leaving first.” Lin Shuangyu said when he saw that Lin Lan didn’t seem to have anything else to say to him.
Since Pei He was not present, he naturally didn’t need to stay there any longer.
“The meal is ready, eat before you go.”
“No, I have no appetite.”
Lin Lan then noticed Lin Shuangyu’s unusually pale face. She was about to ask him what was wrong and whether he was sick when a child’s cry came from the small living room next door. It was her and Pei He’s 6-year-old daughter Pei Xingqiao. She could only take care of the child first.
By the time she finished coaxing Pei Xingqiao, Lin Shuangyu had already left.
After walking out of the residential area where the Pei family lived, Lin Shuangyu’s legs felt so sore that he squatted on the curb and took out his cell phone to hail a taxi.
As soon as his phone prompted him to accept the order, a white car slowly stopped in front of him. Lin Shuangyu wondered if taxi drivers are so fast nowadays. Just as he was about to get in the car, he saw the driver’s window lowered, revealing the face of Pei Jin, the eldest brother of the Pei family.
Lin Shuangyu slowly lowered his buttocks, which had just been raised, and cursed inwardly that it was bad luck.
“What are you doing here?” Pei Jin asked with a frown.
Lin Shaungyu uttered two words: “Waiting for the bus.”
“You’re leaving so soon?”
Pei Jin frowned even deeper, and then said coldly: “But it’s okay to talk about it here. Dad asked me to help you find a job. You can report to Rip’s design department next week. I’ve already made the arrangements.”
After a pause, Pei Jin continued, “But let me be frank. Our company doesn’t support idlers. If you take advantage of your status as the second young master and don’t know how to do your job well, you will have to get out!”
It turns out Pei He asked him to come back because of his work.
Pei Jin must have been disgusted when he was allowed to enter Rip.
Lin Shuangyu sneered inwardly, but refused calmly on the surface: “No, I can handle it myself.”
“It’s up to you. Anyway, I’ve delivered my message. Whether you go or not has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to see you in Rip.”
As he was about to close the car window, he thought of something and said, “Also, put away your dirty thoughts and stop pestering Pei Xingchen. You don’t deserve him!”
After saying these words, Pei Jin walked away arrogantly.
Pei Xingchen is a popular Omega. His pheromones smell extraordinarily good, which is fatally attractive to a weak Alpha like Lin Shuangyu.
Lin Shuangyu’s last susceptible period came early without him noticing, and he happened to be with Pei Xingchen at that time, and was almost hooked by his pheromones and lost his mind. These people concluded that he had dirty thoughts towards Pei Xingchen and became even more disgusted with him.
Seeing that explanation was useless, Lin Shuangyu was too lazy to explain. These people always had reasons to hate him anyway, so it didn’t matter if there was one more thing.
After resting for several days, Lin Shuangyu’s body finally recovered. He went to the hospital for a check-up right away, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had no infectious diseases.
For a period of time afterwards, Lin Shuangyu stayed at home painting.
